We return just in time for the celebrated “pro sports equinox", that special sliver of the year when the big four pro sports leagues are all in action simultaneously. These last few weeks demonstrated some parity in the NFL, with all of the major contenders for the Superbowl suffering some puzzling losses. KC struggles in the high altitude of Denver. Was it Taylor Swift’s fault for not showing up? (Heresy!) The Niners are in the midst of a 3-game skid, and their bye week couldn’t come fast enough. With a puzzling loss to the Jets, a dismantling of Miami, and a squeaker over Washington, Philly needs to pick a lane. In baseball, chaos reigns as the World Series features a match-up of two wildcard teams. Texas looks to finish off Arizona to earn its first ever title, and Corey Seager seems on pace for his second World Series MVP. And, finally, the NBA season is off and running. Chef Curry is showing zero signs of aging, Wemby worked a little magic with a crazy 20-point rally to knock off Kevin Durant’s Suns this week, and the Harden experiment is finally over in Philly.
