*MLB All-Star: I'll tune in for Jeter's lead-off at-bat, but that's about it. Maybe that's enough.
*Home Run Derby: Similarly, I watched Stanton's jaw-dropping first round, then dropped out. (Yoenis Cespedes is clearly great, but I'll take Jose Abreu, People's Champ.)
*Emmanuel Mudiay skipping college: More power to him. He'll be a Top 3 pick next June whether he spends next year at SMU, in Slovakia or training with Tim Grover.
*Jimmy Graham returns to the Saints: The league's most exciting tight end where he should be.
*SEC Media Day, Day 2: It's the annual highlight -- Steve Spurrier at the podium.
*Chandler Parsons was "offended" by the Rockets: For what? Pursuing Carmelo or Chris Bosh as an upgrade to him, no matter how talented he might be? Faux-outrage.
*World Cup hangover: Would it surprise you to know the Brazil coach is out? I'm surprised it took this long.
*NBA Summer League: If there was a re-draft of the
entire league and you were starting a franchise today, the Greek Freak
would be a Top 20 pick -- maybe Top 10.
*"Men In Blazers" watch: Not only are they starting a new newsletter, but it has a sponsor, which is a unicorn for newsletters. (The most notable one I know with a sponsor is Mike Allen's Playbook.)
*Last night I took the kids to see our local high school hoops team in a summer league tournament, and Gheorge Muresan was hanging out there. He's the best.
