NL MVP Christian Yelich joins the show to talk about his VERY unfortunate back injury that keeps him out of Monday's Home Run Derby, if he'll play Tuesday night, and a new bet for the All Star Game to make good on missing Monday's derby ( - ). Segments include the Mt Rushmore of easy thrills, connect the dots what the fuck was up with the Bleacher Report picture, way to stay relevant baseball the Reds wore awesome uniforms Sunday. And a special Monday Reading for our friend Jared Lorenzen
Recap
Big CatThe NBA has the best offseason in sports
The NBA by far and away has the best offseason in terms of the free agency period and players moving around and teams completely changing the course of their next four to five years in a matter of moments.
Big CatLakers Twitter had the worst two-week showing of any fan base in history
Lakers Twitter had the worst two-week showing of any fan base, basically attacking anyone who would say that Kawhi was going anywhere but the Lakers... It was a full-blown, why wouldn't he go to the Lakers? We're the greatest team of all time, even though we haven't made the playoffs in forever.
Big CatI want Russell Westbrook to be traded to Miami for the ultimate second-round exit team
I want him to go to Miami because Russell Westbrook and Jimmy Butler together in Miami, the all-time 44 win, never going to go past the second-round team. Like, they would be a dynasty of that.
Big CatKlay Thompson will return early from his ACL injury and the Warriors will be dominant again next spring
Klay Thompson, if there's ever a guy who's going to do the Adrian Peterson, how the fuck is he back so early from an injury? It's Klay Thompson. And don't be shocked if next spring, all of a sudden, it's Klay, Draymond, D'Angelo Russell, and Steph, and being like, how the fuck are they doing this again?

PFT CommenterRose Lavelle will be the next USWNT superstar for the next eight years
Here's my hot take about Rose [Lavelle]. She's going to be the next superstar for the women's national team for the next, like, eight years... I'm saying that she's the next Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe.
Who Is Back
Big CatWimbledon is a top-tier sport to take a nap through
Mount Rushmore of sports to take a nap through. I've been napping a lot through Wimbledon because it's the green. It's early to quiet. It's just a little bit of grunts here and there. But other than that, it's a nice little ease into a nap Wimbledon.
Big CatPeter King is a hypocrite for criticizing the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest
It is unbelievable to watch where Peter King draws the line. Putting a serial rapist into the Hall of Fame. Okay. Darren Sharper. Eating too many hot dogs on 4th of July? Nuh-uh. Don't do it. Covering a sport for 30, 40 years... where guys are dying from brain injuries... Okay. Watching Joey Chestnut eat 71 hot dogs on July 4th? Uh-uh. That's Peter King's line.
Interview
Big CatThe 'ass-eating' bet with Christian Yelich is a lifetime commitment
I think it only should count for the one time. Like, you can't do the home run derby every year. I think it should be a home run derby. The next one you do, when you have to enter it and play in it, and that will be the bet.
Mount Rushmore
Big CatWinning a bet that was a sure loser is an all-time thrill
Winning a bet that was a sure, sure, sure loser. Like dead in the water. You have an over and it comes back out of nowhere. Where you just wrote it off. That is an all-time thrill.
