Olympic Gold, College Football's $13M Man & The Brutal Reality of the NFL Combine

Scott Mitchell gets "down and dirty" with a massive Friday show, starting with the heart-pounding gold medal victory by the U.S. Women’s Hockey team over Canada. Scott reflects on why the Winter Olympics still captivates us through "miracle" stories and national pride, even while sharing his own recent battle with pneumonia that kept him from watching every moment. The conversation shifts to the "hotbed of college football"—Bloomington, Indiana—as Scott reacts to Curt Cignetti’s massive $13.2 million contract extension. Scott debates the "odd numbers" of coaching salaries and whether the college football world is finally ready to accept an underdog like Indiana winning a national title.
