You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The MLB playoffs are coming into focus, and the people inside the game are making their picks. Executives and insiders are pointing to the Dodgers as the team to beat this October, but don't sleep on the Brewers, Yankees, or Rays — any one of them could make a serious run when the bracket opens up.
Shifting to the NFL, Week One delivered an absolute explosion of offense on Sunday. Ten teams cracked thirty points, but the headliners were the Bears with fifty-nine, the Ravens with forty-one, the Bills with thirty-six, and the Jaguars with thirty-four. Bill Barnwell is digging into whether any of that firepower is sustainable or whether we got a week of outliers.
And speaking of the Bills, wide receiver Stefon Diggs is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after his stint with a goal post cost the Commanders dearly. Washington dropped to zero and one after Diggs drew a costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty at a pivotal moment, and he gave a candid, unfiltered answer when pressed about it after the game.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
