40 year anniversary of Frank Viola and Ron Darling both pitching 11 shutout innings and Darling taking a no hitter into the 12th inning.  NCAA baseball playoff game.  VIola's St. John's team but Darling's Yale team 1-0 in 12 innings.  
Are we shocked that Tim Tebow leads NFL jersey sales this morning?  Now he just has to make the  team.
So we get Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder for a third time this summer.  Anthony Joshua isn't happy.

Can Maple Leafs Captain John Tavares ride a bicycle? John joins us for part two of his podcast.

John also talks about his multi-sport days, playing Jr. A Lacrosse while also being a member of the Oshawa Generals. Finally, John takes part in our 15 Hands of a Mustang Trivia challenge. Producer Peers left no stone unturned to get some little known information about John for the segment.  

Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares joins the podcast and it turns out that he is an even better person than he is a hockey player!!

We gain some insight into how John became the first player granted exceptional player status by the Ontario Hockey League, and what it was like to be named captain of the most recognized and popular hockey team in Canada, the Toronto Maple Leafs. John gets placed on the hot seat when Producer Peers questions him about who is the better brother-in-law, Owen or Tanner.

The Washington Capitals are the Stanley Cup champions! It's was a glorious final, one for the record books, and one for the ages. We take care of some league news at the start, specifically around the Islanders with Lou cleaning house and the Blackhawks future when it comes to Crawford. Maybe they get their darling goalie back from Carolina? We also jump into Game 3, 4, and 5 of the Final.

This entire Cup run can be experienced just from the emotions of Ovechkin alone. It's a glorious sight to behold as Ovi has given the Cup the best party we've seen in a long time. He may not be sober until next season at this rate. Finally, we discuss the upcoming season and reveal the changes we have planned during the offseason to the show! It's been a great season and we're glad to have everyone on board!
