Dec 2025 - Sports Lunatics - The End of Eras - Mahomes, Rivers, Cena, Dick Van Dyke (and Babe Ruth?) and Remembering Rob Reiner

The Sports Lunatics Show

Tuesday, December 16, 2025 - 44 minutes

In a wild and bizarre weekend the Kansas City Chiefs lost Patrick Mahomes to an ACL tear and lost their game to end their quest for another NFL playoff berth, ending a run of success that was incredible. That same day, 44-year-old Philip Rivers came out of retirement to almost lead the Indianapolis Colts to a win over the Seattle Seahawks. But poor clock management resulted in Seattle having enough time to kick a field goal and pull the game out. On the Saturday night, John Cena appeared in his last wrestling bout as he tapped out against the Swiss giant, Gunther. On the cultural side that week, Dick Van Dyke celebrated his 100th birthday. He was born right before Babe Ruth began a massive tear across the American League. And on Sunday, Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered in their Brentwood home. Shawn and Howie discuss all of this in this episode.
