b'As the sports world continues to slog through the dog days of August, there are some things to discuss that\'ll get you caught up on all that\'s happening. On deck:

(3:41) What has happened to the New York Yankees? After their torrid start, where people had compared them to the 1998 team, they have grossly underachieved over the past two months. I\'ll take a look into my crystal ball to see if there is any light at the end of the tunnel or was this all an aberration? Meanwhile, the Mets scratched and clawed in another big time comeback in Philadelphia as they extend their lead in the NL East to four games. The Dodgers welcome Dustin May to their pitching rotation as he returns from Tommy John surgery. I\'ll review the pennant races in both leagues. The Cardinals stretching their division lead, including Albert Pujols\'s quest for 700 career home runs.

(27:29) Thankfully, the Deshaun Watson saga regarding his suspension has closure. Eleven games and a five million dollar fine. Contradicting comments and Jimmy Garoppolo rumors aside, his first game back in a uniform will be against his old team in Houston later this year. Was it set up to be this way? Also, the Buccaneers lose a key offensive lineman for the season. Bears LB Roquan Smith ends his hold-in as he\'ll play out his rookie contract in Chicago. And did the Giants dodge a missile as first round pick, Kayvon Thibodeaux went down with a knee injury during their preseason game with the Bengals?

(34:14) There was a shocker in MMA on Saturday night as Leon Edwards KO\'d Kamaru Usman in the closing seconds of their match. I made a comparison to an old boxing match many moons ago that the fans can relate to. Is Edwards now a guy to be reckoned with? Or will this be a one-hit wonder?
