The World Cup begins today and the guys are excited for the soccer action. Will the New York Knicks finish off the San Antonio Spurs tomorrow to win the NBA Finals? Does Texas Tech continue to embarrass themselves with how they’re handling the Brendan Sorsby situation? Will the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get a new deal done with quarterback Baker Mayfield, or could he eventually find himself playing elsewhere? Who are the dark horse candidates to be NFL MVP this season? How will the Spurs play tomorrow after blowing the biggest lead in NBA Finals history? Is there anything the NFL can learn from the popularity of the NBA Playoffs? What soccer knowledge can Bleck and Abdalla impart upon casuals who will watch the World Cup? Are the Golden State Warriors the future home of Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James? What questions does a non-soccer fan have for two die-hard soccer fans? The Philadelphia Eagles seem excited for life without receiver A.J. Brown.
