Tidal League

With NBA preseason officially underway we talk about the grind of fringe roster players. The mental and physical battle of fighting for a job in the NBA. Does it make more sense for a player who may spend more time in the G League to head overseas where the earning potential is higher? The leagues that exist overseas offer more than just earnings but opportunities to see a new world, add life experience and develop.

Who you would choose to spend 24 hours with dead or alive? Family or celebrity how would you break down the day with that individual?

We didn't anticipate a deep and dramatic episode but we got into the social injustice issues with the very first "National Truth and Reconciliation Day" here in Canada and what that means for our nation not just today but moving forward. We highlight the effects of the pandemic and will it come to an end? 

The NBA is continuing to expand its reach to new markets with its new G League franchise in Mexico City and Indian Ambassador. Will we ever see a second NBA franchise in Canada?

With 6 games left in the MLB season will the Blue Jays make the Wild Card? Are the Lakers going all the way and will they manage expectations during the season to preserve the health of their aging roster for the post season? Excitement of media day and training camp for this upcoming NBA season with the return of normality. Trish leaves us with a mysterious blind item at the end!

There are 10 games left for the Jays and the race for the wild card is heating up. Will Andrew Wiggins be forced to get his COVID vaccine? What happens if it comes down to is his personal beliefs or playing in the NBA? The WNBA Playoffs begin tonight, will we see Seattle repeat? LeBron or MJ?

Donda or CLB - both were good but were they masterpieces? The Toronto Blue Jays will go to the playoffs due to a huge closing push down the stretch. Tidal League shows "No Pump Fakes" and "Survival of the Fitted" in the SLAM Magazine! 

Have you listened to "Donda" and is it brilliant? "Certified Lover Boy" drops Friday September 3rd - will it live up to the anticipation that's built up over the last year? The musical brilliance in producing and making music that people feel apart of, shoutout to Jay-Z. 

Covering the new generation of athletes and how receptive they are to traditional discipline and coaching? Are we in a new era of player coaches and will this pave the way for more young coaches to follow? 

Trish is back and she's a winner! We get right into things with the return of civilization and what that looks like. The ESPN conundrum with Rachel Nichols and Max Kellerman and how do big networks manage growth? How Tidal League has grown into a network that's built on relationships.  The generational shift of people with social media and the pressure that comes with it. 

The WNBA returned from its Olympic break with the inaugural Commissioner's Cup championship game between the Seattle Storm and the Connecticut Sun. Kurt & Scott talk about the dominant performance from Seattle and how the WNBA is the purest form of basketball. We get into League expansion, limited roster spots, and why we need more from the fans!

Today, Kurt welcomes Joey Lye, Olympic Bronze Medalist with the Canada's Women's Softball Team. We hear all about her Tokyo Olympics experience, the long journey through the COVID-19 pandemic, her perspective on pursuing dreams and happiness, and much more. 

Kurt and Trish are back to talk about Thursday’s NBA Draft, who the greatest drafted Raptor of all-time is, and dive into the feedback surrounding Simone Biles’ withdrawals from Olympic events and battle with mental health. They welcome Katie Goodman, the new host of Tidal League FC, to talk about her soccer journey, the growth of the MLS and women’s soccer in America, and the buzz surrounding the MLS’ newest franchise, Austin FC.
