Matt, Chris and Nick discuss the Super Bowl that turned out to be a one-sided affair. Brady and the Bucs take care of business at home. While Mahomes and the Chiefs were unable to score a touchdown. Do you blame this loss on Mahomes or injuries and drops?
A lot of unrelated questions raised in this episode: Who won the Stafford trade, Rams or Lions? Looking forward, are the Bucs prime to make another run with Brady? Has an NBA team won a championship with only won star player? Would you rather be a Cinderella or Contender?

ESYM Episode 15: The League's In Their Hands
Recorded on 1/27/21
Matt, Chris and Nick discuss some recent MLB news in the tri-state area. Yankees continue to make some moves as they compete with the Mets for offseason relevancy.
The Sabres, Devils and Islanders are battling for the 4th seed in the East Division. As the Rangers are just trying to get out of the basement. Although they consistently have a lead, each and every time they blow it in regulation. Thus, getting no points and stacking L’s.
In the NBA, all eyes are on Brooklyn’s Big 3 experiment while they find their chemistry. Luckily for them, most people won’t be graded them until the postseason. Celtics split their last 4 games and finally have Tatum back in the lineup. Again though, we always come back to the same question…Can they make it out of the East? Potential matchups against the Bucks, Heat, 76ers and Nets.
This leads to an interesting tangent; Durant was Robin to Steph Curry’s Batman? Also, last second shot, Curry or Harden?
Knicks upset the Warriors in Golden State but have a let down vs. the Kings. Then, dig themselves a hole in Portland early and fail on their late surge back. However, one bright spot, Quickley scores 21 of his 31 points in the 4th quarter.
Off topic question: Can your team control it’s own destiny or is it up to the players now?

ESYM Episode 14: Super Bowl in Tompa Bay
In the mist of #saveAMC, Matt, Chris and Nick decide to add a fun First segment to the show. Each of the guys have to select a film that best depicts the Giants 2020 season. Which film parallels the Giants 2020 season most?
Shocker, Tom Brady is in the Super Bowl for the 10thtime in his career. Despite throwing 3 INTs in the 2nd half, Brady at the end of the day walks away victorious. This matchup gave us a collection of game-changing plays/decisions throughout this entire game. The Aaron Rodgers INT turned Brady to Miller Hailmary TD right before halftime. Then, the Packers head coach deciding to kick a field goal on 4th & 1 with 2:09 on the clock and 3 timeouts. Which allows the Bucs to pullout a magical play call to seal the game with a Godwin slide. As a result, the Bucs literally slide home becoming the first team in NFL history to host a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Would this be Brady’s best run ever?
Although it’s unlikely, Rodgers made some post game comments implying he may not be with the Packers in the near future. If so, what team is the best landing spot for Rodgers?
The Facebook Live stream was a success however, the Bills @ Chiefs game was a dud. Despite the Bills being up 9-0, the Chiefs retaliate with a 38-6 run of their own. The Bills were unable to finish drives with 6 points and the Chiefs were, that is the simple story of this game. Overall, this season was a success for the Bills. Looking to the future, will the Bills ever be able to get over the hump known as the Chiefs?
The Championship round was better to more than others:
Matt: 0/4
Chris: 2/4
Nick: 4/4
