Christine Brennan released an unauthorized biography of Caitlin Clark. Brennan makes no secret she's a massive fan of the WNBA superstar but is her fandom helping the situation? We're halfway into 2025, and at the risk of becoming hypocrites, Awful Announcing's Ben Axelrod and Brendon Kleen take a look at the most overblown sports media stories from the first half of the year. That, plus reviews on "F1" and "Quarterback" are on tap for this week's episode of The Play-By-Play.
