About this listen

This week on Plugged In, we’re coming in hot — no filters, no loyalty pledges, no fake leadership. From Santa Ono’s epic cosplay collapse to the SEC’s quiet power grab with their so-called “loyalty pledges,” we’re breaking down what happens when institutions try to play both sides and end up standing for nothing.

We’re talking culture clash:

  • Why Terry Bradshaw is right to keep Aaron Rodgers out of Pittsburgh
  • How Gabby Thomas handled a FanDuel clown with more class than he deserved
  • What Derek Carr taught the league about real integrity
  • And why the Oklahoma City Thunder are proving you don’t need a superteam to build a dynasty — just patience, vision, and guts

Plus, we check in on the Knicks' messy breakup with Thibs, Stefon Diggs’ viral yacht moment, and Finebaum’s wild claim that Texas is winning it all. Spoiler: I’m not buying it.

And before we wrap — a tribute to the late, great John Brenkus, the mind behind Sports Science, and a reminder that even giants among us fight invisible battles.

This ain’t just a Round of Sports — this is a reality check. Let’s get into it.
