Varsity favorite Andrew Marchand joins John to dig into his recent reporting on what’s really going on behind the scenes of the Aikman-Buck beef. Marchand handicaps the chances Aikman is back at ESPN next season, and what happens to Monday Night Football if the duo splits after the Super Bowl, ending a 25-year run in the booth together. He also weighs in on Pat McAfee’s latest controversy, Ernie Johnson’s retirement from Inside the NBA, and more.
