Before we get into sports, Mike is NOT happy that Jess continues to bake with fruit, but they can both agree that taste palettes change with age. Jess comes for Chipotle arguing that they are no longer the gourmet king of quick food. Sam Hartman is the new Joe Burrow, according to TikTok. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to take over the NFL. Jess finds it hilarious that people are mad that the NFL is capitalizing on the relationship, while Mike is here for it because it's bringing new fans to the sport that weren't spectators before the “Traylor”, “Tayvis”, “Swelce” era…whatever you want to call it. The two debate who are the best and worst teams in the NFL. It's not looking good for Justin Fields and the Bears. Who's to blame for the Chargers struggles? The Eagles and 49ers are both on top and New York sports are terrible (except the NY Liberty). Golic & Smetty recap the Notre Dame game against Duke. Golic gives Duke and Head Coach Mike Elko their flowers for the fantastic job he's been doing with his team. Mike and Jess break down the 4th quarter targeting call against Jordan Botelho and discuss Notre Dame's upcoming schedule where they play 4 undefeated, ranked teams all at night. Yikes. The duo rounds out today's episode discussing the WNBA finals between the NY Liberty and the LV Aces, and the excitement to watch the Breanna Stewart and A'ja Wilson match-up.     Follow Mike and Jess on Twitter!

We start Rapid Fire by discussing which Notre Dame player we have higher expectations for this season: Tobias Merriweather or Jordan Botelho. Other topics include: * Crissy Froyd covers the SEC for SI. She did a ranking of SEC quarterbacks. No surprise...she has LSU's Jayden Daniels No. 1. But here's my question....she has Alabama's Jalen Milroe at No. 7...which presumes he will be the Alabama starter. What would it say for Tyler Buchner if that happens? * Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK THAT The Atlanta Braves designated Charlie Culberson for assignment on Sunday....just hours before Culberson's dad was scheduled to throw out the first pitch to his son on Father's Day. * Red Sox manager Alex Cora says there's too much Yankees-Red Sox on Sunday night baseball. “There's other teams out there and people want to see them.” Do you Buy or Sell it? * Yesterday at the College World Series, the Wake Forest left fielder lost a fly ball in the sun...which was shining bright directly in his eyes. Can you guess what he had resting on the bill of his hat? * Do you have a team you're pulling for in the College World Series?

The Notre Dame defense should be good in 2023, but if it's going to be a championship caliber defense it needs several veterans facing now or never seasons to step up.

Notre Dame went on the road this past weekend and beat a ranked team (and the ACC officials) by 17 points just two weeks after a downright dreadful performance against Stanford. It wasn't perfect, and at times it was far from pretty, but a 17-point road win over a ranked team is always something to be happy about. Frank and Greg broke down: The continued struggles from the quarterback position The emergence of Deion Colzie and why it could be huge for the future Jordan Botelho entering the chat this weekend with a monster 2-sack performance Why Brain Mason should take over playcalling in the red-zone Some criticisms of offensive philosophy and playcalling More talk about the quarterback position beyond 2022 Philadelphia sports just continuing to carry Frank through the up and down 2022 Notre Dame football season but why he needs a lot of naps this week.

Last week we took a look at each position on offense and broke down which will be better or worse. We did the same on defense this week, but spoiler alert: we think the defense is going to be quite a bit better this year versus the 2021 version. The question is how much? Does Isaiah Foskey get the single-season and/or career sack record? How will linebacker shake out and where does Jordan Botelho play? How does Notre Dame overcome the loss of Kyle Hamilton? Lots and lots of snack talk Which Notre Dame season we'd watch on a deserted island if we could only pick one since 2000 Why does Notre Dame struggle to land elite skill position players?

We open this week's pre-game pod talking about how the QB position has been holding Notre Dame back at times during the Brian Kelly era then dive into a ton of questions posed to us this week that just so happened to fit into our rough outline for the show. Quarterbacks, quarterbacks, quarterbacks The job of Jeff Quinn now and in the future Jordan Botelho's diminished role vs. Cincy The play of the wide receivers Can Notre Dame get JD Bertrand some help? Will we see more freshmen playing the rest of the season? The environment in Notre Dame Stadium for the Cincy game Frank apologized for repeating a beer, but he needed to capitalize on the opportunity to enjoy a high ABV beverage that was sitting around.

We preview the Notre Dame - Wisconsin game by talking about how too many in the media and even within the Notre Dame fan base have crowned Wisconsin as some kind of unbeatable team for Notre Dame even though the Badgers haven't done much this year. We also had a lot of questions so we talked about a lot this week. Jack Coan vs. Graham Mertz and why Mertz hasn't done anything to instill fear in the Notre Dame defense The OL struggles, where the problems are, and possible solutions Why is Wisconsin a 6.5 favorite? Does the return of Jordan Botelho have a big impact? What the potential loss of Kurt Hinish could mean for Notre Dame this weekend There might have been a BVG mention but it wasn't our fault Game predictions

We preview the Notre Dame - Wisconsin game by talking about how too many in the media and even within the Notre Dame fan base have crowned Wisconsin as some kind of unbeatable team for Notre Dame even though the Badgers haven't done much this year. We also had a lot of questions so we talked about a lot this week. Jack Coan vs. Graham Mertz and why Mertz hasn't done anything to instill fear in the Notre Dame defense The OL struggles, where the problems are, and possible solutions Why is Wisconsin a 6.5 favorite? Does the return of Jordan Botelho have a big impact? What the potential loss of Kurt Hinish could mean for Notre Dame this weekend There might have been a BVG mention but it wasn't our fault Game predictions

This week we previewed the Purdue game by talking about whether or not the Irish will play to the potential we all saw in the preseason or if the team we saw the last two weeks is just the team we will see for the course of the 2021 season. How much, if any, improvement can we expect from the OL? How much is Jack Coan contributing to the pass protection issues? Can Notre Dame cut down on the big plays this weekend? Does anyone actually care about the stupid Purdue drum? How much will we see Tyler Buchner? What does the addition of Jordan Botelho do for the Notre Dame defense? Frank also changed up his beer selection this week and went with a stout. If it works, it looks like it will be an early Stout season.
