A photo from 2007 shows a 20-year-old Lionel Messi holding a five-month-old baby at a Unicef shoot. That baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal. Now the two meet in the World Cup final, and Covino and Rich cannot let the coincidence go.
Wednesday’s show opens on the Messi and Yamal story after Argentina came back to beat England, then turns into a full run of the wildest coincidences in sports and history: Joe Theismann and Alex Smith breaking the same leg on the same yard line, the Lincoln and Kennedy list that still makes no sense, and the night Covino met Monse from across a bar. Plus MLB All-Star reaction and the TireRack Play of the Day.
