Coach opens Friday's show by dedicating it to legendary football coach June Jones and Star Trek icon Patrick Stewart , who both passed away this week. Then Mikey P joins for an NBA Cup trivia warm-up before the Packers' 27-19 Thursday Night Football win over Carolina . Neither host enjoyed the game, but both loved Christian Watson leaving in an ambulance and coming back with a broken rib to catch two more passes. Mikey says Bryce Young simply played without confidence behind six sacks, and the NFC South stays a mess. Next: the Bears' trade for Jeffery Simmons . Mikey calls him a three-time All-Pro every Sunday watcher knows; Coach says casual fans don't, and Producer Man splits the difference — plus Simmons' 2024 "nail polish" line about his new quarterback, Caleb Williams. Coach debuts Three Things , three questions into the weekend. Will the unbeaten Vikings survive Detroit ? (Both say Lions.) Will Denver lead the AFC West after hosting the Chiefs ? (Mikey: Chiefs; Coach: Broncos.) And who holds the fourth playoff seed before next week's Miami at Notre Dame showdown? The crew closes with best bets across college and the NFL, and Mikey's pick for WNBA Finals Game 7 on Saturday night. Picks are opinion only, and lines move.

It's Thursday Night Football week, and Coach and Mikey P go deep on Carolina at Green Bay (8:15 PM ET, Prime Video). The 3-3 Panthers still lead the NFC South after a 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay, and Mikey points out they were in the same spot last year, when they came off a blowout and won 16-13 at Lambeau. The 4-3 Packers are last in a division where every team is over .500, with six primetime games, a trip to New England and the unbeaten Vikings next. Coach calls Green Bay the most boring team in the league to watch and wants Matt LaFleur to speed it up for Jordan Love; Mikey, a Bears fan, says Love can throw it and should be turned loose. Raphael Esparza's Inside Info covers the $1 billion-plus traded on election prediction markets and his three Thursday plays. Picks are opinion; lines move. 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. The WNBA Finals Game 6 tips at 12:30 PM ET on a Thursday in Atlanta, with get-in tickets around $32. Coach calls it as embarrassing a story as he's heard, especially after WWE's Nick Khan agreed to push SmackDown back an hour for a Friday-night game, and Mikey says it's a rough last impression for retiring commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Then Jake Paul's Christmas Eve fight in Dubai still has no opponent: Mikey likes Darren Till (or another Tommy Fury fight), and Coach wants a name Grandma Sue knows. They close with Bill Raftery toning down "Onions!" for Rome and Villanova-Notre Dame on Sunday. Housekeeping: BTT Studios is now on Roku and Amazon Fire TV (search "BTT Studios"), including a 24/7 channel. News nuggets: the Brewers won their first World Series and William Contreras was named MVP. Fight Time with Mikey P drops today, and a VOD on Panthers-Packers drops at 7 PM ET.

Mikey P sits in for Coach and is joined by Brandon Combs, executive producer of BetMGM Tonight and co-host of BTT Tailgate Saturday. The NFL trade frenzy is on: the Colts sent eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks and DeForest Buckner back to the 49ers , the team that drafted him. Brandon likes the Buckner deal more for a banged-up Niners defense, the guys debate what the Bears should chase before the deadline, and whether the Colts move a third face of the franchise in Jonathan Taylor (Brandon wouldn't spend a first-rounder on any running back). In the NBA, Anthony Edwards is set for arthroscopic knee surgery and could miss up to two months , the latest star hurt after Jalen Williams and Paolo Banchero; Brandon says the regular season doesn't matter anyway. Then the WNBA Finals Game 6 moved to 12:30 PM ET Thursday and the Dream's open letter. On F-Day Rant Wednesday, Brandon says the Rays need to leave Tampa Bay after the Brewers' fans took over the World Series , and Mikey takes aim at Montez Sweat after his two-game suspension. BTT Tailgate Saturday previews Week 9: Arizona at Texas Tech, No. 20 Northwestern at Oregon, Florida vs. Georgia in Atlanta, Ohio State at USC and No. 1 Miami at North Carolina. They close with "What are we doing?" on Maryland's free-tuition raffle for students who stay until the fourth quarter. Picks and takes are the hosts' opinions; lines move. 21+. Gambling problem?

BTT Studios is now on Roku and Amazon Fire, and The 2 Count opens with the story nobody can stop talking about: WWE Crown Jewel is still set for November 7 in Riyadh. TKO's Ari Emanuel says everything is still set and being monitored daily , the U.S. has ordered non-emergency government staff out of Saudi Arabia , and Fightful Select reports talent and staff are unhappy about going. Coach says his own sources gave him names, JD says WWE's TV shows nobody cares about the show, and Ariel Helwani's report that Power Slap's production crew will fly into Bahrain and bus into Riyadh has both hosts asking why WWE's stars should feel safe. Then Raw: no Roman Reigns in Fresno apart from a pre-taped Solo Sikoa segment, no 946 until 45 minutes in, and Sami Zayn carrying the champion vs. champion build on his own . JD gives Sami his flowers, Coach pushes back on Sami's comments to Chris Van Vliet about the WrestleMania main event dream, and the guys debate two-night WrestleManias. In AEW, JD calls Blood & Guts unnecessary, and Tony Khan's "kind of like the A-Team" explanation for the Hurt Syndicate gets taken apart. The women's divisions: Stephanie Vaquer wasn't cleared, so Becky Lynch got Liv Morgan in the Raw main event, and on SmackDown B-Fab and Michin took the tag titles. Both hosts want Blake Monroe at the top. Then the young stars (Bron Breakker, Penta, Je'Von Evans, Oba Femi) and Coach's case for a traditional Survivor Series match, and the Kick Out: John Cena's November 2 Raw return in Brooklyn and the John Cena Classic. Takes are the hosts' opinions.

Coach opens with big news for BTT Studios: the network is now on Roku and Amazon Fire TV, with one more platform on the way. Supi joins to call this the World Series with the least juice ever after Milwaukee's 10-1 Game 3 win for a 3-0 lead, then the pair break down Dallas' 38-21 Monday night win in Philadelphia : Javonte Williams' career-high 155 yards, Dak Prescott wanting to establish the run, what it means for CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, Nick Sirianni's emotional night, an Eagles team at 2-5 without DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, and a Cowboys schedule with Arizona, Indianapolis and three straight home games ahead of a Week 14 bye. Raphael Esparza's Inside Info looks at Minnesota at Indiana, San Diego State-Washington State and Cardinals-Cowboys. Then it's Gridiron Time for Week 8 : Ravens at Bills, and whether this is Josh Allen's Super Bowl-or-bust year; the unbeaten Vikings at Detroit, where Supi says Minnesota is overvalued and Coach sees a more measured Dan Campbell; Browns at Steelers for first place in the AFC North (Coach on riding the hot hand); Chiefs at Broncos and Andy Reid's play-calling against Seattle; and Bears at Seahawks on Monday night. Picks and numbers are the hosts' opinions, and lines move. 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. The show closes with a new "What Are We Doing?": Game 6 of the WNBA Finals moved to 12:30 PM ET on Thursday at State Farm Arena because the Hawks have the building that night. Supi blames the NBA, Coach says nobody wants to talk about the WNBA right now, and the crew asks whether it's embarrassing for the league . Takes are the hosts' opinions.

Coach and Russo open with the Crown Jewel 2026 question: with heightened U.S. security warnings in the region, Russo still can't believe WWE will go through with the Nov. 7 Riyadh show — and Coach points out that not one wrestler on the podcast circuit has been asked about it. From there: the Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton Last Man Standing match being made in the ring, Penta's end-of-show pop with no build, whether Penta can ever headline in the U.S., and why there should only be one world champion while Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns both carry "the" title. Then Russo goes off on the "not ready" excuse Bruce Prichard gave on WWE Unreal — "ready for what?" — and Coach pitches Zilla Fatu skipping the line as the Bloodline's fifth man for WarGames. Coach launches "What Are We Doing?" with Aaron Glenn's timeouts and "None of This Is in That" for AI-written headlines, then tells the story of Sylvester Stallone arriving with 60 seconds to spare — and no script — to induct Hulk Hogan into the 2005 Hall of Fame . The back half gets personal: Brooke Hogan's post about the people around her late father, and Ric Flair's fall and blood-clot news with Charlotte left answering for him. Plus Russo's photo with Vince McMahon and the Undertaker, the "Stevie Night Heat" story, Triple H at Metallica in Las Vegas , NXT going head-to-head with Dynamite on Nov. 4, and the day Russo hired Robbie E over polka-dot trunks. Housekeeping: Coach and Russo's first book-intro meet and greet is Tuesday at 8 PM ET (link in the live chat). Russo's Brand launches a new lineup Nov. 1 at russosbrand.com.

Coach opens a Monday in the BTT universe with three nuggets: Luka Dončić's season-high 52 in the Lakers' win at Utah, the serious leg injury to the Thunder's Jalen Williams , and the Vikings' 16-10 win over the Colts that leaves Minnesota as the NFL's only unbeaten team. Brandon Combs of BetMGM Tonight joins (Mikey P is producing after losing his voice to Ole Miss), and the pair break down Seattle's 20-3 Sunday night win over the Chiefs : Patrick Mahomes held to 165 yards, Kenneth Walker III shut down by his old team, Andy Reid's clock management and the Chiefs' brutal road ahead. Then the 49ers' loss in Atlanta , whether anyone will ever go 17-0 again, and the weekend's biggest surprise: the Browns' comeback, the Bucs' 43 points against Carolina or the Bengals' 35-point second half against Baltimore. In the Weekend Rewind, Texas holds off Ole Miss 34-27 , Brandon still isn't sold on Arch Manning and predicts a transfer, and Coach walks through an SEC led by Kentucky and Georgia with eight teams at two conference losses, South Carolina's walk-off win over Tennessee , the remaining schedules for Kentucky, Georgia and Lane Kiffin's LSU (Brandon says LSU drops two more), and a Nov. 7 slate stacked with Alabama-LSU, Georgia-Ole Miss and Kentucky-Tennessee. Back to the NBA: Luka's 52 and whether it lasts, Steve Kerr's response to rookie Yaxel Lendeborg , the Thunder losing Jalen Williams, and the defending-champion Knicks starting 0-3 . The show closes on tonight's Cowboys-Eagles Monday Night Football game : does Nick Sirianni survive a loss, why the Eagles didn't add a veteran quarterback for Tanner McKee's spot, and the NFL-NFLPA joint review of Jalen Hurts' blood-clot diagnosis . Takes are the hosts' opinions. Housekeeping: BTT Studios' six shows are all at one link in Coach's bio. The Coach and Bro with Vince Russo is live at 2 PM ET; the Monday Night Grind (with the Legends Lounge) is live at 7 PM ET; Brandon's BetMGM Tonight previews World Series Game 3 tonight.

Coach opens Story Time Friday by playing back Vince Russo's adults-only "pop" explanation from Wednesday, then Russo asks whether hated broadcasters are as valuable as beloved ones, from Howard Cosell to Stephen A. Smith. That leads to Russo's question of the week: why is Howard Stern's weekly show on HBO Max , and Coach's answer about the executive who signs off on a big name, Dave Meltzer doing AEW-on-HBO-Max math, and why ten-year deals kill motivation. Topic 1 is Netflix: about 1,000 layoffs , a stock down more than 40% in a year, the exit of content chief Bela Bajaria (whose tenure brought in the WWE deal) and Coach's comparison of Raw to Stranger Things. Russo walks through the soft Q4 guidance and the ad-revenue cut and says he expects Netflix to use the opt-out at year five of the Raw deal . Coach has WWE's back: live, exclusive programming is the new money, and must-watch TV and binge-watching prove cliffhangers still work. Then Saudi Arabia: TKO's Ari Emanuel told Fox News that Crown Jewel on Nov 7 in Riyadh is still set while other events, including the Future Investment Initiative , have been postponed.

Coach opens with the news of the day: the Sixers' historic comeback, Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk revealing his Parkinson's diagnosis (he's in his first season as Southern's head coach), and a Friday college football slate without a ranked team. Then Mikey P and Supi join to break down the Bears' 30-24 win over the Patriots : why Luther Burden III disappeared after a 130-yard first half, Caleb Williams' 308 yards, a tough night for Drake Maye under pressure, A.J. Brown's fit in New England, two touchdowns in the final 14 seconds of the half, and Cairo Santos' 58-yard field goal. Chicago is 5-2 heading into three straight primetime games. It's Friday, so everybody brings a college pick and an NFL pick. Mikey P rides Trinidad Chambliss and Ole Miss at Texas, Supi likes Miami against Pitt and the Dolphins against the Jets, and Coach goes with Tulsa against Army tonight and the Panthers against the Bucs, with listener Jimbo's Utah and Panthers plays and a Rutgers-Northwestern detour.

Then the World Series: Rays at Brewers starts tonight in Milwaukee, and Coach wonders who's watching. Coach, who worked at MSG Network before ESPN, tells the Knicks ring story (an employee "ring" email that was a phishing test, and assistants still waiting), plus the 24-hour ESPN interview seminar he had to take twice.

Coach opens Thursday's Afternoon Drive with the news of the day: Saquon Barkley is expected back for the Eagles on Monday night against the Cowboys ( ESPN ), and JJ Watt has landed a multiyear deal as CBS's lead NFL analyst alongside Jim Nantz, replacing Tony Romo ( ESPN ). Coach calls the No. 1 network analyst chair one of the best jobs in sports broadcasting. Then Thursday Night Football: Patriots at Bears, both 4-2. Coach says Chicago has to stop playing prevent defense after letting Atlanta back into last week's 31-23 win, credits Buffalo for letting Drake Maye "off the mat," and runs through the morning show's best bets. Then the chat gets five questions: the best non-first-place team in the NFL, the best team in the NFC North (Coach says Detroit), whether the Eagles' season is over, Brock Purdy or Josh Allen, and Tom Brady or Peyton Manning as a GM after the report that the Colts called Manning ( SI ). Also: the Chiefs put Josh Simmons on injured reserve ( CBS Sports ). NBA night three: Coach asks if there's any juice left in LeBron James vs. the Cavaliers after the 76ers' opening-night win at Madison Square Garden ( Sky Sports ), whether Denver or Oklahoma City can challenge the Spurs after Victor Wembanyama's rough opener ( CBS Sports ), and the Clippers dedicating a win to suspended owner Steve Ballmer ( ESPN ).

Coach opens with Angel Reese, whose 21 and 12 in Atlanta's 26-point Game 3 win put the Dream up 2-1 in the WNBA Finals ( ESPN ). Then Mikey P and Peyton Lodge join for NBA opening night. Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg said after the Lakers' rout of Golden State that he "lost all respect" for Luka over his complaining ( Yahoo Sports ). Peyton agrees Luka hunts fouls, and Mikey calls Lendeborg "Draymond Jr." The crew also gets into LeBron James trading words with Knicks fans at MSG, Anthony Edwards' 45 in Minnesota's win in Miami ( NBA.com ), and LaMelo Ball telling Ernie Johnson that changing diapers is "not my job." Tyrese Haliburton scored 23 in his first game since tearing his Achilles in the 2025 Finals, as Indiana won at New Orleans ( AP ). The Pacers' return video, narrated by Triple H, sends Coach back to Triple H's 2002 return at Madison Square Garden after his torn quad, which he calls the greatest physical comeback in wrestling history. He was in the building. Raphael Esparza brings Inside Info for Patriots at Bears ( ChicagoBears.com ), the first Soldier Field game since Mike Ditka's death. Mikey P (a Bears fan, if you hadn't heard) predicts a blowout, and Producer Man rolls out the Superfans. The crew debates Caleb Williams or Drake Maye for your lineup, gives their best bets for the game, and explains why neither 4-2 team can afford a loss.

Coach opens Rant Wednesday by laying down the Super Chat ground rules, then hands Vince Russo the floor (with a parental advisory). Russo's problem with Monday's Raw in San Diego : after his face-to-face with Sami Zayn, Roman Reigns was shown leaving the building, and Russo says he and Ed Ferrara learned in the Attitude Era that when Stone Cold left the arena, the minute-by-minutes fell off a cliff. His fix keeps Roman, The Usos and The 946 in the building from the first 15 minutes, building on last week's main event, where Carmelo Hayes joined The 946 . Then Russo explains, for adults only, where the wrestling term "pop" comes from and why an entrance is a reaction, not a pop. Coach says too many fans think they know better than the people who built the business, challenges the chat to call the Hot Take Hotline, and Russo tells his Colorado Rockies dream. Russo takes aim at the reporters, from Sean Ross Sapp to Dave Meltzer and a comment about Mercedes Moné's WrestleDream match with Thekla , and Coach pushes back on Russo's "if I'm ever hired back" with Jim Cornette's recent comments . Super Chats: what would force WWE to chase casual fans again, Roman Reigns on why he doesn't work house shows and why he needs a pre-taped office, Raw against big NFL nights, the Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn dark match after Raw , Triple H and the Test/Stephanie wedding, writing Triple H back on TV, scrapping the brand split, and Joe Hendry. Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn is set for Crown Jewel on Nov 7 in Riyadh . Housekeeping: Meet-and-greets with Coach or Vince next Tuesday at 8 PM ET (six spots, link in chat).

NBA opening night delivered drama, and Coach and Mikey P start in New York. The Knicks raised their first banner in 53 years, but LeBron James' Sixers won 106-100 at Madison Square Garden in his Philadelphia debut ( ESPN ), and the giveaway shirts on every seat carried the wrong season ( OutKick ). Detroit erased a 22-point deficit with a 23-0 run against Boston ( NBA.com ), Victor Wembanyama went 1-for-13 in OKC, and Jalen Brunson's upcoming Law & Order: SVU cameo ( ESPN ) sets off Mikey's new rule: no changing teams after a TV cameo. Then the NFL. The league concluded the Eagles handled Jalen Hurts' blood clot appropriately, so no punishment for the team, Nick Sirianni or Howie Roseman ( PFT ). Coach and Mikey argue the story isn't over, and Coach reminds Philly that Cowboys at Eagles is Monday night. It's Wednesday, so F-Day rants honor the late, great Howie Schwab: Big Tommy C is suspended for one show, Mikey goes after the Bills' spitting suspensions ( ESPN ; Sam Franklin Jr. is appealing), and Coach begs players to learn time and score. Mikey's uncle names it: "kitchen dances." Back to school: five of the AP top seven lost last week, Miami is No. 1 and BYU jumped to No. 2 ( AP Top 25 ). The hosts break down Indiana at Michigan, LSU at Auburn after Auburn's upset of Georgia ( Auburn ), BYU at UCF, Ole Miss at Texas and Arch Manning's moment, and Houston at Utah with College GameDay in Salt Lake City ( Utah ). They close on Ohio State losing QB Julian Sayin indefinitely ( WHIO ) and what it means for Jeremiah Smith. Takes and picks are the hosts' opinions; lines move.

Coach opens Tuesday's Afternoon Drive on NBA opening night: LeBron James starts his first season with the 76ers on a career-low salary and a Fanatics helicopter commute from New York, and he has to sit through the Knicks raising their championship banner at Madison Square Garden. Coach also previews Thunder-Spurs and says only Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Detroit can hang with the top of the West. ( NBA.com ) Then football. Coach's power rankings: the Chiefs on top after Patrick Mahomes tied Tom Brady for the fewest games to 100 wins, then the 49ers, the Bills and the unbeaten Vikings ( ESPN ). In the NFL news, Coach rips the Eagles' handling of Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season with blood clots in his lungs, and reacts live to The Athletic's report that the NFL found the Eagles followed proper protocols and won't be disciplined: "maybe they didn't break protocol, but it's not the right thing to do by Jalen Hurts" ( The Athletic ). Also: Davante Adams out 6–10 weeks ( NFL.com ) and the report that Jay-Z picked himself for the Super Bowl LXI halftime show. Then the Tuesday tradition: every Week 7 game in two minutes or less, from Patriots-Bears on Thursday night to Cowboys-Eagles on Monday night, including the Steelers and Saints in Paris, the Titans releasing Jordan Elliott before hosting the Browns, the Colts after Chris Ballard's firing and the report they called Peyton Manning ( Yahoo Sports ), Coach's challenge to Joe Burrow, and why Kansas City is protecting Mahomes from himself.

Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn opened Monday's Raw in San Diego face to face, World Heavyweight Champion against Undisputed WWE Champion, ahead of their champion vs. champion match at Crown Jewel in Riyadh on Nov. 7 ( prowrestling.net , Wrestling Inc ). JDFromNY liked the dynamic but says it sold WarGames and Survivor Series more than Crown Jewel. Coach doesn't see Sami on Roman's level. Then Reigns told Jackie Redmond he was leaving and drove off, only to stand tall with the Bloodline against The 946 at the end of the night. JD says it made Roman look like he doesn't care about his family; Coach wanted a 946 huddle backstage to tie it together. Both want The 946, now with Carmelo Hayes and led by Royce Keys, to get an actual story. Coach also takes aim at the video from Carmelo Hayes and Kelani Jordan's wedding that showed Solo Sikoa celebrating with the man who just hit him with a crowbar ( Fightful ). SmackDown gets the "nothing burger" treatment: Cody Rhodes beat Baron Corbin by DQ when Randy Orton interfered, and Paige beat Nikki Bella ( Sacnilk ). JD wants the Orton story to finally go somewhere; Coach says Cody needs layers and a heel turn. Crown Jewel is still going ahead after the deadly strikes on Riyadh's airport, with the US advisory at Level 3, "Reconsider Travel" ( The National , Briefly ). Coach thinks it's really about protecting WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh. In AEW, Adam Copeland announced on Dynamite that he'll retire in 2027 ( Wrestling Inc ), and Ilja Dragunov arrived at WrestleDream, where Will Ospreay retained in Clockwork Carnage ( Wrestle Purists ). Paul Heyman's Heyman Hustle TV has a roundtable with Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair and O'Shea Jackson Jr. hosted by Jacob Heyman ( Fightful ), and WWE advertised Sami Zayn vs. Cody Rhodes for the title in San Diego as a post-Raw match ( Heavy ). The Kick Out: did Roman help Raw or hurt it? JD says he isn't there enough to care; Coach would take the title off him and make him a special attraction. Coach says he was told WrestleMania 43 is Cody vs. CM Punk and Oba Femi vs. Roman Reigns, matching early reports of WWE's discussions ( Fightful ). Super Chats cover fears over Crown Jewel, the San Diego crowd and Coach's biggest career segment, LA Knight and Bron Breakker's scary fall at the Hawaii live event ( 411Mania ), Reigns saying live events no longer make sense for him ( Wrestling Inc ), and whether Triple H is going through the motions.

It's the busiest day in the BTT universe and Coach opens with a beef: everyone at his New York autograph signing asked "Where is Vince?" Then the guys go in order. SmackDown on Oct 16 opened with Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn, Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae talking before Trick Williams came out, and Russo says shows have to start hot. Coach wonders why the stars are everywhere but wrestling, from Cody Rhodes promoting Street Fighter to Seth Rollins' new ESPN deal . Russo pitches the angle that should have built tonight's Cody Rhodes vs. Sami Zayn title match on Raw , and both hosts take issue with Paige beating Nikki Bella with her feet on the ropes: the babyface cheated to beat the heel. The Hawaii house shows bring the business talk: Bron Breakker's nasty fall against LA Knight, a babyface celebration Russo says "rubs our face in it," and why house shows are where talent learns. Coach tells his West Palm Beach tables story and his "I am not Shawn Michaels" moment before wrestling Ric Flair in Afghanistan, and the guys back Drew McIntyre's comments on choreographed matches . A Super Chat about Vince McMahon's writing team leads to Russo's claim that he'd add a million SmackDown viewers in a year, and Coach says the creative team should be held to the same standard as an NFL GM after the Colts fired Chris Ballard . Russo builds a full story for Fraxiom on the spot, says Nikki Bella should be WWE's Kim Kardashian, and asks why nobody uses Paige's wrestling family. Then Carmelo Hayes' wedding video with Solo Sikoa, Roller Derby, and Cody's "crossroads" quote raise the big question: who replaces the stars leaving for Hollywood? Super Chats close it out, from Jim Johnston to Linda McMahon to UFC knockouts. Housekeeping: Book Intros — 10 one-on-one minutes with Coach or Vince, next Tuesday at 8 PM ET.

Coach opens the week with the news of the day: the Colts fired GM Chris Ballard after Sunday's 26-20 home loss to the Titans dropped them to 2-4, the Rays are a win from joining the Brewers in the World Series , and the Bills' C.J. Gardner-Johnson expects a fine after being ejected for spitting in Buffalo's 33-30 win over the Raiders. Then Mikey P and Brandon Combs walk through a historic college football Saturday: five of the top seven lost , including No. 1 Georgia at the gun against Auburn and No. 2 Notre Dame at BYU, where Brandon says the clock controversy isn't why the Irish lost. The crew asks whether Arch Manning should be dominating by now, how NIL parity and shaky quarterback play reshape the playoff race, and what to make of the new AP poll with Miami at No. 1. The NFL Weekend Rewatch covers the biggest surprises — C.J. Stroud and the Texans, a road game in Atlanta that sounded like a Bears home game , Coach's beef with Caleb Williams, and the Browns' 13-10 comeback over the Ravens — and the biggest disappointments: the Rams losing to Arizona, the Cowboys' 23-13 loss in Green Bay , and the Chargers falling to 0-6 in a 22-6 loss to the Chiefs , with Coach predicting a change for offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel (his take; no move had been announced as of Monday afternoon). Midway through, Jalen Hurts' season-ending blood clot diagnosis breaks on set: the crew reacts, reads Tom Pelissero's report on the sleepless night before his start in London and the Eagles' statement, and Brandon says Nick Sirianni should be fired. The show closes with Commanders at 49ers on Monday Night Football : best bets (opinion only; lines move), whether Dan Quinn can stop coaching scared, and whether Washington can pull the upset.

Thursday means Thursday Night Football, and Coach opens Week 6 with Seahawks at Broncos ( SI ). Both teams are 3-2, but Coach argues Seattle is better than people think and Denver is living on preseason hype. He points to Bo Nix's 123-yard game in the win over the Chargers and a season line of 942 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions ( ClutchPoints ), J.K. Dobbins' slow start, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's seven receiving touchdowns and the Cooper Kupp fourth-down play that came up short against the 49ers ( Seahawks.com ). He calls letting Kenneth Walker III go to Kansas City a calculated mistake by Seattle ( KCTV5 ) and warns against player props on a Thursday. Picks are Coach's opinion, and lines move. With the Brewers up 3-0 on the Dodgers ( MLB.com ), Coach asks what a sweep would mean and builds a no-salary-cap NFL super team to show what the Dodgers have done: Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen, Bijan Robinson, CeeDee Lamb, JSN, Puka Nacua, Aaron Donald, Myles Garrett and Micah Parsons, plus the chat's picks of Justin Jefferson and Brock Bowers. Then he takes on the players' side of MLB's salary-cap fight ( PhillyVoice ). He calls them delusional, predicts no baseball next season without a cap, and backs a salary floor, noting the Dodgers' payroll is bigger than the Brewers', Rays' and Guardians' combined ( Front Office Sports ). The back half gets personal: why BTT mixes sports and wrestling, why Coach stopped reading his mentions, why "we don't do podcasts, we do shows," and the WWE-era dirt-sheet writer who trashed him for six months and then turned out to be a fan writing "as a heel." In the chat segment Coach says Roman Reigns should be a special attraction rather than the main event while he splits time with Hollywood ( Yahoo Sports ; Street Fighter opens Oct 16). He also talks about how Coach and Bro critiques wrestling and about plans for BTT's premium membership. Housekeeping: new VOD tonight at 7 PM ET (who will be the last unbeaten team to lose?); the BTT Hot Take Hotline (60 seconds or less); virtual meet-and-greets with Coach or Vince Russo through Intros Live (@BookIntros on X), Tuesday, Oct 27, at 8 PM ET; no live shows Friday, Oct 16 (Coach does a virtual signing through the K&S Facebook page); Coach at K&S WrestleFest on Saturday with Lita, Snitsky, RVD and Max Caster; BTT is back live Monday at 10 AM ET.
