The Chiefs dynasty ended in the worst way possible; a loss to a division rival to be eliminated from playoff contention and a Patrick Mahomes torn ACL. Disaster. (12:30) Philip Rivers looked… decent! After 4+ years off he was back to slinging footballs in the NFL. Wow. (27:30) The Mets weekend was something. Pete Alonso gets introduced for the Orioles. Edwin Diaz gets introduced for the Dodgers. And the Mets sign Jorge Polanco. (37:30) Review: Bugonia. (41:00) NPPOD. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
