    🎙️ Episode 28: Global Heat & Gridiron Glory

    We start with a debate that never gets old: the greatest rivalries in college football. A new Top 15 ranking has everyone talking, and we break down what actually makes a rivalry elite. Is it hate? Stakes? History? Or something deeper? And in today’s NIL and transfer portal era, do rivalries still mean the same thing to players — or do they live mostly in the fans now? From there, we shift to the NBA and build a basketball thought experiment that turns into a heated debate. A European superteam of current stars versus five Americans of our choosing. Can Team USA still claim superiority, or has global development officially reshaped the balance of power in the league? Skill vs athleticism. IQ vs explosiveness. One game or seven-game series — we cover it all. Then we recap the Super Bowl — what worked, what didn’t, and whether the game delivered on the moment. We also break down the halftime show featuring Bad Bunny and discuss its energy, cultural impact, and whether it elevated the night or divided audiences. Finally, we close with the NBA brawl between the Pistons and Hornets and the league’s suspensions that followed. Were the penalties fair? Did history factor in correctly? And where exactly is the line between competitive intensity and losing control? Plus, in this week’s mailbag: * Which rule would we eliminate from sports for one season? * What sports take have we completely changed our minds on? * And who makes our Mount Rushmore of sports villains? It’s loyalty. Legacy. Global influence. And a little bit of chaos. No scripts. Just missiles . This is a public episode.
