We're officially (not really) halfway through the Premier League season so ESPN thought it was a good time to give out awards. We mock their picks (Kurt Zouma) and give our definitely (not) correct picks for all the major honors. We also discuss Liverpool's loss and commend Burnley's improvement over the course of the season before checking in on all of the teams in the title race including Leicester, Man United and City. We also checked on Chelsea and tried to figure out what's going on with their managerial position. Crystal Palace also receive loads of praise for the addition of Jean-Philippe Mateta .

Later, we talked all the football around the world including a big game for PSG against Montpellier, a chance for Frankfurt to gain ground on their top four rivals, and the madness unfolding in the race for the Brasilerao title as Sao Paulo lose control against Inter. As always, Liga MX gets some love as we check in on Santi & Juan once again and wonder whether Pumas might be hiding in plain sight. Finally, we wonder where Eddie Hearn found Canelo's next opponent and preview Conor McGregor's long-awaited return against Dustin Poirier in UFC 257.
