Gretzpo joins me once again to talk about the exciting wildcard races in both the American and National Leagues. Besides discussing the Red Sox, Rays, Angels, Braves, and Cardinals and their respective chances, we also touch on the following:
- John Lackey and his relationships with his teammates
- Boston's pitching staff
- Ray's pitching staff
- Gretzpo is leaving?
- Braves' mananger Fredi Gonzalez's use of his relievers
- Sir Albert and St. Louis

Enjoy.
Gretzpo himself describes Gladiator as his favourite movie of all time, so we dig into the 2000 Best Picture winner. We touch on many subjects about the film including my assertion that 2000 Russell Crowe would have no chance of being cast in this movie if it was being made in 2011.
And there's no way the movie would have been as good.

With Peyton Manning's season-threatening and possibly career-ending neck injuries, I wanted to revisit the discussion of the best quarterback of this generation. It's really a race between Manning and Tom Brady. Gretzpo joins me to discuss the following:
- the leagcies of both quarterbacks
- Manning as everyman
- Brady possibly being underrated
- Eli Whitney and the invention of the cotton gin
- injuries today versus 25 years ago

CSzem and I discuss the US Open in advance of Monday's final (we recorded this on Sunday night), but I think we prove that it ultimately doesn't matter and our talking points would be the same if Djokovic or Nadal won the title. We discuss:
- The end of King Roger's reign?
- Mirka Federer
- Novak and Nadal
- Andy Roddick
- Brooklyn Decker
- Serena Williams

CSzem couldn'ty make the recording this week so, rather than let Gretzpo flail in the week trying to discuss non-baseball sports, we stuck to a two-part movie podcast instead.
With the start of the NFL regular season upon us, we decided to tackle Rudy. The podcast is divided into two sections -- the first half will be posted today and the second half on Thursday.
