Grant is back from his honeymoon, and there’s a lot to catch up on. Thursday night opens the show: Green Bay beats Carolina to move to 5-3, but John isn’t buying it — he walks through the schedule the Packers have beaten — and David Bloom says this franchise has spent a decade beating itself on special teams. David also tries to figure out Jordan Love, and John says some quarterbacks are just good, and that’s it. Then the trade deadline: the Bears land All-Pro Jeffery Simmons, the Niners get DeForest Buckner and Seattle adds Quenton Nelson, and both John and David say contenders paying for interior pressure is exactly right. In the NBA, the rookie class is already rewriting record books — Caleb Wilson in Chicago, Yaxel Lendeborg’s 31-point night in Golden State, Cameron Boozer in Memphis — and John says the only thing that matters for the Clippers this season is Keaton Wagler’s development. Josh Tariff joins with the stat that puts Darius Acuff next to Wilt Chamberlain, then the crew takes on the injury wave: Jalen Williams’ devastating ankle injury, Cason Wallace, Anthony Edwards’ knee surgery, and John’s theory about why stars keep breaking down.
