One MLB team has seen enough before the end of April---firing its manager and 5 other members of the staff Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

-Jake has shown frustration about the Royals start to the year, even with them starting to show life—but the Boston Red Sox are also

off to a bad start, and GM Craig Breslow has seen enough

-Despite beating Baltimore 17-1 on Saturday, manager Alex Cora and 5 members of the staff were fired just 27 games into the season,

with a 10-17 record. That is the equivalent to firing your NFL coach essentially right before their 3 rd game of the season….

A further look at the schools with no draft picks this year shows that perhaps one coach should be praised more than he was last season Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

-Virginia went 11-3 last year and lost the ACC title game to Duke…but had ZERO draft picks. That’s a really impressive season without

NFL talent…Tony Elliott should get more praise for what he did last year

-Other schools with no drafted players, and their record last year: Colorado (3-9); North Carolina (4-8); OK State (1-11); Purdue (2-10);

Syracuse (3-9); UCLA (3-9); VA Tech (3-9); West Virginia (4-8); and Wisconsin (4-8)….and then there’s Virginia…

2027 Husker commit Trae Taylor offers a look into how current NIL situations go…/ Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

-Taylor was talking with On3’s Pete Nakos at the Rivals Camp Series in Nashville this weekend and discussed his NIL situation with

Nebraska, saying schools call him everyday to offer him more money but he will be getting $500K+ from Nebraska in year 1, which is

the floor apparently for top prospects at the moment

-Taylor also mentioned that not everyone looks at just the money, but some do to support their families….crazy for an 18-year-old…

Texas Tech, we have a problem---Brendan Sorsby is taking an immediate and indefinite leave of absence due to a gambling addiction Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

-News broke yesterday morning that Sorsby---one of the biggest names from the portal and someone Nebraska faced last year for

Cincinnati---would be taking time away from the team and football to try and get himself clean from excessive gambling

-On3’s Pete Nakos reported that Sorsby made bets on Indiana in 2022 when he was on the team there, and sources told Nakos that

Sorsby attended some Cincinnati Reds baseball games and would bet anywhere from $2.50 to less than $1 per pitch on if it would be a

ball or strike…you wonder how some of these athletes handle the big amounts of money they receive in NIL/player compensation…

How do you prepare for an “uncapped world” when it comes to NIL, as Troy Dannen alluded to on Friday? Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

-Nebraska’s AD met with reporters on Friday morning with more discussion on the Big Red Rebuild---which Regents approved with their vote---

and discussed more on what the future looks like for NIL and paying athletes

-Dannen said the days of NIL like what we saw with 1890 are already a thing of the past and not even allowed anymore---but also said that

Nebraska needs to plan for an uncapped world in player compensation and will do what they can in that regard. Sounds like this will continue to

get crazier and crazier with compensation…?
