Superstitions, Steelers vs. Ravens Blame, and the Trevon Diggs Exit

Kenny Thomas kicks off the first show after the new year by lamenting his 4th place in fantasy football and answering producer Kalina Scollon's questions about his pre-game superstitions as a pro player . Then, Buck Barnett joins the studio to break down the "last night" regular-season finale between the Steelers and Ravens. They debate where the blame truly lies for the Ravens' narrow loss—specifically looking at that missed game-ending field goal—and compare the roles of offensive and defensive coordinators in basketball versus football. The crew also reacts to Trevon Diggs being waived by the Cowboys and claimed by the Packers, before giving their picks for the first round of the playoffs. To close, they tackle the "out of hand" state of college sports and whether the NCAA should expand the playoffs even further.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
