If you haven't done some fantasy football research yet, it's time to get started. Dave talks to Pro FB Focus' Dan Clasgens to get his thoughts on the top picks, how to deal with injuries and where to draft Dave's fave Niners QB Jimmy G.
Today's sports business segment with Rick Horrow talks about the advent of legalized gambling, how much money the PGA Championship will bring St. Louis and why the A's can't get a new stadium.
The Diamondbacks maintain a half-game over the Dodgers in the NL West and Zack Godley's 12 wins have had a big part in that. The fourth-year pro's having his best season in the bigs and (very politely) talked to Dave about it on today's show.
Urban Meyer is the biggest story in sports this week and it's because of Brett McMurphy who broke it. Brett joined Dave and dropped another bombshell by saying there was no situation in which Meyer will be able to save his job.
Arkansas has uncharacteristically fallen off in recent years, but they're hoping for a rejuvination with the hire of former SMU coach Chad Morris, who tells Dave that he'll be bringing an up tempo style of play to Fayetteville.
Last night's Home Run Derby was one of the best we've ever seen, and it has a lot to do with the new rules the league has applied to it. Former big leaguer Doug Glanville covers the Cubs these days and saw Chicago's Kyle Schwarber lose to hometown hero Bryce Harper in a thriller.
There are few more recognizable voices in the world of soccer than BeIn's Ray Hudson, who hopped on with Dave to review the World Cup Final, whether the referee got it right on two crucial calls and if Croatia was actually the more deserving side.
Derek Rae is no stranger to World Cups, having been behind the mic for eight of them now in his esteemed career. In this Cup, he's called the England/Sweden, England/Colombia and Russia/Spain games to name just a few. He joined Dave to preview Sunday's final and look back on the best moments of this year's tourney.
Alabama hasn't officially named their starting QB as of yet, but the choice they have to make could shape the program for several years. Will they choose wisely? Dave asks Chris Landry of LandryFootball.com about that, Jim Harbaugh's make or break year at Michigan and what'll end up happening in the LeSean McCoy saga?
Pudge Rodriguez is a newly minted Hall of Famer, inducted last year in Cooperstown, and for good reason. He's quite possibly the greatest catcher the game's ever seen. But he was playing golf when Dave caught up with him today, and the two got to talk about Pudge's son having just been called up to the bigs earlier this season.
