We get you ready for this weeks games and try to make sense of the possible outcomes. Lastly Eli Manning has been benched by the Giants. Does he appear to be on his way to the hall of fame someday?

Fandom...sports fans rooting for their respective teams and being there for the wins and the heartbreaking losses, but win or lose we remain loyal to our teams.

College basketball is back and Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski have been coaching at their programs for 30+ years! We take a look at the longest tenure coaches in college basketball and predict if it's possible for other coaches to replicate the longevity in this sport.

We're half way through this NFL season and the playoff picture is starting to take shape.

This NFL season has been difficult to pinpoint, but we try and make sense of the MVP race and how recent MVP winners are shades of themselves from their MVP winning seasons. Oh and we throw in a little World Series talk!

The big names keep falling in the NFL and the latest victim is Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a broken collar bone. Does this take the Packers from Super Bowl hopes to bottom of league? Will this expose how much Rodgers was responsible for their success?   Speaking of quarterbacks with bad shoulders....what the heck is going on with Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck? With this weeks latest setback, will we actually see him on the field this year?

In this week's episode we take a look at the teams in the NFL that started 0-2 and 2-0. Do we agree their records resemble their team? Can a winless team turn their season around? Is there a team lucky to be 2-0?  Granted we're only 2 weeks into the season, do we view our takeaways so far as overreactions or a preview of things to come this season.
