Sorting Through the Chaos in this Young NBA Season

The NBA season is officially in full swing and for many it’s a start that no one could have predicted. Who would have thought that even a few weeks into the season the Milwaukee Bucks would be fighting to stay out of the NBA cellar? Or that the Cleveland Cavaliers would be putting up numbers that King James couldn’t even muster during his reign? And let’s not forget the Golden State Warriors, who are going back to their old championship playbook and now find themselves sitting near the top of an elite Western Conference. But the drama by the Bay doesn’t end there, because tonight the Warriors welcome home Splash Brother Klay Thompson, who is making his first appearance in a Mavs uniform. Brian Windhorst joins us to sort out everything we’ve seen so far and gives a sneak peek at what might be coming next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The National Women's Soccer League playoffs kick off tonight with a matchup between No. 1 Orlando Pride and No. 8 Chicago Red Stars, followed by more quarterfinal round matches on Saturday and Sunday. But both on and off the pitch, the NWSL has arrived in a new era. Jeff Kassouf, lead women’s soccer writer at ESPN, is here to discuss the league’s recent seismic shifts, including the players’ new collective bargaining agreement – both the unprecedented power it gives players and the ripple effect it’s creating for management. Plus, a preview of the game action itself, including a primer for the less-initiated into the league’s most exciting players like Temwa Chawinga and Barbra Banda, and what to watch for in the most-anticipated matchups.

Is the Jerry Jones "Fishbowl" Undermining the Cowboys?

Jerry Jones has built the Dallas Cowboys into the most valuable sports franchise in the world. But the 28 years since they last won a Super Bowl have been marked by a remarkable string of playoff failure. And this season, after three losses in a row, it looks like the letdowns in Big D will continue. Back in the offseason, former Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz identified a challenge very unique to Jerry’s team when he said “there’s [fans] literally going on tours while you’re lifting in the weight room… it’s a zoo.” That comment caught the attention of our Kalyn Kahler, who was inspired to take a closer look at these fan tours of the team’s facility and how they’ve become a significant distraction for the players. So with the rival Eagles looking to put a fork in the Cowboys season on Sunday, Kalyn Kahler brings us her report from inside “The Star” and explores how Jones obsession with the spotlight has put the quest for another title in perpetual peril.

Is the New Playoff Supercharging College Football?

Who’s in and who’s out? Tonight’s reveal of the college football playoff rankings should serve as a less contentious appetizer to your election night viewing. And with the sport expanding the field to twelve teams for the first time in history, the eager anticipation is coupled with some confusion about how this whole thing is going to work. Today, Heather Dinich, who’s been using her weekly column to play-act as a committee-of-one all season, is here to answer all your questions. How can a school like BYU get a higher seeding than blue bloods Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, and Alabama? How might Boise State edge out teams ranked higher than them? Are Coach Prime and Colorado really still alive? Heather explains it all and examines why the new format could make for the most exciting post-season we’ve ever seen.
