As life continues to turn back to normal in the year 1 A.C. (After COVID), baseball will have its normal Hall of Fame ceremony in front of people. But we at IMLD didn't miss a beat, getting in our Hall of Infamy inductions last year and this. There are still no shortages of people and events that are infamous and deserve their own spotlight. Join Jay and this year's hardball inductee Dre for all the pomp and circumstance!   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

In Much Less Detail: The Podcast

IMLD's 2021 MLB Hall of Infamy Induction Show

Jay and Dre catch up on the happenings in this second Summer of COVID, coinciding with a Summer of Guns, as the Washington Nationals found out firsthand. The NBA Finals swing sharply from Suns in 4 to Bucks possibly running off 4 in a row. The Olympics are a hot mess, and they haven't even started yet. And Jay took his kids to a Cubs-Brewers game and a Bears-Pack clash broke out.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS: Take Me Out To The (Foot)Ballgame...

Jay and Dre check in on the sports world as the summer heats up. What will become of the new crackdown by MLB on "substance abuse" by pitchers? What will become of Julio Jones in his new role as veteran receiver for the Titans? Is the new blood rising in the NBA playoffs good for the game or a poor substitute for the missing stars? And how horrifying is it to have feet on your back as part of your massage?   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS: Death To The Spin Doctors

Dre said the Chicago celebration for the Bears moving up to draft Justin Fields would last all summer, and Dre and Jay welcome Kass and one of the biggest Bears fanatics, Renard from Football Fan Rush Radio to chat about the pick. Is it cause for partying in Chi-Town, or is it just a desperate last-minute gambit by GM Ryan Pace? Should the fans feel confident that Matt Nagy can coach Fields up? Is the Chi setting itself up for another diasppointment? And who should take the field in Week 1, Fields or "QB1" Andy Dalton?   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS: Bears Yay Or Nay w/ FFRR

The first round of the NFL Draft had a shadow hanging over it this year, as news of Packers great Aaron Rodgers' discontent spread everywhere. But while the presence of Green Bay possibly trading their Hall of Famer away was felt, it was division rival Chicago that made the bold move up (again) to get a new quarterback in Justin Fields. Jay and Dre look back on a night that saw three signal callers go in the first three picks and five in the first round overall, and a night that felt celebratory and over-the-top, just as you'd think the league would do in its first Draft with fan interaction since COVID.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS 2021 NFL Draft Aftermath: Welcome To Soldier Fields

Jay and Dre are happy to welcome back Dave the Movie Expert to examine 2020's eccentric list of movies nominated for the Academy Award. In the wake of last year's nationwide police evildoing, 1960s Chi-Town unrest is fertile ground for two different films. Will one of them claim the Oscar? Will Chadwick Boseman be posthumously honored with a Best Actor statue? And how the heck did the two standout performances in Judas and the Black Messiah both garner Supporting Actor nominations? Supporting who, each other??   Aftershow: Dre finally reviews WrestleRainia   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS 2021 Oscars Preview: Dark Chicago Chronicles

Jay and Dre relive the, um, unique experience that was their baseball fantasy league holding an all-day draft over Zoom. It went about as one would expect. Jay also reviews his family vacation in Missouri, and Dre talks about COVID vaccinations. And because it's a potpourri show, who knows what else will be discussed.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS: Hello? Is This Thing On??

WWE gets to rewind and try Wrestlemania in the same venue as they would have last year before Coronavirus struck. There will be thousands less in attendance than there would be in the Super Bowl champions house in Tompa Bay, but there will be some fans. So what does WWE do after having a fiftysomething (Oldberg) fighting for a title last year? They have a near-fiftysomething (Edge) fighting this year for a title. When will WWE admit they have a problem building new stars? Jay and Dre welcome Jerry the Wrestling Expert to chat about the go-home Raw and the upcoming wknd. They also will touch on the ongoing best story in wrestling, the rise of All Elite.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS Wrestlemania XXXVII Preview: Livin' On The Edge

Last year thanks to COVID, baseball was not The Show. It was more like a Three Stooges short. But now the whole full-length feature returns, and Jay and Dre check out every team as the normal 162 is set to be played. Dre's White Sox and Jay's Cubbies are going in different directions. What are their thoughts on the Chicago franchises? What clubs are ready to make the jump into legit contenders? And after finally reaching the pinnacle, can the Dodgers do it again and win another World Series? No matter what happens, fans will celebrate as baseball gets a full slate again.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS 2021 Baseball Preview: Full-Length Feature

The Big Dance is back, and despite it not being the same as the countrywide tournament it usually is, we sports fans will gladly take it. It's the latest in the slow return to life as we used to know it before that damned virus. Jay and Dre dig into the brackets for their upsets and championship picks. With so many college hoops legacy teams struggling (and Duke not even in the field), it seems wide open for a squad not normally in title games to take the crown down. Will it finally be Gonzaga's year? Will Baylor rise to the occasion? Will one of the two Big Ten teams that grabbed top seeds come through? Join the boys for hot bracket chatter after a year of isolation.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS 2021 March Badness Preview: A Glimmer Of Normalcy

Snow and ice and harsh winter weather are no strangers to Chi-Town natives Jay and Dre. But Jay has resided in central Wisconsin for years, so he is even deeper immersed in polar weather, whereas Dre has resided in the Mid-South for the last decade and thus was ill-prepared for the Icing of America a couple weeks ago. The boys talk about their experiences with the awful conditions, and touch on other topics like a baseball exec saying the quiet part out loud, a basketball owner doing what he thought was best until the league got wind of it, and the John Cena of the NFL landing in the desert.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

KONS: Polar Week In America (Miami Not Invited)

Jay called for a Super Duper Shellacking, and by God that's what he got. But no one could have seen this dominant Bucs smashing coming, not when Pat Mahomes had never lost a pro game by double digits coming in to the Big Game. The guys look back on a complete tail-whipping by Tompa Bay of Kansas City, which as it turns out is not the next Chicago Bulls, at least not yet.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

Super Duper Bowl LV Recap: Tawmy's Seventh Heaven

In the latest oddity related to coronavirus in this NFL season, the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs were having haircuts administered by their team barber...when he was yanked mid-cut due to a positive COVID-19 test. The Chiefs were lucky to not have their Super Duper Bowl derailed by COVID, but now they face their toughest test--the ageless Tom Brady and the homestanding Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Who do Jay and Dre have in this clash of youth versus experience? And what the heck else will happen before the Big Game is played??   Aftershow: The germ of an idea for a new wing of the Hall of Infamy   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

Super Duper Bowl LV: COVID Barber Almost Scalps Chiefs, Tawmy Next?

This NFL season was as unique as any, with all the uncertainty thanks to the (1st?) Year of COVID-19. But somehow the season went through, every game was eventually played no matter the delays, and the cream rose to the top while the crap sank to the bottom. Jay and Dre welcome their listeners to their annual Honors and Dishonors, giving the awards that the league doesn't want to give. The best--and worst--from 2020 will be recognized, so log on and enjoy the show!   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0

IMLD's 2020 Honors & Dishonors

The boys sneak in their thoughts on the two conference title games an hour before Championship Sunday kicks off. First, the old lions decide the NFC in winter conditions as Tom Brady leads Tampa Bay into the frozen tundra to battle Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Then the young cubs settle the AFC as Josh Allen takes Buffalo into chilly Kansas City to challenge Patrick Mahomes and the defending champion Chiefs.   Theme credit: "Deep Of The Street" by Jeremie Guerrier   CC BY-ND 4.0
