    5 Alarm In Buffalo

    This week, we dive into a wild Week 11 in the NLL, where the Buffalo Bandits are officially on high alert after a shocking 13-11 loss to the Philadelphia Wings. We break down how Kyle Jackson made an immediate impact for Philly and whether the Bandits' age is finally starting to show on the back end. We also cover the Saskatchewan Rush extending their winning streak to seven games, Georgia’s steady climb up the standings, and the viral pregame fireworks between Rochester and Vancouver. We also re-examine our preseason NLL Award picks. Plus, we kick off the NCAA season with a look at Denver’s dominance, Villanova’s massive upset over Penn State, and Joey Spallina chasing Syracuse history.

    Mammoth Maul Bandits

    The NLL standings are starting to separate the contenders from the pack as the Saskatchewan Rush continue their "boring" winning streak and the Colorado Mammoth cement themselves as the hottest team in the league. We break down the Mammoth’s absolute routing of the Buffalo Bandits and wonder if it’s finally time for Buffalo to sound the alarm on their aging roster. Meanwhile, the San Diego Seals might be finding their rhythm after sweeping the Philadelphia Wings, while Vancouver made a major statement by shutting down the Ottawa Black Bears. On the field side, the NCAA season is officially here. We recap a "Week Zero" filled with lopsided scores—including Denver's 20-1 blowout—and dive into a heated debate on what really matters more: raw athleticism or high-level lacrosse IQ. Plus, we cover the unfortunate season-ending injury to Bobby Van Buren and what that means for the PLL draft, all while checking in on the "Carrick Effect" at Manchester United.

    Who's Actually Good?

    We are back after a holiday break and a rough bout with the flu. Brandon and Neil have a lot of lacrosse to catch up on and some massive news to break down.

We (finally) get into the massive trade that sent Jack Hannah to the Colorado Mammoth and how that move is already shaking up the NLL landscape before diving into the high-scoring weekend, including the Buffalo Bandits holding off the Desert Dogs and Calgary’s statement win over the Seals. Beyond the box, we discuss the bittersweet news of Jordan Faison choosing football over Notre Dame lacrosse and what that means for the sport.
