ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Recorded 2/11/2026

Was that the most forgettable Super Bowl in recent memory? Frank breaks down why the biggest game of the year somehow lacked the usual juice, then shifts to a storybook reunion as Justin Verlander returns to Detroit on a one-year deal meant to add veteran leadership to a contending rotation. He also reacts to the chaos in Charlotte after a Pistons-Hornets brawl led to multiple suspensions, including seven games for Isaiah Stewart. And to top it off, a full-circle hockey moment as Frank finally meets Chris Osgood… the same goalie who handed him a stick back in 1999 and signed it decades later.
