On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick note on the Houston Astros' Game 4 World Series win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Four Houston pitchers combined to no-hit Philadelphia, and while it is impressive, it's nowhere near as impressive as a single pitcher throwing a no-hitter. Plus, J-Mac gives us a quick preview of the upcoming college football showdown between the #1 Tennessee Volunteers and the #3 Georgia Bulldogs. In a stunning turn of events, almost all of the early money is on the Vols plus the points. And, should Tennessee win this one outright, quarterback Hendon Hooker should be the Heisman favorite. Later, author Jeff Pearlman swings by to promote his new book, “The Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson”. During the conversation, Pearlman discusses the difference between being a sports television celebrity and an ‘author’ celebrity, why just getting Bo’s blessing to write the book was more than enough – even if the two-sport star didn’t want to be involved with it himself, the levels of racism that Bo faced during his college years at Auburn, which of Bo’s legendary athletic achievements are the most unbelievable, how an unfortunate hip injury ultimately derailed Bo’s career as a professional athlete, the dark story behind the ‘Bo’ nickname, and much more! Finally, J-Mac closes the show with a very special Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.
