Doing my best to provide some light in a dark sports world that doesn’t seem as if it’s getting better, will be my goal in Episode 139! On deck:

(2:57) After police brutality was all the rage throughout the month, guess who made its return back into the news cycle? That’s right. COVID-19! I’ll dive in as to what the latest outbreaks throughout the country means as far as sports restarting (NBA, NHL) or trying to start (MLB) and the effects of it in the not too distant future (NFL). It’s a grim reality of an assessment that you won’t want to miss.

(22:29) An up to the minute analysis of the psychological tug of war between the players and owners of the MLB. We’re waiting word on the players vote on whether they’ll accept the latest (and final) proposal by the owners. Will they agree? Should they play? It’s getting late early as Yogi Berra used to say. You’ll definitely want to process and digest what I have to say about that.

(31:22) Brett Favre was asked about Colin Kaepernick and how does he’s compared to the late football player, Pat Tillman AND if there’s a correlation between Kaepernick, Jackie Robinson and Muhammed Ali? You KNOW I went IN on this subject. Is Kaep a hero? Is he worth being mentioned in the same breath as the aforementioned icons of sports past? Another fiery take as I go full open field tackle on this subject. I’ll also touch on Jamal Adams of the New York Jets and his trade request out of Gotham. What should the Jets brass do? Listen in to find out for yourself.

(44:12) The Belmont Stakes kicked off the Triple Crown of Horse Racing for the year. When it’s all said and done, if Tiz The Law is victorious in the last two races as he was in the first, will it be legit?

(47:26) I’ll have a quick tennis update on the US Open still set for late August. Serena Williams will be there. What about Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal? What if they do not participate? I’ll share that…

(49:45) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
