Show Notes

A weekly staple on 'The Rich Eisen Show' since 2018, 'Overreaction Monday' is now also an extended podcast with Rich and Chris Brockman debating the latest in the NFL. Today's topics:

1:00 - The NFC Championship Game was the de facto Super Bowl

4:40 - The Patriots are the cliche "nobody believes in this team" in this Super Bowl matchup

9:55 - The Sam Darnold redemption arc is the best storyline of Super Bowl LX

13:15 - The Super Bowl matchup would have been Broncos vs Rams if Sean Payton and Sean McVay had kicked short field goals instead of going for it

18:10 - The Vikings and Titans should fire everyone who chose to get rid of Sam Darnold and Mike Vrabel

21:45 - There's no reason for Matthew Stafford to think about retirement... he'll be back in 2026

25:45 - No more weather games! Championship Sunday should be played at neutral, perfect condition sites

30:25 - It's the most Jets thing of all-time for Sam Darnold to be playing the Patriots in the Super Bowl

33:00 - If the Steelers were just going to hire Mike McCarthy they should have never let Mike Tomlin quit
