b'Another sports season ends, but the sports world still has quite a bit to discuss as I\'ll get into the latest and greatest of what\'s happening. On deck:

(4:04) The Sports Dead Zone Pt. 2 is upon us. Now that the fall and winter sports have concluded, I\'ll zero in on what the next couple of months will look like in the sports landscape as we get you through the summer to the football season in early September.

(7:14) The Colorado Avalanche has exorcised some playoff demons by winning the Stanley Cup Finals dethroning the two time defending champion, Tampa Bay Lightning. With their core of Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Cale Makar, do the Avalanche have what it takes to build a championship dynasty over the next few years? What about the Lightning? Can they get back to the Cup at this time next year? I\'ll answer those questions and give a review on the Stanley Cup Playoffs on a whole as we say goodbye to hockey until the fall.

(21:35) The NBA Draft wasn\'t much to write home about. Although I like what both Orlando did (selecting Paolo Banchero and what direction they\'re heading with a group of good young players) and Detroit (picking Jaden Ivey and trading for Jalen Duren in the first round). My biggest concern, or in this case GRIPE, is what the Knicks aren\'t doing and it falls at the feet of their front office! This is a commentary that you won\'t want to miss as I dissect the silence and ineptitude of team president, Leon Rose and VP, William Wesley.

(39:16) The Houston Astros have an interesting stretch to where they\'re playing both the Mets and Yankees over the course of ten days. After six games, with three more to go this week, how did they stock up to the best in both the National and American League? I\'ll get into the heroics of Aaron Judge this season and what his potential free agent contract could look like for the Yankees? The return of Freddie Freeman to Atlanta, the injury suffered by Bryce Harper who is out indefinitely with a broken thumb. The Guardians lose grip of the AL Central. The Red Sox rise in the AL and much more as baseball will be front and center as we get deeper into the summer.

(51:40) Wimbledon kicks off the third Grand Slam of the calendar this year today. I\'ll preview both the men\'s and women\'s side. Will we see another Novak Djokovic-Rafael Nadal matchup for the title? What can we expect from Serena Williams as we\'ll see her on the court at a major tournament for the first time in quite a while?

(56:03) NFL Training Camps are less than a month away. Is yours truly ready for some football? I\'ll get into that and another Manning (i.e. Peyton & Eli\'s nephew, Arch) makes his announcement as to what university he\'ll suit up for in the fall of 2023.

(59:47) My Hero and Zero of the Week is on hiatus. I\'ll explain.
