In this episode, host Lindsay Gibbs is joined by Jessie Breggren to talk about Minjee Lee’s win at the LPGA Kroger Queen City Championship, the North Carolina Courage’s win in the NWSL Challenge Cup, and the latest updates of what’s going on in the Spanish soccer federation.

Then (14:13), Lindsay has a reunion with two of her Burn It All Down co-hosts, Jessica Luther and Amira Rose Davis, to gush about Coco Gauff’s U.S. Open victory. All three of them are very, very excited – in one case, dangerously so.

Finally (36:48), the phenomenal Howard Megdal joins us to talk about the upcoming WNBA playoffs. We begin by discussing the first-round playoff format, highlighting the notable extension signings this week, and saying goodbye to the four non-playoff teams, the Indiana Fever, Los Angeles Sparks, Seattle Storm, and Phoenix Mercury. Finally, we go series-by-series to preview the first round of the playoffs: (1) Las Vegas Aces vs. (8) Chicago Sky; (2) New York Liberty vs. (7) Washington Mystics; (3) Connecticut Sun vs. (6) Minnesota Lynx; (4) Dallas Wings vs. (5) Atlanta Dream.
