Fired Up! Episode 171: Ryan Fox Wins The Open, Spain Wins the World Cup, Lu Dort Trade & AFC North Preview

Fired Up! returns with reactions to two championship finishes, a major three-team NBA trade, and the next installment of our NFL division previews.

Ryan Fox Wins The Open Championship

We recap the dramatic finish at Royal Birkdale, where Ryan Fox birdied the 18th hole to finish 10-under par, defeat Cameron Young by one stroke, and capture the first major championship of his career. We discuss Fox's final round charge, the contenders who came up short, and the biggest takeaways from golf's final major of the season.

Spain Wins the FIFA World Cup

We look back on Spain's 1-0 victory over Argentina in the World Cup Final. Ferran Torres broke the scoreless tie with the championship-winning goal in the 106th minute, giving Spain its second men's World Cup title. We react to the final, Spain's run through the tournament, and what could have been Lionel Messi's final World Cup appearance.

Lu Dor Traded to the Atlanta Hawks

We break down the three-team NBA that sends Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard to Atlanta, former No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas, and three second-round picks to Oklahoma City. Which team benefited the most, why did the Thunder move an important contributor, and could Risacher revive his career alongside the Mavericks' young core?

AFC North Preview

We continue our NFL division previews by examining the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, and Pittsburgh Steelers. We discuss each team's biggest strengths and concerns, the players and position battles to watch during training camp, and our predicted order of finish for one of football's most competitive divisions.
