The college football season has been nothing short of a whirlwind this season. Teams dropping out of the top-25. Surprising upsets week after week. Solid and overrated play on the field. It has been a fun season! Joe DeLeone from AtoZSports.com and the Ruffino & Joe Show podcast joined the show this week for a deep dive into the college football season. It was a great discussion!

From there, they got into how this Sixers team is absolutely fun.and entertaining to watch right out of the gate as they’re undefeated as of this recording. How would have thought? (Approx. 12:40)
Then they discussed how the Philadelphia Union have taken Major League Soccer by storm - something completely surprising this season. Can they truly make a run at the MLS Cup? (Approx. 19:40)
They also discussed how the Flyers have been looking early this season and the incredible emergence of Trevor Zegras and what he has meant to the team. (Approx. 26:50)
What they threw down on the Table this week was a great conversation with Joe DeLeone from A to Z Sports as they dove into a number of college football storylines. The fall of Texas and Penn State - how the rankings have changed. Who’s at the top of the Heisman Trophy talk at this point? Coaching challenges at LSU. How the Bill Belichick experiment in North Carolina has gone terribly wrong. All of this and much more this week on the Table! (Approx. 38:40)

Week 8 of the Philadelphia Eagles 2025-2026 season is now in the books as they beat the New York Giants by by a score of 38-20 at The Linc. This was the type of statement win this team needed right before their bye week. The offense was dominant. The defense was dominant. They are now 6-2 on the season and at the top of the NFC East division. This week, we were joined by Matt Rogers from the Honorable Mention Podcast.
We all wanted to see the offensive line “get right” this week. We all wanted to see Saquon Barkley have a dominant game. Both happened as the offensive line opened up tons of gaps for the rushing attack to flourish. Barkley rushed the ball 14 times and totaled 150 yards, plus he had a receiving touchdown. Tank Bigsby also rushed the ball 9 times for 104 yards. Jalen Hurts also threw for 4 touchdowns today as well. The Eagles offense was working on all cylinders. 
The defense was also playing at a high level this week. 5 total sacks and 7 tackles for a loss. Plus, Zach Baun could be the most dominant Eagles linebacker we’ve seen in quite some time: a sack, 2 tackles for a loss, two passes defended, and a quarterback hit. Vic Fangio had his defense ready to play this week!
As always, we gave our top themes, thoughts and opinions from the game on offense, defense, and special teams, plus we graded each unit to close out the show.

It’s our Philadelphia 76ers Season Preview Show! The guys dove into what we’ll be seeing from this Sixers team during the 2025-2026 season. From what Joel Embiid might and might not do on the court, to V.J. Edgecombe’s rookie season, to the growth of Tyrese Maxey, the guys dove into it all. Plus, this week, the guys spoke to friend of the pod, Daniel Esche from BrotherlyPuck.com about what we’ve seen from the Flyers early this season. It was a great discussion!
But first, the guys dove into their Sixers Season Preview by talking about the team’s floor and ceiling. Then they played their “Over/Under Game” that focused on Embiid, Maxey, and Paul George (Approx. 5:30)
From there, they got into the Sixers regular season record predictions as well as their predictions on who will make it to the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, and which team will be the next NBA Champion. (Approx. 32:35)

Topics Mike and Jeff discussed:

- Why the firing of James Franklin happened mid-season.
- What will Franklin’s legacy be when we are further removed from his tenure?

Week 7 of the Philadelphia Eagles 2025-2026 season is now in the books as they beat the Minnesota Vikings by by a score of 28-22 up in Minnesota. This was a “get right” game for this team, and while they did “get right” in some ways, they faltered in others. They are now 5-2 on the season and at the top of the NFC East division.
We’re continuing to see patterns of the offense still not being able to run the ball effectively. This is not a Saquon Barkley issue, but an offensive line and play calling issue. In this matchup, Barkley only averaged 2.4 yards per carry. Starting center Cam Jurgens' injury certainly didn't help. The passing attack, however, is what we’ve all been waiting for! Jalen Hurts put up amazing numbers and was probably the most poised we've seen since the Super Bowl. Devonta Smith and A.J. Brown had stellar games; Brown with two touchdowns and Smith with one. They absolutely dominated their coverage today.
The defense was up and down throughout the game, but the good news is that on the Vikings six trips to the red zone, the scored five field goals and only one touchdown. The lack of a pass rush is still very concerning, and we’re not 100% sure Brandon Graham coming back will help. 
As always, we gave our top themes, thoughts and opinions from the game on offense, defense, and special teams, plus we graded each unit to close out the show.

All of us Eagles fans have been asking the question: what’s wrong with the Eagles offense? The defending Super Bowl Champions are having difficulties running the ball, passing the ball, and scoring over 17 points in the past couple of game. This week, Shane Haff from the Eagles Pin-Pull Network joined the show for an in-depth discussion and breakdown of not only what we’ve been seeing this season, but what they can do to fix the problems. It was a great discussion!
But first, the guys first dove into some Listener Feedback about the Phillies and how enraging they were during the NLDS. (Approx. 5:55)
From there, they got into what the Phillies need to do in the offseason, as well as which players may be re-signed, and possible free agents they may look at. (Approx. 8:00)
The guys then talked about how the Sixers marketing team is going heavy on the nostalgia this coming season with the black Allen Iverson-era jerseys coming back, and the return of mascot Hip-Hop. Will this be enough to keep the fan base intrigued? (Approx. 22:00)
Can the Eagles rebound from two really bad losses over the past two weeks? (Approx. 29:35)
What they threw down on the Table this week was a great, in-depth conversation with Shane Haff from the Eagles Pin-Pull Network about how the Eagles offense is performing and what they can do to fix the issues we’re all seeing. What to make of an ineffective rushing attack. Is play design the real problem? Not utilizing motion properly. The biggest hurdle facing the offense long-term. All of this and much more this week on the Table! (Approx. 42:05)
