On tonight’s episode:

Messi Mania hit Philly (well, Chester) and the Union laid an egg tonight losing 4-1 at Subaru Park. Messi did bring out the media and security for what was the biggest game in Subaru Park and Philadelphia Union history.

Blindsided by a fake story? Michael Oher is suing his adopted parents or conservators for money he never received from “The Blind Side” movie. Things just don’t look right to Joe, and though Oher may have some points here, it seems like a scammer just trying to scam another scammer. Definitely worth seeing what happens here.

Joe liked what he saw from the Eagles when he watched the game on Tuesday morning. Yes, it’s the first preseason game, but you can see how well coached the team is, especially with who is projected to make the team as of right now.

Wander Franco may have a second underage relationship that happened before the story that led to him onto the restricted list. If these stories are true, it’s very disgusting and deserves whatever he gets. But like Joe says, where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

James Harden called Daryl Morey a liar and won’t play for his teams ever again. Here’s the thing, Harden opted in because he knew he wasn’t getting $35 million. He thought he got traded, and now he’s throwing a tantrum. Welcome to this year’s drama!

Sage Steele announced she’s leaving ESPN after 16 years to “exercise her first amendment rights”. She was a disappointment at ESPN and flamed out after being a star at Comcast SportsNet. Know your employer’s rules before you claim your first amendment rights. There are rules for everything.

If Maury Povich was a judge, he would have told Angel Hernandez that he’s NOT a good umpire, because Hernandez had his latest attempt of a lawsuit against MLB dismissed in court on Tuesday. He only has a job because of two reasons: because he sued MLB, and because his job is unionized. Other than that, he would have been gone years ago.
