Unbelievably we forgot to do our NFL Cross Off segment. It was between the Browns and the Cards so we'll probably knock them both off next week.

We did cover a lot of territory, though: MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, some general analytics complaints, how to dress for the World Series, etc.

AI Generated Summary

In this episode, hosts discuss frustrations with analytics-driven pitcher management in MLB playoffs, criticizing the Blue Jays' decisions in their series against the Mariners (e.g., pulling starters early, leading to losses). They praise the Dodgers' strategy of riding starters for wins and highlight Shohei Ohtani's historic postseason performance (10 strikeouts pitching, 3 home runs batting). The conversation shifts to NFL, covering survivor pool updates (11 players left), fantasy league standings, 49ers' injuries, and allegations of officiating bias favoring the Chiefs in a Lions game. NHL early season surprises include strong starts from former bottom-feeders like the Red Wings and Canadiens, with the Avalanche leading the league. NBA preview includes predictions (e.g., Jokic MVP favorite, Thunder title pick), a 2018 redraft (suggesting Suns take Luka or SGA over Ayton), fantasy draft strategies, and Emirates Cup betting (e.g., no on Nuggets, yes on Hawks). They touch on contests like points challenges and end with excitement for upcoming MLB/NFL games and NBA start.
