CTE Shockwaves, LeBron's Next Move & MLB Trade Deadline Drama

A packed edition of SportsWrap w/Jason Page begins with a powerful and emotional edition of The Big Story. Jason reacts to the posthumous CTE diagnosis of former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Marshawn Kneeland at just 24 years old and questions why the story isn't receiving more attention across mainstream sports media. Jason examines the broader conversation surrounding football safety, concussion protocols, media partnerships with the NFL, and whether sports media is doing enough to confront uncomfortable realities about the game. Later, David Aardsma joins SportsWrap Inside Baseball to discuss the crowded American League playoff race, the Athletics' surprising position in the Wild Card hunt, and what teams could do as the MLB Trade Deadline approaches. Then, Kurt Helin of NBC Sports stops by for SportsWrap NBA Weekly to break down the latest LeBron James speculation. Is Cleveland the frontrunner? Could Philadelphia offer a better championship opportunity? Kurt and Jason discuss LeBron's future, Summer League storylines, Jalen Brunson's wrist surgery, and why the NBA's biggest story may still be unfolding.
