Spiegel & Holmes Show

Ya’ll hear about this Saudi Arabian blood money league trying to put the PGA Tour out of business? Noted bad guy Phil Mickelson knows how bad the Saudi government is, but he's still entertaining an offer. Yikes! Then, Marquee Sports Network play-by-play man Jon "Boog" Sciambi checks in during this lockout.

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by FanGraphs writer Kevin Goldstein, who has been in both the media and in MLB front offices. He let us know if we should, in fact, be panicking about the MLB lockout. Then, what’s the worst advice your significant other gives when you’re just not feeling your best? Danny’s wife thinks water solves everything, and Spiegs’ just tells him to go to bed. Also, Wanny isn't going to be on with us today because he’s … doing something.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show talking Bulls. It’s absolutely too soon to rule the Bulls out, injuries or otherwise – especially with the Kobe-esque statistical season that star forward DeMar DeRozan is putting up.

We check on our overnight man with a Mark Grote morning coffee check-in. There has been ANOTHER moment of gold, resulting in a restless few days for Grote.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by NBC Sports Chicago pregame/postgame co-host Kendall Gill to discuss the NBA playoff picture and the Bulls' plague of injuries.

A report indicated Deshaun Watson might be trying to come to the NFC North. Danny Parkins believes that’s not something you want, Bears fans. Neither in Green Bay nor Minnesota.

Danny Parkins needs to exact revenge on a neighbor. What’s the most creative way you’ve made someone on your block feel your wrath? Shane’s dad calls in with some all-time ideas for frustrating your neighbors. Then, it looks like there are some lessons that MLB can learn from the NFL. Later, we check on our overnight man with a Mark Grote morning coffee check-in. There has been ANOTHER moment of gold, resulting in a restless few days for Grote.

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel pondered a question: Is baseball’s problem even fixable? Cocaine is back and when you’re young and rich, there’s no ceiling for resources. MLB has a problem on its hands, but it’s much larger than that. Then, a report indicated that quarterback Deshaun Watson might be trying to come to the NFC North. Danny explained that’s not something you want, Bears fans. Also, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo will be joining Stephen A. Smith on ESPN every Wednesday. It will likely will be gold audio for us. Later, NBC Sports Chicago pregame/postgame co-host Kendall Gill joins the show to discuss the NBA playoff picture and the Bulls' plague of injuries.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by welcoming on former MLB pitcher and current analyst and musician Bronson Arroyo to provide context on both the MLB lockout and the opioid crisis among professional baseball players.
