As the Northeast and a lot of the nation was under some record heat as summer arrived on Thursday, there won’t be much cooling off, ESPECIALLY when it comes to yours truly. Doing what I love to deliver all of the latest and greatest in the world of sports. On deck:

(4:14) It all boils down to tonight. A Game 7 of epic proportions with history in the making. No matter how you slice it, the Edmonton Oilers-Florida Panthers could be a game to remember. I’ll break down all of the drama, intrigue and suspense leading into tonight’s matchup. What it will mean to the Oilers if they win or lose? And the same for the Panthers?

(27:28) MLB had a very interesting few days as it’ll be soon the only major sport standing until we get to September. Baseball did a great job covering the Tribute to the Negro Leagues game on Rickwood Field Thursday night in Birmingham, AL. The Yankees haven’t fared well against the better opposition in the league as they’ve lost four of their last five series. The Orioles, coming off of winning two out of three vs. the Yanks, get swept in Houston. The first time they’ve been swept in the regular season since 2022. Speaking of the Astros, they’re trying to get back in the thick of the AL West/playoff picture as they’ve won five in a row. Then you have Max Scherzer, returning to the Rangers starting rotation, putting up a solid five inning outing against the Royals as they try to make a run in light of their World Series championship last year. In the NL, the Phillies took two of three vs. Arizona as they met after their NLCS encounter a year ago. Break up the Mets? They’ve won 13 of 19, but will lose their closer Edwin Diaz to suspension because of sticky stuff. Seriously?

(47:42 ) The worst kept secret in the NBA was confirmed as JJ Redick is the next coach of the LA Lakers. With LeBron James’s influence and friendship with JJ, could this turn out to be disastrous? OKC made a shrewd trade by acquiring Alex Caruso from Chicago for Josh Giddey. Plus, the NBA Draft is forthcoming on Wednesday and Thursday this week, taking a page out of the NFL, spreading out the draft over a couple of days. Is this draft deep enough to warrant a two day affair?Please subscribe, leave a rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Audacy, Amazon Music and iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
