The podcast title is referencing Final Fantasy, so you know that Defector’s own Dan McQuade is joining Drew and Roth. They’re talking about how bad the Eagles are, how bad Jalen Hurts is, and which PS1 games fit which NFL teams. In the second half, they wonder if any team would take Draymond Green, and by team they mean wrestling organization. And as always, we get some voicemail Funbag questions.
This is our last episode of the year, so see you in 2024!
Stuff We Talked About

About The Show
The Distraction is Defector's flagship podcast about sports (and movies, and art, and sandwiches, and certain coastal states) from longtime writers Drew Magary and David Roth. Every week, Drew and Roth tackle subjects, both serious and impossibly stupid, with a parade of guests from around the world of sports and media joining in the fun! Roth and Drew also field Funbag questions from Defector readers, answer listener voicemails, and get upset about the number of people who use speakerphone while in a public bathroom stall. This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
