League Talk: 2023 – Week 6 Review

“R.I.P. grandpa, you would have loved Sapphires.”

Any episode with a line as powerful as that MUST be a winner.

De’Von Achane is a two-time loser this week. In addition to hitting the IR with a knee injury, Vigs still can’t get his (or Jared Policar’s) name right.

A PSA: After his four touchdown performance Sunday, Dolphins’ rookie RB Devon Achane informed the team that, moving forward, he would like his name to be pronounced De-Von A-Chan.

Not A-Chain, as it currently is listed in the team’s media guide. A-Chan.

We can only hope this tweet will make a difference going forward.

The original duo handled business this week, with Zook (Zuke?) and Tommy Bones off the mic. Tommy still contributed from the sky, sending texts that Beans read for him.

I don’t know if we need to have Uber Eats or DoorDash start paying the show but the food delivery interruptions found their way into yet another episode. How was Chipotle?

This week also marked the return of the power rankings. Here’s how things stack up in the minds of Beans and Vigs:

1. Brent
2. Kris
3. Thomas
4. Brad
5. Beans
6. Max
7. Abie
8. Vigs
9. Ryan
10. Jack

“Write about this.” Vigs, Wednesday, the 25th is marked on my calendar. See you in Bama.

If you didn’t stay until the end of the pod, you missed some wild discussion about Taylor Swift being a HUGE League Talk fan and her inviting the show to record live on the European leg of the Eras Tour. Phenomenal content.

Week 6’s entry clocks in at just under an hour and 12 minutes. In my humble opinion, this is one of the season’s best episodes. No doubt, it’s certified fresh. 96% 🍅.
