For years, many fans of the New Orleans Saints have thought the NFL hates their beloved team. Now, one day after the controversy in Kansas City in the AFC championship game, the league hates the Bengals, too!

Let’s get real. Jim Derry gets into debunking conspiracy theories and why the greatest controversial call of them all had ZERO bearing on the game. And after that, he even gets into the game itself (novel concept) with Larry Holder, who covers the NFL for The Athletic.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? What might have happened had Brock Purdy not been injured early in the game and then fourth-string quarterback Josh Johnson knocked out with a concussion? How exciting is Jalen Hurts vs. Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LVII?

All of that here on Monday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 136) in one of the more spirited monologues of the year.
