:50 after James introduces the show and the topic, he hands it over to Joe to get us started with the MLB. Joe leads with some current Yankee news that Aaron Judge doesn't want to be filmed in the dugout after he strikes out. This leads us to a larger discussion about whether or not we think such a request is reasonable and the example that athletes can set for the people who watch them.

11:30 we move into the discussion of the upcoming World Series, which features The Astros vs The Braves, and why Joe is rooting for The Braves.

15:00 Chris asks Joe what he thinks is the better story entering into the World Series.

22:26 James switches the discussion to current NFL news with the Giants, the Jets, and the upcoming trade deadline.

29:08 James asks a question: where does the fault lie when a team or a player is not performing well? Is it with the coaches, the trainers or the management? Chris and Joe weigh in with their thoughts, offering insight and detail as to their reasoning.

48:31 before we leave the subject of football, we also discuss Tom Brady.

52:22 James wraps up the football discussion with college football talking about Clemson and

Boston college. We end with how college students and fans are happy to be at a game, even if it’s not a good one.

57:31 Chris talks about the start of the hockey season.

1:03:15 Joe talks about some NY basketball and the PBA

1:06:15 after some technical difficulties, Joe and Chris tease the future discussion about whether or not bowling is a sport and how, ultimately, the conversation can only be resolved via discussion about what defines a sport.

1:07:56 James wraps up the show talking about the recent boxing event, Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3, and how it was a great fight and is evidence that boxing is very much alive.
