Team of Rivals Podcast
The OG Team of Rivals duo is back this week as Pete and Ron go old school for a Throwback edition of the podcast. This week: ⚾ The Cubs stayed hot… until they arrived on the West Coast ⚾ The Cardinals continue their baffling cycle of good baseball immediately followed by questionable baseball 🐻 Our Bears Draft reactions and the annual springtime declaration that this changes everything ⚽ Ron’s Soccer Minute expands accordingly now that Ted Lasso is back and Newcastle optimism is once again medically unsafe. No Elliott. No balance. No guarantees this stays on schedule. 📺 Watch...

This week, Pete accepts the challenge Ron threw down weeks ago, referring to himself exclusively in the third person. Can the Team stay on track while tackling ABS and umpires, early NL Central excellence, and the Shohei Roster Rule? Will there be any joy in Ron’s Soccer Minute? And perhaps most importantly, can Ron keep it together while Pete fully commits to the bit? 📺 Watch the Livestream: | | | 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott | Ron | 📧 Email:

It’s April Fools' Eve, and we’re one week into the season, which means it’s the perfect time for wildly confident, probably incorrect baseball takes. Ian Happ is on fire, Jordan Walker might be fixed, and ABS is here and it's a revelation. Some of this is real. Some of this is nonsense. Believe nothing.

Ron is out of town, so naturally the Team of Rivals Podcast goes completely off the rails. In this bonus episode, Elliott and Pete ditch baseball entirely for a full, spoiler-heavy breakdown of Project Hail Mary. From Rocky’s instant GOAT status to that ending — nothing is off-limits. ⚠️ WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS ⚠️ If you haven’t seen the movie yet… go watch it first.

We promised no NFL free agency coverage. So naturally we opened the show trying to figure out what exactly happened with Maxx Crosby. But that was only the beginning of the chaos. This week, we also covered: ⚾ A quick detour into USA's impending loss in the World Baseball Classic 🏀 The ridiculous 83-point performance by Bam Adebayo ⚽ Why Brazilian soccer might be the most dangerous sporting environment in the world ⚽ Ron’s deeply disappointing week of soccer fandom 🎬 A completely unexpected pop culture rabbit hole In other words… the usual Team of Rivals nonsense. 📺 Watch...

The boys showed up with no plan… and somehow covered everything. On this episode of Team of Rivals, we ease into Spring Training with the appropriate level of skepticism (which is to say: none). We also explore a question Cubs fans may not be emotionally prepared for: Where could Ian Happ play next? Hypothetically. Probably. Jurickson Profar’s PED suspension becomes a jumping-off point for a broader conversation about accountability, baseball history, and why this stuff still manages to surprise people. Then we take a hard left turn into Chicago football as Drew Dalman’s sudden...

Baseball is back. The Cubs and Cardinals will throw their first pitches in anger tomorrow, optimism is in the air, and we are all pretending that whatever happens in Arizona and Florida over the next six weeks will not emotionally ruin our summers. Tonight on the Team of Rivals Podcast: ⚾ FINALLY, baseball returns tomorrow 👨👦 A completely normal and healthy discussion about our love for large adult sons (Pozo/MoBaller edition) 🏟️ The Chicago Bears advance the ball to "the half-yard-line" of their increasingly likely move to Northwest Indiana ⚽ Ron might get aggressively...

In this fiery episode of the Team of Rivals Podcast, Ron, Elliott, and Pete tear into the latest MLB drama with all the fire and flair you’d expect. It kicks off with Ron going off on the Dodgers' controversial signing of Roki Sasaki, sparking a heated debate about the growing imbalance in the game. Ron’s so fed up with baseball’s direction, he might just quit being a fan altogether.
The guys then stumble upon a shocking discovery – another podcast using the Team of Rivals name! Naturally, they debate whether to send in the lawyers or just invite the copycats on for a showdown. They dive into the absurdity of not even Googling your podcast name before launching and the lengths people will go for some lazy branding.
Things take a turn when Pete rips into Cubs fans for rolling out the red carpet for Sammy Sosa’s return at this weekend’s Cubs Convention. Pete’s not having it, especially with Sammy’s nonstop thirst for attention – he’s fired up, to say the least.
The mood lightens as the trio shifts gears to honor the legendary Bob Uecker, sharing some of their favorite stories and clips from his career. Ueck’s humor and wit made him a beloved icon in the world of baseball broadcasting, and the guys give him the shout-out he deserves.
Finally, the guys wrap things up with a chat about the Chicago Bears’ coaching search, tossing around names like Mike McCarthy and wondering if the team can finally find a leader who’ll bring some much-needed success.
It's a jam-packed episode full of rants, laughs, and some seriously hot takes. You won’t want to miss it!
