The Chiefs are now officially a dynasty. But where do they rank among the other dynastic NFL champs? Of course, the Chiefs are still adding to their case. While Kyle Shanahan messed up gloriously by electing to take the ball in OT, he still finished ahead of 30 other NFL head coaches.  Finally, the Chiefs celebration turned sour when gun shots rang out at the conclusion of the parade. Chris and Joel discuss where the Chiefs hold some moral responsibility by fostering a drunk fest with over a million in attendance.

The only issue left in the Trump Ballot case is whether the decision will be 9-0 or 8-1. But regardless, the Court was in agreement that political mayhem will ensue if each state were allowed to cast off a presidential candidate. I sense an insurance commercial here somewhere. But one thing is certain – politics tends to follow the circling of the drain approach. Once one state is allowed to throw out the opposing political party’s leading candidate, the others will follow as our presidential elections just continue to circle the drain. Special Counsel Robert Hur found that although there was evidence that Vice President Joe Biden disclosed classified documents illegally, he did not recommend charges as no jury would convict an elderly senile dementia patient. What?!? And finally, the 49’ers square off against the Swifties in the Super Bowl this Sunday. While Chris and Joel both have their childhood teams playing in this game, they apply reason and logic in debating the important issues. For example, will Travis Kelce be distracted if his mom is left out of a million-dollar suite while his girlfriend has an entire entourage in her suite? But Joel predits why and how both teams can win.

If you are sick of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, well, sucks to be you. Because KC is going to the Super Bowl again! The Super Bowl is being played in the Raider's stadium in Las Vegas, which means the Chiefs will be playing a playoff game in Raider's stadium before the Raiders. While KC is on a roll, the 49'ers have the superior team. While KC only has 4 Pro-Bowl players on its active roster, the 49'ers have 9. This game highlights the realities when you start a QB in his prime as compared to a QB on a rookie contract. The 49'ers have a lot more money to play other star players. Trump was found liable for defaming Jean Carroll by claiming she lied in claiming he raped her over twenty years ago. Joel and Chris debate the ramifications if this jury award is allowed to stand. Now, no one on a losing side of a lawsuit can ever speak their mind about that lawsuit. Or, is this outcome explainable by saying it's the Trump effect?

What kind of a fan are you?  Discussing the levels of jerky fans.   A class action suit was brought against NFL on to uphold the anti-trust law by giving exclusive rights to a certain streaming platform. Our wacky case of the week; a man is suing 27 women from a dating site because they bashed him online. Trump is getting sued again for defamation- what a great campaign strategy to stay in the news FREE PRESS. What does “The Deep State”  actually mean? We go over the options.

Donald Trump wants to give closing remarks in his trial. Is his lawyer that stupid? He is also leading the polls going into Iowa.  How will Nikki Haley do after Chris Christie withdrew? NFL Black Monday- Who left, who stayed, and is anyone moving teams? Moving into Playoff week, what are the top matches, and who will be left standing in week 2?    

The coveted Jeffrey Epstein list was released, and ... was well, rather boring.  Joel makes his case for a Trials of the Centuries Hall of Fame.  What trials will be nominated, what is the criteria, and is the induction night going to be black tie?  Will OJ or Johnny Depp attend?   It's an underdog year in the NFL and the playoffs are around the corner. Joel and Chris gives their predictions during Courtroom Quarterback. 

When should Christmas music start playing?  The Colorado Supreme Court removes Trump from ballot, will it stick?  Chris and Joel have their biggest disagreement yet over the insurrection.  And it's all about Football and how it will shake out. 

The Republican Debates are turning into the bully on the playground. Can we just cut off the mics at 60 seconds? The Sackler Family wants to step up in the payoff since Purdue Pharma is in bankruptcy and the government wants to intervene. And what is happening with the College Football Playoff Records when Chris agrees with Ron DeSantis?

It's turkey time! If you are looking for a way to prepare your turkey, Joel offers tips on smoking your turkey to perfection. Speaking of getting smoked, the Chiefs are in trouble. But is it fixable? Joel and Chris debate. Finally, the NCAA is in real legal trouble. Due to their blatant violation of the anti-trust laws, now former players are seeking damages for lost NIL opportunities. And the preliminary numbers are staggering - the NCAA is facing a 4.7 billion dollar judgement. Couldn't have happened to a nice group of people.

The Supreme Court adopted an ethics code. Don't get too excited. Apparently, it's just a written down variation of the rules it was already following, which includes no enforcement mechanisms. But Joel explains why this is still a big deal. Also concerning to Joel was whether Taylor Swift would be able to make it to the Super Bowl considering she will be performing a concert in Tokyo the day before. Christ reassures Joel that indeed, Taylor can make it back in time. And Chis and Joel explain the legal process of obtaining a TRO, which helps to explain why Harbaugh is still not coaching.

The writers come off strike and immediately we get Trump testifying on the stand in NYC. Tell me our political world is not really Saturday Night Live comedy hour! As for the merits of the case, Joel and Chris debate whether fraud occurred as no bank would rely on a self-assessed valuations of property when giving a half billion dollar loan. Mike Johnson was in the news again. Vanity Fair thought the new speaker was concealing assets by not turning over financial documents showing his wealth. Turns out he didn't disclose any documents as he didn't have any documents. He is paycheck to paycheck, just the 99% of us. The Big 10 is about to punish the University of Michigan and its head coach Jim Harbaugh for its involvement in the sign-stealing gate. Joel questions how involved the University could really have been in Sign-gate as the coach in question bought all of these tickets in his own name. If Michigan were involved in planning Sign-gate, then they need to refund everyone the cost of their diplomas as they must be absolutely worthless. No one robs a bank after signing in their name first.  

It's Halloween week. Do you dress your pets up? We have a new speaker of the house, Mike Johnson. Is he an extremist or just a God-fearing, middle-American politician? NFL bullies Houston college team on wearing powder blue uniforms. Does anyone even remember the Houston Oilers? The Trump chronicles just keeps rolling. Is Mark Cohen a viable witness?
