  • 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!

Is There Question of Who's Going No. 1 in the NBA Draft?
Q: Emery Hunt: How would Brendan Sorsby's legs translate to NFL potential and what are the red flags?
Hunt notes Sorsby's athleticism and mobility, but cautions about his delayed throwing timing and footwork under pressure, which could hinder accuracy in the NFL; he also discusses betting-related concerns and the risk that organizations may avoid tendering a pick due to off-field issues.
Is There Question of Who's Going No. 1 in the NBA Draft?
Q: Abdalla Ayubi, Locked On Wizards: What is the latest from DC on who the Wizards will take at number one?
Ayubi explains that most people believe DeBansa (AJ DeBonsa) goes number one, but there are competing opinions and rumors about Darren Peterson; the Wizards could value a high ceiling, but the conversation remains unsettled with potential trades and team needs surrounding Trey Young and Anthony Davis.
Can the San Antonio Spurs win at a raucous Madison Square Garden tonight?
Q: Who do you think has the momentum heading into tonight's game?
The Knicks have momentum from strong road wins and a louder home crowd; the Spurs need a sharp, mistake-free start to swing the energy.
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.
