Dirt & Sprague

The guys wonder about the future of CFB and if the Power 5 is becoming a Power 2...and how does CFB regain more national importance. Then Christian Clark joins the Daily Ticker to preview CJ McCollum's return to Portland as the Pelicans are in town. Is this a big deal for Blazers fans?

Sprague feeling good as his student loans are officially paid off, then some NBA musings as LeBron continues to dominate headlines when the Suns and Grizzlies are the real story in the West. OSU basketball sees its entire backcourt head to the transfer portal and is there any news out of Ducks or Beavers Spring Football practice.

Plenty of food questions, Pac-12 predictions and fantasy cars to debate in the Male Sack this week.

Dirt thinks Cam Newton is now the Cousin Eddie of NFL QB's, plenty of questions to answer in the Male Sack, and Sprague has a not so hot basketball take to finish the show.

The Ticker makes a stop in St. Louis with Ben Hochman of the Dispatch on Albert Pujols coming back to the Cardinals for 1 final MLB season, and then to Vegas with Vinny Bonsignore of the Review-Journal on the contract negotiations between the Raiders and Derek Carr.

The guys wonder if Derek Carr will leave the Raiders, as NFL teams are quietly seething at the Browns for giving Deshaun Watson a $230M guaranteed contract screwing up the market for other QB's. Stops in St. Louis and Vegas for the Daily Ticker, and the Bills dupe New York into shelling out for their new stadium.

Dirt opens the show saying Larry Fitzgerald is the best WR in NFL history, then the guys appreciate the special tanking effort the Blazers displayed Monday night blowing it against the Thunder in OT. And Sprague was shocked to see a current tight end at Central Catholic is about to be the most recruited prospect in the history of the State.

The guys revisit the whole Will Smith slapping Chris Rock saga from The Oscars, then another serious chat during an MLB game interrupted by Nick Castellanos. The US Men are going to Qatar and Scottie Scheffler is the new #1 player in golf and who will outtake the other when the Blazers and Thunder square off tonight.

Zach Krantz of 560 WQAM in Miami returns to the show in the Ticker to discuss how Dolphins are feeling after the team acquired Tyreek Hill and how much discord is there within the Heat after Jimmy Butler got into it with Udonis Haslem during a game.

The guys dive into the Final Four teams and how nauseating it will be this week with all the Coach K hype leading into Saturday's game against North Carolina. Then the guys are excited that Hard Knocks is going to Detroit with Dan Campbell and the Lions. Zach Krantz joins the Ticker to discuss the Dolphins landing Tyreek Hill and the Heat turmoil as the guys wonder who will end up in the NBA Finals from the East.
