A post-NFL first-round edition of the Spielman & Hooley, "We Tackle Life," podcast:

Joe Burrow goes No. 1 overall and LSU fans don't like him being referred to as a Buckeye

Chase Young and Jeff Okudah follow at No. 2 and No. 3. That's another recruiting win for the Buckeyes.

Damon Arnette gives OSU three first-rounders and builds on OSU's defensive back legacy in the NFL

Joe Burrow gave the best answer of the night.

Jeff Hafley had a good night as Boston College's head coach

Spiels donates his compensation for working the draft on various Detroit Lions' platforms to the goal of raising $40,000 for COVID-19 relief.

We draw four winners for $250 each in COVID-19 relief.

The Raiders take Damon Arnette before anticipated.

OSU's legacy in the draft under Urban Meyer is utterly amazing

Albert Breer wears his Buckeye fandom for all to see, and provides some great stats to back it up

There were a few Captain Obvious momeents in the draft analysis

Spiels found something way in the back of his closet that he's rocking today.

TODAY"

It's Good Friday and we draw the names of four winners of $250 each in our COVID-19 relief giveaway, funded by Mr. Spielman's memorabilia auctions.

The fourth item -- a Detroit Lions throwback uniform and 1994 Pro Bowl watch -- sold on Ebay Thursday night and brings the grand total for four items auctioned so far to $24,000. That's more than halfway to Chris' goal of $40,000.

The next item could be Spiels' 1987 Cotton Bowl uniform, helmet and red football cleats, which he wore while returning an interception of Kevin Murray for a touchdown in OSU's victory over Texas A&M. Spiels was awarded game MVP honors in that first-ever appearance by a Big Ten team in the Cotton Bowl.

Many people don't want to ask questions about the wisdom of closing the entire state for COVID-19 precautions. Would that attitude prevail into the summer? Into the fall?

OSU President Michael Drake, in an interview with WOSU radio, says there will be some impact on the college football season from the coronavirus.

Drake's options range from cancellation of the season to having the season with limited fan exposure.

Chris and Bruce have decidedly different opinions on how full Ohio Stadium would be if current conditions persist, but there is no state prohibition against attending the OSU-Bowling Green game scheduled for Sept. 5.

Wisconsin declines the option to welcome spring sports athletes back for an additional year of eligibility in 2021.

Badgers athletic director Barry Alvarez says the NCAA overreacted by granting the waiver opportunity to spring athletes and that the option causes many problems.

Tom Brady's interview on Howard Stern lands him in the crosshairs of anonymous criticism.

The challenges of raising a daughter growing into a different phase of life intersects with the message of Good Friday.
