The Relationship Has Been Consummated

Under the Bus

Join our cantankerous crew of elder statemen of the sports world as former ESPN SportsCenter anchor Bob Stevens holds court with legendary high school hoops coach Rich Basirico and Hall of Fame sportswriter and commentator Curry Kirkpatrick!

This week, we learn that new UNC coach Bill Belichick "won over" Curry, who is still in freakin' Maui, and now believes the legendary coach can win in Chapel Hill. The whole crew likes Tennessee and SMU as potential upset picks in the first round of the College Football Playoffs, and everyone has Oregon in the finals of their bracket, but Curry is going with the Dawgs to win it all. Plus, where has All-Name Team shoo-in Cam Skattabo been all our lives?

College hoops is heating up, and our resident hoop heads Curry and Rich are sold on the SEC, but they see UConn has gotten off the canvas and can't wait to throw Dan Hurley back UNDER THE BUS as soon as possible. Plus, tales of under-the-table payments to recruits in the before times of college athletics compared with the massive NIL deals luring big-time recruits to unlikely programs.

Bob tolls the bell for the 2024 Detroit Lions after a demoralizing loss to Buffalo coupled with another handful of key injuries, but Curry stands up for the Lions' offense and his boy Josh Allen and reads the Bills' running back depth chart. Rich gets in his weekly dig at Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and his usual dose of doubt about Sam Darnold. Curry calls out Colts RB Jonathan Taylor for costing himself a touchdown and his team a win — and possibly a playoff spot — and Bob makes a speedbump out of 49ers LB De'Vondre Campbell for refusing to play, which earned him the right to not play again this season. Rich smacks around Caleb Williams and everyone who anointed him the next big thing, and Curry clamors about injury reporting, insisting we're all "day-to-day" except Santa Claus, who is only one day.

Plus, Bob shares war stories from the SportsCenter days, reflecting on his time working with Charlie Steiner, Bob Ley, and Robin Roberts, among others.
