Inevitable Change — Mahomes Down, Packers Tested & Knicks Win NBA Cup

Episode 15 of In My Defense is titled “Inevitable Change” because sports don’t care about plans — it forces you to adjust.Canty and Que open with life and family as Canty prepares for fatherhood, then jump into hoops with the New York Knicks winning the NBA Cup, and why raising a banner for it is doing too much. Canty breaks down what he saw from Wemby, Knicks depth, and why Mike Brown’s approach matters long-term.Then it’s straight to the NFL, where the injury wave hit hard. Patrick Mahomes goes down, and Canty calls it franchise malpractice: too many hits, too many drops, and not enough protection for a $500M asset. The guys also unpack what Micah Parsons’ injury means for the Packers — and why Green Bay can’t move the goalposts after trading the future for “right now.”They roll into 99 Problems with Week 16 picks:Philadelphia Eagles (9-5) vs Washington Commanders (4-10) — Saturday,12/20 @5:00pmGreen Bay Packers (9-4-1-) vs. Chicago Bears (10-4) — Saturday,12/20 @8:20pmNew England Patriots (11-3) vs. Baltimore Ravens (7-7) (Sunday Night Football) @8:20pmSan Francisco 49ers (10-4) vs. Indianapolis Colts (8-6) (Monday Night Football) @8:15pmA bonus game spotlight (Jaguars vs Broncos), and an honest conversation about Joe Burrow’s joy, Cincinnati’s future, and what happens when a winner has to live in struggle.Finally, it’s Wins & Losses — from subscriber milestones to “Uncle Phil” Rivers gaming the system, plus a real rant on the injury epidemic across the league.Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday🔗 www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@InMyDefensePod/?sub_confirmation=1🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Amazon Music.📺 Watch full episodes on YouTubeFollow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1From sports and culture to business and everyday life, Chris and Que bring bold opinions, thoughtful analysis, and honest conversation, always with humor, heart, and real talk.In My Defense – Episode: Knicks NBA Cup, Mahomes Injury & NFL Week 11 Fallout00:00 Start01:09 Canty baby prep – Que offers advice03:11 Knicks win the NBA Cup vs Spurs03:43 Canty reacts to the NBA Cup Championship game06:59 Knicks won’t raise a banner – Canty weighs in09:39 Spurs future outlook – What Canty sees long term11:55 NFL Week 11 injury bug – Mahomes and Micah Parsons go down12:20 Canty on how Mahomes’ injury impacts the Chiefs16:56 Chiefs outlook – Rebuild, not tank, until Mahomes returns18:43 Packers reset after losing Parsons for the season21:40 99 Problems segment begins21:54 Eagles (9-5) vs Commanders (4-10) – Saturday 5:00 PM23:37 Packers (9-4-1) vs Bears (10-4) – Saturday 8:20 PM24:56 Patriots (11-3) vs Ravens (7-7) – Sunday Night Football25:44 49ers (10-4) vs Colts (8-6) – Monday Night Football26:37 Canty’s bonus game – Jaguars vs Broncos26:41 Are the Jaguars for real?28:25 Joe Burrow comments – Is the game still fun?29:16 Is Burrow struggling to process losing seasons?32:02 Canty doesn’t see Burrow walking away early like Megatron or Barry Sanders34:17 Que asks Canty when he knew it was time to hang it up36:03 Wins & Losses segment begins36:05 Canty’s Win – Philip Rivers gaming the system37:19 Que’s Win – In My Defense hits 500 subscribers38:03 Canty’s Loss – Carolina Panthers struggles39:13 Que’s Loss – NFL training staffs under fire40:16 Outro🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday 🔗 www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod 📺 Subscribe: youtube.com/@InMyDefensePodFollow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1 Hosted on Acast.
