BroStorm Sports, Episode 5: NFL Trade deadline Trick or Treat, Geno not writing back & the undisputed worst teammate Kyrie Irving
In this Episode we BroStorm the NFL Trade deadline, trick or treat style, as well as talk about surprise contenders, and whether or not they are for real. As always we make our best NFL bets for week 9 after another strong 5-2 showing in week 8. And finally, we touch on the NBA, coming back to our pre-season awards given the exploits of Kyrie Irving & Russell Westbrook and briefly touch on where we're at in the World Series.
We start this Episode by Trick or Treating, NFL style, focused first on the Trade deadline, and then on surprise contenders and whether or not they are for real.
- Did teams get tricked or a treat on their deals made so far.
- Sasha thinks the Chiefs got tricked on Kadarius Toney
- Everyone feels good about the Eagles trade for Robert Quinnn
- Jets got tricked on their pickup of James Robinson, who is no Breece Hall
- We love what Christian McCaffery brings to the niners offense
- And Finally, no one feels super strong about Roquan Smith substantially changing things for the Ravens, especially in a contract year.
- For Surprise contenders - Geno Smith & the Seahawks are for real, and everyone appreciates Geno 'not writing back' to his haters
- The Vikings and Dolphins are for real, and while their quarterbacks leave something to be desired, both are better with new head coaches
- Finally, we all think the Jets, Giants, and Falcons are fake contenders, mostly because of poor quarterback play.
We also make best bets for week 9, after going 5-2 on our picks in week 8. That is 10-3 cumulatively over the last two weeks, which would be hard to beat anywhere. Intern P is taking the Titans and the Viking to Cover, Scott is taking the Patriots & the Falcons, and Sasha is taking the Bills and the Seahawks.

Quick hitters elsewhere in Sports:
- We discuss why Kyrie Irving is still the worst teammate in the NBA (and probably all of sports) and why the Nets are such a disaster
- We hit on Russell Westbrook: have the Lakers found something bringing him off the bench?
- Finally, we are two games through the World Series, which is actually getting some decent viewership on TV. Series is tied 1-1, and Intern P has already made some questionable MVP bets.
