The NFL's officiating problem and the Nats' run to the World Series

And should the league once again scrap its instant-replay system all together? Those are questions that sports editor Josh Smith and sports writer Greg Swatek tackle on this week’s episode of Just Another Sports Podcast, as the horrible officiating in the league forces them to return to a familiar topic on the podcast.

They will be big underdogs in the World Series against the Astros or the Yankees. But is that the role that suits them best? Plus, why is LeBron commenting about the NBA’s issues in China?
