Hello hello!

We’re talking gridiron and Grand Slams on today’s episode of The GIST of It, previewing this weekend’s NFL Conference Championships along with the finals of the first tennis major of the season, the Australian Open.

Co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz begin by previewing this weekend’s AFC title game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs and the NFC clash between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. That’s right, the Super Bowl matchup is nearly set.
