    What If A Coin Flip Landed Magic Johnson in Chicago? | 13
    May 28 2024

    What’s the most you’ve ever lost on a coin toss? What’s the most you’ve ever stood to gain? The Bulls and Lakers once had more than life or death on the line; they had Earvin “Magic” Johnson. The top draft pick in 1979 went to the winner of a toss between LA and Chicago, and we all know how that story played out. But, what if the coin flipped the other way and Magic went to The Chi? Are we now making TV shows about the Showtime Bulls? Does Michael Jordan end up building a dynasty with the 76ers? And, does this alternate flip of the coin lead to Charles Barkley becoming our first Black president?! Find out on Alternate Routes.

    What If Peyton Manning Stayed in Indy? | 12
    May 21 2024

    Before Caitlin Clark was the biggest name in Indiana, one guy ruled the Hoosier state: Petyon Manning. “The Sheriff” may as well have been Governor while quarterbacking the Colts, but in 2012 they shocked the world by cutting him from the team following a potentially career ending neck injury. Manning went on to lead the Broncos to Super Bowl glory, but what if he stayed in Indianapolis? Does Peyton face his brother Eli in The Manning Bowl? Does Andrew Luck go on to create a dynasty in Washington? And would we have ever witnessed the glory of Kirk Cousins in gold chains?! Find out on Alternate Routes.

But, what if the Wolves picked Steph instead of passing him up? Do Curry and Love create a mini-dynasty in Minnesota? Do Klay and Draymond ever make a splash in The Bay?
