Today we open the episode talking about the Christian McCaffrey blockbuster trade, John is underwhelmed, Dave has high hopes. Russell Wilson sucks, right? For a nice guy, is there a less likeable person in the world? Kanye West is back to pissing people off, Dave asks John how his outbursts affect how he listens to one of his favourite artists. Lance McCullers hurt his elbow during a post-season celebration, that's funny right? John didn't think so either. LeBron will end the season as the NBA All-Time leading scorer, why are people stanning so hard for Kareem Abdul-Jabar?

This title is about Dave, I don't think he's been this awkward on the pod, ever. Including our first episode. We open it up discussing Sunday's NFL slate of games, and the multitude of big time injuries that occurred this week. The Raptors season opened with a 1-2 start, but three good games, against good teams, we discuss what we think of the way the season has started, and how the team will fare without Scotty Barnes for the next few weeks. Jays officially hire John Schneider as their full-time manager, no longer the interim. Patrick Kane will be traded this season, but the longer it takes, are the Blackhawks hurting their tanking efforts? We finish, as always on Tuesdays, with our grievances and gratitudes.

Herschel Walker, famous for running the football, is running for Senator of Georgia, when does celebrities running for office go well, when does it go bad? Who do we think are the front runners for DROY and OROY after week 6? Superstitions, are they real, are they bullshit, do they transform your infant sons? All your answers are here! What is the etiquette for celebrations, are you allowed to pimp your accomplishments if you're a a part time player, or is that level of arrogance only acceptable once you've reached a certain status?

BREAKING NEWS! Two huge trades in Gibson's League, both orchestrated by The Mad Guys general manager Dave. We break that down, and what that might mean for the other teams now that The Mad Guys have stacked their line-up. Would fantasy football be more or less enjoyable if teams were managed by pairs or small groups rather then individually as it is mostly done now? Jon Hamm told someone else  story about a fantasy football punishment, and we regurgitate it for you in case you missed it. Is the media/social media intentionally painting Russell Westbrook in a horrible light for their own clicks, or why does there seem to be a strange obsession with how he's interacting with his teammates? Dave may not have ever been as angry about a grievance as he is about this one, and John doesn't like it when buttheads take advantage of the HOV lanes.

Draymond Green is a bad, bad man, and Jordan Poole tested him, bad idea probably. Draymond threw punches that looked like he was ready to take on Le'Veon Bell. Jamal Murray says the bubble was the purest basketball of his career, is that because he's undisciplined, or does he have a point? We go through some of our NBA thoughts before the season starts up with weekend. We run through some of the non sense thats been going on lately surrounding the Hockey Canada debacle. Who are all these people on the College Football sidelines? Why are they all there? Is no one worried for people's safety? Le'Veon Bellis getting ready to fight once promising UFC fighter Uriah Hall, get your african dancing funeral gifs ready, 'cause we don't see this going well for Bell.

John and Dave start todays episode going through what the found interesting about this week's slate of NFL games, including Dave watching his Steelers getting their teeth kicked in. John and Dave also faced off against each other in their fantasy football league, and things are not looking good for Dave. The Jays suffered one of the worst losses in MLB postseason history. What happened? Where do we go from here? On the NL side of the wild card round, Scherzer gets unceremoniously booed off the mound after giving up 4 home runs in Game One of the ML Wild Card round, after a great season for the Mets. Antonio Brown constantly making the worst decisions, honestly, does he have CTE, or what happened to this guy? What is the worst player/coach interaction you had playing sports as a kid? Then we end the episode with everyone's favourite segment, Grievances and Gratitudes of the week.

We give our way to late recap of Week 4 in the NFL. We discuss the unfortunate situation surrounding Tua Tagovailoa and a couple of concussions he's suffered over the past couple of weeks. Bobby Marks loves the Raptors front court, Big Baby Glenn Davis disagrees, we give our two cents about how we think the Raptors front court stacks up against the rest of the league. John can finally proudly wear his Arsenal jersey without fear of being bullied by 12 year olds, and he's really happy about it.

Today we start off talking about our favourite video/meme/gif's that make us laugh no matter what. Bryson Dechambeau gets laid out by a rope. OG Annunoby is so awkward interviewers look back fondly on the time Kawhi Leonard spent here. The Blue Jays do a great job pissing everyone off during post-season ticket pre-sale. Aaron Judge chases 62 home runs, people complain about not challenging him. Dave rants about how he wishes people would get over the steroid era and stop bringing it up.

In today's episode, John and Dave take turns venting about their respective football teams, and how they both suffered incredibly frustrating loses this week. While we are getting things off our chest, Dave vents his frustration after getting fucked over by someone he thought he could trust. Celtics Head Coach suspended for entire season after details of an affair he had with a female staff member are revealed to the public. How could he do "Lisa" like that? Robert Sarver is forced to sell his stake in the Phoenix Suns after the NBA completes their investigation into how he treats the Suns employees who are of minority background. Brett Favre is a giant asshole, stealing from his home state, and being really really dumb about it. In a shocking development, Dave has begun reading a book. Dave gets John to settle a discussion he had with his family about how if you would classify competitive Dance as a sport. We finish, as always on Tuesday episodes, with our grievance and gratitude of the week.

In today's episode, we hear John breathe a sigh of relief in real time as the Chargers have announced that Justin Herbert will more or less be fine. Just don't let the team doctor within 100 feet of his rib injury, isn't that right Tyrod? Dave asks why Chargers coach Brandon Staley seemed so defensive every time Herbert was brought up in the post game press conference. As referenced a moment ago, Tyrod Taylor is suing the Chargers team doctor for puncturing his lung last year when, ironically, he was dealing with a broken rib of his own and needed a cortisone shot. We then move on to the NBA and Kyrie Irving just constantly needing to talk to the media, no matter how often he makes himself sound like an idiot. NBA CBA negotiations are ongoing, a couple keys changes that look likely is a mental health designation similar to what they have for physical injuries, and lowering the draft age from 19 to 18.
