Brett and Danny are back to discuss all of the MLB trade deadline happenings! We discuss whether or not the Dodgers are ruining baseball after trading for Tarik Skubal, the Yankees' love of power-hitting first basemen, and which teams should have made more moves with the postseason right around the corner! We also talk about some notable individual performances this season, from a historic Triple Crown contender to Cal Raleigh’s dropoff! As always, we touch on some off-the-field tangents such as how long to wait for a headliner to perform and the value of a Hawaiian shirt! Tap in for all that and more!

The WNBA trade deadline has come and gone with just one major move. Let’s talk about why Kelsey Plum to the Mercury is a long-term play for both Phoenix and the Sparks! Let’s also get into what makes the Lynx so dangerous, whether or not people are tired of talking about the Aces, and the surprising Valkyries!

Then, we head over to the NBA to talk about the biggest offseason moves. Obviously, LeBron to the 76ers is the headliner. How much did the Celtics’ moves help make that happen? As far as LeBron’s old team is concerned, how well are the Lakers positioned for life after the King? And can Pat Riley bake? Tap in!

What a World Cup experience that was! Brett joins me to talk about it all. Spain took down Argentina 1-0 in the final to win it all. We kick things off by talking about how it all went down! Then, we zoom out to talk about the tournament as a whole, starting with the expanded field. How did it contribute to the tournament vibes, and what were the best parts of it? 

Some new stars emerged, and some known stars reminded us why they are stars in the first place! We give props to the best in the world, and talk about how impressive it was for them to perform under the sport’s brightest lights. We also break down some of the team archetypes we saw throughout the tournament and make some cross-sport comparisons. 

We move on to talking about the USMNT performance. Christian Pulisic’s performance was pretty indicative of the team as a whole. So where do we go from here? Also, how much did Trump’s involvement in the Balogun red card debacle affect the team’s play against Belgium? 

It wasn’t all bad in the US of A. As one of the host countries, we have the perfect infrastructure for such a massive event. What were the highlights? And could we host again much sooner than expected? Also, a little info on our soccer coverage moving forward! Always fun with Brett, so tap in!
