We Got Spirit, Yes We Do

We Got Spirit, Yes We Do

The trio kicks things off with an unexpected debate on Disney princesses before diving headfirst into all things NFL. They dust off their preseason predictions from back in August, revisiting division winners, prop bets, and even their Super Bowl picks. Let’s just say…plenty did not age well. From there, it’s a full breakdown of Wild Card Weekend as the guys revisit all six games with their biggest takeaways, then roll straight into previews and picks for each of the four Divisional Round matchups.

But it’s not just the NFL. The crew also breaks down the CFP Championship and locks in their picks for the title game. Then it’s on to Nailed It, with only two weeks left for listeners to qualify for the Super Bowl Finale and a shot at a free Masters Weekend trip to Vegas.

Next up is Hot Takes. Pat gets fired up about the upcoming Winter Olympics and even introduces a few new events to watch, including something called ski mountaineering. Bill can’t hide his excitement over the Brooks Koepka news and his return to the PGA Tour. And Bierman goes full tilt on the NFL for restricting season ticket holders from reselling their tickets when opportunity knocks.

They wrap things up with a fun Top 5, ranking their favorite villains in entertainment history. Names like Keyser Söze, Hannibal Lecter, and 24’s Nina Myers make the list, along with many other iconic baddies.

It’s a supersized, fast-moving episode packed with sports, opinions, and plenty of classic Sandman detours along the way. Settle in, hit play, and enjoy the ride.
