This week we dive into one of the wildest NFL Sundays yet — Week 4 brought insane injuries, jaw-dropping performances, and shocking upsets that flipped the league on its head. From the biggest highlight-reel moments to the most brutal “what just happened?!” plays, we’ve got you covered, pun intended. On the hoops side, we’re breaking down the WNBA Commissioner’s comments making waves on the timeline, plus the latest on the Kawhi scandal and how this isn't the first time something like this has happened. And of course… the fellas check in on their weekly binge-watch marathon on The Wire and The Sopranos.

The boys are back breaking down a wild week in sports (and way beyond). Dixon and Tyler dive into:
• Chiefs somehow still bad despite squeaking out a win
• Colts + Danny Dimes?? Dark horse Super Bowl contenders??
• Travis Hunter not living up to the hype (yet)
• Justin Herbert—way too early for a crown
• Caleb Williams’ comeback moment
• Packers laid an egg

Then things get real weird…
• A UFO that brushed off a missile??
• A symbiote growing on TikTok?? Yeah… we’re serious.

And to close it all out:
Sopranos + The Wire watch-along recap (where the guys are at so far).

It’s sports, chaos, and culture—Hits & Hoops style.
