Week 14 in the NFL was absolute madness, packed with statement wins, late-game drama, and major playoff movement.

We break down everything from the Lions lighting up the Cowboys behind Jahmyr Gibbs’ three-TD explosion, to the Broncos winning their 10th straight as Bo Nix continues to impress the league.

The Packers outlasted the Bears to stay atop the NFC North, the Saints found life again with a much-needed win over Tampa, and the Rams steamrolled the Cardinals behind Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua. We also hit the biggest storylines from around the league — QB performances, defensive meltdowns, playoff risers and fallers, and what these results mean with the postseason approaching.

All of these games and more will be broken down on this episode. It is A fast, fiery, all-action recap of everything you need to know from Week 14.

On today’s episode, we break down one of the wildest Championship Weekends college football has ever delivered — and react to the FINAL College Football Playoff bracket that has the entire country talking.

We start with the shocker in the Big Ten, where Indiana stunned Ohio State in a defensive slugfest that crowned the Hoosiers as conference champs and ignited their push toward the No. 1 seed. Then we head to the SEC, where Georgia put on a vintage Kirby Smart masterclass, shutting down Alabama and punching their ticket to another playoff run.

The Big 12 title game saw Texas Tech deliver a statement win over BYU, riding turnovers and a suffocating defense to their first Big 12 Championship in program history. And the drama didn’t stop there—over in the ACC, Duke and Virginia delivered the most emotional game of the weekend, capped off by an overtime walk-off that sent the Blue Devils to the top of the conference for the first time in decades.

Then it’s time for the main event:

🔥 OUR FULL REACTION TO THE FINAL 12-TEAM COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF BRACKET 🔥

We break down the seeding, who deserved a bye, who got snubbed, the best first-round matchups, which teams are most dangerous, and who we think has the clearest path to the national championship.

Big 10 Championship (3:15)
SEC Championship (5:45)
Big 12 Championship (7:31)
ACC Championship (8:34)

On today’s episode, we’re hitting every corner of the culture — from prediction markets to pop culture meltdowns and everything in between. We start with Polymarket and Kalshi, breaking down why prediction markets are exploding right now, how they work, and why everyone from crypto traders to Wall Street analysts is suddenly betting on real-world events.

Then we dive into the Akaash Singh drama, the clips going viral, and the internet debate over whether his wife is making him look bad or whether the whole situation is being blown out of proportion.

Next up: Max Kellerman stops by The Bill Simmons Podcast, and the sports media world reacts. We get into what he said, the state of sports talk, and why his return to long-form conversation hits different.

We also talk about HBO Max streaming Mad Men — and the hilarious little errors fans keep spotting in the newly uploaded episodes.

In Hollywood news, Quentin Tarantino has some unexpectedly harsh words for Paul Dano, and we unpack what that rant says about Tarantino’s standards, Hollywood culture, and ego.

Plus: a raccoon breaks into a liquor store, gets drunk, and is found passed out like a furry rockstar — one of the wildest headlines of the week.

And as always, we wrap with our Question of the Day and a bold Nuclear Opinion that might just start a fight in your group chat.
