b"It's a 'wild' and crazy podcast as NFL Super Wild Card Weekend was a lot more than what I expected. Here to break it all down and everything else that's happening in sports as the latest edition has arrived. On deck: (3:19) Who would've thought that out of the five games over the NFL Super Wild Card Weekend, that four of them would go almost to the wire? That's what we got as I'll delve into all that took place in each of the five games played over the last couple of days. The Seahawks hung tough for two and a a half quarters, but the 49ers took over to a 41-23 win. It was another epic Charger meltdown in their playoff history as I detail the brutal postseason defeats in this century, topped by the 27-0 lead over Jacksonville that turned into a 31-30 defeat. The Dolphins surprised up in Buffalo (with a couple of breaks along the way) against a Bills team that I have a theory about and won't be long for this postseason if they play this way. Miami's play calling (as well as the Vikings and Ravens) were the theme of the day as they were clueless on two occasions in this game, which I explain. Is Daniel Jones elite as he pushes his Giants team to victory in Minnesota? And Ravens-Bengals was typical AFC North football as it came down to one bone-headed decision which turned the game around. I'll also get into the final Wild Card matchup between the Cowboys-Buccaneers. Why I'm hoping for Dallas to win? The AFC Title Game is being played in Atlanta? REALLY? Sean McVay stays on board to coach the Rams and a look to the Divisional Round next week. (45:36) Are we going to have to take the Seattle Kraken seriously? They're not only the hottest team in the NHL, but made history along the way with a seven game road trip that were all victorious. The first of its kind ever! I owe an apology to you, the listener, in regards to the All-Star Break and what I stated last week. There's some sad news to report as I'll remember former Canucks tough guy, Gino Odjick, who passed away yesterday at the age of 52. (54:41) The NBA is relatively quiet as I touch on another injury (John Wall) with the Clippers, a throwback to the old Alamodome for the Spurs and Russell Westbrook dribbles out the final seconds without a shot in a loss to the Lakers last night. (56:53) Tennis's first Grand Slam is here as the Australian Open is underway. I'll preview who's back (Novak Djokovic) and who's missing (Carlos Alcaraz, Nick Kyrgios, Naomi Osaka, etc.) with predictions as to who'll win to kick off the calendar year.
