AJ Daulerio from Deadspin joins the show to talk about the PHILLIES IN THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!

But first....we talk about the news of the week. We get AJ’s take on this whole Brett Favre situation. This time, Fox and ESPN are in the middle of a ‘he said-no he didn’t say’ feud and Brett Favre is the ‘he.’ Why does Favre get into these situation? Is he tarnishing his legacy?

We also talk about Hitler. Jemele Hill was suspended from ESPN for using a Hitler reference in her column. Lou Holtz was not suspended for equating Michigan head coach – as a joke, it seems – to Hitler. Double standard? And why do people keep making those references?

We also talk about the bomb Rick Telander dropped on us the night before.  If you didn’t hear it, we’re talking about Telander, a sauna and Jay Mariotti.  Yeesh.

We do talk baseball, and wonder how Deadspin will cover the World Series with the boss being such a fan of one team.  Will he recuse himself?  Will he go on the offensive? Deadspin has a national audience but part of its charm is that it’s written by people you get to know. When Leitch was at the helm, he was an example of the corn-fed lovable Midwestern Cardinals fans. AJ is from Philly. People hate Philly, so by extension, is he getting more heat than Leitch did?

We talk about Why Can’t Us and give AJ his due credit for helping start a craze in this town. This thing is a phenomenon. Oh, and it’s in the audio, but I’ll say it here...if you are one of those people who took the idea and made your own shirts, I’m not a fan of you. But alas, most good ideas become great ideas by other people. So steal away. HOWEVER, if you are doing it to try and make a profit, I will hunt you down, steal your money and donate it to ALS. Like our money. Steal the idea, fine, but don’t steal the money.

We also talk about some on the field stuff, including AJ predictions.  Put it this way, his heart and his head aren’t agreeing, no matter what he says about not giving us a prediction. But we break down the series talking about who the MVP will be and who will have THAT moment....there’s always a moment.

Nick and Dan end the show with their own predictions.

Go Phils!
