The Slanted Attic Experience: Episode 71 "Sports Room 11" Postseason Push, Premier League & Plenty of NFL Drama
The Sports Room is back for its eleventh installment and Tyler, Liam, and Graham are covering every corner of the fall sports calendar. From college football officiating chaos to MLB postseason drama, EPL spending controversies, and a full NFL early season breakdown, this one does not let up from start to finish.
They open with the staggering number of reviewed plays in college football this season and how officiating can actually be improved before Liam brings the Phillies postseason outlook into the room with a focus on the importance of reliable relievers. Graham shifts things to the EPL with Tottenham's extravagant spending, the best number nines in soccer, Brighton's outlook, and the ongoing Manchester City charges before the finalized MLB playoff bracket and the clutch factor debate tie the first half together.
The NFL takes over from there. Early season takes, a full Steelers game recap, whether the Packers are actually as bad as they look, and other early storylines and injuries keep things moving. Stadium construction and Super Bowl hosting, whether the new rules are doing more harm than good, the Hokies outlook for the rest of the season, WVU and the broader college football landscape, and a QB slide rules and injury discussion close things out before the outro.
Guest Panel:
Graham: Born in North Carolina and raised on Duke basketball in the heart of Tobacco Road, Graham became a devoted Hokie after attending Virginia Tech. His true passion right now lives in the English Premier League where he proudly supports Brighton and Hove Albion week in and week out.
Liam: Born and raised in Philadelphia, Liam is a die hard Eagles, Phillies, and WVU fan who has lived through championship highs and gut punch lows with equal passion. He fell in love with lacrosse in high school and now follows the rise of the PLL as closely as anything else on the sports calendar.
