  • Super Tazón LX
    Feb 10 2026

    The Seahawks dominance made Super Bowl LX pretty boring on the field, but how was the overall production?

Plus, the Winter Olympics are underway, but they already lost their biggest star. NBA All-Star Weekend is up next, but their biggest stars continue to sit. Then, the Dr. Mike Smith Sports Moment of the Week sees Coach Mike burst into action to save the day.

  • Pray for It
    Feb 5 2026

    Super Bowl week is here! Charles and Mike discuss ratings expectations for NBC, Bad Bunny's inevitably polarizing halftime show, and Roger Goodell's groundhog day-esque press conference, where the commissioner once again had to address the league's lack of diversity when it comes to coaching hires. Plus, it's time for the Winter Olympics (also on NBC), the ESPN/NFL deal is official, and it's been another chaotic NBA trade deadline. Jason's Wormbyte covers the Washington Post, eliminating their sports department, a rare positive development for LIV, and next year's CFP schedule. Then, the Dr. Mike Smith Sports Moment of the week leaves everybody confused, and predictions for the big game!
