Since then, they have dropped to the fifth seed in the East and have lost most of their positive vibes. The White Sox entered the offseason with clear needs and goals in mind. As the dust settles following the lockout and the Sox prepare for the season to begin, most of their roster’s holes haven’t been filled. Jason and Chris try to make sense of where the Sox are, and where they’re going (21:05). We’ve seen all the memes, heard all the jokes, and watched the Will Smith slap ad nauseam.

As we sit on the verge of regular-season games being canceled, Jason tries to picture not only what baseball will look like in 2022 but beyond that. The lockout has already deprived baseball fans of a hot stove season and the anticipation of spring, but is the game strong enough to withstand a work stoppage in a post-COVID world (12:20)? Ringer staff writer Zach Kram has had a close eye on the Bulls this season, and he sits down with Jason Goff to look at some of the big-picture issues facing the team down the stretch (19:35). Are the Bulls’ scoring options good enough to withstand an opponent’s game plan in a playoff series (22:50)? How will Zach LaVine’s back hold up (34:30)? And can DeMar DeRozan carry this team beyond the end of the regular season (37:05)? Plus, what does Zach think about the Ja Morant–Derrick Rose comparisons that began to surface this weekend (40:44)?

Dave joins ‘The Full Go’ to analyze the science of stand-up, his creative process, and getting advice from Dave Chappelle (22:51).

Rodgers posted a series of images on his Instagram that may hint at his future with the Packers. Except, it turned out to be nothing after Rodgers didn’t break any news about his future on the 'The Pat McAfee Show.' Either way, it was an expert troll job by the GOAT (58:19).

‘The Full Go’ begins with Jason’s recap of NBA All-Star Weekend (01:00). For many basketball fans, All-Star Weekend has always been a special time to celebrate the game.

Times bestselling author) joins the show to discuss her profile of DeMar DeRozan (15:00). DeMar’s late-career renaissance with the Bulls didn’t happen overnight, and the road to getting here was treacherous.

As the second half of the NBA season begins, the power vacuum in the East is up for grabs after the Ben Simmons–James Harden trade. However, there was something that bothered Jason about the way the trade was covered by some in the media (33:00). Big Ten basketball was interesting for about 30 seconds on Sunday.

As we find ourselves at the NBA All-Star break, this is usually the time when baseball fans begin to get excited for their summer companion. However, with the lockout ongoing, baseball is looking at losing not only regular-season games, but new fans as well. We’ve hit the All-Star break, and we’re still looking for new ways to describe what DeMar DeRozan is doing this season. After breaking a record set by Wilt Chamberlain, DeRozan’s game also happens to resemble another all-time great who Bulls fans should be familiar with. Jason discusses what we’ve learned about DeRozan so far this season, and why he has been such a breath of fresh air (19:42). Jason got a chance to catch up with Cameron Jordan of the New Orleans Saints while on radio row for the Super Bowl.

Joe Cowley (Chicago Sun-Times) has seen a lot during his tenure covering the Bulls, from the D-Rose years to the rebuild and today’s new regime. He and Jason discuss the biggest story lines behind the Bulls’ success this year (17:07), why Bulls fans shouldn’t view this team through the lens of a championship window (22:13), and what has impressed Joe the most about Arturas Karnisovas (29:22).

‘The Full Go’ begins in the wake of the class-action lawsuit filed by Brian Flores against the NFL over the league’s hiring practices (01:26). Jason highlights how this story is no surprise to anyone paying attention, how we as NFL fans are all complicit, and how the league’s power structure may prohibit any real change.
