Jared Stillman hosts solo for our first show after MLB resumes in full. Jared starts the show discussing the Marlins COVID outbreak and how that hurts other sports going forward, plus some very good NHL COVID news as we start exhibition games in the hub cities Tuesday:

-0:00, the Miami Marlins have 10+ positive COVID cases after playing despite three positive cases Sunday in Philadelphia. What the heck does MLB do to fix this and what factor of the pending tests is most important for the fate of the MLB season as well as other sports this summer and fall?-15:40, MLB was the first sport to try to play outside of a hub city with regular travel and it is clearly causing issues, this can't bode well for college football playing games at campus sites in a little over a month.

-38:45, While MLB's outbreak dominated the conversation, the NHL announced Monday morning that ZERO players tested positive upon entering the hub cities. This was viewed as the biggest hurdle to playing the Stanley Cup Playoffs in full and is another win for the hub city/bubble format employed by MLS, NBA, NHL, WNBA, and NWSL.

Jared Stillman and Joe Rexrode finish off the week talking NFL, the Titans, and the NHL bubble:

-0:00, Tyreek Hill had some pretty strong comments this week about the Chiefs becoming a dynasty. Is he crazy or realistic?

-27:00, the NFL salary cap is set for 2020 and not changing from the original value per today's agreement. What does that mean for the Titans and their chances at signing Jadeveon Clowney?

-38:45, Jared wants to move to the NHL bubble because it seems nice. A breakdown of the Preds living and leisure quarters in Edmonton.

-36:40, Notre Dame could join the ACC for the 2020 football season as a normal member and be eligible for the conference championship. Could that work? How would it help or hurt college football and the conference?

Joe Rexrode and Jared Stillman talk Titans and Vandy in the second hour of Friday's show:

-0:00, the NFL has an updated agreement on COVID-19 training camp protocols. What does this change for Titans training camp, especially without preseason games?
