Summary

Today on The Stretch we start by discussing Bears training camp and how you can’t get tickets anymore (1:08). Then we get into how we just love watching WSD exist (8:07) and how Moneyball ruined baseball (10:52). WSD doesn’t agree with Cubs fans that think the sky is falling (13:18) and he couldn’t be prouder that his White Sox swept the Pirates (23:57). Next we get into the NBA Summer League and the Bulls new signing, standing at 5’8 (25:14). Then we talk about the WNBA new upcoming CBA (27:10) and how the MLS is a pyramid scheme (29:30). We discuss how Steven Cheah will make anyone hate anything, specifically the Chicago Sky (39:54) and talk about the upcoming Baldstool reunion (44:55). Big Cat addresses Dave about how he schooled him in the home run derby (48:29). We close things out by discussing the Rob Ford doc, our weird internet obsessions (52:19) and a shoutout to Dustin Poirier (55:43).

You know, I can't stand Cubs fans, but if we're going to commiserate over one thing and one thing only had, I think it'd be Miller Light. I think it'd be Miller Light. How magnanimous of him. Yeah, right? Exactly. Yeah. Hit that spot in the right field. Great Miller Light porch over there.

1:13.4

things to get to, not a whole lot, but the Bears do report to camp tomorrow. The Cubs are now tied in

1:17.9

first place. Let's start with the Bears. Big news, Luther Burden, signed a fully guaranteed

1:24.5

contract, first of its kind kind a little under 11 million

1:28.4

dollars um good i'm glad it doesn't have to carry on into camp so that's yeah i mean i i didn't

1:35.9

this just is a new thing that we do now right just signing second round picks yeah but he was the last

1:41.4

one to sign and yeah in the whole class. I know that.

1:45.3

It is good.

1:46.4

I was thinking about it.

1:47.7

Is he like one of the biggest boomer bust Bears draft picks in a while?

1:52.8

He might be.

1:54.0

And it obviously hasn't played yet, but I feel like he could be incredible.

1:57.9

And there's also potentially it could just not work at all.

2:50.9

I don't know. Biggest since Justin Fields. Yeah. I always go back to Anthony Miller for him. Dude, Anthony, have you ever watched like Anthony Miller's like Memphis highlights? He was. He was awesome. I remember watching him like that's one of the best route runners I've ever seen. The only thing I'd say with Justin Fields is like you don't draft Justin Fields being like he might bust. I feel like Luther Burden, like it's very, because he had such a weird career. Yeah. Not weird, but he was so exceptional, whatever it was two years ago. Last year was kind of not as not as good. So it's there. The mock drafts before last year. Correct. Had him as a top 10. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. So I don't know. He's awesome. Yeah. Very skilled. Yeah. Very skilled. But sometimes that always doesn't matter. So. Yeah. We'll see. Yeah. It would be, he needs to be good. Yeah, for sure. Because otherwise we're pretty thin. Yeah, but I don't know. And that's not, I'm not saying he's going to be a bused because Anthony Miller busted out, but he is always who I kind of, you know, recall. I still think Anthony Miller might have something. No. I don't know what he's doing right now. Anthony Miller fucking sucked. Where do you go? Pittsburgh after us?

3:08.4
