What's up sports fans? It's week four of the NFL season, and some things are starting to feel familiar. We lost a full pod of Dolphins (00:48) and watched Josh Allen put on the superhero cape (02:25). Stefon Diggs put defenders in a blender (03:58) and the Bills found the balance between recklessness and ridiculous. The Cowboys still look excellent (05:50), while the Patriots have a "meh" QB option behind Mac Jones (06:40). We take a look at dirty players (09:05) and how to get away with it, plus put a little water on the fire under Daniel Jones (10:10). Alex calls Eli Manning "average" (10:45) and says the Giants are trying to repeat history. Devon Witherspoon gets his flowers (12:03), and Devon sends an open letter to Joe Burrow's head coach (12:30). Kevin Durant gets a shoutout in a rare NBA crossover moment (13:20). We take a detour to sports science and injuries (15:42) and why new equipment could end up wrecking the Bengals. For the first time this season, we call out some questionable reffing (17:06), and let them off the hook. We examine the predicament that is Zach Wilson (20:12) and explain why the Jets are in a tough spot. The Vikings got the first win of the season, despite Cousins struggling (21:45) and Devon rips "QB Wins" as a fake stat. We nudge Harrison Smith toward the Hall of Fame (23:04) and loop back to add Matthew Stafford to the list of maybe-somedays. We give the Bears and Broncos more time than they deserve (26:00), but end up realizing Justin Fields isn't the future. Chase Claypool didn't come to work (28:20), and Chicago might need to squander a first-round draft pick. Plus, we put Terrell Owens in the all-time Top 5 (29:40) and pay our fines with "straight cash, homey." We also look at Christian McCaffrey's historic day (32:50) and go in on whack MVP odds (with all the respect to Brock Purdy). We give some praise to the fullbacks of the NFL (38:15) and lavish the league's ironman, Matthew Stafford (39:50). The Packers got washed in Honolulu blue (45:12) and the Lions beat them down. Closing with Power Rankings, we agree on the Top 5 and Bottom 3—and even agree that Adam Thielen (52:10) might not be the best WR1 for a young QB.
