In today’s episode, Tom examines the growing issue of “tanking” in professional and college sports, including new NBA efforts to discourage teams from intentionally losing and ongoing concerns about players sitting out for financial or draft-related reasons. He revisits the situation surrounding Kansas freshman standout Darryn Peterson and raises broader questions about motivation, loyalty, and the shifting priorities in modern athletics.

The episode also touches on the controversial firing of Kansas State basketball coach Jerome Tang and what it reveals about contracts, accountability, and money in sports. Drawing from Scripture, Tom closes by encouraging listeners to approach their work—whether in athletics or everyday life—with sincerity, integrity, and wholehearted effort.
