Rome, Aaron, and Jaeson begin the pod while simultaneously being distracted by what would turn out to be the 2nd longest game in World Series history with the Blue Jays and Dodgers playing out in the background. Rome starts recapping a bad week against the spread (04:36) before breaking down some of the week's "biggest wins" (07:20), "biggest losses" (23:09), before wrapping up NFL coverage with Rome's tentative new power rankings and some live reactions from the World Series game (33:39).
Then it's onto the Mexico Grand Prix (36:13) which turned out to be a dominating win for Lando Norris while the rest of the field dealt with interesting pit stop strategies and penalties (41:33), the battle for positioning in the Drivers and Constructors Championship (51:11), and a quick look into who may have the edge heading into Brazil (56:44).
The guys then bring some "bonus coverage" with a closer look into LSU and the surprising or maybe not-so surprising firing of Brian Kelly (01:03:03) and who can possibly be a candidate for the job next (01:16:05). All three segments are available on the SFTS Podcast Youtube Channel respectively.
