Greg Cote Show: Canes AD Blake James talks coronavirus, impact on football and Manny Diaz

The Greg Cote Show With Greg Cote, your official Stay at Home Podcast, is out with new Episode 6!

We bring you a wide-ranging, revealing conversation with a college athletic director in the time of no sports, as the Miami Hurricanes’ Blake James discusses his own stay-at-home regimen, the erasure of spring sports and whether football season could be delayed or start with no fans. Oh, and how he feels about that 6-7 season and coach Manny Diaz and more.

We also discuss the most recent developments in sports since the coronavirus pandemic shut down all games, including some of the sublimely ridiculous stuff now being televised in the void of actual live sports.

Episode 6 also includes the fun stuff you have come to expect each week. We’re back with another edition of “Greg Doesn’t Watch Movies,” in which sons Chris and Michael seek to embarrass their father (and typically succeed). Greg uses this as an excuse to discuss his epic-though-unheralded role in the 1981 film “Absence of Malice.”

Hear all of this and more on the latest episode of The Greg Cote Show With Greg Cote, available on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, Megaphone or wherever you get your podcasts, including MiamiHerald.com, of course. It’s totally free and with no paywall. Please listen, subscribe, rate, review — and stay home and safe.
