In Episode 24, Kyle and Isaiah deliver another wild ride through the sports world, covering everything from NIL controversy and Skip Bayless’ hottest takes to Rory McIlroy’s historic career grand slam, plus MLB surprises and NBA playoff chaos. They kick things off with the usual What’s in the Cup? segment; Isaiah’s still sipping Johnny Walker Black, while Kyle switches it up with $40 tequila and commentary that’s just as smooth.
NIL is officially outta control. The guys go off on the latest college football drama, focusing on Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava’s $8 million NIL demands and the fallout that followed. Kyle goes full rant mode on entitlement, social media branding, and why college players are forgetting they’re still, well… college students.
Skip Bayless makes another headline, thanks to a fiery Jubilee debate, claiming Tom Brady was 80% of the Patriots dynasty and Bill Belichick is overrated. The hosts break down that take and get into a bigger conversation: Can we really call Belichick the GOAT without Brady?
Rory McIlroy completes the career grand slam at the Masters and joins an elite list of only six golfers to win all four major championships. Kyle explains how the golf scoring system works like you’re in first grade, and Isaiah considers picking up golf for networking (and day drinking) purposes.
Then it’s on to the NBA Play-In Tournament and playoff preview, where Jimmy Butler’s playoff takeover gets the respect it deserves. Meanwhile, the Warriors still haunt Isaiah’s dreams and Draymond is once again public enemy #1.
Wrapping things up, the MLB segment covers the Padres’ hot start, Angels finally waking up, and why the Dodgers are today’s Yankees (but with actual money). They also roast teams that had generational talent and still did nothing with it; RIP to the Shohei + Trout era in Anaheim.
