Spiegel & Holmes Show

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel debated whether Bears general manager Ryan Pace has shown enough to prove he’s worthy of being "bumped up" in the organization to president of football operations. Opinions on this show differ. Also, White Sox general manager Rick Hahn spoke earlier in the day after the signings of reliever Kendall Graveman and utilityman Leury Garcia became official. Spiegs got another question in on Hahn's Zoom call, and of course Parkins found a way to accidentally involve himself. Also, there's drama in executive producer Shane Riordan's apartment building regarding a dog waste bin on the front porch.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by discussing how Parkins is upset that he missed out on the "Ask a Jew" segment Tuesday. But can a Jewish guy who got Christmas presents as a child really be considered fully Jewish? And who’s your favorite candidate to replace Bears coach Matt Nagy? Let’s talk about an offensive coordinator who isn't getting enough hype.

In the third hour, Matt Spiegel was joined by Score football expert Hub Arkush, who shared that he has a trusted source who told him that Chicago Bears chairman George McCaskey still hasn’t made up his mind on the future of coach Matt Nagy and his staff. We also discussed Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields' health as he deals with broken ribs. There's no chance he can play this week, right? Later, Adam Kramer of Bleacher Report joined the show to discuss Brian Kelly leaving Notre Dame to coach LSU, the state of college football and where the hell all of this MONEY is coming from.

In the second hour, Matt Spiegel discussed how the Chicago Bulls’ big three found their groove in a win against the Charlotte Hornets in the Ball Bowl on Monday evening.

Also, the Cubs have made another free-agent "splash," this time adding outfielder Clint Frazier. What? And Brian Kelly is leaving Notre Dame to coach LSU. So Spiegs reminds you why Kelly is such a bad guy.

Flying solo with Danny Parkins out, Matt Spiegel opened his show by reacting to what some in the crew found to be absolutely horrible news -- Leury Garcia is returning to the White Sox on a three-year deal. Yikes! There’s no way that Garcia should play the most innings at second base for the team in 2022. Also, reliever Kendall Graveman was introduced to White Sox fans and media earlier in the day. What can the South Siders learn from a postseason loss?
