In this episode of Sports Hangover, Michael and J-Dawg discuss various topics including Father's Day, the US Open, NBA Finals, NHL playoffs, and the Lakers coaching situation. They speculate that the Lakers' pursuit of Dan Hurley was a ploy to lower the cost of hiring JJ Redick as head coach. They also express their disappointment in Rory McIlroy's performance at the US Open and discuss the popularity of Bryson DeChambeau. The conversation transitions to the NBA Finals and the lack of interest in the series due to the absence of marquee teams. They also touch on the NHL playoffs and the contrasting fan support between Edmonton and Florida. The hosts debate whether the Lakers organization is being controlled by LeBron James and question the decision to potentially hire JJ Redick as head coach instead of pursuing a more qualified candidate. They suggest that LeBron should consider coaching the team himself. In this conversation, Michael and J DAWG discuss the potential conspiracy theory surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers' coaching situation and the instability of the ESPN booth. They also debate the ranking of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk among other NFL receivers. The conversation then shifts to blind items, including rumors about Shannon Sharpe and Aaron Rodgers. They end the conversation by discussing their upcoming football contest and the latest rumors about Bill Belichick's love life.
