Ep. 058: Why THESE Small Market Teams Make Pro Sports Better

Opening Day in MLB is here with Shohei Ohtani's homerun and the Dodgers' stars shining. O’Neil extends his opening day HR streak to 6 years – is there an equivalent to this in any other sport? Plus, competing with March Madness Sweet 16 seems foolish - could the schedule have been better?

In NCAA Tournament news, Texas Tech vs. Arkansas delivers madness, while Calipari’s coaching decision sparks debate. BYU’s meltdown against Alabama leaves us questioning a bizarre technical foul. Cooper Flagg dominates for Duke—where should he go in the NBA and why should he go to the small market team? 

NFL talk includes Kirk Cousins to the Browns could be a huge plus for balancing the chaos in the organization with Deshaun Watson. Plus, we may have just witnessed the most impressive physical feat in NFL Pro Day history... All this and more on today's episode of No Warmup.
