On the Sports Headlines Podcast with London:

1 It’s been a long wait since 1962 when the Houston Colt 45s franchise was born and a long wait to see the Astros take the motorcade parade route in downtown Houston for the first time ever for a World Series celebration

2 The series was a battle for the Astros lots or home runs and a series that went the distance

3 When Papa ohn said the lack of TV ratings impacted pizza sales he said it was a result of poor leadership in the NFL from Commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL owners who should have got a control of the national anthem protest a year and a half ago. The critics differ particularly the Wall Street Journal who said it was the over saturation of football games on Sunday, Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football there is no more hunger for the game anymore.

4. While Papa John’s blames the players for protesting taking a knee during the national anthem studies have shown some of the younger demographic are not sitting still and sitting through an entire three hour football game

5 Meanwhile the Oakland Raiders head to Miami this Sunday in light of last Sunday’s loss to Buffalo and have chin up with  the return of Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch after his one game suspension for contact with an official from Thursday Night Football two weeks ago in Oakland
