Guest host Ben Lyons, Chris Brockman and TJ Jefferson tip off the hour reacting to Russell Westbrook’s first press conference as a Laker and his remarkable journey from high school afterthought to NBA superstar/prodigal son. 

NFL Network Cowboys’ reporter Jane Slater and Ben discuss the first episode of HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks,’ Dak Prescott’s ankle and shoulder injuries and if the team’s brass should be concerned for his availability to start the season, if Dallas can ride all the talent on their roster all the way to the Super Bowl, the $10,000 suitcase Ezekiel Elliott bought Dak Prescott for his birthday, and why she would 100% kick some serious butt on ‘Survivor.’

Brockman wraps up the hour lamenting over the Red Sox slide (losing 9 of 11) and trying to talk himself into believing Dennis Schroeder can be a difference-maker for the Celtics next season.
