Description

In Hour 1, GoJo and Golic serve up a triple scoop of sports excitement. They kick things off by delving into the latest happenings in the MLB Division Series, dissecting the Arcia-Harper controversy and explore if the current playoff format should be changed. They turn their attention to the NFL, dissecting the performance of all the struggling 1-4 teams and assessing whether any of them have a shot at turning their fortunes around this season to give a sprinkle of hope for fans of these struggling franchises. GoJo and Golic wrap up the hour with a discussion about the upcoming game between Washington and Oregon. This matchup is loaded with pressure and rivalry, making it a must-watch game.

[02:22] – Drama in the Clubhouse
Kicking things off, GoJo and Golic discuss the current state of the MLB playoffs, including the fiery drama surrounding Orlando Arcia's trash talk against Bryce Harper's base-running performance. Will this drama affect the series? Plus, the Dodgers getting swept in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years and the Diamondbacks' home run frenzy. Should the playoff format change to accommodate more competitive teams? The Mets' woes continue. GoJo says bring back the single-game wild card. On a lighter note, they applaud their friend Katie Nolan's advancement on Celebrity Jeopardy.

[23:03] - NFL: Teams in Peril
Moving on to the NFL, GoJo and Golic address the plight of the 1-4 teams. They focus on the New England Patriots, with Mac Jones under scrutiny, and Bill Belichick's decision to stick with him as the starting quarterback. They also look at the struggling Giants, Bears, Broncos, Cardinals, and Vikings. Golic isn't optimistic about their chances for a quick turnaround, while GoJo places some hope on the Cardinals.

[34:50] - NFL: Thursday Night Football Preview
With Thursday Night Football on the horizon, they preview the upcoming game, discussing Travis Kelce's questionable status due to an ankle injury and whether the Chiefs should consider resting him, even though their offense revolves around their star player. Is it possible the Broncos stand a chance if Kelce isn't playing? With the Broncos having the worst overall defense, GoJo and Golic explore what's plaguing the team and how it can no longer be blamed on Russell Wilson.

[47:18] - NCAA College Football Showdown
Lastly, they shift their focus to college football and the exciting match-up between Washington and Oregon. This rivalry game is rife with pressure. They delve into the odds on DraftKings Sportsbook for the Heisman Trophy and highlight quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix, who've only been sacked three times each so far. With 34 NFL scouts reportedly attending the game for these two transfer QBs. Golic leans towards Washington, and the match-up could hold the fate of the Pac-12 Conference.
