  • The Franchise | NFL Tag Window Opens, NBA MVP Chaos & 5 NBA Finals Contenders

    The Franchise | NFL Tag Window Opens, NBA MVP Chaos & 5 NBA Finals Contenders
    Feb 27 2026

    Episode 25 of In My Defense is titled “The Franchise.” We start with the NFL’s most controversial power tool: the franchise tag. Between February 17 and March 3 (4 p.m. ET deadline), teams can tag pending unrestricted free agents, locking them in for one year at a top-five salary average. Is it smart business… or suppressed leverage? Canty and Que break down what it really feels like to be tagged and why players hate it.


    Franchise Tag Talk

    • Why does no player want it
    • Risk vs reward
    • Breece Hall, George Pickens, Kyle Pitts implications
    • Why the tag isn’t going anywhere


    NBA MVP Race (Late Feb 2026)

    • It’s a four-person sprint: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC) | Nikola Jokic (DEN) | Cade Cunningham (DET) | Victor Wembanyama (SAS). Que has a Dark horse that everyone needs to start mentioning!
    • The 65-game eligibility rule could decide the race. If availability is value… who really deserves it?


    5 Teams That Can Win the NBA Finals

    1. Boston Celtics
    2. San Antonio Spurs
    3. Oklahoma City Thunder
    4. Detroit Pistons
    5. Cleveland Cavaliers


    Plus: DMV nightmares, James Harden unlocking Jarrett Allen, and Wins & Losses.


    Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.

  • Chess Not Checkers | Seahawks Win Super Bowl 60, Best QB Draft Class Debates, SB 61 Contenders

    Chess Not Checkers | Seahawks Win Super Bowl 60, Best QB Draft Class Debates, SB 61 Contenders
    Feb 13 2026

    Episode 23 of In My Defense is titled “Chess Not Checkers” — because Super Bowl 60 was a straight-up coaching clinic.

    Canty & Que start with Valentine’s Day plans (first Valentine’s as a dad!) and how the hosts are balancing love, life, and fatherhood — then it’s right into the league’s biggest stage.


    Super Bowl 60 Recap

    The Seattle Seahawks are champs after a 29–13 win over New England, and Canty explains why the game wasn’t “boring” — it was strategy. Mike McDonald broke tendencies, brought pressure Seattle normally doesn’t, and the Seahawks defense controlled the entire script.


    Draft Class Debates

    • If you’re starting a franchise today, which QB from the 2024 draft class are you building around?
    • Re-ranking the 2018 QB class now that Sam Darnold has a ring, and what that changes about the legacy conversation.


    Looking Ahead

    • Canty gives his Top 5 teams that can make Super Bowl 61, plus one sleeper that’s “one move away.”


    Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.

  • Overqualified | Bill Belichick Snubbed, Giannis Trade Rumors & MVP Debates

    Overqualified | Bill Belichick Snubbed, Giannis Trade Rumors & MVP Debates
    Jan 30 2026

    Episode 21 of In My Defense is titled “Overqualified” because sometimes being the greatest still isn’t enough.


    Canty and Que open with the shocking news that Bill Belichick was not inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the first ballot, despite six Super Bowl titles, decades of dominance, and reshaping modern football. Canty explains why this feels less like accountability and more like Hall of Fame politics, and why history can’t be told without Belichick’s name.


    Then the conversation shifts to the NBA, where Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors are heating up as Milwaukee spirals. The guys break down why the Bucks have no leverage, which teams make sense, and whether Minnesota, New York, or another contender should push all their chips in.


    Other topics include:

    • Shedeur Sanders making the Pro Bowl — business move or real validation?

    • Patriots vs Seahawks — Super Bowl storyline déjà vu

    • Coach of the Year & MVP predictions

    • What “overqualified” really means in sports and legacy conversations

    Jan 9 2026

    Episode 18 of In My Defense is titled “Special Delivery” — because the biggest win of the week didn’t happen on the field… it happened at home.


    Que opens with the big announcement: Canty and Mel welcomed Baby Canty, and Que gives Canty real fatherhood talk — the job you can’t get fired from, the pressure you won’t get praised for, and the consistency that makes the difference.


    Then it’s straight into 99 Problems, breaking down Wild Card Weekend:

    • Rams vs Panthers — Can Stafford avoid the turnovers, or does Bryce Young run it back?
    • Packers vs Bears — offense vs takeaway defense, and why Jordan Love has to be elite
    • Bills vs Jaguars — legacy game for Josh Allen with “none of the kings” in the way
    • 49ers vs Eagles — attrition football, trenches decide everything
    • Chargers vs Patriots — Herbert vs Drake May, and the “sacks watch” matchup
    • Steelers vs Texans — why Houston’s defense is built for this moment


    They close with Wins & Losses, including Que’s loss for the week (Ravens heartbreak) and the biggest win of all: Canty becoming a father.
