The NCAA tournament has returned, or as Jason calls it, “the festival of missed jump shots.” Maddie Lee (Chicago Sun-Times/House of L Podcast Network) checks in with all the latest on the Cubs from Arizona (06:57). Jason chronicles how he spent watching day one of the tournament (30:44). The Bears’ roster continues to reshape under Ryan Poles, but there are a lot of wild story lines during an exciting NFL offseason. How does the Davante Adams trade affect the NFC North? And why did Allen Robinson possibly have the best day of anyone (39:19)? As the Bulls continue to slide, Zach LaVine’s knee remains an issue. One thing is clear, though: The Bulls will go only as far as their injured star can take them (50:45).

Baseball Is Killing Itself, Zach Kram Talks Bulls Playoff Scenarios, and the Eastern Conference Ain’t No Joke Feb 28, 2022

‘The Full Go’ begins with a wellness check on the game of baseball, and it’s not good (03:34). As we sit on the verge of regular-season games being canceled, Jason tries to picture not only what baseball will look like in 2022 but beyond that. The lockout has already deprived baseball fans of a hot stove season and the anticipation of spring, but is the game strong enough to withstand a work stoppage in a post-COVID world (12:20)? Ringer staff writer Zach Kram has had a close eye on the Bulls this season, and he sits down with Jason Goff to look at some of the big-picture issues facing the team down the stretch (19:35). Are the Bulls’ scoring options good enough to withstand an opponent’s game plan in a playoff series (22:50)? How will Zach LaVine’s back hold up (34:30)? And can DeMar DeRozan carry this team beyond the end of the regular season (37:05)? Plus, what does Zach think about the Ja Morant–Derrick Rose comparisons that began to surface this weekend (40:44)? As February comes to an end, the Bulls are still sitting near the top of a very strong Eastern Conference.

Dave joins ‘The Full Go’ to analyze the science of stand-up, his creative process, and getting advice from Dave Chappelle (22:51).

Rodgers posted a series of images on his Instagram that may hint at his future with the Packers. Except, it turned out to be nothing after Rodgers didn’t break any news about his future on the 'The Pat McAfee Show.' Either way, it was an expert troll job by the GOAT (58:19).

Times bestselling author) joins the show to discuss her profile of DeMar DeRozan (15:00). DeMar’s late-career renaissance with the Bulls didn’t happen overnight, and the road to getting here was treacherous. Mirin talks about how DeRozan’s personal loss in life led him down a path to find himself (27:00), and how he has become a great example to Ayo Dosunmu (30:00). As the second half of the NBA season begins, the power vacuum in the East is up for grabs after the Ben Simmons–James Harden trade. However, there was something that bothered Jason about the way the trade was covered by some in the media (33:00). Big Ten basketball was interesting for about 30 seconds on Sunday.
