GIL ALEXANDER talks about the prop-shaving hellscape in sports, and how Jontay Porter was able to piss away his house on Russian table tennis matches. Then Mr. X talks about the incositency and illogic of the 24 team playoff that's coming and current CFP committee dog and pony show. MORE....

Czabe, Andy and Gene open on a "super sports equinox," a night when all four major leagues and the WNBA are active, and debate whether October is the best sports month. Gene votes for April. Andy shares stories from his Seattle trip to see his son and grandson, and the group trades food and family anecdotes.

They then dig into the WNBA, where the Finals is tied 2-2 and a possible Game 6 was moved to noon Thursday because of an arena conflict. They argue the league has botched its moment and has effectively split into two, with a "Caitlin Clark league" on top of the rest. The NFL talk covers Dan Campbell's aggressive call and the unbeaten Vikings, with a debate over whether their defense can carry Kyler Murray. They also cover Anthony Davis and the Wizards, Jalen Williams' serious injury, and the NBA's new prediction-market deals.

The second half turns to media. Czabe sees a backlash building against Pat McAfee, reads a Cornell study on why overconfident people seem to succeed, and discusses Mike Wilbon's attack on the New York Times and the decline of newspaper sports sections. They close with the Knicks' botched championship-ring rollout, which included a phishing-style email to employees.

Czabe is back from Vegas, and has thoughts on the two close call collapses by the Brewers in the 9th inning, plus the real reason why you can't challenge "check swings" via replay - well... yet. The personal foul calls in the NFL are beyond out of control. Cam Skattebo with a first: an offensive un-necessary roughness while running with the ball! Dan Campbell still is a 4th down idiot.
