Grading the World

WARNING: UNBLEEPED PROFANITY AND LOTS OF IT
Joe Manchin ruins what little Trump had left; Tik Tok, bombs, and parenting; the NFL's international marketing "plan" and how the Rams made out like Raiders; a Jacksonville trifecta of Urban Meyer, Charlie Strong, and Trevor Lawrence; Kyrie Irving's impending half-return, and chasing the carrot of herd immunity.

Technical difficulties, Bill Belichick possibly being a time traveler, Joe hates short passes, the WNBA pay gap, Peng Shuai and money over ethics, ritual and holidays, F1 101 and money over ethics II, the Blazers' plan for Damian Lillard and why he should be Matt's favorite player.

The death of reproductive rights in the USA, anti-vaxxers eating dirt, Neil Olshey fired for being a jerk, COVID, opiods, college boosters, Antonio the bleep Brown, athletes in mental health crisis. Bonus: Motorama, perhaps the weirdest movie ever made.

...and why it doesn't belong on the Thanksgiving table, Pats-Titans, Jason Garrett and head coach/coordinator dynamics, the business of sports in China and the WTA's failure, Lebron James' busy week, and Aaron Rodgers' COVID toe. Also: is SEO killing journalism?

The beauty of college hockey, the disappearance of Peng Shuai, no justice for Joseph Rosenbaum or Anthony Huber and the horrifying and disheartening reaction from conservatives, the red-hot Patriots and Bill the genius, the value and necessity of elite running backs, NBA GMs cry foul on the Neal Olshey investigation but exactly zero people step up to defend him, and NBA surprises.
