Big Bill needs to Be Big Benched (Ep. #100)

On this episode the guys celebrate Episode 100 — the Century Mark! In the NFL, Carson Wentz is sacrificed on live TV as the Chargers dominate the Vikings, the Dolphins show signs of life, and no one seems to know who the real Falcons are. Myles Garrett racks up five sacks and still isn't satisfied, the Giants lose both Skattebo and an ugly game, and the Ravens win even without Lamar. The Cowboys' defense no-shows in Denver, the Colts might just be the best team in football, and there's still no revenge for Rodgers. In the NBA, the season tips off with gambling scandals shaking headlines, LeBron sitting out, and the Bulls jumping to a 3–0 start. Wemby is already showing out, and a flurry of 50+ point games from Reaves, Markkanen, SGA, and Gordon light up the league. Meanwhile in MLB, the Dodgers lead the Blue Jays 2–1 in the World Series as the fall classic heats up.

Those are good people (Ep. #99)

On this episode the guys discuss how Week 6 delivered upsets, injuries, and chaos. The Giants stunned the Eagles on Thursday night while Saquon hit a career-low 3.4 yards per carry. London got an ugly Jets-Broncos slog, the Cowboys' defense got cooked by Rico Dowdle and the Panthers, and the Colts quietly moved to 5-1. The 49ers lost Fred Warner and the game to Tampa, Puka went down in the Rams' win, and the Titans' latest loss cost Callahan his job. The Chiefs crushed the Lions, the Packers won but didn't cover, and both the Falcons and Bears pulled off Monday night shockers. Over in baseball, the Yankees' postseason hopes died fast ..... bounced in four.

The injury-riddled Cowboys dominated the Jets, the Giants coughed it up against the Saints, and the Patriots pulled a stunner over the Bills in Diggs' revenge game. Tampa edged Seattle in a shootout, the Jags might actually be legit, and somewhere in there… a classic Mark Sanchez moment stole headlines. Over in baseball, the Yankees advanced to the ALDS only to get humbled in Games 1 and 2 but a gutsy Game 3 win keeps their season alive heading into Game 4.

Time to Start the Dart (Ep. #96)

On this episode the guys discuss how Week 3 delivered everything from upsets to injuries: the Rams dominated Philly then blew it in the 4th, the Bengals turned the ball over on repeat while Isaiah Rodgers turned into prime Deion, and the Lions made another statement as real contenders.

The Bills edged Miami, the Bucs survived a blocked FG disaster, and the Bears torched Dallas' defense while the injuries piled up.

D for Vendetta (Ep. #94)

On this episode the guys discuss a wild week across the sports world. In the NFL, the Dildon(s) strike again—this time popping up at games. The Cowboys came up just short against the Eagles but showed signs of optimism, while the Giants' offense flatlined in Washington, raising questions about how long Russell Wilson will last as the starter. Josh Allen and the Bills pulled off a furious 4th-quarter comeback after a Henry fumble, and rookie JJ McCarthy delivered a dazzling debut with three late touchdowns to seal a win. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers outlasted Justin Fields and the Jets in a surprise shootout, Daniel Jones turned back the clock with his best offensive showing in years, and warning signs are flashing for the Dolphins, Giants, Panthers, Titans, and even the 49ers. Meanwhile, the Bengals nearly stumbled on opening day again, the Lions don't look the same, and CJ Stroud's struggles continue. We also make our Week 2 picks. In the NBA, “NBA on NBC” makes its return, but the big story is a salary cap scandal swirling around Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. Pablo Torre uncovered alleged secret endorsement deals and side agreements totaling $48M, tied to a firm funded by Steve Ballmer, raising questions of cap circumvention. Elsewhere, Josh Giddey signed a 4-year, $100M extension with Chicago, and Caitlin Clark is out for the rest of the season. Over in MLB, the Yankees are charging hard down the stretch—just two games back of both the division and the AL lead with 19 to play.
