SPICY EPISODE HERE!! What if the struggles of your favorite sports teams could be changed by a simple tweak in leadership? That is being a Chicago Bears fan. We dissect the high-stakes decision-making of head coach Matt Eberflus and the essential role of a strong team culture and why the Bears' management must make decisive action to prevent future disappointments.

We go through a few NFL talking points but focus on Anthony Richardson. Sean is disappointed in the decision to bench him. Regardless if he took himself out of the game or now. 

MLB Postseason pressure is real, especially for the New York Yankees' Aaron Judge, and thats how we close the episode. The legacy of Yankees legends is built in October, and we compare current struggles to the triumphs of past icons like Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera.
