Ep.100 | The Star Power PROBLEM: Are Athlete RIVALRIES EXTINCT?!

The MLB Home Run Derby lineup is locked — but where’s the firepower? Back in the early 2000s, Sosa, McGwire, Giambi brought legends. Today? The stars are MIA. Why are pro leagues ( NFL, MLB, NBA)  okay with big names skipping showcase events, and what does that mean for fan culture?

Wimbledon. Sinner just beat Alcaraz — is this the greatest rivalry in sports today? Wimbledon Finals ticket prices were through the roof, Novak's legacy hangs in the balance, and tennis culture still screams luxury. We dig into how Wimbledon uses killer marketing, and whether the event is more about champagne and pageantry than pure play.

Then: The NFL just saw a second-round rookie land a fully guaranteed deal — precedent or anomaly? The Open on the horizon. Robot sports in 2055?

This is sports talk unplugged — raw, fun, and unfiltered.
