We kick off in the football fancave (02:53) where Owen describes everything he hated about what the proposed Superleague would take away from European Football. Which shows why the fanbacklash was so high as to make it fall through.

In Combat Corner, Max previews each of the 3 title fights on UFC 261: Valentina Shevchenko vs Jessica Andrade (11:17), Rose Namajunas vs Zhang Weili (17:21)and Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masvidal 2 (22:37).

Talkin' Hockey celebrates Patrick Marleau becoming the all time NHL games played leader (30:44). But mostly consists of two Toronto Maple Leafs fans crying about this cursed franchise (34:16).

Baseball Bit talks Red Sox atop their division(43:43), usual Blue Jays coverage (44:48), , the LA Dodgers are the best team in the league (46:21), Oakland Athletics winning 11 straight (47:02).

BBall Storylines covers an increasingly interesting Eastern Conference with the New York Knicks and Julius Randle winning 8 straight and sitting 4th (49:02). While the race for 10th heats up with the Wizards picking up 6 straight and the Bulls dropping out, with the Raptors in the mix (51:35). We also go #1-10 in our MVP Rankings (57:21). And end the show with an NBA Top Shot Pack opening (01:05:27)
