Mike Gill takes the lead as he poses a question to the audience regarding their preference between Tyrese Maxey and Tyrese Haliburton before the start of the 2024-2025 NBA season. He speculates that most 76ers fans would favor Maxey, while also reflecting on the previous season, which he describes as the worst in the franchise's history.  In a subsequent segment, Jeff Kerr joins the discussion to delve into the Eagles' OTA sessions, highlighting comments made by Vic Fangio during a recent media interview. The conversation touches on when fans could expect the return of Jihaad Campbell and Nakobe Dean, both of whom are sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, we explore whether the Eagles have successfully filled any gaps left by departing players with immediate starters.

The Phillies faced a challenging series against the Brewers, resulting in a sweep that highlighted their struggles. However, it is important to recognize that the Brewers are among the elite teams in Major League Baseball. Additionally, the absence of Bryce Harper during this series created an uneven playing field. Despite the loss, there has been an excessive reaction from fans and analysts alike, prompting Brendan to address these concerns. He raises the critical question of who can enhance their defensive performance, especially in light of the Eagles losing several key players. Brendan suggests potential candidates who have the capability to elevate their game and fill the gaps left by those departures.
