## Resource

Welcome back to another episode of Yelling From The Couch! This week Gage and Gordon hold it down while Brent makes a mid-episode cameo from the road scouting for the Reds (or maybe the Bats?).We kick things off with MLB talk: The Cincinnati Reds finally snap their 8-game losing streak by taking 2 of 3 from the Houston Astros. Is small ball and manufacturing runs the key to turning their season around? Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Pirates drop 2 of 3 to the Giants as their bullpen (Justin Lawrence & Johan Ramirez) continues to be an absolute nightmare. We also roast Ke'Bryan Hayes' brutal .139 batting average and react to the Cleveland Guardians trading for Patrick Bailey.In NFL news, the Jets finally extend Breece Hall (3 years, $45.75M). We discuss the Jets draft reaches, whether they should’ve taken Sonny Styles, and the 2026 NFL Schedule leaks including international games in Australia, Brazil (Rio), London, Paris, and more.UFL action was wild this weekend! The DC Defenders got smacked by the Louisville Kings 30-13, the Stallions edged the Renegades, and the Storm squeaked by the Gamblers 24-23. We recap all the games and drop our official Week 9 picks including a big revenge spot for the Defenders vs the Kings.Plus, we dive into WWE: John Cena announces the new “John Cena Classic” championship concept (NXT vs Main Roster + fan voting decides the winner!), Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu chaos on Raw, Roxanne Perez’s impressive performance, and more.Who you got this week in the UFL?
