Tom Brady joined Joel Klatt this week and was asked if he would have stayed at Michigan if the rules of CFB were how they are now and his answer was perfect. We have moved past the point of challenging our kids and want to make everything easier, but there’s a lot of value lost in that. :30- MIKE SANDO (The Athletic) It’s wildcard weekend, so how does Mike think the whole thing will shake out? Who has the most promise to excel in the playoffs? Is this the year Josh Allen has to get it done? Mike’s reactions to Harbaugh and McDaniel being fired and where does he think they’ll end up? :45- We close out the Thursday show with one last thing!

Headlines and 12th Man news with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) Gregg can do it all, so we start off the conversation by asking him for his thoughts on the Demond Williams/college football chaos. What has Klint Kubiak’s week been like and could the interview process affect playoff preparations? :30- SOFTY joins the show to give us his thoughts and insight on the Demond Williams situation. Rumors are that Demond Williams blindsided everyone at UW and made the decision to leave UW with his family, leaving everyone else in shock. What effects will this have on Washington outside of just losing Demond? The repercussions could be huge. For those wondering, no, there was zero chance Demond didn’t know what was going on at UW at the time he made his announcement and that alone has a lot of people up in arms. :45- It’s time to get Reckless at Breakfast and we are sticking with college football. Chuck has discussed the state of college football in this segment a lot over the years, from tournaments, to conference realignment, to coaches and players jumping ship. He’s also talked about college football one day becoming professional and we are closer to that than ever before. Will Chuck’s next prophecy ring true- is the NFL waiting to swoop in and takeover college football?

The Demond Williams situation is everything that is wrong with college football and people are rightfully angry about it. Not only did Williams sign a revenue-sharing deal with UW just days ago, but he announced he was leaving while his teammates and coaches were at a memorial service. Why are people shocked that the NFL is less corrupt than college football? That’s not new. :30- The Baltimore Ravens have parted ways with John Harbaugh and he’s already in high demand as seven teams have reportedly contacted him already. It seems like he will have his pick of his next destination. Meanwhile, Seahawks OC, Klint Kubiak also seems to be a hot commodity and he’s spent the week interviewing. :45- Who is to blame for the current state of college football?
