The second half covers controversial trades like Memphis moving Desmond Bane, Minnesota's financial risk on Naz Reid, and the Pelicans' lack of direction.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Western Conference contenders, goaltending, the Jays' run, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which new Oiler the fellas are most excited to watch during the 2025-26 season. From Andrew Mangiapane signing as a free agent to Matt Savoie and Isaac Howard being two blue-chip prospects with plenty of upside, the guys were bullish on some of the new guys being able to contribute in a meaningful way. Of course, we are in the middle of Kool-Aid szn, so expecting anything less from the crew would be unwise at this stage of the summer.Changing gears, we looked at some of the extension rumours that came out last week. Bob Stauffer hinted on his show that there could be a run of contract extensions happening before the end of the month, and that hope for news had the fanbase buzzing. Sticking with contract extensions, we then looked at a report from Frank Seravalli where he guesses what Connor McDavid's extension will look like for value and term.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With just over two months left until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about an array of topics that were Oilers-related or not at all, but that's what happens in August.

Mort & Bry share their thoughts on select teams, this time from the Western Conference.Odds via FanDuel Sportsbookhttps://www.fanduel.com/research/nba

For the Glory KC is back with the 141st episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City are slipping. Both in results and down the table. Their latest loss, a 3-0 shelling at the hands of the Vancouver Whitecaps, leaves them back in 13th place in the Western Conference and six points out of the final playoff spot with just 10 games to go.In fact, the team has won just three times in their last 13 attempts. The team is 3-5-5 in that stretch having picked up just one point in the last three games. Sheena and I try to figure out what is wrong. The team has started slow and the midgame adjustments from Kerry Zavagnin are strong, but is he making bad starting lineup choices? (More Jake Davis please! And perhaps a Santi Munoz start?)Maybe it's finally time for a different starting formation since the team is quick to switch to a back three in games, but they have yet to start a game in one. Or is it all an illusion and they just look good in the second half because of game state? When you are chasing the game and throwing numbers forward, of course you are going to create more chances, and your opponent is going to sit back a bit.We also discuss the transfer window, which opened this past week. Sporting KC made a trade for a third open international roster spot which may mean they are going to be busy. We look at what positions they should target.The KC Current made a bunch of news despite not playing any official games. They filmed some of Ted Lasso season four at CPKC Stadium this past week. Jason Sudeikis and friends have been all over KC, including Swope Park, the Plaza, maybe your neighborhood and this week they'll be at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.In actual soccer news, the KC Current played a scrimmage in very poor weather against Chris and Angie Long's other team, HB Koge, and won 5-1. The team also officially announced their 2,000-seat stadium in Riverside, MO, where KC Current II, the Academy and other regional events will be played. It includes an additional performance center and four more fields (bringing the total to 12).In the Digital Crawl, go deeper than usual on a few more topics, including:Messi update returns (he got suspended!)MLS is inching towards a Fall to Spring scheduleNouhou gets suspended an extra game after his antics in KCAmerican Outlaw tickets discountedNWSL Expansion updateBenny Feilhaber updateHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC get blown out in Vancouver - 6:18An SKC Trade and potential roster moves - 28:12KC Current and Ted Lasso news - 42:39Digital Crawl - 56:34Upcoming GamesSKC II at Whitecaps 2, Thursday, July 31st at 8:00PM CDTKC Current at Racing Louisville, Friday, August 1st at 7:00PMSKC II vs. Austin FC II, Sunday, August 3rd at 12:00PMNo Sporting KC, they have a break for Leagues CupAs a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Western Conference contenders, goaltending, the Jays' run, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Western Conference contenders and whether any of the teams with Stanley Cup dreams have gotten better. Outside of maybe the Vegas Golden Knights, who locked in Mitch Marner as their big free agent play, there aren't many other clubs you could say legitimately got better. Maybe that's the boys drinking the July Kool-Aid, but everyone on the podcast still feels bullish on Edmonton's chances to get through the west.Next, we kicked off the news segment of the podcast with a quick recap of the limited news items that had occurred over the last week and speculated on whether we would receive any new updates over the next handful of days or weeks. With nothing happening, we looked at some quotes from Corey Perry about leaving Edmonton, Warren Foegele's wedding, and ran through a few quotes from Stan Bowman about the goaltending. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With just over two months left until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about why we should feel confident heading into this next season and how the Oilers are a much different hockey team this time around.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and 2026 FIFA World Cup chat. The Whitecaps ended a tough five-game road stretch with a fairly decent record of two wins, one draw, and two defeats.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 19, 2025 is: devise • dih-VYZE • verb To devise is to invent or plan something that is difficult or complicated in some way. // The siblings devised a plan to clean the house from top to bottom with hopes of getting their parents to let them go to the concert. See the entry > Examples: “The Timberwolves surprisingly advanced to the Western Conference finals last year before losing to the Mavericks. After a troublesome season, Minnesota returned before being thumped by the top-seeded Thunder. The series wasn't really close, and the Timberwolves ... will have to devise a way to compete in the Western Conference with the Lakers, Nuggets, Clippers, Spurs, Mavericks, and Warriors all chasing them.” — Gary Washburn, The Boston Globe, 1 June 2025 Did you know? There's something inventive about devise, a word that stems from Latin dividere, meaning “to divide.” By the time devise was being used in English, its Anglo-French forebear deviser had accumulated an array of senses, including “divide,” “distribute,” “arrange,” “order,” “plan,” “invent,” and “assign by will.” English adopted some of these and added new senses, such as “imagine” and “guess,” that have fallen out of use over time. Today devise is most commonly used as a synonym of invent or plot in situations where the objective is difficult or complicated. Note that devise is often confused with another dividere (and deviser) descendent: device refers to a technique, method, tool, or small machine or gadget. One way to help keep their spellings straight is to remember that ice, usually a noun, is found at the end of the noun device, not the verb devise.
