The Charity Stripe

Slim Dookie joins the show for one of our biggest NBA debates of the offseason. We kick things off with a True or False: do the 76ers with LeBron belong in the same championship tier as the Thunder, Spurs, and Knicks? Then Nick reveals his three biggest winners and three biggest losers of the NBA offseason before we put every team through our Blind Tier Rankings, sorting contenders, trade-away candidates, "Away Court Disadvantage" squads, mid teams, and the Fat Dookies. We also play Way or No Way, debating Anthony Davis trade rumors, Cooper Flagg's All-NBA chances, first-time MVP candidates, coaching hot seats, and whether multiple NBA legends will retire after the season. Finally, we wrap things up with another edition of Would You Rather, as Anthony Edwards goes head-to-head against Giannis, Luka, Cade Cunningham, Cooper Flagg, Jayson Tatum, Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Maxey, and more to determine which superstar you'd want for the rest of the decade.

The World Cup is down to the final four, and we're breaking down every semifinal matchup with our signature "Would You Rather" comparisons. We go position-by-position through France vs. Spain and Argentina vs. England, debating the better manager, goalkeeper, back line, midfield, attack, superstar, and ultimately predicting who advances to the World Cup Final. Then it's time for a Sports Scantron: Which player has the most to gain for their legacy by winning the World Cup—Lamine Yamal, Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, Lionel Messi, Harry Kane, or Michael Olise? We also dive into the NBA's next generation with an AJ Dybantsa franchise-building exercise, debating whether we'd rather build around him or some of the league's brightest young stars, plus our favorite and least favorite rookie fits from this year's class. Finally, we introduce one of the wildest fantasy football concepts yet: the "NIL League," where teams can spend next year's auction budget to recruit players from other rosters before the trade deadline.
