The USMNT's World Cup run is over after getting run off the field by Belgium, and we're asking the hard question: are they just…mid? We break down another disappointing exit, whether the Balogun suspension drama had any impact, and laugh at FOX's desperate attempts to convince America to keep watching the tournament. Then it's on to the NBA, where Stephen A. Smith sparked another firestorm by ripping the Lakers' new “White Big 3” of Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, and Walker Kessler. We also debate the NBA's experimental one-free-throw rule, discuss the latest LeBron-to-Cleveland rumors, and wonder if Tim Hardaway made the right call by refusing to let his son wear his retired No. 10. Baseball gave us another analytics vs. history debate after the Marlins pulled Eury Pérez in the middle of a perfect game. Should MLB make it illegal to remove a pitcher chasing history? We also talk about MLB's labor propaganda ahead of a potential strike, ScottSki45's Stat of the Week, Joey Chestnut's 18th Mustard Belt, Conor McGregor's latest comeback, PlayStation going all-digital, fantasy football guys, free nights and weekends, David the Gnome, and somehow Brett Hart catches a stray along the way.
