Bluegrass Jesus and the Muscle Hamsters

from Against the Grain

After Bo Nix' ankle mysteriously snapped in half, resident Broncos fan Neil was left no choice but to defend Jarrett Stidham and the mile high crew as they battle Drake "Drake Maye" Maye (or in the words of Neil "Drake-Drake Maye-Maye") and the Patriots of New England. Jacob's hometown squad (the LA Rams) head to Lumen Field to take on the Seattle Seahawks for the NFC title led by arguable MVP Matthew Stafford and the muscle hamsters in the backfield (we're as confused as you are, I promise). KD is doing his best to put the Rockets on his back but who will step up to help him? Amen Thompson? Bluegrass Jesus? Against the Grain legend Tari Eason? We break it down - and we also attempt to make sense of the Eastern Conference, easier said than done. We play a new game that didn't really work, Jackson calls Mike McCarthy fat, Ian prays for a Nebrasketball tournament win come March, and Garret glazes Chipotle legend Curt Cignetti (rightfully so). You don't wanna miss this week's episode of Against the Grain on KTRU 96.1 FM!
