Summary

We cannot ignore what’s happening in Minnesota. Tragic. Heartbreaking. No matter where you stand politically. It is awful. The Minnesota Timberwolves chose to postpone a game. Business leaders in Minnesota came together including the Timberwolves and Wild, but a major team decided to not appear on that message. (20:15) I need to further explain my comments on LeBron James and his future with the Los Angeles Lakers. (26:22) The NBA trade deadline is approaching. Giannis, hurt. Ja Morant, hurt. Rich Paul has requested a trade for Anthony Davis. (32:10) College Football Playoff expansion is not happening. 12 teams is here for another year. Power 4 schools get a spot for winning the conference. Notre Dame gets a spot automatically if it’s in the Top 12. (41:10) Mike McDaniel has pulled out of two different head coaching interviews. He was scheduled to speak with the Browns and Bills. He was rumored to be the OC for the Chargers, but that deal has not been signed yet. (47:00) Spring training is almost here. Players still not signed yet. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
