Today is Monday, March 3rd, and we had our first domino in the QB shuffle.
Matthew Stafford is staying in Los Angeles with the Rams today. Ski trip didn't work out for Tom Brady. Ski trip did not work out. Well, it did work out for the rest of us because we got a reporter fight out of it. But yes, Matthew Stafford staying with the Rams, which I always thought made the most sense because...
The Rams were, you could make the argument, they played the Eagles the toughest in the playoffs. They almost won that game in the first quarter. And they had a really bad start to the season, but then they played great down the stretch. It feels like they still have a window with Matthew Stafford. I think it's a two-year deal.
I was listening to Kelly Stafford's podcast. And by listen to, I mean just anticipating what she would say. My guess is she probably didn't want to leave L.A. I would say so.
And why would you, if you're Matthew Stafford, it never made sense, want to go to the Giants? No offense to the Giants, but the Giants aren't going to win a Super Bowl. The Rams could conceivably, in the next two years, compete for a Super Bowl. It would be crazy to leave that situation. So, yeah, he's set. And now it's a question of where Aaron Rodgers will go.
Giants. Raiders. I've heard that he's trying to bring Devontae with him again. Yep. So he has a wish list. And I feel like if I were Aaron, I would just want to stay in New York and just go to the other locker room.
Yeah. Run it back. Get those solar panels on your house in New Jersey. Finally, get them fully installed.
Stretch your legs. Lay down roots there.
Yeah, and then it feels like the Raiders might be in the Sam Darnold market from what everyone is saying.

Chapter 2: What sparked a debate in the group chat?
Yeah.
Have fun with Fat Debo. All right. Okay, Max. Come on.
You're the heaviest favorite on this podcast.
I'm not a favorite. I'm just heavy.
Obese.
Obese. You're an obese. That was from the Yak chat.
Yeah, the case race. Obese. I do love watching Debo when he has the ball in his hands. I don't know if you can call Debo like a number two receiver. I feel like he's a Swiss Army slot. He's just maximum violence. Maximum violence.
That's what I want.
He seeks violence. And you know what? He's a good blocker, too. That's very important. Bubble screen merchant.

Chapter 3: How does the NFL Combine impact player evaluation?
Xavier should be in. Xavier's been playing hot. It will all work out. It will all work out. Yeah, look, they have Xavier in as a first four. Nova, next four out. I need Max to get all the way back in on Nova. I really need it. They got the talent. By the way, congratulations, PFT, on winning the Sun Belt.
Well, I mean, yeah, regular season. Pretty good. The second half of the season was a lot better than the first. Yeah. Looks like Stradlin's got the boys rolling. But now we have the Sun Belt tournament, which is insane.
Insane.
The format of the tournament is the better you are in the regular season, that determines how many buys you get. So the one seed and the two seed get an automatic buy all the way to the semifinals. So if you're the last seeded team, you have to win like seven games in a row against a bunch of teams that are fresh.
Yeah, it's going to be an awesome tournament. Also, congrats to South Alabama, Arkansas State, and Troy for winning the Sun Belt. It was funny watching all four teams. 30% of the league won.
See, I don't celebrate co-championships for my conference, unlike you.
Well, I mean, four is a very funny visual. It is.
It's a very funny visual. I just didn't take my shirt off and paint my chest. You also took your shirt off.
When? When we went to the Wisconsin game. I got caught up. Yeah, what are you talking about? I got caught up in Bucky Fever. You were right next to me doing the same thing. I know. I just thought it was funny. 30% is very funny. It was watching all of them post it. It's like, that's pretty cool.

Chapter 4: Why is March significant for sports fans?
You don't think that one? Tardnox? T-A-R-apostrophe-D. Tardnox. You don't like it?
Nah.
I like Tard Knox.
Are you pumped for this, Hank? Very pumped. It's hilarious. The Bill Belichick college story is the gift that keeps on giving. It's like everything that he didn't want to do and didn't seem like he would ever do in the pros, he's just doing all of it.
You know how they always have some behind-the-scenes stuff on the coach, like Matt Eberflus got a haircut last year?
Yeah, that changed everything.
You think we're going to see Bill Belichick hanging out with his girlfriend, like date night? I would say definitely. Date night with Bill and his lady?
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure. I love that. Oh, yeah. Jordan is going to be all over that. Mike Tannenbaum, he's in the front office down there, right? Yeah. I imagine we'll get to see him a lot again. No, Mike Lombardi. Yeah, Lombardi.
