Bomani and Charles discuss whether Hurts is capable of elevating an offense that continues to struggle, what Philadelphia's problems mean for its Super Bowl hopes, and why the Eagles might be more entertaining off the field than on it.

Plus, the guys react to Bijan Robinson's incredible performance against the New Orleans Saints and debate whether he's become the best running back in football. They also examine Michael Penix Jr.'s development under Kevin Stefanski, the San Francisco 49ers' showdown with the Seattle Seahawks, and why Aaron Glenn's struggles have become a major problem for the New York Jets.

Elsewhere, Bomani and Charles discuss Josh Allen's turnover issues, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams, Sean Payton taking back play-calling duties in Denver, and the controversy surrounding Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon's presence on the sidelines.

Bomani Jones and Joel Anderson dive deep into the college football landscape, starting with Alabama and Georgia and what their matchup could tell us about two of the SEC’s biggest contenders. They discuss Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell’s talent, Georgia’s roster-building philosophy and why it can still be difficult to know exactly how good the Bulldogs are until they’re truly tested.

Then, Bomani and Joel turn to the Red River rivalry and the widening talent gap between Texas and Oklahoma, including how the Sooners’ move to the SEC has changed the expectations and challenges surrounding the program. They also debate the best players and teams in college football history, including Jeremiah Smith, Randy Moss, the dominant 1995 Nebraska team and the loaded Florida State teams of the 1990s.

Plus, they examine Deion Sanders’ tenure at Colorado, why the program’s problems go beyond Coach Prime and how the transfer portal and modern roster-building have changed the job of a college football coach. Joel also remembers former TCU head coach Dennis Franchione and his role in helping revive the Horned Frogs program.

The Atlanta Braves had a 2–0 lead in the 1996 World Series. Then the New York Yankees flipped the series—and baseball history. Bomani Jones and Howard Bryant revisit the Braves’ heartbreak and the championship that launched a Yankees dynasty on this edition of Time Machine Tuesday.

From Andruw Jones’ two home runs in Game 1 to Jim Leyritz’s game-changing homer off Mark Wohlers in Game 4, Bomani and Howard explore how Atlanta’s shot at back-to-back titles slipped away. They discuss Joe Torre, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and how George Steinbrenner’s suspension helped set the foundation for New York’s resurgence.

Plus, Bomani reflects on growing up a Braves fan, the greatness of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz, and why Eric Gregg’s infamous strike zone in the 1997 NLCS still isn’t forgiven
