Sports Chasers Podcast | Episode 499 | The Weekend Rewind
Monday, April 13, 2026 | Host: D-Dubbz | Panel: The Angry1 & The D.A.
One episode away from 500. Tonight D-Dubbz drives the bus solo as host
and moderator, joined by The Angry1 and The D.A. for a full breakdown of
the biggest sports stories of the weekend — no hot takes, no narratives,
just real talk.
TONIGHT'S BIGGEST STORIES:
⛳ RORY McILROY — BACK-TO-BACK MASTERS CHAMPION
McIlroy wins the 2026 Masters at 12-under, beating Scottie Scheffler by 1
shot to become only the 4th golfer ever to win consecutive green jackets,
joining Nicklaus, Faldo, and Tiger Woods. His 6th career major. The D.A.
breaks down every twist of the final round.
🔴 THE RUSSINI & VRABEL STORY THE MEDIA ISN'T COVERING
The Athletic confirmed a formal investigation into NFL reporter Dianna Russini
after photos surfaced of her with Patriots HC Mike Vrabel at an Arizona resort.
She is suspended. He skipped the pre-draft press conference. Both married. The
crew asks why sports media is blacking this out — and what it means for the
credibility of NFL insider reporting.
🏈 NFL DRAFT PREVIEW
10 days to Pittsburgh. QB Fernando Mendoza (Indiana) is the consensus #1
pick to the Raiders. LBs Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles. RB Jeremiyah Love.
Plus: Cowboys safety Markquese Bell faces felony drug charges before the
biggest week of the football calendar.
🏀 NBA PLAYOFFS & PLAY-IN BREAKDOWN
Knicks vs. Hawks. Anthony Edwards vs. Denver. Charlotte as a dark horse.
Doc Rivers' coaching legacy questioned. Giannis' future — is he worth it
for the Knicks? Plus a live WNBA Draft recap.
🥊 BOXING + 📬 DEAR JAMES (NEW SEGMENT)
Heavyweight division in decline — and a new segment debuts as James answers
a fan question about women in professional baseball.

⭐ HIGHLIGHTED CHAPTER — MUST LISTEN:
🎯 "Russini & Vrabel — The Scandal Sports Media Won't Touch"
⏱️ Starts at: 05:46 | Full segment runs through 17:34
The crew breaks down the formal investigation, the media blackout, the
conflict of interest in Russini's past NFL reporting, the AJ Brown
connection, and what accountability actually looks like when a reporter
gets too close to their source. This is the conversation the major
networks refused to have — and Sports Chasers had it live.
