·39 min·3 clips

Gino Auriemma and Dawn Staley's contentious exchange sparks a deep dive into NFL coaches' infamous post-game handshake dramas.

The episode opens with a discussion of a heated women's college basketball exchange between Gino Auriemma and Dawn Staley, which transitions into a segment on NFL coaches' contentious post-game handshakes. The hosts review several notable incidents, including Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur's impersonal blow-by in 2023. They highlight the 2012 Ravens-Steelers game where John Harbaugh physically pulled back Mike Tomlin for a confrontation. The 2011 Jim Schwartz-Jim Harbaugh altercation is recalled, with Schwartz chasing Harbaugh after a profane handshake. Todd Haley's finger-point denial of Josh McDaniels' handshake in 2009 is shown, followed by their hug weeks later. The segment peaks with Chuck Noll's 1987 finger-wag lecture to Jerry Glanville, described as a near-fight with a vice grip. The show then shifts to a snake draft for Netflix's 'Quarterback' season 3, where hosts pick quarterbacks they find most watchable. Willie Colon selects Jalen Hurts first, citing a pivotal contract year. Isaiah Standback picks Daniel Jones for his comeback story. Sarah Walsh chooses Kyler Murray for his misunderstood narrative. Kyle Brandt takes Caleb Williams for his Chicago potential. Second-round picks include Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Jackson Dart, and Fernando Mendoza. Later rounds feature Dak Prescott, Tua Tagovailoa, Jaden Daniels, Malik Willis, Shedeur Sanders, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, and Bo Nix. Kirk Cousins is interviewed about his move to the Las Vegas Raiders. He discusses entering his 15th season, mentoring rookie Fernando Mendoza, and his offensive fit with coach Clint Kubiak. Cousins addresses his reputation as a 'bag-getter' and conversations with Tom Brady, who FaceTimed him from Miami. He reveals he rekindled his love for football after being benched in Atlanta. Cousins comments on Max Crosby's failed trade and return to the Raiders. The interview closes with Cousins ranking his top five Disney attractions, including Guardians of the Galaxy and Carousel of Progress, and framing the Raiders' season as a Disney movie.
