On today's episode of The Sporting Tribune Today, Grant Mona connects two vibrant corners of the sports world — Dodgers Spring Training vibes with voices from camp, and Clippers All-Star Weekend reactions and practice insights as Kawhi Leonard leads the way. Segment One — Dodgers Spring Training with Roberts, Friedman, Díaz & Betts Grant opens with the latest from Dodgers Spring Training at Camelback Ranch, where Dave Roberts, Andrew Friedman, Edwin Díaz, and Mookie Betts have been setting the tone for the 2026 season. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized focus, consistency, and “looking forward” as the squad kicked off full-squad workouts, encouraging the group to ignore external expectations and lean into daily preparation. Roberts' message included contributions from Díaz, Kyle Tucker, Miguel Rojas and others, highlighting the depth and experience assembled around Los Angeles' championship core. Veteran closer Edwin Díaz, newly signed to anchor the bullpen, has talked openly about choosing the Dodgers because of their winning culture and recent World Series success, and Betts has embraced his role in camp with an eye toward another postseason run. The spring atmosphere — fueled by big names like Shohei Ohtani and fans flocking to workouts — reflects high expectations for a club chasing another title. Segment Two — Kawhi, Clippers Practice & All-Star Buzz In the second segment, Grant turns to the hardwood as he breaks down Kawhi Leonard's post–All-Star Weekend perspective and Clippers practice comments from Ty Lue, Isaiah Jackson, and Bennedict Mathurin. Leonard, who starred during the All-Star festivities — including a 31-point outing highlighted by his clutch play — has embraced the spotlight and the new format, saying he's “up for whatever grabs the attention of the consumer.” His continued elite production this season — with averages near the top of the league in scoring and impact — has made him one of the most talked-about players in a lopsided season for Clippers basketball. Head coach Ty Lue discussed the team's evolving identity and how leaders like Kawhi help set practice standards, while young pieces like Isaiah Jackson and Bennedict Mathurin shared enthusiasm about growth, defensive focus, and building chemistry as the Clippers chase consistency in a competitive Western Conference.

Should you draft Roman Anthony with your ace already locked in? Is Eury Perez too early in Round 4? Why did zero prospects go in the first 30 picks? David Whitcomb, Rich Sayre, and Scott Shields draft live through the first five rounds of a 2026 dynasty startup—and they don't always agree.The guys debate dynasty strategy in real time: Chase Burns vs Jake Miserowski, whether Kyle Tucker gets a real bump in LA, and why Scott picked Garrett Crochet years ago when everyone told him to cut bait. Plus: the "defense keeps you on the field" philosophy that drove picks like Fernando Tatis Jr. and Julio Rodriguez, why rotisserie leagues are "dumb" (David's words), and the surprisingly old player who topped the draft at age 34 (Mookie Betts).Hot takes:David: "Dynasty is a three-year window—anything beyond that is a fool's errand."The group: Almost no prospects in 60 picks, and here's whyScott on Contreras: "Two catchers went off the board and neither was Willson Contreras?!"Rankings and cheat sheets at fantasysixpack.net/plans (Code: F6PPODS saves 15%)

SEASON 4 EPISODE 57: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: When they insist Trump's Thursday night racist video depicting the Obamas as apes wasn’t posted by Trump but by somebody else in the White House – and then he undermines the lie they spread on his behalf by saying he selected the video and had them post it but he just didn’t see the whole thing but so what it wasn’t a mistake they just deleted it – I think each part of that is a lie. It was a set-up. I conclude that this is not just blatant, human garbage racism, inherited Trump Family Branded racism, but I conclude the entire thing was designed – to whatever degree anything Trump and these scumbags do is DESIGNED – it was DESIGNED to turn out this way. Event happens, justifiable backlash, unrighteous indignation from press secretary Eva Braun, oops it wasn’t supposed to be posted, oops bad staffer, oops Trump comes out at the end of the day and… endorses the original racism anyway, quote, “I didn’t make a mistake.” And he did it this circuitous way, the way he expresses ALL his racism against BLACK people, because he can’t send ICE after them. But the point of the video was he was reminding his putrid, hate-driven base that he can't send ICE after them...FOR THE MOMENT. B-Block (33:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There are actually people in politics and media who for some reason don't see that Jeff Bezos hired Will Allen to slowly destroy The Washington Post (to please Trump) and think this was all some sort of mismanagement, rather than a well-executed plan. Unfortunately at least two of them wrote it on their sites: Jim Vandehei and Dylan Byers. Sage Steele is back with not only anti-athlete, anti-freedom of speech conservative swill, but stuff that is almost a word-for-word duplication of what Laura Ingraham wrote 20 years ago. And incredibly, in Year 11 of the Trump Scam, there's still a guy on CNN thinks Trump just changed his tone. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Not to say I've had a lot of jobs but I just remembered one that I had FORGOTTEN: my two weeks as the entire sports department on a New York City newspaper that went daily, while the big papers were out on strike in 1978!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textHappy MLK Day. A little late but hopefully worth the wait. When we recorded this episode the news that #Mets signed Bo Bichette for 3 years $120M had just dropped and Gordon wasn't aware until Mark told him! Kyle Tucker's behemoth contract led to a discussion of a baseball salary caps which have always been a red line for the MLB Player's Association. Will a salary cap make MLB more competitive? That's not guaranteed. But a salary floor would bring up the salaries of the lowest paid MLB players - which is most of them since the stars get paid first and foremost. Kyle Tucker on the #Dodgers is just one of the players. He has Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman for cover not to mention virtually every player on the team. New York ain't L.A.

Cody and Vince are live with a brand new episode of Talkin' Blue, breaking down the latest Dodgers and MLB news. Mookie Betts has officially decided not to participate in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, with his wife expecting their third child around that time. We discuss Mookie's decision, what it means for Team USA, and why family always comes first. The Kyle Tucker market remains open, and we explore whether a short-term deal with a higher AAV could make sense. Is Tucker waiting things out, and could the Dodgers still be lurking? Tyler Glasnow also addressed recent trade rumors and shared his excitement about the idea of playing alongside Tarik Skubal if the Dodgers were to land him. We break down what that would mean for the rotation and whether the buzz has real legs. Plus, more WBC news, roster chatter, and live fan reactions throughout the show.

It's a jam-packed show today! We start with the Broncos sneaking past the Raiders in a 10-7 snoozer, Boomer saying Jaxson Dart is already better than Bo Nix, and Shaun Morash claiming the Giants were this close to firing Brian Daboll.

In hour three, Gio weighs in on who was really ‘shivving' Daboll, plus Jets and Giants updates, Garrett Wilson ‘shocked' by trades, Stephen A. Smith doubts Daniel Jones, reactions to the death of Cowboy Marshawn Kneeland, and Joe Davis' 18-inning World Series confession. Hour four brings NFL weekend matchups, BT & Sal drama at the A-Rod documentary, Sauce Gardner on the Indy trade, Mookie Betts calling the World Series boring, the Moment of the Day with Gio as Shaun Morash, and we wrap up with our NFL picks for the week!

Today's word of the day is ‘wheel' as in the Dodgers as in the Phillies as in Mookie Betts as in Freddie Freeman as in Nick Castellanos. What am I talking about?
