This episode features a look at the more unpredictable and entertaining elements of the Super Bowl and the NFL offseason. The conversation includes prop betting on everything from the over/under length of the National Anthem—which is 120 seconds—to whether any team will score in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. They also speculate on the first commercial to air, with a sentimental Budweiser ad being a strong candidate. The hosts delve into the halftime show, providing rumors and insights about Bad Bunny's performance, including a potential costume choice and a major...

This episode kicks off with the hosts tackling the latest uncharacteristic move in the NFL coaching carousel: the Steelers’ hiring of Mike McCarthy. Given Pittsburgh's history of picking young, up-and-coming head coaches like Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll—all hired in their mid-30s—the crew is baffled by the choice of the 62-year-old McCarthy. The conversation then shifts to the perplexing situation in Buffalo, where the Bills’ head coaching job seems to be strangely unappealing. Philip Rivers was interviewed and then withdrew his name after Mike McDaniels canceled his...

Hear about the full major league treatment—from using the Nationals' spring training facility and clubhouse to getting a pre-game pep talk from the legendary Johnny Bench. Plus, find out how Bison performed in his first live action, driving in the first run of the whole camp, and how he ended up catching most of the game after a teammate got hurt.

The SMQB team is trying to figure out where the next great coaches will come from. They explore the NFL's constant churn, dubbed the "cycle of hell," where good offensive coordinators are quickly promoted, leaving a vacuum of poor play-callers like the Eagles' recently-fired Patullo. The conversation turns to the current head coach vacancies and the prospects of potential hires like John Harbaugh or a rebound coach like Kevin Stefanski. The question of who the "next Liam Cohen" (a successful coordinator-turned-head coach) might be is top of mind. The biggest questions, however, are in...

Take a trip down memory lane with the hosts as they look back on the sports stories of 2025 that they believe will be impossible to top. Bison leads with the one that can't be missed: Alex Ovechkin scoring his 895th goal, passing Wayne Gretzky to become the greatest goal scorer of all time. Pope highlights the drama of the World Series, which featured a seven-game series with extra innings and an 18-inning game. House celebrates two deeply personal moments: winning a Super Bowl with his Eagles in his hometown of New Orleans and his beloved alma mater, Tulane, making the College Football...

In the latest episode Bison, Pope, and Rooster dive into the tumultuous world of college football, tackling everything from scandals at the University of Michigan to the playoff system's inherent inequities. With a professional yet conversational tone, they explore the challenges facing college football today and what it means for the future of the sport. The Michigan Scandal The guys start with a shocking revelation about the University of Michigan, where co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss has been indicted for hacking into 15,000 student accounts to obtain compromising photographs of female...

Get the full breakdown of the season's crucial fantasy football drama as the hosts discuss a nail-biting playoff match between Pope and Rooster. Pope, who has been on a six-game winning streak and has a "shrine" dedicated to winning a league ring, is battling Rooster, who barely squeaked into the playoffs with an injury-focused strategy. The outcome of the game hinges on the Miami Dolphins vs. Pittsburgh defense matchup, with one host desperately needing an injury to Jalen Waddle on the first drive. The hosts also tally the results from the previous week's betting segment, "Plaxico," where the...

The panel tackles the underlying issue plaguing the college game: money. They argue that the entire structure of college football is now overwhelmingly "playoff-driven," causing the conference championship games to lose their significance. Winning a conference used to be a huge deal, but now teams like Notre Dame feel that if they aren't in the CFP, the season is effectively "done," and they're shutting down. This discussion leads to a sharp condemnation of Notre Dame's decision to sit out its bowl game, which the hosts call "the worst sportsmanship". They emphasize that this move sends a...

Lane Kiffin's move to LSU is the main financial story of the week, with the hosts confirming he signed a $91 million, seven-year contract at $13 million annually, a figure usually reserved for coaches with national championships. While debating if Kiffin deserves the money, they generally agree LSU is a superior job with more resources and a massive 102,000-person stadium, making it the better choice for long-term success compared to Ole Miss’s 60,000-person stadium. Pope points out Kiffin’s departure was particularly messy because he leveraged his position and took several offensive staff...

House kicks off the show with an absolute firestorm, still reeling from the Eagles' loss to the Cowboys. He brings Miami Heat coach Eric Spoelstra to the imaginary bar to teach Nick Sirianni a lesson in attention to detail, criticizing everything from the play-calling to the team's ability to beat itself. The rant is fueled by House's unique, on-court perspective of Spoelstra's intense, immediate adjustments during the Heat-Sixers game. The crew debates whether the Eagles' roster is truly superior to the surging Bears, and Milk doesn't hold back on the Buccaneers, calling for defensive...

He brings Miami Heat coach Eric Spoelstra to the imaginary bar to teach Nick Sirianni a lesson in attention to detail, criticizing everything from the play-calling to the team's ability to beat itself. The rant is fueled by House's unique, on-court perspective of Spoelstra's intense, immediate adjustments during the Heat-Sixers game. The crew debates whether the Eagles' roster is truly superior to the surging Bears, and Milk doesn't hold back on the Buccaneers, calling for defensive coordinator Todd Bowles' job over "negligence" after Baker Mayfield re-injured himself. They cap the NFL talk by setting the odds for a wild set of Thanksgiving games, making their official Week 13 picks, and debating who the best team in the AFC actually is.
The conversation then speeds over to Formula 1, where the team is stunned by the hyper-technical drama surrounding a recent race. After Lando Norris pulled comfortably ahead in the Drivers' Championship, both McLaren cars were disqualified due to skid plates being worn "too thin by millimeters." The SMQBs can't help but wonder if the whole thing is "rigged" to keep the championship fight alive against the lurking Max Verstappen with only two races left. Finally, in college football, the crew looks at the potential American Conference Championship game between Tulane and a high-scoring North Texas team, and the inevitable carousel of SEC jobs (Florida, LSU, Ole Miss, Auburn) that will open up as everyone tracks Lane Kiffin's private jet.
