Here’s what happened Thursday on Doug and Wolf:

* The Suns extended their winning streak to six after beating the Jazz last night 118-114. Doug is hopeful that they will make the playoffs and is impressed with the team’s new style of play especially Grant Hill. Wolf still thinks that when the season is over the team will be blown up.

* U.S. Senators are getting off the sidelines to examine antitrust issues involving the Bowl Championship Series. Under the current BCS, some conferences get automatic bids to participate in series, while others do not. Should Congress be solving College Football’s problems or our country’s problems?
Doug and Wolf: “No congress, stay out! We can solve our own problems!”

* D&W are nervous about their brackets…They need YODA to come through or else they will be wearing hot dog suits at Chase Field while Gambo & Ash point and laugh.

Grid Irion Griddle:

The NFL draft order will be changed, from now on if you make the playoffs your draft position will only be determined among how you do with other playoff losers.

D&W: Both agree that this is a good rule. This rule will already be enforced with the Cardinals right away.

The NFL is considering adding 2 more games to their schedule, and cutting out 2 preseason games.

Wolf: “Going to 17 games is a bad thing for the athlete’s health. Is this why they have been enforcing tougher rules and punishments to make the games safer so they can then extend the season? Hmmm… Doesn’t the NFL make enough money already?”

Guests:

Kevin Spencer, Cardinals Special Teams Coach: Kevin tried to motivate Doug and Wolf about their “Sweet 16” picks. He also told us why the loss of the wedge will change special teams in the NFL.

John Clayton, ESPN NFL Insider: John called in live from the NFL Winter Meetings. He gave us his thoughts on the recent rule changes.

Al McCoy, Suns Hall of fame Broadcaster: Al reviewed the Suns big win over the Jazz last night.

Pauls Call: Paul Calvisi takes his sports seriously, without taking himself too seriously. Your daily dose of irreverence, angst, and stupification.

Here’s what happened Monday on Doug and Wolf:

Daron Sutton, Diamondbacks Announcer was in for Ron Wolfley today

* Curt Schilling announced his retirement via his blog yesterday. Is Curt Schilling a Hall of Famer? Doug: “He has too low of a win total to be considered, even with 3,000 strikeouts.” Daron: “He is absolutely a Hall of Famer, the fact that he performed the way he did during the steroid era, he was simply one of the best pitchers of his time with a huge post season upside”

* Suns had a impressive win over the Nuggets last night beating them 118-115. Is this Cinderella story over? Doug thinks: “It is just too little too late for the Suns”

* Leandro Barbosa is listed to be out 1-3 weeks but he said recently that he will not be on the Suns last road trip. Doug: “So basically he won’t be back for at least 2 weeks”

Grid Iron Griddle:

According to ESPN.com NFL owners voted Monday to modify the schedule to ease the burden of cross-country road trips. Under the new plan east coast teams would not have to make the trip out west more than once a year. Is this east coast bias by the NFL?

Doug agrees that there might be something to it, even though he usually doesn’t agree with these types of biases.

Guests:

Mike DeCourcy, College Basketball Insider: Mike took a look at the NCAA brackets and predicted some possible upsets.

Bert Blyleven, former MLB Pitcher: Bert discussed Curt Schilling and if he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Eddie Johnson, Suns Analyst: Eddie discussed the Suns being 3 games out of making the playoffs with 12 games left in the season.

Al McCoy, Suns Hall of Fame Broadcaster: Al reviewed the Suns big win over the Nuggets last night.

Here’s what happened Thursday on Doug and Wolf:

We are broadcasting LIVE from Basha’s in Chandler

* The Suns beat the 76ers last night, with 14 games left in the season the Suns are still 4 games out of a playoff spot. D&W think the Suns are out of the playoffs but they thought that Shaq, Nash and Hill played extremely well.

* D&W can’t wait for the March Madness to begin! Wolf is of course picking his W.V. Mountaineers over Kansas. Doug and Wolf Upset Alert is in full effect: Wolf has picked Illinois losing in the first round and Doug has picked Xavier.

*D&W have ASU advancing to the Sweet 16 while Gambo and Ash have Syracuse…loser runs the bases as a condiment. * Kurt Warner had surgery on his left hip yesterday. He is expected to be out for up to two months. Considering Warner’s age and the fact he was sacked 26 times last season along with countless other hits. Are you concerned now that this surgery will have lingering effects?  Wolf: Is not worried “Warner was never a mobile quarterback anyway, he will be fine and passing for 4,000 yards.” Doug: wonders…“If Warner passed his physical with this injury? And if he didn’t how did he sign his new contract?”

Grid Irion Griddle:

The competition committee will review a new proposition for a rule that states: “When the ball comes loose when a quarterback is throwing, replay can be used to determine if it is a fumble or an incomplete pass.”

Wolf: “Does anyone see the bigger picture here? Does anyone see the consequences of this rule change? Football players have been taught since they were five to stop playing when the whistle blows…this is so fundamentally unsound that I question my own knowledge about what is going on here.”

Guests:

Tim Kempton, Suns Analyst: Tim gave us his thoughts about the Suns chances of making the playoffs.

Steve Lavin, ESPN College Basketball Analyst: Steve talked about potential bracket busters and previewed this weekend’s NCAA games.
