  The last couple of years have been big for the WNBA. Big TV contracts, breakout stars, greater attendance, but does that mean the WNBA is a truly viable league that has a firm future, or could it be that some of the numbers just aren't there they way they need to be? In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani talk WNBA. The positives, the negatives and what can be done to make "save" the league and secure its future. Oh, and of course Jon gets to brag about his World Cup prediction...

  The World Cup

  Jul 4, 20261h 17mS2

  It is, without question, the biggest sporting event in the world...that's probably why they call it the World Cup. Unlike the World Series of Baseball, this event is truly world wide and has almost the whole world tuning in to watch. This year, the games are being hosted by North America: Mexico, Canada and the United States, a place where soccer, or football as its known around the world, is not the premier sport. How is America taking to the games of the World Cup? Kent Koen and Jon Madani take a look at how its being received and try to answer a few questions about the game and figure out why its not the top sport in the US and if that might change.

  The NBA Finals

  Jun 20, 202656 minS3

  Depending on who you are, this was the greatest NBA Finals in recent memory, which seems like most of the country and every celebrity out there...or if you are from San Antonio, then not so much. This could easily have been the Spurs year except for one thing: The Knicks, who just seemed to want it more, and the City of New York who really seemed to need it. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani take a look at the 2026 NBA Finals, taking advantage of Jon's unique perspective as a courtside producer. They discuss what this means for both teams now and in the future and who might be there next year.
