OM DETTA AVSNITT
The man of the hour is back: Jason finished the Des Moines Marathon in just over 4 hours and 14 minutes. He brings back a full war report: Miah's seven-stop cheer squad, Lucy's crowd-favorite "Don't Trust a Fart" sign, two pee breaks, the brutal Grand Avenue hills, a blister that burst into a bloody shoe, KT tape doing nipple duty, and an open beer handed to him at the finish line. Then it's football. Caleb Williams is back and sharp, so the Bears win and Jason sweeps all three fantasy leagues in one glorious weekend. The guys dig into the Eagles' Jalen Hurts blood clot situation (reportedly awake 36 hours before playing in London) and possible discipline, Josh Jacobs returning while his sealed video sits in legal limbo, the Cowboys' offense suddenly forgetting how to score, and Jerry being cheap on coaching pay. Also on the list: Mike McCarthy missing halftime after rolling his ankle, Aaron Rodgers telling a rookie his dad was better than him, and the Rams losing 18-6 to Arizona.
From there, it's the Broncos' upset of Seattle and Ryan Fitzpatrick torching Bo Nix (whose five-letter name is longer than his average depth of target). On the list too: Kenneth Walker's historic pace, the Titans' first win getting the Colts GM fired, Jonathan Taylor trade rumors, J.J. McCarthy's 10-minute audition for the Giants, Cam Skattebo's benching, A.J. Brown's drops, and Marvin Harrison Jr.'s possible "quiet quit" in Arizona. Off the field: George calls Frankie for help proposing his first-ever trade, Claude makes Jason's college pick'em picks (badly), Frankie's NBA auction draft, the NBA asking sportsbooks to pull bench-player props, prediction markets, and Jim Nantz hurting his hand punching a football out of J.J. Watt's arms. It closes with an Arizona high school QB suspended for calling an audible (with Lovie Smith on staff), a B.C. city councilman whose platform was basically "I'm under 60," a mom cutting an attack ad against her own daughter, an Amazon driver peeing in an apartment hallway, and a Texas man who drove his SUV through a Kroger's doors to use the bathroom.
