Max Kellerman and Ringer staff writer Anthony Dabbundo break down a wild week. LeBron and Embiid have Philly buzzing, but can the Sixers stay healthy when it counts?

The Knicks raised their banner and then lost on ring night to LeBron’s Sixers. Max Kellerman and The Ringer’s Kirk Goldsberry break down the upset, talking about how LeBron's finally playing quarterback in year 24 and the health questions hanging over every contender. Then Max names the best NBA player alive, ranks the greatest New York championships of his lifetime, and pitches a Rays-Brewers World Series like a kid raised on 1980s baseball.

Max Kellerman and former NFL running back LeSean McCoy take on the biggest stories in the NFL and beyond. Is Nick Sirianni a great coach or just elevated by Howie Roseman’s roster? Why are Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh seen as coaches who can do more with less? What has gone wrong for the 2-4 Rams, and is their talent enough to fix the missing pass rush, special teams mistakes, and self-inflicted wounds? Jalen Hurts’s medical situation also raises hard questions, and The Ringer’s Philly Special host Sheil Kapadia joins to sort through the timeline. Max and LeSean also size up Travis Hunter’s rise as a two-way star, the Jeremiah Smith vs. Calvin Johnson hype debate, the Cowboys’ endless drama, and much more.

Max Kellerman and Ringer staff writer Anthony Dabbundo break down a wild Thursday night. Sean Payton keeps it balanced, protects the ball, and takes down the defending champs, while Seattle’s two-to-one pass-heavy attack falls apart when it matters most. Meanwhile, the QB landscape is a mess. Jalen Hurts is out with a blood clot, Caleb Williams is limping on a torn hamstring, and Justin Herbert, once the next big thing, is starting to look a lot like Kirk Cousins. Then, the small-market Brewers sweep the Dodgers with a fearless bullpen and bats nobody feared. Ohtani’s October questions get louder, and the owners have a problem: “Small markets can’t compete” just took a beating. The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

Max Kellerman and former NFL running back LeSean Shady McCoy are here to hand out the blame. The Giants and Commanders tied, the NFC East is wide open, and McCoy lays out what’s really going on with Nick Sirianni and the Eagles after that kickoff decision. Max names this year’s Seahawks, and the debate is on. Then comes the question that splits the studio: Where does Jahmyr Gibbs rank among running backs right now, and can anyone top Bijan Robinson?

Max Kellerman and The Ringer’s Anthony Dabbundo break down a Thursday-night flop Max calls “the most goddamn hilarious thing.” The NFC East is suddenly anybody’s division, and Dak Prescott’s ceiling is up for debate. Then comes the question of the week: Is Brock Purdy the MVP so far, or just another product of Kyle Shanahan’s system? The Dodgers and Brewers are about to square off, and Milwaukee may have blown it at the deadline by passing on Tarik Skubal. Will it cost them this series? Before the show ends, Max unveils his plan to fix baseball’s economics. Will anyone agree? The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

Plus: The Giants grab sole possession of first place for the first time since 2015, Howie Roseman's Eagles stall without Jeff Stoutland, and Max talks Shady through the Brock Purdy game.

Was Terrell Owens the most unfairly covered star of his era? Max and T.O. take it on directly, years after T.O. told Stephen A. on First Take that Max "almost seems blacker than you." T.O. goes after Skip Bayless and the pundits who repeated his story, and he still says nobody has ever heard a teammate back it up. Then come the stories only T.O. can tell: signing a waiver to play Super Bowl XXXIX on a broken leg, and his lack of regret for skipping Canton. Plus: T.O.'s message to Deshaun Watson, the Week 4 slate, and Max's advice to C.J. Stroud: take the $50 million. So ... who's the best receiver in the NFL right now?

Max and Shady break down the Broncos' comeback against the Rams and the pass interference call that Pat Bryant admits he sold. Then they ask whether Denver can win a title with Bo Nix. Lamar Jackson needed only seven seconds to punish Dallas in Rio, Aaron Rodgers looks anything but finished for Mike McCarthy, and Max goes against the grain to defend Drake Maye. Plus: The Giants land J.J. McCarthy, Jalen Brunson's 'SNL' moment, and whether anyone still cares about Yankees–Red Sox in October.

Damien Woody joins Max to break down Bijan Robinson's 194-yard demolition of the Packers in Michael Penix Jr.'s return from a torn ACL.

Max and Rich went to Giants-Rams together, only for Max to push back his call that Jaxson Dart would be an elite quarterback by the end of the season after Dart's knee injury on the opening drive. They debate whether the Giants should trade for Shedeur Sanders or Mitch Trubisky and—given that Caleb Williams also went down (with a hamstring injury)—discuss why every NFL team now needs two quarterbacks who can win. Plus: Rich on why Tyrese Haliburton is right to fly Southwest on a $244 million deal and a debate over the best rap duos ever. The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.

Max and LeSean "Shady" McCoy break down the Bengals' 20-6 win over the Texans behind Ja'Marr Chase's two-touchdown day and dig into Patrick Mahomes—working back from a torn ACL and LCL—as still the best player alive rather than a guy on the decline. Plus: Aaron Donald ends a two-and-a-half-year retirement to walk back into the Rams' building just as Myles Garrett heads to IR for knee surgery and just before Monday's game against Jaxson Dart and the Giants. The guys also get into an all-time QB debate sparked by the Brady-Montana argument: Would either of them have made it back from what just put Mahomes on the shelf? Have a question?

 Max and Rich break down the Bills' 41-31 win over the Lions in their new stadium and dig into Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars as a real AFC contender rather than a dark horse. Plus: the Vikings' QB room is a bigger mess than JJ McCarthy alone (Darnold's gone, Murray's hurt, Wentz won the opener off the bench), and an all-time NBA debate sparked by Tracy McGrady's own words — would the Lakers have three-peated with him instead of Kobe?

If you’re just a listener to this show, Rich’s outfit today has to be seen to be believed. The guys start with the Pistons' impressive win in the Garden (8:29): Are they the team to beat in the East? If not them, who? And inspired by Cade Cunningham’s performance, and Zach Lowe’s first pass at All-NBA teams, Max and Rich run through who would be on their ballots (29:31). Then, today’s Five-Minute Max (39:40) starts with Obama and aliens and gets to New York and James Dolan, all while leaving Rich speechless! Later, story time from Tyronn Lue’s talk to the Cavs before Game 7, and a new edition of Get Rich Quick (52:14) on what’s really going on with Darryn Peterson. Email the show!

The guys begin with a conversation about hoarding that turns into a deeper conversation about life! Then, a dead spot in the sports calendar has led to more chatter about “you know who” (9:16), which leads the fellas to continue the ongoing “face of the league” discussion. That conversation stumbles into who the BEST player in the league is (26:10), and Rich’s answer may surprise you! Today’s Five Minute Max continues the tanking discourse, building on Mark Cuban’s contrarian take. And finally, the debut of Get Rich Quick (52:27), where we get a wealth of college basketball knowledge, including who to watch for heading into the tournament, the state of the blue bloods, and Mick Cronin’s outburst last night.

This year’s NBA All-Star Game was a win (5:05). Why? Was it the format or the players' attitudes? Max still thinks a tweak could make it even better. The dunk contest, on the other hand (19:10), didn’t go as well, but Rich still had some great stories from the weekend. Today’s edition of Five Minute Max (31:08) touches on baseball’s upcoming labor war and what the issues are. Lastly, the fellas talk about this bizarre Kevin Durant story, NBA role players, and their overall excitement for the stretch run of the regular season (40:43).
