0:00 - This year felt different for the USA Men. Turns out, it was the same. Let's ask the age-old question that we've been asking for decades. Why isn't soccer bigger in the US? It's the most popular sport in the World by a country mile, and yet it's the 5th-most popular sport in the US at best.15:18 - The Kings waived DeMar DeRozan. Should the Nuggets take a chance on him? Maybe a 1-year rental?Also, Elliotte Friedman said that the Avalanche might be interested in procuring the services of Connor Hellebuyck. Why? They already have 2 great goalies.

Look at what the Avs did to him in 2024.32:55 - Oh, by the way...Trey McBride went on Bussin' with the Boys and had some less-than-favorable things to say about his alma mater CSU. The clip may have been taken out of context, but it's a bit of a bummer.Oh, by the way...if we did a redraft of the 2024 NFL Draft, would Bo Nix still be the 6th QB taken? Or would he move up the ranks?Oh, by the way...Pringles is releasing a limited run of hot dog buns that are flavored like Pringles. And, they'll even be sold in Pringles cans. Moser is the Glizzy expert of the show. Is that something he'll purchase?
