And apparently Rizzo was offered a deal that he found laughable. Will any of the Cubs Big 3 be back in 2022? (25:34) MLB will relax COVID restrictions if 85% of Tier 1 employees get vaccinated. What does this exactly mean? (36:00) Review: Bad Trip. (40:11) NPPOD. (43:06) Mark Emmert is the president of the NCAA and he has some big issues to deal with. Athletes are taking a stand.
