  • Super Bowl Week Recap
    Feb 13 2025

    Kirk returns from Pro Bowl & Super Bowl duties and shares his stories at those events. So much was talked about involving the Chiefs attempt at a three-peat and the Eagles attempt to win a Super Bowl, their third in seven years. As divided as the country is, everyone was either an Eagle or a Chief in New Orleans the whole week. This is the forward progress we have been talking about. Jalen Hurts has overcome a lot of different coaches & schemes to finally get to the point of winning a Super Bowl and being named the MVP. The guys acknowledge Autumn Lockwood for becoming the 1st black woman coach to win a Super Bowl. Autumn is the strength and conditioning coach for the Eagles. Kirk also defends his colleague on NFL Radio, Jim Miller, who had received threats for not having Lamar Jackson higher on his MVP ballot. Discussion turns to the President's executive order banning transgender athletes from participating in women's sports. The guys end the show discussing the HBCU Classic this weekend during NBA All-Star Weekend in the Bay Area pitting Morehouse against Tuskegee.

  • The NFL Continues To Support DEI
    Feb 6 2025

    Jason & Amin discuss the NFL continuing its support of DEI. Roger Goodell spoke about how opening up the talent pool at all levels has benefited the league. The guys point out that it's weird that Roger Goodell makes those comments, yet they also decide to no longer place 'End Racism' in the end zones at this year's Super Bowl, all the while the President, who is making ending DEI a priority, will be in attendance. Amin feels the timing is just a little too coincidental. Discussion turns to the NBA gambling investigations and how some college teams, including HBCUs, are involved in unusual wavering activity. Every sport needs to do whatever it needs to do to protect its integrity. The show wraps with a conversation on how some colleges & pro teams are celebrating Black History Month.
