Lando Norris crashes out in Canada after a costly move on teammate Oscar Piastri, as we deep dive into the fallout and what it means for the F1 title race.

In the AFL, Brisbane stun Geelong in their own backyard for the first time since 2003, with Logan Morris announcing himself as a star.

The Florida Panthers seal Stanley Cup glory, the Indiana Pacers level the NBA Finals, and the Crusaders continue their Super Rugby dominance.

We also cover State of Origin’s game-two drama, rule changes in the Club World Cup, and one of the strangest cricket crowd moments ever.

Plus, Australia reshuffle for the West Indies tests, England prepare to face India, and Dundee United sign a striker who doesn’t use capital letters.

All that, and your weekly sickos pick.

This week on The Sporting Blether, we’re joined by Bob — Falkirk fan, tennis tragic, golf major loyalist… and father to Graham, which makes him unofficial chairman of the Strachan sporting department.

We chat Murray’s legacy, Scotland’s rise, the appeal of the majors, and the time a broken arm turned one of his nephews into a makeshift gear stick.

Recorded live from sunny Spain — because apparently even holidays aren’t safe from a blether.

Australia’s top order keeps struggling as the selectors stick with familiar names, while the middle order and tail keep digging them out of trouble. The Red Sox sweep the Yankees with some late drama, while Florida take control of the Stanley Cup finals as the Oilers stumble. We dive into Super Rugby’s format headache, a classic Roland Garros final, carnage at the US Open golf, Finn Russell flying the flag in the Premiership, plus Falkirk Corner, Sickos Pick and a flying tooth that’s just ridiculous.

This week we ask: how much sport is too much?

From the French Open to the Stanley Cup, international football to future Rangers managers, we’ve accidentally watched most of it. We talk Spain v France, tennis tantrums, ice hockey chaos, concussion lawsuits, and why the sporting calendar refuses to take a break.

Graham’s got thoughts, I’ve got opinions, and together we try to make sense of it all from opposite sides of the world.

In episode one we discuss the weekends (May 30-June 1) sport, from Champions League to Giro d’Italia.

We discussed all things Falkirk in Falkirk Corner and our upcoming picks of what to watch.

We finally had our ‘Sicko’s Pick’, the game we’ll be watching but we’re not quite proud off!

Enjoy, and send in your Sicko’s Picks for next week.
