Nice, France, Phil Mickleson Round of 63, Isiah Thomas, Ben Simmons, Tum Tum Nairn, Draymond Green, Current Sports TV Rewind, Tom Brady, Deflategate, and Reflection Friday.

First of all, the Current Sports team would like to send its prayers and condolences to Nice, France after the horrible tragedy that occurred on Bastille Day. Then, Al's attention turns to Phil Mickleson, who was just one stroke away from setting a major record for single-round score. Following the press around that, Isiah Thomas, Detroit Pistons legend, really ripped on no. 1 draft pick Ben Simmons for not participating in an NBA Summer League game. Al and Isaac both make arguments for why Simmons shouldn't be blamed. Also, the show has a Current Sports TV rewind, as part of Tum Tum Nairn's interview from last night hits the radio for the first time. And the Draymond Green case keeps puffing out new details. Al and Isaac react before reflecting on the week that was during "Reflection Friday." Don't miss the end of the show either as chaos ensues and Al for the first time has to omit his patented "be easy people!"
