There was little debate about the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles were the more complete team heading into Super Bowl LIX. Better up front on defense and offense. Better at running back and wide receiver than the Kansas City Chiefs. But the Chiefs still had Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. So the Chiefs were still dangerous. Well that proved to not be anywhere near enough, as the Eagles cruised to a 40-22 win on Sunday, claiming the franchises' second ever Super Bowl victory. So today Ben Solak and Michele Steele breakdown what went exceptionally right for the Eagles, and immensely wrong for the Chiefs in the NFL's final game of the season. And take a look at what comes next, for a Chiefs team that heads into the offseason, with more questions than we expected. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Kansas City Chiefs may not be the offensive juggernaut they once were, but they keep raising trophies nonetheless. And though every member of this franchise would love to become the first in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row, their ultimate plan goes far beyond this season.  So today, Adam Teicher, our man on the Chiefs beat, tells Michele Steele how the team's unique approach to building a winner, and why this dynasty may be just getting started. Plus, with retirement approaching this summer, Adam looks back at his 32 years on the job, and his front row seat to the winning culture Andy Reid has built.  Adam's report: Three-peat or not, this Chiefs team is built to last Learn more about your ad choices.

It goes without saying that January is a high stakes time of year for the football world, and this year, that was more true than ever. The first 12-team College Football playoff brought us three compelling rounds, mirroring the NFL's own longtime playoff tradition.  We of course covered all of it on ESPN Daily. But there are often other stories, or different angles on stories, that we don't always have room for in the show. So today, as we say farewell to January, we're trying something new.  Michele Steele and Harry Lyles Jr. join Clinton Yates to further unpack some of the biggest stories of the month. As a chorus of voices begin calling for the Bills to fire Sean McDermott, does Josh Allen deserve more scrutiny? How did Marcus Freeman make Notre Dame cool? And why do so many people care about Ichiro Suziki falling one vote shy of a unanimous Baseball Hall of Fame selection? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Super Bowl LIX is set. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will meet in New Orleans, for a rematch of Super Bowl LII. Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Travis Kelce and the rest set their sights on becoming the first NFL team to ever win three consecutive titles, while Saquon Barkley looks to put a championship stamp on an MVP-level first season in Philadelphia. But before we set our sights on the big game, Ben Solak, Seth Walder, and Michele Steele go through how those two teams got past their opposition in the conference championships and look at what's next for the Buffalo Bills and Washington Commanders after a heartbreaking end to their seasons.

For many people, the NFL's divisional round is the most exciting weekend of football on the calendar all year long. Eight teams, four games, with trips to the conference championships on the line. And this year's matchups are bangers. Whether it's an MVP showdown between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, or the dynamic Jayden Daniels vying for an upset of the Lions in Motor City, or Saquon Barkley continuing his push for a ring in year one outside of the Meadowlands, these games figure to deliver the goods. So Ben Solak joins the program to give Michele Steele a preview of all the action, and to explain why it's just plain unfair that the Chiefs are rounding into their ultimate form at the season's most crucial point.

It's no secret that times are hard for fans of Chicago sports. The White Sox, Cubs, Bulls, and Bears are all in the midst of middling, or worse, performance in recent years. And the same is true of the team that used to be the reliable winner, the Blackhawks. When they drafted generational prospect Connor Bedard first overall in the 2023 NHL draft, the future appeared to be bright. An idea seemingly confirmed when Bedard brought home the Calder Memorial Trophy - the NHL's rookie of the year award - in his first season on the ice. But year two has only added more angst to the situation. Bedard suffered through a sophomore slump to start the season, and Chicago is at the bottom of the standings in the NHL. So today, ESPN senior hockey reporter, Emily Kaplan tells Michele Steele, during an in person conversation, what the problem has been with Bedard and the Blackhawks in year two.

Few rivalries are as bitter as the ones that exist between two teams in one city.  Ask New York Mets fans and New York Yankees fans, where the hatred can divide households. Or Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox fans whose team alliances mix with the pride in their neighborhoods. While out west, Los Angeles Lakers fans play the big brother, to their neglected stepsiblings, Los Angeles Clippers fans. Well across the pond on Sunday, in the United Kingdom, Manchester will be the site of one of those rivalries as Manchester United and Manchester City will meet in the Manchester Derby for the 195th time. Today Luis Miguel Echegaray, himself a former resident of the U.K., describes how these two clubs have defined the city for decades, and explores the modern challenges each of them are facing on and off the pitch, before explaining to Michele Steele how Liverpool is perched atop the Premier League standings, happy with whatever outcome emerges.

With the Tokyo Olympics opening this Friday, about 60 new COVID-19 cases have been reported, including among U.S. athletes Kara Eaker, Coco Gauff, and Katie Lou Samuelson. “Think about all of the stress that occurs with training for a normal Olympics. Now on top of that, you have … athletes who are going to be put in isolation because either they're a close contact, or … they are testing positive and we will get more positive tests,” says ESPN national reporter Michele Steele. “That is what IOC [International Olympic Committee] organizers expect over the coming days, just as a function of the 11,000 athletes who are going to be in that village.”

This week I'm speaking with Michele Steele, who is a bureau reporter at ESPN. She is heavily involved in the Special Olympics, even receiving some awards for her work.

She joins Nancy Harris to discuss the intersection of inclusivity and sports, media, and management. She shares what it's like being a woman in a male-dominated field of work. “Adaptability is an underrated skill [when in a male-dominated workplace],” she says, “you're always going to have to adapt to changing conditions.” You can find a link to Michele's talk here.
