US Open fallout, World Cup chatter, and a stacked guest list on Pat McAfee
This preview-based episode guide points to a wide-ranging sports show built around Wyndham Clark’s US Open win, weekend World Cup action, and broader NFL news. The show notes also promise appearances from Mike Grella, Shams Charania, Mark Schlabach, JJ Watt, Steve Sabins, and a live college commitment from Julius Jones Jr.
Based on the published show notes, this episode looks like a fast-moving sports roundup with golf, soccer, football, basketball, and college sports all sharing the spotlight. The main in-house discussion appears to center on Wyndham Clark’s wire-to-wire US Open victory, with attention also given to the reportedly contentious Shinnecock crowd and what that meant for the weekend’s golf conversation. The notes also suggest a broad check-in on World Cup action from the weekend, which should make this a good pick for listeners who like mixed-sport coverage rather than a single-topic deep dive. On top of that, Pat, AJ Hawk, and the crew are set to touch on NFL headlines and whatever else is moving across the wider sports landscape. A big reason to tune in may be the guest lineup. Mike Grella is listed for soccer analysis, while Shams Charania is slated to discuss a potential Giannis trade. Mark Schlabach adds more golf and college football perspective, and Julius Jones Jr. is noted as making his college commitment on the show. The episode also includes JJ Watt and West Virginia head baseball coach Steve Sabins, giving the hour a mix of current news, analysis, and personality-driven conversation. If you enjoy sports shows that bounce between major headlines and guest interviews, this episode looks designed for that style. Since this is only a preview from the show notes, expect the actual balance of topics and depth to depend on how the conversations unfold on air.
