Frank Thomas SNUBBED by the White Sox | Bulls Trade | NFL must investigate Steve Tisch Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

0:00 NFL and Steve Tisch

The NFL is facing major pressure after New York Giants co‑owner Steve Tisch was named in the newly released Epstein documents. At minimum, the league must launch an investigation — and if Roger Goodell and the other owners choose to look the other way, it says everything about the NFL’s private club of leadership.

Meanwhile in Chicago, the White Sox managed to snub their greatest player ever. Frank Thomas — “The Big Hurt” himself — called out the team on social media after they celebrated Black History Month without acknowledging the most iconic player in franchise history. And yes, he let them know how he felt.

The Bulls kinda‑sorta made a trade (classic).

Illinois picks up a huge win over No. 5 Nebraska.

And of course, we’ve got our DBU picks for today.

Let’s get into it.

Victor Wembanyama, "a cost that's too great for me right now". Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

0:00 Victor Wembanyama

24:40 College Sports

47:40 Chicago Bulls Trades

NBA star Victor Wembanyama opened up about everything happening in Minnesota right now — but also held back, admitting he’s hesitant to fully speak his mind as a foreign player unsure of the possible consequences.

Meanwhile, the world of college sports is shifting fast. Football and basketball — the biggest revenue‑generating sports — may be crumbling as the entire NCAA structure continues to deteriorate. Is the NCAA finally paying the price for years of being accused of operating like a “slave labor cartel”? We break it all down.

Plus, Dan discovered a new music artist he’s excited to share with the show: Tyler Ballgame.

The Seahawks and Patriots will meet in Super Whatever Bowl | Bulls lose to LA Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

0:00 Super Bowl

15:00 bears recovery meds

27:45 Bulls

35:25 White Sox

58:45 Weapons

Super Bowl 60 is set: Patriots vs. Seahawks… and honestly, we couldn’t care less. The ads don’t excite us anymore, the matchup doesn’t move the needle, and the hype just isn’t hyping.

Meanwhile, the Bulls sleepwalked through a loss to the Lakers — a game where they barely showed up.

The White Sox signed a pitcher, which… sure, okay.

And over in winter sports, the ski‑jumping world is dealing with a wild controversy involving athletes getting measured for their suits.

Oh — and in Matt's new segment "at the movies", he almost spoiled Weapons for everyone.

Another day in sports and chaos.
