D for Vendetta (Ep. #94)

On this episode the guys discuss a wild week across the sports world. In the NFL, the Dildon(s) strike again—this time popping up at games. The Cowboys came up just short against the Eagles but showed signs of optimism, while the Giants' offense flatlined in Washington, raising questions about how long Russell Wilson will last as the starter. Josh Allen and the Bills pulled off a furious 4th-quarter comeback after a Henry fumble, and rookie JJ McCarthy delivered a dazzling debut with three late touchdowns to seal a win. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers outlasted Justin Fields and the Jets in a surprise shootout, Daniel Jones turned back the clock with his best offensive showing in years, and warning signs are flashing for the Dolphins, Giants, Panthers, Titans, and even the 49ers. Meanwhile, the Bengals nearly stumbled on opening day again, the Lions don't look the same, and CJ Stroud's struggles continue. We also make our Week 2 picks. In the NBA, “NBA on NBC” makes its return, but the big story is a salary cap scandal swirling around Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. Pablo Torre uncovered alleged secret endorsement deals and side agreements totaling $48M, tied to a firm funded by Steve Ballmer, raising questions of cap circumvention. Elsewhere, Josh Giddey signed a 4-year, $100M extension with Chicago, and Caitlin Clark is out for the rest of the season. Over in MLB, the Yankees are charging hard down the stretch—just two games back of both the division and the AL lead with 19 to play.
