Reese, Pam and Alex discuss if Mike McDaniel will keep his job, this weekend's NFL games and more.

Last night in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens dominated the Miami Dolphins, winning 28-6 last night on Thursday Night Football. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made a strong return after missing the previous 3 games, throwing four touchdown passes and leading Baltimore’s offense. The Dolphins struggled throughout the game, repeatedly reaching inside the Ravens’ 35-yard line but failing to capitalize, coming away with no touchdowns due to poor red-zone execution and costly turnovers. Will Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel be there next season? Will he even last to the end of this season? What games in the NFL should we be watching this weekend?

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry made headlines when he declared that LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward would not be involved in selecting the university’s next head football coach, even adding, “Hell, I’ll let Donald Trump select it before I let him do it.” And now, AD Scott Woodward has been fired. What's the latest?

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the Ravens’ dominant win over the Dolphins, whether Baltimore can turn its season around, the uncertain future of Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel and the latest upheaval at LSU following the firing of AD Scott Woodward and Governor Landry’s controversial remarks about the school’s next head coach.

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Browns’ disappointing season, whether giving Shedeur Sanders playing time would make sense for Cleveland and if stepping into a struggling franchise is even the right move for the young quarterback at this stage of his career.

The Cleveland Browns are 2-6 and sit at the bottom of the AFC North division. Because of the Browns’ abysmal season, there has been discussion of Shedeur Sanders potentially getting some time on the field under center. At this point, should Shedeur Sanders even want to play?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Lamar Jackson’s return to the field, whether the Ravens can turn their season around with him back at quarterback and what’s at stake for Baltimore if they miss the playoffs.

The Baltimore Ravens are getting back their superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson tonight in a game against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football.

Will the Blue Jays close out the Dodgers tomorrow night in Game 6 or will the Dodgers force a Game 7?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the World Series, Governor Jeff Landry’s bold comments about LSU’s coaching search and more.

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 last night, moving one step closer to a World Series title. Los Angeles struggled to generate any momentum, managing just one run as Toronto’s pitching and early power display put the game out of reach. With the win, the Blue Jays now have a commanding 3-2 lead in the series. The Dodgers face elimination tomorrow night. Can Los Angeles force a Game 7?

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry made headlines when he declared that LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward would not be involved in selecting the university’s next head football coach, even adding, “Hell, I’ll let Donald Trump select it before I let him do it.” What do Reese, Kmac and Pam think about this?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Governor Jeff Landry’s bold comments about LSU’s coaching search.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry made headlines when he declared that LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward would not be involved in selecting the university’s next head football coach, even adding, “Hell, I’ll let Donald Trump select it before I let him do it.” He criticized Woodward’s history of handing out massive, guaranteed coaching contracts that later became financial burdens for LSU and other programs, citing the expensive buyouts for former coaches like Brian Kelly as examples of what he called “rewarding failure.” Landry said that, instead of Woodward leading the search, a committee formed by LSU’s Board of Supervisors, many of whom he appoints, would oversee the hiring process. What do Reese, Kmac and Pam think about this?

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss the Blue Jays win over the Dodgers.

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-1 last night, moving one step closer to a World Series title. Toronto jumped out to an early lead when Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit back-to-back home runs on the first and third pitches of the game, setting an aggressive tone that the Dodgers never recovered from. Rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage delivered a dominant performance for the Blue Jays, striking out 12 batters to set a postseason rookie record and completely silencing the Dodgers’ offense. Los Angeles struggled to generate any momentum, managing just one run as Toronto’s pitching and early power display put the game out of reach. With the win, the Blue Jays now have a commanding 3-2 lead in the series. The Dodgers face elimination tomorrow night. Can Los Angeles force a Game 7?
