With the bye week now behind them, the Miami Dolphins are back to work preparing for the final six games of the season. First up: the struggling New Orleans Saints. On its face, this looks like matchup that favors the Dolphins. The Saints' offense has been largely out of sorts all season, save for the work of WR1 Chris Olave. Tyler Shough took over at quarterback from Spencer Rattler and has been uninspiring. Future Hall of Fame running back Alvin Kamara hasn't been able to operate as his typically high level and he left the Saints' Week 11 game against the Falcons with a knee injury. The Saint's defense has been better, but they are not the dominant force they have been in years past. Can Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins' offense, which was not firing on all cylinders in Spain two weeks ago, recover and perform well enough to earn the Dolphins a third straight win? Can their defense continue to improve and shut down the underpowered Saints? Aaron and Josh are back to discuss all of this and more on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

Guest: Blue Jays Associate Manager DeMarlo Hale The Blue Jays are going into the season's final weekend having clinched a playoff spot but not knowing whether they'll be the first, second or fourth seed in the American League. The only thing that's assured is that they will open the playoffs at home, whether that's in the wild card round or with a first-round bye. We talk to Jays' associate manager DeMarlo Hale about a wild week in which the Jays won just twice in eight tries and were almost swept by both Kansas City and Boston. Hale, who was John Gibbons' bench coach with the Jays in their 2015 and '16 playoff runs, and also coached in post-seasons under Terry Francona and Buck Showalter, weighs in on the playoffs to come, on the Jays sputtering to the finish line and on all the recent controversies with umpires and replay reviews. Also, we open the mailbag and take about a dozen of your questions, most of which have to do with the playoff roster and starting rotation. And thoughts on DFAing Alek Manoah.

Then, Jeff and Kevin debate whether the Dodgers should play Shohei Ohtani in the outfield in the playoffs. Finally, former MLB manager Derek Shelton stops by (30:38) to give a manager's perspective on how the Jays should handle Yesavage down the stretch and into the playoffs.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

American Eagle sparks backlash for touting Sydney Sweeney's 'great jeans'American Eagle's “great jeans” advertising campaign with actor Sydney Sweeney is at the center of the latest political firestorm online, drawing accusations of racial undertones in its messaging.Sweeney, who rose to fame for her starring roles in HBO's “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” is the star of the clothing retailer's latest denim-focused fall campaign, with the tagline, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”It's a play on words for Sweeney's “great genes.” Indeed, in one clip, which accrued more than 1.1 million views on American Eagle's Instagram page, Sweeney stands before a poster of herself titled, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” before the word “genes” is crossed out and replaced with “jeans.”Round-the-world walker prepares for home stretchA man hoping to become the first person to complete an unbroken round-the-world walk is preparing for the last leg of his journey.Karl Bushby set off from Chile in 1998. Since then he has walked across American and Asian continents, swam 186 miles (300km) across the Caspian Sea and fought off ice lumps and polar bears through the Bering Strait, all without using any form of transport.The former paratrooper has less than 2,000 miles (3219km) left to walk before he arrives at his home city of Hull.Mr Bushby, who is currently in Mexico waiting for a visa to complete his challenge, has said returning home will be a "very strange place to be" after being away for some 27 years.Following his 31-day swim across the Caspian Sea last year, Mr Bushby said he continued his journey to Azerbaijan and then through to Turkey.The traveller, originally from Sutton Park, said he "had to step aside" from his mission, named the Goliath Expedition, while he waited for a visa.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
