We're conditioned to think more cards mean more value. But what if one card could carry the full emotional weight of an entire collection? In this flagship episode, Brett breaks down the psychology behind the “one card mindset”—why it's freeing, how it helps cut through the clutter, and how the right card can serve as a personal time capsule. From a Riley Leonard Superfractor to a Gold Vinyl of Arike Ogunbowale, Brett shares personal examples that prove meaning outweighs volume. This episode is an invitation to rethink what it means to collect with intention.Start your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok

Irish Breakdown answers listener/subscriber submitted questions about Notre Dame women's basketball on today's show. IB's Sean Stires, who is also the radio announcer for Irish women's hoops, is joined by Vince DeDario to answer questions. Some of today's questions include: * What needs to happen during the tournament for the team to win the national championship? * Has freshman post Kate Koval exceeded expectations, or simply met them so far? * Who is out of eligibility after this year, and who is likely to leave early? In other words, who will likely need to be replaced for next year? * Is the “we're all good” attitude on playing time, and ball possession starting to tarnish? Seems like the Louisville, and Va Tech game there were a handful of times, with an open shooter, a player had a face like no-no I'm getting mine. * Has Sonia Citron's role been reduced a little. Seems like she rarely gets 30+ minutes. * How much fun is it to watch Hannah Hidalgo? On TV it's like did she really just do that. Does it look more impressive in person? * Not surprised Liatu King is playing well. Do you think the offense should balance a little more to the inside? * This season ND football took a very aggressive approach to forcing depth to play in order to keep the team as fresh as possible for the playoff season. What does NDWBB do to get the players in peak physical condition for the postseason? Do these concerns impact Niele Ivey's substitution strategies? If yes, how do concerns affect her strategies? * What is the status of Emma Risch? Should we be concerned with her durability? Will she be able to take some minutes off the trio of Hannah, Olivia Miles & Sonia down the stretch? * Per ESPN's stats, ND has committed 325 turnovers in 21 games (15.47 avg per game). Having watched every game, the turnovers often come in bunches & are caused by various issues. Sometimes the lineups don't look comfortable working together yet; sometimes ball handling's an issue; sometimes passes are off target or are made without seeing a defender; sometimes the mental focus seems to drift. What can and should NDWBB be doing to cleanup this issue? As one example, to get you started, Cassandre Prosper has had dozens of turnovers where a pass goes offer hand(s) and out of bounds. Seems to me she needs to do some of those Pistol Pete drills where you rotate the ball around your torso & tap the ball from hand to hand. * With UCLA absolutely rolling & South Carolina looking dominant in all their games except the double digit loss to UCLA, how does ND matchup against those teams? * Niele Ivey has done a good job of utilizing our depth this year, but it's been hard to keep track of which players are playing on the court at the same time. Does Niele tend to play a limited number of lineups that have the same players in together at the same time? Or has she mixed and matched? * Liatu King has been phenomenal in many ways this season. Her addition to the team seems like a near perfect marriage based on her strengths & the role NDWBB needed King to play. Yet, she's only 20 for 44 shooting FTs, which is 45.5%. Once the postseason comes, teams with depth and size may play extra physical & force the referees to call fouls which could put Liatu on the line a lot in close games. Is NDWBB doing anything to improve her free throw shooting? Can ND sub in bigger lineups anytime she gets to the FT line in order to increase their chances of getting a rebound on her missed FTs? How else can ND minimize the damage of her missed free throws turning into easy rebounds for the other team? * I was trying to come up with a comparison for Hannah, and the best I came up with is that she is a female Allen Iverson. What are your thoughts? * Would you rather a backcourt of Jackie Young and Arike Ogunbowale or Miles and Hidalgo? * Do you think the team is having a hard time adjusting to the Hannah's playing style and Olivia's playing style. They are both amazing floor generals and at the same time very different players. * What is Coach Ivey's strategy for recruiting? It seems like she targets a few high level players and either gets them or not. Also her classes seem to usually be pretty small. * Also how are we losing out on a lot of top 100 in state recruits? * Lauren Betts UCLA-If ND ends up playing UCLA in the tournament, how much of a problem will she be (with her size 6'7” and game)? * What is our biggest weakness as a team? * What team or teams do you think will give ND the toughest matchup?

 In today's episode of Locked On UConn, we dive into the Huskies' highly anticipated matchup against Notre Dame at Purcell Pavilion. No. 2 UConn, undefeated at 8-0, faces their biggest test yet as they take on the No. 8 Fighting Irish (7-2) in a game packed with historical significance and current intrigue. With Azzi Fudd sidelined due to a knee sprain, UConn will need key contributions from Ashlynn Shade, Kaitlyn Chen, and KK Arnold to step up in her absence. We break down their roles, Notre Dame's dynamic backcourt trio of Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Miles, and Sonia Citron, and how this storied rivalry continues to shape women's college basketball. We also reflect on the history of UConn vs. Notre Dame, recounting some of their most iconic games and moments, from Final Four buzzer-beaters to national championship battles. This rivalry is more than a game—it's a measuring stick for greatness. As the Huskies look to maintain their unbeaten streak and Notre Dame seeks a statement win, this episode sets the stage for a game with enormous stakes. Show Notes: “UConn Faces Notre Dame: Rising Without Azzi Fudd” Segment 1: Rising to the Challenge Without Azzi FuddWith Azzi Fudd out due to a minor knee sprain, UConn will rely on Ashlynn Shade, Kaitlyn Chen, and KK Arnold to fill the void. Shade, returning to her home state of Indiana, will step into the starting lineup, bringing defensive energy and offensive versatility. Kaitlyn Chen, a grad transfer, must provide scoring and leadership in high-pressure moments. KK Arnold, meanwhile, will play a critical role in defending Hannah Hidalgo, using her physicality and defensive instincts to disrupt Notre Dame's dynamic freshman guard. Geno Auriemma has confidence in this trio to keep the Huskies competitive and maintain their signature efficiency on both ends of the floor. Segment 2: Notre Dame's Star Power and Game PlanNotre Dame enters the game with an elite backcourt trio in Hannah Hidalgo, Olivia Miles, and Sonia Citron. Hidalgo leads the Irish with 24.6 points per game, while Miles adds 17.2 points and 6.6 assists. The team's rebounding strength, led by Liatu King and Kate Koval, will test UConn's frontcourt. Notre Dame thrives on pick-and-roll action and second-chance opportunities, making UConn's ability to contain their guards and win the battle on the boards critical to the game's outcome. Segment 3: The Rivalry RenewedUConn vs. Notre Dame is one of the most storied rivalries in women's basketball history, with 25 top-10 matchups and countless unforgettable moments. From Skylar Diggins' dominance in the 2011 Final Four to Arike Ogunbowale's legendary buzzer-beater in 2018, this rivalry has defined an era. Thursday's game adds a new chapter, as UConn seeks to remain undefeated and Notre Dame looks to prove they can compete with the best. We explore the stakes for both programs, reflect on iconic games from the past, and predict how this matchup could unfold. Ads Gametime Ad CopyThere's nothing like being courtside for a live basketball game.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night 2023 MLB All-Star Game – T-Mobile Park, Seattle National League 3, American League 2 National 3, American 2 – National League snaps All-Star Game losing streak, tops AL 3-2 behind Elias Díaz homer Elias Díaz hit a two-run homer off Félix Bautista in the eighth inning, and the National League snapped a nine-game losing streak in the All-Star Game with a 3-2 win over the American League. The NL won for the first time since an 8-0 victory in 2012 in Kansas City thanks to Díaz, a catcher who became the first Rockies player to win the All-Star MVP award. Díaz, who was non-tendered by the Pirates at the end of 2019, drove a 2-2 pitch from Baltimore’s hard-throwing closer deep to left to put the NL in front. Díaz was the lone representative for Colorado in his first All-Star Game appearance. Friday Chicago White Sox at Atlanta Braves, 7:20 p.m. Boston Red Sox at Chicago Cubs, 8:05 p.m. Detroit Tigers at Seattle Mariners, 10:10 p.m. MLB – Díaz becomes unlikely All-Star MVP, 3 ½ years after cut loose by Pirates Elias Díaz may be the most unlikely All-Star MVP. Just 3 1/2 years after Pittsburgh failed to offer a contract and allowed him to become a free agent, his go-ahead, two-run homer off Félix Bautista in the eighth inning lifted the National League over the American 3-2. A first-time All-Star at age 32, the Colorado catcher put his name on an award won by Willie Mays, Joe Morgan, Frank and Brooks Robinson, both Ken Griffeys and Mike Trout. Díaz says: “I honestly can’t believe that my name is going to be next to some of those names." MLB – White Sox slugger Luis Robert Jr. out of All-Star Game due to calf tightness Chicago White Sox slugger Luis Robert Jr. did not play in the All-Star Game after feeling tightness in his right calf during the Home Run Derby. The White Sox said that Robert underwent an MRI in Seattle and is listed as day-to-day. The team said Robert felt the tightness in the calf during the opening round and did not play in the All-Star Game as a precaution. Robert will be evaluated before the White Sox restart the season on Friday in Atlanta. Robert was the No. 1 seed in the Home Run Derby and beat Baltimore’s Adley Rutschman 28-27 in the opening round. Robert lost to Tampa Bay’s Randy Arozarena in the semifinals 35-22. MLB – Atlanta’s Truist Park and Chicago’s Wrigley Field under consideration for ASG The Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs are under consideration for upcoming All-Star Games. Next year’s game is scheduled for the Texas Rangers’ Globe Life Field in Arlington, and the 2026 game will be at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park. The 2021 All-Star Game was awarded to Atlanta’s Truist Park by Major League Baseball in 2019 but in April 2021 was moved to Denver’s Coors Field following objections to sweeping changes to Georgia’s voting laws. Commissioner Rob Manfred says “Atlanta is in the mix of clubs for the ‘25 All-Star Game.” MLB – Manfred has no intention of altering Pete Rose’s lifetime ban from baseball Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has no intention of altering Pete Rose’s lifetime ban from baseball and said the sport’s commercial deals with gambling companies have no impact on the status of the career hits leader. Rose agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 after an investigation found Rose placed numerous bets on the Cincinnati Reds to win from 1985-87 while playing for and managing the team. Manfred rejected Rose’s application in 2015. Manfred says: “Pete Rose violated what is sort of rule one in baseball, and the consequences of that are clear in the rule.” MLB – MLB open to consider increasing time on pitch clock in postseason Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred will consider increasing time on the pitch clock for the postseason but is reluctant to adjust an innovation the sport considers a great success. In the first season of the clock, the average time of a nine-inning game is 2:38, on track to be the fastest since 1984. It is down from 3:04 last year and 3:09 in 2021, the last season before PitchCom was introduced. Manfred says "we’re going to continue to talk to the players and adds: “I think you ought to play the postseason the way you play the regular season. There’s exceptions.” NBASL – NBA Summer League Last Night Chicago Bulls 107, Sacramento Kings 99 Tonight Detroit Pistons vs. Toronto Raptors, 6:00 p.m.              (at Thomas and Mack Center, Las Vegas) Indiana Pacers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder, 7:30 p.m.        (at Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas) NBA – Flopping, challenge rules changed by NBA’s Board of Governors The NBA’s Board of Governors approved two rule changes for the coming season Tuesday. One change gives coaches a second challenge if their first one is successful. The other will mean a technical foul will be called against players who flop. The challenge rule change is something that coaches have wanted for some time. Coaches who challenge a call and are successful will get the chance to make a second challenge. Teams must have a timeout in order to call for a challenge; that timeout would not be retained even if a coach won that first challenge. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Today New York Liberty at Indiana Fever, 12:00 p.m. Connecticut Sun at Chicago Sky, 12:00 p.m. WNBA – WNBA All-Star skills competition now features teammates partnering up The WNBA is changing its All-Star skills challenge with the new format pitting four sets of teammates against each other in a head-to-head competition.

There was no announcement by the school when it comes to the leadership of the program after Fitzgerald’s dismissal. The first game of the season is Sept. 3 at Rutgers.

She got there at Wimbledon by beating No. 1 Iga Swiatek in three sets Tuesday. Things are much different for Svitolina now than they were the last time she made it to the final four at a major tournament. She is a mother who gave birth to a daughter nine months ago and returned to the tour three months ago. And she is concerned about the war in her native Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in February 2022. Svitolina will face Marketa Vondrousova for a berth in Saturday’s final.

And Norman will exit as CEO A PGA Tour executive has told Congress that Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund agreed to invest more than $1 billion in a new commercial entity controlled by the tour. Ron Price, the tour’s chief operating officer, also said at a hearing Tuesday that Greg Norman will be ousted as the CEO of LIV Golf if the business deal between the Saudis and the tour is finalized. The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is looking into the negotiations between the tour and the Saudis and the geopolitical implications of Saudi investment in American sports.
