Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Stephen A. Smith about his potential plans to run for president as a Democrat in the 2028 election; why Democrats like Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Kathy Hochul, Hillary Clinton and others continue to pander to black voters by insulting them and their intelligence; why he is so unimpressed by the potential Democrat nominees for the 2028 election and why he is confident that he could beat Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; why so many people think that Gavin Newsom is a shapeshifting and inauthentic politician and if he trusts him; why liberal celebrity activists like Mark Ruffalo keep thinking that if we only tax the rich or pass a billionaire wealth tax governments will be able to solve all the problems of society; why he thinks Zohran Mamdani is doomed to fail and why his response to the snowball attack on NYPD officers is a bad sign for New York City police officers; and much more.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 372 setting the stage for the 2026 Prediction Show while reacting to Team USA's Olympic hockey gold and debating why the United States can compete in hockey but not soccer. Mitch checks in from Mariners spring training in Peoria, describing a genuine World Series vibe around the pitching staff — before admitting he needed a personal "attitude adjustment" on 22-year-old second baseman Cole Young. Mitch welcomes back Danny O'Neil, Jason Puckett, and Dave "Groz" Grosby for the 2026 Prediction Show, teasing last year's misses while crowning Puckett as the new champ. The panel makes rapid-fire forecasts on the Seahawks' 2026 season: record, playoff finish, key contract calls (Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Rashid Shaheed), draft/free-agent priorities, Sam Darnold's contract future and stat lines, plus big-number projections for JSN and other core pieces. The panel shifts to college football, with Danny projecting a 12-win Washington season and a College Football Playoff berth—while also predicting major turnover with Jed Fisch and Demond Williams gone by 2027. They then pivot to baseball, where Puck and Groz forecast an AL West title and a Mariners trip to the World Series, while Danny takes the contrarian path with 88 wins and no playoffs. The panel finishes Mariners predictions with bold calls on Colt Emerson's debut date, Andrés Muñoz's save total, and the club's World Series outlook—while Danny pegs the Yankees as champions. The conversation widens to NBA expansion in Seattle, where opinions split on timeline and ownership possibilities, and then to the 2026 World Cup, with wildly different forecasts for Team USA. The segment wraps with NBA championship picks, MVP projections, and LeBron James' uncertain future as the Prediction Show heads toward its finale. The panel turns to March Madness, NFL draft projections, and bold NFL quarterback predictions before branching into golf, tennis, the World Baseball Classic, and the Kraken's playoff outlook. Danny calls for Houston to win the NCAA title, Puck backs Arizona, and Groz picks UConn—while wild swings follow on Scheffler majors, Rory's chances, and LeBron's future. The segment culminates with dramatic wild-card predictions, including a potential MLB lockout, a Jamal Crawford-led Sonics return, and a blockbuster Seahawks in-season trade.

Dean Karayanis remembers his long-time boss, Rush Limbaugh, just a bit on the fifth anniversary of the GOAT returning his talent on loan from God. Team USA wins the gold, and some leftists decide they only love the country when they win. Team Canada and the country's PM are sore losers. Trump sends USS Mercy to Greenland and papers create a scandal by saying nobody knows why, when they don't bother to do the research. Russia sends an oil tanker steaming to Cuba — and Trump's blockade. Stephen A. Smith rips Democrats who are boycotting President Trump's State of the Union. Mexico's most-wanted drug dealer gets splattered as America expands its military footprint in the country. Chris Christie blames Trump for AOC thinking she can be president, joining the bipartisan condescension of mocking her as “just a bartender,” as if people don't love bartenders. Syria asks Germany not to return their refugees, calling them a security risk.
Godfrey and the crew kick things off reacting to a fan-made opening before diving into a raw, wide-ranging conversation about success, legacy, celebrity politics, and the dangers of performative leadership. The episode takes a sharp turn into Stephen A. Smith's political commentary, tokenism, and why certain voices are elevated while others are ignored. From Nicki Minaj controversy to Black accountability, media narratives, and uncomfortable truths about power and perception, this one goes everywhere.Beat Contest Winner: taconetheartist@gmail.comSend a nice email if you're a fan.

Send a textSpilled beer on the soundboard, a busted molding kit story we probably shouldn't admit, and the most heartfelt sports gift a kid could get—this one swings from laugh-out-loud to gut-level real. We start with tech chaos and college flashbacks, then drop into a group sex-store run that turns into a meditation on curiosity, embarrassment, and growing up. From there, a mother's handwritten letter gifting tickets to Michael Jordan's final All-Star Game reframes what All-Star Weekend used to mean and what it's missing now.We go deep on the NBA's midseason showcase: why Rising Stars feels forgettable, how the three-point contest still slaps, and why the dunk contest keeps chasing juice it can't bottle. Our take isn't “get the stars” so much as “set the stage”—clear judging, smarter formats, and real officiating so players don't weigh injury risk over effort. And we make the case for Anthony Edwards as the league's most compelling American face: funny, authentic, fierce on both ends, and unafraid of the mic. Along the way, we nerd out on dunk mechanics, vertical, and why alley-oops can be deceptively easy when your timing is right.Then the NFL receipts come out. We own our misses and call what mattered: the Falcons' coaching and QB gaps, the Patriots' surprise path through the AFC East, the Texans' growth and Jaguars' steadiness, the Bears' surge, the Packers' near-miss, and the thin line between KC's aura and actual regression. It's not just who's good; it's who stays good when chaos hits. Finally, we pivot to culture: Cardi B's algorithm-proof magnetism, and a clear-eyed critique of Stephen A. Smith's presidential flirtation. We unpack what “defund the police” actually means—reallocating duties and resources—and why better messaging matters as much as better policy.You'll laugh, you'll argue with us in your head, and you'll leave with takes you can defend. If you're into smart sports talk with real life baked in, hit play, share with a friend, and tell us: who's the real face of the NBA right now? And which NFL prediction did we botch the worst?

NBA All-Star Weekend was this close to being declared dead—until Victor Wembanyama flipped the entire vibe, shamed everybody into competing, and turned a “jumped-the-shark” event into must-watch hoops. On this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher breaks down why the All-Star turnaround matters, what it revealed about the league's real hierarchy, and why Adam Silver's public tough talk (including the nuclear “eliminate the draft” idea) lands as hollow compared to the era of David Stern.Ric also dives into the league's messy optics: tanking, gambling partnerships, half-empty arenas, influencer-first priorities, and the growing sense that the NBA's “brand showcase” is replacing the game itself—right up until Wemby decided otherwise.Then Ric shifts to the off-court theater: Stephen A. Smith flirting with a presidential run (and why sports platforms + politics are a dangerous credibility cocktail), plus Ric's take on LeBron James' retirement fog—including a wild, hypothetical endgame that involves NBA expansion, Las Vegas, and a final-season father-son spectacle with Bronny James.Time Stamps / Chapters00:00 — Intro: “Cooking with gas” + where to find Ric Bucher 00:41 — Ric's new book: The Value of Being Coachable (pre-order info) 01:20 — United We Cast Network shows: Full Court Passport, Finding the Seams, Pacific Rims 02:03 — Was All-Star Weekend cooked?

I have no problem with him as a football coach,” Smith said on Monday's edition of The Paul Finebaum Show on SEC Network.

The NBA followed the NHL All-Star model of “them against us.” The league delivered an entertaining and competitive foursome of games that have been unanimously praised. Is it enough to save the format? Dre Baldwin, Steve Kim, and Jay Skapinac join the show to provide the answer. They also discuss Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards, who were at their best. Are they the new faces of the league? Kevin Durant was burned twice yesterday: his poor ASG play and the release of the leaked message he sent via an X burner account. More than two years ago, Jason told you that Stephen A. Smith was being installed as a presidential candidate … or was it a warning? In a weekend interview with CBS, he kicked off the candidacy platform in a more polished and affable manner. Jason explains how the interview was a means of mending the fence with black women while disregarding Jesus.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 59: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Just because we're paranoid, that doesn't mean Trump isn't out to get us. Trump has just accidentally revealed crucial details of his conspiracy to steal the midterms. It starts with the cadaver-in-chief, demanding of active troops at Fort Bragg – “you have to vote for us” – that’s in case the Generals or even the Joint Chiefs realize Mark Kelly is right: they HAVE to disobey illegal orders, ESPECIALLY Trump’s illegal orders. If it came to that, Trump would have the raw troops overthrow the generals And then Trump succubus Kristi Noem vowed to make sure Trump only lets the RIGHT people voting, electing the RIGHT leaders. And he’s already had ICE PRACTICE voter suppression – murder of civilians – in Minnesota. How do we stop Trump? Talk about it endlessly. Talk about his attempt to make the troops loyal to HIM and not the constitution. Talk about his attempts to seize ballots. Talk about his attempt to use ICE to intimidate voters. Talk about it, now, now, now. Trump is plotting to steal the midterms. We not only CAN stop him - we have to. MEANWHILE, HOW MUCH MORE CAN THE MEDIA BETRAY US? Jake Tapper - as guilty as anybody in the business of putting his salary ahead of all journalism - tells us to hang in there? An old boss of mine says something stupid. CBS decides to platform Stephen A. Smith, the Jill Stein of 2026. B-Block (55:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: What happened to Congressman Randy Fine demanding the arrest of everybody who enjoyed Bad Bunny's Swear-filled Super Bowl Show? The White House doesn't know how to spell "cue." And enjoying the Olympics? It's all crap - especially what it did to the history of the Olympics and the National Hockey League. C-Block (1:25:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: More media criticism. This disaster didn't start yesterday. By 2004, when an anchor on MSNBC told one of his viewers - live on the air - to "get AIDS and die" - and his boss said he had to be fired for that, his boss's boss (THE PRESIDENT OF NBC) tried to intervene to save his job.
