This past saw 22 incidences of flags planted at rival schools in college football. Each resulted in physical violence with the most notable being mace being used at Michigan - Ohio State in Columbus.

Steve and I discuss how this came about and compare to over the Generations.

Baker Mayfield, Terrell Owens, among others are discussed.

Steve brings up the Golden At-Bat.

Steve and I review John Hollinger's article from The Athletic this week.

I critique the methodology and Steve brings his nostalgic "intangibles" rhetoric.

And, James Harden is No. 13!?!

Steve and I attempt to define what a Diva is in sports and if that is an outdated term.

We discuss some of the more outrageous players and if they were Hot Dogs, Divas, or other.

Reggie, Rickey, Dick Allen, and others make an appearance.

Others mentioned, Happy Hairston, Hot Rod Hundley. Lakers, Celtics, Yankees, Ahteltics, Catfish Hunter, Don Baylor, Orioles.

We discuss the former USC coach John Robinson after his passing this last week and Steve takes umbrage to the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson exhibition.

There is a lot of get off my lawn today. Listen to see if you agree.

Steve and I discuss the World Series and how it played out. We discuss Aaron Judge and how he might be viewed using the lens of Mickey Mantle and 1963 World Series.

Steve still thinks intangibles cannot be measured, yet still cannot define an intangible.

Discussed: Kirk Gibson, Freddie Freeman, Walker Buehler, John Smoltz, Doyle Alexander, Atlanta Braves, Yankees, Dodgers, and others.

Steve and I discuss the requirements for something to be an iconic moment. I ponder why Kirk Gibson's homerun in the clinching game in 1984 is not as well known as his Game 1 homerun in 1989.

We use that example as a basis to discuss what makes a moment iconic. I ask if Freddie Freeman's grand slam will be iconic if the Dodgers lose (we now know they did not, so is it iconic?)

Others discussed, Tigers, Yankees, Aaron Judge, Mike Stanton, Juan Soto, Padres, Giants, Angels, Oakland A's, Canseco, McGwire, Rickey Henderson, Dennis Eckersley.

Steve postulates the biggest sports rivalry is Dodgers - Yankees outside of Lakers - Celtics.

I argue that Dodger fan can give a rip about the Yankees and they believe their hated rival is the Astros.

I explain to Steve that LA fandom in order is Lakers, USC, and then the Dodgers. He is not buying it.

We discuss the recency of Dodger rivals and if what Steve believes is true.

We give homage to the man that sparked Fernando-Mania.

Other names and topics mentioned: Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Mike Stanton, Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, Freddy Freeman, Shohei Otani, Mookie Betts, Los Angeles, New York

Apologies, I had some personal issues I needed to attend to and with all the travel and things going with both Steve and me, it just made it difficult to make things happen.

We discuss the advent of the Opener or Bullpen Game as the baseball playoffs are in full swing.

We discuss 1sts round QBs and I play a game with Steve having him give a quick score on 1st round QBs.

Steve asks me about VA coach Tony Bennett calling it quits.

Discussed: Dodgers, Willie Mays, Giants, Alex Smith Patrick Mahomes, Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford. Others

In light of Shohei Ohtani becoming the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases, Steve and I discuss the sports milestones during our respective lifetimes.

Steve for whatever reason has a blind spot when it comes to Randy Johnson and I have to remind him of all of Randy's accomplishments. And, that he is went to USC and grew up in NorCal.

Not sure how we have not explicitly talked about this yet, but the fan experience has changed over the Generations.

How we watch, where we watch, where we get information, the paraphernalia available, and all aspects of how we enjoy sports.
