Kevin starts the show by giving his thoughts on the Monday Night Football booth, and what he thinks has gone wrong in the broadcast in the first two weeks of the NFL season. Barry Svrluga from The Washington Post joins to talk about the lack of fans at the Redskins home opener and why it happened at this point, and also discusses the big announcement from Congressional that the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup are coming to the area. NFL Buy or Sell is next, where Kevin buys an aspect of the Cowboys, but isn’t as bullish on the Bengals as some are. Finally, is DC going to legalize sports gambling? All that and more on today’s show.
Thom Loverro has once again braved the long journey to join Kevin. Thom gives his thoughts on the Redskins home opener, both on the field and in the crowd. They also discuss what Chris Thompson said in the locker room, and what the Redskins players said they felt in the locker room and at practices before the game. The Redskins brought in two receivers, are either of them going to be helpful? They then share thoughts on the Nationals, including the somewhat-starting revelation that this week could feature the last 7 games in DC for Bryce Harper as a National. Thom also gives his thoughts on the GGG/Canelo fight, and reminisces about old Sugar Ray Leonard fights. Finally, The Sports Fix is officially back, as Kevin and Thom get into a fight about Colt McCoy.
