Who cares about the Superbowl, bitter fans unite! Talking what teams are looking like they will be making the playoff push in 2016 and which playoff teams are going to be picking early in the 2017 NFL Draft. 

In this episode of Next Fan Up your Sunday night host, Mark Sitko (Eagles Superfan), is joined by Neil (Redksins Superfan) and Justin (Seahawks Superfan) to dicsuss the AFC and NFC Championship games of 2016. Is Peyton greater than Brady even with that aging damaged neck? Will Peyton retire after the Superbowl wether he wins or losses? Is Brady to blame for the Pats loss, or does all the credit belong to that Denver D? Is the Pats O line really that bad? Should Bill have kicked a field goal instead of going for it on 4th down late in the 4th quarter? Should AFC Championship games be lost over a missed extra point - will Patrick and Podvader finally see the value of special teams now that it cost them a shot at another ring? ...and yet only one question is coming out of the NFC tonight - can the Panthers possibly be stopped? All this and more - ENJOY!
