# Current Contests
- NFL Survivor Pool holding steady at three survivors. Hang in there, champs!
- Bad showing from your hosts in the UEFA contest, but we'll get back on top.
- I was eliminated from the WBBL Survivor Pool while we were recording, but missed the opportunity to react live.
- We continue to not understand how cricket works, but enjoy the ongoing CriczZap Contest.
- First round picks are now open for the NBA Emirates Cup Survivor Pool. We talk through our pick strategy and how challenging this first slate looks.
# Hockey Talk
I attempt to explain what hockey is for our international listeners and @grayruby explains what it really is. Then we talk about Ovechkin chasing the Great One's career scoring record and how it fits in with some other remarkable career records in other sports.
# NFL
- After the trade deadline there are a few changes to the power rankings in the league, but on the whole it wasn't terribly impactful.
- We also tried to figure out why the recent top draft picks are being outplayed by the 2nd picks.
- Somewhere in there, @grayruby started lamenting how badly @Public_N_M_E is beating up on him in their fantasy matchup
# NBA Power Rankings
We hash out some disagreements in our NBA Power Rankings and why we're both wrong to think the Pacers are good. Shoutout to the Cavs for continuing to roll.
