    Did Charles really pick the Criterion Channel over the NBA Cup final? He tells Mike why he made that decision, despite the fact that he considered the league's third annual in-season trip to Vegas to have been a success. Staying in the association, expansion may or may not be on the way, and league decisions on both Terry Rozier and the Los Angeles Clippers still hang in the balance. The NFL lost the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, and Micah Parsons in a span of a few hours, but will the ratings take a hit? Snoop Dogg adds Netflix Halftime performer to his résumé, the College Football Playoff is here, and what does the latest bombshell media news mean for the sports world? Plus, Jason's Wormbyte on World Cup ticket prices, and the Dr. Mike Smith Sports Moment of the Week sends Mike on a confusing journey back in time.
