Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 62 - NBA Finals Analysis & Predictions - Gentlemen's Sweep?

This week we examine the NBA FInals matchup between the Celtics and Warriors, featuring a pair of Pastors on opposite sides.

One of them is predicting a "gentlemen's sweep," which certainly raises some eyebrows among our starting lineup.

We also talk about the "slap heard round the world," and it isn't the one from the Oscars.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 60 - Phil Mickelson - Greed, Guile, or Good Guy?

This week we take an up close look at the controversy swirling around legendary PGA Tour star Phil Mickelson. His recent dalliances with the Saudis have tarnished a wonderful image and called into question whether he would ever return to the game.

We're joined by best-selling author Alan Shipnuck to discuss his new book about Phil...and by Real Golf Radio host Bob Casper for insight into the raging debate.

Plus, we introduce a new feature - "Say What?"
