The Midday Show

Andy and Randy gave an update on MLS returning and why it's important for leagues to maintain good relationships with its players.

Andy and Randy continued to pull cards from a 2003 NFL Topps set as Randy told stories about certain players. Did we finally find the Randy McMichael card?

Andy and Randy's No Huddle was hijacked by the awesome BREAKING NEWS THAT THE MLS IS RETURNING! Mike Conti joined the show to explain the details of the breaking news and what the coming weeks will/could look like for the MLS. Also, former Bulldogs' quarterback DJ Shockley joined the guys to discuss Georgia's QB room among other topics.

Andy and Randy kicked off the show talking about the optimism in the air for MLS and NBA but not so much for the MLB. They also discussed Kaleb McGary's tweets over the last few days.

Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael were joined by The Voice of Atlanta United, Mike Conti, who explained the details of Major League Soccer’s plan to resume the 2020 season.

Conti detailed potential dates that will be confirmed in the coming days, where the players will play and train and when we should see actual games.

Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael were joined by 92.9 The Game Reporter Joe Patrick who talked about the economic impact not gate revenue will have on Major League Soccer, specifically Atlanta United.

“It’s going to be really tough for a lot of these teams because they do not make the TV money that these other leagues make…I think if you were to divvy it up even across the board, which is how I assume they would do it, the national TV deals. It would come to like four million dollars apiece for all these teams. We talk in baseball a lot about how these teams are reliant on gate revenue and in MLS that’s what so much of it is. So much of it is down to the revenue you are getting from the grass roots. So gate revenue, concessions, and all that kind of a thing,” Patrick responded when McMichael asked about the financial impact the last few months will have on the league.

Patrick continued, “When you think about a team like Atlanta United there probably affected more than anyone else. This team has been hitting attendance record after attendance record and business has been booming because of that. But when all of a sudden you strip that away and force to play these games without fans in the stands you are losing a lot of money.”

Andy and Randy are joined by 92.9 The Game reporter Joe Patrick discussed why a potential lockout, or no MLS season, would be a bad look for both the players and the league.

Andy and Randy pull another 10 Topps Cards from the 2003 pack... did they find a Randy McMichael or Hugh Douglas card? *Hint, at least one was found

Andy and Randy are joined by Atlanta United radio analyst Jason Longshore who broke news that the players and MLS were meeting. Will we see a lockout?

Andy and Randy discuss how they aren't confident Major League Baseball and the MLBPA are even close to restarting their season. Are the NBA and NFL are best bets for sports this year?
