NPDS - Major NFL/NFLPA collusion update! Brian Cashman and Yankees going all-in? ABS in the ASG!? (Episode 1311 Hour 1)
Today’s word of the day is ‘abhorrent’ as in the NFL as in the NFLPA as in collusion as in appeal as in firings. This is how this ends.

Who the F*** Is Wayne Federman?
He is literally That Guy from "Knocked Up," "Step Brothers," "The Larry Sanders Show" and, of course, "Curb Your Enthusiasm." But he's also a professor of stand-up, and his multiverse contains multitudes: Larry David's breaking point (and unaired film for Apple); Gary Shandling's secret pickup basketball game (with Bob Costas and David Duchovny); and the cinematic life (and death) of Pistol Pete Maravich. He may never have become the Newman of "Curb," but stay close to The Theory of Federman, and you might just learn the meaning of genius.

Today’s word of the day is ‘consequences’ as in the NHL as in NIL as in Canada as in change. Gavin McKenna is the lock of all locks to be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.

Another case of an agent taking advantage of a foreign player. It’s sad. Someone had asked me a question about MLB owners and the MLBPA so let me answer that. (25:45) We have an F1 update! Christian Horner has been fired by Red Bull. Wow. (33:00) Review: Dept. Q. (36:30) Draymond Green sounded off on the new CBA. He said free agency is dead. He said players aren’t educated on business. Hmm. (44:45) The Big Beautiful Bill is already upsetting Congress. Here we go. We’ve got people in Congress writing up bills to change the gambling law in the bill. Woof. (49:00) NPPOD.
