Are the Bills For Real?
With a 10-2 record and a commanding 7-game win streak, the Buffalo Bills are poised to make a serious push in the 2024 NFL playoffs. Just weeks ago, they not only defeated the reigning powerhouse Kansas City Chiefs but followed up with a crushing victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, all but ending the Niners’ postseason hopes. The Bills aren’t just winning—they’re dominating. Unlike the Chiefs, whose narrow victories have become almost mythical or conspiratorial, depending on if you’re a fan or not; the Bills are leaving no doubt about their superiority on the field. Could this be the year Buffalo finally exorcises the ghosts of Super Bowl heartbreaks past?
Led by Josh Allen, these Bills may not be the offensive juggernaut of the early '90s—teams that remain the only in history to reach four consecutive Super Bowls—but they are efficient, resilient, and balanced. This current Bills team is as hard nosed and working class as their dedicated fans. The city’s hunger for the elusive championship that has slipped through their fingers too many times may be realized by this iteration of the team. Is 2024 the year that they finally hoist the Lombardi Trophy?
And while the NFL is heating up, the NCAA football landscape is once again centered on a familiar name: Alabama. Somehow, despite early doubts, the Crimson Tide have fought their way back into the College Football Playoff conversation. We’ll break down how they did it, what it means for the playoff picture, and whether Alabama is poised for another run at glory.
Let’s dive into the Bills’ Super Bowl hopes and the twists of the college football playoff race.

The Chumash Rebellion
Welcome to a holiday episode of THIS IS REVOLUTION>podcast, where we dive into the myths and truths surrounding the most propagandized narratives of American history. Yes, Thanksgiving is upon us—a time that can range from warm gatherings with loved ones to fiery debates with relatives reveling in the "glorious" Trump victory over "that communist Kamala Harris." But as we carve the turkey, we often forget—or perhaps never truly knew—the histories that make up this holiday and its complex intersections with the lives of Native Americans.
Tonight, we take a sharp detour from the saccharine tales of "Pilgrims and Indians" with our esteemed guest, historian Joe Payne, who will unpack the story of the Chumash Rebellion of 1824. It was a powerful and successful uprising against the oppressive mission system in Alta California—a narrative systematically erased by colonialism's historical whitewashing. Prepare for revelations that will enrich—or weaponize—your Thanksgiving dinner debates.
Joe Payne will illuminate the Chumash not as the "savages" that racist missionaries painted them to be, but as a sophisticated and resilient people forced into colonial servitude by Spanish Franciscans. Through their heroic uprising, they defied their oppressors and reclaimed their autonomy, even if only briefly. Tonight’s episode promises an academic and gripping journey into this hidden history.
Please join us in welcoming Joe Payne to the podcast!
