    Myles Garrett Breaks the NFL, Sneed Back in KC, Skylar vs. Chicago, & The Fan Who Lost His Mind in Game 2 | The Polished Playbook

    This week’s episode is a full rollercoaster, so buckle up. We get into Myles Garrett heading to the Rams, the Dolphins sitting on $99 million in dead money, and L’Jarius Sneed making his way back to Kansas City. Then we slide straight into the WNBA where Skylar Diggins absolutely drags the Chicago Sky, and we ask the question the timeline is scared to touch: does Caitlin Clark need an attitude adjustment? Sha‑Ron pulls up on the KC Diamonds, Kina hits the Atlanta Dream, and we check in on the KC Glory’s season coming to an end and the KC Mavericks owning the finals. Plus: NBA Finals talk, the fan who stormed the court in Game 2, Trump ruining Game 3, and the queen herself, Serena Williams returning to tennis. It’s messy, it’s funny, it’s sports, it’s culture, it’s us. Tap in.
