Season 7, Ep 23 – The Michael Jordan Episode: Frank’s Birthday Bash, Super Bowl Letdown, NBA Tanking Trouble & Olympic Gold

Season 7, Episode 23 of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank is the Michael Jordan Episode — and it doubles as a birthday celebration for Frank, who officially joins the “63 in ’63” club. Dan and Frank are joined live in the bomb shelter studio by Victor Geikema (Phillipsburg High School athlete, tennis player, swimmer, and ping-pong challenger) and his father Aaron for a fun, wide-ranging episode filled with sports, laughs, and just enough rivalry to keep things interesting.The show kicks off with some friendly Easton vs. Phillipsburg rivalry talk before shifting to a full recap of Frank’s now-legendary Super Bowl party. The food was strong (ham and cheese sliders get top billing), the garlic bread was mysteriously absent, and the game itself? A bit of a dud. The crew breaks down why the Seahawks vs. Patriots matchup lacked national buzz, why the game never really found its rhythm, and whether this Super Bowl will be remembered for anything beyond being underwhelming. They also discuss Bad Bunny’s halftime show, ratings controversy, and whether the spectacle is starting to overshadow the sport.From there, the conversation pivots to bigger-picture NFL questions. The guys analyze projected win totals for next season, debate whether the Giants are on the rise under Harbaugh, question the Cowboys’ defensive rebuild, and wonder what to make of teams like Baltimore, Washington, and Cleveland. Victor stands firm on his Chiefs loyalty while injury concerns loom over Kansas City.The NBA segment dives into tanking — with nearly a third of the league accused of strategically losing to secure draft positioning. Dan questions whether the current system incentivizes failure and explores a tournament-style alternative for lottery teams. The discussion expands into player load management, declining fan engagement, and whether the modern NBA product still resembles the Jordan-era game that made basketball must-watch television.The Olympics bring some much-needed positivity. Frank celebrates Team USA Women’s Hockey capturing gold in dramatic fashion, previews the men’s gold medal showdown with Canada, and reflects on the patriotic magic that only the Olympics can produce. Dan shares concerns about politicization creeping into sports but agrees that moments of national pride still shine through.The episode wraps with church announcements, community shout-outs, and the reminder that while sports are fun, they’re not the ultimate thing.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/
