Summer is officially days away, but the latest podcast is right now as I’ve got plenty to ramble about when it comes to what’s going on in sports. On deck:
(2:50) I would’ve been remiss if I didn’t start the podcast by not acknowledging the woman who gave birth to me as it’s her birthday today. So I had to kick off the podcast sending her a birthday wish!
(3:39) There was a thrilling end to the third Grand Slam of golf this year as we have to ask ourselves, did Bryson Dechambeau win the US Open? Or did Rory McIlroy lose it? I’ll breakdown those final few holes that went awry for McIlroy and the epic shot by Dechambeau which won him his second Open in five years.
(22:10) Sweeps were averted in the NBA and Stanley Cup Finals, but there are some scary similarities between the Dallas Mavericks and Edmonton Oilers, who avoided getting swept with resounding Game 4 wins. Does that bode well for both teams going into buildings ready to celebrate championships? I’ll also talk about Charles Barkley retiring from TNT after next year. And what will the new Utah hockey team be called starting this fall?
(43:29) Baseball had some interesting storylines over the past few days. The Orioles took two of three against the Phillies. Some key injuries to contenders (O’s pitcher Kyle Bradish, Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto & INF Mookie Betts) Seattle’s sweep over Texas. An umpire under investigation for gambling and some big series this week, headlined by Orioles-Yankees and Mariners-Guardians.
(58:40) Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence is the latest quarterback to get paid matching Joe Burrow’s contract of $275 million dollars. Is he worth it? Is this a case of what the market price for a QB in 2024?
