The guys come back from the Christmas Holidays and are ready for some serious Week 17 action. In the news, Steven does not like what Giants RB Brandon Jacobs had to say to Jets head coach Rex Ryan after the Jets/Giants game. Steven feels it was disrespectful, no matter how or why it was said. Jeff feels that Aaron Rodgers is ready to be MVP after throwing for 5 touchdown passes against the Bears, but Steven says Drew Brees might have something to say about that.
With all of the great games in Week 16, Steven says he happy about how the season has played out, but sad that it is almost over. The guys talk about the greatest TD of all time in where Bengals WR Jerome Simpson vaulted into the end zone over the Cardinals LB Washington to score a TD and stuck the landing ala Mary Lou Retton. The guys are disappointed that the Chargers laid an egg in Detroit, but are happy for the Lions making the playoffs. Steven says that either feline team in the post-season, be it Lions or Bengals will pose a threat to whomever they face.
Finally, Steven says that somehow the Challenge Games were fixed this year, as there were too many close games that killed him in the end, like the Colts beating the Texans in the final seconds of the game.
