Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank – S6E32: Masters, Mavericks, and Missing Frank

Dan Fox flies solo (well, sort of) in this Magic Johnson episode of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank as Frank Knight is off working some extra hours. But fear not—Dan is joined by longtime friends of the show Josh and Jerry Hooks for an episode that swings from Augusta to the NBA playoffs with plenty of colorful commentary in between.

🎙️ In this episode:

• Easter Reflections & Family Traditions: From Good Friday services to Jerry’s legendary Easter egg hunt, the crew reflects on faith, fellowship, and resurrection.
• Masters Tournament Recap: Josh breaks down Rory McIlroy’s emotional and historic win at Augusta. Jerry... caught the last putt. Rusty Hooks’ performance in the Junior Masters also gets a proud shoutout.
• Tiger Woods’ Legacy: The guys debate Tiger’s GOAT status, career grand slams, and whether his body gave out when drug testing began—or if it was just the weightlifting.
• NBA Playoff Talk: Josh brings the heat with breakdowns of Steph Curry vs. the Rockets, LeBron’s Lakers, and which teams can actually challenge Boston and Cleveland. Jerry, meanwhile, compares the NBA to old men playing in a sandbox. Tension? Just a little.
• Luka Doncic Trade Rant: Alan may be absent, but Jerry more than fills the hot-take void, unloading on the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka. Josh counters with the GM’s logic, but it’s a heated debate with no shortage of zingers.
• Bonus Banter: From Bronny James' future to Trey Young’s mouth, and why Jerry prefers his NBA with Michael Jordan and a side of defense. Oh—and did we mention Luca's favorite dessert is pecan pie à la mode?

Whether you're a bracketologist, basketball junkie, golf diehard, or just here for the dad jokes and fiery opinions, this is a can't-miss episode.

• NFL Draft Hype: With the “Beat Dan” Draft Challenge looming, the guys talk prospects, mock drafts, and why the first three picks are causing chaos. Plus, the future of preseason games and 18-game schedules is dissected—with plenty of side rants.
• Football Fatigue & Fitness: Should NFL players sit out a mandatory game in an 18-week season? Are joint practices worth the hype? And what’s the difference between being in shape and “football shape”?
• Alan's Take: The crew finally gets Alan’s hot takes on his Giants, the Yankees’ pitching rotation, and why he’s not buying all the early season baseball hype (yet).
• Plus: Cowbell jokes, Madden references, “How to Pad Your Pension,” Fortnite callouts, and a surprising amount of love for Emma’s bracket brilliance.

Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank - S6E27: The Episode That Wasn’t

Breaking news! This episode was supposed to come to you live from Lynchburg, Virginia, at the 2025 Men's Ignite Conference—but things didn’t quite go as planned. What happened? Well, after a road trip full of high hopes (and plenty of gas money spent), the crew discovered a critical piece of equipment was left behind, making recording impossible. Oops.

Despite the technical mishap, Dan, Frank, and Rich are back to recap the weekend’s events, from Joe Theismann’s speech to an unexpected mud rain phenomenon. Plus, we talk NFL free agency madness, the Yankees' championship window, and whether the Cowboys’ offseason moves signal hope or disaster.

And for those keeping track, Dan throws down a new bet with Josh Hooks—who’s coming out on top in 2025: the Cowboys or the Washingtons?

Tune in for laughs, sports takes, and the episode that almost wasn’t!
