John brings up how bad the Eagles offense and defense really was in 2020. Jamie takes a look at Baseball Reference’s newly posted playoff odds. Also, is there one area where Doug Pederson was deficient where you expect Nick Sirianni to be superior? (1:33-51-2:21:50).The guys compare this Phillies team to teams of the past. Jamie brings up a weird nugget in the new Anthony Bourdain documentary. Are style points more important in some sports rather than others? (2:21:50-3:08:49).
