Mass Shooting Mars Chiefs Parade. Shanahan/Lynch Fall Guy For Super Bowl Loss. LeBron Rumor To Golden St? KD: Curry Top 5 All Time? Caitlin Clark Chasing History. NHL Stadium Series Upcoming

On this day after Valentine’s, the lovefest continues as I dissect and share all that’s happening in sports. On deck: (3:14) We make the pivot to The Sports Dead Zone, Pt. 1 (Post Super Bowl and right before the NCAA Tournament or Opening Day of the MLB season) as I spend a moment discussing this. (6:03) What was supposed to be another celebratory parade through Kansas City with their third title in five years, turned out to be a nightmare as a mass shooting occurred nearby the festivities to where one person was killed and 22 others injured. When will this country wake up and take a stand to these senseless shootings? Then the San Francisco 49ers fired their defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. He’s the fall guy for the Niners losing the Super Bowl on Sunday. I have a major problem with this, so I’ll go in on the GM John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan as Wilks did not deserve this fate. (15:46) The NBA will head into the All-Star Break after a few games tonight. Will I be watching? You had the rumor that the Warriors were interested in acquiring LeBron James at the trade deadline last week. Why I’m glad that didn’t take place? A few days ago, Kevin Durant stated that former teammate Steph Curry is a top-5 all time player? Is he accurate with that statement? Then you had Pistons center, Isaiah Stewart assault Suns Drew Eubanks BEFORE the game in Phoenix last night. How did this all come about? I’ll survey the basketball landscape as the league takes a respite for the next week. (30:53) As for college basketball, another top team falls by the wayside (i.e. #7 North Carolina) Tonight, history will likely be made as Iowa’s Caitlin Clark will break the all time scoring record in women’s college basketball. Is she considered one of the great women’s players of all time? (35:18) It’s a big weekend for the NHL as there’s not one, but two, outdoor games as the Stadium Series will occur at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey. Saturday night will have the Flyers visiting the Devils, while Sunday afternoon, the Islanders are the home team against the Rangers. Will these games be sold out? What about the weather for both matchups? I have to get into the aftermath of the cross check of Morgan Rielly to Ridley Greig, which garnered a five game suspension to the Maple Leafs Rielly. Did the punishment fit the crime? And what could be done to stop incidents like this? I’ll check on who’s hot and who’s not on the ice as the season is just about two-thirds done. (44:20) Pitchers and catchers have reported throughout the MLB. There’s one notable player that may have a slow start to their upcoming year. Astros pitcher, Justin Verlander is behind schedule on a shoulder issue. Is anyone surprised? Is yours truly into this early part of spring training with position players reporting in five days? What about big time free agents that are still out there? (I.e.
