Summary

On today’s show, Pat, AQ Shipley, Darius Butler, AJ Hawk, and the boys chat about the breaking news that the Raiders have fired both Head Coach Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler, what this means moving forward, and everything else happening around the NFL as we prepare for week 9. Joining the progrum for an incredible conversation is NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, to chat about the growth of the game, how he handled the bounce back from the lockout season, expansion in the NHL, the Stadium Series, playing in European markets, getting their top players known more by the general public, and much more (28:36-56:45). Next, future Hall of Famer, 3x DPOY, Houston Texans Ring of Honor member, and friend of the show, JJ Watt joins the progrum for his weekly look at the best defensive line plays from the weekend, and to chat about his soccer club Burnley, and what they need to do to turn things around (1:05:33-2:00:27). Later, the voice and face of college football, Kirk Herbstreit joins the show to discuss the CFB committee’s first top 25 list, if he agrees with it, who is pissed, and why it ultimately doesn’t matter until December (2:07:02-2:13:11).
