Jay and Dre start the 2018 NFL season with two nights of previews, beginning with their post-Labor Day show looking at the NFC.  Both have leaked a couple of spoilers already, with Dre having picked his Super Bowl champ before last season ended, and Jay liking Chicago to make some noise even before the massive Khalil Mack acquisition.  But what else do they have in store for this conference, and what do they think of the defending champion Eagles?

This NFL preseason has been highlighted by the maddeningly inconsistent rulings by the zebras as they try to call the new helmet rule as they see fit.  What will happen to the sport this year and beyond if regular open-field tackles that happen to involve contact with the helmet are at risk of being flagged?  Jay and Dre discuss with Renard from Football Fan Rush Radio.

It's back-to-back weekends of inductions into the IMLD Halls of Infamy.  This weekend, the NFL gets the spotlight treatment.  It's not about Ray Lewis and Randy Moss, but rather people and events the league would rather not acknowledge.  Dre holds court and puts five new members in.

The winds of change are in the air all around baseball, with Manny Machado going to Tinseltown being the largest move.  Jay and Dre discuss the second half in MLB, and they also chat about a game-changing deal Jay made in his high-stakes fantasy league.

The boys take some time after the holiday to catch up on their lives.  Camping trips, baseball games, medical visits, out-of-town getaways--it all gets discussed.  And as always, Jay and Dre don't mince words when talking about unpleasant experiences.

As the Cavaliers and Warriors play Game 2 of the NBA Finals (and J.R. Smith continues to wonder what the score is), the guys return for another show.  With sports gambling poised to become legal in all states, not just Nevada, how big is wagering about to become?  Will sports media become dominated by betting advice and tout service ads?  And how long before you can take your child's education fund and double it on a Jaguars 2nd-quarter run/pass bet from your cell phone?

Jay and Dre catch up on the sports world.  The NFL once again sets its sights on putting its laborers in their place, surprising teams and top-notch individual players highlight MLB through its first two months of the season, and in the NBA, Golden State and Cleveland overcome road Game 7s to clash in the Finals for the fourth consecutive year.  And all of this can be legally bet anywhere in America, at least it will be someday soon.
