Summary

In this episode, Brenda Elsey, Shireen Ahmed and Lindsay Gibbs analyze various playoff and postseason structures. But first, they share their 2021 Halloween costumes. Then, they dive into the various meanings of "postseason," breaking down the overlapping and crossover tournaments of European leagues, how different postseason styles impact men's and women's leagues, as well as predictions for 2021 World Series Champs. Following this discussion is a preview of Brenda's interview with Dr. Jennifer Doyle about the culture and systems that allow sexual assault in sport to exist. Then, they burn the worst of sport this week in the Burn Pile. Next, they celebrate those changing sports for good, including WNBA Champions, the Chicago Sky and MVP Kahleah Copper. They wrap up the show with what's good in their lives and what they are watching in sports this week. This episode was produced by Tressa Versteeg.
