THE BLEACHER BRIEFINGS

In this week's edition of The Bleacher Briefings podcast, we discuss the ongoing saga between Alex Rodriguez and Major League Baseball, Johnny Manziel's controversial summer, and big name player injuries in the first week of NFL training camp! - A-Rod's Uncertain Future in Major League Baseball: Reports are circulating that MLB officials have told Alex Rodriguez they are preparing to suspend him for the remainder of this season and all of next year for his ties to a biogenesis lab in Florida. It is also being said that if A-Rod fights the penalty, baseball will seek a lifetime ban for the 14-time All-Star. Why is Major League Baseball targeting Rodriguez specifically, and what will the final outcome be? We break it down. - Johnny Be Bad: Already this summer, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel has had run-ins with the law, took jabs at his own school via Twitter, dozed off during meetings at Peyton Manning's quarterback camp, and most recently, attended enemy territory frat parties in Austin, Texas. What is the 20-year-old QB thinking, and what could the potential repercussions be for his actions? We'll tell you. - Big Names Go Down in Week 1 of NFL Training Camp: The opening week of training camp in the National Football League saw the likes of Dan Koppen, Jeremy Maclin and Dennis Pitta lost for the year with season-ending injuries. Which injured player will be the hardest for his respective team to replace, and what are some of the reasons behind major injuries during camp? Hear our take. Plus: We discuss the Eagles' decision to retire quarterback Donovan McNabb's number and whether or not he's Hall of Fame worthy, wide receiver Greg Jennings taking shots at former teammate Aaron Rodgers, and David Ortiz losing his cool over the weekend in Baltimore!
