Rich and the guys begin the hour reacting to the Cowboys being tabbed for this season’s ‘Hard Knocks’ on HBO with mixed feelings in the room about how compelling a watch Dallas will be for the acclaimed HBO series. 

With training camps approaching, Rich and Brockman give their very early picks for sleeper teams to watch in the NFC and AFC.

NFL Network analyst Gregg Rosenthal and Rich discuss Aaron Rodgers’ holdout and why a new guaranteed contract can put an end to the stalemate, why Justin Herbert and the Chargers are the most overlooked story in the NFL right now, when we can expect to see the talented crop of rookie QBs on the field this year and why he’s not as high on the Rams as a lot of other pundits, and the Browns’ and Jets’ outlook for the coming season.

Rich wraps up the hour renewing his vigorous vitriol for The Shift in Major League Baseball and how it snuffed out what should have been another memorable moment for Shohei Ohtani.
