Will the NFL hold Steve Tisch accountable? Feb 12, 2026

Show notes

0:00 NFL and Steve Tisch

29:00 Bulls

36:00 Rockwell Cubs Painting

48:45 Olympic Update

We’re calling on Roger Goodell and the NFL to finally step up and address the serious questions surrounding Giants owner Steve Tisch and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

At this point, there’s enough publicly raised concern for the league to at least remove Tisch from football operations temporarily and launch a full, transparent investigation.

The NFL loves to talk about “protecting the shield” — so here’s the real test: does that commitment apply to owners the same way it applies to players?

On a lighter (or maybe darker?) note… the Chicago Bulls continue to be nearly unwatchable. Proceed with caution, Bulls fans.

We’ve also got an Olympic update — and we’re asking the big question: are we all actually going to care about Olympic hockey?

👉 After a busy deadline where Chicago executed multiple trades and reshaped the roster, here’s who’s now in a Bulls uniform and what each player adds:

✅ New Bulls Additions (Post-Deadline):

• Jaden Ivey – Explosive young guard acquired in a trade with Detroit — a dynamic playmaker to ignite the offense.

• Anfernee Simons – Scoring wing added from Boston, brings deep shooting and quick scoring punch.

• Collin Sexton – Energetic guard with scoring ability, brought in from Charlotte as part of deadline deals.

• Nick Richards – Big man added via three-team trade — size and rim protection for the paint.

• Rob Dillingham – Young guard with high upside coming over from Minnesota.

• Leonard Miller – Versatile forward from the Timberwolves, a developmental piece with size.

• Guerschon Yabusele – Forward added from New York for depth and athleticism.

📊 These moves swapped out key veterans like Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Dalen Terry, Kevin Huerter, and Nikola Vučević — signaling a shift toward youth, flexibility, and future assets.

In this episode Dan and Jason break down:

✔ Who fits best with the Bulls’ core

Chicago Bears - making PROGRESS towards a new stadium in state? Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

0:00 Bears

19:00 Patriots

26:00 Giannis

38:40 Bulls

51:20 White Sox

57:00 Olympic Update

Are the Chicago Bears and the State of Illinois finally making real progress toward a new stadium in Arlington Heights? It’s still early, but signs are pointing in a positive direction for fans who want the team to stay in-state. We break down what’s real, what’s noise, and what it means for the future of the franchise.

Meanwhile, the New England Patriots went into the Super Bowl more banged up than anyone realized. Left tackle Will Campbell revealed he played through a torn ligament in his left knee — and it showed, with a rough outing allowing 14 QB pressures. We take a closer look at the impact.

Over in the NBA, Giannis’ new partnership with Kalshi raises some eyebrows, especially with the timing landing right around the trade deadline. Is it harmless, or is it weird? We dive in.

And the Chicago Bulls… are they good-bad? Fun-bad? Just-bad? Whatever they are, maybe they should just keep on losing.

The White Sox enter a crucial season where they must finally show they can identify real pieces for the future — or risk another reset.

Plus, your 312 Sports Olympic Update!

Seattle won the game - Bad Bunny won the day Feb 09, 2026

0:00 The Game

36:15 Vonn

45:30 Bulls

51:50 Illinois basketball

The Seattle Seahawks took down the New England Patriots 29–13 to claim the championship, but it was Bad Bunny’s electric halftime performance that stole the spotlight. A handful of commercials delivered laughs, though most missed the mark this year.

Elsewhere in sports, Lindsay Vonn’s comeback attempt ended in heartbreak as she crashed just 13 seconds into her medal run. In the NBA, the new‑look Chicago Bulls might actually be fun — as long as they keep stacking losses. And over the weekend, Illinois and Michigan State delivered a great game. The big question now: just how far can Illinois go in this year’s tournament?

We break it all down on today’s show.

Ayo Dosunmu gets TRADED - What's next for the Chicago Bulls? Feb 05, 2026

Show notes

0:00 Bulls Trade

28:15 NFL Coach of the Year

44:20 Skimo

The Chicago Bulls keep dismantling what’s left of their core, this time trading away Ayo Dosunmu for yet more draft picks and players who likely won’t be here when it actually matters.

So… what is the front office’s endgame?

We’re expecting to hear from Artūras Karnišovas this afternoon, and hopefully he can shed some light on whatever “new direction” the organization believes it’s taking.

Meanwhile, over in the NFL, Ben Johnson probably won’t walk away with Coach of the Year tonight — but the honeymoon with Chicago fans and media isn’t ending anytime soon.

Plus: there’s a new Olympic sport we’re fired up to watch — ski mountaineering (a.k.a. skimo) — and yes, it’s exactly as wild as it sounds.

BULLS TRADES - KC Johnson, CHSN Bulls Insider | Bears stadium news Feb 04, 2026

50:00 "Pitching Prospects"

1:02:00 Three Dog Night

With the Bulls making moves ahead of the NBA trade deadline, we caught up with CHSN Bulls insider K.C. Johnson to break down everything happening behind the scenes.

Plus, the Bears are back in the headlines with their ongoing stadium drama. There’s even a rally scheduled next week for Illinois residents who want to keep the team from bolting to Indiana — but honestly, maybe Cook County taxpayers should want the Bears to pack up and let Indiana deal with the financial headache.

With the Super Bowl this weekend, we’re painfully reminded that the Bears’ season ended way too early. It still stings.

We also react to ESPN’s Top 200 MLB Prospects list, including where Cubs and White Sox talent landed. And seriously… is the term “pitching prospect” even real? At the major-league level, either you can pitch or you can’t.

And to wrap things up, we talk about the legendary band Three Dog Night.

BULLS TRADES - Vucevic sent to Boston | Huerter and Saric go to Detroit Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

The Chicago Bulls are shaking up the roster ahead of the NBA trade deadline and today delivered two huge moves.

Chicago has traded Nikola Vucevic to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Anfernee Simons and a second‑round pick. Shortly after, the Bulls pulled off another deal, sending Kevin Huerter and newly acquired Dario Šarić to the Detroit Pistons for explosive young guard Jaden Ivey.

This all came as part of a three‑team structure that also involved Minnesota. The Timberwolves shipped Mike Conley to Chicago, while Detroit sent a protected 2026 first‑round pick to Minnesota.

Big names. Bold moves. The Bulls are officially all‑in on retooling the roster.
