Warmer weather means outdoor sports are back. And that means storylines. Jake is all on board the flag football train. The first PIAA-sanctioned season began in the past week, and Mars, Seneca Valley and North Catholic will be part of the debut season. What can we expect? What's there to be excited about? (Answer: more football!) And is boys flag football next? Derek and Jake also talked about the NBA's tanking "problem." When presented with some ideas, here is what Derek believes might help. And is Mars having the best year overall so far in the 2025-26 school year? Or is another school's athletic department winning our entirely made up "Butler Eagle Bowl?" And you there!
