The Texas Rundown crew is back to discuss the retirement of WWE wrestler John Cena. Did they make the right decision to make him tap out in his final match against Gunther? We also discuss the New York Knicks' decision not to hang the banner for the 2025 NBA cup. What can be done to increase players' and teams' interest in the NBA Cup? We then take a look at the NFL's NFC playoff picture. Which teams do we like, and who are the front-runners? We close out the episode with our college football playoff predictions for this weekend's games!
