"SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT TRYSTA!"

Dan is back from L.A., and he's shit-stirring with his very first words on the mic. After recapping the events from his time away, he asks why no one in the South Florida media has come for Pat Riley or Erik Spoelstra's job because of the lack of Kel'el Ware minutes alongside Bam Adebayo despite the Heat coming off a GREAT win over the Rockets where Ware and Adebayo played important minutes together and got everyone in America back to believing they can make some noise. (Yes, this is Jeremy writing this description.)

Today's cast: Dan, Zaslow, Chris, Jeremy, JuJu, Mike, and Trysta.

Is Cade Cunningham getting the respect he deserves… or is the hype machine in overdrive?

This week on Alley Oop, Juju and Trysta welcome Zach Harper from The Athletic for a full-on NBA debate episode — and things get SPICY.

We kick things off with the big question:

• Is Cade Cunningham an MVP candidate… or are we getting ahead of ourselves?
Does he deserve praise for carrying Detroit — or shade for the results?

From there, the besmirching spreads:

• Are the Spurs the second-best team in the West?
• Can ANYONE beat Team USA in Olympic basketball?
• Who are the true powerhouses — East vs West?
• Why won’t Luka shoot when he’s WIDE OPEN?!
• Kelsey Plum does an Aliyah Boston elbow impression and we cannot recover.

It’s debates, hot takes, chaos, and a LOT of shade.

If you love NBA debates, spicy basketball takes, and zero chill analysis — you’re in the right place.

Team USA's men's and women's hockey teams have returned from Milan with the double gold, but Roy is not happy with the men's behavior in the wake of the gold medal win. The whole gang is also unhappy with the behavior of some hockey reporters around the country, who are asking players returning from Milan about their Olympic experiences, including Macklin Celebrini and Connor McDavid. Rose sets the stage for the final sprint of the season in Rosa En Un Minuto, and in wins and fails, Dave loves a new goalie celebration, Ethan celebrates Aleksander Barkov, Rose makes fun of the Maple Leafs, and Roy highlights Connor McDavid coming up short again. Then, Jonathan Zaslow joins the show to discuss the reaction to the men's behavior in the locker room following the gold medal match and the Florida Panthers' dominant win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in their return to action Thursday.

"I think people struggle with the fundamental element of hockey being played on ice."

Sara Civian of Bleacher Report and the Too Many Men podcast joins the show to discuss everything that has happened since the US men's hockey team took home the gold medal in Milan, and the restart of the NHL season.

Then our discussion of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees devolves into signing Dave Mariah Carey songs because he somehow didn't know any Mariah Carey songs.

"They tryna make me Amin Elhassan!"

Dan's inner monologue is very excited to talk about some NFL media news after Tony Dungy was let go from Football Night in America.

Would Team USA have declined Dan Le Batard's offer to pay for their drinks at E11even? When did Dave become a commie? Did E11even actually cash the check that Pat McAfee wrote them? When did Yankee Doodle Dandy become the Soviet National Anthem? Would Mike Ryan feel the same way about Matthew Tkachuk hanging out at Elbo Room yesterday if he were not 2x Stanley Cup Champion Matthew Tkachuk? Does everyone know The Great Pickle of 2025?

Jay Bilas knows excellence. From his time on the court to his time in the courtroom and broadcast booth, Jay has one hell of a work ethic and fought for what’s right without ever seeking recognition in return. If he did, his wife and kids would be the first to call him out on it…

From their conversation in February 2024, Jay and Dan recognize a fellow workaholic when they see one and explore their parents’ influence on their drive. Jay reflects on the challenge of living in the moment and the “gut punch” of learning to say no to opportunities in order to prioritize his family, and what he learned from his high school acting teacher that no coach could ever teach him. They also connect on the profound role their wives have had in shaping their lives and getting them out of their own heads.
