It's the holiday season, and Mike Shanahan clearly is in the giving spirit. Well, at least as far as Rex Grossman is concerned. On this week's episode of SB Nation Radio on 106.7 The Fan, Scott Jackson and Mike Prada try to figure out why Shanahan decided to bench Donovan McNabb. Is there any silver lining to this move? Is there a conspiracy theory that somehow explains Shanahan's rationale? What the heck is going on here?
Also, we talk about the Washington Capitals and the first episode of HBO's 24/7 series with J.P. from Japers Rink, go Behind Enemy Lines with Dave Halprin of SB Nation's Dallas Cowboys blog Blogging the Boys and try to help this city's underperforming sports teams come up with good New Year's Resolutions.
In the first segment, Mike and Scott discuss the Grossman/McNabb situation. Here Mike try to play Devil's Advocate and look for something to explain the decision, even if he knows there's nothing there.
