Episode 122 -  This episode starts with ten takeaways from Week 15 in the NFL.  Brady and Bill both take devastating losses, Dak is a fraud, the Bills and Dolphins are good, and is Aaron Rodgers back?  Also, Zach Wilson had the worst 300 yard performance ever, it may be too late to salvage his career as a Jet, but hopefully it's not too late to salvage the Jets season on Thursday night vs the red hot Jags. As the Jets fold I turn my attention to the reinvented Knicks, winners of 8 of the...
