Today on Mike Unleashed, Mike looks at the Damian Lillard trade and how it could affect the 76ers. Other topics include the Ryder Cup, the alligator curse on the Phillies, and how Curt Shilling continues to be a dirtbag. About Mike Unleashed: Damian Lillard Trade, Ryder Cup, and...a Phillies Curse? In this episode of the Mike Missanelli podcast on the BetRivers Network, Mike discusses the recent NBA trade involving Damian Lillard, who unexpectedly joined the Milwaukee Bucks, impacting the Philadelphia 76ers. Mike speculates on Lillard's reasons for choosing Milwaukee over Miami and its implications for the NBA Eastern Conference. Next, Mike shifts his focus to the Ryder Cup, expressing his enthusiasm for the event when it takes place on American soil but disappointment when it's in Europe. He discusses the performance of the American team in the Ryder Cup matches and comments on the naming conventions of the different formats. The podcast briefly touches on Bryce Harper's ejection from a game due to his reaction to a bad call by umpire Angel Hernandez. Mike criticizes Harper for getting involved with an umpire's decision and throwing his helmet. The episode concludes with Mike discussing a controversy involving former MLB player Curt Schilling, who disclosed private health information about Tim Wakefield and his wife without their permission. Mike condemns Schilling's actions and agrees with Jason Varitek's wife's response to the situation. Notable Quotes: "So, I don't know, does Miami have a, does Milwaukee have Collins Avenue? I'm thinking, they don't, I'm thinking they don't have a South beach..." Watch Mike Unleashed on YouTube (link live 7pm EST): https://youtu.be/1jRAFT6nimc
