16:16 Fred, Art, and guest Mark Mancini are ready to dig into the annual feasts of Thanksgiving and football, with college and pro games in abundance.  Could Caleb Williams nab the Heismann with his next USC victory?  Ben Simmons faced an icy reception in Philly, returning to his old city for the first time as a Net.  Will it be better in Brooklyn?  Mick Cronin and Sean McVay are trying to out-think their opponents, and their teams’ performances are suffering.  Can they turn things around in time? 

                                                                                  20:24 Fred and Art are looking forward to the big UCLA-USC game at the Rose Bowl this weekend, as Art was a former kicker for USC.  Will it be a QB shootout in the passing game between Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Caleb Williams?  Which team takes home the Victory Bell?  In baseball, there’s a big deal on the table for Joc Pederson, and Aaron Judge is deciding where to play next year.  How much will Judge's 62nd home run ball bring in at auction? 

                                                                                    19:15 Fred and Art are concerned that some of the NFL teams who have been so dominant in recent seasons appear to be making rookie moves on the field, with seasoned professionals like Sean McVay and Aaron Rodgers using unconventional play strategies.  Has football dramatically changed?  Which NBA team has named Jacque Vaughn as their new head coach?  And with the Dodgers reshuffling the team roster, will Trea Turner stay in LA next season?

                                                                                   20:19 Fred and Art raise questions about some of Rams’ coach Sean McVay’s decisions, such as when he sent QB Cooper Kupp in with less than a minute to go to try to save the Rams from a loss to the 49ers.  Was that wise?  They also wonder about the state of some suspensions in the NBA and how Commissioner Adam Silver is dealing with discipline within the organization.  Will he make Kyrie Irving sit out for his anti-semitic tweets?

                                                                                    12:47 Fred and Art race against technical difficulties to discuss their predictions for the World Series, beginning with Game 1 in Houston on Friday.  Will this finally be Dusty Baker’s year to win a long-awaited championship with the Astros, or do Aaron Nola and the Phillies have plans to ensure that doesn’t happen?  Where is Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the field of top NCAA QBs?  And are Tom Brady and the Bucs ready for the Ravens in Tampa Bay?

                                                                                  19:57  Fred and Art wonder how the Dodgers went from winning 111 games in the regular season to losing three games in the playoff series with the Padres.  Was it down to decisions made by manager Dave Roberts, or was he acting on behalf of franchise president Andrew Friedman?  Why was Bob Costas pulled from calling the Yankees vs. Astros game?  And will Zach Charbonnet help the Bruins continue their winning streak up in Oregon?

                                                                                   23:19 Fred and Art are scratching their heads over some things that have them puzzled, from the noticeably low fan attendance at the Rose Bowl for UCLA football, the questionable calls made by Chargers’ coach Brandon Staley, and some controversial remarks made by Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville, a former college football coach.  Are the Dodgers being over-managed in the postseason?  And on a more positive note, what does the future hold for USC QB Caleb Williams? 

                                                                                   15:54 Fred and Art try to figure out what went wrong with the Rams in their loss to the 49ers on Monday Night Football, topped off with the added spectacle of Bobby Wagner making a rather unusual tackle.  What caused Draymond Green to punch a teammate?  Will Shohei Otani or Aaron Judge be awarded the American League MVP trophy?  And who will be heading to the playoffs after the MLB Wild Card Series this weekend?

                                                                                   17:40 Fred and Art run down the transformations ahead for some long-standing sports traditions.  Is the Pro Bowl an irrelevant relic?  Has golf been torn in two between the PGA and the LIV, and is the LIV eyeing Fox?  What does Rob Manfred have in mind for baseball that Maury Wills would have appreciated?  How is Jimmy Garoppolo looking for the 49ers vs. Rams game?  And will Craig Kimbrel remain the Dodgers' go-to closer? 

                                                                                   21:09 Fred and Art comment on the behavior of billionaire team owners resulting in disciplinary action and expulsion from their leagues, with Robert Sarver of the Phoenix Mercury and Suns teams the latest asked to leave.  Are class-act owners like Peter O’Malley all too rare these days?  What happened with Al Michaels during his broadcast last week?  And will the passing of baseball great Maury Wills finally be the impetus to induct him into the Hall of Fame?
