Rapid Fire: Notre Dame's Undefeated Chances, Kyren Williams And Reggie Brooks Runs, Joey Chestnut

Irish Breakdown

Rapid Fire topics include:

* ESPN’s FPI gives Notre Dame the best chance of any team in the country to go undefeated this season. Which do you think is most likely to happen: The Irish go 12-0 or they go 10-2?

* There’s some debate on the Irish Breakdown Champions Lounge about this: Which is the better Notre Dame run play: Kyren Williams in 2021 vs North Carolina or Reggie Brooks in 1992 vs Michigan?

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that in my interview with Notre Dame All-American point guard Hannah Hidalgo, she told me she never talked to UConn head coach Geno Auriemma during her recruiting process.

* Fox NFL analyst Greg Olsen says NFL announcers would have an easier time calling NBA games than vice versa, because of the pace of basketball and the accessibility of the sport. In an interview on Pardon My Take, Olsen said the constant stop and start of football forces broadcasters to fill more airtime and have something real to say before and after every play. While basketball is just as complex as a sport, Olsen argued he and other NFL announcers could fake their way through the small pockets of a basketball broadcast more easily. Buy or Sell Olsen’s take?

* Fill-in the blank...The NFL is going to the XFL kickoff rule this season and the fact that Baltimore Ravins kicker Justin Tucker says he’s tried to bulk up because he says kickers are involved in around 25% of the tackles is BLANK.

* Joey Chestnut will not be allowed to participate in the Fourth of July Nathan’s Famous hot dog eating contest because he is endorsing a different hot dog brand. It’s actually a plant-based hot dog made by Impossible Foods, which is a competitor to Nathan’s. Will the exclusion of the eight-time reigning champion make you more likely or less likely to watch next month’s contest?
