We've reached the PLL All Star break!

We take a few minutes to go through the rosters for the PLL All Star game this weekend. The starters, the reserves, a few notable injury replacements. Then, we talk about guys around the PLL who have had all star level first halves, but didn't get the nod for All Star weekend.

Then, we talk a bit about what makes the WLL and PLL All Star game such a fun watch, and keeps it competitive.

Finally, I give out midseason awards. My pick for each of the PLL's positional awards, plus MVP and Rookie of the Year, at the half way point.

It's been a massive week for Premier Lacrosse League news.

We start with the biggest of the stories. The PLL has a new five year media rights deal with ESPN. We get into the what we know, we would want to know, some information about the terms of the deal and more. We also talk about what it can do in the near term, like expanding the schedule and increasing player salaries, but also look at longer term projects that can get kicked off under the new deal.

Then, we change gears to PLL cards. The PLL released a new set of cards this week, and I get into the what I liked, and didn't like, about the release and the card set itself.

Finally, we talk this weekend's games. We briefly touch on the Whipsnakes as they are on a bye, then preview the weekend's four games out in San Diego at Torero Stadium.

It's week four of the PLL season!

We start with some talk about viewership and ratings, as the league has a big weekend for TV on deck. Three games this weekend are on linear. We talk through why the viewership floor is important, understanding the impact of the streaming audience, and more.

Then, it's already All Star time. I take you through who I'd vote for in each conference, and some other names to watch for the game.

Then, we talk a bit about the Redwoods and they're play so far as they are on the bye this week. Changing their identity, having no quit, and how they'll handle the Merle injury.

Finally we preview all four games. It'll be a hot one in Baltimore, and each game should be excellent.
