On this Monday edition of Unpaved, Sean Salisbury, Adam G. Sager, and Coach JB open with World Cup Final and Open Championship recaps, including a memorably profane anti-soccer rant from JB. The crew then dives into the day's biggest story: Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel stepping down at the end of 2026 following an internal investigation, and what the timing and terms of his exit really signal. From there, they cover Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz's comments on why the Big Ten has dominated the College Football Playoff, an NFL gambling scandal involving a Cardinals scouting executive accused of leaking draft information, and close with the ongoing Rory McIlroy vs. Bryson DeChambeau tension following DeChambeau's two-stroke penalty at the Open.

On this episode of Unpaved, Sean Salisbury and Adam G. Sager dig into the ongoing Caitlin Clark officiating debate, breaking down a controversial no-call against the Golden State Valkyries and the larger pattern of physical play, jealousy, and poor marketing surrounding her in the WNBA. From there, the guys shift to NFL and college football topics, including the Saints' new deal with Alvin Kamara, Tyler Shough's outlook heading into year two, and whether Florida State's Mike Norvell is coaching for his job in 2026. They close out with some lighter takes on the World Cup semifinal, the ESPYs, Mike Tyson's now-viral Shohei Ohtani moment, and the Savannah Bananas phenomenon.
