πŸŽ™οΈ Intro & Local Beat

The boys christen the new studio ("The Home of the Don Father") and preview the Bristol Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony happening this Friday at the DoubleTree.

  • The Plan: The crew will be live in the foyer interviewing inductees.
  • Class of '25 Mentions: Brian Archibald, Tom Dickow, Andrew Freemuth, and David Hernandez.

⚾ MLB Awards & Hot Stove

  • The MVP Debate: Aaron Judge secures his 3rd MVP. The hosts dismantle the "East Coast Bias" argument from Mariners fans (Cal Raleigh), noting Judge's OPS dominance.
  • Yankees Moves: Discussion on the re-signing of Ryan Yarbrough and rumors surrounding Japanese slugger Murakami.

πŸ€ NBA: Mavs Meltdown & Wemby

  • Dallas "Dumpster Fire": The hosts roast the Mavericks' front office and the failed chemistry between Luka and Kyrie.
  • The Wemby Question: Is Victor Wembanyama a top-5 talent? Yes. Will he ever stay healthy enough to prove it? The Don Father says "No."

🏈 Feature: Angry J’s Bracket Challenge

The Scenario: It is 4th & 1. You are the linebacker in the hole. Which RB (post-1980) do you least want to tackle?

  • The Matchups: Heavy hitters like Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson, and Bo Jackson.
  • The Final: Bo Jackson vs. Earl Campbell.
  • The Champion: Earl Campbell (The Tyler Rose). The consensus: other backs might embarrass you, but Earl would run through you.

🏈 NFL & Coaching Carousel

  • Giants: Heavy criticism for Brian Daboll regarding blown 4th-quarter leads and exposing Daniel Jones to injury.
  • Steelers: Is Mike Tomlin "Captain Average"? The crew debates if 9-8 seasons are enough.
  • Pitt’s Legacy: A nod to the University of Pittsburgh football program (Marino, Dorsett, Donald, Revis) climbing the all-time NFL talent rankings.

🧠 "Say What?" Trivia

The crew tries to identify famous football quotes:

  • "Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon." β€” John Madden
  • "I'm in favor of it." (On his team's execution) β€” John McKay
  • "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." β€” Joe Theismann
