In today's episode:
John goes through everything he learned from Week 2 in the NFL. how the culture of the Pittsburgh Steelers won them the game vs. the Cleveland Browns last night, the Bears and Chargers both losing in inexplicable fashion in their games, the New York Jets have a Zach Wilson problem, why something feels a bit off with the Philadelphia Eagles a year after they went to the Super Bowl, the Denver Broncos' lack of situational football awareness is why they are 0-2 in the Sean Payton era, offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy is a huge difference-maker for the Washington Commanders, and hopefully for him, why it finally clears the way for him to get a chance to be an NFL head coach next season, why it is hard to have a firm takeaway for the New York Giants this week despite their largest comeback victory in over 70 years.
Then, he discusses which teams he trusts in the Wild Card races across Major League Baseball, with a five-team race for the final two Wild Cards in the National League, the AL Wild Card battle between the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, and the Toronto Blue Jays, and why he favors the Orioles over the Rays in the AL East.
And also, how about SIX FBS college games on Saturday between ranked opponents, headlined by the Ohio State vs. Notre Dame showdown in South Bend, Indiana on Saturday, and why he thinks the Fighting Irish will win outright vs. the Buckeyes
