The Misfits React: Lakers Smacked, Clippers Shook, USC Steady, Bears Supreme

With Mykell Mathieu and Eric Lambkins II at the helm, today’s episode of The Sporting Tribune Today dives into the chaos, comedy, and confusion across the sports landscape — and nobody is spared.

Segment 1 – Lakers Collapse & USC’s Post-UCLA Pulse
Mykell and Eric open the show by breaking down the Lakers’ blowout loss to the Suns, analyzing how quickly things unraveled, what went wrong defensively, and why the energy never matched Phoenix’s. They question the team’s shot selection, rotations, and whether this is just a blip or something more concerning.

Then the Misfits shift to USC football, fresh off their win over UCLA. They discuss what the victory means for USC’s trajectory, whether momentum has actually returned, and how the program’s national standing looks heading into the final stretch.

Segment 2 – Clippers Meltdown & the Bears at the Top
Next, the guys turn their attention to the Clippers’ disastrous start to the season. Mykell and Eric unpack the chemistry issues, the offensive stagnation, the lack of identity, and the growing urgency around the team. Are lineup changes enough? Is there a deeper cultural problem? The Misfits have thoughts.

Finally, in the most unexpected twist of the season, the Chicago Bears sit as the No. 1 seed — and the Misfits are here to react with equal parts disbelief and celebration. They explore how the defense became elite, what the offense is doing right for once, and whether the Bears are built to stay on top.
