Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we'll talk with Michael Wilbon about the baseball playoffs, the big games from college and pro football, and also about the bizarre Mark Sanchez story. And we'll dive back into baseball with Buster Olney. And yeah, we'll also probably ask Buster for some gardening tips. But first, commerce. Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show. Why would you go to a structure built by man when you. You'd go outside into the natural environment that you ascribe to having been created by God? If you are a believer, that's pretty much what you would believe. You'd rather be outside. And if somebody says, well, he can find you better inside. No, no, no, no, no. He can see everywhere. You know, he knows what you sleep and he knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or good. So be good for goodness sake, right?

The Tony Korneiser show is on now.

The rationalizations, I freely admit them. So if you like sports at all, this weekend was great. You had baseball playoffs, you had college football, you had pro football, you had things going on in front of you in the red zone, which were almost unbelievable. You have some guy from Arizona is about to score on an 80 yard run and just lets the ball go, just lets the ball go before he gets into the end zone. So he doesn't get that score and his team ends up losing to a team, Tennessee, that had never won all season.
Michael Wilbon (1:32)
Yeah.
Tony Kornheiser (1:33)
Had not won all season. And Tennessee recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown that was kicked around and kicked around and kicked around. And I'm one of those people that thought you couldn't do that anymore. That years back that because the Oakland Raiders, the Holy Roller, used to do that deliberately, that there was a rule made that you cannot deliberately.
Michael Wilbon (1:54)
Yeah.

Ken Stabler just roll the ball out so that their guy could fall on it. At some point, like when I was.
Dave (2:00)
Watching first grade base, the pitcher's help would roll the ball to first to secure the out.
Tony Kornheiser (2:04)
So, I mean, I didn't, you know, they allowed it to be a touchdown. I'm sure that it was completely legal. But I was sitting there saying, hmm, I didn't think you could do that anymore. And then Tennessee comes back and they beat Arizona. Arizona is a. Is not much of a team. And Kyler Murray is exciting to watch, but he gets no results. He gets no results. Tampa Bay won again at the last second of the game. They won on a field goal on the last second. BAKER Mayfield went 29 of 33 for 329 yards. They have won four games. They're four and one. Their point differential in those four games is nine points. That's all it is, is nine points. I just. That's amazing. Indianapolis, I believe that if you voted for MVP right now, the three leading candidates would be Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones of Indianapolis and Dak Prescott. Because Dallas, terrible on defense. You have to score 40 to win. And he does. It does and he does. So like the question for years and years, is Dak worth the money? Yeah, he's worth the money. Defense isn't. Dak is worth the money. I got so many things wrong. I never ever thought that Washington would beat the Chargers in California. I just didn't.
