We have a sports equinox today — that means there are games on the schedule in all four major U.S. leagues: NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. Unless a World Series game gets delayed/postponed, this will be the only sports equinox of the year. And as a bonus, there are also two MLS playoff matchups tonight.

There was a sports equinox on October 30th last year, and the first U.S. sports equinox ever recorded was on Sunday, October 17th, 1971. The highlight that day was the Pirates, led by Roberto Clemente, beating the Orioles in Game 7 of the World Series. And Dolphins Quarterback Bob Griese set an NFL record against the Patriots by completing three passes in a row that went for touchdowns.

In today’s newsletter, Chris covers the Giants vs. Steelers MNF matchup and early morning tennis in Hong Kong, Craig has the World Series and teams up with Jack for double NBA coverage, and we give you a rundown from Week 8 in the NFL.
