Wrapping up another week as I have one last podcast in the Sunshine State, recapping, reviewing and previewing all that’s happening in the sports world. On deck: (2:48) As I conclude my tour of Florida, my remote takes me inside (due to construction and a Metrorail train passing by every few minutes) on another hot, sunny summer day in Miami. The acoustics weren’t great in the room that I was recording, so my apologies to those listening if there were any echoes or issues in regards to the latest edition of the podcast. (4:19) A promo for OLIPOP soda. Please see the offer above. (5:56) Sports is starting to pick up a little bit as August is on the horizon, but baseball is still front and center here in late July. I cannot believe what the New York Mets did to their crosstown rival, New York Yankees over the past couple of days. They won a close one on Tuesday and last night took the Bombers to the back of the woodshed as they completed a season series sweep in dominating fashion. Now, both teams have to gear up for even bigger series this weekend with division rivals as the Mets play four at home vs. Atlanta. While the Yankees go up to Boston to play the Red Sox for three. How will they fare as both NY teams are either being chased or chasing in the Wild Card standings? I’ll go through the struggles of the Orioles in Miami. The reeling Mariners. The oncoming Rangers in the AL West. There are some intriguing series to keep an eye on (Dodgers-Astros, Guardians-Phillies, Pirates-D’backs) as we’re approaching the final weekend of the month. (25:29) NFL Training Camps are open for business. You have quite a few key players holding out (i.e. Trent Williams, Hasan Reddick and Jordan Love) the latter, the most interesting because how much will he get with only one full season under his belt? There were two more retirement announcements (Raiders WR Michael Gallup. Eagles LB Brandon Graham at the end of the year) And the greed of the NFL crops up as there have been high level talks of increasing the season to 18 games in the future. You know how I feel about this. I’ll get into all of it as football is back in our consciousness. (35:01) The NBA has officially announced their new media deal with ESPN/ABC, NBC & Amazon Prime for the next eleven years worth $76 billion dollars. TNT feels snubbed based on what they said that they’ve countered Amazon’s offer and should still broadcast games after next season. Is this the end for TNT? Can they still negotiate considering this already a done deal. Also, the WNBA signed a new deal as well (11/$2.2 billion, could go up to 3 billion) Is it time for yours truly to start taking notice on a league that has received plenty of attention over the past couple of years? Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau signs a three year extension. And Andrew Nembhard of the Pacers cashed in on a good playoff run with a three year/$59 million dollar deal. (42:26) A high profile signing in Edmonton for the front office as former Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman will take his talents to Northern Alberta, but this comes after a two year suspension from the NHL for his involvement in the alleged sexual harassment case back in 2010. Was this a good move by the Western Conference Champions? (45:36) With the Olympics beginning tomorrow night, I’ll preview as much as I could when it comes to what’ll take place in Paris over the next two and a half weeks. One big question going into the Games, how much pressure with the USA Men’s Basketball Team face as they’re the favorites to come home with the Gold Medal?
