Despite the numerous injuries effecting the Giants so far this season, they FINALLY got back to their winning ways this past week over Carolina 25-3! (2:29-18:30) Danny Dimes is still proving to be a great QB for the G-Men, but can he and the team keep this up moving forward? Being a 2-5 team and being 1.5 games back from the 2nd NFC Wild Card Spot is still not a great look, and makes us revisit the question from past weeks, "Do we keep playing to try and keep the season alive? Or do we hang it up and try for a high draft pick in 2022?"

As we talked about in Episode 6, the NBA is BACK, and the Knicks are looking great out of the gate! (18:30-30:30) Knicks have opened the season with a 3-1 record and sit atop the Atlantic Division after huge wins over Philly, Orlando, and a HUGE 2 OT win to open the season against Boston! So far the off-season signings in Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier are paying off, Fournier making the highest impact of the two averaging 19.0 PPG and 32.5 minutes p/g.. Even some of the returners not named Julius Randle are having an influence on the outcomes so far, RJ Barrett averaging 12.5 PPG and Obi Toppin shooting 57% from the field. Now we've seen this early energy before in previous seasons, so we all know not to hold our breathe.... but it is fun to see and ELECTRIC MSG whenever the Knicks are winning!

Finally, a moral and ethical dilemma among the boys at New York Sport of Mind... would you keep Tom Brady's (Austin's former lord and savior) 600th passing touchdown ball, or give it back for perks. A question that many have been asking themselves since Mike Evans made the unfortunate mistake of giving the ball away in their game this past week against Chicago. (30:31-41:46)
