Arguably the best sports month is on the horizon and so is the latest edition of the podcast as I deliver all of the goods on what the universe has to offer. On deck:

(5:45) After I explain why October is one of the best sports months of the year and a brief rundown of what to expect on the podcast, I get into history being made in Toronto as Aaron Judge has tied Roger Maris for the all time Yankee and American League single season home run record. Is the pressure off now that he's tied the record? Will he surpass Roger Maris on the final homestand over the weekend? Then, there are the Mets. Looking listless as they were about to get swept by the Marlins, down 4-0 in the bottom of the 7th, they came roaring back to win 5-4 in 10 innings to re-take the NL East lead over the Braves. Now they head to Atlanta with the division on the line as they'll go head to head with their rivals to see who'll have the leg up to get a bye in the first round of the postseason. I'll discuss the AL wild card race (not much happening) and the NL (lots happening) as Milwaukee may have the inside track with an easy schedule down the stretch to sneak into October, while the Phillies have all road games the rest of the way, including three down in Houston to close out the regular season.

(24:50) With just about a quarter into the NFL season, the Week 4 schedule has a few good games. We have a good start to the weekend with Miami visiting Cincinnati in the Thursday night game. But the big one is Sunday night in Tampa (or not, due to Hurricane Ian) where the Buccaneers will host the Chiefs. There's a possibility that the game could be moved to Minneapolis because of what the storm may do to that part of the city. How a different locale to this Super Bowl rematch could end up being a disappointment for the viewer at home? Plus, the rest of the schedule including the first game in London between the Vikings and Saints and why I'm not a fan of those games?

(34:51) There are a few interesting college football games on the docket this week. Michigan-Iowa is one to keep an eye on. Same for Alabama-Arkansas. Even Oklahoma St.-Baylor, Kentucky-Ole Miss and can NC State hang tight with Clemson on Saturday night as two teams in the top 10 go at it?

(38:56) Training camps have opened up throughout the NBA. I'll share some early thoughts on the reunion in Brooklyn with Steve Nash & Kevin Durant, the Ben Simmons factor on this Nets team. Is there a rift between Suns coach Monty Williams and center DeAndre Ayton? Could this be a breakout season for Zion Williamson and the Pelicans? Bulls guard Lonzo Ball is facing another surgery to his already surgically repaired knee. How that will bode well for him and his teams fortune this upcoming season?

(46:16) And the NHL preseason has begun as the regular season will begin next Friday in Prague, between the Predators and Sharks, with October 11th being Opening Night for the 2022-23 campaign.
