Kicking off in Football Fancave (06:57) Owen gives his recap of week 5 of the NFL. Which most prominently saw the Buffalo Bills beating the Kansas City Chiefs, labelling the Bills as real super bowl contenders and the Chiefs in big trouble so far this season. Aside from that the league seems to be returning to the mean as lots of favourites win this week, while early upstart teams such as Carolina and Vegas are fading.

In BBall storylines (14:50), we start with the clickbait stuff as news comes through that Kyrie Irving won't be allowed to play for the Nets unless he gets vaccinated, while Ben Simmons and the 76ers finally get in the same room and on the same page. We also have a primer on the Toronto Raptors based on what we've seen this preseason.

In Talkin' Hockey (30:09) we start with some contract talk as Barkov, Suzuki, and Zibenejad net big extensions. Then we get to our season preview, as we reveal our picks for the top 3 teams in each division as well as wildcard teams. Exchanging our reasoning and thoughts on each team we think will succeed and some we think will falter. Also we agree which trophies McDavid will win, and make our picks for the ones other players have a chance at.

Wrapping up with a quick Baseball Bit (01:21:34) Owen talks about the Red Sox upset over the Rays, and other MLB Playoff action.
