The show also features an extended trip inside Waddle’s World, where Tom weighs in on college-football chaos, LSU’s potential SEC expulsion, Clemson’s decline, the NFL’s confusing Australia trip, Aaron Judge’s return, Shohei Ohtani’s pitching status, and some bizarre news stories.

The guys discuss Rome Odunze’s injury, Ozzy Trapilo’s recovery, Jaylon Johnson’s emergence as a “Ben guy,” and what the Bears must improve defensively.
