I need to get to Orlando for the @poptartsbowl and first edible #mascot to the winning #collegefootball team.  What flavor?  So many questions.  
@razorbackfb could be bringing back #bobbypetrino as their new #offensivecoordinator in 2024.  Interesting choice.  
@partylikearochkind I will be spending #thanksgiving next year in #galveston and going to see @texasfootball beat @aggiefootball in #collegestation #hookem bucket list!  #mikeelko will get a $3.5M bonus if Aggies win the natty.  It’s good to dream. @chicagobears beat @vikings who are thinking of a #quarterback switch.  #joshdobbs aka #passtronaut is the guy.  Not Jaren Hall or Nick Mullens.  #justinfields will be much better off outside the Windy City.  Everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side.  They’re usually wrong. 
 @lakers worst loss ever in #lebronjames career last night to @sixers but you can’t win them all.  
@betterdaysgolfco love the video on #tiktok from your #rollerhockey tournament.  Phenomenal jerseys.  
@thepwhlofficial season starts January 1st 2024 @pwhl_toronto hosts @pwhl_newyork #hockey is the best.

Chris and Tommy are welcomed by new Drop the Mitts member Zack Williams who brings a ton of hockey knowledge to the table. The boys try to answer "What is happening in Edmonton?" Earlier this week Jay Woodcroft was fired and replaced with Kris Knoblauch. The Buffalo Sabres will be missing Tage Thompson for a significant amount of time. Patrick Kane met with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday which was pretty puzzling to the boys as to how that is a fit. Has Mason Lohrei done enough with his opportunity to stay with the Boston Bruins and the Rangers stay red hot even without Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin.

The boys give a touching tribute to Adam Johnson who was lost this past weekend in a devastating accident playing the game he loved. RIP Adam. 

The Ottawas Senators continue to make headlines and not in a positive way. The team will lose an first round pick in 2024, 2025, or 2025. Mason Lohrei makes his much anticipated Boston Bruin's debut and impresses. Will Mason Lohrei get sent back to Providence? 

Chris gets to sit down and chat with US National Development Program Forward and University of Minnesota Gophers commit Brodie Ziemer to talk about how the season has been going, and playing on a wagon like Shattuck St. Mary's and playing with talent like Cole Eiserman, John Whipple and Kristian Epperson just to name a few.

Are the Minutemen of UMass Amherst back? The PWHL Boston team name as the "Wicked" along with the other teams in the league releasing their names.

While Patti spent the weekend in her happy place, it was locker clean-out day all over the league. The Rays have purged their clubhouse of all things Wander, and the Dodgers have literally painted Julio Urias right out of  their history. Shohei cleaned out his own locker but may not be completely absent the rest of the season. Pottymouth checks in with some neglected boyfriend and finds that Thairo Estrada is having his second 20+ stolen base season and leads the Giants in steals, hits, and doubles. Miguel Rojas has found a dance partner in Kiké at the same time his bat is kicking back in. Patti’s former OAK bf Matt Olson just set the Hammers’ single season record for home runs and leads the league in RBI. Nicky Lopez, initially her KC bf, may have to reschedule his early November wedding now that he too is a Hammer and they hope to have other plans at that time of year. Oriole Park at Camden Yards was the place to be this past weekend with the Os/Rays showdown. Adam Jones retired as an Oriole before the Friday game (check out his kids’ qHAR!), where Heston Kjerstad hit a home run for his first major league hit. Queen songs were sung loudly at Saturday’s game where we were “having a good time” watching Grayson Rodriguez pitch 8 shut out innings, Gunnar shocking Disney Prince Tyler Glasnow, and Tristan Gray learning you don’t get capitalized at OPACY until your first hit. 

Roberto Clemente Day was observed on Friday with a day of service for the Pirates, and presentations of each team’s nominee for the Clemente award. We crosstrain with the new Professional Women’s Hockey League who host their inaugural  draft this week, with the backing of LAD minority owner Billie Jean King and LAD Chair Mark Walter. The Mets honored Maybelle Blair with their first Amazin’ Mets Foundation Legacy Award. Japan (undefeated since 2012) and Taiwan easily advanced through Group B of the Women’s Baseball World Cup.
