Tough Truths Around the NFL | GS MoodSwings
Welcome back to MoodSwings presented by Landmark Lincoln, your new favorite sports therapy show. Injuries aren’t an excuse. The 49ers have proven all season that culture matters more than availability. Kyle Shanahan coached a true “next man up” masterclass. Stars went down, including Kittle in the playoffs, and San Francisco never flinched. If you’re on a 53-man roster, you stay ready. The backlash toward veteran reporter Lynn Jones is everything wrong with sports media. Fifteen seconds of kindness shouldn’t cost someone their credential. She showed humanity in a space that often lacks it. If that offends you, grow up. Despite losing just one home game and being the number one seed, the Broncos are underdogs against Buffalo. I love it. Stop James Cook, embrace the pressure, and play the role of the doubted team that thrives when counted out. AND, Liv has her Where Do We Stand segment with the top 3 people that need to be had a tough conversation with.

Show Notes
In this episode of MoodSwings with Liv Moods, Liv opens with breaking news surrounding Mike Tomlin stepping down in Pittsburgh and explains why she views it as a power move rather than a failure, even floating the idea of what a pairing with Lamar Jackson could look like. She then highlights the San Francisco 49ers’ ability to overcome injuries, arguing that coaching, culture, and accountability matter more than ever in today’s NFL. Liv also defends journalist Lynn Jones after her compassionate exchange with Jaguars coach Liam Cohen went viral, calling out the industry for mistaking humanity for unprofessionalism. The show shifts to the Denver Broncos’ upcoming playoff matchup against Buffalo, where Liv lays out a clear game plan centered on stopping James Cook, trusting Denver’s defense, and finally committing to the run game under Sean Payton. She closes with her “Tough Conversation Time” segment, questioning the double standard surrounding Justin Herbert, evaluating AJ Brown’s public frustrations and costly mistakes, and making the case that it may finally be time for Aaron Rodgers to step away before his legacy is further diminished.
