Football Night in Chicago will have athletes, coaches, and insiders from across the NFL join the show for candid conversations on the biggest news and stories around the league. The show will also include nightly best bets and gambling strategies.
It's a big Friday edition of SportsTalk Live. Host David Kaplan is joined by 670 The Score David Haugh, Bears Insider JJ Stankevitz and ESPN’s Nick Friedell.
Bulls fans are still buzzing after the hiring of Arturas Karnisovas. David likes the move while JJ says this is the first time in a long time he's been excited to be a Bulls fan. Meanwhile, Nick provides a national perspective and says he'll reserve judgment until he sees who else joins the front office and who the coach will be. Plus, Karnisovas has a lot of decisions to make with his roster. The guys debate if anyone is untradeable.
Bob Nightengale reports that MLB is considering a plan for the 2020 season where teams will play at their spring training facilities. Teams would be realigned into Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues for the entire season. The panel is skeptical but they just want baseball.
Kap is then joined by long-time NBA player Jared Jeffries. He worked with Karnisovas in the Nuggets front office. Jeffries talks about his experiences with the Bulls' new head of basketball and describes his greatest qualities. Would Karnisovas tear down the Bulls roster and start over? Jared explains.
Finally, a Chicago restaurant uses social distancing guidelines to take a shot at Mitch Trubisky. Of course, that leads to a debate over the week one starter. And which is lamer: "Tompa Bay" or "Tampa Brady"? Resident Bucs fan Nick Friedell weighs in.
