Today’s word of the day is ‘blindsided’ as in didn’t see it coming as in tricked as in hoodwinked as in led astray as in Michael Oher is alleging that he was not adopted by a family, but instead got Britney’d. What is happening? Why is this coming out now? So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about the restricted list in MLB and what the latest update is on Wander Franco. Review: The Thief Collector. Justin Verlander had to respond to criticism from anonymous Mets calling him a diva and detached from his teammates while in New York. Why is this coming out? NPPOD. It’s the Messi Effect. He has taken over MLS. He was taken over stadiums. But is everyone happy about it? The alleged Neymar contract with Saudi Arabia is a doozy. One of the biggest contracts ever.

Serious allegations were brought to light during the game yesterday and it’s all weird. Scheduled day off? Hat giveaway? Leaving during the game? James Harden is done with the Sixers. It’s over.

ESPN’s new $2B deal with PENN will see a new sportsbook enter the market. Why now? Review: You Hurt My Feelings. We have more Commanders drama. It never ends with that team! The Atlanta Braves are built different. The team has 4 players (Acuna, Allies, Olson, Riley) that have played in the team’s first 111 games. And they are great. And they keep winning. NPPOD

What else is happening in the White Sox clubhouse? We’ve got the front office against the players. Review: The Lincoln Lawyer. The Pac-12 became the Pac-9 and then overnight became the Pac-4.

Today’s word of the day is ‘brawl’ as in fight as in punch as in Tim Anderson as in Jose Ramirez as in knockout. What happened? Should it have happened? What happens next? Just take a look at the White Sox clubhouse for answers on how bad things have gone. Are the Angels cursed? They have to be. Buyers at the deadline and still can’t win. Shohei Ohtani on fire… still can’t win. Review: 65. The USWNT had its earliest exit from the World Cup ever. After the loss… the hate was strong from the critics. But was it about soccer? Nope. NPPOD. The Pac-12 is dead. It was ended overnight. What was supposed to be a new media rights deal ended with 4 schools remaining. The Big Ten is now 18. The Big 12 is now 16.

Welcome to the Summer Mailbag Series! Tomorrow is the MLB trade deadline and you all had some questions! Questions not exactly about the deadline but about trades in general! How did Jeff Conine make it to the Marlins? How did that trade go down? Is this how most trades go down? Someone asked me about Cincinnati Reds ownership and if they knew the Diamond Sports fiasco was on its way so they cut spending. Interesting. Someone asked me about trading for a player with a checkered past. This was based off someone like Antonio Brown. How is this handled?

0:00 – Intro
0:45 – Trade deadline incoming!
7:30 – Conine to Marlins
25:40 – TV Money for team spending
34:50 – Trading for bad news bears
