In this episode, I graded each team's offseason based on their signings, draft picks, trades, and losses. I also went over the latest trade rumors surrounding Kevin Durant and the top five free agents at each position.

Today, I interviewed Leo Tesler, a New Yorker and fellow aspiring sports journalist who will be attending Northwestern University. We talked about what motivated him to get into sports reporting and the steps he's taken so far.

In this episode, I reviewed some of the best performances from the NBA Summer League, as well as Damian Lillard's earth-shattering extension for "not running from the grind." I also discussed the latest offseason news and rumors, including the Play-in's permanence and...Richard Jefferson the ref.

I interviewed two of my great friends who are ready to make their marks in the sports industry. Peyton Lodge is an incoming basketball and baseball player at Emerson College, majoring in journalism, and Rex Kaplan is a former high school baseball player and incoming Sports Business Major at the University of Oregon.

We also discussed 4TF Sports, an agency that Rex founded and Peyton is a client of, as well as the NBA offseason and the latest MLB news (featuring Peyton ranting about the Angels).
