How did Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera’s Ubiquiti technology end up in the hands of Vladimir Putin’s military? And how did we get from Ja Morant, Justin Timberlake and Kevin Hart… to drone strikes on Ukraine and an illegal trade war in Russia? Hunterbrook Media’s Sam Koppelman breaks down how his reporters investigated from a bird’s-eye view, to a high-end Moscow dealer, to undercover calls back home — and asks what the hell Adam Silver’s gonna do about another billionaire scandal hiding in plain sight.

Golf can be for the people. But politics has come to the tee-boxes of Washington, D.C., as Donald Trump literally dumps his East Wing dirt on public courses, with a gilded mission to re-shape the people’s fairway — and a historically Black home of the sport — in his own image. Garrett Morrison of Fried Egg Golf explains the rubber-stamp meetings, pimp-my-ride addendums and bros in the ear of a president chasing faux-luxury waterfalls, A.I. logos and… asbestos?

Chuck Klosterman joins Pablo Torre for an interview on his book "Football" and the future of a game that seems too big to stop: What happened to the egghead prophecy of Peak Football? Is 11 minutes actually the perfect amount of hyper-connective, violent action? And, in a Post-Winning Era, will the relentless gold-mining of fandom threaten the NFL’s cultural dominance, as soon as 2070?

Deflategate. Sign-stealing. Lance Armstrong. The competition is stiff, but no dynasty comes close to trying as hard to get ahead as the Norway ski-jumping team. In a soup-to-nuts collaboration, The Athletic’s Matthew Futterman reports from the nether regions of the Winter Olympics on a national nightmare, a Zapruder tape and a confidential investigative report that will redefine cheating in sports — no matter how impossible it… seams.

What does "maybe" mean in the proxy fight for the Warner Bros. sale to Netflix or Paramount? What’s so bad about that Jaguars reporter encouraging coach Liam Cohen after a playoff loss? And did old white men change the trajectory of Major League Baseball once again… because they underestimated the value of BAMTech? A shockingly woke David Samson and a Pam Bondi’d John Skipper join Pablo Torre to test the limits of truth, screwing and their fiduciary duty in a new full episode of The Sporting Class.

Rainbolt is an internet legend for GeoGuessr — matching a single image with a far-flung location, in the blink of an eye. But this 27-year-old college dropout never wanted to be an influencer. And for a while there, he’d never even left the United States. Pablo Torre links up for an interview on the sports origin story of a modern creator — from Steph Curry meme lord and Kevin Durant DMs, to Travis Kelce matchmaker and alleged CIA agent — while Rainbolt opens his mind to the world he’s been studying… then accepts a special assignment on the Epstein files.

What do Darryl Strawberry, NBA YoungBoy, Changpeng Zhao and a plastic-surgery "slush fund" have in common?

As the NBA’s investigation heats up, Pablo Torre goes behind closed doors on the Kawhi Leonard scandal — and emerges with fresh sunlight: What exactly did the Clippers know about Kawhi’s no-show deal? When did Steve Ballmer really get to know the fraudster who paid him off? And what do Doc Rivers, the Ritz-Carlton and a mysterious briefcase have to do with a "match made in heaven" that the richest owner in sports would rather you ignore? Amin Elhassan and David Samson shake their heads, as we fact-check a timeline that the Clippers want you to believe.

Congressman Ro Khanna got Trump to release more Epstein files — and forecasts "a bombshell month" ahead. But now he wants to fend off nothing less than a populist revolution, with a moral reckoning for unaccountable people who occupy their own islands of prosperity. The rising Democratic star joins Pablo Torre in-studio for a look inside the Venezuela attack, a preview of post-Trump politics, a contract for the post-truck-driver America… and a hot take on Bronny James.
