We're still in disbelief, but THAT just happened.On Wednesday night, Spokane hosted a CONCACAF Champions League match and treated a record crowd to a Sounders FC victory over the Whitecaps at ONE Stadium. Meanwhile, Velocity FC advanced to the second round of the U.S. Open Cup and Zephyr FC put Brooklyn to the sword on a frigid Saturday evening. During this episode, Benji and Mike describe what was a surreal and historic moment for soccer in Spokane: the atmosphere in the stadium, the chaos (anxiety?!) of tracking two matches at the same time, and what's next for professional soccer in the Lilac City.

We basically had every sport in the world at our fingertips last night- football, basketball, hockey, soccer, cricket… And today, we have an NFL trade deadline and Dallas made a trade with Cincinnati which left some people scratching their heads. Will John Schneider get involved in a trade or two before today's 1pm deadline? :30- The College football playoff show begins tonight and while tonight's rankings don't really matter, we still love to speculate! :45- Next up, the Seahawks host the Cardinals on Sunday and the Cardinals have a bit of a QB question going on.

The Huskies are on bye with just 4 games remaining 5. Game 6 of the World Series is tonight 6. Sounders host Minnesota on Monday 7. CBB also starts Monday 8. Kraken host the Rangers tomorrow :30- We have suffered from some recency bias in wanting the Blue Jays to lose the World Series, should we really all be rooting against the Dodgers and their plan to ruin baseball. :45- We take a look at the Big Ten matchups this weekend and make our fantasy adjustments. Did Chuck make the right choice? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RICK NEUHEISEL (CBS Sports) makes his weekly visit to talk College Football. Is this new world of CFB coach firings sustainable? And if it's not, how does it get fixed? Coach has some strong thoughts! :30- The Ol Judge is here! - I'm not jealous of the Dodgers because they're World Champs, I'm jealous because they have Shohei. - After what we saw last night, the Commanders can't beat the Seahawks - There's no excuse for missing 3 of 5 penalty kicks in Major league soccer. :45- We close out Tuesday's show with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We didn't know if we were going to watch the World Series, but two-thirds of us are sure glad we watched last night's 18-inning classic between the Dodgers and Blue Jays. The other third is still really glad they haven't watched a second of it. Did you watch? :30- There was a lot to watch last night between the World Series, Sounders playoff game and MNF, which we used as a scouting opportunity for the Hawks next opponent. The Seahawks and Commanders face off in Sunday Night Football and this isn't the same Commanders team we saw last year. They're beat up and without their starting QB, and defensively, they have been struggling, so while this may have looked like an L in August, it is looking like a winnable game if the Seahawks can play it right. :45- It's Halloween week and we have a costume idea for the Sounders.

It's time to talk College Football and the Huskies got a much-needed win over Illinois at home on Saturday. They're on bye next weekend and if they can win out, it's not out of the question to think that they could end up in the CFP. Meanwhile, Jedd Fisch bristled at the idea that he is looking elsewhere with the big program head coaching opportunities that are out there. He's earned the reputation, but we like seeing him scoff at the idea of leaving Montlake. Once again, college football is evolving and now coaches are getting fired and paid out by big donors when they aren't achieving the goal. How long can this last? :30- JACKSON FELTS joins the show ahead of tonight's Sounders game. It's round 1 of the MLS playoffs and the Sounders have a tough matchup with Minnesota in the best of three. :45- Here comes Halloween! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines and the Mariners look to go up 2-0 in Toronto this afternoon. Fatigue was a BIG storyline on the broadcast last night, but it felt overblown as the Mariners seemed just fine and got the game 1 win. :30- Have we had a better weekend in Seattle sports than this past weekend? :35- We had a rough week last week, can Chuck right the ship with his Fact or Fiction pick this morning? :45- ABCs of the Mariners - V is for Vlad Jr: he was electric against the Yankees, but Miller and staff kept him under control last night. - W is for Wilson: there was a narrative going that AJ Hinch outmanaged Dan Wilson, but that changed when Hinch took out Skubal on Friday.
