  • No Vision, No Future: The Chicago Bulls
    Apr 1 2026

    0:00 Chicago Bulls

    22:25 NFL / Steve Tisch

    33:49 NFL / Psychotherapists

    40:15 C.B. Bucknor

    48:04 MJ's house


    The Chicago Bulls appear stuck with no clear direction or long-term plan, and even Josh Giddey—one of the few players who truly matters to the future—is openly questioning what’s going on. Reports suggest Billy Donovan may be nearing the end of his run in Chicago, and it’s hard to blame him. As long as the United Center continues to sell out, ownership seems content with the status quo.

    Around the league, serious questions are being raised about the NFL and Roger Goodell, including scrutiny over Giants board member and owner Steve Tisch and his past associations—issues the league doesn’t seem eager to address. On a more positive note, the NFL is taking a meaningful step forward by requiring each team to employ a full-time psychotherapist for players.

    In baseball, C.B. Bucknor is once again at the center of controversy, and after his performance at first base in last night’s Brewers game, it’s fair to ask whether MLB needs to step in and have a serious conversation. We wrap things up with more unexpected drama involving Michael Jordan’s former home, which will not become a museum as the new owner had hoped.

  • Chicago Bulls waive Jaden Ivey | Organizational Due Diligence?
    Mar 31 2026

    0:00 Jaden Ivey

    26:40 Peacock Broadcast

    35:50 ABS

    50:40 Art Heist and Art Squad


    The Bulls have waived Jaden Ivey following concerning behavior on social media, prompting broader questions both about player wellness and organizational due diligence. From the outside, it raises eyebrows as to how this behavior wasn’t flagged prior to the trade, especially with reports that it was already known in Detroit and factored into the Pistons’ decision to move on from the once-promising young guard.

    In Major League Baseball, the new ABS challenge system has been well received by fans early in the season. We explore how increased data collection could ultimately impact umpire performance evaluations and the future of officiating behind the plate.

    Plus, we dive into the world of crime and culture, featuring discussions on Art Heist and Art Squad in this episode of DBU.

  • Duke CHOKES | Illinois ADVANCES to take on UCONN
    Mar 30 2026

    0:00 Duke - Illinois

    26:26 Cubs

    35:00 Matt's Trip

    44:00 MJ's House

    54:40 Anti-Matter

    1:01:00 DBU Picks


    March Madness delivered a stunner as Duke blew a 15‑point halftime lead, becoming the first No. 1 seed in tournament history to lose a game after leading by 15 or more at the break—dropping the record for those teams to 134‑1. We break down the collapse and what it says about pressure in the tournament.

    Meanwhile, Illinois takes down Iowa to punch its ticket to the Final Four and now faces UConn on Saturday with a shot at a national championship. Arizona and Michigan round out the field—how does this Final Four stack up?

    On the baseball side, the Cubs and Tom Ricketts continue spending to secure the future. With Nico Hoerner joining Pete Crow‑Armstrong as long-term extensions, what message does this send to fans—and more importantly, to players knowing they’re mentally and financially locked in for years to come?

    We also dive into a couple of head-scratchers:


    The owner of Michael Jordan’s former mansion proposes a plan for Highland Park that we think is flat-out silly

    Anti-matter is being moved, which—call us cautious—does not sound particularly safe


    Plus, we wrap it up with DBU Picks for Monday night NBA action.
