The Swoosh, The Shade, and The Woke Mob + Cubs Owner Todd Ricketts Wants BIG CHANGES To Avoid A Potential MLB Lockout

Dan isn't here to give you a participation trophy, and he’s certainly not here to ignore the obvious.

In this episode, Dan breaks down the controversial Nike "Winner Takes It All" signage at the Boston Marathon. While the running world is busy clutching its pearls over "elitism" and "corporate arrogance," Dan brings it back to reality: Since when did we start apologizing for wanting to win?

Plus, Dan Dakich and Todd Ricketts dive deep into the pending MLB lockout and the essential changes needed to protect the future of professional baseball. This wide-ranging interview also covers the Chicago Bears' potential move, the evolution of Wrigley Field, and how the Ricketts family balances politics, biased media, and the legacy of a World Series title.
