Peter starts the podcast with a recap of what he witnessed Monday night between the Commanders and Chiefs, as well as a few thoughts on the 2024 QB Class and why all eyes are now on J.J. McCarthy to deliver for Minnesota. He gives out his awards for player of the week and sports media person of the week and then welcomes in a dynamo of a guest in Michael Irvin. "Irv" takes us back to his days as one of seventeen siblings growing up in Fort Lauderdale, his early Cowboys days, and what it was like rolling with Jimmy Johnson and World Wide Wes. He then gives some thoughts on the current Cowboys' struggles, why he thinks Micah still isn't necessarily a "winner" in the trade, and his feelings on both Dak Prescott and Patrick Mahomes. Brian Hoyer joins to do a deep dive on Drake Maye, dissect Josh McDaniels, and offer an outlook on the Patriots the rest of the way.
