Public Discourse and the Power of Sports

On today's show, Pat, AJ Hawk, and the boys discuss the tragic news of Colts owner Jim Irsay’s sudden passing, and reflect on one of the most unique, giving, philanthropic humans of all-time. They also discuss the Pacers having one of if not the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history last night to steal game 1 from the Knicks in MSG in overtime, plus the Dallas Stars erasing a 3-1 lead at the start of the 3rd period to take game 1 from the Oilers in the Western Conference Finals in the NHL. Joining the progrum is former Head Coach of the Denver Nuggets, NBA Champion, and now ESPN NBA analyst, Michael Malone to chat about both the Eastern and Western Conference Finals and how he see’s both series panning out after each game 1. Next, 3x Super Bowl Champion, 2x AP NFL Coach of the Year, Bruce Arians joins the show to say a few words and help remember Jim Irsay. Later, ESPN College Football Insider, Heather Dinich joins the show to chat about the news that the College Football Playoff will be seeding teams 1-12 next year and how quickly we might get a 14 or 16 team playoff.
