Summary
As people complain on social media about the Dodgers “buying” back-to-back World Series titles, Colin Cowherd shares a survey from The Athletic painting a much different picture of Major League Baseball and how its popularity continues to grow despite the dominance of LA.
He believes the Lakers have a serious problem brewing between Luka Doncic and head coach JJ Redick.
Nick Wright from First Things First joins the show telling Colin why he buys the Knicks as a serious championship contender and why he’s not sold on Fernando Mendoza as franchise changing QB.
