Another Forgetful MLB HR Derby & All-Star Game/Second Half Preview. ESPY's: Who's Watching? Jimmy G On The Move To Cleveland? Harden Re-ups With 76ers. Can He Turn Back The Clock?
Summer is heating up. Which isn't the case throughout the sports landscape, but there are some things to discuss as yours truly, will deliver the latest and greatest on what's happening. On deck:
(4:14) As I mentioned, with not much going on in the sports universe, baseball saves the day as I'll recap a laborious Home Run Derby on Monday night, a lackluster All-Star Game and why it has become such a slog to watch? More importantly, we turn our attention to the 'second half' of the season as I'll breakdown all of the divisions, the wild card races, who's in prime position to make it to the dance and who'll be on the outside looking in as we get started on the race to October baseball throughout the rest of the summer.
(34:39) I'll spend literally a minute or so on the ESPY's which was broadcast last night.
(36:15) NFL training camps will open up next week. News coming out of San Francisco is that the 49ers have granted permission for Jimmy Garoppolo to seek a trade. Where will he end up? Is Cleveland the obvious destination? I'll also spend a moment on the passing of former Steelers #1 pick, wide receiver Charles Johnson at the age of 50.
(41:25) James Harden has signed an extension to stay with 76ers and provide some relief to their cap. The focus will be on redeeming himself over the last couple of years with the decline of his play. Will he be able to resurrect his career to where it was in Houston and deliver a title to Philadelphia?
