Episode 56 - Hosted by Paul C. Cuthbert and Robert Kuney.

They say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Well, friendos, the Honchos came in like a lion this month and will go out like a lion – Dan Campbell to be exact. This was a big week in the entertainment world (more so than the sports world) so the showgram opened with celebrity talk – the passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, and the health-related retirements of Phil Collins and Bruce Willis from concerts and acting respectively. The Honchos really felt their age with that news. This is a wacky, feel-good show, however, so in that vein they turned their attention to the “Who Wore It Best?” segment featuring, in honor of the 56th show, legendary New York Giants linebacker, Hall of Famer Lawrence “LT” Taylor. The Honchos went back to the entertainment well for the Headlines segment as they dissected the “Slap Heard Round the World” at the Oscars, as well as a story about repaying debts to your drug dealer with nudity and shocking news about where Brits enjoy snacking. Here is a hint – it ain’t in in the kitchen!

There are four teams left in the NCAA tournament so after some post-Gonzaga therapy for Rob, there was a thorough breakdown of the Final Four and even a prediction or two. Spoiler Alert! It is Duke for the win. They even had time to give everyone an update on the Famous Alumni bracket.

There is never an off-season in the NFL so there was plenty of news to discuss this week. There was breaking news tonight about Bruce Arians stepping away as coach of the Bucs, the new playoff OT rules, changes to the Rooney rule, Roger Goodell’s plans for Deshaun Watson (yes, we are still talking about him), and Rob gave all 8 USFL fans a preview of the 2022 season (not really).

The pickings were mighty slim in the NHL/NBA/MLB cupboard tonight, but the Honchos found one crumb to chew on. They kicked around the nutty idea to extend the NHL salary cap into the playoffs.

In honor of the Detroit Lions being chosen for this year’s “Hard Knocks” on HBO, and Detroit being named host city for the 2024 NFL Draft, the Honchos replayed a classic DOTW featuring Lions head coach Dan Campbell.
