GLENN: THANKS FOR JOINING US.
GREG: IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE PASSING OF DEAN SMITH, THE COACHING INNOVATOR WHO WON TWO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AT NORTH CAROLINA, AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL IN 1976 AND INDUCTION INTO BASKETBALL'S HALL OF FAME MORE THAN A DECADE BEFORE HE LEFT THE BENCH, DIED ON SUNDAY. HE WAS 83.
GLENN: THE NFL COMBINE IS IN FULL SWING. TEAMS ARE GETTING READY FOR NEXT SEASON. BUT I WANT TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK BACK TO SUPER BOWL 49 BECAUSE I DO HAVE AN ISSUE.
GREG: STAYING WITH FOOTBALL AND THE COMBINE WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE MEDIA’S CREATION OF THE JAMEIS WINSTON - MARCOS MARIOTTA COMPETITION? AND SPEAKING ABOUT GUYS COMING OUT OF COLLEGE, CARDEL JONES, OHIO STATE’S STAND OUT 3RD STRING QUARTERBACK DECIDED TO STAY IN SCHOOL. SHOULD HE HAVE STAYED OR SHOULD HE HAVE BOLTED FOR THE NFL?
GREG: THE NEW YORK JETS HIRED TODD BOWLES AS HEAD COACH TO REPLACE REX RYAN. IS THIS A GOOD MOVE FOR THE JETS? AND GIANTS MAY GIVE TOM COUGHLIN AN EXTENSION IS THIS GOOD FOR THE GIANTS?
GLENN: SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT QUARTERBACKS, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT MY TOP FIVE NFL QBS OF ALL TIME: 1) MONTANA 2) BRADY 3) DOUG WILLIAMS 4) AARON ROGERS 5) WARREN MOON ...THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT! AND RUSSELL WILSON IS RIGHT BEHIND MOON, SO THERE.
GREG: I NOTICED THAT PEYTON MANNING IS NOT ON YOUR LIST. MANNING TOLD THE DENVER BRONCOS THAT HE IS READY TO ROLL. DOES HE HAVE ANOTHER SUPERBOWL RUN LEFT IN HIS ARM?
A huge shoutout goes to three African-American swimmers who took the top three finishes in a single event at the Women's Division 1 NCAA Championship. Simone Manuel and Lia Neal of Stanford University, and the University of Florida's Natalie Hinds took the top three spots respectively in the women's 100 yard freestyle on Sunday, March 22, 2015.
Fans who follow swimming closely, would remember that Neal won a bronze medal in the 4x100 free relay at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Upon their win, USA Swimming tweeted:
History @NCAA Swim Championships 100 free as @simone_manuel @LiaNeal @nathindss became first African-Americans to earn 1-2-3 #sportforall
Way to go, ladies, looking for continued greatness in 2016!!!
Katrina Adams made history when she was elected Chair, CEO and President of the United States Tennis Association. Adams became the first black person to lead the USTA as Chair, CEO, and President.
The video opens with an interview conducted last summer at the US OPEN 2014, with D.A. Abrams, USTA’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, who foretold Ms. Adam’s ascension.
What's The 411Sports hosts Glenn Gilliam and Gregory Alcala are discussing New York basketbal in the run-up to the NBA playoffs and Steve Nash's retirement.
Steve Nash, a Canadian born in South Africa, played in the National Basketball Association for the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, the Phoenix Suns again, and lastly with the Los Angeles Lakers. An outstanding point guard, Nash, was an eight-time NBA All-Star and a two-time recipient of the NBA Most Valuable Player Award.
Now that New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has retired, who will be the face of New York baseball? Will it be Matt Harvey, Masahiro Tanaka, Curtis Granderson, CC Sabathia, Didi Gregorius, or minor league baseball player, Aaron Judge?
Now that Kentucky, Wisconsin, Duke, and Michigan State made it into the 2015 NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four, who will ascend to the Final 2 and ultimately win the championship?
Many have their eyes on Kentucky as the Wildcats come to the tournament with a 38-0 record.
Can Kentucky get past Wisconsin?
Can Michigan State under Tom Izzo derail the Duke Blue Devils?
We shall see on Saturday, April 4, 2015, but in the meantime, watch the What's The 411Sports hosts, Glenn Gilliam and Greg Alcala duke it out in this video (no pun intended)!
