Tons of "March Madness" NCAA Tourney conversation, news and even, a reporter controversy lead this week's show. And, we also look ahead to the MLB season getting underway this weekend, too on the "Last Word on Sports Media Podcast."

Host T.J. Rives is back with co-host Mike Gill to give their insight and takes on the sports media stories, information and subjects.

That includes the start up of the 2025 Men's Tourney and the lack of "Cinderellas" making into this weekend? Also, it's a surprise that CBS' #1 team of Ian Eagle, Grant Hill and Bill Raftery NOT covering Duke and Cooper Flagg in Newark, NJ. 

Mike has an idea on expanding the tournament in a big way that inclludes the little guy, massively. It's fascinating and not that far fetched and would mean a lot more televised games and therefore, $$$. Then, the guys also talk the UConn ouster by Florida on Sunday and how a local Charlotte reporter's video of Huskies coach Danny Hurley yelling in the tunnel of the arena and blaming the referees for his team's defeat has caused controversy. T.J. has strong takes and Mike chimes in, as well.

And, the guys talk the opening of hte MLB 2025 regular season, which will include the return of Joe Buck calling MLB games for the first time in three years. And, is it really going to be the end of ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball after 35 years?
