Astros Exorcism On Deck? Upstart Braves Make Series Return! Are The Bengals For Real? Big Ten Battle Royale! Time To Ship Ben Simmons, But W

b'As we enter the week of Halloween, the sports world always has a couple of treats, but quite a few tricks. I\'ll pass out some of the good and bad as Episode #221 is ready for consumption. On deck:

(5:09) Baseball fans! The Fall Classic is set! I\'ll review the roads that the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves took to get to the World Series, the storylines of this upcoming series and how they\'ll fare as they shoot for a championship (and I\'ll have a prediction, of course). I\'ll also get into how the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers limp into the offseason, the Cardinals fire and hire a new manager and should former Giants GM Brian Sabean receive a call from the New York Mets about their front office position?

(33:35) NFL Week 7 was a complete atrocity. The schedule produced a lot of lopsided scores as it was a week to forget. I\'ll have my winners (CIN, LV) and losers (KC, SF) and take a peek at at Week 8 slate that looks just as bad as Week 7.

(47:32) Penn St. becomes the latest top ranked team to take an \'L\' in college football, but the battle royale will begin in the Big Ten starting this weekend as the schedule intensifies in the conference. I\'ll discuss that, as well as, will Alabama get picked off before the SEC Championship Game based on their recent sloppy play?

(55:55) The Lakers and Nets have gotten off to not so good starts, but the talk in the Association is the saga of Ben Simmons and his likely departure in Philadelphia. What should the 76ers do? How will they go about getting rid of the mercurial point guard? I\'ll check on the hot and cold starts to some of the teams throughout the league. And you know, I have to add my two shiny red pennies to the NBA\'s 75th Anniversary Team. How I disagree with a couple of selections and a few snubs that\'s getting traction, but not with yours truly. You won\'t want to miss on what I have to say about that!

(1:14:38) The NHL is into its second week. The Blackhawks are the latest team to get hit by COVID and they haven\'t won a game so far this season. I\'ll go through some of the teams that are making waves to this point and the others that surprisingly are scuffling out of the gate.

(1:17:57) And to close, there\'s my Hero and Zero of the Week.
