Local college buckets
Laurence Holmes discussed two local programs that are getting it done: the DePaul women's team and the Northwestern women's team. They both were named as top-four seeds by the selection committee in its latest revealing of projected brackets, so Holmes discussed their success and why Oregon's Sabrina Ionescu is a terrifyingly good player.

On the field at Super Bowl LIV

The Power of Toub
Kicking off Super Bowl Week, I revisit one of the best moments of Super Bowl 41, Devin Hester's return for touchdown. Dave Toub used to be Bears Special Teams Coordinator, now he's back in the Super Bowl with Mecole Hardman. Also he should be a Head Coach!  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
