What will the resumption of the NHL look like? And did the Penguins draw the short straw?
Tim Benz and Mark Madden discuss the league’s return-to-play proposal in which the Penguins would play a playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens and former league MVP goalie Carey Price.
Is that fair? Tim and Mark have varying opinions.
In NFL news, the guys discuss the league proposal that would have incentivized teams hiring minority coaches and general managers and whether it was ever a good idea. Mark says the idea is not bad, indicating that incentivizing the hiring of minorities may be one of the only ways to make league owners do that.
Tim and Mark discuss this year’s Steelers draft class and whether their third- and seventh-round draft picks have the clearest path to getting on the field this year and what the defensive lineup could look like.
They also discuss rules changes, including overtime. Should the NFL move to the overtime format used in the NCAA?
Other topics on the table include whether MLB is at risk of alienating itself in what’s amounting to a labor dispute, what the guys watched on TV over the holiday weekend, ESPN’s Lance Armstrong documentary and more.
