  • Sports nuts without lame hot takes

    Been listening to these two for years in Chicago, and am excited to listen to their national show daily. They are actual friends and just talk sports news and zoo news - they don’t do lame sports takes for clicks, which makes them way better to listen to. Give them a shot! Their old station is already missing their magic touch!

SGA Getting a Free Pass?
Q: What did you think about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander sitting the fourth quarter in a crucial game?
The host and guests expressed strong disappointment, arguing that a reigning MVP should be on the floor in crunch time and criticizing the decision as unacceptable and damaging to his legacy.
Will Patrick Mahomes be ready to start the season?
Q: Will Patrick Mahomes be ready for OTAs at the end of this month?
The consensus leaned toward Mahomes being ready for week one, with OTAs as a potential earlier check but not the definitive measure of readiness.
Did Los Angeles Rams quarterback Ty Simpson lie to us?

The hosts discuss that Simpson initially said no, but later comments suggested there were conversations and 'secret meetings,' leading to questions about whether he knew and whether he was following a script.
Is Jalen Brunson the New York Knicks' fatal flaw?
Q: What is the core concern about Jalen Brunson in this series?
The hosts argue Brunson is a liability on defense and that teams will continuously target him, which could derail the Knicks unless other players compensate with strong defense.
