239: Nuggets to the NBA Finals, MLB Hot Hitters, NFL Thursday Night insanity, Stanley Cup playoffs

In today's podcast: The Denver Nuggets path from futility to the NBA Finals should be inspiring, says John following the Nuggets' stunning four-game sweep for the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, while the same cannot be said about the Boston Celtics, who have not inspired during the Eastern Conference Finals against Erik Spolestra's team of mainly undrafted free agents in the Miami Heat. Then, John sprinkles praise for Aaron Judge, Nolan Gorman, and Christopher Morel, who are three of the hottest hitters in baseball right now, while the San Diego Padres need other sources to step up in their lineup. Then, John talks about the NFL's controversial decision to flex Thursday Night Football from Weeks 13-17, and the media attention driven towards the New York Jets with Aaron Rodgers at OTA's, and the Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers each a win away from the Stanley Cup Final.
