Just days away from September as we say bye bye to a slow stretch in the sports world with the final podcast of the month coming at ya. On deck:

(2:54) Some housekeeping to begin. The latest vlog on the YouTube channel is forthcoming this Saturday, so keep your eyes peeled for that. And, of course, OLIPOP soda. Please see promo above.

(5:18) We can say goodbye to the Sports Dead Zone, Pt. 2 as we get set for what will be an intriguing college football season. Between teams moving from old conferences to new, schedules that have been enhanced and a twelve team playoff format that’s ushered in for the first time in the sport’s history. I’ll unpack a couple of big picture storylines on how the chase for the postseason is fueling a regular season that we’ll experience for the first time. I’ll predict who’ll win it all and do any of the teams (5-12 to qualify for the playoffs) have a shot to go all the way?

(32:20) It was another gut punch by the Mets to their core fans (yours truly included) after losing another eighth inning lead on this road trip, putting them in a spot where they may not make the postseason at all. Is that going to be the case? The Kansas City Royals had a golden opportunity to take over first place in the AL Central, but squandered a late lead as the Guardians salvaged a series and took back first place in the process. Are the Royals for real? I’ll update the latest with the division and wild card races, with both the Cubs and Tigers trying to get into the playoff discussion.

(49:58) The NFL is now one week away. Next Thursday the new season begins. No previews or over/unders just yet, but am I looking forward to the upcoming year? You may be surprised by the answer, but I’ll surely explain. Plus, CeeDee Lamb gets his money in Dallas. No notable cuts on the league’s cut day Tuesday. Former Rams LB Ernest Jones finds a new home and Russell Wilson will start at quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

(57:12) The US Open is in full swing. Not much to report as far as major upsets, but history was made as the longest match in Open history took place between Daniel Evans vs. Karen Khachanov. With Evans winning, will he embark on a magic carpet ride into the weekend?
