Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield open with a quick detour into Olympic hockey chaos, then dive into two big Indiana topics.First: Indiana football's new reality—Curt Cignetti's massive contract extension, what it signals about IU's willingness to spend like a true power, and why the next phase has to include real Memorial Stadium upgrades to match the program's new level. The guys also discuss the NCAA's latest bout of pettiness and why the Louis Moore injunction chatter isn't something Hoosiers should lose sleep over. Then it's basketball: Indiana's week goes sideways with losses at Illinois and a 29-point blowout at Purdue (the biggest margin in the series since 1969). They break down why IU's early offensive stagnation doomed the game, the troubling defensive trendlines, and why the path to the NCAA Tournament is suddenly far narrower than it looked a couple weeks ago.

A schedule change for the Celtics that hints at another Jayson Tatum return date, Curt Cignetti gets a pay raise, and Jake Paul still not recovered from getting punched in the jaw including in the Headlines.

We start the hour with tonight's Headlines featuring another potential Jayson Tatum return date and the pay raise Indiana coach Curt Cignetti. Then, rumblings go public about a potential takeover at the South Shore Plaza in the New England Nightly News. And, Patriots might actually not have as much money to spend as initially thought, but there's got to be some player who'd be willing to restructure their contract.

Curt Cignetti's game-worn headset sells for $$$ Whose career would rather have going forward: Sam Darnold or Drake Maye? The Alabama Crimson Tide and The Auburn Tigers squared off Saturday at Neville Arena. Alabama Basketball overcame a double digit first half deficit to beat Auburn Basketball 96-92. For Alabama, guard play was tremendous down the stretch as Labaron Philon and Aden Holloway combined for 40 of Alabama's 96 points. With the win, Alabama is now in a tie for 5th in the SEC with 6-4 record. The Auburn loss in Neville Arena to Alabama is the second in a row and three of the last four to their arch rival. Why does Alabama play so well in one of the more difficult environments in the SEC?

February 4, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 89 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the seemingly decline in excitement and media coverage when it comes to Super Bowl LX. While only a handful of coaching staff hires has been made official by the team as of Wednesday morning, Alex and I discuss the reports that now indicate that Brian Angelichio will likely be the team's new offensive coordinator and Domata Peko the new defensive line coach. We also address the reported news that two staff interviewees, Scott Tolzien and Chase Haslett, are reportedly staying with the New Orleans Saints. Is there some sort of prior history between QB Aaron Rodgers and new coaching staff member Frank Cignetti Jr. that could result in the former not wanting to return to Pittsburgh in 2026? We attempt to answer that question/narrative that seems to now be making the rounds since our Monday show. Former Steelers running backs coach Eddie Faulkner is reportedly joining the coaching staff of the Baltimore Ravens, so we address that news. We also talk about the seemingly strong coaching staff that new Ravens HC Jesse Minter seems to be assembling. The NFLPA held their annual Super Bowl press conference on Tuesday, so Alex and I discuss a few main talking points that came out of that media session. We talk about the probability of an 18-game regular season in the NFL and how more emphasis on better playing surfaces in stadiums is likely to happen very soon. Steelers DT Cameron Heyward is making the rounds ahead of Super Bowl LX on radio row this week, so Alex and I go over a few comments he has made about his playing future. On Tuesday, we learned that Detroit Lions fan involved in a December altercation with Steelers WR DK Metcalf has brought a $100 million defamation lawsuit against the player, the organization, and others. With that news being fresh, Alex and I give our thoughts on that having any chance of succeeding. This 96-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we make sure to read and answer a few emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Jason channels Oliver Stone, exposing that Bill Polian did not act alone in the assassination of Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame bid. Was it an inside job orchestrated by Patriots owner Robert Kraft? Jason lists his five motives for Belichick being passed over, including being a Donald Trump supporter. Will this cleanse Belichick's failure at North Carolina, his relationship with Jordon Hudson, etc.? Is he now a martyr? Matt McChesney and Breiden Fehoko join the show to offer their takes on the Belichick HOF denial. McChesney also discusses whether Deion Sanders wants the Cleveland Browns' head coaching job, as well as his intention to fine his players this season.
