Arizona State Head Coach (and Sun Devils alumni) Kenny Dillingham joins this week's episode of The Unafraid Show as George Wrighster makes the trip to Tempe, Arizona to interview a Dillingham and the rest of the staff. George also gives his take on the next five years of SEC conference Football play in the post-Nick Saban era, scolds Arch Manning for refusing to be part of the new NCAA video game franchise, and gives his take on the Lakers LeBron James' reaching the NBA 40,000 point plateau! In the opening segment, George Wrighster takes on the SEC conference where “it just means more.” The SEC conference has added Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners. Plus Nick Saban has retired form Alabama. So with all the changes, who does George believe will be the top Dawg (hint hint) in the conference over the next five years? Will Steve Sarkisian be able to avoid the temptation of the NFL? Can Lane Kiffin turn his transfer portal magic into a College Football Playoff appearance? Can Billy Napier survive the Florida Gators hot seat? Next, George flies to Tempe to find out if Kenny Dillingham really has what it takes to turn Arizona State around, and digs into why the Uber-young head coach believes that all the changes in college football are actually making the sport better, and not worse. Arch Manning is refusing to appear in EA Sports long-awaited iteration of NCAA football, and George picks apart the reason that was given to the media. Does Arch think he's Michael Jordan? And finally, how many milestones does LeBron James need to accomplish for his haters to admit that he's “one of one?” #kennydillingham #arizonastatefootball #sundevils #big12football #collegefootball #asu #unafraidshow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dalton Trigg discusses the latest offseason rumblings involving upcoming Dallas Mavericks free agent Kyrie Irving.

Trout hasn’t played since July 12. He missed the Angels’ past 30 games with an injury to his upper back and ribcage. He faced live pitching Monday and worked out Wednesday. The workouts left him confident he will be able to play against the Tigers when the Angels open a lengthy road trip. Trout earned an All-Star selection this summer while batting .270 with 24 homers and 51 RBIs in 79 games. But he has missed significant playing time for the second straight season. MLB – Former Phillies manager Joe Girardi to join Cubs TV booth Former Phillies manager Joe Girardi has joined Marquee Sports Network as an game analyst for the Chicago Cubs, one of his former teams. Marquee says Girardi will join Jon Sciambi and former big league pitcher Jim Deshaies in the booth for this weekend’s series against Milwaukee. He also will work next month’s series at Miami. Marquee Sports Network is jointly owned by the Cubs and Sinclair Broadcast Group. The 57-year-old Girardi was the manager in Philadelphia before he was fired in June. He had a 132-141 record over three years with the Phillies. NFL – National Football League – Preseason Week 2 Tonight Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks, 8:00 p.m. NFL – Colts, Lions get physical on 1st day of joint practices Indianapolis coach Frank Reich enjoyed watching the first joint practice with the Detroit Lions. He liked the spirited play, the intensity, even the controlled chippiness. Lions quarterback Jared Goff just enjoyed working against a different defense — once he settled in. It was a solid start to a long, busy week of work. The two teams will hold another practice against one another Thursday and meet Saturday for their second preseason game. WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – Round 1 (Best of three) Last Night New York Liberty 98, Chicago Sky 91 (NYL leads 1-0) Liberty 98, Sky 91 – Liberty score final 13 points, beat Sky in playoff opener Sabrina Ionescu had 22 points, seven rebounds and six assists, Natasha Howard also scored 22 points and the seventh-seeded New York Liberty beat the defending champion Chicago Sky 98-91 in the opening game of the WNBA playoffs.

NBA – LeBron James inks 2-year, $97.1 million deal with Lakers LeBron James has agreed to a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension through the 2024-25 season with the Los Angeles Lakers. The maximum deal includes a player option for the 2024-25 season that would keep the second-leading scorer in NBA history with the Lakers past his 40th birthday. James was headed into the final year of his most recent deal with the Lakers, who signed the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player and four-time league champion in July 2018. Barring injury, James is likely to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s career scoring king this winter. NCAA – Big Ten – USC, UCLA exits could cost Pac-12 schools $13M in rights A new report says the departures of Southern California and UCLA from the Pac-12 Conference could mean an estimated loss of around $13 million per year in media rights for each of the remaining schools. The interim report was released during a Board of Regents meeting held at UCLA to address its move to the Big Ten Conference in 2024. California Gov. Gavin Newsom demanded an explanation from UCLA about the move when he attended last month’s Board of Regents meeting in San Francisco. UCLA and USC announced in June that the schools would be leaving the Pac-12 Conference in two years. USC is a private institution and not part of the UC system. Golf – LIV – Report: LIV draft contract has restrictions and major bonus The Wall Street Journal is reporting LIV Golf players need permission to grant exclusive interviews and agree to help recruit other players. The Journal says it reviewed a draft contract that Saudi-funded LIV Golf offered players. The newspaper says it wasn’t clear if terms in the draft are in all contracts or can be negotiated. None of the signing bonuses are mentioned. One provision says players would get a $1 million bonus if they were to win any of the four majors. Meanwhile, Greg Norman has sent a letter updating LIV Golf’s request for world ranking points. Golf – PGA – Players-only private meeting was all about a better PGA Tour Tiger Woods felt strongly enough about a private meeting of top PGA Tour players that he flew from Florida to Delaware to attend. What’s emerging from that players-only meeting is unity against a rival league funded by Saudi money and how to make the PGA Tour better. There was another form of unity. No one is willing to share details on the best way forward. Xander Schauffele says there was a code to keep tight lips. Rory McIlroy says the ideas are for tour executives to hear as they forge a path. As for Woods? McIlroy says he remains the biggest voice. NHL – Blackhawks agree to 1-year deal with D Jack Johnson The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to a one-year contract with Jack Johnson after the veteran defenseman helped Colorado win the Stanley Cup last season. Johnson’s contract carries a $950,000 hit to the salary cap. General manager Kyle Davidson says Johnson “provides the team with a strong veteran presence, good size and a competitive edge.” The 35-year-old Johnson broke into the NHL with the Los Angeles Kings in 2007. He has 72 goals and 240 assists in 1,024 games, also playing for Columbus, Pittsburgh and the New York Rangers. NASCAR – Kimi Raikkonen hits pause on retirement to race NASCAR Kimi Raikkonen will take a break from his retirement to return to racing this weekend in the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen International in upstate New York.

He had a 132-141 record over three years with the Phillies. NFL – National Football League – Preseason Week 2 Tonight Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks, 8:00 p.m. NFL – Colts, Lions get physical on 1st day of joint practices Indianapolis coach Frank Reich enjoyed watching the first joint practice with the Detroit Lions. He liked the spirited play, the intensity, even the controlled chippiness. Lions quarterback Jared Goff just enjoyed working against a different defense — once he settled in. It was a solid start to a long, busy week of work. The two teams will hold another practice against one another Thursday and meet Saturday for their second preseason game. WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – Round 1 (Best of three) Last Night New York Liberty 98, Chicago Sky 91 (NYL leads 1-0) Liberty 98, Sky 91 – Liberty score final 13 points, beat Sky in playoff opener Sabrina Ionescu had 22 points, seven rebounds and six assists, Natasha Howard also scored 22 points and the seventh-seeded New York Liberty beat the defending champion Chicago Sky 98-91 in the opening game of the WNBA playoffs. New York scored the final 13 points of the fourth quarter as Chicago missed 10 of its last 11 shots. Ionescu made a 3-pointer and a jumper from the free-throw line during the run, and Marine Johannes highlighted the spurt with an over-the-shoulder pass to Howard. New York, which won its first playoff game since September 23, 2015, plays Game 2 of the best-of-three series at Chicago on Saturday. Betnijah Laney added 17 points and Stefanie Dolson scored 13 for New York, which set a franchise scoring record in the playoffs. NBA – LeBron James inks 2-year, $97.1 million deal with Lakers LeBron James has agreed to a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension through the 2024-25 season with the Los Angeles Lakers. The maximum deal includes a player option for the 2024-25 season that would keep the second-leading scorer in NBA history with the Lakers past his 40th birthday. James was headed into the final year of his most recent deal with the Lakers, who signed the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player and four-time league champion in July 2018. Barring injury, James is likely to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s career scoring king this winter. NCAA – Big Ten – USC, UCLA exits could cost Pac-12 schools $13M in rights A new report says the departures of Southern California and UCLA from the Pac-12 Conference could mean an estimated loss of around $13 million per year in media rights for each of the remaining schools. The interim report was released during a Board of Regents meeting held at UCLA to address its move to the Big Ten Conference in 2024. California Gov. Gavin Newsom demanded an explanation from UCLA about the move when he attended last month’s Board of Regents meeting in San Francisco. UCLA and USC announced in June that the schools would be leaving the Pac-12 Conference in two years. USC is a private institution and not part of the UC system. Golf – LIV – Report: LIV draft contract has restrictions and major bonus The Wall Street Journal is reporting LIV Golf players need permission to grant exclusive interviews and agree to help recruit other players. The Journal says it reviewed a draft contract that Saudi-funded LIV Golf offered players. The newspaper says it wasn’t clear if terms in the draft are in all contracts or can be negotiated. None of the signing bonuses are mentioned. One provision says players would get a $1 million bonus if they were to win any of the four majors. Meanwhile, Greg Norman has sent a letter updating LIV Golf’s request for world ranking points. Golf – PGA – Players-only private meeting was all about a better PGA Tour Tiger Woods felt strongly enough about a private meeting of top PGA Tour players that he flew from Florida to Delaware to attend. What’s emerging from that players-only meeting is unity against a rival league funded by Saudi money and how to make the PGA Tour better. There was another form of unity. No one is willing to share details on the best way forward. Xander Schauffele says there was a code to keep tight lips. Rory McIlroy says the ideas are for tour executives to hear as they forge a path. As for Woods? McIlroy says he remains the biggest voice. NHL – Blackhawks agree to 1-year deal with D Jack Johnson The Chicago Blackhawks have agreed to a one-year contract with Jack Johnson after the veteran defenseman helped Colorado win the Stanley Cup last season. Johnson’s contract carries a $950,000 hit to the salary cap. General manager Kyle Davidson says Johnson “provides the team with a strong veteran presence, good size and a competitive edge.” The 35-year-old Johnson broke into the NHL with the Los Angeles Kings in 2007. He has 72 goals and 240 assists in 1,024 games, also playing for Columbus, Pittsburgh and the New York Rangers. NASCAR – Kimi Raikkonen hits pause on retirement to race NASCAR Kimi Raikkonen will take a break from his retirement to return to racing this weekend in the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen International in upstate New York. The 2007 Formula One world champion will drive for TrackHouse Racing and its Project91, which is a program to give top international drivers exposure to NASCAR. Sunday’s race with the Raikkonen is the debut of Project91. The Finnish driver has tried NASCAR racing once before. In 2011, he ran the Xfinity and Truck Series races at Charlotte. This will be his Cup debut. There are a NASCAR-record seven countries represented in Sunday’s field.

LeBron James became a billionaire this week, fueled in part by his work in Hollywood as a producer and actor. So what awaits him going forward in the world of entertainment? Can he carve out a niche as an actor? Is his future really as a dealmaker, working behind the scenes as a producer. His newest venture, Hustle, starring Adam Sandler, debuts next week on Netflix and is getting quality early buzz. So what kind of Hollywood star is James? Amy Nicholson, host of the Unspooled podcast and NY Times film critic, who just happens to be a massive Lakers fan, joins the show to talk about James, the Lakers, Tom Cruise and the nature of stardom. Is the nature of the superstar, in entertainment and sports alike, shifting for good? But first, we lament the departure of Alex Caruso to Chicago -- Amy has multiple t-shirts celebrating Caruso and other Lakers players who all tend to get traded once she makes the investment -- and the team's broad unwillingness to grow their own rosters. Even when success comes, it does leave an emotional hole. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (Guest, Amy Nicholson!) SEGMENT 1: Lamenting the departure of Alex Caruso, the inability to wear Caruso threads because of it, and what is missing when fans cheer for a mercinary squad. SEGMENT 2: LeBron James and Hollywood. How much has he accomplished, and where does he go from here? SEGMENT 3: Talking Tom Cruise. Is he the Last Great Hollywood Movie Star?
