Today I go through more analysis of the NFL draft and preview the night in sports with Game 7 of the Celtics-Bucks and Game 2 between the San Jose Sharks and Vegas Golden Knights.
Well that was certainly an interesting night for the NFL. Cleveland once again manages to play a different game than every other NFL team and I do not mean that as a compliment. The Pats once again take advantage of the rest of the league without having to do anything in a 1st round filled with head scratchers. My Dad and I go through the picks and lay out what we liked and took umbrage with during the first night of the draft.
I talk about the NBA and NHL games last night and provide my picks for the Draftkings Lowball Contest for MLB tonight.
Breakdown of the NBA and NHL playoffs thus far and a preview of the playoff games today which will likely culminate in Damian Lillard getting swept and not even making All-NBA 2nd team honors let alone 1st team.
Masters preview courtesy of yours truly along with my daily fantasy golf picks for the first major golf tournament of the year. Try to avoid the Tiger hype train as much as possible folks.
Tonight I talk about the NFL rule changes, how Bob McNair is making Roger Goodell's life that much harder by not choosing to evade certain questions, and more Giants drama with OBJ.
The Sweet 16 games are in the books and I talk about Texas Tech's victory over Purdue with Cam tonight. I look ahead into the Elite 8 matchups and we close out the show with NFL talk on a variety of topics.
LeBron dominates the Raptors yet again in this installment. I talk about the weird Kawhi Leonard situation with the Spurs. The NFL unveils their new catch rule criteria and may have created more questions than answers in the process.
A recap of what has been the craziest opening weekend ever in NCAA tournament history and preview of the Sweet 16. I also open the show talking about the brazenly compelling rant from Jose Mourinho about why everyone should be grateful to have him around to remind them about past failures. To cap off the show I delve into the NBA officiating problem which has no end in sight it seems.
To put this episode into context I have been up since 4:30 this morning on St. Patrick's Day trying to make sense of the greatest upset in NCAA history. I go through the round of 32 games, the Warriors' injury woes in the NBA and my dad also calls in to chime in with his thoughts.
Tonight I go back over my March Madness brackets and look at Virginia in light of De'Andre Hunter's injury.
Tonight I talk about golf because you know who decided to make it relevant again. NCAA focused show tonight with the bracket reveal and what a shameless job by the selection committee but it is what it is. More to come this week ahead of the tournament.
Today I complain about Arsenal and their lack of foresight of easily recognizable problems and Isiah Thomas' inability to stop talking before I dive into the remaining 50 players on the top 100 rankings. Who are some of the sleepers? What do you do about aging veterans? Which starters should you target in the early rounds? Who could help win your league or completely implode your roster? All valid questions that I try to answer with more to come in the next few weeks as we go through Spring Training.
Nash trade came in after the original recording so I included an additional intro as the original intro starts at (6:18). Olympics discussion (6:40), College basketball and the FBI investigation (14:15), NHL deadline on Monday (32:11), Blake Bortles contract extension and what it means for the Jaguars going forward (51:50), NBA news (65:00) and my rant on the Olympics and the OAR (80:00).
I wrap up the top 50 rankings and go into my preview of the US Womens Olympic Hockey Final. Can the US Women stop the 4 peat from Canada? Will this game end before 1:30am? Unlikely but let's hope for a win with as few delays as possible
