Show Notes
Josh Jacobs turned a touchdown celebration into a mess of questions, and Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola are not buying the explanation. Bernstein and Abbatacola break down the celebration itself, Jacobs' claim that it was an homage to Break Every Chain, a modern Gospel song, and why the timing makes the whole thing look even worse given his still-recent legal situation. They dig into the open NFL review, the charges and plea deal, and the uncomfortable reality of what a player is signaling when he does something that can be read one way by everyone watching. The show also covers the Bears’ blockbuster trade for Jeffrey Simmons, the relationship between Ryan Poles and Titans GM Mike Borgonzi that helped make the deal happen, the Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit broadcast booth, Troy Aikman and Joe Buck’s reported feud, Caleb Williams’ latest fine.
