12/26/2018 Passed Ball Show- John opens up the program by talking about a familiar topic- the Baseball Hall of Fame. After pointing out its hypocrisy, John talks about all the different players that are not in Baseball's Hall of Fame for different reasons. Commissioners like Kenesaw Mountain Landis and Bud Selig are in despite their shortcomings and ignorance. Why is that looked over? What keeps other players who played during the "steroid era" from facing similar circumstantial suspicion that others are being held out for. John then breaks down the NFL playoff scenarios just prior to Week 17- how the AFC South can be won by three different teams, how either the Steelers or Ravens will win the AFC North or not make the playoffs at all, and how if the Philadelphia Eagles make the playoffs... will it be time for them to consider using Nick Foles as their starting quarterback? Finally, the best sports holidays are Thanksgiving (Football), New Years Day (College Football, Hockey) and Christmas (Basketball)- in that order.
