Thursday, July 16, 2026 | 49:59

Hour 2 kicks off with USA Today MLB columnist Bob Nightengale joining the guys to discuss which teams have a legitimate chance to make a pennant run in the second half of the season. They also break down the Arizona Diamondbacks, the surprising Chicago White Sox, and the biggest storylines from around Major League Baseball. Then the guys shift to the Arizona Cardinals and discuss the biggest storylines coming out of training camp, including Marvin Harrison Jr.'s development, the offensive line, whether Jacoby Brissett or Gardner Minshew can get the offense rolling, the impact rookie Jeremiyah Love could have, Trey McBride's chances to repeat as one of the NFL's top tight ends, whether the defense can consistently generate pressure, the young cornerbacks, and how Mike LaFleur's offense is progressing. At 2:30, Hall of Fame broadcaster Ted Robinson joins the show to discuss calling his 15th Olympic Games and seventh Winter Olympics, the return of Pac-12 football on USA Network, the state of college football, the new five-year eligibility rule, the future of the salary cap in college athletics, and whether the College Football Playoff should expand to 12, 16, or even 24 teams. The hour closes with Peaks Picks, where a Twin Peaks server goes head-to-head with a guest caller making picks on the weekend's biggest games for a chance to win prizes.
