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:

Just Ron and Elliott tonight; no Petey! That means we can openly talk Star Wars. We’ll skip baseball tonight and focus on the thing Pete walked away from in disgust. 📺 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. Enjoy everything. 📺 Watch the Livestream: | | | 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott | Ron | 📧 Email:

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.

It’s a short show. (It is not a short show.) With the World Baseball Classic Final happening during the episode, the Team of Rivals crew tries to stay on track while inevitably getting distracted.

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...

Spring Training is in full swing, and the Team of Rivals Podcast is back with all the takes you didn’t know you needed. This week we cover: • This year’s Cardinals Hall of Fame ballot — who joins Albert and Yadi in September? • Pete Crow-Armstrong’s debut as a villain in Dodgers territory • What to do with a potentially “empty” Soldier Field • ABS first impressions Plus, Ron delivers his always-inevitable Soccer Minute, and Elliott… quietly disappears once the recording light goes off. 📺 Watch the Livestream: | | | 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott | Ron | ...

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...
info_outlineThe Cardinals keep finding new ways to lose, from a fan base running out of patience to players losing their minds (looking at you, Willson). Meanwhile, the Cubs try to claw their way back into the NL Central race, but not without Elliott and Pete’s usual mix of drama, anxiety, and over-analysis. The Team also debates rumored MLB expansion cities (spoiler: Nashville comes up, because of course it does). And finally, Ron delivers another extended Soccer Minute with double the heartbreak, as both Newcastle and City lose late, but in very different ways. Maybe it’s Ron…?
