In the eighth episode of Around The Waves on KCOU 88.1 FM, Luca Vitale and Ryan Waelterman welcome back Plaino, Illinois native Nick Winkelman. Nick is a journalism major right here at Mizzou. Before Nick joins the show, both Luca and Ryan reflect on the World Series as the Dodgers have captured their crown for the first time since 1988. Luca blasts Kevin Cash for removing Blake Snell to early which ultimately gave the Dodgers all of the momentum, while also apologizing to Clayton Kershaw about being a choker. Next, both of them move onto the NFL where they debate if the Dallas Cowboys fate is determined this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ryan believes this division is so bad so there isn't a reason to think. Luca believes this is it for the Cowboys as they have been horrible all season and are getting worse by the week. Next, they debate whether or not if America should be panicking about Cam Newton. Ryan believes there's nothing to worry about and Cam Newton will be himself this weekend against the Bills. After the break, Around The Waves welcomes Nick Winkelman. First, they interview Nick on his thoughts about the Chicago Bears thus far. When asked about the quarterback situation during the offseason, Nick was left speechless because there's too much uncertainty. The crew moves on to talk about if their opinions on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after Antonio Brown was signed. Luca believes if they don't make the Super Bowl, the season was a failure because of the "embarrassment of riches they had available to them." The crew closes off with a segment what to expect this weekend with Mizzou football against the Florida Gators. Nick believes they can defeat Florida because they previously beaten LSU and Kentucky "so why not". Next week we'll invite our next guest on the show, so stay tuned!
