With the NFL and MLB on hiatus for the day, Hour 1 is all about the NBA today. The Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors got testy last night, resulting in Klay Thompson getting ejected.

From doing too much to not doing enough, the Dallas Mavericks fell to the New Orleans Pelicans who didn’t have Zion...

With another 24 hours to sit on Monday’s report of the benching of Matt Ryan in Indianapolis, Calvin believes head coach Frank Reich may not have had a choice in the matter. He talks to Colt Nation and hears back from some of them too in Hour 2. In the NBA, the San Antonio Spurs have shocked the region with a 3-1 start, and head coach Gregg Popovich is addressing the matter of tanking… kind of. Mu...

When it comes to traditions, the world can get pretty particular when they aren’t followed. Texas head football coach Steve Sarkisian felt the eyes of the boosters on him when he led team off the field on Saturday without pausing for the school’s alma mater in front of the fans. The coach has since issued an apology, but Calvin has an issue with the school’s attachment to the song. From one iconic...

Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady have put their teams in tough spots, and both squads are looking rough through the first seven games of the season.

Speaking of bad quarterback play, Matt Ryan has been benched for the Indianapolis Colts for his poor performance thus far, never mind his “injury”. That put...

JC Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady all either received massive contracts or held up their teams this offseason, but none of them are getting the heat for underperforming that Russell Wilson is.

Music provided by Ti...

Just one game into the season, a fan base that was calling for the team to tank is now calling for the franchise to fire head coach Gregg Popovich. Outside of the Alamo City, other teams got going last night too, and Calvin is liking what the Portland Trail Blazers have going one game in. M...

In baseball, yesterday’s ALDS Game 5 between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians was postponed due to weather. One...

Calvin was high on Bailey Zappe on Friday, and he’s only backing him more after the New England Patriots third-string signal-caller shredded the Browns.

After the game, Ron Rivera got hot on the mic at the press conference, and Calvin’s calling out his fake rage. Ahead of Week 7 in the c...

The Washington Commanders are in action tonight, but the real story surrounding the team is owner Dan Snyder threatening to spill the dirt on the NFL.

As the weekend approaches, Calvin takes a deeper dive into the upcoming games, including tonight’s contest between the Baylor Bears and West V...

It was a bad look for the Golden State Warriors last week when a video of Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole at practice went viral. After taking some time away from the team, Green is back and ready to play after facing no punishment. Is everything still golden with the Warriors? In the MLB, the Seattle Mariners are back at it with the Houston Astros, looking to even the series. Can they get it...

Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots are coming hot off of a shutout win against the Detroit Lions, despite being down to their third-string quarterback. It took a minute, but it finally dawned on Calvin that Bailey Zappe is the same quarterback who had Western Kentucky rolling last year. Did “The Hoodie” find another late-round franchise quarterback? Mac Jones had better watch out. In the...
