We start of this week's episode by discussing the moves made by the LA Clippers that brought Paul George AND Kawhi Leonard to the team, and how we think that will affect the rest of the NBA season.  We also discuss a possible trade of Russel Westbrook to the Miami Heat, and what we would be willing to give up in exchange for the former MVP point guard.  We also talk about Jorge Masvidal's brutal knockout of Ben Askren at UFC239 before getting into the MLB's All-Star festivities.  We wrap the episode up by congratulating the USWNT on their 4th World Cup victory.

Today is the beginning of MLB's All-Star week, but we are still talking about the NBA. The NBA has become the top sport in the US (when football is offseason).

On this week's episode, David Spampinato and Dan DiOrio talk Yankees and Mets recent struggles, MLB's All Star festivities and the changes that were made, and give their halfway point superlatives.

Prospect Dominic Smith also stopped by to talk about his journey through the Minors. The episode finishes with an interview with brand manager Mark Von Ohlen about the new Doctor Who set, Doctor Who Timeless.

Let's face facts, the "Mid-Summer Classic" is now the "Mid-Summer Snoozefest." Host Chet Coppock explains why MLB's All Star festivities are basically professional wrestling in double knits! For starters, Chris Berman calls the Home Run Derby. And as for the game itself, nobody truly competes or wants to pitch more than an inning!
