The guys make one last broadcast while in Indianapolis after the big game! They take a good look at Eli’s Elite performance this Sunday in the epic rematch from 2008. Eli made pass after pass to come ahead in the end, 21 – 17, over the Giants. While still loosing, Tom Brady makes a classy comment during his post-game interview.

The guys are off to Indy! They’ll be on Radio Row all week, attending the pageantry of the Media Day Circus. Be sure to follow the website for updates, shows, and podcasts throughout the week! Special guest, former Redskins LB, LaVar Arrington calls in with a truly unique interview. He played for Penn State under JoPa, was the #2 overall pick in the 2000 draft, 3 time pro-bowl’er and creator of the Xtreme Procision complete football training system. He provides some great insight to his system and company as well as a few nice stories and words about former coach, Joe Paterno. Finally, the tables turn for Kyle Williams. After all the death threats this past week after he flubbed a couple catches that helped the Giants pull out a 20-17 win last week, 7 year old Los Angelesian Owen sent a heart wrenching, tear jerking letter to Mr. Williams. Sometimes, it’s the positive reinforcement that helps struggling players.

The Coaching Carousel comes to an abrupt halt as the ride stops for the season. There were two spots left and two spots filled. The first lucky winner is Greg Schiano to go to Tampa Bay. Let’s be real though, the guys expected a bit more out of the Buccs. Their taking a 45 year old who has never coached an NFL team, a .500 Purdue coach, but hopefully he can pull of something crazy this coming season. Second is Ravens Defensive Coordinator Chuck Pagano to take the HC job at Indy. He said its hard to leave the Ravens, but it will be a good opportunity. According to Coach Belichick, TE Rob Gronkowski isn’t practicing due to an injury. He’s been walking around in the facility in a walking boot, but the guys have Coach Belichick on the show to explain it a bit more! Tasty waves and bodacious football this weekend in Hawaii! The Pro Bowl comes to Honolulu, are you ready? Are you even interested? Some other things to do this weekend include, but are not limited to: -Watching the Pro Bowl -Changing your oil -Shaving your cat -Sitting on an airplane Take you pick, they all sound equally exciting to the guys!

Peyton Manning finally comes out to the media for one of the first times in the season and steals their attention from his little brother, Eli Manning. The Indianapolis Star released an interview with the benched super star QB for the troubled Colts. Peyton talks new GM Ryan Grigson, the environment at the stadium, and the overall atmosphere and world around Peyton. The guys deliver an update from the Coaching Carousel! The Raiders find their man for the “black hole”– Broncos DC Dennis Allen. The Dolphins also pick up Packers Offensive Coordinator Joe Philbin. Finally, Roger Goodell’s contract is extended through the 2018 season by council of the NFL owners. Consumer alert! Reebok has been dropped and NFL is in. That’s right, they are the official gear provider for the NFL now. This means that players can change their number without paying tons of money, but that also means that if you buy or own a current Reebok jersey, it may not have the same number or even look the same as it has these past years. Hopefully they won’t go as far a the college football teams have…

The stage for Super Bowl 46 has been set! It was a wild weekend in the Divisional Championship round and the guys will recap it for ya! The Patriots pulled ahead of the Ravens late in the game, almost losing to a FG attempt by Billy Cundiff, but sighed a sigh of relief when he missed wide left. 2 plays earlier, Lee Evans missed a potential game winning TD pass when it was stripped out of his hands. In times like that, you need to have a good grip on that ball! Joe Flacco is finally recognized as Mr. Reliable. Congrats! On the other side of the ball, Tom Brady recognizes his “sucking” and the guys couldn’t agree more! Despite his terrible grammar, if he can suck and have his team still win, what does that say about the Patriots organization? The 49ers show that the team is made of individuals and that they are only as strong as their weakest link. Ted Ginn Jr. has been one of the most reliable returning players since joining the NFL 5 years ago when he was a top draft pick. He grew tremendously and the niners could have greatly used him on the field, but instead had to use back up Kyle Williams which arguably cost him them the game. Eli Manning finally has the opprotunity to outshine his bigger brother, Peyton, with another shot at the Super Bowl Bling! After his great performance yesterday, the guys do acknowledge that he is an elite player in the NFL.

Jerome Simpson gets even higher than with his spectacular catch this past season. He was indicted for drug trafficking which is classified as having over 8oz. but under 5lbs, so basically more than personal consumption, but less than Sam Hurd. He will face felony punishment with between 1-5 years in prison. The indictment comes about 4 months after authorities confiscated a package with 2.5 pounds of marijuana that had been shipped from Northern California to his home in Kentucky. Today, the guys have on Ravens NT Terrence Cody! He answers some questions about this weekends game against the New England Patriots regarding double teams, pass rushing, and confidence about their unstoppable offense. Giants VP of Player Evaluation, Chris Mara, has missed his first game in over 40 years. He was absent from this weeks game against the Packers to see his daughter, Rooney Mara, in Hollywood as she was nominated for a best actress award for her star role in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” Someone asked Chris about it and he simply said, “This isn’t exactly a piano recital.” Micro Celebrity of the Day wants to know… about the weather. Sean Wilson asks on Facebook, “With the weather expected to be bad in San Francisco, who will benefit from the poor conditions?” Tune in to find out what the guys think!

The Colts stir up the news again today as they hire a new GM, Former Eagle Ryan Grigson, and he’s already creating a buzz. Owner Jim Irsay supports the move fully and believes the team will be younger and younger as the years go on. Peyton Manning will also be getting this $28M bonus come March 3rd, and the staff is starting to raise some questions. The Ravens win.. but just barely! Because of their less-than-glorious win, they get a less-than-glorious talk from their teammate and team leader, Ed Reed. He goes to say that Joe Flacco didn’t do a great job and needs to be better. “I think Joe was kinda of rattled a little bit by their defense,” Reed said. At least this isn’t coming in as an anonymous statement, but rather from a reputable player on the team. Mindi Bach, the 49ers CSN BayArea reporter, joins the guys. She goes into detail about Alex Smith and the 49ers win this week and also some concerns about the Championship game versus the Giants. The results are in! Based off the poll, 40% of people want to see a Niners/Pats Super Bowl Game this year in Indianapolis.

Today, Jim Caldwell takes the bullet for the near win-less season this past year without Peyton Manning. Everyones favorite billionaire tweeter, Jim Irsay, publishes instructions to see the article, but all the guys get at first is a Colts Cheerleaders photo essay– not that they’re complaining or anything, but after a couple refreshes, the news comes out that the Colts have officially released Jim Caldwell. While maybe not the best choice and a little late for the Jeff Fisher race, some say it will be best for the Colts. St. Louis wins the lottery and ends up with the BMOC Jeff Fisher as their head coach. This is a huge victory for the Rams fans and will hopefully begin to move the Saints in the right direction. Jeff Fisher announced he will bring New Orleans Saints Defensive Coordinator Greg Williams to join him on his conquest next season. Finally, the guys bring you a poll! Which Super Bowl do you want to see? Niners/Ravens, Niners/Patriots, Giants/Patriots, or Giants/Ravens? Go out to NFLRandR.com and go vote for your choice! The guys can’t wait to see what you all think!

Coming back from an explosive Divisional Round weekend, the guys bring you a review and recap of the match-ups! It started off Saturday with the San Francisco 49ers coming up on top over Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. While incredibly dull and long in the middle of the game, the game turned around near the end with 4 lead changes in the last 4 minutes! Brees led a TD run with just over 3 minutes remaining and Alex Smith answered with an similar offensive push ending with a pass to Vernon Davis in the end zone for a 36-32 lead and final score. Later on, the Denver Broncos faced off against the feared New England Patriots, but this time without a typical Broncos-underdog-come-from-behind win. Tom Brady tied the NFL postseason record for TD passes in a single game with a total of 6, five of which were in the first half. The Broncos, led by NFL celeb Tim Tebow, fell to the Patriots by a landslide 45-10. On Sunday, the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens went head to head. Joe Flacco and his defense looks like it could be overtaken and outscored by a solid QB. What the guys are curious about– TJ Yates, why did you feel the need to bomb to ball 50 yards when you were at the 1st and 10 at the BAL 48 with 2 minutes and 2 timeouts remaining. Huh? Mistakes like this may have cost them the game. The Ravens ended up on top, 20-13. For the final face off of the weekend, the New York Giants played the Green Bay Packers. Jeff feels that if the officials had actually been making better calls, it would have been even a bigger blow out. Steven looks back when he said the winner of the Giants/Cowboys would go to the Championship Game and demands an apology from Jeff. Don’t confuse flagellation with flatulation.
