449: YBAB Sports Desk Game of the Year? How About Momumental F**k-Up, Buffalo!

·1 hr 38 min·5 clips

A Commanders fan screams through a nail-biting Eagles game while dissecting Taylor Heinicke's fumble and touchdown.

The episode opens with the hosts live-watching Monday Night Football, where the Washington Commanders are playing the Philadelphia Eagles. They react play-by-play to Taylor Heinicke's fumble and touchdown. The discussion then shifts to Week 10 NFL results, starting with Tom Brady and the Buccaneers' win in Germany, where they argue the team hasn't fixed its offensive issues and should bench Leonard Fournette. A major segment focuses on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers; the hosts passionately dispute the narrative that Rodgers is back, citing statistics that show running backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon carried the offense while Rodgers threw only 20 passes. They express frustration at Rodgers blaming the run game post-victory. The conversation turns to the Buffalo Bills vs. Minnesota Vikings game, dubbed the 'Game of the Year' by some. The hosts analyze Buffalo's late-game mistakes, including a Josh Allen fumble and interception. This leads to a debate about Justin Jefferson's spectacular one-handed catch, with some calling it a top-three all-time catch while others argue it's overhyped compared to catches by Odell Beckham Jr. and David Tyree. Later, they discuss the struggling Denver Broncos and Russell Wilson, noting he was drafted ahead of MLB star Aaron Judge and is playing worse than Joe Flacco. Brief mentions are made of the Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts. The show transitions to wrestling, with Cashly providing updates on WWE's Survivor Series and AEW's Full Gear pay-per-view. She awards Bret Hart the 'Fuck You Forever' award for still holding a grudge against Bill Goldberg. The hosts then discuss the most hated babyfaces in wrestling history, listing names like John Cena, Hulk Hogan, and Bret Hart. Throughout, there are intermittent live updates on the Commanders-Eagles game, including an injury to Antonio Gibson.
