Zooming into the middle of July with another fast paced, action packed sports talk podcast for your edification. On deck:

(4:27) As we approach the final weekend before the All-Star Break, the Mets made some small waves by winning a big series in Atlanta and taking an extra game in the standings to Chicago. I'll breakdown their resourcefulness to this point, the year Edwin Diaz is having, Seth Lugo trending south and if the front office will work the phones starting next week to bring in reinforcements for the stretch run. The Blue Jays have languished as they fired their manager, Charlie Montoyo. Will that jumpstart them to meet their expectations prior to the start of the season? Break up both the Mariners and Orioles as they're both in the midst of ten game winning streaks. Do they have what it takes to keep themselves in the thick of things for the AL Wild Card? I'll preview what the schedule looks like over the next three days as the Home Run Derby and Midsummer Classic is on deck right after that.

(24:06) The NHL offseason has started with a flurry as free agency has arrived. Not only will I cover who's on the move, who stood pat but dissect why I wouldn't have reunited the long standing trio of Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins for another run at a Stanley Cup?

(34:34) The final golf major of the year has teed off at The Open in St. Andrews. I'll get into what the conditions may be like on the other side of the pond. Who may come out on top? And delve into Tiger Woods's comments on players leaving for the LIV Golf League and what he still means to the Tour overall?

(42:00) The Utah Jazz are willing to listen to offers for star guard, Donovan Mitchell. Should there be a buyer beware? Not because of the player, but the GM (Danny Ainge) and his shrewd business savvy? Will the Knicks be a possibility to bring 'Spida' to the Garden?

(46:11) Heinz Field in Pittsburgh is no more! How these name changes to stadiums has me exasperated beyond belief?
