Connor Willey Joins To Talk Messi’s GOAT Case, a 4-Team NBA Blockbuster and Fantasy Football "League Rules"

The World Cup is finally here, and we're diving headfirst into the biggest storylines with guest, Connor Willey. If Argentina lifts the trophy, does Lionel Messi officially become the unquestioned GOAT of sports? We break down the legacy implications, the three biggest keys for Team USA against Australia, and whether anything less than a competitive quarterfinal appearance would be a disappointment for the Americans. Then it's time for a loaded edition of Way or No Way featuring bold World Cup predictions: Messi's goal total, Spain's group-stage fate, a potential first-time champion, Golden Boot sleepers, hydration breaks, African nations making a deep run, and whether a goalkeeper can take home the Golden Ball. In the NBA, we play "Can We Fix It?" with the Lakers and outline the moves needed to get Los Angeles back into title contention. Plus, we unveil the annual Stripe Sports 4-Team NBA Mega Trade featuring Anthony Davis, Trae Young, Brandon Ingram, Tyler Herro and more—and debate which front office hangs up first. Finally, we head to the NFL for a wide receiver duo draft featuring some of the league's biggest stars before evaluating two of the most ridiculous fantasy football formats ever created: The House of the Dragon League and The Love Island League. Trust us, these rules are completely insane. Messi. Mega trades. Fantasy football anarchy. Let's ride. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We also go through every major National League and American League contender with a Why They Win, Why They Lose outlook heading into the stretch run, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses that could define October.

On this episode, we break down blockbuster NFL hypotheticals, MLB contenders, and NBA legacy conversations that could define the next decade of sports. We open with a heated “Pick a Package” debate centered around a potential AJ Brown trade.

MLB Reactions After An Awesome 1st Month

Way or No Way is back with a full MLB hitting and pitching stats edition, featuring some bold predictions that push the limits of what’s realistic this season. On the hitting side, we break down: Potential rookie record chases from Kevin McGonigle and Munetaka Murakami Mike Trout chasing a new career high in home runs Whether Aaron Judge can go 30-30 A possible Yordan Alvarez Triple Crown season And the case for Nico Hoerner reaching a 10 WAR year We also question if Bobby Witt Jr. and Fernando Tatis Jr. could fall short of expectations, and whether Nick Kurtz could lead the league in both walks and strikeouts.
