Hungry for more than turkey? We lay out a full-course sports spread that starts with six-figure World Series souvenirs and a one-of-one card flip, then carves into the MLB offseason where Toronto bets big on Dylan Cease and Boston buys stability with Sonny Gray. We talk arbitration leaps, a suddenly cost-conscious Yankees front office, and an NPB ace who’d rather beat the Dodgers than join them. Reinvention is a theme too—Joey Gallo’s pitching pivot lands alongside the moving story of Curtis Pride and the deeper legacy of deaf players reaching the majors.

On the hardwood, we honor Rodney Rogers, spotlight Rick Fox’s run for office in the Bahamas, and check the pulse of the league: Detroit’s win streak hints at a throwback identity, the Lakers’ big three silence doubts in the Battle of LA, and the Emirates Cup groups tighten as seeding gets real. Then college football pours on rivalry heat—shakeups, blowouts, and a rankings picture that rewards timing as much as records. Selection math meets emotion when historic matchups threaten to rewrite December.

The NFL goes full chaos. The Bills take a beating up front, the Ravens need Derrick Henry to bail them out, and the Lions grind behind Jameer Gibbs while rookies and backups decide outcomes everywhere else. We unpack a kicker carousel, a 24-point Cowboys surge that rattles the Eagles, and a 49ers win that shows how a young defense can steady a turnover storm. A low-blow dustup is handled with uncommonly cool heads, and Brandon Aiyuk’s contract saga becomes a blueprint on leverage, value, and why playing now protects tomorrow.

Cap it with a stacked holiday slate: Packers-Lions for NFC North leverage, Cowboys-Chiefs for proof or exposure, Ravens-Bengals with fireworks if the stars are healthy, and a Black Friday brawl that tests whether the Bears or Eagles are more “for real.” Subscribe, share with a sports-obsessed friend, and leave a review telling us which moment shocked you most this week. Your take might make the next show.
