Knicks record-breaking comeback in the NBA Finals & FIFA World Cup

In the Big Apple, the Knicks were playing the Spurs in the historic Madison Square Garden. These Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson, had just been defeated at home two days earlier in the first NBA finals game at MSG since 1999. Game 4 didn’t look promising; in fact, the Knicks were down by as many as 29 points before mounting a comeback of the ages. They chipped away at the lead until it was no more than a point. With little time on the clock, Brunson hoisted a deep 3-pointer that fell short, but OG Anunoby was there for the tip-in. The Knicks won 107-106 and completed the largest comeback in NBA finals history. The NBA and NHL finals are incredibly entertaining this year! We have seen many close finishes, clutch performances, and lots of drama. Once these series end, the World Cup is just getting started. It will be played in the USA, Canada, and Mexico beginning Thursday, June 11. USA kicks off against Paraguay in L.A. Friday night on FOX!

The Brendan Sorsby case & Four BYU kickoff times revealed

Brendan Sorsby and the Red Raiders are facing uncertainty at quarterback following his absence from the program due to a gambling addiction. There has been a lot of drama following this case because gambling is more accessible today and even encouraged and advertised. For Texas Tech, they will likely turn to Will Hammond as Sorsby’s replacement. It certainly gives other competitive Big 12 teams, such as BYU, hope for making the championship game and the playoffs. Four kickoff times were revealed for BYU Football. Two of their games ( Arizona, Colorado State) are being broadcast on national TV networks (FOX, CBS). The Cougars face Arizona at 1:30 MDT, rather than a traditional night game at Lavell Edwards Stadium. The NBA and NHL finals are nearly here! The French Open is taking place at Roland Garros in Paris. This episode gives you the latest insights into the sports world. #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008

NBA Lottery & March Madness expansion to 76 teams

The Washington Wizards won the rights to the #1 pick in the NBA Draft. AJ Dybantsa looks to be the top prospect, so he may find a home there. The Utah Jazz are right behind at #2 and would love to keep AJ in Utah. The lottery never disappoints with its drama. The Thunder and Knicks appear to be the best two teams in the league, so they may meet in the NBA finals. March Madness continued to expand, going from 68 teams to 76. I am not terribly enthusiastic about this because more teams will have to play play-in games. It’s going to deliver more money to the TV companies, and unfortunately, they are in control. At least more teams have a chance to make the field! In college football, coaches voted to expand to a 24-team playoff and remove conference championship games. I unpack the meaning of this and keep you updated in this episode! #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008

BYU in the NFL Draft & Utah Mammoth in the playoffs!

Utah is experiencing playoff hockey at its finest. On Friday night, 20,000 avid hockey fans crowded into the Delta Center in downtown Salt Lake City to watch Utah’s very first postseason hockey game. It was a riot. They scored four goals within the first 30 minutes and went on to win 4-2. They do it again tonight, looking to go up 3-1 in the series against Las Vegas. Two BYU Football players heard their names called in the 2026 NFL draft: Jack Kelly to the Giants, and Carsen Ryan to the Browns. 6 other players signed as undrafted free agents, and 2 were invited to minicamps. They represented our football program well in Pittsburgh (where the draft was held). Listen to this episode for the latest insights into the sports world! #byu Venmo: @gabethebabe008

NHL & NBA Playoffs!

The Utah Mammoth are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in franchise history (granted, this is their second year), and they are facing the Vegas Golden Knights in round one. I talk about Logan Cooley and their exciting, ambitious team that I love watching. The NBA playoffs have begun, and to nobody’s surprise, the Thunder are once again the team to beat. BYU Men’s basketball is restocking and preparing for next year while the transfer portal is open. They signed Collin Chandler, Tyler Betsey, and Jake Wahlin! Rob Wright III announced he is returning — even after taking a recruiting trip to Kentucky. He chose the right shade of blue.
