The Stanley Cup Playoffs might be the most physically demanding sports tournament to win, but the NCAA baseball tournament might be the hardest overall thanks to the randomness of college pitching. Ovies and Giglio open the show with a little SEC schadenfreude, while also highlighting just how wild it is for some of these teams to have exited the tournament so early. The Athletic's Brendan Marks joins the show to celebrate "Belichick June 1st Contract Day" and take a look at these finalized basketball rosters for Triangle teams. Ven-Allen Lubin might've broken the brains of some fans, but it's just the nature of the business these days. In the Lightning Round, the guys process "Inside The NBA" moving to ESPN, playing football in a dome, and Giglio's crazy new idea for social media. You'll also want to hear the best OG Sports Phone call regarding Rod Brind'Amour and the Carolina Hurricanes.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are at the UNC Health Championship at Raleigh Country Club and have a lot to get into today -- because they've spent most of the week focused on the Carolina Hurricanes. They start things off with SEC commish Greg Sankey saying the college football world is too wrapped up in the idea of "not losing" instead of more important matters, like who got to play Georgia. Ironic considering Sankey is very much concerned with winning the battle for the heart and soul of college football. The discourse goes beyond the College Football Playoff format and has everything to do with the SEC wanting to control every aspect of the sport. Staying in the world of college sports, Pablo Torre says he's going to sue UNC if the university doesn't comply with is records requests. Giglio explains why it isn't that simple. Meanwhile, in the Lightning Round, the guys hit on the Carolina Panthers and the NBA Playoffs. The podcast closes with a few OG Sports Phone calls on the Canes.
