Drew Duncan Sports Show

Dan Lanning...I hope everybody around the country was watching. Because Indiana walked into that game and exposed Oregon. Discipline beat hype. Organization beat talent. Indiana did the small things Oregon refused to do, and Oregon panicked. Fourth-down football isn’t brave when it’s constant, it’s scared. It’s a coach telling you he doesn’t trust his team to operate inside structure. Indiana neve...

No Alibis. No Sympathy. Just Results. Anthony Joshua didn’t just beat Jake Paul, he exposed the ceiling. Paul said he was “tired” late in the fight. Sure. Everyone gets tired when the running stops and the consequences start. The novelty is gone. The curiosity is gone. And now the question isn’t what’s next for Jake Paul. It’s whether this was always the inevitable end of the experiment once he st...

Joel Klatt trashes college basketball and wants no part of Cinderella stories. Fine. But this is Hot Take Society at full volume — and it’s been spiraling ever since Jim Rome lit the fuse. Let’s not dance around it. Joel Klatt calling college basketball “the worst sport” and rolling his eyes at Cinderella teams isn’t insight, it’s posture. It’s a hot take designed to travel, not to inform. And if...

Notre Dame isn’t playing in a bowl game — and it doesn’t matter. Bowl games have become sponsor-driven propaganda, a way for networks and the NCAA to squeeze ratings and money out of teams that finished 5–7. No other level of football does this. The NFL doesn’t hand out “almost made it” trophies. High school football doesn’t either. So why does college? Then, the Sherrone Moore situation. Jemele H...

Notre Dame Didn’t Blow This, The Committee Did Paul Finebaum wants to run his mouth about Notre Dame “just needing to join a conference.” That is the most tired, surface-level take you could possibly throw out, and it flat-out ignores everything that actually happened. Joining a conference doesn’t magically make a committee suddenly honest. If Notre Dame were in the ACC, we still don’t know they’d...

The Knicks got the win over Cleveland — but let’s not act like they didn’t almost give it away again. It’s the same story we’ve been seeing for years. In February 2022, they blew four double-digit leads in a single month. Then came Miami in 2023. Then Indiana in the playoffs last year — up 14 with under three minutes left, and still lost. At some point, it’s not bad luck. It’s who they are. I also...

In a bruising ACC showdown, Louisville outplayed and out-hustled Miami from start to finish, capitalizing on four turnovers from quarterback Carson Beck — the same mistakes that have long shadowed his career. Beck’s inconsistency once again proved costly, stalling Miami drives and shifting momentum squarely toward the Cardinals. Still, for Miami fans, all is not lost; with the right breaks down th...

You can look at the firing of James Franklin one of two ways. Either it’s a calculated risk — Penn State’s bold declaration that “we want to win, and we want to win now.” Or it’s straight-up buffoonery — a tone-deaf move that ignores where the program was when Franklin took over and how far he brought it. Given the foundation he built, the stability he created, and the consistent relevance he main...

Bill Belichick’s ego is costing recruits at North Carolina as he blocks Patriots scouts out of spite. Joe Flacco’s run in Cleveland looks fragile — how long before Browns fans start chanting for Shedeur Sanders? Jerry Jones wants credit for a Micah Parsons trade he never wanted to make. And the AP Top 25 is already a mess: Kansas State is losing, Alabama looks overrated, USF beat two “ranked” team...

Without Tom Brady, Bill Belichick is just another coach with a losing record — 45% wins compared to Brady’s 70% dominance. NFL owners saw it too, that’s why nobody lined up to hire him. Last night’s disaster with North Carolina getting embarrassed is just more proof: the mystique is gone, the genius label was always propped up by Brady, and Belichick is finally being revealed for who he really is.

Jerry Jones is lying through his teeth about the Micah Parsons trade, Boise State’s beatdown by USF proves preseason polls are a flat-out joke, and Ohio State vs. Texas preview. No fluff—just the raw truth, straight up. #nfl #collegefootball #dallascowboys

Colin Cowherd — now a Baker Mayfield fan? Give me a break. This is the loudest example of sports media hypocrisy: bash a guy for years, then flip when the narrative changes. We debate whether Cowherd ever actually cared about Baker’s play, or if he just wanted him to act like the QB Colin thinks he should be. Next: Deion Sanders. Great coach, sure. But is his real legacy proving he’s an even bette...

We’ve got to stop giving people like Jerry Jones and Jake Paul attention—because the more we feed them, the bigger their egos get. If you take away the spotlight, they fade. In this episode, I break down why Jerry Jones and Jake Paul thrive on headlines, and why ignoring them is the real solution. Plus, I dive deep into the America’s Team documentary on Netflix, unpacking the explosive dynamic bet...

President Donald Trump is potentially going to sign an executive order that would force the federal government to decide if collegiate athletes are employees. Many coaches such as Deion Sanders have advocated for a salary cap. Making college athletes employees would potentially create a cap. But will a cap happen for, NIL? The NCAA would have to force athletes to cap their own worth. Something tha...

UFC and the problem with politics Bellator did this with Jake Hager at least he was a champion wrestler...but still he was able to take a pro fight? CM Punk was allowed to just jump in without a pro career of any kind. They had both of his fights in Chicago to make sure tickets sold to see him..that's local fighter stuff.... Most local combat sports fight nights...are filled with 40 year olds, fro...

When the retirement announcement was made, I'm sure Jon Jones figured he'd get nothing but respect. Instead what followed was chaos. Fans feeling scammed. Aspinall with an empty championship belt. And the heavyweight class left with a talent and respect gap.  Kevin Durant getting traded to Houston didn't surprise anyone. Especially not, KD. But did they sacrifice too much? They gave away a defensi...
