While they day's hottest and weirdest sports topics are covered, also included is discussion of the smaller stories that people are taking about on the internet but often aren't seen on TV.

Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman and Molly Qerim co-host this weekday morning sports talk show, joined by regular contributors and guests.

Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter deliver breaking news and injury updates, while reporters at game sites set the scenes.
