Nashville SC is back from the World Cup break, and Russell previews Friday night's showdown with Atlanta United, predicts a big win for the Boys in Gold, and discusses Sam Surridge joining Nashville's league-leading four MLS All-Stars.

Also this week: the Nashville Predators lock up Mavrik Bourque with a six-year contract, continue reshaping the front office with the hiring of assistant GM Vukie Mpofu, Titans training camp draws closer as Cam Ward prepares for Netflix's Quarterback, the USMNT's disappointing World Cup exit, and the latest on the Nashville Sounds' push for first place.

Plus, Russell sits down with Nashville entrepreneur and Atiba founder JJ Rosen to talk about growing up in Nashville, his grandfather Ralph Kornman's career as a local sportswriter, founding one of Nashville's leading technology companies, and former Nashville Sounds slugger Steve Balboni.
