About this episode

The episode discusses potential NBA rule changes, NFL strategies, and features a prediction for the Rams' season opener against the 49ers.

We kick things off with Fast Track, diving into The Ringer’s list of rules that could fix the NBA and how the Patriots used a videoboard trick to throw off opposing kickers. Plus, a sleep expert is predicting a Rams win over the 49ers in the season opener because of their decision to fly in the day before the game. We wrap things up with Game of Games!
