On deck: (6:30) The 'second half' of the NBA begins in earnest tonight as the schedule picks up after the All-Star Break. I'll look into my crystal ball to see how the next two months will play out. Will OKC go on a deep playoff run? Are you a believer in the Cavaliers getting to an NBA Finals? How much pressure is on LeBron and Luka to get the Lakers back to the championship round? There are plenty of questions to get answered as I prepare you for what to expect over the last two third of the season. (33:40) College basketball is starting to heat up. Alabama suffers another loss, after being defeated by Auburn last weekend. Is this just a speed bump as they get toward the month of March? Number one ranked Auburn avoids a scare against Arkansas to keep their top ranking in the nation. Kansas continues to be an enigma, losing to unranked BYU by 34, the third worst loss in school history. I'll see what the schedule has on tap this weekend as we're exactly one month away from the NCAA Tournament. (39:28) It should be a battle to witness as the 4 Nations Face-Off concludes with a title game tonight. Will Team USA & Team Canada have a carbon copy of fisticuffs similar to their first game on Saturday night? How will this play out? I'll also take a lay of the NHL landscape as to how the ‘second half' will unfold? Are the Jets and Capitals Cup worthy? Can Florida repeat? Will Edmonton get back to a final? I'll have it all for you as the season reconvenes on Saturday. (55:30) MLB Spring Training is in full swing. One player that has thoughts of a big payday is Blue Jays 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He & his camp were unable to come up with an extension prior to Monday's deadline. What's next? And what will he get on the market? I'll have some news on Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Frankie Montas, Rafael Devers/Alex Bregman and the system when it comes to payroll in the sport.

 (1:01:36) The NFL is at it again. They've announced that the Chargers will be the home team for the second game in Sao Paolo to start off the year. Was this necessary to announce just ten days after the Super Bowl? Couldn't they have waited?
