Today is “Thirsty Thursday.” The San Antonio Spurs had an epic collapse, blowing a 29-point lead and losing Game 4 on an OG Anunoby put-back tip-in with 2.1 seconds left, giving the New York Knicks a 107-106 victory and putting the Knicks up 3-1 in the series.

The World Cup is back we share our opinions on the event. “The World’s Strongest Take!” Plus, we have Eric Henry of Horns 24/7 to talk about the Brendan Sorsby situation and the Texas football schedule.
