I'm Israel Gutierrez. I'm hosting a new podcast called Four Years of Heat. It takes you to Miami from 2010 to 2014

with LeBron James, Chris Bosch and Dwayne Wade, set the NBA ablaze.

You know, having an opportunity to team up with the best trio to ever play the game of basketball

will take you inside those four monumental years with behind-the-scenes access and insight about one of the greatest teams ever

for a sum of four years of heat on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

What is going on? Boy, middle cop, three-and-out podcast, back at it again. Taking a little break from watching the March Madness.

Not gonna lie, having a pretty good day gambling. As I'm recording this, I still need one more game, St. Mary's hasn't quite tipped off yet.

But still some stuff going on in football. I sometimes thought it's why. And I talk about sometimes big picture stuff with the sport.

And that's something that fascinates me. Just the health of American sports, whether it's football, basketball, baseball,

even golf. I'm a big golf guy with Tiger Woods and the power of getting attention. Have some thoughts. Why March Madness actually has a lot of parallels to the NFL.

Leveon made some comments that I thought were just pretty moronic about the Steelers, about Ben. And not necessarily about Ben, but more about the Steelers.

And then just a lot of these pro days are going on. If you watch NFL Network, they've been at Ohio State, they've been at Oklahoma, they've been at Alabama,

and just wanted to dive in a little bit about my experience and if they're important or if they're not.

But the one thing with March Madness that is so powerful, now if you like to bet, it's incredible. But just I think for sports, the casual person, they say a lot of it has to do with the bracket.

I think a lot of it has to do just with the drama. In Colin uses word a lot. And forever on my radio shows, when I did a local radio show,

we talked a lot about baseball because the giants were big and we had the A's and they were good. But baseball talk doesn't really drive media,

any sports media anymore, because there isn't any urgency to it. And I think a lot, the same thing has happened in basketball.

Like the regular season now means nothing. It's never met less guys don't even play in games. There's just no urgency.

And as someone that used to gamble on the regular season, I lost a lot of money. I just stopped doing it because it was just impossible to predict.

Well, the powerful thing about March Madness is, and I don't know if you guys listen to this guy named Gary Vanderchuck.

He's like a motivational speaker, not all of his stuff. You can disagree with some of the stuff. But one out like overriding message that he always has, and he's pretty,

he's kind of like an entrepreneur meets kind of a tech guy and he was big on Facebook and Twitter and all these companies before they got big.
