    Stacey King RIP 😢+ Cubs in Crisis + White Sox Are REAL + Bears Leaving Chicago?? | Ep. 307

    Welcome to the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast…BIG-Z and the boys got a LOT to talk about today!”Tonight on the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast, we carry heavy hearts into one of the biggest episodes we’ve ever recorded. We open with a full, emotional tribute to Chicago Bulls legend and beloved broadcaster Stacey King, who passed away Sunday at just 59 years old after a fall at his home. We break down what he meant as a player on three championship teams alongside Michael Jordan, and celebrate his 20-year broadcasting career — his iconic catchphrases, his legendary calls, and why he belongs in the same conversation as Harry Caray, Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, Pat Foley & Eddie Olczyk, and Jeff Joniak & Tom Thayer. Then we get into the Cubs, the White Sox, and the Bears news that is shaking the entire city of Chicago to its core.💔 SEGMENT 1 — R.I.P. STACEY KINGThe Chicago Bulls announced Sunday that three-time NBA Champion and Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Stacey King has died at 59. We deliver a full emotional monologue on Stacey’s life, legacy, and the enormous hole he leaves behind. “Gimme the hot sauce.” “Drive home safely, Chicago — beep beep.” “Mouse in the house, free cheese!” “Jimmy G. Buckets.” We break it all down and say goodbye the right way.⚾ SEGMENT 2 — CHICAGO CUBS DISASTER VS. GIANTSThe Cubs just dropped 2 of 3 to the San Francisco Giants and have now lost 20 of their last 27 games. We recap all three games including the 18-3 destruction on Friday. We break down stats for Alex Bregman (2-for-24 in his last stretch, .243 AVG), Pete Crow-Armstrong (2 HRs Saturday, 11-game hit streak, the one bright light), and Ian Happ (4 hits in last 37 ABs). Then Jameson Taillon exits Sunday’s game with a strained left hamstring in the 2nd inning — headed to the IL with a 5.13 ERA. ⚾ SEGMENT 3 — CHICAGO WHITE SOX: FOR REAL?The White Sox split their series with the Phillies and head home for the biggest test of their surprising 2026 season. We break down all three games, spotlight Colson Montgomery (16 HRs, elite wOBA), Jacob Gonzalez’s first MLB homer (428 feet, just his 6th game), Tristan Peters, Chase Meidroth, and the continued dominance of Davis Martin (8-2, 2.00 ERA, Cy Young candidate). We identify realistic trade deadline targets that could push this team to October and preview back-to-back home series against the Braves and Dodgers — the two best teams in baseball. Is this White Sox team for real? We’re about to find out.🏈 SEGMENT 4 — CHICAGO BEARS TO HAMMOND, INDIANA?On June 5th, the Chicago Bears Board of Directors voted to advance their stadium project in Hammond, Indiana — the biggest move toward leaving Illinois yet. Indiana approved $1 BILLION in incentives. Illinois lawmakers failed — again — to pass stadium financing before adjourning their spring session. Who is to blame? What happens to Soldier Field? And does Caleb Williams make any of this easier to stomach?🔔 SUBSCRIBE for weekly Chicago sports coverage — Bears, Cubs, White Sox, Bulls & Blackhawks every week.👍 LIKE this video if you grew up watching Stacey King make the Bulls worth watching.💬 COMMENT your favorite Stacey King call below.

    “BEARS STADIUM CRISIS, WHITE SOX WIN STREAK & CUBS JUNE OUTLOOK”

    Welcome to the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast…BIG-Z and the boys got a LOT to talk about today!”🚨 Chicago sports fans… this episode is PACKED. 🚨00:00 — Intro & Today’s Headlines02:15 — 🏈 SEGMENT 1: Bears Stadium Crisis — Illinois Fails, Indiana Looms18:40 — ⚾ SEGMENT 2: White Sox 5-Game Win Streak — Vargas, Martin, Montgomery & Murakami Update36:55 — 🐻 SEGMENT 3: Cubs May Recap + Cardinals Series Breakdown + June Schedule Preview52:10 — Final Thoughts & Predictions🏈 BEARS STADIUM CRISIS | SEGMENT 1The moment Chicago sports fans have been dreading may be here. The Illinois House adjourned early Monday morning WITHOUT voting on the Bears stadium bill — even after the Senate passed it 37-17 at 3:30 AM. Indiana’s offer of $1 BILLION in incentives to build a brand-new dome in Hammond is now the most concrete deal on the table. The Bears have owned 326 acres in Arlington Heights since 2023, but without property tax relief from Springfield, that dream may be dead. We break down exactly what happened, what it means for the franchise’s future, and whether a special session can still save the day.#ChicagoBears #BearsStadium #ArlingtonHeights #HammondIndiana #NFLNews #BearDown #ChicagoSports⚾ WHITE SOX WIN STREAK | SEGMENT 2The South Siders are LEGIT. At 32-27 and sitting in a Wild Card spot, the White Sox have gone 26-14 since their 6-13 start — including a 5-game winning streak capped by a sweep of the Detroit Tigers this weekend. We spotlight the players carrying the load:🔥 Davis Martin — 2.00 ERA, 6 straight wins, Cy Young conversation starting NOW💥 Miguel Vargas — .850 OPS, 13 HR, walk-off homer Friday night (391 ft, 10th inning)⚡ Colson Montgomery — 15 HR, .792 OPS, elite shortstop defense🆕 Jacob Gonzalez — Called up from Triple-A, first MLB hit in his debut!Plus — the big injury news: Munetaka Murakami exits with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. The AL home run co-leader (20 HRs, .938 OPS) was on pace for 57 homers. Can the Sox hold their wild card spot without him? We dig into the numbers and the odds.#WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox #MiguelvVargas #DavisMartin #ColsonMontgomery #MunetakaMurakami #MLBNews🐻 CUBS: MAY RECAP + JUNE PREVIEW | SEGMENT 3The Cubs finished May a disappointing 13-16, including a 10-game losing streak that threatened to bury their season. They closed May by losing the series in St. Louis (1-2), with Shota Imanaga giving up 3 home runs and Jordan Wicks lasting just 2 innings in the rubber game. BUT — here’s the silver lining: the Cubs’ June schedule is a GIFT. Their next 22 games are against teams a combined 41 games UNDER .500. The Oakland Athletics roll into Wrigley Field Tuesday to kick it off. Can the Cubs right the ship and make a real NL Central push? We break down Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 444-foot BOMB in Game 2, Ben Brown’s emergence in the rotation, and what this team needs to fix to compete.#ChicagoCubs #Cubs #PeteCrowArmstrong #WrigleyField #MLBNews #NLCentral #GoCubsGoJoin the Conversation: 👇 COMMENT BELOW 👇⚾ Cubs need to get back on track!⚾ White Sox AL Central Contenders?🎙️ True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast📌 LIKE • COMMENT • SUBSCRIBE for more Chicago sports content weekly!#TrueChicagoSportsFans #ChicagoSports #ChicagoBears #ChicagoCubs #ChicagoWhiteSox #BearsStadium #WhiteSoxWinStreak #MiguelvVargas #DavisMartin #MunetakaMurakami #ColsonMontgomery #PeteCrowArmstrong #NFLNews #MLBNews #ChicagoSportsPodcast #BearDown #GoCubsGo 👉 LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and HIT THE BELL so you never miss Chicago Sports news, breakdowns, and postgame reactions!🔗 Connect with Us: 🌐 Website: 606media.com 📸 Instagram: @TrueChicagoSportsFansPodcast 📸 Instagram: @BigZ_606mediagroup 📘 Facebook: True Chicago Sports Fans⚖️ This show is for commentary, criticism, news reporting, and educational purposes under Fair Use (Section 107, Copyright Act of 1976).
