7220sports.com Kickoff Show: Must Win? You Bet

LARAMIE -- There was plenty to chat about on this week's 7220sports.com Kickoff Show.

For instance, my Phillies are rolling into the postseason as NL East champions for the first time in 13 seasons. My Buffalo Sabres are now 5-0 in the preseason. I can already practically smell the playoffs. The Broncos finally showed signs of life last week, too.

Other than that, it was a slow week around these parts ...

Check out the latest episode right HERE. We also touched on a few small issues like conference realignment, lawsuits, players quitting on their team in the name of NIL promises, the cash disbursement that will keep the league together and what programs the Mountain West should add before the 2026 deadline.
