THIS WEEK IN SPORTS: FEBRUARY 27TH – MARCH 5TH

The end of February means we’re entering college basketball conference tournament time. This week will be filled with Mid Major Conference Tournaments and upsets of the top seeds could see bubbles burst for larger programs. This time of year also brings us a full slate of Spring Training Games and the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. The NHL Trade Deadline is this week and we’re a month away from the NBA Playoffs. The XFL moves into Week 3 and the MLS moves into Match Day 2. The PGA Tour Florida swing goes from Palm Beach Gardens to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

If you’re looking for a great podcast, tune into and subscribe to The Irrational Confidence Podcast (@IRConfidencePod on Twitter). We release 2 college football episodes a week during the season and throw in NFL and college basketball episodes in between. We currently have 2 exclusive interview episodes available on all platforms. The interviews available now are with former NFL Assistant Coach Paul McCord and EA Sports Writer and Designer Christopher Davis. You can find our podcast on every platform as well as the Spinnable Sports YouTube Channel. You can also find our episode taking a look at the amazing career of LeBron James and his chase for the scoring record. In addition to our nod to LeBron, we just released two exceptional episodes. One episode is taking a look at some pressing NFL Off Season questions that are facing the league. The other episode is focused on the changing landscape of college athletics and potential conference realignment ideas. Another reason to subscribe to the Spinnable Sports YouTube Channel is to catch the Photo Finish Podcast that is focused on all things horse racing.
