What is going on everybody? And welcome to another episode
of the Huddle Within podcast. Thank you very much for tuning
into another episode today we'reback with the latest and
greatest Sporting News. We've just come off NBA overs
and unders for both the East andWestern Conference.
Super, super exciting. Obviously a lot to get through 4
(00:22):
hours. So for anyone that has listen to
the full thing, thank you very much and I hope you really did
enjoy that episode. Did take us a while to record.
Obviously Kenny waking up in themiddle of the the morning.
Shout out to him and Nathan of course.
That always puts out very good NBA opinions and content as
well. And if you do like episodes like
(00:42):
that, feel free to check it out after this episode as well if
you haven't already. And if you do leave a five star
review and subscribe if you enjoy the content, we'd be
greatly appreciated as well. So on that NBA train, the season
has just begun and man, what what a start.
Like we have so many over performing players this week,
(01:06):
which which is crazy. And I don't know if it's because
there's a lot of players that are out with injuries or that
players have just become crazilyskillful and they've had really
nice off seasons and they're super keen for the season to
start because we've had a 50 plus point performance from a
lot of players. We've had it from Aaron Gordon,
we got it from Austin Reeves, which are players that you don't
really expect to get to get thatthat point so early.
(01:28):
And then Austin Reeves today just came off a 41 point
performance as well. So that's back to back averaging
around 47 points, which is crazy.
Now they don't have Luca, they don't have LeBron, so there's
someone that needs to take the scoring load there and Austin
Reeves has definitely done that.But that's spectacular in
itself. Lauren Mark and then just have
51 points as well. Shays had a 50 bomb.
(01:49):
Yeah, it's been it's been incredible.
There's probably a lot more thatI'm missing out on, but at the
start of this season it's going crazy.
I did a take for the Chicago Bulls.
They haven't lost the game since.
So I've been getting stick from a lot of my Bulls friends
telling me that I was very wrongin that opinion.
But I am going to stick by the unders because they still
(02:11):
haven't played any W teams. And once they get to the the
road tour for the West, I think they're going to have the
struggle, but they're sitting atthe top comfortably 3 and oh,
and another team that's also three and oh is the Philadelphia
76ers, who with VJ Edgecomb, he's looking like an early
rookie of the year. He he's killing it.
They're calling him the generator.
Unbelievable nickname. I'm a massive fan of that
(02:33):
nickname, the generator, coming from the fact that he actually
grew up living off a generator, which is an inspiring story
enough shows that he's putting his blood, sweat and tears into
basketball and it's proven dividends so far in his rookie
career. I think he's the first rookie
for Philadelphia to have that that score of 34 points.
I'm pretty sure it was in his first game, which which screams
(02:55):
records to me because I can't remember the last time a rookie
debuted with 30 plus points. He's definitely going to be in
the record books for that. So he's having a great a great
start and so are Philly and I think that will be good with
him. So he's coming out to be a
better player than probably a lot of people expected coming
out the gates and early contender for rookie of the
year. At the moment, the Spurs are
four and O and my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
(03:19):
The stuff that I'm seeing from Victor, when Benyama, dude, he's
going to be, I'm calling you now.
Victor Wenbanama will get a quadruple double this season.
I'm calling it points, assists, rebounds, blocks.
He will get it. He will be the first in a long
time to get a quad double. You can just feel it, the way
(03:42):
he's playing. If God could give him the grace
to stay healthy, we're looking at one of the best ever
basketball players of all time. The way he's going, if you've
watched his highlights, I'm talking two blocks, get the ball
in transition, step back three, which he step back is equivalent
to five steps for me doing the same shit.
(04:04):
And in another game he's he's doing the same back to back
blocks, gets the ball and is pulling up from mid midcourt for
three, swishing that basket. He can score on any levels.
You can't stop him in the pain, and if you see him in the key
defending, you are getting away from there as soon as possible
because he is going to block your shot.
He made Anthony Davis look silly.
(04:26):
Zion probably did the best job on him.
But after that posterizing dunk,Wendy got him back with about
four or five blocks. It's insane.
This bloke is insane and the wayhe's going right now, he's going
to be a clear MVP winner. It's it's crazy #4 pick in our
fantasy. He's looking the best by far.
It's honestly like Wendman, Yama's a fucking alien.
(04:47):
He's that good. And if you don't enjoy
basketball, if you've never watched basketball, just watch
him and the San Antonio Spurs and you will be amazed the shit
he is doing at his height. He's got KD level scoring, he's
got Giannis level physicality. Yeah, it's yeah.
I don't know what it's like. I could sit here and talk about
Wimbunyama all day. He's he's an alien.
(05:08):
He's completely insane. The stuff that he's doing, like
insane. Like I I'm impressed and man,
it's so good to have the NBA back.
We just having some really good storylines.
We've got some surprise good starters, the Bulls,
Philadelphia 76ers in East and yeah, it's it's going great.
As for the Wizards, they get their first win of the season
(05:30):
against the Dallas Mavericks. They get an embarrassing loss to
the Charlotte Hornets where Lamala Ball just got a triple
double tortured us. He had 3813 and 13 I'm pretty
sure. But I'm seeing good flashes in
Trey Johnson so far. He's averaged over 15 points in
every game and that that's impressive.
A good scoring punch off the bench for us.
It's going to be sooner rather than later that he gets inserted
(05:51):
into the starting lineup. Alex Saw has picked it up
massively. He's looking really, really good
as well. And OK, he didn't play good the
last game, but Keyshawn George is looking incredible as well.
And I'm so happy to see that because I did expect him to take
a massive leap this season and he's doing really well.
We got 34 points in our win against Dallas.
(06:12):
He shot really efficiently. He he's our primary ball
defender right now and he's putting up offensive numbers.
Like watch out. I think we're looking at our
potential franchise player. As crazy as it sounds.
I know maybe I'm jumping too early, but as a Wizards fan,
you've got to get excited when you can see young potential
talent. And I see it within SAR.
I see it within Keyshawn George and I see it within Train
Johnson. The one person I'm not seeing it
(06:33):
through, unfortunately. And I really like his
personality and I really like his tenacity, but it's not
working out for him at the moment is Bob Carrington.
And I am starting to get concerned because I think we
might, he might lose the starting spot.
He's a really good player. He's a young guard.
It's going to take him time to figure it out, especially
playing as a point guard. But when you look at the other
rookies or the sophomores now performing how they are and Trey
(06:54):
Johnson coming out the gates hot, it's really hard to make a
case for for Bob Carrington to to really justify his starting
spot. The veterans CJ McCollum and
Chris Middleton not playing too good, but you need them
starting. I think they're their trade bait
for contending teams. I think they're gone before the
All Star break and the more minutes to play, the more
exposure they they will get. The Utah Jazz are playing well
(07:16):
as well. Speaking of our I guess W
counterparts, in terms of records last season, they're
undefeated at home and they are currently as I look at my phone,
they're two in one. They smashed the Clippers in
their first game and as I mentioned, Laura marketing
getting 51 points today against the Phoenix Suns that went to
overtime. They're doing great.
So yeah, all positives on that front for the Utah Jazz.
(07:38):
They're making my pick look silly at the moment.
But again, it's still early. We don't want to be premature
for anything. But at the moment I'm loving the
season so far. And NBA is so bad.
Fantasy NBA is also so bad with all these high level
performances as well. So yeah, NBA is really excited.
Jump on it every single day. You can't, you can't go wrong
with basketball like that. That should happen to every,
(08:00):
every single day. But we'll move on.
We'll get on to the Premier League news.
United get their third win in a row, defeating Brighton 4/2.
I think up to when Brighton scored, it has been our most
complete performance this season, especially at home.
It was the first time we actually witnessed Old Trafford
proper buzzing. But a few miss, I think wrong
(08:23):
decisions and substitutions. A terrible impact made the game
closer than what it was. It was 3 nil going into like the
77th minute until we subbed off Casamiro and we brought on Dolgu
and we brought on Kobe menu. Ahmad also got subbed off and it
really affected us. I think they didn't.
They lacked control of the game.The midfield wasn't as balanced
(08:45):
and you could see that we're really missing Casimiro and
again, for everyone that criticises Casimiro, being
overpaid, too old, doesn't have the legs.
He stabilises that midfield and I think he's really important
for us this season. If we can get him on a cheaper
deal, I would prefer to keep himgiven how I'm not real confident
on our midfield. And as much as I love Kobe, man,
who just doesn't seem like his heart's in it at the moment
given all the transfer speculation and the lack of
(09:07):
playing time, Dog has come on and made a mistake.
I think he's young. I think you've got to give him
time to sort of and forgive him for that.
But Ahmad was electric as always.
But talking about electric, the stuff that I've seen from Kunya
and and Bueno has been impressive.
Boomer gets two goals. Kunya gets his first goal at Old
Trafford. You can see the quality in
(09:28):
Premier League proven players when we sign these guys and
they're ready, they they're taking the challenge on and
they're killing it and it's making United very exciting once
again. Le Mans is killing it as well.
It's good to have a stable goalkeeper and Bruno Fernandez
is finding passing patterns between those two and Cisco
maybe hasn't been involved in the goals necessarily but he's a
presence up there and he distracts 2 centre backs.
(09:50):
He's tall, he's combating, he's fighting, he's battling and and
I really like what I'm seeing from him so far.
Obviously if we see goals attached to his name it looks a
lot better but United 3 in a rowon top of Liverpool, which is
funny because those guys were the favourite to to win the
league. Thinking of doing a podcast with
the boys, They're ducking me at the moment, they don't want to
get on but I'm going to make sure that they have a chat about
(10:11):
this because I think it needs tobe addressed.
What is going on with Liverpool Football Club?
They've lost four of their last five games.
They've lost three I think Premier League games in a row.
We're talking Crystal Palace, United and now Brentford, which
is piss poor from them, like really bad.
They lost Galatasaray as well. And you thought after the five
(10:32):
one win against Frankfurt that come out with full confidence,
but Brentford just dominated them.
Like there was a consolation goal from Salah, but Brentford
were with a much better team andLiverpool didn't perform well at
all. And I haven't been.
And yeah, I don't know what's going on.
I don't know if it's slow, I don't know if it's trying to get
all these new signings and pieces together.
But something needs to to sort of change for Liverpool to turn
(10:53):
this around and win the title. And by all means, I can sit
there, laugh at them and give them shit.
But I think come end of the season they will be better than
us. And I really, truly believe that
this team will click. And once they do click, I think
they're going to be a threat foreveryone in the league as well.
So can't rule out Liverpool yet.I'm happy at what I'm seeing.
It's giving me joy, it's giving me satisfaction.
(11:15):
It's crazy to think that we would ever be ahead of Liverpool
in a Premier League season the way the two teams are, are set
up on their depth. But it's happened and I'm going
to ride to the end. We beat them two, one at their
ground, which is looking amazingand it it looks like we've
crumbled them. And yeah, we're two games off
the United guy to cut his hair, which is also good.
But two tough games. You've got Nottingham Forest
(11:37):
this week away from home. They're freaking struggling and
like I told you, it's not. The grass is not always greener.
Changing managers. As much as Sean Deutsch is a
good coach when it comes to keeping teams up, I don't
understand the move. Are they trying to stay up in
the Premier League? They literally just got into
European football. Why have they downgraded to such
(11:58):
a manager like Deutsch? Maybe it suits their team, I
don't know. But I'm confident United will
get the win against Nottingham Forest.
It will. It is away from home and it will
hopefully set up our fourth in arow in a row to get that
eventual fixture against Tottenham, which will come up in
two weeks. Can United win five games in a
row and cut the man's hair off? I don't know his name but he's
(12:19):
the United super fan that obviously has his hair too long.
Liverpool take on Aston Villa and Aston Villa just came off A1
nil win against Manchester City which was a surprise.
Liverpool are playing at home atAnfield and this is a must win
for them. If they don't win this game they
are going to be in massive trouble.
I think Man City's struggling once again.
(12:40):
Don't know what the goal is withthem because you never really
know until Christmas hits. They they start firing on all
cylinders but they don't obviously look the same either.
But yeah they they take a loss. Another team that takes a loss
is Sunderland. I mean not Sunderland they lost
to Sunderland. Chelsea losing to Sunderland in
the 90th minute. And and what a story they are.
They are currently 4th on the ladder and Bournemouth are
(13:02):
second on the ladder who are also firing in all cylinders.
And fun fact, the last time United, Chelsea, Man City and
Liverpool were not in the top 4 by round 9 it was 1992 and I'm
pretty sure that was either the year before the Premier League
started or the first ever Premier League season.
So that is a crazy start in itself.
(13:22):
The fact that Bournemouth and Sunderland are in the top 4 is
amazing. Bournemouth play some really
good football. I did expect that.
Sunderland, what a story. And now we can be then get our
fingers wrapping around and palmour hands to the excitement of
them taking on Newcastle, which is going to be an unbelievable N
(13:42):
Derby, which will be yeah, interesting.
Who's going to win that? I don't know now, because
Sunderland are freaking firing. Granted Shaka is looking like an
unbelievable ad. You've got some experienced
players such as Mookie LA and I think it's Ronaldo, the left
back. They're they're experienced,
they're doing well. And he said, though upfront he's
killing it. He killed in the Championship
(14:02):
last year and he's he's putting up to the Premier League.
It's it's great to see and it's a great story for Sunderland.
We all know the embarrassment that they had the double
relegation and the Sunderland tool I died documentary.
Let's all be honest, we all laughed at it.
We all gave them a lot of stick,but they've come out and have
been killing it 4th on the table.
I think it's simply incredible. Will it last?
(14:23):
Don't know. Same with Bournemouth.
I do think Bournemouth is poisedfor a European spot.
I think they play really good football and their coach is is
incredible. They've got Semenya who's a
star. They've got set piece
specialists and players that cancan do a job there.
So I'm I'm very confident in Bournemouth.
I think Bournemouth are are a great team and it's only going
to get better when they get their new stadium.
It's only going to get better when they continue to get wins
(14:45):
as well and the club that has maybe 9000 people in their
stadium to do that, simply incredible.
And yeah, we love it. We love when Bournemouth
support, we love a team that kills it so well.
And as I look at the fixture, itseems as though they're going to
be taking on Manchester City, sothat's going to be an
interesting one. Can Bournemouth take points away
from Manchester City? If that's the case, then
(15:07):
Bournemouth are a serious contender.
We're expecting City to bounce back and get a victory because
it is at the Etihad Stadium, butwe'll be looking at that one
big. That is going to be a very big
game and that is a Sky Sports feature game.
The Sunday morning 3:30 AM for our Monday morning, 3:30 AM for
us, the Sunday afternoon featuregame on Sky Sports will be that
match. So that's going to be
incredible. But we can't not speak about the
(15:29):
league leaders Arsenal. They are winning the league set
piece. FC Gabrielle contributing to
every single goal that Arsenal been a part of in every set
piece is is simply incredible. You've got to make an argument
that he could be one of the greatest set piece attackers in
the Premier League, which which is crazy.
(15:50):
I know there's a lot of set be specialists but every time
Arsenal put a ball in the box, whereas that Declan Rice curling
with cross, Gabrielle always seems to win the header, whether
he's heading it back into dangerous play to set up someone
else for a goal or scoring for himself.
It's simply incredible the stuffthat Gabrielle is doing.
I think he he's not, he doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Obviously, I think it comes fromthe offensive side, his defence,
(16:12):
he does have a mistake or two inhim, but I think he's having an
incredible season and he's really contributing to Arsenal
winning the league. You look at the goal today and
the other day, the head up straight to as a against his old
club great. And I love as AI love his faith.
I love how he always celebrates to God as well.
That's that's always special. So every time I see someone like
(16:33):
as they score goals, I feel goodabout life and it feels it feels
great to see his faith demonstrated on the big stage
too. But Arsenal with Liverpool and
Manchester City struggling, havea big chance to finally win the
league and I think this year hasto be the year they do it.
They're not going to do it in a way to play pretty football, but
they're going to probably be a defensive unit, a set piece
(16:53):
specialist team as as they've had that reputation.
Call it boring as you will, but results matter and I think any
Arsenal fan will take a result here to win the league and all
the Arsenal fans I'm talking to,you guys know who you are.
You should be excited for this because it's been a while since
your club has won a Premier League trophy and it would be
(17:14):
big if they did. And I'm kind of rooting for them
because I do feel as though thatLiverpool and Manchester City
are going to be competing for the title.
And as a United fan, I don't want to see none of them near
it. I don't want to see Liverpool
get 21 titles to overtake us andI don't want to see City, a baby
club to us. They're never going to be as big
as we are, go on top of of them and win another Premier League
(17:35):
title. So yeah, I'm rooting for Arsenal
and especially if City and Liverpool lose their matches,
which they're both at home, theyshould win.
But Aston Villa come off a big win against City and Bournemouth
on fire. You never know.
But the Premier League's back aswell.
We're nine games in. We're going to hit week, game,
week 10, which feels like it's gone so fast.
But we're just in November, so plenty of football to go.
(17:57):
So as we sit there and make these assumptions and
predictions right now, you neverknow what changes are there as
well. Just wanted to take a moment to
thank you guys for tuning in to another episode of the Huddle
Within podcast. If you do enjoy episodes like
this or this episode specifically, be sure to leave a
comment and a five star review wherever you do get your
(18:18):
podcasts. It'd be also great if you could
like and subscribe wherever you do get your podcasts so we can
continue to show this out to people that see sports exactly
the way that you do. But without further ado, let's
get straight back into it. We'll move on to sad news.
The NFL and the New York Giants cannot catch a break.
(18:38):
They they get a loss to the Eagles and the main story of the
night is scatter boost breaking his leg.
It's like that team was so fun. It's sad.
It actually hurt me in the heartand I feel for New York Giants
fans. I feel for Wendell, I feel for
Kenny, who were really excited to see New York football back on
(18:59):
the map and Giants performing asthey were and they lose their
best receiver and they lose their best running back.
The Giants, the Giants, it's going to be another sad year for
them. I think we're praying the best
and speediest recoveries to scamto Cam Scataboo, who he brought
the league some personality on fire.
(19:20):
You could see all his teammates tapping in on the shoulder.
You can see the impact that he have that he had on his team.
It's sad. It's truly it's truly emotional
and it's it's really not fair for the Giants because they're
fine. They've got Jameis Winston,
that's fine. They've got Scatterboo who's a
beast. They have neighbours who's
unbelievable. And I think they have their
future quarterback in Jackson Dawho is just a stone cold killer.
(19:42):
I think he's going to bring out his inner Anakin Skywalker the
way things are going. But I'm praying those two come
back because if they do come back and they're the players
that we've seen in those flashesand then we're looking at a team
that can easily win the NFC East, in my opinion.
But in other news, the BaltimoreRavens get a win back against
the Chicago Bears. The Chiefs beat the Commanders,
(20:07):
Apache Mahomes has suddenly arrived, and the and the
Indianapolis Colts. What a story.
Jonathan Taylor. Has to be the best running back
in the in the league right now and I can't.
I can't believe that. Like he's on fire, like I've
been talking about him every week, but Jonathan Taylor has
been absolutely killing it and it's unbelievable.
They get a victory against the Titans.
They smack up the Titans, who I think Cam Ward is a big concern
(20:31):
for rookies as I bring up the highlights, a big concern for
the rookies. I just want to bring up quickly.
Jonathan Taylor's run, so 153 yards, 2 touchdowns.
Unbelievable. Daniel Jones might get comeback
play of the year because he got ridiculed in New York Giants and
he's come to the Colts and has got them to a record of 6 and
one. And they topped the the NFC I
(20:53):
think yesterday to the AFC. Sorry, they topped the AFC with
seven and one. Close behind them are the
Broncos and the New England Patriots.
The Broncos snatch up the Cowboys.
So good to see when they smash up the Cowboys.
As much as I love George Pickens, I do not like the
Cowboys so I'm glad they took a loss there as well.
The Bengals, they choke it against The Jets.
(21:13):
The Jets get their first victory.
What happened to The Jets? Got a given credit there.
Bruce Hall had a massive rushinggame.
And as much as I've given Jets shit, I felt really good for,
for Justin Fields, who came out and obviously praised the Lord
and thanked the Lord for the victory and, and said that he
was crying in the basement and got emotional.
And stories like that are very inspiring and it makes me root
(21:35):
for the guy. I really hope Justin Fields can
can really help the The Jets go somewhere because he seems like
a good guy and they get the win 3938 in a in a big shootout.
But you thought the Bengals weregoing to win it, but The Jets
came back and got a victory and I really liked their their coach
Aaron Glenn. I think he's a really nice
coach. He came from Detroit.
He did a really good job there. And yeah, we'll take that.
(21:57):
In other news, as I check out the rest of the games here, the
Bills are doing well. The Dolphins get a win back.
That's great. Jaylen Waddle had a good game.
But my fucking Saints 23 to three.
You're telling me we you can't, we gave up another touchdown,
we're in big trouble, We are in massive trouble.
(22:18):
We're looking at trading Rashid Shaheed it seems, and Crystal
Laba is also on the trade block.They said that they're not
available but I really think they're taking calls for them
because it's time for the Saintsto blow it up.
I don't know why they dropped Spencer Ratler.
He's definitely not the issue. I like that they've given Tyler
show a chance, but Rattler is the guy for me.
I think Ratlet has proven that he's good enough.
(22:38):
The defence, the online not goodenough at the moment and yeah,
we're just not clicking. The receivers are not doing good
enough either. And I don't know what happened
to Alvin Kamara, man. He's on my fantasy team and he's
not performing and that's not helping me and that's not
helping the cause for the new onSaints.
We are going to be very shit fora long time it looks, and it's
(22:59):
hard to even just give the time of the day to talk about them.
So we're going to move on quickly to the upcoming games.
We have the Ravens taking on theDolphins Thursday night,
Minnesota taking on Detroit. Minnesota, another team that are
struggling. You can see that Sam Darnold
losing him was a big impact. But I do expect the Detroit
Lions to win the game. We have the Cardinals and
Cowboys, Monday Night Football, Seahawks and Commanders.
(23:21):
Seahawks should win there. Smith and Jigbar hopefully can
come back, but I think the game of the round has to be the
Kansas City take on the Buffalo Bills, the the biggest rather in
the AFC. Can the Bills take on a very
good performing patching? Mahomes at the moment who's
who's just gone back to his greatest form?
I think that can I think they'llget the victory here, but it'll
(23:42):
be tough. And we also have the
Indianapolis Colts taking on thePittsburgh Steelers, which is
always going to be a big test for them.
We're looking out for the Colts.They're very exciting to watch
right now and I think they're going to be a very big player in
the AFC as it presently stands as well.
But yeah, I think that pretty much wraps up the NFL.
We'll look forward to the next games and review them all
(24:04):
because I think they are going to be very exciting.
That's ramping too. We're close.
We're at the halfway point nearly and playoffs is going to
come sooner than you know it because NFL season doesn't go
too, too, too long. But yeah, NFL big fan.
Hard to watch all the games given that redstones at 4:00 AM
here. They're just trying to keep up
as much as we can. And to finally wrap up, it
(24:25):
wouldn't be a Sports News show without some F1 and some
wrestling F1. Lando Norris takes the lead in
the drivers championship, defeating winning the the Mexico
Grand Prix. A bit of a fishy virtual safety
car conveniently happened 2 lapsto go while Oscar Pierce she was
(24:45):
about to take overtake Ollie Berman and Max Verstappen was
about to take overtake Charles Leclerc.
It's quite fishy I I am safe to assume that McLaren are
favouring Lando Norris, which isdoing my head in as a biassed
Australian but also just makes it not fair.
Oscar's been the better driver all season and feels like
(25:07):
Lando's getting handouts. That's really pissing me off and
not making me enjoy F1 at the moment.
And we're getting no opportunities for for Piastry
and Verstappen to overtake on a virtual safety car.
It's it's quite fishy for me. But yeah, it's ramping up.
I'm, I'm hoping Oscar wins. I'll actually take Max
Verstappen winning over Landon Norris right now.
And I used to love Landon Norris.
(25:28):
I was a massive fan. But now the way that McLaren's
treating him and, and putting him as the favourite and as the
as the poster child, it's still my head in.
And I don't think it's fair. And I really hope that they,
they turn this around and they let them race because I think
letting them race will truly determine who the best driver
is. And I think it's Oscar Piastre.
A lot of people think it is and if not, it's Max Verstappen.
(25:51):
Of the three, you would argue that Leather Norris is clearly
the worst of the three. So yeah, we don't want to see
that. We'll be continuing to to follow
the races as it's 5 to go. And I'll I'll be watching that
definitely in the background as it gets as it gets tight and and
close to to the end of the season and some WWE talk.
To wrap it off, we have Saturdaynight's main event.
(26:14):
We got the world heavyweight championship match between CM
Punk and Jay USO. The title is vacated as Seth
Rollins did get injured tearing his rotator cuff obviously
forced the Vision to split up. Do I want Jay USO to win?
No, definitely not. I think CM Punk should win this
match. I again wasn't happy with the
booking that gave Jay USO this match.
(26:36):
LA Knight definitely deserves tobe in it.
So yeah, as much as Jay USO is over by the fans, I don't think
he's championship, world championship worthy as much as I
do like him and I think we're over J so going for the title.
So hopefully he doesn't win it. We've got Cody Rhodes taking on
Drew McIntyre. There have been some signs that
Cody Rhodes could be turning heel, so look out for that if
you are new to WWE. We might see a Cody Rhodes heel
(26:58):
turn. He's currently the face of the
company, but they're in the rumblings of that.
He takes on Drew McIntyre. I expect him to win still Cody
Rhodes, But yeah, we'll have to wait and see.
And then finally, for the matches that have been booked
right now, we've got Jay Cargilltaking on Tiffany Stratton for
the Women's WWE Championship. Jay Cargill has turned heel as
well, so that's also exciting. I expect her to win the title so
(27:20):
she can kick off her heel run, which has just started.
So yeah, there's still a Smackdown to go and a roar that
I have to catch up on to get thelatest news on wrestling.
But again, that's extremely exciting as well to get on
Saturday night's main event. John Cena has three matches to
go. So John Cena is nearly done,
which is crazy as well. He's had an unbelievable career.
(27:42):
He's to me the GOAT of wrestlingand I think the undisputed GOAT
at the moment with 17 world titles to his name.
So yeah, he wraps up for the year almost.
We've got Survivor Series after this.
So that's the five on five war games, which is exciting and I
don't know what to go of war games is going to be, but we'll
keep out for that as well. But yeah, that pretty much
(28:04):
roughs all the Sporting News fortoday.
So thank you so much for for listening to another another
podcast. Just want to show you my Yahoo
merch that I've got. If you're watching the video,
this hoodie is super nice and they've given me this cool bump
like so shout out to them. But I just want to show you what
what it says when you do. It might be some material in the
(28:24):
future to use when something excites me, like if I hear good
news or if someone talks in a good take with a guest, I can
just slim up and go. Yeah, but that pretty much wraps
it up. Sorry for being so distracted.
But again, if you did enjoy thisepisode, subscribe.
Whether you do get your podcasts, We do weekly news when
(28:47):
there's not a specific topic there.
I try to address the weekly Sporting News, this one longer
than usual, given that we don't have any NBA unders and overs,
but we're looking to bring on more guests as always and bring
in some more. Check insurance with the NBA,
with Kenny and Nathan, also withLiverpool, hopefully begin that
soon. And also an NFL.
I think mid season wrap up is something that we might be doing
(29:09):
sooner rather than later as well.
So lots to happen on the huddle within again, the studio is is
coming soon. We're we're working on it.
If it might be a webcam, if I can get a good studio going,
I'll look to opt into that as well as an option if we can get
face to face guests to come in. But yes, keep out for all this
stuff. But again, thank you for

What is going on everybody? And welcome to another episode
of the Huddle Within podcast. Thank you very much for tuning
into another episode today we'reback with the latest and
greatest Sporting News. We've just come off NBA overs
and unders for both the East andWestern Conference.
Super, super exciting. Obviously a lot to get through 4
(00:22):
hours. So for anyone that has listen to
the full thing, thank you very much and I hope you really did
enjoy that episode. Did take us a while to record.
Obviously Kenny waking up in themiddle of the the morning.

well. And if you do like episodes like
(00:42):
that, feel free to check it out after this episode as well if
you haven't already. And if you do leave a five star
review and subscribe if you enjoy the content, we'd be
greatly appreciated as well. So on that NBA train, the season
has just begun and man, what what a start.
Like we have so many over performing players this week,
(01:06):
which which is crazy. And I don't know if it's because
there's a lot of players that are out with injuries or that
players have just become crazilyskillful and they've had really
nice off seasons and they're super keen for the season to
start because we've had a 50 plus point performance from a
lot of players. We've had it from Aaron Gordon,
we got it from Austin Reeves, which are players that you don't
really expect to get to get thatthat point so early.
(01:28):
And then Austin Reeves today just came off a 41 point
performance as well. So that's back to back averaging
around 47 points, which is crazy.
Now they don't have Luca, they don't have LeBron, so there's
someone that needs to take the scoring load there and Austin
Reeves has definitely done that.But that's spectacular in
itself. Lauren Mark and then just have
51 points as well. Shays had a 50 bomb.
(01:49):
Yeah, it's been it's been incredible.
There's probably a lot more thatI'm missing out on, but at the
start of this season it's going crazy.
I did a take for the Chicago Bulls.
They haven't lost the game since.
So I've been getting stick from a lot of my Bulls friends
telling me that I was very wrongin that opinion.
But I am going to stick by the unders because they still
(02:11):
haven't played any W teams. And once they get to the the
road tour for the West, I think they're going to have the
struggle, but they're sitting atthe top comfortably 3 and oh,
and another team that's also three and oh is the Philadelphia
76ers, who with VJ Edgecomb, he's looking like an early
rookie of the year. He he's killing it.
They're calling him the generator.
Unbelievable nickname. I'm a massive fan of that
(02:33):
nickname, the generator, coming from the fact that he actually
grew up living off a generator, which is an inspiring story
enough shows that he's putting his blood, sweat and tears into
basketball and it's proven dividends so far in his rookie
career. I think he's the first rookie
for Philadelphia to have that that score of 34 points.
I'm pretty sure it was in his first game, which which screams
(02:55):
records to me because I can't remember the last time a rookie
debuted with 30 plus points. He's definitely going to be in
the record books for that. So he's having a great a great
start and so are Philly and I think that will be good with
him. So he's coming out to be a
better player than probably a lot of people expected coming
out the gates and early contender for rookie of the
year. At the moment, the Spurs are
four and O and my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
(03:19):
The stuff that I'm seeing from Victor, when Benyama, dude, he's
going to be, I'm calling you now.
Victor Wenbanama will get a quadruple double this season.
I'm calling it points, assists, rebounds, blocks.
He will get it. He will be the first in a long
time to get a quad double. You can just feel it, the way
(03:42):
he's playing. If God could give him the grace
to stay healthy, we're looking at one of the best ever
basketball players of all time. The way he's going, if you've
watched his highlights, I'm talking two blocks, get the ball
in transition, step back three, which he step back is equivalent
to five steps for me doing the same shit.
(04:04):
And in another game he's he's doing the same back to back
blocks, gets the ball and is pulling up from mid midcourt for
three, swishing that basket. He can score on any levels.
You can't stop him in the pain, and if you see him in the key
defending, you are getting away from there as soon as possible
because he is going to block your shot.
He made Anthony Davis look silly.
(04:26):
Zion probably did the best job on him.
But after that posterizing dunk,Wendy got him back with about
four or five blocks. It's insane.
This bloke is insane and the wayhe's going right now, he's going
to be a clear MVP winner. It's it's crazy #4 pick in our
fantasy. He's looking the best by far.
It's honestly like Wendman, Yama's a fucking alien.
(04:47):
He's that good. And if you don't enjoy
basketball, if you've never watched basketball, just watch
him and the San Antonio Spurs and you will be amazed the shit
he is doing at his height. He's got KD level scoring, he's
got Giannis level physicality. Yeah, it's yeah.
I don't know what it's like. I could sit here and talk about
Wimbunyama all day. He's he's an alien.
(05:08):
He's completely insane. The stuff that he's doing, like
insane. Like I I'm impressed and man,
it's so good to have the NBA back.
We just having some really good storylines.
We've got some surprise good starters, the Bulls,
Philadelphia 76ers in East and yeah, it's it's going great.
As for the Wizards, they get their first win of the season
(05:30):
against the Dallas Mavericks. They get an embarrassing loss to
the Charlotte Hornets where Lamala Ball just got a triple
double tortured us. He had 3813 and 13 I'm pretty
sure. But I'm seeing good flashes in
Trey Johnson so far. He's averaged over 15 points in
every game and that that's impressive.
A good scoring punch off the bench for us.
It's going to be sooner rather than later that he gets inserted
(05:51):
into the starting lineup. Alex Saw has picked it up
massively. He's looking really, really good
as well. And OK, he didn't play good the
last game, but Keyshawn George is looking incredible as well.
And I'm so happy to see that because I did expect him to take
a massive leap this season and he's doing really well.
We got 34 points in our win against Dallas.
(06:12):
He shot really efficiently. He he's our primary ball
defender right now and he's putting up offensive numbers.
Like watch out. I think we're looking at our
potential franchise player. As crazy as it sounds.
I know maybe I'm jumping too early, but as a Wizards fan,
you've got to get excited when you can see young potential
talent. And I see it within SAR.
I see it within Keyshawn George and I see it within Train
Johnson. The one person I'm not seeing it
(06:33):
through, unfortunately. And I really like his
personality and I really like his tenacity, but it's not
working out for him at the moment is Bob Carrington.
And I am starting to get concerned because I think we
might, he might lose the starting spot.
He's a really good player. He's a young guard.
It's going to take him time to figure it out, especially
playing as a point guard. But when you look at the other
rookies or the sophomores now performing how they are and Trey
(06:54):
Johnson coming out the gates hot, it's really hard to make a
case for for Bob Carrington to to really justify his starting
spot. The veterans CJ McCollum and
Chris Middleton not playing too good, but you need them
starting. I think they're their trade bait
for contending teams. I think they're gone before the
All Star break and the more minutes to play, the more
exposure they they will get. The Utah Jazz are playing well
(07:16):
as well. Speaking of our I guess W
counterparts, in terms of records last season, they're
undefeated at home and they are currently as I look at my phone,
they're two in one. They smashed the Clippers in
their first game and as I mentioned, Laura marketing
getting 51 points today against the Phoenix Suns that went to
overtime. They're doing great.
So yeah, all positives on that front for the Utah Jazz.
(07:38):
They're making my pick look silly at the moment.
But again, it's still early. We don't want to be premature
for anything. But at the moment I'm loving the
season so far. And NBA is so bad.
Fantasy NBA is also so bad with all these high level
performances as well. So yeah, NBA is really excited.
Jump on it every single day. You can't, you can't go wrong
with basketball like that. That should happen to every,
(08:00):
every single day. But we'll move on.
We'll get on to the Premier League news.
United get their third win in a row, defeating Brighton 4/2.
I think up to when Brighton scored, it has been our most
complete performance this season, especially at home.
It was the first time we actually witnessed Old Trafford
proper buzzing. But a few miss, I think wrong
(08:23):
decisions and substitutions. A terrible impact made the game
closer than what it was. It was 3 nil going into like the
77th minute until we subbed off Casamiro and we brought on Dolgu
and we brought on Kobe menu. Ahmad also got subbed off and it
really affected us. I think they didn't.
They lacked control of the game.The midfield wasn't as balanced
(08:45):
and you could see that we're really missing Casimiro and
again, for everyone that criticises Casimiro, being
overpaid, too old, doesn't have the legs.
He stabilises that midfield and I think he's really important
for us this season. If we can get him on a cheaper
deal, I would prefer to keep himgiven how I'm not real confident
on our midfield. And as much as I love Kobe, man,
who just doesn't seem like his heart's in it at the moment
given all the transfer speculation and the lack of
(09:07):
playing time, Dog has come on and made a mistake.
I think he's young. I think you've got to give him
time to sort of and forgive him for that.
But Ahmad was electric as always.
But talking about electric, the stuff that I've seen from Kunya
and and Bueno has been impressive.
Boomer gets two goals. Kunya gets his first goal at Old
Trafford. You can see the quality in
(09:28):
Premier League proven players when we sign these guys and
they're ready, they they're taking the challenge on and
they're killing it and it's making United very exciting once
again. Le Mans is killing it as well.
It's good to have a stable goalkeeper and Bruno Fernandez
is finding passing patterns between those two and Cisco
maybe hasn't been involved in the goals necessarily but he's a
presence up there and he distracts 2 centre backs.
(09:50):
He's tall, he's combating, he's fighting, he's battling and and
I really like what I'm seeing from him so far.
Obviously if we see goals attached to his name it looks a
lot better but United 3 in a rowon top of Liverpool, which is
funny because those guys were the favourite to to win the
league. Thinking of doing a podcast with
the boys, They're ducking me at the moment, they don't want to
get on but I'm going to make sure that they have a chat about
(10:11):
this because I think it needs tobe addressed.
What is going on with Liverpool Football Club?
They've lost four of their last five games.
They've lost three I think Premier League games in a row.
We're talking Crystal Palace, United and now Brentford, which
is piss poor from them, like really bad.
They lost Galatasaray as well. And you thought after the five
(10:32):
one win against Frankfurt that come out with full confidence,
but Brentford just dominated them.
Like there was a consolation goal from Salah, but Brentford
were with a much better team andLiverpool didn't perform well at
all. And I haven't been.
And yeah, I don't know what's going on.
I don't know if it's slow, I don't know if it's trying to get
all these new signings and pieces together.
But something needs to to sort of change for Liverpool to turn
(10:53):
this around and win the title. And by all means, I can sit
there, laugh at them and give them shit.
But I think come end of the season they will be better than
us. And I really, truly believe that
this team will click. And once they do click, I think
they're going to be a threat foreveryone in the league as well.
So can't rule out Liverpool yet.I'm happy at what I'm seeing.
It's giving me joy, it's giving me satisfaction.
(11:15):
It's crazy to think that we would ever be ahead of Liverpool
in a Premier League season the way the two teams are, are set
up on their depth. But it's happened and I'm going
to ride to the end. We beat them two, one at their
ground, which is looking amazingand it it looks like we've
crumbled them. And yeah, we're two games off
the United guy to cut his hair, which is also good.
But two tough games. You've got Nottingham Forest
(11:37):
this week away from home. They're freaking struggling and
like I told you, it's not. The grass is not always greener.
Changing managers. As much as Sean Deutsch is a
good coach when it comes to keeping teams up, I don't
understand the move. Are they trying to stay up in
the Premier League? They literally just got into
European football. Why have they downgraded to such
(11:58):
a manager like Deutsch? Maybe it suits their team, I
don't know. But I'm confident United will
get the win against Nottingham Forest.
It will. It is away from home and it will
hopefully set up our fourth in arow in a row to get that
eventual fixture against Tottenham, which will come up in
two weeks. Can United win five games in a
row and cut the man's hair off? I don't know his name but he's
(12:19):
the United super fan that obviously has his hair too long.
Liverpool take on Aston Villa and Aston Villa just came off A1
nil win against Manchester City which was a surprise.
Liverpool are playing at home atAnfield and this is a must win
for them. If they don't win this game they
are going to be in massive trouble.
I think Man City's struggling once again.
(12:40):
Don't know what the goal is withthem because you never really
know until Christmas hits. They they start firing on all
cylinders but they don't obviously look the same either.
But yeah they they take a loss. Another team that takes a loss
is Sunderland. I mean not Sunderland they lost
to Sunderland. Chelsea losing to Sunderland in
the 90th minute. And and what a story they are.
They are currently 4th on the ladder and Bournemouth are
(13:02):
second on the ladder who are also firing in all cylinders.
And fun fact, the last time United, Chelsea, Man City and
Liverpool were not in the top 4 by round 9 it was 1992 and I'm
pretty sure that was either the year before the Premier League
started or the first ever Premier League season.
So that is a crazy start in itself.
(13:22):
The fact that Bournemouth and Sunderland are in the top 4 is
amazing. Bournemouth play some really
good football. I did expect that.
Sunderland, what a story. And now we can be then get our
fingers wrapping around and palmour hands to the excitement of
them taking on Newcastle, which is going to be an unbelievable N
(13:42):
Derby, which will be yeah, interesting.
Who's going to win that? I don't know now, because
Sunderland are freaking firing. Granted Shaka is looking like an
unbelievable ad. You've got some experienced
players such as Mookie LA and I think it's Ronaldo, the left
back. They're they're experienced,
they're doing well. And he said, though upfront he's
killing it. He killed in the Championship
(14:02):
last year and he's he's putting up to the Premier League.
It's it's great to see and it's a great story for Sunderland.
We all know the embarrassment that they had the double
relegation and the Sunderland tool I died documentary.
Let's all be honest, we all laughed at it.
We all gave them a lot of stick,but they've come out and have
been killing it 4th on the table.
I think it's simply incredible. Will it last?
(14:23):
Don't know. Same with Bournemouth.
I do think Bournemouth is poisedfor a European spot.
I think they play really good football and their coach is is
incredible. They've got Semenya who's a
star. They've got set piece
specialists and players that cancan do a job there.
So I'm I'm very confident in Bournemouth.
I think Bournemouth are are a great team and it's only going
to get better when they get their new stadium.
It's only going to get better when they continue to get wins
(14:45):
as well and the club that has maybe 9000 people in their
stadium to do that, simply incredible.
And yeah, we love it. We love when Bournemouth
support, we love a team that kills it so well.
And as I look at the fixture, itseems as though they're going to
be taking on Manchester City, sothat's going to be an
interesting one. Can Bournemouth take points away
from Manchester City? If that's the case, then
(15:07):
Bournemouth are a serious contender.
We're expecting City to bounce back and get a victory because
it is at the Etihad Stadium, butwe'll be looking at that one
big. That is going to be a very big
game and that is a Sky Sports feature game.
The Sunday morning 3:30 AM for our Monday morning, 3:30 AM for
us, the Sunday afternoon featuregame on Sky Sports will be that
match. So that's going to be
incredible. But we can't not speak about the
(15:29):
league leaders Arsenal. They are winning the league set
piece. FC Gabrielle contributing to
every single goal that Arsenal been a part of in every set
piece is is simply incredible. You've got to make an argument
that he could be one of the greatest set piece attackers in
the Premier League, which which is crazy.
(15:50):
I know there's a lot of set be specialists but every time
Arsenal put a ball in the box, whereas that Declan Rice curling
with cross, Gabrielle always seems to win the header, whether
he's heading it back into dangerous play to set up someone
else for a goal or scoring for himself.
It's simply incredible the stuffthat Gabrielle is doing.
I think he he's not, he doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Obviously, I think it comes fromthe offensive side, his defence,
(16:12):
he does have a mistake or two inhim, but I think he's having an
incredible season and he's really contributing to Arsenal
winning the league. You look at the goal today and
the other day, the head up straight to as a against his old
club great. And I love as AI love his faith.
I love how he always celebrates to God as well.
That's that's always special. So every time I see someone like
(16:33):
as they score goals, I feel goodabout life and it feels it feels
great to see his faith demonstrated on the big stage
too. But Arsenal with Liverpool and
Manchester City struggling, havea big chance to finally win the
league and I think this year hasto be the year they do it.
They're not going to do it in a way to play pretty football, but
they're going to probably be a defensive unit, a set piece
(16:53):
specialist team as as they've had that reputation.
Call it boring as you will, but results matter and I think any
Arsenal fan will take a result here to win the league and all
the Arsenal fans I'm talking to,you guys know who you are.
You should be excited for this because it's been a while since
your club has won a Premier League trophy and it would be
(17:14):
big if they did. And I'm kind of rooting for them
because I do feel as though thatLiverpool and Manchester City
are going to be competing for the title.
And as a United fan, I don't want to see none of them near
it. I don't want to see Liverpool
get 21 titles to overtake us andI don't want to see City, a baby
club to us. They're never going to be as big
as we are, go on top of of them and win another Premier League
(17:35):
title. So yeah, I'm rooting for Arsenal
and especially if City and Liverpool lose their matches,
which they're both at home, theyshould win.
But Aston Villa come off a big win against City and Bournemouth
on fire. You never know.
But the Premier League's back aswell.
We're nine games in. We're going to hit week, game,
week 10, which feels like it's gone so fast.
But we're just in November, so plenty of football to go.
(17:57):
So as we sit there and make these assumptions and
predictions right now, you neverknow what changes are there as
well. Just wanted to take a moment to
thank you guys for tuning in to another episode of the Huddle
Within podcast. If you do enjoy episodes like

podcasts. It'd be also great if you could
like and subscribe wherever you do get your podcasts so we can
continue to show this out to people that see sports exactly
the way that you do. But without further ado, let's
get straight back into it. We'll move on to sad news.
The NFL and the New York Giants cannot catch a break.
(18:38):
They they get a loss to the Eagles and the main story of the
night is scatter boost breaking his leg.
It's like that team was so fun. It's sad.
It actually hurt me in the heartand I feel for New York Giants
fans. I feel for Wendell, I feel for
Kenny, who were really excited to see New York football back on
(18:59):
the map and Giants performing asthey were and they lose their
best receiver and they lose their best running back.
The Giants, the Giants, it's going to be another sad year for
them. I think we're praying the best
and speediest recoveries to scamto Cam Scataboo, who he brought
the league some personality on fire.
(19:20):
You could see all his teammates tapping in on the shoulder.
You can see the impact that he have that he had on his team.
It's sad. It's truly it's truly emotional
and it's it's really not fair for the Giants because they're
fine. They've got Jameis Winston,
that's fine. They've got Scatterboo who's a
beast. They have neighbours who's
unbelievable. And I think they have their
future quarterback in Jackson Dawho is just a stone cold killer.
(19:42):
I think he's going to bring out his inner Anakin Skywalker the
way things are going. But I'm praying those two come
back because if they do come back and they're the players
that we've seen in those flashesand then we're looking at a team
that can easily win the NFC East, in my opinion.
But in other news, the BaltimoreRavens get a win back against
the Chicago Bears. The Chiefs beat the Commanders,
(20:07):
Apache Mahomes has suddenly arrived, and the and the
Indianapolis Colts. What a story.
Jonathan Taylor. Has to be the best running back
in the in the league right now and I can't.
I can't believe that. Like he's on fire, like I've
been talking about him every week, but Jonathan Taylor has
been absolutely killing it and it's unbelievable.
They get a victory against the Titans.
They smack up the Titans, who I think Cam Ward is a big concern
(20:31):
for rookies as I bring up the highlights, a big concern for
the rookies. I just want to bring up quickly.
Jonathan Taylor's run, so 153 yards, 2 touchdowns.
Unbelievable. Daniel Jones might get comeback
play of the year because he got ridiculed in New York Giants and
he's come to the Colts and has got them to a record of 6 and
one. And they topped the the NFC I
(20:53):
think yesterday to the AFC. Sorry, they topped the AFC with
seven and one. Close behind them are the
Broncos and the New England Patriots.
The Broncos snatch up the Cowboys.
So good to see when they smash up the Cowboys.
As much as I love George Pickens, I do not like the
Cowboys so I'm glad they took a loss there as well.
The Bengals, they choke it against The Jets.
(21:13):
The Jets get their first victory.
What happened to The Jets? Got a given credit there.
Bruce Hall had a massive rushinggame.
And as much as I've given Jets shit, I felt really good for,
for Justin Fields, who came out and obviously praised the Lord
and thanked the Lord for the victory and, and said that he
was crying in the basement and got emotional.
And stories like that are very inspiring and it makes me root
(21:35):
for the guy. I really hope Justin Fields can
can really help the The Jets go somewhere because he seems like
a good guy and they get the win 3938 in a in a big shootout.
But you thought the Bengals weregoing to win it, but The Jets
came back and got a victory and I really liked their their coach
Aaron Glenn. I think he's a really nice
coach. He came from Detroit.
He did a really good job there. And yeah, we'll take that.
(21:57):
In other news, as I check out the rest of the games here, the
Bills are doing well. The Dolphins get a win back.
That's great. Jaylen Waddle had a good game.
But my fucking Saints 23 to three.
You're telling me we you can't, we gave up another touchdown,
we're in big trouble, We are in massive trouble.
(22:18):
We're looking at trading Rashid Shaheed it seems, and Crystal
Laba is also on the trade block.They said that they're not
available but I really think they're taking calls for them
because it's time for the Saintsto blow it up.
I don't know why they dropped Spencer Ratler.
He's definitely not the issue. I like that they've given Tyler
show a chance, but Rattler is the guy for me.
I think Ratlet has proven that he's good enough.
(22:38):
The defence, the online not goodenough at the moment and yeah,
we're just not clicking. The receivers are not doing good
enough either. And I don't know what happened
to Alvin Kamara, man. He's on my fantasy team and he's
not performing and that's not helping me and that's not
helping the cause for the new onSaints.
We are going to be very shit fora long time it looks, and it's
(22:59):
hard to even just give the time of the day to talk about them.
So we're going to move on quickly to the upcoming games.
We have the Ravens taking on theDolphins Thursday night,
Minnesota taking on Detroit. Minnesota, another team that are
struggling. You can see that Sam Darnold
losing him was a big impact. But I do expect the Detroit
Lions to win the game. We have the Cardinals and
Cowboys, Monday Night Football, Seahawks and Commanders.
(23:21):
Seahawks should win there. Smith and Jigbar hopefully can
come back, but I think the game of the round has to be the
Kansas City take on the Buffalo Bills, the the biggest rather in
the AFC. Can the Bills take on a very
good performing patching? Mahomes at the moment who's
who's just gone back to his greatest form?
I think that can I think they'llget the victory here, but it'll
(23:42):
be tough. And we also have the
Indianapolis Colts taking on thePittsburgh Steelers, which is
always going to be a big test for them.
We're looking out for the Colts.They're very exciting to watch
right now and I think they're going to be a very big player in
the AFC as it presently stands as well.
But yeah, I think that pretty much wraps up the NFL.
We'll look forward to the next games and review them all
(24:04):
because I think they are going to be very exciting.
That's ramping too. We're close.
We're at the halfway point nearly and playoffs is going to
come sooner than you know it because NFL season doesn't go
too, too, too long. But yeah, NFL big fan.
Hard to watch all the games given that redstones at 4:00 AM
here. They're just trying to keep up
as much as we can. And to finally wrap up, it
(24:25):
wouldn't be a Sports News show without some F1 and some
wrestling F1. Lando Norris takes the lead in
the drivers championship, defeating winning the the Mexico
Grand Prix. A bit of a fishy virtual safety
car conveniently happened 2 lapsto go while Oscar Pierce she was
(24:45):
about to take overtake Ollie Berman and Max Verstappen was
about to take overtake Charles Leclerc.
It's quite fishy I I am safe to assume that McLaren are
favouring Lando Norris, which isdoing my head in as a biassed
Australian but also just makes it not fair.
Oscar's been the better driver all season and feels like
(25:07):
Lando's getting handouts. That's really pissing me off and
not making me enjoy F1 at the moment.
And we're getting no opportunities for for Piastry
and Verstappen to overtake on a virtual safety car.
It's it's quite fishy for me. But yeah, it's ramping up.
I'm, I'm hoping Oscar wins. I'll actually take Max
Verstappen winning over Landon Norris right now.
And I used to love Landon Norris.
(25:28):
I was a massive fan. But now the way that McLaren's
treating him and, and putting him as the favourite and as the
as the poster child, it's still my head in.
And I don't think it's fair. And I really hope that they,
they turn this around and they let them race because I think
letting them race will truly determine who the best driver
is. And I think it's Oscar Piastre.
A lot of people think it is and if not, it's Max Verstappen.
(25:51):
Of the three, you would argue that Leather Norris is clearly
the worst of the three. So yeah, we don't want to see
that. We'll be continuing to to follow
the races as it's 5 to go. And I'll I'll be watching that
definitely in the background as it gets as it gets tight and and
close to to the end of the season and some WWE talk.
To wrap it off, we have Saturdaynight's main event.
(26:14):
We got the world heavyweight championship match between CM
Punk and Jay USO. The title is vacated as Seth
Rollins did get injured tearing his rotator cuff obviously
forced the Vision to split up. Do I want Jay USO to win?
No, definitely not. I think CM Punk should win this
match. I again wasn't happy with the
booking that gave Jay USO this match.
(26:36):
LA Knight definitely deserves tobe in it.
So yeah, as much as Jay USO is over by the fans, I don't think
he's championship, world championship worthy as much as I
do like him and I think we're over J so going for the title.
So hopefully he doesn't win it. We've got Cody Rhodes taking on
Drew McIntyre. There have been some signs that
Cody Rhodes could be turning heel, so look out for that if
you are new to WWE. We might see a Cody Rhodes heel
(26:58):
turn. He's currently the face of the
company, but they're in the rumblings of that.
He takes on Drew McIntyre. I expect him to win still Cody
Rhodes, But yeah, we'll have to wait and see.
And then finally, for the matches that have been booked
right now, we've got Jay Cargilltaking on Tiffany Stratton for
the Women's WWE Championship. Jay Cargill has turned heel as
well, so that's also exciting. I expect her to win the title so
(27:20):
she can kick off her heel run, which has just started.
So yeah, there's still a Smackdown to go and a roar that
I have to catch up on to get thelatest news on wrestling.
But again, that's extremely exciting as well to get on
Saturday night's main event. John Cena has three matches to
go. So John Cena is nearly done,
which is crazy as well. He's had an unbelievable career.
(27:42):
He's to me the GOAT of wrestlingand I think the undisputed GOAT
at the moment with 17 world titles to his name.
So yeah, he wraps up for the year almost.
We've got Survivor Series after this.
So that's the five on five war games, which is exciting and I
don't know what to go of war games is going to be, but we'll
keep out for that as well. But yeah, that pretty much
(28:04):
roughs all the Sporting News fortoday.
So thank you so much for for listening to another another
podcast. Just want to show you my Yahoo
merch that I've got. If you're watching the video,
this hoodie is super nice and they've given me this cool bump
like so shout out to them. But I just want to show you what
what it says when you do. It might be some material in the
(28:24):
future to use when something excites me, like if I hear good
news or if someone talks in a good take with a guest, I can
just slim up and go. Yeah, but that pretty much wraps
it up. Sorry for being so distracted.
But again, if you did enjoy thisepisode, subscribe.
Whether you do get your podcasts, We do weekly news when
(28:47):
there's not a specific topic there.
I try to address the weekly Sporting News, this one longer
than usual, given that we don't have any NBA unders and overs,
but we're looking to bring on more guests as always and bring
in some more. Check insurance with the NBA,
with Kenny and Nathan, also withLiverpool, hopefully begin that
soon. And also an NFL.
I think mid season wrap up is something that we might be doing
(29:09):
sooner rather than later as well.
So lots to happen on the huddle within again, the studio is is
coming soon. We're we're working on it.
If it might be a webcam, if I can get a good studio going,
I'll look to opt into that as well as an option if we can get
face to face guests to come in. But yes, keep out for all this
stuff. But again, thank you for
listening. I'll catch you guys next week
(29:29):
and hope you all have a wonderful week wherever you're
