                                                                                   17:26 Fred and Art examine the difficulties faced in sports as we continue to battle through this pandemic, questioning whether indoor sports should even be played at this time.  Where does that leave the Super Bowl in LA and March Madness?  Why is Novak Djokovic at odds with Australia, what happened between Antonio Brown and Tampa Bay, and should Aaron Rodgers be considered for MVP?

                                                                                   17:36 Fred and Art discuss what they feel is becoming more prevalent in the world of sports - the attitude of entitlement.  What happened to the love of the game and duty to the fans?  The guys have a lot to say about Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, the almost Holiday Bowl, and bid a sad farewell to a true NFL legend.

                                                                                    21:12 Fred and Art comment on how decisions made one week are called into question the next when it comes to players and Covid.  Will Kyrie Irving be allowed to play amid restrictions?  Did Adam Silver and Bruce Arians make the safest decisions for their teams?  And how about more field time for JT Daniels?

                                                                                   21:24 With Covid running rampant through sports right now, Fred and Art speculate whether or not there will be a Super Bowl.  How about the fast-approaching college football Bowl Season?  Can NCAA Basketball look forward to March Madness?  What does the future hold for Russell Westbrook?  And what happened between Urban Meyer and Josh Lambo?

                                                                                    19:51 Fred and Art have a lot of ideas as to why the Lakers have had such a tough season.  From Frank Vogel and LeBron James to egos and age-related injuries, there’s much work ahead to ensure a better 2022.  In college football news: will Chip Kelly rejoin the Oregon Ducks, is the transfer portal a good thing, and who’s taking home the Heisman?  

                                                                                   22:16 Fred and Art wonder why Antonio Brown has been suspended by the NFL, but Aaron Rodgers hasn’t in the continuing Covid saga.  A lot is happening on the college coaching carousel with Brian Kelly heading to LSU and Lincoln Riley joining the Trojans, and the MLB lockout is sure to bring changes for the 2022 season.

                                                                                    18:15 Fred and Art are ready to settle in for a long holiday weekend of sports.  This football season has been a roller coaster for both the NFL and NCAA, and more surprises are likely in store before it’s over. The Chargers have a great QB in Justin Herbert, there’s a heartbreaking revelation out of the University of Michigan, and Mark Few’s Gonzaga team is showing great promise.

                                                                                  22:26 Fred and Art have a lot of gridiron turf to cover this week - from players gaming Covid protocols, to owning a chunk of your favorite NFL team, to NCAA award nominees, to cross-town rivalries, to the great college coaching shuffle – and you have front row seats on the 50-yard line.

                                                                                  20:47 Fred and Art are concerned about what they believe has been poor officiating in the NFL recently, and the impact this could have on the players.  Aaron Rodgers and State Farm aren’t as cozy as before, and Mark Davis has brought DeSean Jackson, who can be controversial, onboard in Las Vegas.  Will it help the Raiders?

                                                                                  23:58 Fred and Art discuss the turmoil happening in the NFL - Aaron Rodgers has Covid, after being less than truthful about his vaccination status (spoiler alert: he said he was vaccinated when he wasn’t), Henry Suggs was let go from the Raiders and is facing prison after a devastating crash, and there are hard Covid safety decisions to be made for the Super Bowl.  Will Chip Kelly stay at UCLA?

                                                                                   17:56 Fred Wallin flies solo this week, offering some theories as to why the Dodgers lost in the NLCS. Shouldn't Gavin Lux have been allowed to play where he could best help the team?  Did Atlanta just play better baseball?  UCLA Basketball is looking good, LeBron James and the Lakers are in a slump, and hockey has a lot to answer for when it comes to Kyle Beach.

                                                                                   20:10 Fred and Art believe it’s all hands on deck for the Dodgers if they want to stay in the race for the pennant.  They’ve been running through pitchers, trying to work around all of the injuries, and Julio Urias has let Gavin Lux know he was less than pleased with him.  Coaches Ed Orgeron and Nick Rolovich have been shown the door In college football - what’s next for LSU and Washington State?
