With Trump’s cryptic and sexually suggestive birthday card to Epstein revealed, Michael Kosta dives into a lazy cover-up by the White House, a possible quid pro quo to buy Ghislaine Maxwell’s silence, and an excuse to blame it on Biden. Sports War: Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng spar over the biggest headlines in sports, including drunk crowds at the U.S. Open, Jalen Carter’s spit-tacular start to the NFL season, and AI coming for jobs in minor league baseball. Former professional tennis player and International Tennis Hall of Fame president, Patrick McEnroe, and fellow former pro tennis player, Michael Kosta, dissect last week’s U.S. Open, which McEnroe commented on for ESPN. McEnroe discusses the men’s final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner and how the two powerhouses are pushing each other and the sport forward, the importance of players like women’s finalist Amanda Anisimova being open about their mental health, and how one of the biggest disruptions to tennis fans at the tournament was Trump’s attendance. McEnroe also recalls how he and his brother, John McEnroe, first got into tennis and what lessons the sport has taught him about resilience and independence. Learn more about your ad choices.
