## Resource

Keith Murphy & Andy Fales break down the Little League sign-stealing controversy involving Davenport Northwest, which advanced to the Little League World Series despite an Iowa player being accused of relaying signs from second base. They discuss the difference between Little League and Major League Baseball rules, whether the incident was simply gamesmanship or crossed the line, and whether coaches should be held responsible. They also cover ESPN's Pat McAfee saturation, Stephen A. Smith, the changing sports-media landscape, Penn State's alleged fraternity cocaine-trafficking case, Iowa State football's unprecedented roster turnover, the Iowa State Fair, Jason Parkin's Parkinson's diagnosis, Columbia House shutting down, the most annoying movie coworkers with Mr. Movie, new movie recommendations, and MORE!
