Riding through the sports country with plenty of destinations to visit as I conclude a crazy week with whatever’s happening throughout the landscape. On deck: (2:51) A bit of housekeeping to get into. If you’re looking for some NFL talk or a preview of the 2024 season, you’ll have to go to the previous podcast as I released that just hours ago. I have to shout out my brother Justin as he celebrates a birthday today. Of course, please drink OLIPOP soda and see promo above. (5:54) It seems as if the MLB playoff landscape is coming down to two races, both involving the New York teams. The Yankees have been neck and neck with the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East all summer long. With their recent struggles, can they capture the division flag? As for the Mets, they’re riding a seven game winning streak, just a half game behind the final wild card spot in the NL. Can they keep pace with the Atlanta Braves, with whom they’re battling for the #6 seed? I’ll get into how the Royals have sputtered but are in good shape of securing a wild card spot. Fernando Tatis’s return to the Padres lineup as they’ll need his presence the rest of the way. We’re just three and a half weeks away from the conclusion of the regular season. (24:26) Florida St. put up an embarrassing performance on Monday night after losing in Dublin, Ireland to start 0-2. Do they still have a shot to secure a playoff spot after their rough start? It’s a weak college football schedule this weekend as the highlight is #3 Texas in #10 Michigan at high noon on Saturday. (31:40) There’s been a pleasant surprise at the US Open this week. You have three US players (Taylor Fritz, Francis Tiafoe and Jessica Pegula) still alive searching for their first ever Grand Slam championship. I’ll address their runs to the semifinals. Do they have a shot to win the whole thing? (38:50) If I asked you, who is the highest paid player in the NHL as of this moment, you’d probably say Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers. Well, you’d be half right. His teammate, Leon Draisaitl just inked an eight year deal worth $14M a year. What do you think the three time MVP and face of the league would get if this was his walk year?
