Key Discussions:Key Discussions:

• Football Madness Contest: The hosts analyze their picks for the Women's Euro Final (England vs. Spain). One host picked a 1-1 draw, another Spain 3-1 with 16 attempts, while a third participant chose Spain 2-1 with 12 attempts. They debate tie-breakers, such as total shots on goal, and the implications of regulation vs. extra time outcomes.
• MLB Updates: They review the MLB Survivor contest, declaring Jerry the likely winner after eliminations based on recent games (e.g., Yankees losses and D-backs sweeps). Discussions include team performances, like the Blue Jays' strong standing, Aaron Judge's injury (flexor strain, sidelining him for at least 10 days), and betting on World Series markets via Predicts.
• CFL Insights: Brief talk on the Canadian Football League, focusing on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' odds for the Grey Cup. The hosts express skepticism about their strength but note their competitive standing.
• NFL Deep Dive: A significant portion covers NFL training camp drama, including Christian Wilkins' release by the Raiders due to a dispute over foot surgery rehab, and potential implications for player contracts. They also discuss the 49ers' receiver injuries (e.g., Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel), joint practices with the Raiders (highlighting Max Crosby's history of fights), and broader topics like the NFLPA scandal involving executive resignations over questionable expenses.
• Other Sports and Segments: The episode touches on NBA topics, such as a 2006 draft redraft poll (e.g., Kyle Lowry vs. LaMarcus Aldridge as top picks) and July predictions (e.g., differing picks for the Emirates Cup and NBA awards). They brainstorm future ideas, like a "which happens first" segment (e.g., Steph Curry's 3-point record vs. John Stockton's assists record) and debate the relevance of unions for professional athletes, given high salaries and individual leverage.
• General Banter and Wrap-Up: The hosts share personal betting experiences on platforms like Predicts, mention new users (e.g., in F1 markets), and end with reflections on unbreakable sports records (e.g., Rasheed Wallace's technical fouls) before signing off, encouraging listeners to engage on Fountain and the Stacker Sports community.

Can’t wait to listen.

Obviously the NFLPA needs to update their employment contract to add an allowance of strip club visits /s

Definitely the sport page of bitcoin.

I took a sneak peek ahead to the NBA drafts. 2007 seems to be easy, 2008 should stir up some discussion. 2009 is a very strong draft class with multiple stars, but it's still an easy one because of one man. Looking forward for the posts to drop and to talk some more basketball even during the off season.

I think with the Curry / Stockton records, I agree with GR that never is probably the right answer. But if I had to pick, I would think that Steph's record would get broken first, simply because the league takes a lot more 3's and the 3 point shot is emphasized, plus heavily worked on. Genius passers like Stockton are more rare to see than great shooters IMO. But as they say, records are meant to be broken. Let's see whether one or both of these records get broken during our lifetimes.
