Reiter Than You 7-2-25 Start/Bench/Cut

Bill kicked off hour two by breaking down the latest NBA storylines with NBC Sports NBA reporter Kurt Helin before diving into Buy or Sell. Bill ends the week by crowning the Bum of the Week!

Bill outlined the candidates and crowned this week's Bum of the Week!

In today's Buy or Sell, Bill answers if Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has one of the most accomplished careers in baseball, if multiple players will hit 60+ homers this season, if the Jets will win more games with Justin Fields than Aaron Rodgers, if Bronny's career would be better off with LeBron changing teams, if Bill would be able to work for someone after being their boss at one point, if July 4th is the best summer holiday and if Bill grading the Knicks acquisition of Jalen Brunson as a D+ was the worst take he's ever had.

Kurt Helin joined Bill to discuss if the Knicks made the right hire in Mike Brown, if it makes sense for the Cavaliers to trade for LeBron James, whether he would rather trade for LeBron or Kevin Durant and who, if not the Oklahoma City Thunder, will win the NBA Finals next season.

In this week's Would You Rather?, Bill choose whether he would want Justin Fields or Aaron Rodgers as his QB in 2025, record 3,000 strikeouts or 300 wins in his career, trade for either Kevin Durant or LeBron James, have Damian Lillard play for either the Lakers or Warriors and watch the hot dog eating contest or set off fireworks in his backyard.

Bill opens the show by giving his biggest takeaway from the New York Knicks hiring Mike Brown as their next head coach before explaining why the Cleveland Cavaliers should want nothing to do with LeBron James. The hour ends with, Would You Rather?

Bill kicked off hour two by breaking down the latest college football news with CBS Sports college football analyst Josh Pate before diving into Buy or Sell. The show ends with a very special edition of "What's Stuing?" as Bill's former producer, Stu Kovacs, gives his expertise on dating a twin and if a case of mistaken identity is realistic.

In today's Buy or Sell, Bill answers if the Grizzlies extending Jaren Jackson Jr. means they will keep Ja Morant, if the Pacers sent a bad message to their fans by not re-signing Myles Turner, if NFL quarterbacks deserve more time to develop, if Ryan Day has pressure on him to beat Michigan, if he would attend a game just to see Red Panda perform at halftime and if the Diamondbacks fan that is banned for the rest of the season deserved it.

Josh Pate joined Bill to discuss how schools legally being able to pay players changes the landscape of the sport moving forward, how basketball schools will split money with the football program, why Kalen DeBoer's mindset will help him succeed at Alabama and how much pressure Ryan Day has on him to beat Michigan.

In this week's Start/Bench/Cut, Bill ranks the best cities for WNBA expansion, cities that deserve a professional sports team, the most hated athletes by their peers, NBA team closest to a championship, most prestigious championship, which NBA play will return to their top form quickest and best July 4th activities.
