Welcome to The Sporting Tribune Podcast Network and a new episode of The Sporting Tribune Today, our every-weekday show on sports in Southern California, Las Vegas and Hawaii. In today’s episode, Arash Markazi is in the host’s chair for a Monday edition of The Sporting Tribune Today, reacting to a weekend of polar opposite results for two of the biggest teams in sports.
First, Arash breaks down a baffling home loss for the Los Angeles Chargers, who fell 27-10 to the Washington Commanders. After jumping out to a 10-0 lead, the Chargers’ offense went silent, plagued by costly penalties and three turnovers in Washington territory. Arash analyzes the collapse and we hear from Head Coach Jim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert, Joe Alt and Derwin James.
Then, it’s a story of pure dominance from Las Vegas. The Aces took a commanding 2-0 lead in the WNBA Finals with a 91-78 victory over the Phoenix Mercury. Jackie Young was unstoppable, setting a WNBA Finals record with 21 points in the third quarter alone. You’ll hear postgame sound from Young and A’ja Wilson as the Aces now sit just two wins away from a championship.
