Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘consequences’ as in the NHL as in NIL as in Canada as in change. Gavin McKenna is the lock of all locks to be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. And he’s going to college. A top Canadian JR player headed to the US is unheard of. But NIL has changed the world of hockey forever. (11:00) We have another investigation into an MLB agent. Another case of an agent taking advantage of a foreign player. It’s sad. Someone had asked me a question about MLB owners and the MLBPA so let me answer that. (25:45) We have an F1 update! Christian Horner has been fired by Red Bull. Wow. (33:00) Review: Dept. Q. (36:30) Draymond Green sounded off on the new CBA. He said free agency is dead. He said players aren’t educated on business. Hmm. (44:45) The Big Beautiful Bill is already upsetting Congress. Here we go. We’ve got people in Congress writing up bills to change the gambling law in the bill. Woof. (49:00) NPPOD.
