Way too early NWSL preview with Mike Watts

We're in the middle of the transfer window and NWSL training camps have only just started, but that's not going to stop us from previewing the upcoming 2025 NWSL season. In this episode, Dino and Grant are joined by Mike Watts, one of the longtime voices of the NWSL across multiple networks. Mike gave us some great stories from discussions he had with coaches and club executives last season and was just an overall good dude to chat with. We ended up bouncing around a little bit, so we touched on the recent Jaedyn Shaw news, how he thinks the top-4 will shake out this year, how he defines "team culture" based on what he sees from each club, who from the broadcast teams picks the coffee joints and restaurants on the road, and so much more. Listen for Mike's sharp insights into the teams and players across the NWSL, and stick around for Mike chastising Grant for making a ridiculous ask at the end of the show. (For the record, Grant stands by this request and will defend it moving forward.)
