YINZ LUV

Dr. Will Dieter steps in at the last second to help breakdown the NFL Conference Championships. Will the Eagles win their Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs in the same way they did with the Patriots? Do we really believe that the refs are pulling for Patrick Mahomes? Who has it worse than Buffalo?

This week we are joined by WFUV's Madi Dembele to breakdown the NFL's Divisional Round, which saw the NFC's #1 seed, Detroit Lions, lose in a shocker to the Washington Commanders. Is Jayden Daniels a robot? How is game planning for a Little League game similar to preparing for the Chiefs? Who will make it to Super Bowl LIX? 

Breaking down the NFL's Wildcard Weekend with family friend and longtime Yinz Luv contributor, Mike McGrath. Is it the Buffalo Bills year? Should Pittsburgh breakup with Mike Tomlin? What's the deal with in-game video review?

Sticking with themes, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Free For All, this year I'll be counting down by 30 favorite songs of 2024.

If you want to be surprised, listen now. If not, give a peek below:
