    FIFA’s Final Look At Dallas, New York Stadiums for World Cup Final

    FIFA is looking into whether AT&T Stadium and MetLife Stadium are up for the challenge of hosting the hugely anticipated 2026 World Cup final.

    Plus, another Chicago-area suburb makes its pitch for the Bears, and Charles Barkley shows why he is unique among sports commentators.

    Later in the episode, we hear from former NFL player and current NFL Network analyst Gerald McCoy on his move to the media, how the league is shifting its approach to certain positions, and what is causing the downturn in offense this season.
