Cinderella WHO? The Coaches are the Stars

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 07:29:00 -0000

3.22.26 John Mallory dives into the shifting landscape of college hoops, a massive quarterback shakeup in the NFL, and why baseball fans should be circling their calendars for the earliest Opening Day in history.

John kicks off the show by breaking down the first two rounds of the 2026 NCAA Tournament. While we saw sparks of drama—including #9 Iowa’s shocking upset of #1 Florida and #11 Texas taking down #3 Gonzaga—the "Big Dance" felt different this year.

The Death of the Cinderella: For the second consecutive year, seeds 13 through 16 went winless in the first round. Is NIL and the Transfer Portal officially killing the mid-major underdog?
Tournament Reform: Should the NCAA scrap automatic bids for conference tournament winners to ensure the highest-quality field, or is that a "death blow" to the spirit of March?
Why the "Death of the Cinderella" is Good: John explains why a bracket dominated by powerhouses and consistent rosters might actually be better for the long-term health and viewership of the sport.

The Eligibility Debate: One-and-Done vs. The 3-Year Rule Would college basketball be more sustainable if it adopted the MLB model? Ballgame weighs the pros and cons of allowing athletes to go straight to the NBA from high school versus requiring a three-year college commitment. Imagine the consistency of elite programs if stars stayed long enough to become household names.

MLB Opening Day: The Best Day in Sports With the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants set to kick off the season on March 25, John explains why Major League Baseball owns the best Opening Day in professional sports. From the pageantry to the "clean slate" hope of all 30 teams, find out why this year’s earliest-ever traditional start feels like a national holiday.

Kyler Murray to the Minnesota Vikings? The Arizona Cardinals have moved on, and Kyler Murray heads to the Twin Cities. John discusses if Murray is the veteran answer for Kevin O'Connell’s offense and how his presence changes the trajectory for J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings' playoff hopes in the NFC North.

March… Mildness?... WRONG!!!!!

3.22.26 From historic NBA scoring marks to the madness of the NCAA tournament and the wild spending of NFL Free Agency, John Lund breaks down the stories shaping the sports world this week.

John kicks off the show with a rapid-fire look at the biggest headlines across the NBA, MLB, and College Sports:

NBA Greatness: Following a historic 60-point triple-double, has Luka Doncic officially cemented his status as the cornerstone of the Lakers? Plus, we weigh in on Kevin Durant passing MJ and LeBron James passing Robert Parish—which milestone is more impressive?
Injury Report: The impact of Cade Cunningham’s collapsed lung on the Pistons' future.
MLB Opening Week: Is it the Dodgers vs. the Field? We discuss the inevitability of a LA dynasty.
Olympic Dreams: The hype behind Flag Football and the dream of seeing Burrow and Brady represent Team USA.
March Madness Chaos: How Iowa State dismantled Kentucky’s $22M NIL roster.

Pitching Ninja Rob Friedman John sits down with FanDuel Sports MLB Analyst Rob Friedman to discuss his new book and the evolving "arms race" in baseball. They debate who holds the title of MLB's best pitcher: Tarik Skubal or Paul Skenes? Plus, a look at how pitchers are using cutting-edge technology to dominate hitters like never before.

The Dodgers Dynasty & The 2027 Lockout Is a Dodgers "three-peat" already a foregone conclusion? John explores if Los Angeles' dominance is ruining the upcoming season and whether a long lockout in 2027 might be the only way to reset the competitive balance.

Coaching the Modern Athlete Can college kids still be coached hard? John reacts to the recent controversies surrounding Mick Cronin and Tom Izzo, questioning if the "old school" approach still works in the era of the transfer portal and NIL.

March Madness with Joe Rexrode The Athletic’s Joe Rexrode joins the show to recap the first weekend of the tournament. From the atmosphere at Nebraska vs. Vanderbilt to identifying which high seeds (Purdue, Virginia, Tennessee) are most vulnerable to an upset.

John closes the show by ranking the most impactful moves of the NFL offseason:

The 5 Best: Why Maxx Crosby’s return and Tyler Linderbaum joining the Raiders are game-changers; how Ken Walker transforms the Chiefs offense; and why the low-risk deals for Tua Tagovailoa and Kyler Murray are brilliant.
The 5 Worst: The Cardinals' questionable signing of Gardner Minshew; the 49ers' injury risks with Evans and Kirk; and why Miami’s deal for Malik Willis might signal a QB hunt in 2027.

2.22.26 John “Ballgame” Mallory kicks off a loaded episode following the historic USA vs. Canada Gold Medal matchup. We explore the tectonic shift in international hockey, the escalating greed in the NFL stadium race, and whether the Kansas City Chiefs have done enough to keep their dynasty alive.

John opens the show by breaking down the sheer significance of the United States’ victory over Canada. This wasn't just a win; it was a statement.

Is the "Monsters of the Midway" era in downtown Chicago officially over? Ballgame dives into the Chicago Bears’ potential move out of the city and what it reveals about the "new age" of sports ownership.

The battle between city infrastructure and billionaire demands.
Why the pursuit of "stadium villages" is alienating die-hard fanbases.

We transition to the gridiron to analyze the 2026 NFL landscape.

The Patrick Mahomes Restructure: Did the Chiefs move enough money around to remain Super Bowl contenders, or are they just kicking the debt down the road?
Cap Space Kings: John identifies the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Chargers as the two teams in prime position to dominate the free-agent market.

Does the NBA have a marketing problem? Ballgame offers a hot take on Victor Wembanyama. While Wemby is a generational talent, John questions if he has the "IT factor" required to draw in casual fans and carry the league’s global brand.

With the NFL offseason looming, John places his bets on where the league’s biggest names will land. Is your team getting a new signal-caller?

Aaron Rodgers → Pittsburgh Steelers
Tua Tagovailoa → Los Angeles Rams

Kyler Murray → Miami Dolphins

Mac Jones → Minnesota Vikings

John tackles the biggest headlines of the week with his signature wit and candor:

Fixing the NBA

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 08:10:00 -0000

2.14.26 Raj Sharan dives deep into NBA All-Star Weekend 2026, and social media is doing what it does best: complaining. But All-Star Weekend is NOT the NBA's biggest problem. Not even close.

Everyone has a list of grievances: tanking, load management, too many 3s, flopping, officiating. You saw the negative momentum building all week—Raj had a field day with it, and even KD’s comments about the game itself felt defeatist.

The Root Cause is STAKES.

Think about the NFL or College Football. Why do we care about a random Week 4 game or a high-stakes rivalry? Because every game feels like life or death. Even the NFL preseason is massive because it leads to something that matters.

In the NBA, the regular season is an 82-game marathon where 20 teams essentially make the post-season. The stakes couldn't be lower. Why would players give 100% effort in February when the rewards for doing so are minimal?

The NBA Cup? We make fun of it because it still doesn't matter in the grand scheme. If we want better basketball, we have to make the games mean something.

Switching gears to the gridiron. We are one year out from Super Bowl 61 in LA, and the Jacksonville Jaguars just made a chess move.

The Jags plan to play Travis Hunter as a full-time CB and part-time WR. Year two with Liam Coen and Trevor Lawrence? Jacksonville is in the driver’s seat in the AFC South.

Plus, Kyler Murray could be on the move this off-season and why he could be the next Sam Darnold IF he ends up in the right situation.

And in Dallas? Ian Rapoport says the Cowboys will franchise tag George Pickens and might move him for a 2nd round pick. Is he worth it?

NBA Dunk Contest Needs to be Thrown Into the Sun and the NBA's Tanking Issue

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 04:11:00 -0000

2.14.26 Denton Day gives his reaction to NBA All-Star Saturday Night and what needs to be done to fix it. Denton says the dunk contest needs to have stars and the winner needs to paid for it. Why this year’s contest proved that the dunk contest “isn’t any fun anymore and needs to be thrown into the sun.”

Then Washington Wizards guard Tre Johnson joins Denton to react to his performance at the Rising Stars Game on Friday Night, his relationship with Bub Carringtron, and what having Anthony Davis as a teammate has been like.

Denton then gets into the major problem the NBA has in tanking and Adam Silver’s comments on it on Saturday. The NBA threatening to take away draft picks will only make things worse.

Denton then dives into Malik Willis’ future as the Packers backup QB is likely to be on the move this offseason. Will Willis get paid like a franchise QB? Who is the best option between Willis, Tua Tagovailoa, and Kyler Murray? Denton makes the case that Willis shouldn't be trusted yet because of his track record, but he’s still better than Tua and Murray.

Denton then looks at College Basketball and Cam Boozer’s early game performance of late, what to make of the Darryn Peterson saga in Kansas, and Texas Tech’s strong performance against #1 Arizona. Plus, is College Basketball a better product than the NBA?

Super Bowl LX Set: Patriots vs. Seahawks! Sean Payton’s Gamble, Patriots Chances, & Steelers’ McCarthy Mistake

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 08:04:00 -0000

1.25.26 Conference Championship Sunday did not disappoint! In this episode, John recaps a wild pair of games that solidified the matchup for Super Bowl LX. We officially have a rematch of one of the greatest Super Bowls in history as the New England Patriots prepare to take on the Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara.

First, John breaks down how the Patriots returned to the mountaintop in the post-Belichick and Brady era. Is Mike Vrabel already the best coach in the league? And can Drake Maye keep his poise against a relentless Seattle secondary?

We also dive deep into the "Blizzard at Mile High." John questions Sean Payton’s controversial decision to pass up a chip-shot field goal in the 2nd quarter—a move that arguably cost the Denver Broncos their season. On the NFC side, we look at the Los Angeles Rams' narrow loss and whether Sean McVay made a critical tactical error as well.

Finally, John shifts gears to the explosive NFL coaching carousel. He explains why he’s a massive fan of the New York Giants hiring John Harbaugh (and why giving him full power was a home run), while simultaneously dragging the Pittsburgh Steelers for the "uninspired" hiring of Mike McCarthy.

Bill Bender (The Sporting News): The guys discuss the College Football Playoff staying at 12 teams, Indiana’s historic 16-0 championship run under Curt Cignetti, and why Arthur Smith leaving the Steelers to become Ohio State’s OC is the ultimate "get out while you can" move.

Chris Mack (Kaboly and Mack and Westwood One Sports): A fiery local perspective on the McCarthy hire. Chris explains why the Steelers jumped the gun, what this means for DK Metcalf’s future in Pittsburgh, and why the "best-case scenario" for 2026 might still be a Wild Card exit.

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 08:04:00 -0000

1.10.26 John Lund recaps a jam-packed Day 1 of NFL Wild Card Weekend, breaking down the biggest results, surprises, and storylines from the opening round of the NFL Playoffs. How did the Chicago Bears pull off a massive comeback win over the Green Bay Packers, and what does this collapse mean for Matt LaFleur’s future in Green Bay? Could a shocking coaching change be on the table after one of the most stunning playoff meltdowns in recent memory?

Former NFL safety and Los Angeles Rams Postgame Show host Su’a Cravens joins the show to analyze the Rams’ performance against the Carolina Panthers, what stood out on both sides of the ball, and how far Los Angeles can realistically go in the postseason. John also identifies some of the biggest sleeper teams in the NFL Playoffs, including why the Houston Texans may be built for a deep postseason run.

Later, Bill Schmid, Green Bay Packers Postgame Show host and personality on 97.3 The Fan in Milwaukee, provides insider perspective on everything that went wrong in Green Bay’s collapse. Which key injury—other than Micah Parsons—ultimately doomed the Packers, and how much blame should fall on the coaching staff?

John also weighs in on Tom Brady’s post-playing future, explaining why Brady should either run the Las Vegas Raiders’ front office or continue as a lead analyst calling games for FOX Sports, following a path similar to Matt Ryan. To wrap things up, Lund’s Last Call covers the biggest stories in the sports world we didn’t get to earlier in the show.

A must-listen episode featuring NFL Playoff reactions, coaching hot seat talk, Packers analysis, Rams breakdowns, and postseason sleepers.
