There's quite a bit to get into as I close out the week with my third podcast detailing all that's transpired in the world of sports. On deck: (3:15) The MLB trade deadline is days away. Who would've thought that the Angels are the first team to get the ball rolling as they acquire pitcher Lucas Giolito from the White Sox. Not only are they looking to contend as they're four games back of the AL Wild Card, but is this a message sent to Shohei Ohtani that they mean business? I'll go through some of the other key players that have been rumored to be dealt by the August 1st deadline. And also, bring you up to speed on the Wild Card races in both leagues and see where we stand heading into the final weekend of July. (22:11) NFL training camps are open throughout the nation. Aaron Rodgers takes a significant pay cut in New York, which'll free up cap space to bring in more players as they look to make a Super Bowl run. Giants RB Saquon Barkley signs a one year deal to stay in NY. Why I think this is his last year on the G-Men? I'll cover a few other big signings (i.e. Andrew Thomas, Trevon Diggs and Justin Herbert) as we're six weeks away from the start of the regular season. (27:46) Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is facing a four game suspension for recruiting violations back in 2020. Was this a slap on the wrist? Why wasn't Harbaugh up front? Should the suspension been harsher? (32:18) Jaylen Brown has signed the richest contract in NBA history as he re-ups with the Celtics for $304 million dollars. Is he worth it? Is it more of the system than the player? Then you had the unfortunate story regarding Bronny James as he recovers from cardiac arrest that he suffered during a practice at USC. (39:24) Longtime Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron goes off into the sunset and retires after 19 seasons with the organization. Does he belong on the teams Mount Rushmore? Sebastian Aho signs an eight year deal to stay in Carolina. And a sad note as Blackhawks CEO Rocky Wirtz dies at the age of 70. (43:37) You have a good marquee fight on Saturday night in boxing as Errol Spence Jr. will square off against Terence Crawford. Is this match a few years too late? As for the UFC, you have another Dustin Poirier-Justin Gaethje bout as they'll go at it for a second time.
