Spiegel & Holmes Show

In the third hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel discussed Bears coach Matt Nagy taking a national media victory lap after the organization drafted Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields -- but Nagy isn't talking to the local media. Let’s take a listen back to the interviews he has done over the last week and share our takeaways. Then, we found out that broadcaster Kenny Mayne has parted ways with ESPN and will no longer be hosting "SportsCenter." What’s your favorite Mayne home run call? To finish out the hour, we welcomed on a special guest -- Danny's wife, Steph, who described an unbelievably quick change in her husband from city boy to suburban dad.

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by discussing Bears coach Matt Nagy going on a national media tour. Did the Bears get it right with quarterback Justin Fields? Hard to know if he gets stuck behind Andy Dalton. Also, the Cubs got back to .500 over the weekend while dealing with plenty of injuries that are testing their depth.

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel discussed how Parkins exploited the the show for free labor. What an hour. Parkins moved into his new suburban home this weekend, so, as you do, producers Chris Tannehill and Shane Riordan went over and assembled all of his furniture for him. After that, we talked with Team Valor International owner and head breeder Barry Irwin, who's not a fan of horse trainer Bob Baffert and who worries about doping in horse racing. Later, Kentucky Derby winner/accused cheater Medina Spirit himself joined the show, mid-investigation amid his doping scandal.

In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel continued with the baseball conversation. How do we feel about starting extra innings with a runner on second base? The whole show has changed its tune. Offense = good. Later, we gave another play to Justin Fields Forever, the first track on our album on the Bears' new franchise quarterback.

In the third hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel were joined by Marquee Sports Network play-by-play voice Jon "Boog" Sciambi to discuss the Cubs' 6-5 win against the Dodgers in 11 innings Wednesday and the call he made for outfielder Joc Pederson's bat-flipped sacrifice fly. Later, Score legend Chris Rongey joined the show to discuss whether managers matter in baseball.

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel oversaw a much-anticipated unveiling. It's here. It's the first track of the Justin Fields Forever album. Sorry for the delay. After that, the guys got a chuckle out of the five broadcast calls of Cubs outfielder Joc Pederson bat-flipping in celebration of a sacrifice fly that he thought was going to be a home run in Chicago's win against Los Angeles on Wednesday. Also, there are more rumors regarding Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers' future. There's a chance Rodgers might have told potential free agents last year to not to come to Green Bay because, “I might not be here."

Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel opened their show by welcoming on Dr. Scott Goldman, the director of performance psychology for Athletic Intelligence Measures. He and his company previously administered an aptitude test to new Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who aced it. What does the test entail and how does Goldman grade NFL players? He explained.

In the final hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel continued to break down White Sox manager Tony La Russa's gaffe after making a double-switch late in an eventual 1-0 loss to the Reds in 10 innings. La Russa admitted he didn't know the entirety of the extra-innings rule that has a runner start at second base in each half-inning. It was an absolute mess. Then, the Cubs are on an offensive upswing. Are the bats finding their groove? As always, we ended the show with your questions in the One Last Thing segment.

In the third hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel explained that just when you think the White Sox might be the worst-run franchise in America, here come the Green Bay Packers. After star quarterback Aaron Rodgers said in a private text message group chat that he'd like general manager Brian Gutekunst fired (he even compared him to former Bulls executive Jerry Krause), someone leaked the messages. Later, the crew compared executive producer Shane Riordan and the really, really, really wealthy Bill Gates, two single guys who are going into a "hot boy summer."

In the second hour, Danny Parkins and Matt Spiegel explained how White Sox manager Tony La Russa didn’t know the specifics of an extra-innings rule in his team's 1-0 loss to the Reds in 10 innings this afternoon. La Russa had the rule explained to him in a postgame press conference by a reporter. Will chairman Jerry Reinsdorf ever step in a relieve his friend of his managerial duties?
