Irish Breakdown has plenty of Notre Dame football to talk about on today's Rapid Fire Friday edition of IB Nation Sports Talk. Some of the topics Sean Stires, Jesse Stires and Vince DeDario discuss on today's show include:
* Fill-in the blank...New Notre Dame defensive coordinator Chris Ash needs to BLANK in his first season to make you feel good about his hiring.
* ESPN’s move to exercise their option with the ACC through 2036 includes Notre Dame playing more games against Clemson, Miami and Florida State. The Irish would play at least two of those three teams every year in rotation. Who benefits most from the arrangement: Notre Dame or the ACC?
* Do you want programs like FSU, Clemson and Miami to be contenders every year to give Notre Dame the chance to have a better resume after they play them or are you content with just stacking wins regardless of how good they are?
* Is Jaden Greathouse a breakout player candidate for next season or has he already broken out?
* Fill-in the blank: Notre Dame women’s basketball’s new Allstate Insurance TV commercial that features Hannah Hidalgo, Sonia Citron, Maddy Westbeld, Liatu King, and Liza Karlen is BLANK.
* Bill Belichick says they should rename the Lombardi Trophy, which goes to the Super Bowl winners, for Tom Brady because you can’t win games without good players. Do you Buy or Sell it?
* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Tom Brady announced today that he’s starting a weekly newsletter called “199”. He’ll talk about sports, wellness, business, and other topics.
* Dan Patrick says the NFL should mark the jerseys of Pro Bowl alternates because too many alternates get in and it shouldn’t count on their resumes. Do you Buy or Sell it.
* On a scale of 1 to 10...What’s your interest in this weekend’s Pro Bowl Games that take the place of what used to be the Pro Bowl?
* We answer a listener question about our Mt. Rushmore of TV shows.
