About this listen

In this episode, the guys dive straight into the fallout from NFL Week 2, starting with the surprising number of teams already sitting at 0-2. They quickly write off the seasons for teams like the Bears, Jets, and Titans, but spend a good chunk of time debating the Kansas City Chiefs' rough start. While some think the Chiefs look old, House argues they've simply lost their moxie and are missing key offensive weapons.

The Giants also come under fire for their poor defense and coaching miscues, while the surprising 2-0 Colts get a nod for their hot start behind "Danny Dimes". The controversial "tush push" also sparks a debate, with Bison reversing his stance, saying it's just not interesting for the game.

The conversation moves to college football, where the transfer portal isn't living up to the hype for high-profile QBs like Nico Iamaleava and Arch Manning. After Tennessee suffered a heartbreaking OT loss due to what the hosts call "coaching malpractice," the crew questions if Georgia is as dominant as in past years. Milk has resigned himself to misery, declaring coach Billy Napier has "destroyed" QB DJ Lagway and will be fired within weeks. They also call out the absurdity of 0-2 Notre Dame still being in the top 25 polls.

"There is nothing worse than an amputated spirit." - Patrick Mickler

Wrapping things up, the episode tackles the significant off-the-field controversy surrounding the LA Clippers, owner Steve Ballmer, and Kawhi Leonard. They break down the allegations of circumventing the NBA salary cap through a sham company - a story brought to light by podcaster Pablo Torre—and praise his investigative work.

They also cover their weekly NFL and college football betting picks before concluding with "lassos", including Jared Goff paying off school lunch debt and Bills' coach Sean McDermott buying a house for a childhood friend who protected him from bullies.
