Jerry’s update delivers the audio from the Browns' comeback, Watson, the Rodgers-McCarthy drama, and Malik Nabers' faith in Jameis Winston. Finally, the Braves beat the Phillies to advance despite an uncomfortable exchange with Zach Hughes, and the Portland Trail Blazers hired—then fired hours later—a 29-year-old broadcaster over old tweets from when he was 12 and 15.

Jerry's update delivers highlights from Atlanta's victory and Michael Penix Jr.'s big game, before Cam Skattebo urges fans to "be lit" and BYU QB Bear Bachmeier claims his family sometimes eats dinner naked. We finish by breaking down Green Bay's poor start to the season.

Boomer eyes the over/under for Cowboys-Ravens in Rio and predicts a track meet, before the show reacts to the widely hated John Madden movie trailer and Brandon Jacobs' prostate health message. Jerry’s update features the Falcons dominating Green Bay, predictions for a high-scoring Jets game, NFL touchdown celebration fines, and George Lombard Jr.’s weird but effective slide into home. Finally, a caller questions the Jets' run game against the Packers, and the guys unpack the origins of the phrase "blowing smoke up your butt."

We start with potential QB options for the Giants—including Jimmy Garoppolo—though Gio doubts it makes sense given his injury history. Jerry’s final update brings George Lombard Jr.’s big homer and awkward slide, the White Sox celebrating a playoff berth, a game-changing roughing penalty on Green Bay, Michael Penix Jr.’s puzzling “but God” quote, Matt LaFleur questioning his offense, and Frank Reich breaking down Sunday's film. To wrap up, Cam Skattebo wants the crowd to be “lit,” the Moment of the Day imagines Al disappearing in a steam room, and the crew locks in their NFL picks.
