Wemby Dominates, NFL Implodes & the FBI Gets Involved

Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop deliver an all-out Sports Equinox episode of A Little Column A, A Little Column B — covering everything from the World Series marathon and NFL chaos to a breaking NBA gambling scandal. It’s one of the busiest sports weeks of the year, and the hosts bring sharp picks, fast-paced debates, and plenty of signature banter. The show opens with baseball heartbreak as they react to the 18-inning World Series thriller, Shohei Ohtani’s historic on-base streak, and how the Dodgers’ late-night heroics tested coast-to-coast fans. From there, they dive into a loaded NFL recap filled with betting locks, injury updates, and quarterback returns — including Lamar Jackson, JJ McCarthy, and Andy Dalton. Game-by-game breakdowns highlight what went right (and wrong) for key matchups: Ravens–Dolphins, Bears–Bengals, Vikings–Lions, Panthers–Packers, Chargers–Titans, and Patriots–Falcons. They reveal their “Bets of the Week” — Patriots -5.5 and Christian Watson Anytime TD (+225) — while warning listeners about potential upset traps. Mid-show, Will and Zach shift to college football and basketball. They debate coaching turnover (including Belichick-to-UNC rumors), preview must-watch college matchups, and spotlight freshmen like Cameron Boozer reshaping early NCAA buzz. Then it’s onto the NBA’s breaking gambling scandal, where FBI investigations, poker hustles, and league integrity dominate the headlines. The episode wraps with early-season NBA reactions — Wembanyama’s monstrous start, the Pelicans’ risky front-office moves, and which surprise teams (Utah, Chicago) are trending up. The hosts name their favorite emerging players — Cedric Coward, Aaron Gordon, and Austin Reaves — before closing with overreactions, predictions, and laughs about the madness of the sports calendar.
