Season 7, Episode 19 (the Tony Gwynn episode) features Dan Fox, Frank Knight, Cole Markle, and sound man Rich Vassallo kicking things off with MLB hot stove drama—because even in football season, the Mets and Phillies can still hijack the conversation. Frank admits he was bummed about the Mets missing on Kyle Tucker, but the mood flips fast when the Mets swoop in overnight and land Bo Bichette, stunning Phillies fans who thought they had him locked up. The crew breaks down why the Phillies’ roster fit was questionable (Turner at short, Bohm at third, Stott at second, and Bichette not wanting to play second), why Mets Nation is celebrating anyway, and why the best part of the deal—at least from Frank’s perspective—is keeping Bichette out of Philadelphia.

The Tucker deal also gets a blunt reality check. Dan questions the value of a $60M-per-year contract for a player who’s never finished Top 10 in MVP voting, and the conversation turns into a broader rant about the Dodgers’ financial advantage and how the luxury tax has become its own competitive weapon. Cole adds some generational perspective—baseball isn’t the cultural default the way it used to be—and the group gets nostalgic about growing up with baseball, kickball, and “how do kids not know the rules anymore?”

From there, it’s a quick detour into hockey misery (Rangers turmoil and Flyers–Penguins pain), before the show transitions into a full Fox Brothers Alarms segment: the “bomb shelter” basement studio shout-out, the core value statement, services offered, and how to contact the company—plus a plug for the podcast Facebook page and the email inbox. A notable milestone: Rich reports that downloads have jumped from double digits into triple digits, and nobody is quite sure why—but the crew is happy to take the win.

Then the episode shifts into the main event: Super Wild Card Weekend recap.

• Rams vs. Panthers (Rams 34, Panthers 31): a tight game despite the 10.5-point spread, featuring a scorching start from Stafford, a cold stretch that nearly flipped the outcome, and a late reconnection with Puka Nacua to close it out. Dan shares a party story involving a furious Rams fan melting down while his wife tries to keep things kid-friendly.
• Packers vs. Bears: Green Bay jumps out 21–0, then Chicago claws back and takes control late. The crew debates whether Chicago’s QB is magic or chaos—highlighting a “triple coverage” throw that felt more like a prayer than precision, plus the wildly inconsistent accuracy that makes him both dangerous and confusing. The Bears’ fan energy (including the cheese-grater celebration) gets a big laugh, and the group admits Chicago’s current run is weirdly fun to watch.

The show ends mid-transition into Bills vs. Jaguars—setting up the next stretch of Wild Card breakdowns and more playoff chaos to come.

Season 7, Episode 18 opens with Dan Fox and Frank Knight setting the stage for a jam-packed football conversation—starting with the College Football National Championship semifinal thriller: Miami vs. Ole Miss. The guys break down the controversial final sequence, where a clear jersey-grab in the end zone goes unflagged on Ole Miss’s last-gasp shot. But the real debate isn’t just “PI or not”—it’s whether the national media even understands the college rule. Dan and Frank explain why it’s not an NFL-style spot foul, and how the correct enforcement would have created one untimed play from a much less automatic scoring position, changing the entire narrative of “Ole Miss got robbed.”

From there, the conversation widens to the bigger tournament picture—discipline vs. talent, Indiana’s veteran-heavy roster, Oregon’s flashy NIL-machine identity, and how quarterback play (as always) will decide who survives to the title game. Along the way, the crew also hits the strange subplot of Lane Kiffin benefiting financially from Ole Miss’s playoff wins… even after leaving for LSU—fueling a hilarious (and slightly cynical) bonus-driven coaching conversation.

Then the show pivots to the NFL’s biggest headline: eight head coaching openings—and the chaos that could still be coming. The guys go team-by-team and rank the openings by desirability, weighing cap space, roster strength, quarterback realities, ownership dysfunction, division difficulty, and the hidden trap of “you’re stuck with this contract whether you like it or not.” Key debates include:

• Why Arizona looks like the toughest rebuild due to Kyler Murray’s guaranteed money and roster constraints.
• Why Las Vegas feels unstable despite star power (Crosby, elite TE, high draft position), and why firing Pete Carroll after one year is viewed as organizational malpractice.
• Why Tennessee’s cap space and defensive building blocks make it more salvageable than it looks—even if the QB outlook isn’t exciting.
• Why Miami and Atlanta are “same problem, different logo”: talent exists, but the quarterback situation (and contracts) can sink the plan.
• Why Cleveland’s Watson shadow still poisons the well, and why the Shaduer Sanders hype doesn’t add up yet.
• Why the Giants may be closer than people think—if Jackson Dart develops and the right coach stabilizes the culture.
• Why Baltimore remains the crown jewel opening on paper… but comes with real questions about locker-room tension, roster evolution, and whether Lamar’s “missing step” was age, injury, or something else.

The episode closes with coaching rumor smoke: Harbaugh chatter, the Giants’ power-structure possibilities, why Stefanski might be a perfect reset hire for New York, and why Washington’s coordinator shakeup could be a warning sign for what comes next under Dan Quinn.

Season 7, Episode 17 kicks off with Dan Fox and Frank Knight ringing in the New Year with a special guest appearance from Tyler, plus the usual basement-studio banter and word-policing: it’s “Happy New Year,” not “Happy New Year’s,” and Frank is prepared to die on that hill. With Allen Action Jackson out for the night, the crew leans into a lighter opening, Raiders misery, owner jokes, and a quick check-in on the Colts’ season collapse, including how offensive line injuries can turn a contender into a cautionary tale.

From there, Frank unveils a mini trivia game that instantly becomes an on-air struggle for Dan, until Tyler and Brian (in the background) step in as lifelines. Highlights include the revelation that there are seven NFL officials on the field, old-school quarterback history featuring Terry Bradshaw, a “slow 40-yard dash” trick question that lands on Tom Brady, and the ultimate completions milestone: Brett Favre as the lone member of the 6,000-completion club. The group caps trivia with a bonus stumper: which current head coach rushed for more yards than Bo Jackson? (Jim Harbaugh—quarterback legs count too.)

Then the show turns serious with a full recap of Week 17, starting with the Christmas Day slate and rolling through the weekend’s games, playoff implications, and draft-position drama:

Key Week 17 takeaways:

• Cowboys over Washington (30–23), a win Dan will take, even if it doesn’t prove much.
• Vikings shock Lions (23–10), officially knocking Detroit out of playoff contention and forcing a full offseason reset.
• Broncos handle the broken Chiefs (20–13), but Dan remains skeptical that Bo Nix can carry them beyond the AFC Championship tier.
• Texans over Chargers (20–16), another defensive showcase that reinforces Houston as a legitimate January problem.
• Browns upset Steelers (13–6) in a game that exposed Pittsburgh’s offensive limitations—especially without DK Metcalf.
• Patriots crush Jets (42–10), as New England continues to look like a real contender.
• Saints beat Titans (34–26), with New Orleans’ quarterback trendline still pointing up.
• Jaguars stay hot at Colts (23–17), while Indy’s year continues to unravel.
• Dolphins upset Bucs (20–17), leading to a blunt discussion of Todd Bowles and Tampa’s lack of consistency.
• Seahawks take care of Panthers (27–10), with the group agreeing Seattle’s ceiling depends entirely on whether “Bad Sam Darnold” shows up at the wrong moment.
• Bengals torch Cardinals (37–14), followed by more pointed commentary on Joe Burrow’s public frustration and what responsibility looks like when you’re the face of the franchise.
• Giants destroy Raiders (34–10) in the “draft-position bowl,” flipping the spotlight to how teams behave when the No. 1 pick is on the line—and how ugly it can look in real time.
• Eagles edge Bills (13–12) in a messy, rain-soaked game that felt like a potential Super Bowl preview.
• 49ers survive Bears in a late shootout, with Chicago nearly stealing it on the final play.

As always, the episode balances serious football analysis with the crew’s trademark sarcasm, plus a running thread of frustration about teams that look like they’re “managing outcomes” late in the season, whether for seeding, health, or draft position.
