Carton and Friends, Corey, Michelle, and Gabe, open the program with Gabe in shock that someone bet $10,000 on the Raiders to win the Super Bowl this year; the guys agree that the Raiders' odds are nowhere near enough to bet anything on the Raiders to win it all. Carton brings up the fact that Terry Bradshaw does not like Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, which gets the crew arguing if Tomlin is not a good coach, or if Bradshaw was in the wrong for what he said. Former tennis great Andrei Agassi joins the crew in Studio 34 to talk about parenting, how his son is becoming a star baseball player, and how life has been since leaving the tennis courts.

Carton and Friends open the final hour of the show looking at how Alabama finally has a strong quarterback presence, and how Ohio State was able to barely cover the spread against Oregon State. The latest loss by the Yankees at the hands of a possible Wild Card match-up in the A's has Carton questioning if the Yankees will even make the playoffs at all. The video of a woman at the US Open dunking a chicken tender in soda, and eating it, has the gang questioning what they would dunk chicken fingers in, that's not Coke; the gang also gives Michelle a hard time for not knowing the spelling of Colonel Sanders. Now that Gabe, a life long Bills fan, is permanently in town, Carton and the gang look to get a group to watch the Jets take on the Bills at MetLife Stadium this year.

Carton and Friends open the second hour of the program talking about Nike making a genius move, in signing Colin Kaepernick as one of the faces of their brand, citing him as an athlete who is standing for something bigger than sports; Gabe calls it a big slap in the face to the NFL. The Nike ad campaign gets the gang talking about Kaepernick's court case, and how the genius move by Nike gives them the upper hand against the NFL. The news of Kaepernick has the guys remembering how tennis star James Blake was tackled by a police officer at the U.S. Open after being mistaken for a criminal. The gang argues why Colin Kaepernick is still not in the NFL, with Gabe saying, like Tim Tebow, is more a distraction than he is a good player. Gabe previews some of his NFL picks, and shows how to pick against the spreads. Michelle's social media update includes a story about Rob Gronkowski's girlfriend, Camille Kostek, talking trash about Jaen Ramsey

Carton and Friends, Corey and Michelle, open the program officially welcoming Gabe Morency to the crew, and thankful he is here for the start of the NFL. Carton loves that the Jets named Sam Darnold as starting QB, but had an issue with Todd Bowles announcing Darnold sounding like "someone shot his dog." The gang talks about the Raiders trading Kahlil Mack to Chicago, with Corey thinking it was a smart move, especially getting a few rookies in the deal, as well as adding AJ McCarron to back up Derek Carr. Craig says Andrew Luck is not a great as everyone has made him out to be, and Gabe and Corey tend to agree, though want to see how he responds from his shoulder injury. Gabe talks about moving to North Jersey, and how he has found his local bars to make late night bets, like the Hawaii-Navy game.

In the final hour of the week, Carton questions Michelle's political knowledge, specifically asking if she knows who Cynthia Nixon is. Evan Perlmutter, the guy who sold all his Knicks memorabilia and fandom on eBay, joins the show to talk about his transition from Knicks fan to Lakers fan; Corey seems to get along with Evan well, as his also a former Knicks fan who "sold his fandom" to another West Coast team in the Warriors. Michelle's social update includes the story of Tiger Woods saying he respects President Trump, and Carton says "you want the guy leading the ship to do well, no matter who it is."

Carton and Friends open the second hour of the program questioning the motives of disgraced Ohio State coach Zach Smith, after he blamed his wife, among others, for not thinking about his children in his abuse scandal. Carton thinks Odell Beckham is right, by saying he is like a "zoo animal," not in a racist way, but in a way that he is an entertainer, and that's why he gets paid the big dollars. Carton decides now that baseball season is pretty much over, he and the gang will transition from baseball picks to NFL and college football picks, and he wants Michelle to learn how to properly make her picks. During Michelle's social update, the gang likes how newly paid Aaron Rodgers showed some personality by dressing "like Bing Crosby from an old Levi's commercial."

Carton and Friends, Corey and Michelle, open the show question if LeBron James, who said on his TV debut "it took him awhile to warm up to white people...", is a racist. Corey and Carton argue that LeBron, since he learned he was a great basketball player, has been treated well by the white community, but Corey says it is still an issue black athletes, and just the black community, trying to get ahead; Carton thinks Corey just has not met the right people, yet. Looking at some big moves made in the NFL, Carton thinks the Jets moving Teddy Bridgewater to the Saints was a great move because it keeps him in the league, and also gives the Saints Drew Brees insurance. Carton responds to some criticism from Boomer and Gio host, Gregg Gionatto, saying it's okay to take shots at his expense, but he also should learn to be respectful.

Carton and Friends open the final hour of the show talking about how many DM's Michelle's outfit from yesterdays show generated. Carton explains that when it comes to college basketball, Villanova should be apart of the Philadelphia sports spectrum, but Temple, Drexel, and St. Joe's should be the teams that Phili fans should cheer for over the "Nova Wildcats. Talking more on the St. Joe's basketball team, Carton talks about how their mascot, the Hawk, needs to always be moving one of its wings while in public, otherwise the person playing the mascot will lose their scholarship. Carton thinks Cub owner Daniel Murphy answered perfectly when asked what his message was to gay Cubs fans by saying "I hope they root for the Cubs." Carton lets listeners know that he is thankful that Gabe Morency will be joining the program on a full-time basis starting after Labor Day. The gang finishes the show looking at Michelle's social updates, including Manu Ginobili announcing retirement.

Carton and Friends open the second hour of the program arguing over the lyrics to Michael Jackson's legendary song, "Billie Jean." Carton and Corey question why no one is picking Michigan to make it to the NCAA football Final Four, citing how they now have their quarterback in Shea Patterson. Corey says he hates Notre Dame football and Duke basketball, but also admits that Duke has a shot at going undefeated this season. Michelle's social update includes the list of Arizona sports figures attending the funeral of John McCain, including Larry Fitzgerald and Shane Doan.
