In sports like basketball and football, the annual All-Star Game and Pro Bowl, respectively, are filled with low-effort attempts at defense, with flashiness the main item on the agenda. In the Major Leagues, there's TOO much effort, which makes the All-Star Game feel a bit like every other contest of the 162-game season.
Ancillary events can be pretty dumb, too. Julio Rodriguez hit 41 home runs in the first round and didn't end up winning because he hit too many home runs in the first round. Aaron Gordon was a phenomenal dunker in the 2016 Slam Dunk Contest and in subsequent years and still has not won a Dunk Contest.
Plus, it's about time for Sean's fantasy football league to start up again. Has he thought enough about his keepers for the upcoming season? He's also got a ringing endorsement for the show Quarterback, which features Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, and Marcus Mariota. All of whom happen to be quarterbacks — you like that!
We also discuss some silly elements of classic video games and Joey shares a devastating story about his time hosting karaoke.
