Today’s word of the day is ‘unthinkable’ as in a baseball game that went way after midnight as in Shohei Ohtani being dropping fifth in a lineup as in the 3-year anniversary of October 7. The Dodgers won Game 3 on long balls from Kiké Hernandez and Freddie Freeman. Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched another gem. But something is wrong with Ohtani. (19:25) The San Diego Padres were finally able to hold off the Milwaukee Brewers. It got scary in the 9th, but they extended the series! (31:50) NPPOD. (36:20) Review: Couples Weekend. (40:15) The NFL referee’s union has fired back at the NFL after two officials were suspended. Oh boy. (47:20) Tyreek Hill shouldn’t be signed. There have been reports about him talking with teams. But here’s why it isn’t worth it.

Karl-Anthony Towns wants a new contract from the New York Knicks. And the Knicks have offered him well below what his max deal would be. He is not pleased. Does a championship get him to the number he wants? (11:30) Giannis says things are different now. Heat Culture is real. And he is buying into it. (19:20) Ken Kendrick likes to be involved with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks would be better off if Ken Kendrick was slightly less involved. (29:00) Now we move to the Colts ownership. Carlie Irsay-Gordon is the owner of the Colts. And she’s involved. You can catch her on Sundays being on the sidelines with headset and notepad. (35:30) Did Colorado State really fire its defensive coordinator during a game? (39:08) The merger is happening today. Skydance is here. Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery is no more.

Today’s word of the day is ‘ugly’ as in the Yankees as in the Yankees defense as in the Yankees base running as in the Yankees. What a mess last night was against the Rays. In what should have been a close game got out of hand when the Yankees made three first inning errors and then what should have been two more later on in the game. Just sloppy. (24:50) The White Sox magic is still there! The Guardians looked like Game 2 was theirs and then some hits some pitches some runs later, and the White Sox were in the lead! (34:30) Review: Finding Emily. (38:00) NPPOD. (44:00) We need to talk about the Red Sox end of season presser.

What a weekend in sports. We finally get to football! Two incidents happened between players and refs that need to be discussed. The NFLPA is PISSED! (9:37) 49ers owner Jed York has been suspended for six games and fined $500K for his arrest earlier this summer. Patriots owner Robert Kraft got caught doing the same thing, and crickets! (13:28) Commanders owner Josh Harris was not thrilled about the team playing in London. Uh oh. (21:18) Mike McDaniel needs to go. His tenure with the Chargers is a disaster. (26:00) Tony Romo is out at CBS. He’s still going to get paid, but the once golden goose of broadcasting, who signed a 10-year, $180 million deal, is gone with four years left on his deal. (33:30) Steve Ballmer is getting a new lawyer. (37:35) Dave Portnoy is out at Big Noon Kickoff. What a mess. Supposedly Ohio State does not want him around.

Today’s word of the day is ‘technology’ as in replay as in statcast as in the Brewers as in the Padres as in Ty France. The Padres thought a go-ahead home run and the ball hit the roof? What!? Jackson Chourio got to Mason Miller in Game 2 and the Brewers are one win away! (15:50) ABS in the postseason has been crazy. So many challenges, so many overturned calls. (20:20) The Atlanta Braves took Game 2 agains the Los Angeles Dodgers for the split. Atlanta went with an opener in Game 2. The Dodgers went with Blake Snell, and it didn’t go well for him. (25:30) The Yankees almost got no-hit by the Rays. Drew Rasmussen pitched a game to remember. A big moment was with Austin Wells, the Yankees catcher.
