On today's episode, Jason gets the party started with a quick preview of the upcoming World Cup Final between Argentina and France. It's hard to explain to non-soccer fans how big it is to see Lionel Messi vs Kylian Mbappe in the Final; It would be like seeing Kobe Bryant face LeBron James in the NBA Finals back in 2009. It's arguably the greatest players of their respective generations going head-to-head for all the marbles, you can't beat it. In the NBA, the big news on Wednesday has to be the health of Steph Curry, who left late in the Golden State Warriors loss to the Pacers with a shoulder injury. It's still unclear how long Curry will be out, but given that the Warriors have been absolutely atrocious on the road even with Steph, it's hard now to be just a little bit concerned about the team moving forward. Later, Jason hits us with a way-too-early lookahead to the 2023 NFL Draft. Many expected this would be a quarterback-rich draft given how poor last season's crop graded out but as of now we're stuck with more questions than answers. Kentucky's Will Levis is said to be the best of the bunch, but have you seen the way he's looked against top-flight competition? Yikes. Finally, J-Mac closes the show with the Thursday Night Football (San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks) edition of the Best Bet.
