On this week's Small Takes, the guys first race around the soccer world -- a new EPL season (and a new long-shot bet from Jeff?), MLS scheduling woes, and more European cups. Then, it's ALL college football on the eve of our first somewhat real weekend slate. A new season of Notre Dame football brings with it an unprecedented conference schedule and an unproven offense outside of Ian Book. The Pick Six covers the rest of the weekends biggest games, plus a few from the NFL.

On Episode 101 of the Small Takes, there's always another European soccer cup to learn about. Plus, the MLS is Actually Back. Then, the guys give their picks out of the East and West NBA Playoffs. And stick around to experience some very raw emotion about the Big 10's football cancellation - and hope for a fall season still.

It's the Small Takes centennial, and it's only fitting to have an episode is filled with nostalgia, callbacks, and off-topic discussions regarding baking. In the midst of that, though, the guys also find time for the latest and greatest around the sports world. They recap EPL's season ending and what to watch for in the MLS knockout stage; catch up on everything you forgot about the NBA since March; and finally, a bonus "double" conference preview for Big 10 and Pac 12 football.

As the sports world begins to kick back into gear, the Small Takes boys could not be more excited. They provide soccer (especially MLS) with some much-needed shine (kind of) before moving onto a full round of MLB division previews. Then, with all the optimism they can muster, it's the first of hopefully many college football conference previews, starting with the ACC.

The guys break down return-to-play plans across the sports world -- the good (MLS, NBA), the bad (MLB), and the weird (CFB). Then, in the spirit of The Last Dance, it's a Fire Four of Sports Documentary Ideas that might land John a new career in filmmaking.

The boys are back, even though sports aren't. There's still plenty to catch up on, from life events to quarantine activities. And a few sports topics, too - including The Last Dance debates and NFL Draft winners/losers.

It's a late night pod, featuring all things in the worlds of futbol/soccer (EPL/MLS Cup Finals), NFL coaching woes, and an almost-live reaction to the first release of the CFP Rankings. Then, the guys run through a strong slate of college football games for the Pick 6 and John's increasingly hot Lead Pipe Lock.

It's the end of a magical run for Jeff's Minnesota FC Loons, and a continuation of USMNT frustration for Cooper and John. Then, Dope or Not hits on Sam Darnold, the World Series, and #ThisLeague. And of course, the standard CFB business.

After some technical difficulties getting the podcast uploaded, Episode 94 is here at last (recorded last Monday). The guys break down all things MLS playoffs, especially Minnesota FC's impending cinderella run. Then, they hand out NFL coaching pink slips before diving into college football. Notre Dame's mid-term assessment, the Pick Six, Heisman Hype Train, and more.

John tries to sell the gang on Centigrade over Fahrenheit. Jeff is (maybe) Minnesota bound for the MLS playoffs and (maybe) a tattoo? Cooper is despondent over his real and fantasy losses from the weekend. And amidst it all, the Small Takes cover all things NFL and CFB, take stock of Notre Dame's loss/moral victory in Athens, and bask in Michigan's implosion.
