Tonight on DITC - Donald Sterling's long running racist/insensitive
viewpoints get exposed, leading to a lifetime ban by the NBA's
Commissioner Adam Silver. We'll cover the evil, awful human that is
Donald Sterling, the ban by Silver, and what it means for the Clippers
and the NBA going forward. Is the harsh ruling a potential precedent
for future insensitivity in the league? How does Sterling's dismissal
impact the NBA and ownership in other industries? PLUS we'll cover the
NBA playoffs, some wild NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs series including a
Ducks improbable comeback on the Stars, the equally improbably series
comeback by the Kings vs the Sharks and more. THEN hopefully we hear
from "Kevin on the Cape" and Random Questions. Special Tuesday Show.

This week we cover the only important topic in sports*: THE NFL
SCHEDULE! We'll discuss the big matchups this year in the NFL along
with the opening week kickoff, some changes in National Prime Time
coverage, including CBS and NFL Network's new Thursday Night football
package, NBC's new coevage of the Divisional Round, and ESPN's award of a
Wild Card round game. Will the defending champion Seahawks be
featured on opening Thursday? Will the 49ers have a good schedule to
make their way back to the Super Bowl? How many of the Sunday Night
games will NFC East Teams take up? Will the Cowboys still be a big draw
in prime time? That and more PLUS Random Questions in Hour 2 with Kevin on the Cape.
*I was just being sarcastic with that phrase. It's one of many big ongoing sports stories this week.

A Stanley Cup Playoffs preview podcast with Robert in Virginia and
possibly a few other guests. We'll cover the matchups in the first
round in the Eastern and Western Conferences including big Stanley Cup
favorites like the Bruins, Blues, Ducks, Penguins, and Blackhawks. The
Blackhawks, defending Cup champions, haven't been consistent all year
but look to give the Blues the scare of their lives in what could be a
very even series. The Wild and Avalanache, two upstart teams, face
each other in a Wild Card matchup of the Wild West, plus, two familiar
foes in the Kings and Sharks play in a rematch of last year's 7 game
semifinal thriller. All this plus a look at Detroit's first playoff run
as an Eastern Conference team, the new playoffs format, and a swan song
playoff for the Ducks' Teemu Selanne. Also tonight in Hour 2, Kevin on
the Cape joins Dave for "Random Questions" as Spring hits full swing.

particulars of both Watson and Spieth plus cover the other events of the
Masters, plus the vibe of Augusta without Tiger Woods, an unusual
number of well known players missing the cut, some changes to the

This week we look at UConn's exciting Tournament Run which ended with
their National Championship on Monday night. Coach Kevin Ollie,

Kentucky in the National Title Game, along with their big wins against
Florida in the Final Four and Michigan State in the Elite 8. It's been
quite a run. Plus, a small preview of the upcoming 2014 Masters Golf
Tournament and in Hour 2, Kevin on the Cape joins Dave for "Random Q's".
