The episode kicks off with an exclusive, inside report from one of the hosts, "Bison," who is currently living out a dream at the Washington Nationals fantasy baseball camp. Hear about the full major league treatment—from using the Nationals' spring training facility and clubhouse to getting a pre-game pep talk from the legendary Johnny Bench. Plus, find out how Bison performed in his first live action, driving in the first run of the whole camp, and how he ended up catching most of the game after a teammate got hurt. He even shares a tidbit about having dinner with Ryan Zimmerman.

Bo Nix news and what that means for his team's Super Bowl chances. The focus quickly shifts to the surprising decision by the Buffalo Bills' GM to fire a successful head coach, with the hosts questioning the wisdom of the move and the GM's continued inability to find decent wide receivers for Josh Allen. The crew also gets into an intense debate about Allen, with one host calling him a "turnover machine" and arguing he is not deserving of the "best to never" narrative.

The NFL talk continues with a look at the Bears' unbelievable final drive that tied the game, dissecting the play-calling from Ben Johnson, who was criticized for being too conservative in the red zone. Finally, the show tackles the wild spending in MLB, where they argue the luxury tax structure is now a profit source for owners of low-payroll teams, creating a "sick" situation that is bad for the competitive balance of the sport.

The SMQB team is trying to figure out where the next great coaches will come from. They explore the NFL's constant churn, dubbed the "cycle of hell," where good offensive coordinators are quickly promoted, leaving a vacuum of poor play-callers like the Eagles' recently-fired Patullo. The conversation turns to the current head coach vacancies and the prospects of potential hires like John Harbaugh or a rebound coach like Kevin Stefanski. The question of who the "next Liam Cohen" (a successful coordinator-turned-head coach) might be is top of mind.

The biggest questions, however, are in college football, where the transfer portal has totally reshaped the landscape. The guys discuss the absurdity of the market, including the $6.5 million NIL offer for Ty Simpson, and whether the sport can function with players coming and going every year. They also honor a massive underdog story from the world of soccer that takes the "Ted Lasso Moment" award and find a way to give LeBron James a "full slap" for his latest piece of ridiculousness.

Take a trip down memory lane with the hosts as they look back on the sports stories of 2025 that they believe will be impossible to top. Bison leads with the one that can't be missed: Alex Ovechkin scoring his 895th goal, passing Wayne Gretzky to become the greatest goal scorer of all time. Pope highlights the drama of the World Series, which featured a seven-game series with extra innings and an 18-inning game.

House celebrates two deeply personal moments: winning a Super Bowl with his Eagles in his hometown of New Orleans and his beloved alma mater, Tulane, making the College Football Playoff. The conversation also touches on other significant events, including Rory winning his career Grand Slam with the Masters, the "worst trade ever" (the Luca trade), and the "fall from grace" of Bill Belichick.

The show moves to the biggest shockers in sports from the past year. Rooster highlights the unbelievable fall of quarterback Shadour Sanders from a projected top-three pick to being drafted 144th in the fifth round. The group is also amazed by the drama in other sports, including a three-way finale for the F1 driver championship and the rising rivalry of Alcaraz and Sinner in three major tennis matches.
