Segment 1: NFL Scouting Combine – The Meat Market is Open

It’s that time of year again when NFL coaches, GMs, and agents descend on Indianapolis like vultures on a fresh roadkill. The Scouting Combine is in full swing, and we’ve got a parade of college kids trying to prove they can run, jump, and bench press their way into a fat contract.

• Shedeur Sanders is keeping his cleats clean—he’s not working out. Maybe he figures he's already got enough game tape to impress, or maybe he just didn’t want to risk pulling a hammy before cashing in.
• Travis Hunter is doing defensive drills only. Smart move? Or should he flex his WR skills too?
• Cam Ward—what’s his deal? Is he a first-rounder, or is he about to take a freefall like a stock after a bad earnings report?

Meanwhile, drama is bubbling over in the NFL like a pot of day-old chili:

• Jets players are pissed about Aaron Rodgers ghosting them. Quinnen Williams is especially salty. Maybe they should’ve seen this coming—Rodgers disappearing isn’t exactly new.
• The Franchise Tag Window is open until March 4th, meaning teams have about a week to decide who’s getting locked in like an ex who won’t take the hint.
• Free Agency starts March 10th—who’s cashing out? Rumors are flying that the Colts may have an open QB competition. Also, is Anthony Richardson in hot water?
• Cleveland’s GM just laughed in everyone’s face when asked about a Myles Garrett trade. That man isn’t going anywhere.
• The Philadelphia Eagles are making headlines for two reasons:
  1. At least one player is saying "no thanks" to a White House visit.
  2. The NFL is considering banning the "Tush Push." Yep, the league is tired of Philly basically running a rugby scrum on every third-and-one.

This segment is brought to you by Jan-Pro SWFL – Frank Papasodero. If you need your office cleaned up as well as the Jets need their locker room drama cleaned out, call Frank.

Segment 2: College Football Playoff & March Madness – The Playoff Drama Never Ends

The College Football Playoff Committee is meeting up to discuss some big changes, and, just like your uncle arguing politics at Thanksgiving, things are getting heated.

• The big idea? Instead of giving byes to the top-ranked conference champs, they might just go with the top four teams, period. Translation: If your conference is weak, tough luck.
• The 2026 playoff structure is starting to take shape, and surprise, surprise—it’s leaning toward a 14-team format that heavily favors the SEC and Big Ten. Shocker.

Meanwhile, college basketball is gearing up for the madness:

• Selection Sunday is creeping up (March 16), and the tournament picture is clearing up like a windshield after a fresh Rain-X coat.
• 30 teams are locked in, nine teams are sitting pretty, and 22 teams are in the danger zone, praying they don’t choke in these final weeks.
• Notable teams boosting their résumés this week: Indiana, North Carolina, Georgia, Cincinnati, and San Diego State are all stacking up wins like a college kid stacks overdue bills.

🔹 Must-Watch Games This Week

• #1 Auburn vs. #17 Kentucky – The Tigers are rolling, but can Kentucky play spoiler?
