    Today we continue our series of Underdog Tales, highlighting some of the greatest upsets in sports history. This episode, we take a page out of the NFL storybook to discuss the rise of Kurt Warner and the 1999 Rams! After nearly a decade without a playoff birth, the Rams were heading into 1999 with a new star running back in Marshall Faulk, a promising new rookie receiver in Torry Holt, and a sharp new QB in Trent Green. Could this be the year they made a huge leap back to prominence? But when Trent Green went down in the season, all that optimism was now in question. The fate of the season laid in the hands of the backup quarterback, Kurt Warner. Warner had played Arena Football and spent time in NFL Europe. But could this unheard-of, undrafted player pick up where Green left off? Turns out he could do all that -- and more. What resulted was one of the fastest, most improbable rises of a quarterback and a team. It was the birth of The Greatest Show On Turf. Listen in to hear how it all went down.

How did the Mountaineers pull off the impossible? Listen in to hear how it all went down.

First, Will & Lamb discuss the performances they're most thankful for so far this season. As far as team performances go, for Lamb it's the Chiefs, and for Will it's the Cowboys. When it comes to individual performances, Will is thankful for Deebo Samuel, and Lamb for Cooper Kupp. Lamb takes the reigns from here, and checks the record books. Then it's time to breakdown the biggest upsets of Week 11. First up is Washington spoiling Cam Newton's return to Carolina. Next we have the Colts' takedown of the Bills on the back of Jonathan Taylor's career performance. Finally, Lamb crowns the Upset of the Week: the Texans' win against their rivals, the Titans. After that, Theo Ash visits the show again for another installment of Win Will Blackmon's Money. Theo's 3-leg parlay hit! (Though it ended up really only being a two-legger.) To wrap things up, Lamb and Theo look ahead to the Thanksgiving Day slate of matchups while playing a game called "Stuffing, Drunk Uncle, or Turkey?"

This episode, we dive into a story in the realm of baseball, joined by comedians (and die-hard Cardinals fans) Jason and Randy Sklar. The 2011 St. Louis Cardinals were supposed to be a team on the rise -- but losing star pitcher Adam Wainwright during Spring Training put all that into question. The team still started off hot, but suffered a slew of injuries to key players like Albert Pujols, Matt Holliday, and David Freese. The wins became fewer and farther between. By the time late summer rolled around, it seemed like the idea of making the postseason was only a mirage. They only had a 2% shot to make the Wild Card. But they pulled it together. Not only did they make the playoffs, they went ahead and won the World Series, too. So how did a team with 1000-1 odds to make the playoffs manage to win it all?
