• John Reads the News (1:55)

• What Are You Drinking?™ (4:25)

• The Eagles start hot, then go all Icarus on everyone (5:16)

• Could the Eagles make massive changes during or after the season? (21:19)

• A recap of last week’s Quick Picks, an incredibly brief look at next week’s game that’s really more of a discussion of the Rams’ new five billion – with a B – dollar stadium, and a quick trip around Week 1 of the NFL season (26:11)

• Not to be outdone, the Phillies have some injuries of their own (33:50)

• Why Sixto Sanchez’s performance should have no bearing on re-signing J.T. Realmuto (46:38)

11. 10/27/20: Beasts of the Easts – The Boo Birds Podcast

The Eagles are back in first place after a win over the Giants on Thursday Night Football (7:05).  They're not the only ones, though, as the Union took Toronto FC behind the proverbial woodshed on Saturday night for a 5-0 beatdown that vaulted the local MLS side into first place with three matches remaining in this most irregular of regular seasons (31:48), and you best believe Joe talked about it at length.  Finally, the guys talk about the preposterous finish to Game 4 of the World Series (45:14).  Bet you didn't think you'd hear the name "Enos Slaughter" today, did you?
