It’s a jam-packed and bittersweet edition of the Herald’s Leading Off podcast this week.

First off, Jason Bartolone and Jason Dill make their playoff predictions and size up the World Series contenders as the Major League Baseball regular season winds down. They also offer their take on the Tampa Bay Rays’ giveaway of 20,000 tickets at Tropicana Field and Evan Longoria’s decision to call out the fans who haven’t shown up this season.

The guys also break down two big games on the college football slate this Saturday (Florida-Alabama and Stanford-Oregon), pay tribute to an old-school NFL star and preview this weekend’s Ryder Cup action. And finally, on a sad note, one of the Jasons says goodbye to the podcasting game. Which one? You’ll have to click on the accompanying audio link to find out.
