After a quick travel talk, Rich wants to start today with the “Truth About the Youth” (6:17), and discuss what’s going on with youth sports in America. Max wants to know whether this relates at all to the Jonathan Kuminga situation, especially in light of GM Mike Dunleavy’s latest comments. Next, how do the guys feel about MLB possibly implementing a salary cap in baseball (32:13), and why is Max’s reaction to the College Football Playoff like his “fourth favorite song” (44:23)?

Game Over begins its Netflix era! After an ode to 'Sesame Street' off the top, Max and Rich start off with what they thought the big difference was between the 49ers and Eagles in San Francisco's win (5:32). Then, who really gets the blame and who really deserves the credit in the Bears' wild win over the Packers (11:03)? As the playoffs progress, Max wants you to stop and think about what it would mean for each of the remaining QBs if they were to win the Super Bowl (24:48). Next, the pair goes around the NBA (36:30) as they discuss Anthony Davis’s injury and what it means for the Mavericks, an interesting name that the Lakers might want to think about in trade talks, and the mentality of current players vs. those in the past. They close with a look at tonight’s final wild-card game, but not without a brief detour on fashion!
