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

• 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.
