  • Awful

    Listen to him on the radio, he rarely speaks on sports and it’s all politics. Which he doesn’t know much about that either, every other show is miles better.

Hour 1: MLB is Here
Q: Dexter in Arkansas asks whether Aaron Judge's slump is real or just opening-day nerves.

Hour 1: Wemby MVP?
Q: Well coach, you're on a national radio program. Talk a little more about Madison Booker and what makes her game special.
Schaefer praised Booker for her efficient shooting, high shooting percentage, strong rebounding, and exceptional decision-making, noting she operates with a high basketball IQ and leadership that elevates teammates. He emphasized her work ethic and ability to perform in high-pressure moments.
Hour 1: Florida Goes Home
Q: How do you see the World Baseball Classic impacting the MLB season and player workloads?
Sabathia said the WBC fuels excitement and showcases different styles, but he cautioned about managing players' pitch counts and scheduling to avoid overuse early in the season.
Hour 1: Florida Goes Home
Q: What are your thoughts on the closing sequence of the Iowa-Florida game and the decision-making at the end of regulation?
The panel argued the end-of-game decisions were borderline for changing the outcome, with some calling for more decisive coaching calls and others defending the on-court execution given the chaotic scramble for a final shot.
Hour 1: Muse of Professional Sports
Q: Do you think Team USA will energize fans the same way if they win the tournament?
The hosts suggest that even with a win, Team USA's impact on broad fan enthusiasm may be limited by how fans connect with the personalities and the way the team presents itself.
