On this episode of Football 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer and Erik Watkins begin by discussing the College National Championship game. Could the Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback change cause an issue for next season? So does this make the committee correct? Do the Georgia Bulldogs make it back next year?

After that, the guys discuss the latest in the New England Patriots drama involving Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft. With all of them doing interviews saying the contrary, is it possible there’s some sensationalizing in the ESPN story? Or are the Patriots just playing damage control?

Finally, the guys talk about the latest news with Jon Gruden returning to the Oakland Raiders. Matt Nagy becoming head coach of the Chicago Bears. They go through the NFL Playoff games for a little bit as well too.

Sean Garmer

Studied Journalism at the University of North Texas Born in Arkansas, his favorite college team is the Arkansas Razorbacks, but all of his professional loves come from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where he spent 20 years of his life. So, that means Sean is a huge Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks supporter as well. Sean is an avid fan of watching football game film, learning about the history of NFL, and fantasy football. Most of his professional writing comes from spending years covering soccer in various forms, but he’s also covered football, wrestling, and video games as well.

Gary Vaughan

is a native of North Texas. He is also a graduate of the University of North Texas with aspirations of a higher level of education. Like a majority of Texans, football is his sports passion. Ironically, his passion for the game sparked from his love of Madden 98. From that point on, he has poured hours into studying NFL history and game film. Gary is a student of the game and is a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. His second sport is hockey, followed up by the rest of the American sports scene.

Erik Watkins

Erik started out with watching games and staying up late for Sunday and Monday night. It spread to college, and eventually just about every single sport in the book. By the time he graduated from UNF, all his friends and family thought Erik would be better off as a sportswriter. Perhaps a journalist, or a commentator than anything to do with math (boy were they right). So, after wandering around with a degree and looking for a job, he started a blog. The blog turned into some freelance work. After that, work led him right here talking about the game that he loves.
