Our new segment, we profile a former Cub every week, this week its Moises Alou. Enjoy us for a casual spring training hang out. Enjoy.....and GO CUBS!
Spring Training is in full swing and enough of it has passed that Sammy Sosa showed up, so Tom Loxas is here to talk about it. Sammy's there passing along his wisdom to the young players ("Don't take $80,000 to a hotel lobby in a towel") and a guy only slightly younger than him is taking grounders at third base. But Matt Shaw is nearing his return while Nico Hoerner has already been ruled out of the games in Japan. Marquee got some expected bad news from Comcast, and their right-wing broadcast partner is trying to sue them to get out of their deal, how will this impact the Cubs cash flow? Meanwhile, ESPN and MLB have broken up, which means this is the last year of Sunday Night Baseball. Thank God. The guys also talk about the SNL 50th special and underrated cast members. And they finish up talking Bears free agency and the always exciting NFL Combine. All that and more.

The Friday Rapid Fire edition of IB Nation Sports Talk has the three-man band of Sean Stires, Vince DeDario and Jesse Stires covering a slew of topics, including: Which are you more confident in next season: Jaden Greathouse will have at least 700 receiving yards or Drayk Bowen will have at least 100 tackles? Thoughts on the future of Notre Dame baseball. SEC and Big Ten athletic directors left their meeting in New Orleans this week saying they are in favor of changing seeding for the College Football Playoff in 2025. If they make a change, the seeding would go directly off rankings 1 through 12 rather than how it was done this year by guaranteeing the highest ranked conference champions got first round byes. It's not a done deal though because all 10 FBS conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua would have to vote unanimously to make any format changes for this season and this season only. So, on a scale of 1 to 10: How confident are you they will make the change for 2025? If they make the change to go directly off seeding, either for this season or for 2026 and beyond when they begin the new CFP format, that could mean Notre Dame could be eligible for a first round bye. So, would you rather have a first round home game or a first round bye? Fill-in the blank: Former Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin has announced his retirement after 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. The thing you will most remember him for is BLANK. Will Notre Dame women's basketball get the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament? The NHL's Four Nations Face-Off was a smashing success as an alternative to their All-Star Game. Could Major League Baseball come up with something similar to replace its All-Star game? ESPN informed MLB it that the sports network will opt out of the last two years of its TV contract with baseball that includes Sunday Night Baseball, the Home Run Derby and first round wildcard playoff series. ESPN would have paid MLB $550 million per season. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred says it's a mutual parting of ways because he doesn't think it's beneficial for baseball to accept a smaller deal to remain on a shrinking platform. Do you Buy or Sell Manfred's spin? Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK that the New York Yankees have amended their facial hair policy to allow their players to have “well-groomed beards”. Rank the NFL TV broadcast teams: Al Michaels/Kirk Herbstreit Kevin Burkhardt/Tom Brady Joe Buck/Troy Aikman Mike Tirico/Cris Collinsworth Jim Nantz/Tony Romo Greg Olsen was bumped for Tom Brady on the Fox No. 1 crew. Which booths would Olsen make better if you subbed him in for one of the analysts in the booth?
