"To shave-a da face. To pull-a da toot'."

Dan was ecstatic to see the return of Ali G at Wimbledon, and it made him recall the character. Tony continues his pursuit of making the Heat through a tryout at the Jr. Heat camp. And while Zas and Dan want to talk about Kenny Atkinson, Jeremy hijacks the show to make it all about him, Jorge Sedano, a dap, and his interview with a dog.

"What's up, playa?"

We would sing 'Hey Jude,' but The Beatles are litigious, so we're doing Wonderwall instead. We've got Mike's World Cup updates, Dan's frustration with UFC selling a broken Conor McGregor, and Tony heading to the Kaseya Center for a workout with the Miami Heat Camp.

"Word to my mother."

The crew is divided over the news of Bam Adebayo allegedly punching Tyler Herro at the Las Vegas Summer League after leaked DMs, overflowing emotions, and the end of an era in Miami Heat history. Is this fair? Is it good for Heat Culture? Is it embarrassing? And why did Draymond Green drag Udonis Haslem into it?

Today's cast: Dan, Zaslow, Roy, Chris, Jeremy, and Mike.

This week, we’re covering all the bases—and the pitches, and the gridiron. We kick things off with a deep dive into the NFC East, breaking down what to expect from the Eagles, how Jalen Hurts is looking, the latest on Jim Harbaugh, and the current state of the Dallas Cowboys.

Then, we trade our cleats for pitch-side seats to talk World Cup fever and the unwritten rules of global fan etiquette. Are you doing it right, or are you the problem? Finally, we take a trip to the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field to tackle the most hard-hitting topics in baseball: the infamous pee troughs and the real reason they strictly ban the wave in the outfield bleachers.

Grab a beer, mind your manners, and tune in!

"There were no graphics on TV!"

Jeremy does his best to get some Miami Marlins talk in, but it might be slightly more important to get to the World Cup. Plus, Pablo has seemingly been vindicated on the Kawhi Leonard-Aspiration story, and Mike and Dave wonder how the history of sports would be different if we'd had today's technology.
