  • Deener is a jerk

    Terrible personality. Half of the time he’s speaking is just him reading sponsorship ads.

The Deener Show w Drew Deener & @UofLSheriff50 - 05-13-2026 - Hour 1
Q: What are the core changes Marc Spiegel sees as necessary for college sports to stay viable?
Marc argues for moving beyond amateurism toward a professional-like model where players are treated as employees within a framework that includes revenue sharing, strong branding, and strategic partnerships, while universities and coaches adapt to a pro-style economic reality.

Q: What are the biggest challenges facing Louisville baseball this season?

The Deener Show w Drew Deener & @UofLSheriff50 - 04-14-2026 - Hour 2
Q: What do you have to do, though, personally? Is it easier to be an assistant coach and have a family than maybe it would have been in the old format?
Without a doubt, it's easier now due to scheduling flexibility and changes in the pay-for-performance environment, though demands remain high with recruiting and travel.
The Deener Show w Drew Deener & @UofLSheriff50 - 04-29-2026 - Hour 3
Q: What is your toughest beat ever?
The host asks about the toughest betting moment; Dan Cronin recounts a difficult pick six at Saratoga where rain and two MTO horses created a volatile, nerve-wracking scenario but ultimately highlighted the tension and potential payoff of a high-stakes wager.
The Deener Show w Drew Deener & @UofLSheriff50 - 04-27-2026 - Hour 3

The guest explains Renegade's finishing burst and turn of foot, noting his acceleration and ability to close strongly in recent races, which suggests he can handle dirt and distance well if positioned correctly in the Derby.
