Irish Breakdown

We start by discussing comments from Notre Dame offensive line coach Joe Rudolph and center Zeke Correll about all the blitzing the Irish defense has done this spring. What does it mean for both the offense and the defense? Other topics include:

*The CW has emerged as a possible landing spot for part of the Pac-12's TV rights. Do you Buy or Sell it as a good spot for Pac-12 football? 

 *The USFL makes its second season debut this weekend, meaning there will be head to head competition for the first time with the XFL. Will you watch either, neither or both? 

 *Demar Derozen’s daughter screamed every time a Toronto Raptor shot a free throw the other night in the Bulls’ play-in game win over Toronto, who shot just 18 of 36 at the line in their loss. Solid strategy or shrill annoyance? 

 *What’s the most annoying thing you’ve seen or heard at a sporting event? 

 *Fill-in the blank: It’s BLANK that the Cavinder twins are leaving a remaining year of college basketball behind after a year at Miami to possibly join the WWE.

We start Rapid Fire by discussing if Marcus Freeman is going to win a national championship at Notre Dame before Brian Kelly wins one at LSU. Other topics include:

* Brian Kelly says it's "overblown" that he left Notre Dame for LSU when the Irish were in the middle of a hunt for a College Football Playoff spot. Fair or BS?

* NFL Sunday Ticket is leaving DirecTV for YouTubeTV and they've released their pricing for packages. Get ready for sticker shock!

* MLB’s new pitch clock has cut about a half an hour off game times this season and that’s led to an unintended consequence...beer sales dropping in ballparks. So a few teams have extended their beer sales until the 8th inning rather than the seventh...where beer has customarily been cut off. Do you Buy or Sell extending beer sales into the 8th?

* Should Major League Baseball expand and if they do, the expansion city options are Las Vegas, Portland, Nashville, Montreal, Charlotte, and Salt Lake City. Which of those two cities would you want teams in?

Notre Dame's linebacker play is a hot button topic among fans. We discuss some of the keys to the Irish continuing to improve in that area. Some of the specifics include:

* What things are the LBs reading that may have been harder last season but are easier this year?

* Does comfort/understanding of a defense out weigh athleticism?

* We’ve seen pretty good interior DL play this spring. What impact could that have on the LBs?
