The Biggest Comeback in NBA Finals History and a World Cup Crash Course
The Knicks pulled off the largest comeback in NBA Finals history — down 29, on the road, against Wemby playing like Wemby. Cannon, Cole, and Ethan break down how San Antonio gave it away, Brunson as the Thanos of fourth quarters, and where this series goes from here. Then Avina joins to get Cannon up to speed on the 2026 World Cup — the 48-team format, the real Group of Death, and what it'll take for the USMNT to finally get past the Round of 16 on home soil.

What Is The Glue Guy Podcast?

The glue guy never gets the credit. But take them out of the lineup and everything falls apart. The Glue Guy Podcast is built for that person — the sports fan who stays informed, shows up every week, and holds it all together without anyone noticing.

This is a community for people who love sports and have full lives. No hot takes for clicks. No filler. Just the stories that matter, the guests who know them best, and a community of people who get it.

"The most important stories in sports — for the people who actually care about them."

The Glue Guy Podcast is hosted by Cannon Simmons. Married with one son, works in education, and has been a sports fan his entire life. He started this show because he wanted what didn't exist — a weekly sports podcast that respects your time and your intelligence.
