⭐ FEATURED CHAPTER:

📡 LeBRON JAMES VS MEMPHIS | Timestamp: 40:19

LeBron was caught on camera at a golf course suggesting the Memphis Grizzlies should move to Nashville — right after using the Lorraine Motel and Civil Rights Museum to market his own brand. Memphis fired back immediately. The D.A. draws direct parallels to LeBron leaving Cleveland and the economic damage that followed. DW raises the Nashville business ownership angle. Kevin moderates a sharp, no-narrative panel discussion on athlete responsibility and community impact. As The D.A. said plainly — "Successful people deal in solutions. They don't deal in problems."

⭐ FEATURED CHAPTER

📡 LEBRON JAMES VS MEMPHIS — THE GRIZZLIES RELOCATION CONTROVERSY

Timestamp: 40:19

LeBron James was recorded at a golf course suggesting the Memphis Grizzlies should move to Nashville — and Memphis responded with FIRE. This segment is one of the most electric discussions in Episode 497 history. Kevin, D-Dubbz, and The D.A. break down the hypocrisy of using the Lorraine Motel and Civil Rights Museum to build your personal brand and then publicly dismissing the city and its community. The D.A. draws direct parallels to LeBron's departure from Cleveland and the economic impact that followed. DW raises the Nashville business angle — is this calculated future ownership positioning? The panel delivers sharp, objective, no-narrative analysis on the disconnect between superstar athletes and the communities that support them. As The D.A. put it — "Successful people deal in solutions. They don't deal in problems."

Episode 495 is everything. The Final Four is set. The playoff races are on fire. And four-time Sports Chasers guest Coach Jared Zeidman is back — this time breaking down the most unpredictable NCAA tournament weekend in years, including what he calls a "one in a billion" final play in the Duke-UConn Elite Eight.

🏀 NCAA BREAKDOWN w/ COACH JARED ZEIDMAN

Braylon Mullins' 35-foot buzzer-beater dissected. Men's Final Four predictions: Michigan vs the field. Women's Final Four — all four #1 seeds for only the 5th time ever. And the hard truth: has NIL completely undone the competitive progress of Division I women's basketball?

🏒 ICE COLD FACTS w/ DAN K. THE HOCKEY DUDE

16 days left in the NHL regular season | Ovechkin 13 goals from Gretzky | Leafs fire GM Treliving | Goalie fight at MSG | Sabres hit 100 points | The case for 1-through-8 playoff seeding

🏀 THE CROSSOVER w/ RYAN DeSouza

Knicks under Mike Brown — playoff strategy or disrespecting the regular season? Jalen Brunson's shoot-first dilemma. Mikhail Bridges needs a pass-first PG. Pistons' historic turnaround. WNBA Expansion Draft: Portland Fire & Toronto Tempo reshape the league.

⭐ HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER

🕐 19:50 — "NIL Has Undone Women's Basketball" | Coach Jared Zeidman drops data showing 4 of the 6 highest-budgeted women's programs are in the Final Four. Three of four spent over $10 million. His verdict: NIL has created a "Coke and Pepsi versus everybody" dynamic that's making the tournament less competitive and less exciting. This is the most important 6 minutes in women's college basketball all year.

⚖️ EPISODE 494 | THE INTERVIEW SESSIONS | SPORTS CHASERS PODCAST

Recorded: March 30, 2026 | Powered by Sports Chasers Media Group

What REALLY happens before a federal indictment? How do NIL contracts

put young athletes at legal risk? And what did the Chauncey Billups &

Terry Rozier federal gambling arrests reveal about the intersection of

pro sports and organized crime?

Host Kevin L. Warren sits down with Jonathan Osborne — former Assistant

United States Attorney, white collar defense attorney, and former

Division I basketball player — for one of the most important

conversations in Sports Chasers history.

Jonathan breaks down how federal cases are ACTUALLY built — starting

years before any arrest, built from low-level cooperators upward, and

relying heavily on cooperation. He explains hidden stages before

indictment, how to respond to subpoenas, and what defense counsel must

do when the media is already running the story. They cover sports

betting's legal danger zones, the $2.576B House v. NCAA NIL settlement,

NIL contract risks for young athletes, and why colleges hiring former

federal prosecutors signals serious enforcement ahead.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌟 HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔍 Federal Investigation Myths Debunked | ⏱️ 08:14

Jonathan shatters the biggest myth in law — that a federal arrest

means an investigation just started. Cases build quietly for years

from the bottom up. A must-listen for athletes, executives, and

anyone in high-stakes environments.

🎙️ Sports Chasers Podcast — Episode 493 | The Weekend Rewind

Hosted by Kevin L. Warren | Powered by Sports Chasers Media Group LLC

Kevin L. Warren opens Episode 493 with a rare on-air accountability moment — 

publicly correcting his Episode 492 statement about NBA ratings. Ryan DeSouza 

was right: the NBA's numbers ARE up. Kevin owns it without excuses. But then 

he pivots to the ARGUMENT — backed by three reporters from The Athletic — 

that MLB has quietly passed the NBA as America's No. 2 sport in fan polls, 

World Series viewership, and cultural momentum. The data is undeniable.

The D.A., D-Dubbz, and James "The Angry1" Warren join Kevin for the full Weekend 

Rewind breakdown — and tonight's show is STACKED.

IN THIS EPISODE:

▪ On-air retraction — what accountability looks like on a real sports show

▪ MLB vs NBA — The Athletic's March 26, 2026 data breakdown

▪ NBA G-League pipeline problems — two-way contracts failing players

▪ Tiger Woods DUI arrest — 4th incident, still won't hire a driver

▪ NFL professional flag football league — Brady, Manning, Serena Williams investing

▪ Kyle Shanahan roasts the NFL's Australia game plan

▪ MLB ABS robot umpire debut — 62% of challenges overturned on Day 1

▪ Blue Jays set MLB record: 50 strikeouts in 3-game opening series

▪ UConn stuns Duke with Braylon Mullins' 35-foot buzzer beater — Final Four set

▪ Houston Comets return — $300M sale, Toyota Center 2027

American soccer development is broken by pay-to-play — and Alex Lubyansky has built a solution.

In this episode of The Interview Sessions, Sports Chasers host Kevin L. Warren sits down with Alex Lubyansky — former University of Michigan goalkeeper, 2005 MPSL National Championship MVP, European pro club operator, practicing attorney, and Head Coach/GM of Detroit Metro FC — to unpack how wealth, not ability, controls access to elite soccer in the United States and what Detroit Metro FC is doing to change that.

Detroit Metro FC is 100% free for players, privately funded, sponsor-supported, and merit-based from tryout to cut. Alex Lubyansky discusses the structural breakdown of the American soccer system, the power of Europe's promotion/relegation model, the reality behind MLS star signings, the Merit Cup ($10,000 to any team that beats them), conservative NIL compliance, and why building in public is the blueprint for a better American soccer future.

⭐ FEATURED CHAPTER: [17:12] Promotion & Relegation Explained

Alex Lubyansky breaks down why Europe's structure creates genuine accountability at every level of football and why the absence of pro/rel in America kills competitive incentives and long-term development.

⚾ THE CHASERS DUGOUT REPORT | EPISODE 490

🎙️ Host & Moderator: KEVIN L. WARREN and Co-Host D-DUBBZ

ft. MLB Resident Expert & Sports Chasers #1 Contributor — ALVIN CLAWSON

📅 Sports Chasers Podcast | Pre-Recorded Saturday, March 21, 2026

🇻🇪🏆 VENEZUELA MAKES HISTORY — STUNS TEAM USA 3–2 IN THE 2026 WBC FINAL!

On this Saturday edition of The Chasers Dugout Report, host and moderator Kevin L. Warren leads co-host D Dubs and Sports Chasers' #1 MLB Contributor Alvin Clawson through a complete breakdown of Venezuela's stunning championship run at the 2026 World Baseball Classic — and a full preview of the 2026 MLB season.

Tournament MVP Maikel Garcia delivered with a .385 average and 7 RBI. Eugenio Suárez's go-ahead RBI double in the 9th inning was the dagger. Wilyer Abreu launched a 414-foot homer off USA starter Nolan McLean. And despite arguably the best pitching staff ever assembled for a WBC — Team USA's bats went ice cold. Aaron Judge went 0-for-4 with 3 strikeouts. Bryce Harper batted .214. Alex Bregman hit .143. Stunning.

Kevin leads the crew in debating whether the WBC should move to the All-Star break, discussing the emotional meaning of Venezuela's win amid political turmoil — where the government declared a national holiday — and how Venezuela's gassed bullpen somehow closed out the title on back-to-back nights.

Then it's all 2026 MLB. Alvin drops his FULL division winner picks (Dodgers, Reds, Mets, Tigers, Mariners, Toronto), sleeper teams (Pirates & A's), and MVP favorites (Ohtani & Judge). The panel digs into MLB's new ABS Challenge System (robot umps), Netflix's Opening Night exclusive (Yankees vs. Giants, March 25), the streaming wars, blackout frustrations, and why regional sports networks are dying.

This is baseball the way it should be — passionate, informed, unfiltered.

52:13 🏆 THIS IS THE ONE YOU CAME FOR.

Host Kevin L. Warren hands the mic to Sports Chasers' #1 MLB 

Contributor Alvin Clawson for his FULL 2026 MLB Division Winner 

picks, the sleeper teams flying under the radar (Pirates & A's), 

and his MVP favorites — Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. 

Pure expert analysis. No filler. If you want to win your fantasy 

league and sound smarter than everyone at the bar, 

jump straight to 52:13.

🔴 SPORTS CHASERS PODCAST — EPISODE 489 | THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE

Thursday, March 19, 2026 | Powered by Sports Chasers Media Group

Venezuela are your 2026 World Baseball Classic Champions! Eugenio 

Suárez delivered a walk-off double in the 9th to stun Team USA 3-2 

in one of the most dramatic finales in WBC history. Maikel Garcia 

named MVP. Bryce Harper's jaw-dropping 8th-inning bomb almost saved 

Team USA — but it wasn't enough. We break it all down TONIGHT!

PLUS — the WNBA just made history with a landmark seven-year CBA 

deal — salary cap jumping from $1.5 million to $7 million overnight. 

MLB signs a controversial $150M-$300M exclusive prediction market 

deal with Polymarket. March Madness brackets are LIVE and already 

bleeding. The NHL playoff race is heating up. The NBA is on absolute 

fire. And special guest A.M. Pfeffer — co-host of Beyond The Surface 

on the X-Rayted Sports Network — joins the Chasers panel live to go 

deeper than any headline on every single one of these stories.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⭐ MOST SIGNIFICANT CHAPTER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎰 33:20 — MLB's Controversial $300M Polymarket Prediction Market Deal

MLB just signed a multiyear exclusive deal with Polymarket worth 

between $150M and $300M — making baseball the latest major league 

to embrace prediction markets. But with Arizona filing criminal 

charges against rival platform Kalshi just two days before the 

announcement — is MLB being visionary or signing with the devil? 

Kevin, A.M. Pfeffer, and the full panel go DEEP on the business, 

the integrity risk, and what this means for the future of sports.

🏆 SPORTS CHASERS PODCAST | THE INTERVIEW SESSIONS — EP. 487

He created the format. Now he's IN the seat.

Dorian Albritton Jr. — the former Super Producer of Sports Chasers Media Group and the architect behind The Interview Sessions — joins host Kevin L. Warren for a conversation that goes far deeper than sports. This one is personal. This one is about legacy, leadership, and what it truly means to think like a leader before you ever carry the title.

Dorian Jr. was the creative force behind the one-on-one interview format that has now produced 100+ conversations, replacing the large live panel model with something far more intentional and intimate. Now, as a master's student in Industrial-Organizational Psychology at George Mason University and host of the Think Like a Leader podcast, he's building his next chapter — one framework, one system, and one leader at a time.

🎧 IN THIS EPISODE:

→ The origin story of The Interview Sessions — straight from the man who built it

→ Growing up in the Bronx, relocating to North Carolina, and navigating two worlds

→ His basketball journey from Davidson Day through VMI, King University, and UNC Charlotte

→ Why he left Sports Chasers and what purpose he found on the other side

→ The Think Like a Leader podcast — mission, message, and who it's built for

→ The Four Ds Framework: Do, Date, Delegate, Delete

→ Self-trust vs. self-awareness — and which one actually moves the needle

→ How weekly resets and Notion eliminate mental overload

→ Leading before the title — and what that really requires

→ The father-son dynamic with Dorian Albritton Sr. — "The D.A." himself

→ A Rapid Fire Round that gets raw and real fast

📌 HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER — MUST LISTEN:

⏱️ 26:21 — Lead Before The Title

This is the moment that defines the entire episode. Dorian Jr. shares the workplace story that rewired his entire understanding of leadership — the difference between a manager and a true leader — and why humanity in management is the most underrated skill in the game.
