Too early to talk NFL draft? No chance. No chance. I've got something. I might end up being stubborn about this one. All right. Good afternoon to you. Good Monday afternoon. I'm Dan Kovachievich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is double shot back after a week off because I had all kinds of

0:26.2

hockey work to do on the other side of the country. And while that was happening, the senior

0:32.1

bowl was going on in Mobile, Alabama. We'll have Chris Halleck on to talk about that in the next segment.

0:38.7

He was down there covering it for us, of course.
