    Scoop Court: Are the Chiefs no longer elite? + Have the Commanders fallen off the “Kliff Cliff?”
    Nov 26 2024
    Both of New York’s football teams are in shambles. Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel get into where the Giants go from here after releasing Daniel Jones and the bizarre news that the Jets have brought back former GM Mike Tannenbaum to help them find a new GM and head coach. Then, they reconvene “Scoop Court” to rule on whether Chase can still credibly claim the Chiefs are the best team in the league, whether it’s fair to say that the Commanders are trending downward at the time Kliff Kingsbury-coached offenses typically fall off a cliff and whether Dianna needs to take back her prediction that the Texans would win the Super Bowl. And to cap off the show, they dish out their Uncrustables for cool things that happened in Week 12.
