In a wide ranging episode we discuss a format change to the Tour Down Under, another Diamond League and some craziness in the NBA. This leads us to a discussion of which are the teams where it’s important for them to win periodically for the competitions. We then discuss Capetown marathon, some Football World Cup team news and Parker Valby’s return to the track. Our final topic is the media limits set by players at Rolland Garros, leading us to discuss whether we are at ‘peak sport’ or whether things can keep growing.
