Hour 3 - Team USA Starts Play, World Cup Costs & Tortorella’s Game 7 Guarantee
The final hour begins with Team USA preparing to face Paraguay in the World Cup, as Chris Russell explains why he doesn’t automatically give blind support to national teams and discusses the realities of fandom on the international stage. Chris also breaks down the staggering costs fans could face if they wanted to follow Team USA through every round of the tournament all the way to a World Cup Final appearance. The conversation then shifts to the Stanley Cup Final, where Las Vegas Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella made headlines after calling out a reporter and boldly declaring that “there will be a Game 7” despite his team trailing the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in the series. Chris reacts to Tortorella’s confidence and discusses whether Vegas can force a winner-take-all showdown. The hour wraps up with more listener interaction as callers weigh in on the state of the Commanders’ wide receiver room, discussing the development of Washington’s current pass catchers, expectations for the group entering the season, and whether the team still needs to make another significant move before training camp.
