Mike and Lucy are still yelling at each other about the University of Miami's merits for the College Football Playoff, and it's time for their closing arguments. How much does recency bias factor in? Is Miami's best win over a 7-5 team? Should Alabama AND South Carolina be out? Do you know ball? Is Syracuse better than 'Bama? DO YOU KNOW BALL? Did you know Syracuse lost to 3-9 Stanford? DO YOU KNOW BALL?!?!?!?!?! Then, it's time for Stugotz's Weekend Observations tackling Andy Reid, the Bears good loss and Lions bad win, LeBron James, Wink Martindale, the grocery store bar, Mike McDaniel, and the Top 5 Athlete Names If They Were Authors.

Chapter 1: Why are Mike and Lucy arguing about Miami's playoff chances?
The benching is a wake-up call.
But I'm saying it looked like he was going to get waved, though. It looked like they were going to trade him. It looked like it was over in Carolina. It did.
And now it looks like the rare occasion in which they actually managed the situation the right way, which is not something that they've done with that position since Tepper got there. By getting into a car accident.
Bryce Young should pay for all the things that happened to Dalton during that accident, right? That's correct. If there were tickets, hospital bills, whatever you need, right? Yes, yes.
And a jar of Levine.
Agreed, agreed. Bryce Young should absolutely pay for all his meals, everything, for saving his career during this time after the car accident.
Mysteriously, Bryce Young happens to know the guy in the other car that hit Andy Dalton. Is that so? He created the accident. No, it is. This was all planned. Yeah. I have inside info. Inside dope.
Speaking of, a tip of the cap. Damn, we lost one. Let's tip a cap for Luke Cardaseca. I mean, Luke Karnaseka passed away. One of the great coaches in college basketball history.
Chris Cody was just looking at us. Who is that? It's a former St. John's coach who was famous for wearing sweaters. Back then, college basketball mattered because the players played there for four years.

Chapter 2: What are the criteria for College Football Playoff selection?
Well, no, but he quit the Jets and then he came crawling right back a year later.
So you're going to pull that move? I'm thinking about quitting.
where you gonna go buffalo maybe seems like a good time i will say that somehow quietly like this was something that i don't believe has gotten nearly enough to attention nationally mike ryan renounced what was a life long allegiance to the cleveland browns over a decision they made that turns out to be one of the most calamitous however it is you define terrible decisions in the history of sports
Mike Ryan checked out and was accused of being a virtue signaler, and we all questioned whether or not it would be real. Mike Ryan has ceased caring about the Browns in a real way over the decision they made, and I have not seen that happen in fandom a great deal. It's not an act. He's not faking it. He cared about that team.
As much as he's cared about any of these Heat teams and University of Miami teams. That was his team. Mike and I used to talk about the Cleveland Browns all the time. Look, his team embedded from this place. I remember some of the fandoms that I had in childhood, like what the toys were.
He remembers through his grandmother going to a store, a dollar store, and Cleveland Browns played, and it starts there. The love of sports starts there. That was his allegiance to the team. They make a decision, and he finds it so repugnant that he just bails. And we all thought, listening to it, this must be an act. It must be performative. He gave up a lifelong love.
The Cleveland Browns have played two very fun days, two fun games the last couple of weeks. You've felt how about all of this? Like this spark has never returned. It's died, smothered, and there hasn't been anything to resuscitate it?
When they played the Steelers and Nick Chubb scored a touchdown, I was very happy for Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb's one of my favorite sports players.
So some of the players you root for. Ever.

Chapter 7: What teams are being discussed for playoff contention?
I know. Thank you. The Jets didn't score the last 40 minutes of that game. I hate them. When you think it can't get worse, the season from hell continues, Dan. Speaking of hell, our priles. Dan, those are the weekend observations. That was a quick dismount because I'm just so tired of the Jets. I'm tired of talking about them. I'm thinking about bailing on the Jets for the first time in my life.
I'm thinking about a new team. The old Fireman Ed? Well, that's the problem, Billy. The biggest story every year is some riff that Fireman Ed has.
Well, no, but he quit the Jets and then he came crawling right back a year later.
So you're going to pull that move? I'm thinking about quitting.
