NFL Week 13! College Football! College Hoop! MLB Lockout! F1! PFOTW!! Lasso!!

The guys cover a wide range of sports topics, starting with NFL Week 13 action. They celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles' recent success, quarterbacked by Gardner Minshew II, and note the unusual situation of every NFC East team being led by a backup quarterback. They discuss the tightening playoff picture, with teams like the Buccaneers, Packers, and Chiefs rounding into form, while also highlighting the surprising resurgence of the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots. The conversation touches on the Washington Football Team's winning streak and their upcoming crucial divisional games.

They shift to the ongoing Major League Baseball lockout, the first work stoppage in 24 years. The hosts present both the players' and owners' perspectives on the dispute. The players argue against team "tanking," advocate for reduced revenue sharing, earlier arbitration and free agency for younger players, and an increase in the luxury tax threshold. The owners, in turn, highlight their proposals including a minimum payroll per club, age-based free agency, increased compensation for younger players, and openness to a universal DH and a draft lottery system.

They also talk about NCAA college basketball, a budding rivalry in the NBA between the Suns and Warriors, and the dramatic conclusion of the F1 season with Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen tied going into the final race. The "Punchable Face of the Week" is awarded to Brian Kelly for his perceived insincerity and fake Southern accent, and the "Ted Lasso" segment celebrates Buck O'Neil's posthumous induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

A very special interview with The Undefeated's Jerry Bembry about the Rooney Rule and race in sports. It is dedicated to Jackie Robinson.

The hosts and Bembry discuss the ongoing challenges of diversity in professional sports front offices and coaching, particularly highlighting the NFL's lack of progress despite initiatives like the Rooney Rule. They compare the NFL's struggles with the NBA's more successful efforts in hiring Black coaches, attributing the difference to factors like younger, more progressive ownership and stronger player influence in the NBA.

The conversation also touches on the declining participation of Black players in baseball and the impact of integration on historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Bembry shares his experience interviewing Olympic medalist John Carlos, known for his activism. Later, the hosts delve into their usual NFL discussions, analyzing team performances, fantasy football woes, and making their "Plexico locks" picks for the week. The episode concludes with discussions on college football coaching changes, a heated NBA moment, and a lighthearted "Ted Lasso" segment on the National Dog Show.
