Inside CJ Stroud’s Rise to Superstardom
November 17, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutesNine games into CJ Stroud’s NFL career, and he’s already taking the league by storm.

November 15, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutesColorado’s final home game of the 2023 season ended in agony last Saturday, a heart-wrenching 34-31 defeat — their fourth in a row — at the paws of the Arizona Wildcats.

But with Deion Sanders taking over a program that won one game a year ago, what does a successful season really look like for them? So today, as the sun set...

So today as Kansas, and their coach Bill Self – the highest paid coach in the sport – prepare to take on Kentucky, Paula Lavigne joins us to talk about how corporate America, the Federal Government, and ...

November 13, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutesWeek 10 gave us some of the craziest finishes of the NFL season.

Battlefields to Ballfields: How Veterans are Helping Solve the Sports Officiating Crisis (ENCORE)
November 07, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutesFew jobs are more thankless than that of the referee. At best, your existence is completely invisible. No one notices when you do a terrific job. At worst, you become enemy #1 for fans or coaches or in lower levels, angry parents. Combine that with low pay and high pressure, and it's no wonder why officiating is undergoing a crisis at the moment. Not enough people are willing to do the job –– a job without which, the games quite literally cannot go on. But, today, ahead of Veteran’s Day weeke...

A small handful of players publicly refused to participate in their team’s respective Pride Night, citing their re...
Fire Canada: The Story Behind the NFL’s New Favorite Meme

Men’s College Basketball Looks a Lot Different This Year. Here’s Why
November 01, 2023 09:00 - 30 minutesAnother season of men’s college basketball is upon us…and we really don’t know what to make of it.

So today, Myron Medcalf returns to give us some clarity as the marathon towards Ma...
Zach Lowe Explains the New NBA Tournament
October 31, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutesThe rhythms of the NBA regular season have been remarkably consistent since the 82-game schedule was introduced in the 1960s –– a grueling six-month march toward the playoffs, where, from night to night, the importance of any one game can often feel pretty negligible. But this year, the league is shaking things up. Enter the In-Season Tournament, a five-week-long competition running alongside the regular season, and tipping off this Friday. The World Cup-style format starts with group play a...

Jeff Passan’s 2023 World Series Preview
October 27, 2023 09:00 - 30 minutesWhen the baseball season got underway, the World Series favorites were: big market juggernauts like the Yankees, Dodgers, Padres, and Mets; annual contenders like the Braves, and Astros; and plucky dark horses like the Phillies and Blue Jays.

Brian Windhorst Sizes up the Two Beasts in the NBA’s East
October 25, 2023 09:00 - 25 minutesThe NBA’s Eastern Conference looks very, very different than it did just a few weeks ago. The Milwaukee Bucks rocked the basketball universe by shipping off Jrue Holiday to Portland in exchange for Damian Lillard, who everyone assumed would eventually end up on the Miami Heat. Holiday, meanwhile, found his way to Boston after the Celtics had already added Kristaps Porzingis. The result is two Eastern Conference powers who seem to be on a collision course. But is the NBA ever really that simpl...
Brian Windhorst Breaks Down the NBA’s Wild Western Conference
October 24, 2023 09:00 - 22 minutesEveryone’s favorite real-life soap opera, the NBA, is officially back tonight! And the moves this offseason have shaken up the league.

Ryan McGee’s Mid-Season College Football Check-In
October 20, 2023 09:00 - 32 minutesThis college football season has been full of excitement, and not always from the places we’ve grown to expect.

Bill Barnwell on Why The NFL Trade Market Is Heating Up
October 19, 2023 09:00 - 28 minutesThroughout the sports world, trade deadlines tend to be one of the most reliable generators of storylines and intrigue.

But historically, the NFL had kept major player movement to the offseason, making for a largely inactive deadline — until recently, that is. Last year, we saw the ...
What’s Behind Ja Morant’s Off-Court Struggles?
October 18, 2023 09:00 - 29 minutesJa Morant has been an NBA superstar since pretty much the night he was drafted. A young, overlooked, and under recruited point guard that drew Damian Lillard comparisons when he was the No. 2 pick coming out of Murray State, the expectations for Morant were high and he has exceeded every single one of them … on the court. But despite his limitless basketball potential, Morant’s behavior off the court has become not just a distraction, but problematic. So today, a week ahead of the Grizzlie...
Inside the NFL Turf Debate
October 17, 2023 09:00 - 24 minutesStop us if you’ve seen this before: a star NFL player falls down on a turf field –– sometimes without contact –– and clutches his knee or calf before being helped off the field.

That cycle played out most recently when Aaron Rodgers’ tore his achilles just four plays into his Jets debut. But just how much is turf really to blame for these inju...

October 16, 2023 09:00 - 31 minutesThere are no unbeaten teams left six weeks into the 2023 NFL season. But there are still plenty of questions about every team in the league.

Why doesn’t Lamar Jackson look like he used to? Is this really what the Patriots season is going to be? Kevin Clark, host of This is Football, joins the show to provide answers to these quest...

Ramona Shelburne Decodes NBA Media Day
October 04, 2023 09:00 - 30 minutesNBA Media Day is the unofficial start to the NBA season, and in a lot of ways it’s like the first day of school.

Going Green: The History of Notre Dame's Special Jerseys, from Rockne to Today
