NFL Holdouts, Hogan’s Legacy, & Will the D-Backs Buy or Sell?

NFL training camps are underway—and so are the contract disputes. From rookies like Shemar Stewart to stars like Micah Parsons and Terry McLaurin, players across the league are either holding out or holding in. We’ve also got a tough update from Jets camp as QB Justin Fields goes down with a toe injury.
In other headlines: Shohei Ohtani continues his record-breaking tear, NASCAR makes military history with a 2026 race at Naval Base Coronado, and the world says goodbye to wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.
We break down the D-Backs' disappointing post-All-Star homestand, preview their road trip, and ask the question on every fan’s mind—buyers or sellers at the deadline?
Plus: Preseason Cardinals player power rankings, NASCAR heads to Indy, and JD brings the mic back for another chaotic round of NAILED IT.

We also check in on the D-Backs’ postseason push and the upcoming Kids Free Weekend at Chase Field, while “The Internet Is Forever” segment introduces us to a would-be chocolate assassin, a Ronald McDonald heist, and a meth-fueled sightseeing train operator in Florida. We ask: when should owners stop paying for potential and start paying for performance? Then we wrap it all up with JD’s classic rock sing-along disaster, NAILED IT. Don’t miss it!
