Today we’re joined by the most rational Philly sports fan in the world, Jimmy Hawley, to discuss some of our favorite nicknames in the history of sports. After that, we recap some of the biggest sports news of the week, including NFL Week 2 action, the Las Vegas Aces winning the WNBA Finals, and Serena Williams and Roger Federer retiring from tennis. Can you tell it was a slow week for the NBA?

We wrap up talking about the NFL and MLB, touching on Marco’s Chargers and Mariners, and Gaurav’s Rams and Dodgers. Want to ask us a question about anything, whether or not it’s basketball related?
