Show Notes
On this Thursday edition of SportsWrap with Jason Page, we open with The Big Story and a growing trend in American sports — athletes increasingly becoming political lightning rods in issues dividing the country. Jason weighs in on where the line should be drawn and what it means for leagues, fans, and players alike.
Part 2 of The Big Story shifts to a potential FCC challenge involving pro sports leagues and their move toward paid streaming platforms. What could this mean for viewers, broadcasters, and the future of how games are distributed?
Sam Yarnell joins the show to break down MLB Spring Training headlines from the AL East, including concerns surrounding Giancarlo Stanton’s elbow issues and Max Scherzer returning for a 19th MLB season in Toronto.
Professional Bowler Kyle Troup joins Jason for an in-depth conversation ahead of the PBA’s Pete Weber Missouri Classic. We discuss snapping a two-year winless drought, watching his father “Guppy” enter the PBA Hall of Fame, and the direction of the tour under new leadership.
We also dive into comments from Super Bowl Champion GM John Schneider at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
In Odds & Ends, we react to the UConn Huskies dominating St. John’s and discuss Jontay Porter’s return to professional basketball.
All that and more on a packed Thursday edition of SportsWrap with Jason Page.
