Coach Gottlieb gives credit to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for taking the NFL from a pro sports powerhouse and growing it into the Death Star that it is today, and ex[plains why the NCAA Tournament expanding to 76 teams isn't outrage worthy.

Then, he’s joined by UWGB Assistant Andy Ground to discuss what he’s learned in his 1st year as a DI hoops coach following 40-years in coaching, the biggest surprises, where he’s evolved the most this year with the Phoenix, his 35-year relationship with Doug, including coaching him in HS, and what it’s like coaching as an assistant for his former player.

Finally, 7-time MLB All-Star Matt Holliday discusses the Pirates and 19 yo budding star Konnor Griffin agreeing to a 9-year $140 million contract, if he would have taken the deal at 19, and his early MLB takes less than a month into the season.

Coach Gottlieb discusses NFL Draft strategy and GM’s who covet the accumulation of picks vs. those who go all-in on individual players, the problem with the NCAA’s new proposed ‘5 for 5’ collegiate athlete eligibility proposal, why he doesn’t buy the largely unchallenged claim that nothing is better than NHL playoff hockey, and why even LeBron haters need to pause for a second to appreciate 41-year old Lebron’s super hero-like greatness.
