In today's podcast: John discusses the New York Mets making a huge statement in taking two from the Yankees in the Subway Series this week, and what both teams can take away from this week. Also, the MLB trade deadline is just a few days away, and the first major domino has fallen, with the Yankees acquiring (a soon-to-be-vaxxed) Andrew Benintendi from the Royals, and new suitors emerge in the Juan Soto sweepstakes. Who should acquire Willson Contreras and David Robertson from the Cubs, and what should the Red Sox do with Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers? Then, John claims that Trey Lance may be the biggest X-factor of the 2022 NFL season with the 49ers announcing this week that Lance will be the starting quarterback going forward and the Jimmy Garoppolo era coming to an end. Other NFL topics include the injury to Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen, the New Orleans Saints seeing Michael Thomas return to practice, the open QB situation with the Carolina Panthers, the first year of Doug Pederson coaching Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars, why Patrick Mahomes should never be discounted, even without Tyreek Hill in the fold this season for the Kansas City Chiefs, why people will kick themselves in the foot for discounting the Denver Broncos with Russell Wilson, and the encouraging signs from New York Giants training camp under new head coach Brian Daboll.
