Tommy John’s Hall of Fame Case + NFL Preseason, Aaron Donald & the WNBA MVP Race

SportsWrap opens with a tribute to Tommy John, who passed away at 83, as Jason Page makes the case that the 288-game winner and baseball icon belongs in Cooperstown. Jason also reacts to the latest developments in the NBA’s investigation of Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and the circumstances surrounding Kawhi Leonard’s compensation. Then Sam Yarnell joins the show to break down NFL preseason Week 1, including Fernando Mendoza, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Allar, Aaron Donald’s apparent path back to the Rams, Von Miller joining Dallas and why the Cowboys defense may be better than expected. Bill Bender of The Sporting News stops by to discuss the latest college football storylines, key injuries and Texas-Ohio State before examining what we should—and shouldn’t—take away from young players getting their first NFL preseason action. Finally, Jason and Sam dive into the WNBA MVP race, where A’ja Wilson remains the favorite as Caitlin Clark tries to remain in the conversation. They also examine Angel Reese’s unusual combination of elite rebounding production and continued struggles with shooting efficiency. Plus: Scottie Scheffler dominates the FedEx St. Jude, Joey Logano wins at Richmond, Diana Taurasi is honored by the Phoenix Mercury, and Jason has some fun with Pat McAfee’s venture into music.
