In Episode 8 of In My Defense, Chris Canty and Que McDuffie unpack a loaded week across sports — from the Colts’ surprising hot streak and NFL trade deadline moves, to the NBA gambling scandal that’s shaking the league.
They debate whether Indy can ride Jonathan Taylor to the playoffs, if AJ Brown could really be moved, and whether Carlie Irsay-Gordon is the NFL’s most innovative owner or an overinvolved micromanager.
Plus, bold trade takes, leadership lessons, and a wild Week 9 Matchup breakdown of what’s next for the Chiefs, Bills, Jets, Ravens, and Cowboys.
Bold takes, Thoughtful analysis, and Real talk. Nothing’s personal… but In My Defense.
