EPISODE 82: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: OK maybe I am. (1:58) Trump has about as bad a day as you can have in court and not be Al Pacino in the movie "And Justice For All." But first, I'm worried about The Washington Post profile of new Trump Special Counsel Jack Smith and my haunting fear he is there to run out the clock on behalf of Merrick Garland. A former colleague is quoted as saying "It was understood that the fastest way for a case to die was to give it to (Jack Smith's) Public Integrity Section." (3:00) Happily, though the Post gave not the slightest hint of it, the guy who said that is not just a revenge-obsessed right wing nut job but the worst kind: one who thinks he's an impartial analyst. (6:07) So we can look instead at Trump's FIVE legal setbacks in one day: on the tax case at the Supreme Court (and what Dems can do with the taxes with only 41 days until the GOP takes the house); at the hearing to dismiss the Special Master from the Nuclear Documents Kleptomania case; at Lindsey Graham's Grand Jury appearance in Georgia; at the efforts to revitalize Manhattan's Stormy Daniels hush money case; and at the impending SECOND lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll. No comment from Trump Attorney Lionel Hutz. B-Block (12:40) EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Max in North Carolina (13:40) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Yes, you didn't imagine it. The 2nd Woman produced a tape of Herschel Walker phoning her and saying "this is your stud farm calling, you big sex puppy you," and then he said something much dumber live on Fox News. Herschel's Erection Election plus the AP taking its "Russian missiles in Poland" screw-up and making it much worse and Bolsonaro contesting after all (19:29) IN SPORTS: Lionel Messi's Employers upset Lionel Messi's Team at the World Cup: It's A Messi Situation, plus the Rob Thomson surprise, and what a fan did to Pete Rozelle the day he wouldn't cancel the NFL schedule even after the JFK Assassination (23:14) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Bothsidesist Ashley Parker and GOP Talking Point Merchant Katherine Herridge of CBS can't compete with producer Stew Peters whose movie about supposed deaths after Covid vaccinations "DIED SUDDENLY" actually shows people who a) didn't get vaccinated b) didn't die and c) didn't do anything suddenly. C-BLOCK (28:44) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It is ESPN's most beloved outtake and since it was about the World Cup, I present it now in annotated form. Ladies and gentlemen: It's the famous "SOCCER BREAKDOWN.":See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After beating India 3-2, are Australia peaking in time for the men's World Cup? It's a big week for Irish cricket with their first overseas Test match and the launch of a new European Twenty20 league. And meet the fireman from Western Australia whose new invention promises to revolutionise backyard cricket.
Crown Jewel is in the rear-view mirror. The whole thing was...WEIRD...but was it a good show? We discussed that in Segment 1 of this week's show, breaking down DX/Brothers of Destruction in particular. Are we done now? Is there any other story that needs to be told? Will it be Shawn Michaels/Undertaker at WrestleMania? Would Taker do something else? Also is it a problem that Shane McMahon won the World Cup? It sure as hell shouldn't be. So where do they go from there? And how far should WWE and UFC go with the Daniel Cormier/Brock Lesnar stuff? (The show was taped before reports that Lesnar agreed to a new WWE deal.) In Segment 2 (36:19), we continued to discuss the fallout from the week (we need to decide who had the best match on RAW of course). Are we still in line for Miz/Daniel Bryan at Mania? Will it be for the title? Did they handle the Authors of Pain title win the right way? Was WWE right to spoil their own title change? What's the RAW plan for the WrestleMania main event now? And in Segment 3 (1:05:54), we tell you about a big weekend coming up locally for MCW and AJ updates us on his own wrestling path. Then (because we had a guest fall through this week), we decided instead to bring back The Top Five! You guys might not know that there's a very particular WWE anniversary this week. You also might not know that there was more to the story. So our Top Five this week-the Top Five times there was more to a story that WWE never told us.
The crew is back together (on Skype) just in time for the All Star break. We discuss the selections for the All Star game, the potential for a ridiculously long season this year, and we round-out the show with some news updates...including the World Cup (It's coming home?) If you haven’t already, subscribe to the…… Continue reading GSKBO S2E15 – All Star

On this episode of ESPN Soccer Today: We spend some time talking about goalkeepers, who probably don't get enough love on this show. Gigi Buffon bids farewell to Juventus, an incredible ironman streak is broken in MLS, and the best GKs in Russia for the World Cup this summer. Who would have been on the roster if the USMNT had qualified for this summer's World Cup? It's a tough question to answer and everyone has different opinions. Do you want Carter-Vickers or Miazga? Tyler Adams or Weston McKennie? Find out who we chose. Chelsea won the FA Cup, leaving Jose Mourinho and Manchester United without a trophy this season. We take a look at the season for these two Premier League giants and wonder why Conte is on his way out while Mourinho seems to get a pass?
This week we talk Bob Bradley's hire at Swansea and what it means for US soccer, look back at match day 7 around the EPL, and a 48 team World Cup?? It could happen, would you be in favor of it?
We ask what lessons can Africa learn from the 2014 World Cup? It was the first time two African teams have progressed from the Group stages but what is necessary for teams to progress further? In particular what can African nations learn from the success of smaller nations at the World Cup such as Costa Rica and Algeria? And we find out about some of your favourite World Cup moments.
