As July comes to a conclusion, I'll take a look back AND look ahead to what the sports galaxy has to offer as the latest podcast has arrived. On deck: (3:44) The MLB trade deadline is tomorrow at 6pm. Some teams have been wheeling and dealing to fortify their rosters for a playoff stretch run (i.e. Angels), but the biggest deal to date was the Mets sending Max Scherzer to Texas for a minor league prospect. I GO IN on why this needed to happen? How Scherzer snaked his way out of town? And will the Mets make more deals before the deadline comes and goes? You won't want to miss what I have to say about this, as well as, the current state of the AL/NL wild card races. Can the Padres kick start their season after a sweep vs. the Rangers? The Brewers free fall. A HUGE week for the Yankees and much more as the dog days of August are on the horizon. (32:22) Some controversy is brewing in Indianapolis as star running back, Jonathan Taylor and the front office are playing a psychological tug of war. The front office states that Taylor suffered a non football injury as he failed a physical prior to the start of training camp, whereas Taylor, says that's not the case. Could this get ugly quick as Taylor is in the final year of his rookie contract? Let the soap opera begin with the Jets as Aaron Rodgers has come to the defense of his current offensive coordinator and former Broncos head coach, Nathaniel Hackett. This comes in light of comments made by the current Denver coach, Sean Payton towards Hackett where QB Russell Wilson was mishandled throughout last year. Is this anything to keep on our radar as both teams will matchup in Week 5? Bengals fans have their fingers crossed as Joe Burrow went down with a calf injury in a non contact play during a drill on Thursday. Any long term concerns for the franchise QB? The Vikings avoided a breakup with star pass rusher Danielle Hunter as they agree on a one year deal. (42:04) Terence Crawford showed Errol Spence Jr. a thing or two about being a welterweight champion as he dominated with a 9th round TKO on Saturday night. What's next for Crawford? And how will Spence recuperate from such a rough loss? (44:31) Justin Gaethje had to wait five years to avenge his loss to Dustin Poirier winning by KO in the second round with a head kick. Could a third installment be in the works between the two fighters? (46:16) Not much happening in the NHL or NBA. Although I do discuss Vladimir Tarasenko finds a home in Ottawa. While nothing much is happening on the Damian Lillard trade front as a memo went out to the 30 teams regarding the Blazers star guard.
