Episode 15 of In My Defense is titled “Inevitable Change” because sports don’t care about plans — it forces you to adjust.

Canty and Que open with life and family as Canty prepares for fatherhood, then jump into hoops with the New York Knicks winning the NBA Cup, and why raising a banner for it is doing too much. Canty breaks down what he saw from Wemby, Knicks depth, and why Mike Brown’s approach matters long-term.

Then it’s straight to the NFL, where the injury wave hit hard. Patrick Mahomes goes down, and Canty calls it franchise malpractice: too many hits, too many drops, and not enough protection for a $500M asset. The guys also unpack what Micah Parsons’ injury means for the Packers — and why Green Bay can’t move the goalposts after trading the future for “right now.”

They roll into 99 Problems with Week 16 picks:

• Philadelphia Eagles (9-5) vs Washington Commanders (4-10) — Saturday,12/20 @5:00pm
• Green Bay Packers (9-4-1-) vs. Chicago Bears (10-4) — Saturday,12/20 @8:20pm
• New England Patriots (11-3) vs. Baltimore Ravens (7-7) (Sunday Night Football) @8:20pm
• San Francisco 49ers (10-4) vs. Indianapolis Colts (8-6) (Monday Night Football) @8:15pm

A bonus game spotlight (Jaguars vs Broncos), and an honest conversation about Joe Burrow’s joy, Cincinnati’s future, and what happens when a winner has to live in struggle.

Finally, it’s Wins & Losses — from subscriber milestones to “Uncle Phil” Rivers gaming the system, plus a real rant on the injury epidemic across the league.

Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.

Episode 14 of In My Defense is titled “Crashout” — because the sports world gave us a masterclass in bad decisions, messy headlines, and teams acting desperate.

Canty and Que start with the wild situation at Michigan, where Sherrone Moore goes from head coach at a blue-blood program to being fired and arrested in a span of days. They break down what it means for the Wolverines’ legacy, why Michigan felt it had no choice, and how quickly the program must move with the bowl game and the transfer portal looming.

Then it’s on to the NFL, where the Indianapolis Colts hit the panic button and bring 44-year-old Philip Rivers off the couch. Canty explains why this is pure desperation, how the Steichen-Rivers relationship made it possible, and why defenses (especially Seattle) are going to test whether Rivers can survive the speed of mid-season action.

In 99 Problems, the guys run through the games you need to care about:

• Ravens vs Bengals
• Packers vs Broncos
• Cowboys vs Vikings
• Dolphins vs Steelers
• Bills vs Patriots, and a real convo about whether Josh Allen is wasting his window.

They close with Wins & Losses of the Week, including love for the Lions, props to the Texans defense, a major salute to Shedeur Sanders, and an all-time roast for a coaching decision that had everybody yelling at the TV.
