ALL BALL: NFL’s BIG Bad Bunny Win, NBA Tanking Crisis with Mark Medina, Matt Holiday on Caleb Durbin Trade

About this episode

Doug discusses the NFL's Bad Bunny halftime show, NBA trade dynamics, and MLB trades involving Caleb Durbin.

Doug explains why the NFL’s controversial Bad Bunny halftime show was a stroke of marketing genius, despite online outrage, what this Super Bowl and the NCAA Tournament have in common. Then, Doug is joined by NBA Reporter Mark Medina to discuss why the Bucks didn’t move Giannis Antetakupomo at the trade deadline, if the NBA can stop teams from blatantly tanking, and where LeBron could play his final season of his NBA career. Finally, 7-time MLB All-Star Matt Holliday breaks down the Brewers trading 2025 rookie of the year finalist Caleb Durbin to the Red Sox, and if a salary cap will ever become a MLB reality.
