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?

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.

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.

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. Seriously.

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.
This week:
⚾ WBC talk and live reactions
🎬 Elliott takes over the pop culture segment with a SPOILER-FREE review of Project Hail Mary
⚽ Ron delivers his Soccer Minute (duration may vary)

And yes… we'll see you next Tuesday.

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.

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 retirement leaves the Bears with an unexpected hole at center… because of course it does. We break down what it means and how concerned fans should be (answer: it's the Bears).
We wrap with Ron's Soccer Minute, where he recounts a week so bad it crossed international borders. Across the pond. Here in the States. Misery without a passport.
No rundown. No structure. Just Cubs, Cardinals, Bears, and a little global suffering.
Leave a 5-star review. Tell a friend. Preferably one who overreacts to Spring Training.

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.

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 out over his skis after Newcastle embarrassed Qarabağ
Plus: offseason delusions, civic brinksmanship, and the usual refusal to stay on topic for more than four consecutive minutes.
Are we really doing this?
Yes. Yes, we are.

This week is a buffet episode.
Will we talk about PECOTA projections and why spreadsheets continue to attack your favorite team? Probably.
Will we mock "best shape of my life" season in Spring Training? Feels inevitable.
Nick Castellanos? Kris Bryant's annual injury update? The Chicago stadium saga now featuring Iowa? The preseason #8 Bears? Newcastle winning while Thomas Frank… does not?
All possible. None promised.
This is that time of year where optimism is undefeated, renderings look incredible, power rankings mean everything, and we convince ourselves it's different this time.
We'll attempt structure. We make no guarantees.
Come hungry.

This week on the Team of Rivals Podcast: Ron, Pete, and Elliott are back with plenty to say, including
⚾ The Cardinals rebuild and some Cubs conversation
⚽ Ron's Soccer Minute
🏈 Is the end in sight for the Bears' new stadium?

The Party's Over.
And no, we're not talking about your weekend. Kyle Tucker signed, the baseball hot stove is finally boiling over, and the Bears… well, they've left their fans with the perfect mix of sadness, frustration, and hopeful optimism.
Join Pete, Ron, and Elliott as they break down:
The Kyle Tucker contract and why baseball might be careening toward irrelevance.
Trades, rumors, and chaos — how the 2026 hot stove is finally living up to the hype.
The Bears' season finale: disappointment, confusion, and a faint glimmer of hope.
Plus, Ron delivers a fresh Soccer Minute — because we like to keep chaos international.

It's a big week in Cubs, Cardinals, Bears, and soccer news, and the Team of Rivals Podcast is here to break it all down. This week we discuss:
• The Cubs trade for Edward Cabrera
• Alex Bregman signs with the Cubs
• The Cardinals finally move Nolan Arenado
• Rob Manfred's in-season tournament proposal
• Da Bears, making their usual noise, this time in the playoffs!
• Ron's Soccer Minute

New Logo. Old Feed. Same Arguments.
After a two-week hiatus that accomplished absolutely nothing, the Team of Rivals Podcast is back.
We're kicking off Season 10, Episode 3 with:
⚾ A check-in on the offseason (yes, Cubs and Cardinals fans, we know you're still mad)
🏈 The Bears' upcoming playoff run and how confident we're supposed to feel
🏟️ The latest chapter in the never-ending Bears stadium saga
⚽ And, of course, Ron's Soccer Minute, which he swears will be quick. (It will not.)
Nothing has changed. We regret nothing.
👍 Like, 💬 comment, and 🔔 subscribe so the algorithm knows we still exist (and hasn't replaced us yet).

You thought you were getting a break from us for a couple of weeks.
(And, honestly, we were looking forward to a break from you.)
But here we are.
This surprise episode has nothing to do with the Bears' wild Saturday night win.
It also has absolutely nothing to do with the Cardinals trading Willson Contreras.
We just… missed you. Probably.
We do a quick hit on everything that's happened over the last four days before we send you back into your holiday haze.
Short episode. Loose agenda. Zero promises.
