Timestamps Approximate:

After a bit of politics we kick off in Football Fancave (06:05) Owen talks the Cardinals showing some life, as Rodgers and Brady show signs of withering, the Bengals get a big win, the Giants continue to roll and some fantasy notes.

In Combat Corner (11:50) Max talks Islam Makhachev's dominate 2nd round finish of Charles Olivera to become UFC Lightweight Champion, breaking down the fight, speculating how long Islam's been the best for, and the nightmare it means for the rest of the division. Also why it sucks that Dillashaw stayed in the fight, scoring Yan vs O'Malley, and give Dariush a dang title shot.

BBall Storylines () we dive into the first week of the NBA for as many bad premature takes as we can get after. Talking Pascal Siakim's offensive steadiness in the Toronto Raptors first 3 games, the Phoenix Suns get revenge on the Dallas Mavericks with no CP3 off some great play from Booker, despite Luka Doncic and Christian Wood having a big first game. The Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat win that saw the Celtics take the win leaving behind some questions with Tatum for MVP as their main answer. Other thoughts on the starts for the Pelicans, Jazz, Spurs and Max breaks down his favourite play of the week.

Wrapping up with some quick Talkin' Hockey (55:00) on the Leafs and Tennis Talk around the ATP's 250 winners this week.
