On this show, we go through another NFL Training Camp as the final week of the preseason approaches as Dave Denatale from WKYC-TV3 in Cleveland talks the Browns. And Eno Sarris from the Athletic talks about the MLB and who's making the playoffs, but also if the Orioles are actually trying to tank.

We've reached the halfway point of the work week and Josh continues your sports discussion on this hump day Wednesday.

Many QB1 positions announced around the NFL today, which ones made does Josh feel are the right ones? And which ones have him scratching his head? We get closer to Hawai`i and UCLA's week zero game in Pasadena this Saturday.

To that end, joining Josh today:

The animals are on this Tuesday after the big announcement that the Big 10, ACC, and Pac-12 are forming an alliance. But what does that even mean? Lisa Horne from PigskinGrind.com tries to help us with the explanation, but is there still a good one? Then, Nate Kreckman, host of "This Week in the Mountain West", joins the show to talk about the conference and how much faith does he have in Hawaii in Week 0 vs. UCLA? And Jeff Resdon from Lions Wire talks about Detroit and if Hawaii's Jahlani Tavai is staying on the team before the final cut of players.

Continuing on in the work week, Josh continues your sports discussion on this Tuesday.
