July Blows for Sports Your Mom Blows for Fun
July is the worst month on the sports calendar—hot takes are sweating, Red Sox are trash, and NESN still thinks you're gonna pay $30/month to watch it. Spoiler: we ain’t. So, we're talking about literally everything except the Sox this week.
We break down the Celtics' offseason as Brad Stevens continues to turn this roster into a 2026 project, debate whether Luka Garza is just a tall paperweight, and guess when Al Horford finally retires (probably mid-layup).
Then we dive into “10 Questions With a Guy Named Rob” where nothing is sacred—Mac Jones slander, Jake Paul praise, and finding enough women to fill five new WNBA teams.
Plus:
Our biggest L’s from six seasons of podcasting (yes, we admit when we’re wrong—barely)
Trolls in the comment section threaten our wives (again, true story)
And this week’s Simplest Minds of the Week, featuring NHL Draft Night Parents and a British soccer player with world-class aim—on and off the pitch.
[Intro]
July sucks for sports.
So does your mom.
NESN still charges $30 to stream a 4th-place team.
[Opening Takes]
Bobby: Furious as ever.
Ray: Probably sweating.
🟩 New Look Celtics
Luke Kornet signs with the Spurs — does anyone actually care?
Horford retirement watch 2025
Luka Garza and Josh Minott: Budget ballers or garbage time gods?
Bobby’s theory: Brad is punting 2025 harder than a Belichick special teams unit.
🔟 10 Questions from a Guy Named Rob
Cook, Mac, Dame, SGA, Jake Paul, Shane Gillis, WNBA expansion, Darren Waller relapsing, and the Steelers self-sabotaging.
Honestly, it's a fever dream of takes.
🧻 We Were Wrong (Sorta)
Cam Newton redemption arc never arrived – Ray
JuJu > Jakobi – Rich, and he still defends it
99 Restaurant is elite – Bobby (was this a food coma take?)
Zappe Fever – Bobby again
Mac Jones fan club – Rich, please stop
And Pasta is elite – don't @ us

Yes, someone really offered to fight us over a Jack Jones take.
