Cousin Sal and Dave rejoice that football is finally back! Despite losing, the Dallas Cowboys gave Sal hope. Brady and the Bucs continued to look impressive and Dave thinks kickers could be a real issue this year for some teams. Plus, how could Mike McCarthy leave too much time on the clock for Brady? Should Cowboys fans be worried about Zeke? Magic Johnson thinks Dak is the early favorite for MVP.

Dave loves the new uniform number changes and Sal has an idea for players who deserve to wear three numbers. The guys discuss where Brady and Gronk rank on the all-time quarterback/pass catcher list; and Dave thinks Antonio Brown ranks top 3 among wide receivers in the Super Bowl era.

TJ Watt signs a long-term extension; does he deserve to be the highest paid defensive player of all time? Is Dave actually happy for Cleveland and Browns fans? Then Dave and Sal pick their upset picks of the weekend, Dave predicts the Steelers final regular season record and they get Jen Piacenti’s feedback on their fantasy teams.

Finally, can either the Mets or Yankees turn things around in their weekend series on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
