“Not the Game but the Ringzzzz” | Ep. 475

The Full Go with Jason Goff

‘The Full Go’ returns as Jason comes out of the gate talking about Sammy Sosa apologizing and the Cubs finally welcoming Sosa back to Wrigley Field. He talks about how Sosa saved the Cubs and why the return was long overdue. Next, Jason gets into the Zach LaVine trade rumors after the star guard had 36 points in the Bulls’ win over the Celtics. He also discusses Ayo Dosunmu’s professionalism, Julian Phillips’s ascension into a prominent bench role, and why it’s OK to be positive about the Bulls for once (1:50). Next, Jason gets into the great NBA ratings debate. He discusses what’s wrong in the NBA stylistically, how fandom has changed, and why Michael Jordan is to blame for the current rings culture (24:08). To wrap, Meghan Montemurro from the Chicago Tribune joins to talk about why the Cubs traded Cody Bellinger, Jed Hoyer’s job security, and what Cubs fans can expect from the team for the rest of the offseason (44:04).
