On deck, our producers Matt and Yoni bring this episode's Fan Trivia question (7:26) before a mid-season update for the NBA.

Please help us welcome Ari Goldberg, sports insider, to discuss and testify about his experience at the NBA All-Star game (14:24). Have you heard of the World Eskimo and Indian Olympics?

What about Shoeless Joe? The Steroid era? On a lighter note, we look into some gambling options for the coming MLB season and a quick thought on the XFL so far with LA$TIEF. Rounding the bases to home, we bring the Fan Trivia answer (41:18) and in the spirit of Mike D'antoni's famous Phoenix Suns' offense, Matt rapid fires "7 Questions or Less" asking various questions ranging from "Should round 1 of the NBA return to a 5-game series?" to "Better tough guy last name: Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder?" (43:11). We end off with the "Buzzer Beater" taking a moment to talk to team management about showing respect through appropriate beginning-of-the-season gifts for season ticket holders (47:13).
