From Hot Seats to High Speeds – Eagles Meltdown, Burrows is Back, and F1’s Wild Scandal
Welcome back to the bar for another round of high-stakes sports talk, where the SMQB crew (Bison, House, and Milk) unpack a wild Week 12 in the NFL, a shocking Formula One controversy, and the college football coaching carousel spinning out of control. This episode kicks off with House bringing an unusual pairing to the bar: Miami Heat coach Eric Spoelstra and Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. Why the strange combination? Let’s just say House was not happy with the Eagles’ performance against the Cowboys, and he had some intense, first-hand details from the sidelines about what real coaching looks like. Tune in to hear House’s fiery rant on Sirianni’s coaching decisions, the “shittiest offensive coordinator in history,” and exactly why the Eagles “beat themselves” yesterday. Plus, Milk is celebrating the return of his “old buddy” Joe Burrow to the Bengals’ starting lineup, which might just change the AFC landscape.
The NFL chaos doesn’t stop there. The guys dive deep into the survival of the fittest in the late season, discussing the Eagles’ crippling injury woes (Lane Johnson, secondary), the Bucs’ ongoing disaster, where Milk calls for Defensive Coordinator Todd Bowles to be fired for negligence after Baker Mayfield’s re-injury, and the perennial “Bermuda Triangle” of Thursday Night Football. Can the Rams beat the Eagles? Is the Bears’ record a mirage built on “smoke and mirrors” like the Commanders’ last year? And with the Thanksgiving matchups looming, the guys drop their official Week 13 picks, including some big lines and one pick that makes Bison “kind of sick.” You’ll want to hear who everyone is betting on!
Beyond the gridiron, the conversation takes a turn to the track and the recruiting trail. Bison has a shout-out for F1 Academy champion Dorian Payne, but the big news is the Formula One scandal that has thrown the Drivers’ Championship into doubt. Lando Norris had a comfortable lead, but a hyper-technical infraction—skid plates that were millimeters too thin—led to the disqualification of both McLaren cars, tightening the race with Max Verstappen now lurking. Is the F1 rigged to keep people watching? The guys debate the highly unusual penalty. Finally, it’s all about college football: who is the next great QB coming out of North Texas, and where will Lane Kiffin land?
