It still may feel like the dead of winter in Canada but MLB spring training has started and with it comes a whole bunch of new rules. Some seem pretty good, some seem kind of dumb, which got us thinking about some of the other dumb rules in sports.  Also in this episode: The mailbag, some TV recommendations and a podcast that seems kind of familiar.
