Today’s word of the day is ‘scenario’ as in what a weekend as in Trump shot as in CONMEBOL madness as in Wimbledon as in MLB Draft as in so much crazy took place. Some way more disgraceful than others. Former President Donal Trump was on the campaign trail and was shot at, and injured. One spectator was killed. The lone gunman was killed. Multiple people were injured in the chaos. What a disgraceful time we are in. What happened in Miami for the Argentina v. Colombia game should never have happened. People storming the gates. Fans fighting. People crawling through air ducts! People without tickets forcing themselves in. Sad. Review: Me. NPPOD. Home Run Derby is tonight! Who ya got!? Jalen Brunson signed his new deal with the Knicks. Took a major, major discount for “roster flexibility” wow…. Let’s wrap up the show with some things we couldn’t get to.

Today’s word of the day is ‘no-no’ as in no hitter as in Paul Skenes as in Pirates as in Brewers as in ace. Paul Skenes was pulled from a no-hitter through 7 innings yesterday. Pirates manager Derek Shelton had quite the BS to tell us about why he was pulled. We are 2 days away from the MLB draft. Trade talks are heating up. The Astros want to make a trade badly it looks like. Now they’re in striking distance from the Mariners and the Wild Card. NPPOD. Review: The Bikeriders. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about TNT trying to match an Amazon package to keep NBA rights. Hmmm. What is the latest with the Athletics? Have you seen the weather in Las Vegas and Sacramento?

Today’s word of the day is ‘malice’ as in Malice at Tepper’s Palace as in Copa America as in Uruguay as in Colombia. Colombia wins the semifinals match and then a HUGE brawl takes place. How does this happen? Why did this happen? Kawhi Leonard has dropped out of Team USA. Why? Injury. Just 3 days ago he said he was healthy. He was replace by Derrick White, and Jaylen Brown is not happy! The NBA is finalizing a $76 billion media rights deal. Oh my lanta. NBC. ESPN. Amazon. Games everyday. Streaming. TV. Everywhere. Review: Captain Fantastic. Jontay Porter is going to go to jail. Banned from the NBA for gambling scandal. Now jail. Wander Franco has been moved to the restricted list. No more pay for him. Bobby Miller was optioned to AAA. The Dodgers have no pitching and that wasn’t even enough to keep Miller up. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘charged’ as in Wander Franco as in the Tampa Bay Rays. Franco’s career is over. Charged I the Dominican Republic with crimes against a minor. Horrible. Disgusting. See ya. The Yankees just keep losing. Worst team in MLB right now. How did they fall so far? The Dodgers injured list is All-Star caliber. It’s unreal. Almost the entire rotation is on it. Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy cannot be serious. I mean… what in the world was that. Review: I Am Celine Dion. NPPOD. What are the Pittsburgh Pirates going to do? Publicly the owner says he’ll spend. Privately he told staff he won’t spend. Hmm. A 16-year old star. Lamine Yamal. What a story for Spain.

Today’s word of the day is ‘19 yutes’ as in MLB as in All-Star Game as in young players as in Elly as in Skenes as in Witt. Youth takeover has come for the All-Star Game. Is this good for baseball? What about snubs? What about hosting the game but not having a bunch of players? The Yankees are bad. Very very bad. What is happening with them? Is Aaron Boone safe? Is Brian Cashman going to make moves? Are they going to win a series again? Cubs RP Colton Brewer is now on the 60-day IL. Not bad. Injuries happen. But breaking your hand punching a dugout wall? VERY bad! Mike Trout is still hurt. Mike Trout hasn’t played on the Fourth of July since 2019. Mike Trout is always hurt. Jose Miranda set a record for batting. It’s so impressive we have to mention it. Review: Beverly Hills Cop: AxelF. Lakers, Lakers, Lakers! LeBron, LeBron, LeBron! Bronny, Bronny, Bronny! NPPOD. Let’s discuss what’s going on with the NWSL. Angel City FC for sale? A new Disney movie? What about what’s happening in San Diego?

Today’s word of the day is ‘family matters’ as in family as in the Winslow family as in the Lakers family as in the James family. The Lakers introduced Bronny James with JJ Redick and Rob Plink. Just some unreal quotes. The James family isn’t the only Laker family in the news. Klay Thompson’s dad was not happy with him. Mychal Thompson wanted his son to be a Laker. Tim Anderson was DFA’d by the Marlins. The Marlins continue to pay players to not be there. NPPOD. Review: Furiousa. Let me explain what’s happening with the Detroit Tigers broadcaster Craig Monroe. It’s not good. The Florida Panthers have a new TV deal. Goodbye, Bally. Hello, Scripps.
