World Cup Crazy

The World Cup is awesome, who knew? Cape Verde and Africa are showing out, France and Argentina look headed for a finals rematch, Messi is ageless, and the U.S. is actually fun to watch (and winning!). Other things: Giannis is now in Miami, along with Bam... other than that, who the hell knows who takes the court for the Heat this fall. The draft came and went with no real surprises (which is good news for TD's Pels). Oklahoma wins the CWS, and we recap an outstanding year of Alabama athletics and look forward to the next steps. There's also a little rasslin' talk to wrap things up, as we touch on Night of Champions and Forbidden Door.

The Summer of Sports

An outstanding NBA Finals, a crazy Stanley Cup Finals, the FIFA World Cup, the College World Series, NBA Draft, MLB All-Star Game... man, what a great summer for sports. We cover the first Knicks title in 53 years, an incredible start for the USMNT in the World Cup, a bad day for Alabama in Omaha, and a great sports schedule to liven up the summer.

Party Like It's 1999

Bama baseball is back in Omaha for the College World Series, for the first time since 1999. We talk about how big this is for the program, and how it caps an absolutely amazing year for Alabama athletics, how Tide fans need to celebrate the accomplishment despite the lack of titles, and how AD Greg Byrne deserves all the flowers for what he's done while in charge. Other things: a disappointing end to a great season for Bama softball, a fabulous weekend of Super Regionals, a raucous NBA Finals, a thrilling Stanley Cup Finals, the upcoming FIFA World Cup, and we actually side with the NCAA for once.
