Andy & Phil
We are confusion about the start to this NBA season. What's the deal with the defending champ Warriors? How are the Jazz winning? Are the Hawks the new Blazers? What happened to Jimmy Butler's dreadlocks..? And, get excited, the World Cup is about to begin... But we don't really talk about that.

The Super Bowl is over, so we confirm Tom Brady's unmatched credentials then talk about landing spots for JJ Watt and half of the QBs in the NFL. In NBA news, the Jazz are the team to watch right now; Carmelo Anthony hits a scoring milestone; and we avoid getting into comparing players across eras except the past three or four eras.
It's Super Bowl Sunday! We try to give the football season a nice sendoff by discussing whether it will continue to be the dominant sport and an outsize cultural influence in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.
