It was cloudy again in Philadelphia as the Phillies were eliminated, the Eagles got crushed in primetime, and James Franklin was fired. Charles consoles Mike through it all before they turn their attention to the MLB Postseason as a whole, including a potential Dodgers vs. Mariners World Series matchup and a missed opportunity by the league to promote their stars. Plus, Brian Daboll should expect a big fine, and the Jets are officially awful in two continents. Jason's Wormbyte covers the NFL-ification of soccer, and is Mike ready to switch sporting allegiances after a rough birthday?!

Another week, another big guest! Mike is back from vacation, and he and Charles are joined by ESPN's Chris Fowler to discuss the state of College Football, the luster-losing MLB Postseason, Jerry Jones' expensive middle finger, and, of course, Taylor Swift. Plus, Chris details the preparation that it takes to call championship events across three different sports. Do play-by-play guys go to the bathroom? Jason joins the convo to reminisce with Chris about early College GameDay memories, and the Mike Smith Sports Moment of the week goes international!

With Mike on vacation this week, Charles is joined by New York Times Best-Selling Author Jeff Pearlman to discuss some of his favorite subjects, including the Mets, the Jets, Walter Payton, and his upcoming book "Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur". Then, Charles and Jeff discuss Bad Bunny headlining Super Bowl LX, the NFL's continued growth internationally, and the state of baseball as we enter the postseason. Plus, Jason's Wormbyte features a classic rant on the chaos at the Ryder Cup. We miss you Mike! Tune in next week for Mike's return AND another big guest!
