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.

On our bonus Masters Recap Podcast: we join John in CT and Mike in North NJ to recap the 2014 Masters Tournament.   The final round featured a brief battle between Bubba Watson and 20 year old wunderkind Jordan Spieth.  Spieth would falter in holes 8 and 9 and Bubba Watson would go on to win the Masters Championship.  We'll cover the 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 course, the strikingly warm weather conditions, and more from the Masters.  Special 1 hour show.

This week we look at UConn's exciting Tournament Run which ended with their National Championship on Monday night.   Coach Kevin Ollie, Shabazz Napier, and Ryan Boatwright led a great UConn defense to unseat 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".
