b'If you love the summer heat, then you\\u2019ll get a kick out of me delivering some sports heat in your earbuds as Episode 144 is chock full of nuggets. On deck:

(2:28) Are we closer or further from sports returning in the climate of COVID-19? My commentary on that, as well as\\u2026

(9:04) Thoughts as the MLB season commences in ten days, how the Mets are shaping up, will this years World Series champion count as legitimate? Also, Aroldis Chapman\\u2019s coronavirus case and what it does to the Yankee bullpen? The Braves won\\u2019t change their name, but the Tomahawk Chop?

(25:08) The Redskins will officially change their moniker. What should they re-name themselves? Are the owners and players at odds over some terms on the return of another season? There are health issues abound with two players making some strong comments about the climate the country is currently in. What does this mean as training camp is just a few weeks away? I\\u2019ll get into Patrick Mahomes\\u2019s record breaking deal? Are the Chiefs going to be hamstrung by this deal? And the player jersey swap ban is as comical as it gets.

(33:48) The Big 10 & PAC-12 are only playing conference games in the fall. How does this affect college football on a whole? Will the other major conferences follow suit?

(37:56) Early concerns and stories from the NBA bubble down in Orlando, including a major injury to a contending team out West. And what to make of the players using slogans on the back of their jerseys? My complete take on that.

(43:35) The NHL have renewed their CBA and the first player opt-out as they\\u2019re just a few weeks from resuming their quest for the Cup.

(49:02) An MMA recap of Fight Island on Saturday night. Why Kamaru Usman\\u2019s victory wasn\\u2019t as easy as many thought it would be?

(53:05) Plus, my Hero and Zero of the Week.
