  • Star drain in the NFL, COVID contact tracing in CFB & a couple historical notes

    Troy understands the pain fantasy football owners are suffering through right now, though that pain is even more pronounced in the "real" league. COVID contact tracing works, even though it results in cancellations in college football. The world of college sports isn't all that different from 1947, as an interview points out. 

    Mentioned today:

    • Barry Gray Talks College Football with Mel Allen, 1947
    • Justice Dept. deems New York City, Portland and Seattle 'anarchist jurisdictions'

      • Quick note: there will be no Wednesday episode. I'll fill you in on Tuesday, but's there's a really good reason.
