The Playoffs Should Be Fun | Pat on the Back #33

from Pat on the Back · host Pat O'Connor

The NFL Playoffs are supposed to be fun, so why do we keep letting boring teams and recycled narratives suck the life out of them? This week break down the games through the lens of entertainment, revisit a take that got some backlash last week, lay out keys to the weekend, and explain why some teams might deserve to be gone even if they're "good."Plus: things I'm not buying, coaching rumors that make no sense, and why fans shouldn't have rely on the same handful of teams to enjoy January football. Solo football takes, occasional rants, no guests, no fluff.
