Mike and Abe close out the show with final thoughts on the Jayson Tatum season ending injury and if the Celtics' window to win the title this season is officially closed. They also give final thoughts on why the Mavericks winning the No. 1 overall pick following trading away Luka Doncic just a few months ago fuels conspiracy theory talks and how the NBA has to find a way to dispel that thought process.

Mike and Abe get into some Braves talk and more thoughts on their win over the Nationals and believe that despite the win, the team is still not performing well as the plate as Mike says, "they just don't hit" and questions if hitting coach, Tim Hyers is the right guy to help Braves' players correct their issues at the plate.

Mike and Abe are briefly joined by Carl Dukes and briefly discuss the Saints having to move on without Derek Carr, Jayson Tatum's season ending injury and Matthew Judon saying it was not his fault for his drop in sacks. Then Mike and Abe share their thoughts on Jalon Walker drawing comparisons to Micah Parsons which they agree is not too much of an expectation for the Falcons rookie and how important it will be for Michael Penix Jr. to play throughout the preseason.

Mike and Abe come back with thoughts on the MLB announcing they are removing Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson and others from the banned list. As they discuss, Abe notes he believes voters would still keep from voting Rose into the HOF and Mike adding Rose did not make it easy with some of the things he found himself involved in throughout his career.

Mike and Abe get into some college football talk and react to Jackson Cantwell announcing his commitment to play for Miami and share their thoughts on the No. 1 2026 OT recruit's decision and debate whether he actually made the choice based on his opportunity to come in and start year one.

Mike and Abe come back with some Hawks talk and share thoughts on who they should target in the upcoming NBA Draft with their 13th and 22nd picks and what free agents they believe would be good fits for the Hawks as well. Their discussion then carries into how long it will be before the Hawks hire someone for their president of basketball operations position.
