On the Sports Headlines Podcast with London:

1 Kyrie Irving was pleased with leaving Cleveland and going to the Boston Celtics during Friday’s presser at TD Waterhouse Garden Irving said that the move will help him grow and that the team concept in Cleveland was playing around one player and he wanted a change. Also LeBron James might be joining the Los Angeles Lakers and Irving didn’t want to be stuck in Cleveland.

2 At the last minute of the August trade deadline on the last day of that month the Detroit Tigers barely got Justin Verlander sent away and to a pennant contender at that as Verlander joins the Houston Astros. Verlander’s first choice was playing for the Chicago Cubs but going to Houston who has all the moving parts was alright too.

3 Despite a five game losing streak the Los Angeles Dodgers will soon get back on track again. After having such a great run all year the Dodgers were due for a slump but it won’t be long when they’ll snap out of it.

4 The Oakland Raiders finished pre season with a 0-4 record and the visiting Seattle Seahawks 4-0 and are expected to finish on the top of the league and odds makers like their chances of getting to the Super Bowl.

5 The San Francisco Giants in dropping another tough game on Thursday night it was weird happenstance for Brandon Crawford who hit a home run only to have it called back because of fan interference and Giants reliever Mark Melancon walked a runner in with the bases loaded how much worse can it get.
