HR 1- World Cup Fever, Tom Lugenbill Joins, Lebron Watch

What this episode covers

Hour 1 is packed despite the summer sports calendar, as Joe Rose and the crew preview the World Cup's third-place match between England and France while debating whether either side will go all-out with the championship no longer on the line. The guys also discuss Lionel Messi's incredible World Cup run at age 39 and how his success continues to elevate both Inter Miami and soccer's popularity in South Florida. The conversation shifts to the NBA, where the Heat officially introduced Giannis Antetokounmpo and Pat Riley fueled even more LeBron James speculation by hinting at Miami's pursuit. Joe explains why he still believes LeBron can play at an elite level, questions why some Heat fans don't want him back, and discusses Klay Thompson as another potential fit for Miami. Later, ESPN college football analyst Tom Luginbill joins the show to explain why the Hurricanes are the team to beat in the ACC, discuss the future of the College Football Playoff, conference realignment, and how Mario Cristobal has built Miami into a national contender through recruiting
