Big Red Bus Podcast Episode Title: AKME Redemption: The Rise of the Red Leviathan Hosts: See Red Fred & The Podfather, Doug Thonus Summary:See Red Fred and the Podfather Doug Thonus break down one of the most thrilling weeks in recent Bulls history — a miraculous comeback win that cements the Bulls as the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The guys argue that we're witnessing the greatest front office turnaround in Chicago sports history, thanks to four franchise-changing moves that have completely reshaped the team's identity. Topics Covered: The Buzelis Draft Pick (June 2024, #11 Overall)Fred and Doug revisit the bold selection of Matas Buzelis — calling it an A+ pick that set the tone for everything that followed. The LaVine TradeThe front office struck gold by trading Zach LaVine for Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter, and John Collins — plus their pick back. Fred praises each as rock-solid contributors, emphasizing that the Bulls gained three quality pieces and financial flexibility. The Okoro TradeDubbed “the most underrated great move,” Isaac Okoro's addition transformed the Bulls' defense. Shooting 50-40-80 over his last five games, Okoro locked down Tyrese Maxey in crunch time — solidifying himself as the team's best defender and a critical late-game stopper. Fred contrasts his production with Lonzo Ball's multi-year absence and inefficiency, calling out the overreaction from fans who doubted the deal. The Giddey Trade and ExtensionA true win-win. Alex Caruso helped OKC capture a championship, while Josh Giddey — a misfit in OKC — has flourished in Chicago. At just 23 years old, Giddey is emerging as a bona fide All-Star and, according to Fred, even belongs in the early MVP conversation. Closing Thoughts:The Big Red Bus celebrates a Bulls team reborn — deeper, smarter, tougher, and finally built to contend. From a fanbase in despair to the top of the East, AKME Redemption is real, and the ride has only just begun. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Chicago Bulls might be DEEPER than anybody expected. Through just two games, the Bulls bench is averaging over 46 points per game, showing a level of depth this team hasn't had in years.Tre Jones has stepped into that Lonzo Ball role seamlessly — pushing pace, defending, and running the show with confidence. Meanwhile, Josh Giddey's early-season numbers (20 PPG, 6.5 REB, 7 AST, 42.9% from three) are making that contract look like an absolute STEAL.We'll also talk about Matas Buzelis' learning curve, Okoro's shaky start, and what it all means for this Bulls team as they start to find their rhythm.

Ken Carman and Danny Cunningham talk about the Cleveland Cavaliers' preseason matchup against the Detroit Pistons for Tuesday night, while a former Cleveland Browns coach may be on the market again.

Highlights: Terry shares a “moment of wisdom” about venting in emails: tone and humor are lost compared to spoken conversation. Discussion on Browns' offensive struggles against the Steelers: 82 snaps, Quinshon Judkins only played 33 despite being top offensive weapon. Browns ran only 17 times for 65 yards, despite game being close early; heavy reliance on passing (27 passes vs. 11 runs in first three quarters). Missed opportunities: Judkins absent on key goal-line plays; lack of creativity like play-action fakes. Terry suggests Kevin Stefanski looks “shell-shocked” by offensive failures; quotes Stefanski: “Before you start winning, you've got to stop losing.” Offensive line woes highlighted: aging starters (Teller, Bitonio, Pocic, Conklin all 30+); poor Pro Football Focus grades (best was 64.7). Listener email proposes 2026 offseason rebuild: draft tackles, replace veterans,. Receiver issues: Jerry Jeudy drops (7 in 6 games) and costly penalties; Fannin also had key drops despite flashes of talent. Gabriel sacked six times, hit 16 times; Browns threw 58 times including sacks—offensive imbalance and protection failures. Debate on ownership accountability: email argues Haslams should sell; Terry counters owners rarely sell, especially after stadium deal. Terry plugs new book: Why Can't This Team Find a Quarterback? covering Browns' QB struggles since 1999 and ownership dynamics. Mike Tomlin's reaction to Browns trading Joe Flacco to Bengals: “shocking”; Terry and David analyze implications and AFC North competitiveness. Browns' strategy likened to Guardians' “thread the needle” approach—trying to win while developing young players; trade rumors hinted. Positive draft notes: Judkins, Fannin, Schwesinger praised; Tyson Campbell trade seen as promising despite questionable usage vs. DK Metcalf. Special teams bright spot: rookie kicker Andre Szmyt solid after rough opener (3-for-3 in Pittsburgh). Guardians offseason priorities: extend José Ramírez again, pursue right-handed power bat, consider Stephen Kwan's future contract. Cavs preview: season opens Oct. 22; focus on pace, bench depth, unlocking Mobley and Hunter; injury concerns for Garland and Lonzo Ball. Faith column reflections: Terry shares story on visiting graves and human moments in sports. And a closing email from a listener who says baseball isn't the only sport without a clock and with lots of drama. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Producer Josh updates us on what Lonzo Ball knows about the City of Cleveland, the truck spill of the week, and the mystery unfolding at the HAIM shows.

Highlights: Cleveland sports had a wild week, with dramatic Guardians wins and unexpectedly large home crowds. Jose Ramirez's playoff consistency contrasts with Francisco Lindor's limited postseason success since joining the Mets. Jose's commitment to Cleveland shows in his extension and emotional postgame celebration declaring “This is my home.” Terry Francona's magic continues with the Reds, despite their lack of standout stats or star players. Stephen Vogt's appeal to fans shows his understanding of Cleveland's working-class culture and school-night realities. Guardians pulled off a historic comeback, overcoming a 15.5-game deficit to win the division. The team's resilience recalls the 1914 Boston Braves, who rallied from 15 games back to win. Guardians starters had a streak of 19 games allowing two or fewer runs, a rare achievement. Baseball's unpredictability and “never over until it's over” nature make it a unique test of faith. Progressive Field's renovations helped attract younger fans, blending tradition with modern fan experiences. Guardians reached 2 million in attendance for back-to-back years, a milestone for a small-market team. Chase DeLauter joins the playoff taxi squad, signaling potential late-season impact if needed. Aidan Hutchinson was left in one-on-one matchups 17 times against Browns swing tackle Cornelius Lucas?. Quinshon Judkins and Harold Fannin Jr. were praised for their impact, especially Judkins' ability to turn short gains into longer runs. Only one solid performance in four games; a touchdown was allowed on special teams against Detroit. There's reluctance to reintegrate Watson despite his eligibility to return, with comparisons to awkward social encounters. Both hosts agreed that starting Gabriel wouldn't solve deeper offensive issues and could expose him to unnecessary risk. Lonzo Ball expressed surprise that Cleveland had water (Lake Erie), highlighting how little some players know about the city before arriving. Cavs media day injury updates on Darius Garland and Max Strus. Uniform Talk: Mixed reactions to the Browns' “Alpha Dawg” uniforms. Some fans loved them, others (including Terry) did not.
