from The Word Podcast: Sports, News, & Stuff · host The Word Podcast

We're back after a medium hiatus for our first annual "Jones vs. Beans Intrasquad Scrimmage" to get ready for the season.With the NFL divisional round this weekend, we look back on the end of the regular season and give our picks for the weekend schedule.Speaking of NFL, you'll get the official results of our first ever Pigskin Pick'em Challenge, where the loser has to indulge the winner by dining at a restaurant with them that they othewise wouldn't ever go to. For Rich this is Skyline Chili and for James it's basically any "fish fry" based establishment.There's a deep dive into a few of the recent sports gambling scandals (just pick one!) and how this may have an effect on the NIL landscape going forward.And while we are still doing our "Old Men Yell at Cloud" segment, we're also trying to sprinkle in some more positivity to the show this year, so we wrap up with our "New Years Sports Resolutions".
