Alex, Jesse, Jon, and Josh offer their weekly musings on the world of sports with a teaspoon of nonsense. They recap a wild first Sunday of NFL football (6:53) including another Lions heartbreaking loss, the wild Steelers-Bengals ending, and Jon's Dolphins win over Ali's Patriots. Hove leads the group in a brief exploration of Malcolm Gladwell's weak link vs. strong link sports (13:33), the crew delves into the nuances of the underdog story (24:15), and why we're drawn to the underdog in sports (32:29). The guys offer their Qualin Award nominations (40:24), and finish the show with a round of Start-Bench-Cut focused on the worst field goal misses (fictional and actual) in history (45:35).
