Overhauling the NFL Playoff Schedule & a US Soccer Soap Opera

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by discussing a report suggesting that the NFL is considering overhauling the entire playoff schedule to ensure that the Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game gets rescheduled. In this scenario, Bills-Bengals would be played in Week 19 alongside the NFC Wild Card round while the rest of the AFC get a bye week. The following week, the NFC would take a bye while the AFC play its Wild Card round. A scenario like this would have massive long-term implications as teams like the Philadelphia Eagles (Jalen Hurts), San Francisco 49ers (Deebo Samuel), Los Angeles Chargers (Joey Bosa) and Baltimore Ravens (Lamar Jackson) could potentially get extra time to get their stars healthy. This is definitely something to keep an eye on. Later, our fearless leaders shares his thoughts on a wild story coming out of US Soccer surrounding coach Gregg Berhalter. The parents of disgruntled star Gio Reyna tried to get Berhalter booted from the club by leaking information related to a domestic violence incident from over 30 years ago. We all understand wanting to protect your children at all costs but this is borderline psychotic behavior by the Reyna's. All signs point to Berhalter keeping his job after this whole ordeal but it's still a bad sign when the family of one of America's brightest young soccer stars is trying to stage a coup against the coach.
