David and Marshall prepared an episode anticipating an uneventful contest against the Minnesota Vikings to close out the 2023 regular season. Since the game was decidedly eventful, we begin by sharing our polarized reactions to Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell's approach in the finale: start regulars and don't take a knee. Then we do a deeper dive into last week's ref fiasco against the Cowboys (07:00), and uncover revealing info about why the NFL's refereeing system fails so frequently (18:00). Along the way, we break down Marshall's controversial capture-the-flag triumph in sixth grade camp (09:52), and revisit the time Marshall volunteered to ref a high school basketball game—in street shoes (34:44).
