116: Breaking down the pennant races in baseball, College Football, Jake Haener, Graham Mertz, Ben Simmons' mess, Klay Thompson, & the Bucks

Just one week remains in the 2021 Major League Baseball season, and there as a wacky five-team race in the American League Wild Card, as five teams are separated by four games for the top spots. This comes after a dramatic weekend where the Yankees swept the Red Sox at Fenway to seize the lead for the top Wild Card spot. But Boston holds the second Wild Card, with the Blue Jays one game back, with Mariners two back and the A's three back. Who does John see facing off in next week's Wild Card game? John also gets into the performances of Fresno State quarterback Jake Haener and Wisconsin quarterback Graham Mertz as well as Arkansas' statement victory over Texas A&M over the weekend. And with training camps opening across the NBA on Tuesday, John looks into three topics of discussion, ranging from Ben Simmons' absence from Sixers training camp, comments the Warriors made about Klay Thompson's return, and obstacles the Milwaukee Bucks have to deal with if they want to repeat as NBA champions.
