Jake & Ben Full Show from July 30, 2026 Hour 1  Is Kyle Whittingham Going to Ride off Into the Sunset at Michigan? Top 3 Stories of the Day: A Betting Scandal Has hit the WNBA, Taysom Hill Says Goodbye to the New Orleans Saints, LeBron James could partner with ESPN for Documentary How Should Mascots Dress? Hour 2 Keyonte George talked with Washington Commanders Head Coach Dan Quinn and told him getting in shape is what led to his Year 3 Breakout.  LaMelo Ball has been sued by Cam Newton's Family  Is Goalie The Most Stressful Job in Sports?  Hour 3 Details on Why The Kawhi Leonard Investigation is Taking So Long Steve Bartle on How Utah Camp Might Be Different Under Morgan Scalley Audio Vault: LPGA Golfer Charley Hull "Pranked" Her Caddy with Fake Lottery Ticket. Is That Mean? Hour 4 Live at 5 - Kyle Whittingham took the podium at Big 10 Media Days and talked about inheriting the program after years of scandals.  Its' Nice to not have any QB Battles this Summer Brett, one of our voicemails from yesterday, reveals the truth behind whether or not he was inebriated. 

Farace, Tim, and Anthony are back for Episode 141 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct, and this week the sports world apparently needed a babysitter. The NBA offseason went completely off the rails, Tony Romo found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, the NFL offseason keeps handing out pressure points, the WNBA All-Star weekend gave us great basketball and some league-office weirdness, MLB trade deadline rumors are heating up, and SummerSlam is sitting there looking like the calmest thing on the board. Which is insane, because it's wrestling.We start with the NBA, because honestly, how could we not? Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis are headed to Miami, Jaylen Brown and LeBron James are now in Philadelphia, Paul George is in Boston, Kawhi Leonard is back in Toronto, Ja Morant is in Portland, LaMelo Ball is in Minnesota, Julius Randle is in Brooklyn, and Mitchell Robinson somehow ended up with the Celtics because apparently Knicks fans were too happy and the universe had to fix that. Andre Drummond is now in New York, Austin Reaves got paid, Trae Young stayed put, and every fanbase is currently pretending their front office had a master plan instead of a Red Bull and a trade machine.Then we jump to the NFL, where Tony Romo's DUI situation leads the conversation before the guys get into the bigger offseason picture. Kyle Shanahan has more pressure, Baker Mayfield has more questions, Brandon Aiyuk's future is still hanging around, and teams around the league are trying to convince everyone their offseason moves solved everything. Very cute. Very July. Let's check back when somebody is 2-4 and blaming the coordinator.The WNBA All-Star Game also gets some time, with Jonquel Jones taking MVP honors and the league creating its own unnecessary side drama after posting and deleting a video tied to Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese, and a friendly wager. Great basketball, more attention than ever, and then the league office decided to step on a rake in public. Impressive range.Baseball gets its turn with the MLB trade deadline approaching and big names floating around. Tarik Skubal, Robbie Ray, Freddy Peralta, Mason Miller, Luis Arráez, Eugenio Suárez, Luis Robert Jr., George Springer, and plenty more could be part of the deadline madness. Contenders need pitching, sellers want ridiculous returns, and Mets names being involved means Farace is probably going to suffer at least once during this segment. Tradition matters.And then there's SummerSlam, with CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi inside Hell in a Cell, Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY, Penta vs. Chad Gable, and enough chaos across both nights to make wrestling Twitter unbearable before the first bell even rings. Which, to be fair, is kind of the point.So Episode 141 has it all: NBA trade chaos, LeBron in Philly, Giannis in Miami, Romo headlines, NFL offseason drama, WNBA All-Star buzz, MLB deadline rumors, and SummerSlam madness. Farace, Tim, and Anthony are locked in, the takes will be loud, the patience will be low, and somebody is absolutely going to defend a terrible opinion long after the rest of the room has moved on.Business as usual.#NBA #NFL #MLBTradeDeadline #SummerSlam #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros

With Gavin out on vacation, Nathaniel returns to the studio just in time for one of the biggest Minnesota sports debates yet: if Anthony Edwards retired today, is he already the greatest Timberwolf of all time? The guys compare Ant's resume to Kevin Garnett, Karl-Anthony Towns, and the rest of the franchise's history while breaking down just how quickly Edwards has climbed the Timberwolves record books. It sparks a conversation about where this current Wolves team ranks among every Minnesota roster and what Ant still needs to accomplish to officially claim the top spot. From there, the conversation shifts to the NBA offseason as the latest LeBron James rumors continue to heat up. Is Minnesota actually a realistic destination? Would Miami or Cleveland make more sense? And how much does adding LaMelo Ball change the Timberwolves' championship outlook? To wrap things up, Nathaniel returns with a full World Cup recap after correctly predicting most of the tournament's biggest outcomes. The crew breaks down Spain's dominant run, controversial VAR decisions, whether third-place matches should exist at all, and the changes they'd make to improve international soccer moving forward. Plus: •ESPN's latest round of layoffs •Kendrick Perkins' legendary "phantom screens" •World Cup hosting controversies •JJ Redick's NBA career earnings •Why athletes are playing at elite levels longer than ever As always, it's debates, offseason speculation, World Cup reactions, and enough random sports rabbit holes to keep the arguments going long after the episode ends.

This week on Sports Guyz Only, Nathaniel is out sick, which leaves the rest of the crew plenty of time to roast Carter's wedding, question whether jeans belong at formal events, and pitch perhaps the greatest wedding job of all time: making Joey the official beer vendor at a future reception. Then it's time for sports. The guys dive into one of the biggest debates of the podcast: did the Minnesota Wild have any choice but to pay Kirill Kaprizov? Using Sidney Crosby's historic contract as the measuring stick, they break down NHL salary cap percentages, Florida's tax advantage, whether Kaprizov is truly a top-tier superstar, and just how much a franchise player should command. It's a passionate hockey debate that has the crew ranking the NHL's best players and arguing over what it really takes to build a Stanley Cup contender. The conversation shifts to the NBA as Victor Wembanyama's decision to leave money on the table sparks a discussion about stars sacrificing salary to chase championships. That naturally leads back to the latest LeBron James rumors, with the guys debating whether Minnesota still has a legitimate shot, why Cleveland might make the most sense, and whether pairing LeBron with LaMelo Ball would actually work. The episode closes with fantasy football season officially on the horizon. The crew brainstorms new league rules, dynasty formats, hilarious punishments, and ways to make every season just a little more chaotic. Plus: •Ranking the NHL's current superstars •NFL dynasty debates •Odell Beckham Jr.'s comments on "generational wealth" •Blake Bortles' legendary retirement mindset •Kendrick Perkins as sports television entertainment •Nathaniel's impressive World Cup predictions As always, it's hockey arguments, NBA offseason rumors, fantasy football trash talk, and enough random tangents to remind everyone why no topic is ever truly off limits.

The guys kick things off with Joey's brutally honest assessment of Team USA after their disappointing World Cup exit, and things somehow spiral into presidential phone calls, VAR controversies, and whether the U.S. accidentally gave Belgium all the motivation they needed. From there, the conversation turns into a debate over some of the greatest athletes and dynasties in sports history. The crew compares Tiger Woods' unbelievable peak to legends like Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James while asking what truly makes an athlete the greatest of all time. The NBA discussion focuses on the growing rumors surrounding LeBron James and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Would LeBron actually fit alongside Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball? Could Minnesota become an instant championship favorite? The guys break down the basketball fit, leadership impact, and whether the Wolves should go all-in if the opportunity presents itself. The episode wraps up with some of the strangest competitions in sports, including the controversial Enhanced Games, Joey Chestnut somehow continuing to redefine competitive eating, and an all-time hypothetical: who wins a race between Usain Bolt and Joey Chestnut if both have to eat a hot dog before crossing the finish line?

Bomani Jones is joined by Vernon “Mad Max” Maxwell for a long, funny, and extremely candid NBA conversation on this episode of The Right Time. Maxwell returns to the show to talk about his second act in sports media, how he still trains like a player, and why he believes some of the biggest storylines in the league are being misunderstood. Bomani and Max dive deep into the Jalen Brown conversation, including why Maxwell remains so high on Brown as a player, why he thinks the criticism has gone too far, and what Brown could look like in Philadelphia alongside Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid. They also get into what Boston may have gotten wrong, whether Jayson Tatum should have done more to keep Brown around, and why the Celtics' decision still doesn't sit right with Max. The conversation also covers Hakeem Olajuwon's one-of-one greatness, Giannis Antetokounmpo trade speculation involving the Miami Heat, LeBron James' future after the Lakers, the appeal of a Jokic-LeBron fit in Denver, LaMelo Ball's evolution, Jalen Brunson's footwork and mentality, and why Victor Wembanyama could be on the verge of becoming the face of the NBA.

Before welcoming Bobby Manning of CLNS, Wes runs through the moves he feels most confident about—including the Clippers' franchise reset, Miami's blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Charlotte's decision to move on from LaMelo Ball, and why Phoenix's trade for Miles Bridges leaves more questions than answers. He also dives into the moves he's still wrestling with, including Ja Morant's fit in Portland, the Lakers' massive investment in Walker Kessler, and whether Philadelphia's acquisition of Jaylen Brown will age well.  Then Bobby Manning joins the show to unpack Brad Stevens' explanation for trading Brown, discussing the impact of the new CBA, Boston's financial reality, whether the Celtics waited too long to pivot, and where the franchise goes from here.
