Here comes SantaCollector2! It's Ryan's first holiday season as a father, and he's fired up! This week, the New York Jets won a football game out of spite and Tyler/Lou couldn't be less enthused. Sad. Also, Shohei Ohtani signed an outrageous $700,000,000 contract with $680,000,000 of it deferred. The guys break down where that sort of contract is headed. Juan Soto signed with the Yanks and Tyler is fired up about it. Justin Midbert went down with a season ending injury, joining almost every starting quarterback on IR. Zion Williamson is eating a lot and social media is upset about it.. even ..read more

Ryan doesn't take many L's on Card Talk... so today is about to be a bit different. It's been 3 weeks since we last recorded an episode. Since then, the Jets are in the midst of a complete free fall, Penn State lost to Michigan, and the Patriots have become a laughingstock.. but the 3rd Ohio State loss in a row to Michigan, in a game that Ryan claims is the "most important game of the year... even more so than a possible National Championship game... the one game he wants to win above all else!" You hate to see these things. I hate to see these things. But Lou... he LOVES to see it and you c ..read more

There's a World Series being played, incase anybody hasn't noticed. The Tacofractor champion has arrived... how much would YOU pay for a $15k Taco Bell gift card? Better yet, how much would you pay for a patch that was worn on the sleeve of your favori ..read more

It was another great week of NFL action, but the injuries are piling up.  Most notably in the hobby (and fantasy) Justin Jefferson heads to IR with hamstring issues as well as standout rookies Anthony RIchardson (shoulder) and running back De'Von Achane (knee). However, there are some good looking rookies who are still healthy and might carry this class in the hobby including Puka Nacua and CJ Stroud. Can anybody take down the 49ers? The Jets won a game while Mac Jones and the Patriots continue to stink. Lou's Astros are battling in the playoffs... Ryan is watching baseball games ..read more

The boys are back and we heard your comments on last week's show... it's time to get back to CARD TALK on Card Talk! The Jets looked good on Sunday Night football but (with the help of the refs) sadly couldn't pull off the upset.. but is Zach Wilson starting to figure things out? Also, CJ Stroud and Anthony Richardson are GOOD... and Panini won the first of what will likely be many legal battles against the NFLPA, maintaining the rights (for now) to produce NFL licensed cards for the 2023 season. Lou thinks Caleb Williams is BY FAR the best quarterback in this years college class, Pokemon re ..read more

Zach Wilson has broken Lou and Tyler... and Ryan has never smiled wider! The New York Jets dropped their 15th!! straight game to the Patriots on Sunday on a rainy day in the swamps of the Meadowlands... while the Miami Dolphins put up 70 points against the Broncos. I'm sure you can imagine what was about to happen in the studio in this beep-fest of an episode. in bigger news, Taylor Swift showed up at Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on the Chiefs and her new (possible) boyfriend Travis Kelce while sitting with his mom. Interesting. This should be a fun one to see play out, but does it have any ef ..read more
