#BecauseMiami: Because Purgatory

NFL Week 8 is about to kick off. We list the top five NFL games to watch, including a revenge game (let's be real) for Aaron Rodgers against the Packers. Then Dave answers a huge hypothetical question: What if Seattle never left the AFC? Then Brandon Perna answers a philosophical question: Who in their right mind would ever want to become an NFL official? Then Ahman Green answers a monetary question: Would Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers ever pick up a tab? Safe to say, Dave Dameshek and the gang have the necessary answers to the most important questions to the most important sport in the world on Football America!

Johnny Lazerus of the Daily Faceoff's Morning Cuppa Hockey podcast joins the show for this week's guest interview to discuss his New York Rangers' slow start on offense, how Matthew Schaefer's incredible start has elevated the image of the New York Islanders, and the potential of the Utah Mammoth after a great start.
