They'll dig into the leading topics of the series, including Finals MVP considerations and the directions of both the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers after the final buzzer sounds on the NBA season.

Does a Cavaliers title still prove that a team needs a lead dog/superstar player to win a championship? They will also look at the news regarding the FBI's hacking investigation into the St. Louis Cardinals. Where do the Redbirds, the league and new commissioner Rob Manfred go from here?

With Atlanta and Washington, could the Wizards keep this unexpected run going after stumbling out of the top four in the East or will the Hawks remember they are the number 1 team in the conference?

Out west, how do the Golden State Warriors keep winning despite solid defense on the league MVP Stephen Curry by a battered Memphis Grizzlies squad?

With boycott calls as well as the well-sourced Deadspin article regarding Mayweather's history with domestic violence, what will still end up being the most lucrative fight card in boxing history is also one with an omnipotent morality play.

Is the stationary quarterback officially dead as believed? Is the sporting public crowning Russell Wilson rightly or too quickly? Are the criticisms of Peyton Manning's playoff record valid or absurd? Most importantly, in this "copycat league", is defense back en vogue outside of the NFC West?   Plus, with the "Bullygate" investigation headed to its end, the guys will speak about the revealing texts and discuss whether anti-bullying advocates should feel duped or press on.   Last, but not least, thoughts on the 2014 class for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.   Come through The Exchange in the chat room, on Twitter (@skd_thExchange, @asportsscribe) and the phone line at 347-202-0247.

Besides can any team beat the Seahawks in Seattle, can the New Orleans Saints or San Francisco 49ers still make a case for the most dangerous in the NFC bracket?

Maybe Miami Dolphins tight end Dustin Keller's season ended before it could really begin thanks to a dangerous tackle by Houston Texans safety D.J. Swearinger. The immediate reactions were those of shock and awe, but as gruesome as the right knee injury was, Swearinger's comments may have been moreso when it comes to what may be the new reality of the NFL.   "With the rules in this era you've got to hit low. If I would have hit him high, I would have gotten a fine. So I think I made the smartest play. I'm sorry it happened and I pray he has a speedy recovery."   On The Exchange, Sumit & Jason discuss how the continued tweaking of the rulebook could be changing the NFL and football overall for better or worse. They'll talk about the NFL's emphasis on penalizing hitting with the crown of the helmet, the NCAA's focus on targeting and an apparent "low-hit culture" among other matters leading into the season.   They will also provide some observations as training camps come to an end and the "dress rehersals" of the upcoming weekend draw near.   Come through The Exchange through the chat room, on Twitter (@skd_thExchange, @asportsscribe) and the phone line at 347-202-0247.

That's largely up to you.   In addition, some delayed, but necessary words on another labor dispute; the somehow under-the-radar NHL lockout. How similar is this to what sports fans endured in 2011?

Here we go again, right?   For those of us who love the NBA, these are some unnerving times as no one's really sure when this lockout is going to end. With that said, there have been some interesting statements about the labor unrest.   On the next edition of The Exchange, Sumit & Jason will try to wade through the murky waters a bit - from how far apart the owners and players are to what may be the best compromise for both sides. They'll also discuss some interesting insights from across the media, including Malcolm Gladwell's words from Grantland on how the soon-to-be Brooklyn Nets contradict the owners' stance in this lockout.    In addition, some insights on baseball's September insanity, Week 3 in the NFL and the surprisingly under-publicized news about the eight-game Thursday Night Football package that has been tabled for the time being.   Join the fellas in the chat room, on Twitter (@asportsscribe, @skd_thExchange) or on the call-in line at 347-202-0247. 01:02:00The ExchangenoNBA lockout,NFL Week 3,Brooklyn Nets,Wild Card lead,baseball collapsesHere we go again, right?   For those of us who love the NBA, these are some unnerving times as no one's really sure when this lockout is going to end.

Knowing how frustration has already set in for some fan bases, the discussion will give an opportunity to call, tweet or comment in the chat room about what's good, bad and bizarre.   Finally, for those who caught Saturday's hysterical PPV bout between Floyd Mayweather (Jr.) and Victor Ortiz, some food for thought.   Of course, don't forget that the new call-in number for The Exchange is 347-202-0247.   NOTE: Props to The Football God for that amazing realignment map.   01:01:00The ExchangenoNFL Week 2,college football,conference realignment,Big 12,ACCAt some point in the next two weeks, Sumit & Jason will make a formal application to join the Mountain West Conference.

(With ease)   Sumit & Jason have a doozy of an episode for this edition of The Exchange. Sure, this stuff has been beaten over your heads for days now, but only because a few teams seem to dominate the headlines. Not here, friends.   Free agency frenzy, the real meat of the new CBA, the upcoming enshrinements into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and words on some media news.

Sports are no different; in fact, these players and executives move the meter like no other group of people in the world. Yet, in all the hype about Twitter, Facebook and soon-to-explode Google+, there's not a great understanding why it actually matters or what's really going on. For episode #14 of The Exchange, Sumit & Jason speak with Gail Sideman (@PUBLISIDE; http://publiside.com) about social media & sports to help you make sense of it all. The PR & publicity veteran will talk up all things important; including how athletes have used social media, controversial uses of it and the best practices around the sports world. Plus, with the NFL lockout now over, they’ll chat about how this labor impasse was covered like none other thanks to Twitter; for better or worse.

Well, if you care to notice. You're forgiven if you just remembered that we're nearing the baseball trade deadline. You're forgiven if you just have a shrug of the shoulders for the NBA releasing its schedule despite the lockout. You're forgiven if you just want the NFL to hammer out its new CBA already without the rhetoric. However, you won't be forgiven for not listening to the latest edition of The Exchange. Sumit & Jason will chat up on all three topics along with revisit the thrilling Women's World Cup Final, which was touched upon on A Sports Scribe.

Another boxing robbery, an amazing game on the international pitch and some intriguing pre-All Star break showdowns in baseball.   Sumit & Jason will touch upon all of that and a bit more on the eleventh episode of The Exchange. That bit more includes some second-half predictions and curiosities for baseball (what's with these unwritten rules?), a bizarre NFL free agency period to come, the NBA'ers to Europe quandary and some reflections of last week's tremendous "The Anniversary of The Decision".   Call-in, dominate the chat room, feel like a champ! 01:01:00The ExchangenoMLB,NBA players going overseas,unwritten rules in basel,NFL free agency,The DecisionWhat in the world do we talk about now?   Well, in this quieter part of the American sports calendar, there was a surprising bit given to the masses this weehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/theexchange/2011/07/06/the-exchange--the-anniversary-of-the-decisionSportshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/theexchange/2011/07/06/the-exchange--the-anniversary-of-the-decision/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/theexchange/2011/07/06/the-exchange--the-anniversary-of-the-decisionWed, 06 Jul 2011 01:00:00 GMTThe Exchange - The Anniversary of The Decision It's hard to not think about how the sports world was shook to its core a year ago this week as the most hyped free agency in North American sports history took place without earnest.   Leading up to July 8th, you will see many more references to The Decision – LeBron James’ departure from the Cleveland ...Cavaliers and subsequent signing with the Miami Heat. Although it was a one-hour announcement show, The Decision has come to stand more than those sixty minutes. Sumit & Jason will tackle The Anniversary of The Decision in a special two-hour edition of "The Exchange". That infamous night has inspired or at least, unearthed some deep seeded emotions from sports fans, culture junkies, media geeks and (unfortunately) political leaders. With three featured guests coming aboard, this special edition will provide not only a look back in the year since, but some thoughts about where we go from here. The guys will be joined by Stephon Johnson of the New York Amsterdam News, Paulsen of Sports Media Watch (both previous guests) and Michael Tillery of The Starting Five & SLAM Magazine.

Though the Fred Wilpon/New York Mets situation was discussed previously, it's the still-jarring bankruptcy filing of the Los Angeles Dodgers by Frank McCourt that has dominated the sport's headlines in recent days.   Of course, more will be discussed, including details on next week's two hour special edition where we revisit "The Decision" and its dizzying aftermath a year later.   Call-in and hit the chat room.

That in itself, will lead to the discussion about the most polarizing figure in sports... Eddie House.   After that, there may be some discussion about LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. Maybe.   The guys will chat up all the anger, frustration and schadenfreude that continue to dominate; even as the aftermath has people sounding like... well, take it from here, Ultimate Warrior.   Also, some puck talk now that the Boston Bruins have forced a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final this Wednesday night in Vancouver.   You know what to do by now: call, hit up the chat room and keep the conversation going on Twitter.

We're going to discuss it in a pretty unique manner; not just about the comments themselves, but the funny state of ownership in sports.
