0:00.0	Coming up today on PFT Live, did Mike Evans think something was off in Tampa Bay? He apparently took less money to start over again in San Francisco. Is the stage being set for Fail-Mary 2? The NFL has begun the process of finding replacement officials. Plus, we break down Chris Sims' running back draft rankings. That's next on PFT Live.
0:29.3	Thursday edition, PFT Live, March 19.
0:42.0	At some point, for our friends in the UK and Ireland podcast, wherever you get your podcast, yada, yada, yada.
0:47.5	Today's the day, I'm told that the whole basketball thing starts.
0:48.8	Yeah, it's always Thursday.
0:51.8	Yeah, oh yeah, I'll definitely have it on tonight for sure.
