Home Run Derby Controversy | What Is LSU Up To? | FIFA Wants 64 Teams?!
The Home Run Derby gave us plenty to talk about this year. Netflix took its first swing at broadcasting the event, Jordan Walker's winning home run sparked controversy over the missing magenta ball, and Bryce Harper thinks it's time to bring aluminum bats to the Derby.
We also dive into Harper's unexpected dispute with FanDuel after a personalized Cameo video was allegedly used to market to a chronic gambler, plus the wild story of a former Las Vegas Little League president accused of spending league funds on strip clubs, gambling, PlayStation games, and even ED medication.
On the soccer side, FIFA is already talking about expanding the World Cup to 64 teams, we react to the possibility of an all-heavyweight World Cup Final, and break down the pettiest player release announcement you'll ever see from a Brazilian club.
We also discuss:
- Is Louisiana cooking up a pyramid scheme for LSU's NIL funding?
- Why Washington athletics expects to lose $16 million.
- Paul Skenes getting called a future Yankee.
- Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro's Summer League altercation.
- The Hurricanes owner putting his entire family on the Stanley Cup.
- Sip, Chug, Drainpour featuring baseball's best plays and the worst ways to get taken out by an aluminum bat.
