FTP Ep. # 625 NCAA March Madness Initial Thoughts and Strategy

I give my initial thoughts on the overall bracket with how some of these misseedings occurred and places across the regions where we can take advantage of certain spots. I also give my advice for developing a bracket strategy as well as survivor pool thoughts.

We have a further update on the "controversy" surrounding Bam Adebayo scoring 83 points as the national media misses the bigger picture. Meanwhile, I take the time to examine the NBA's proposals to resolve in-season tanking and why most of them do not pass the smell test.

You know it was a crazy night in sports when someone scoring 83 points in an NBA game is not the lead story for sports coverage on the networks.

I give my thoughts on why the US national media has been overall dismissive of the tournament, while Angel discusses how impactful this has been to baseball fans throughout the world.

The Ravens got us off to a wild start to NFL free agency with their trade for Maxx Crosby but we discuss the rationale and more pending moves ahead for NFL teams this offseason.

I recap the Olympics stories thus far, including the fall of the Quad God and how ridiculously it was covered. Plus, my reminder to you that NBA All Star Weekend is here and why you probably already forgot about it.

We recap as dominant of a performance on one side of the football you will see by a defense and how the Patriots were lucky to not get blown out by more.

My thoughts on how the game is likely to play out and the best pathways to victory for both teams. Also, I discuss the DFS options folks should be looking at more closely.

After my rant on the current state of NFL journalism, I review some of the prop bets available that casual fans can enjoy over the course of the game.

I give my thoughts on the headliner fights for UFC 325 as well as Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson at MSG tonight
