Mike, Charlie, and Steve played their daily "Triple Option" segment. Mike shared a historic date regarding New Orleans' old ABA team. Charlie praised Pistons PG Cade Cunningham for leading Detroit back from a 3-1 deficit against Orlando and discussed the fallout from that series. Steve reported on the SEC's upcoming implementation of robo-umps in college baseball.
Hot Mic pays tribute to a true titan of the sidelines and a beloved figure in the NFL community: Dave McGinnis. Known affectionately as "Coach Mac," he wasn't just a defensive mastermind; he was the heartbeat of every locker room he entered. With the draft board heating up, Matt Simms joins the show to dive deep into the film to find the signal-callers the mainstream media might be overlooking. Plus, MLB legend and 2x World Series Champion Johnny Damon discusses the seismic shifts happening across the league with the Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS)—better known as "Robo-Umps." And with the league eyeing new markets, Johnny weighs in on which cities are truly ready for a franchise and how adding more teams might impact the talent pool and the grind of a 162-game season.
