Parity is King: Record Lead Changes & Justin Herbert’s Crushed Soul

from Le Batard & Friends Network · host Dan Le Batard

We've been saying it all year, "Parity is King!" We just the saw highest number of fourth-quarter lead changes ever witnessed in a single NFL postseason. We learned a ton. Matt Stafford is a gunslinger. Carolina should sign Bryce Young to a Sam Darnold like contract. Ben Johnson's rivalry with Matt LeFleur and Green Bay is good for the game. Josh Allen's tush is pushier than Jalen Hurts. The 49ers are dead in the water without George Kittle. Drake Maye and Company got their stinker out of the way--and crushed Justin Herbert's soul in the process. Dave Dameshek and former NFL lineman Geoff Schwartz review the game-tape and let you know what you need as the playoffs continue on Football America!

BALDERDAWGS Several John Doe's Old high school friends decide to come back together after 30 years to create a Podcast. Bad idea? Explicit FONTECUPA. Il mistero di Serena Mollicone Lucky Red Fontecupa. Il mistero di Serena Mollicone è un'inchiesta che ricostruisce il celebre caso di Serena Mollicone, la diciottenne di Arce (Frosinone) ritrovata cadavere in un bosco nei pressi di Fontana Liri il 1° giugno 2001, due giorni dopo la sua scomparsa. Dopo un inizio incerto, le indagini vengono affidate all'Unità Analisi Crimini Violenti, un organismo specializzato della Polizia di Stato, che individua il responsabile in un carrozziere del posto, Carmine Belli. Durante il processo però l'atto di accusa si rivela inconsistente, e il malcapitato carrozziere viene assolto. Nel frattempo nella caserma di Arce giunge un nuovo comandante, il maresciallo Evangelista, che, insospettito dal comportamento ambiguo di alcuni dei suoi sottoposti, già in forza nel 2001, riapre le indagini. Evangelista si convince che il delitto si sia consumato proprio all'interno della caserma, in cui la ragazza si sarebbe recata il giorno della sua scomparsa...
