    Special Delivery | Canty Becomes a Dad + Wild Card Picks & Ravens Heartbreak
    Jan 9 2026

    Episode 18 of In My Defense is titled “Special Delivery” — because the biggest win of the week didn’t happen on the field… it happened at home.


    Que opens with the big announcement: Canty and Mel welcomed Baby Canty, and Que gives Canty real fatherhood talk — the job you can’t get fired from, the pressure you won’t get praised for, and the consistency that makes the difference.


    Then it’s straight into 99 Problems, breaking down Wild Card Weekend:

    • Rams vs Panthers — Can Stafford avoid the turnovers, or does Bryce Young run it back?
    • Packers vs Bears — offense vs takeaway defense, and why Jordan Love has to be elite
    • Bills vs Jaguars — legacy game for Josh Allen with “none of the kings” in the way
    • 49ers vs Eagles — attrition football, trenches decide everything
    • Chargers vs Patriots — Herbert vs Drake May, and the “sacks watch” matchup
    • Steelers vs Texans — why Houston’s defense is built for this moment


    They close with Wins & Losses, including Que’s loss for the week (Ravens heartbreak) and the biggest win of all: Canty becoming a father.


    Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.

    Dec 12 2025
    Episode 14 of In My Defense is titled “Crashout” — because the sports world gave us a masterclass in bad decisions, messy headlines, and teams acting desperate.Canty and Que start with the wild situation at Michigan, where Sherrone Moore goes from head coach at a blue-blood program to being fired and arrested in a span of days. They break down what it means for the Wolverines’ legacy, why Michigan felt it had no choice, and how quickly the program must move with the bowl game and the transfer portal looming.Then it’s on to the NFL, where the Indianapolis Colts hit the panic button and bring 44-year-old Philip Rivers off the couch. Canty explains why this is pure desperation, how the Steichen-Rivers relationship made it possible, and why defenses (especially Seattle) are going to test whether Rivers can survive the speed of mid-season action.In 99 Problems, the guys run through the games you need to care about:Ravens vs BengalsPackers vs BroncosCowboys vs VikingsDolphins vs SteelersBills vs Patriots, and a real convo about whether Josh Allen is wasting his window.They close with Wins & Losses of the Week, including love for the Lions, props to the Texans defense, a major salute to Shedeur Sanders, and an all-time roast for a coaching decision that had everybody yelling at the TV.Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.🎙️ New episodes drop every Friday🔗 www.linktr.ee/InMyDefensePod📺 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@InMyDefensePod/?sub_confirmation=1🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and Amazon Music.📺 Watch full episodes on YouTubeFollow the hosts:Chris Canty → @ChrisCanty99Quentin “Que” McDuffie → @Queie_Beamen1From sports and culture to business and everyday life, Chris and Que bring bold opinions, thoughtful analysis, and honest conversation, always with humor, heart, and real talk.In My Defense – Episode: Michigan Fallout, Philip Rivers Returns & Josh Allen’s Window00:00 Start00:23 Intro01:23 Sherrone Moore fallout – Former Michigan head coach arrested after dismissal02:10 Canty on Michigan’s legacy and where the program stands now03:55 Accountability talk – What you teach the next Sherrone Moore05:49 Canty: Everything unraveled in hours — why pile on someone on their worst day?09:09 Philip Rivers rejoins the Colts – Reuniting with Shane Steichen11:41 Stat padding or legacy move?
