The grandiose hubris of the College Football Playoff tried to take over America’s New Year’s Eve—and failed. Also, Cary Fiorina panders shamelessly to Iowa, Tom Coughlin's leaves a legacy, and a Bills fan lights himself on fire. Bram and Marc also talk about the reaction to last week’s episode, where Bram spoke openly, for the first time, about leaving ESPN. If you haven’t heard it, go get caught up.
