Episode 24 has Carlos and Dave talking through a quiet spot in the summer sports calendar.

That means having some fun with some news and notes, discussing the Seattle [Insert Name Here] NHL team getting their first General Manager, Nike suing Kawhi, the Bryce Harper update, some Jays talk, a pretentious cross country running report and more.

In the main topic Carlos and Dave discuss the role of television and social media in changing the way we consume sports. (35:36) Have the networks trying to squeeze every last dime out of their expensive TV deals meant hurting the viewing experience of the sports fan as we get better at ignoring the sponsors and ads?
