While we\u2019re gone, enjoy one of our favorite episodes from earlier this season. ----- 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\u2019d 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\u2019s so fed up with baseball\u2019s direction, he might just quit being a fan altogether. The guys then stumble upon a shocking discovery \u2013 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\u2019s return at this weekend\u2019s Cubs Convention. Pete\u2019s not having it, especially with Sammy\u2019s nonstop thirst for attention \u2013 he\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019 coaching search, tossing around names like Mike McCarthy and wondering if the team can finally find a leader who\u2019ll bring some much-needed success. It's a jam-packed episode full of rants, laughs, and some seriously hot takes. You won\u2019t want to miss it! \ud83d\udcfa Watch the Livestream: YouTube | Rumble | Facebook \ud83d\udccc Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott @ToR_Elliott | Ron @ToR_Ron75 | @TheParkSTL \ud83d\udce7 Email: TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com ","author_name":"Team of Rivals Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/directory.libsyn.com\/shows\/view\/id\/teamofrivalspodcast\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39635030\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/197218605"}
