Join us this week as we dig deep into the Civil Rights Era.
"The Greatest of All Time", Muhammad Ali, has passed away at the age of 74 and we will take a look back at his storied life and career, in and outside of the squared-circle.
We'll also discuss the Spike Lee Lil Joint/ESPN Film "Redemption Song", about the racial injustices faced by the Howard University National Championship Soccer Teams in the 1970's. Joining us for two separate conversations are the film's producer, Mark W. Wright, and the coach of those legendary teams, Lincoln "Tiger" Phillips. Redemption Song will air during the 6pm ET Sportscenter on Friday, June 10th, on ESPN.
We'll also analyze the first three games of the 2016 NBA Finals and try to make sense of the madness thus far.

MLS/CONCACAF Edition
On this episode, Kamal Hylton & Aaron Nielsen kick off the show in Segment 1 “The First Round” discussing if MLS teams “Play The Percentages” when it comes to stats/analytics financially and on the field before diving into whether the "Rags to Riches” storyline that is so prevalent in boxing is dying in soccer with the rise of academies.
We wrap up the show with Segment 2 “Last Call” looking at how soccer clubs are using the Football Manager video game to scout players and whether cross-branding between sports would help bring in more casual fans to MLS games.
Send the hosts a tweet @KamalHylton and @ENBSports, and be sure download the War Room Sports mobile app for Android & IPhone.

Welcome to the latest Gaffer & Hooligan Soccer Podcast.
With the World Cup now over we’re back to regular business of discussing MLS and CONCACAF from a Canadian perspective.
There was a log jam on topics on tap this episode and with help from RNO/ENBSports Aaron Nielsen we sifted through a lot.
In Segment 1 “The First Round” we give a mini MLS first half review, focusing on the three Canadian clubs and branching out to a few other teams within the league and then transition into a discussion on the recent release of the MLS All-Star roster.
We wrap up with Segment 2 “Last Call” talking about our impressions of League1 Ontario since its launch and end by giving our initial impressions on the news about CFL/CSA/NASL planning a Canadian Second Division.

The Broad Street Line is the only podcast you need to listen to in preparation for Thursday night's NBA Draft. By the end of the show, we'll help you sort the facts from the rumors and tell you exactly how things will shake out for the Sixers as well as the rest of the NBA.
In the second hour of the podcast, we'll put a bow on the Philadelphia Eagles' minicamp as the team takes a month-long break before training camp begins in August. We'll also play "Buyers or Sellers" with the Phillies as the team's recent success has plenty of people thinking that Ruben Amaro Jr. should hold off on trading some of his best players.
So, for all of that and more, come and take a ride on The Broad Street Line: The future of sports talk radio has finally arrived.

The Gaffer & Hooligan continues its 2014 World Cup coverage with a bit of a twist. Joined by RNO's Canadian Soccer writer and stats/analytics expert Sam Gregory we take a group-by-group approach, answering some important questions from a Statistical/Analytical perspective.
In Segment 1 "The First Round" we cover Groups A-D, amongst the questions tackled were can Chile make it out of what can be considered a "Group of Death"? and whether an out of form Shinji Kagawa is a major concern for Japan?
We wrap up the show with Segment 2 "Last Call" examining Groups E-H, dissecting questions like is Argentina's firepower going forward enough to win despite a weaker defense? and can Germany finally shed its bridesmaid tag?
