In the “Pete Rose episode,” Dan Fox and Frank Knight open with baseball—and the conversation turns quickly into a full-on Mets identity check. With Pete Alonso gone, Nimmo traded for Marcus Semien, and Edwin Díaz landing with the Dodgers, Frank tries to keep the panic in check: it’s “wait-and-see” season in Queens. The guys debate whether this is a strategic reset or the start of a rebuild, whether committee platoons (including Jeff McNeil) can really work, and whether the Mets should push hard for Juan Soto now or wait for free agency—assuming Uncle Stevie’s wallet stays open.

Over in Philly, Dan reacts to the Phillies bringing back Kyle Schwarber on a five-year deal, weighing the short-term upside (power, leadership, clubhouse presence) against the long-term risk of paying for past performance. Alan checks in on the Yankees’ unusually quiet offseason, including the debate around keeping Cody Bellinger—a versatile glove with a left-handed swing made for the short porch.

Then it’s college football mayhem: Penn State’s coaching change, Ole Miss fallout, Lane Kiffin’s “big-leagues vs. king-of-the-program” decision, and the Michigan scandal that has everyone asking what the program does next. The crew also takes a hard shot at Notre Dame’s independence, arguing you can’t complain about playoff politics while refusing to join a conference.

Finally, the episode closes with Fox Brothers Alarms, the empty inbox (again), a Survivor Pool update that now includes a Week 18 tiebreaker plan, and a pivot into the Week 14 NFL recap—anchored by a quick historical nod to December 7th as “a day that will live in infamy.”

Winter is hitting, parent-teacher conferences are looming, and Dan and Frank kick off the Dan Marino “Rocket Man” episode with a mix of nostalgia, sports-radio fuel, and a full Week 13 NFL rewind. Before the games, the guys hit the MLB Hot Stove ahead of the Winter Meetings—Schwarber’s rumored price tag, Philly’s possible pivot plan (Realmuto + Bader + Bellinger), what it means for Castellanos and the DH spot, and the Mets’ ripple effects if Alonso walks.

Then it’s college football reality: Early Signing Day, the Lane Kiffin-to-LSU drama, and a blunt take on modern “loyalty” in the NIL/portal era—where players chase life-changing money, schools chase wins, and coaches get replaced fast when expectations are out of sync with reality.

Week 13 NFL recap brings the turbulence:

• Thanksgiving slate: Green Bay knocks off Detroit, the Cowboys clip the Chiefs again, and Cincinnati shocks Baltimore.
• Black Friday: Chicago runs all over Philly and the “Boo Birds” come out.
• Sunday chaos: Niners handle Cleveland, Jags roll Tennessee, Houston steals one in Indy (Rich nails the lone-wolf), Jets trip Atlanta, Tampa survives Arizona, and Carolina stuns the Rams—proof that the moment you crown a contender, they find a way to faceplant.
• Afternoon hammer: Seattle blanks Minnesota 26–0, and Buffalo rebounds by drilling Pittsburgh.

The episode closes with more NFL coaching talk and a big-picture question: which teams are real contenders—and which ones are just wearing a costume.

Post-Thanksgiving vibes in the bomb shelter! Dan and Frank swap holiday stories (Easton–P’burg memories and a new family baby on the way), then crank up the Hot Stove: the Mets’ infield shuffle (Simeon for Nimmo talk), what it could mean for Tucker/Bellinger/Realmuto targets, plus the Phillies’ quiet start.

College football hits Rivalry Week: Texas–A&M, conference title games on deck, and who’s really got a path in the new 12-team playoff.

Then a full NFL Week 12 whiparound:

• Chiefs 23, Colts 20 (OT): KC escapes to keep the playoff door cracked.
• Bears 31, Steelers 28: Chicago steals one; NFC North stays spicy.
• Patriots 26, Bengals 20: Drake May keeps stacking wins.
• Ravens 23, Jets 10; Seahawks 27, Titans 24; Packers 27, Vikings 13
• Lions 34, Giants 27: Jamir Gibbs goes video-game mode late.
• Jaguars 27, Cardinals 24; Browns 24, Raiders 10; Falcons 24, Saints 10
• Rams 34, Bucs 7: LA looks hotter by the week.
• 49ers 20, Panthers 9: Turnovers galore, CMC cleans it up.
• Cowboys 24, Eagles 21: Down 21–0, Dallas storms back—Pickens shines, Dak cooks.

Plus: pick standings, lone-wolf chaos, and the Survivor Pool down to three (could this be the week it ends?).
