It’s a Conference Championship weekend preview episode, and the relative lack of national action gives us the opportunity to discuss cold remedies, BIG MOON, and youth sport-themed gingerbread displays. And then we’ve got the usual rundown of sports headlines, games previews, and silliness from Jimmy Carter and all the rest. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it by joining the conversation on our Substack or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
