About the Episode

The show opens with The Masters as Tom Green, Woody Paige and Ron Zappolo make their picks and discuss the absence of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. The guys break down Masters contenders while debating whether Augusta still favors experience or if younger players are ready to take over.

The conversation shifts to the NCAA Tournament, including Michigan’s championship win and whether the tournament now delivers better early-round games than finals. The women’s tournament takes center stage, with strong reactions to Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley, and a discussion about whether the women’s game has surpassed the men’s. The guys also highlight Colorado’s Lauren Betts and the impact she’s had on the national stage.

Michael Malone officially landing at North Carolina becomes a major talking point, with debate over how an NBA coach fits in today’s transfer-driven college landscape.

A huge weekend for Colorado sports leads into the Nuggets, including the Jokic vs. Wembanyama matchup, playoff positioning, and whether Denver can secure a top seed. The Avalanche goalie situation is also debated, with Mackenzie Blackwood and Scott Wedgewood both in the mix heading into the postseason.

The show wraps with the Rockies, reacting to low attendance numbers and what it says about the fan base, while also noting the team’s offensive production and outlook moving forward.
