b'The final week of the month has arrived and so has the latest edition as there are some interesting storylines percolating in the sports world. On deck:

(5:11) The pennant races in baseball may not have a lot of drama heading into September as I recap the division and wild card chase to date. The Yankees look to get out of a six week malaise with a trip to Oakland and Anaheim upcoming as they\'ve won three in a row. The Mets have the Braves breathing down their neck in the only race worth noting. Should there be concern if Atlanta overtakes the NL East at some point? Why did the Mets skip Jacob deGrom\'s start vs. the Yankees. I\'ll also discuss the apology by Fernando Tatis Jr. as he\'s in the middle of an 80 game suspension. And what about the 2023 schedule? Based on what I\'ve seen, yours truly isn\'t a fan of it. I\'ll explain why.

(28:41) We\'re two weeks away from the start of a new NFL season. I\'m sure many of you are psyched and pumped up for your Sundays being occupied with wall to wall football. What I wasn\'t psyched about was UFC chairman, Dana White, breaking a story on how Tom Brady was close to signing with the Las Vegas Raiders back in the 2020 offseason. Why bring this up now? Is this even a story? I\'ll also chime in on some news throughout the league (Baker Mayfield starting in Carolina), as well as, remembering Len Dawson. The Chiefs QB going back to the 1960\'s, who died at the age of 87.

(35:19) Kevin Durant agrees to move forward with the Nets as they try to come out from the rubble of his trade request earlier this summer. But there\'s one dynamic that needs to be addressed, in my opinion, if this upcoming season were to be one that can lead to a championship. What were the Lakers thinking acquiring Patrick Beverley? Did they not know about the history between he and Russell Westbrook? This has the makings of a disaster!

(45:30) I\'m not too happy with the direction that the New York Islanders have taken this offseason. It was capped off by the team, who was rumored to sign former Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri, instead signs a long term deal with the Calgary Flames. What is going on with GM Lou Lamoriello as he continues to sit on his hands and do nothing to improve this team, who didn\'t make the playoffs this past season.
