Lakers Sold Again!, Mark in Murky Wa(l)ters, & Who's Dead or Alive in the MLB

Rome and the guys kick-off an extra loaded pod with the breaking news of the Los Angeles Lakers being sold for a record-breaking amount of $12.5 billion and for the second time in the past twelve months after decades of steady ownership under the Buss family. They break down what lead to the sudden deal, who are the new owners, what is up with Mark Walter, and what does this mean for the Dodgers and the rest of the sports world (37:10). They quickly transition into the WNBA and the leagues inability to focus on promoting their rising stars and product, instead becoming a wasteland for rage-baiting themes (51:39).  Then its onto the MLB where they do a quick check-in overall on some of the bigger names struggling a bit down the stretch (01:07:49), the initial hit list of who's dead or alive in the playoff race with six-weeks to go, bad Dodger contracts (01:38:27), and lastly, NFL training camp updates (01:47:47). Host: Rome Valdez Co-Hosts: Aaron Toller, Jaeson Zinke
