Notre Dame advanced to the National Championship this week. There are many people around the country that are fans of Notre Dame that did not attend the school, have never been to Indiana, and have never seen Touchdown Jesus.

Steve and I discuss teams that have followings by fans that either never lived in the region of the team, never attended the respective school, and/ or have little or no affiliation with the team, city, school, other than they are just supporters of that school or team.

We discuss, USC, UCLA, Oregon, Cal, Red Sox, Yankees, Jets, Braves, and others.

Jimmy Butler was suspended by the Heat this week. Steve and I take a Generational view of the hold out/ suspension of players.

We discuss what may come and the ramifications of the Butler hold out and hold that up against other star players and their withholding of services.

Duane Thomas, Bo Jackson, Romeo Doubs, Eric Dickerson and others are discussed.

Steve and I discuss the proliferation of NFL games on different days of the week and how it impacts the fan, the business, and the players.

With the passing of Rickey and the induction of Dick Allen and Dave Parker into the Hall of Fame, Steve and I discuss their respective places in MLB history.

Rickey was the guy when I was a kid. He represented the next wave of baseball superstars after Reggie.

We discuss Dick Allen's ascension in MLB and his challenges with the times against his greatness on the field.

Dave Parker arguably was the best player in MLB for 4 - 5 year stretch.

This one gets heavy but it is an important conversation to learn where we were and how we can improve the game and the country as a whole.

Bill Belichick after a storied NFL career, he heads to UNC. Juan Soto goes to the mets for 3 quarters of a billion.

We discuss other comps across the generations and whether these are new phenonmena.

This past saw 22 incidences of flags planted at rival schools in college football. Each resulted in physical violence with the most notable being mace being used at Michigan - Ohio State in Columbus.

Steve and I discuss how this came about and compare to over the Generations.

I critique the methodology and Steve brings his nostalgic "intangibles" rhetoric.
