Episode Description from the Publisher

With the return of MJ & Jackson, we began the episode with a bit of card collectors' jargon. As we agreed, if they make a profit in the end, we can't judge.Today, we began the episode with an NFL Week 1 review of both the Patriots v. Seahawks and the 49ers v. Rams. The crew had a lot to say about each of the losing teams, so tune in to hear their critiques! Joshua, Andrew, and Neil all shared their Super Bowl teams and award favorites. We then transitioned into a full recap of Week 1 of College Football. With the BIG 10 looking shaky in their first week, we turned to the SEC to highlight their best teams and who may emerge as a contender. Neil and Seth tested our new "Initials Game" (for your sake, skip round 1) in the battle of the ball knowledge giants. We then transitioned to an MLB end-of-season analysis, with a bit of an awards and Playoff preview.Jackson concluded our episode with the Women's FIBA World Cup as we recapped the US's successful run with what he calls "The Dream Team". As per custom, we went through our predictions with a concerning amount of UT hate as we ended the episode with a strong series of jokes.
