Josh Zerkle from With Leather joins the show to give his recap of our time in Vegas. For more on that, read his recap at With Leather, or mine at TSB, or watch the video I put together.

And no, we don’t go through a hand-by-hand recap of the tournament. It’s more about the time in Vegas, the people we saw and the bets we made. Fun times.

We also announce the baby pool I’ll be starting soon. Look for that ASAP.

Inside the Press Box:

Nick and I tackle the rumors that Chris Berman will leave ESPN at the end of his contract and go to NFLN (or maybe DirecTV). My sources indicate ESPN wants to keep Berman and that nothing is imminent regarding his departure, but Nick brings up the point that if they really wanted to keep him, or if Berman really wanted to stay, a deal would have likely been worked out already.

What would that mean for ESPN? And more specifically to our conversation, what would that mean at NFLN? Would Rich Eisen move to a different role? Would Berman be more of a features guy? And would the acquisition of Berman be good for NFLN? Do they need a guy like that to raise the level of, for lack of a better word, cache?

Speaking of NFLN, we talk about the Warren Sapp news from the weekend, and NFLN’s reaction, when compared to the Michael Irvin news. Oh, and Stephen A. Smith is back in print! Yay?

Court Report:

This has turned into more of a basketball segment than a legal segment, and for a sports show, that’s fine by me. We ask you, what’s the bigger deal this weekend, NBA All-Star weekend or the start of the Winter Olympics?

Nick and I disagree on this. We also disagree that the dunk contest doesn’t have the same star power it once did. Sure, there’s no equivalent to Jordan, but don’t tell me that Kenny “Sky” Walker was a star in the NBA? We all had him on our walls. We give some suggestions for the dunk contest, but mainly it’s just a suggestion to eliminate misses. If you miss a dunk, you’re done. That’s it.

So...which is the bigger event this weekend? And how much Olympic coverage do you want to hear?

Thanks for listening. Be safe in the snow.
