This week on Because I Have a Live Mic, I talk about why the Pro Bowl doesn’t mean much anymore and how the NFL kind of did this to itself. I also get into why the Chicago Bears should not even think about trading DJ Moore, no matter what the offer looks like. On the NBA side, I break down why the NBA trade deadline felt quiet and what that says about the league right now. I also look ahead at what the future of the Chicago Bulls could and should look like. And to wrap it up, we’re officially in WrestleMania season, so I talk about why this stretch still matters.

Why Seattle Wins the Super Bowl & Nobody Wants the Philly or Cleveland Jobs

This week on the podcast, we break down the NFC and AFC Championship games and why I’m planting my flag early on Seattle winning the Super Bowl this season. We dig into the coaching carousel and explain why nobody wants the OC job in Philly or the head coaching job in Cleveland right now. I also talk about why the Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy doesn’t really move the needle and what it actually says about where that franchise is headed. Plus, we get into what the Raiders should do with the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and whether a full reset makes more sense than chasing a quarterback. And to wrap it up, we show some love to the NBA as Derrick Rose gets his jersey retired, reflecting on what his career meant to the game and to fans.

On this episode of Because I Have a Live Mic, we break down the upcoming Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers matchup, preview the rivalry, and debate whether the NFC North is now the toughest division in the NFL. We also address the Packers injury situation, why I’m not happy about it, and why celebrating player injuries — even to a rival — is never a win. In college football, we dive into the hot take everyone’s arguing about: is Fernando Mendoza the worst Heisman Trophy winner ever, or is that label unfair? We also explain why NFL teams aren’t frauds — they’re flawed, and how that distinction matters when evaluating playoff contenders. Plus, we step outside the NFL to talk WWE news, including John Cena’s “last match ever” in the WWE and what it means for wrestling fans.
