Did Minecraft Ruin the Steelers?! (Plus NFL Ref Chaos, LeBron’s Helicopter & White Sox Fever)

Did Minecraft ruin the Steelers?!

Mike Tomlin has spent 12 years building a city in Minecraft, and naturally, we had to investigate whether his Minecraft career somehow coincides with the Steelers’ lack of Super Bowl appearances. We also discuss childhood hobbies, weird obsessions, and why Mike Tomlin becoming a Twitch streamer could be incredible.

Then the NFL referee situation gets completely unhinged. Two referees were suspended after altercations with players, Rams coaches were caught taunting Eagles fans after their comeback win in Philadelphia, and we discuss just how common it is for refs to talk trash to players.

Plus:

⚾ Are the White Sox America’s Team? Could everyone actually get behind a White Sox-Dodgers World Series? And why have so many MLB playoff series been absolute blowouts?

📊 Wiseguy’s Top 10 College Football teams after Week 5

🔥 ScottSki45’s Stat of the Week: Jackson Chourio is unreal

⚾ Why MLB playing playoff games in the middle of weekday afternoons is driving fans nuts

⚽ Has Vini Jr. been replaced by a clone who forgot how to play soccer?

🚁 Did Fanatics pull a Clippers-style cap circumvention move to help LeBron? No. But the internet has questions.

💰 Why are professional athletes promoting Kalshi?

🏒 Did Ovi’s retirement announcement cause secondary-market ticket prices to explode, and is there a conspiracy hiding somewhere in there?

It’s another episode of sports, nonsense, conspiracy theories, arguments, weird hobbies, and tangents.
