Roger Lajoie and Sho Alli kick off the final hour of the morning alongside Sportsnet's Luke Fox! Luke shares his thoughts on the firing of Marc Savard, the current state of the power play, if coaching or player execution is to blame, and what this situation means for Craig Berube’s job security.

After the break, Trey Wingo (26:16) of the Straight Facts Homie podcast, takes a look back on an eventful Week 16 in the NFL. The conversation covers what Trey saw from the 49ers last night, their status as Super Bowl contenders despite injuries, the parity at the top of the NFL, the importance of the bye week heading into the postseason, and his thoughts on two of the league’s more disappointing teams this year: the Lions and Ravens.
