Summary

Let me revisit something I talked about in the first hour. (12:00) Adam Silver had to respond to so many things happening right now in the NBA and the WNBA. Aspiration. The WNBA CBA negotiations. Kawhi Leonard. Cathy Engelbert. The All-Star Game. (24:00) Conor McDavid re-signed with the Edmonton Oilers. And he shocked everyone by taking far less money to do so. He was set to be a free agent after next season, but signed a 2-year extension for $25 million. Not per year. Total! (34:00) LeBron James is having another Decision. Nice. Can’t wait. Is it an ad deal? (40:00) We have another lawsuit in Cleveland. That’s what the new Browns stadium has become. (48:00) UEFA is mad. But not mad enough that it stopped La Liga teams from playing in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
