The 2026 NFL Combine wrapped up on Sunday from
Indianapolis. marking the official transition
of college football players to the NFL. While
attention focused on testing numbers impacting
the NFL draft in Pittsburgh, there were notable
insights from a college football perspective.
Several underperforming teams cannot blame a
lack of talent, as players like Penn State defensive
tackle Zane Durant showcased impressive skills.
Florida's Caleb Banks emerged as a potential
first round pick, further indicating that coaching
changes, rather than player performance, may
explain underachievement. Overall, the combine
highlighted a growing talent dispersal across
college football. In local sports, the World
Baseball Classic kicks off Wednesday, featuring
seven Padres players who left for their respective
teams over the weekend. Manny Machado, Fernando
Tatis Jr., and Wandy Peralta are with the Dominican
Republic. while Zander Bogarts joins the Netherlands
in Florida. Mason Miller is set to play for Team
USA in Arizona, and several minor league Padres
players are also participating. The first official
game will be between Chinese Taipei and Australia
in Tokyo. The Padres will face Team Great Britain
in an exhibition at noon. In top news, HBO Max
and Paramount Plus will become one streaming
service. Paramount states the streamers will
merge, while HBO will remain independent. Paramount
CDO David Ellison indicated that combining the
services may lead to better deals for viewers.
He mentioned we plan to put the two services
together, giving us over 200 million direct -to
-consumer subscribers. The average United States
household subscribes to four streaming services,
paying an average of $69 per month. Ellison emphasized
that HBO should stay HBO, preserving its strong
brand. The combined company is expected to have
a staggering $79 billion in debt. In business
news, the economy looks great on paper, but this
split in consumer mood could spell trouble. Recession
is more likely when consumers feel gloomy about
the economy and their own finances. Recent improvements
in American consumer sentiment are not as positive
as they seem. The Conference Board's Consumer
Confidence Index increased 2 .2 points in February
to 91 .2. The University of Michigan's Index
of Consumer Sentiment rose to 56 .6. A widening
spread between these indicators often signals
an impending recession. Recent improvements in
sentiment readings are not universally positive.

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now back to the show. Let's talk
tech. Apple might use Google servers to store
data for its upgraded AI Siri. Apple may be leaning
more on Google as it tries to catch up in artificial
intelligence. Apple has asked Google to explore
setting up servers for a new version of Siri
that is powered by Gemini and meets Apple's privacy
requirements. Apple announced in January that
Google's Gemini AI models would help power the
upgraded Siri, which was delayed last year. The
original partnership stated that the next generation
of Apple Foundation models will be based on Google's
Gemini models and cloud technology. While this
noted that Apple Intelligence would continue
to run on Apple devices and private cloud compute,
it did not specify if the new Siri would run
on Google's cloud. And in entertainment news,
the Justice Department's endeavor to break up
Live Nation Ticketmaster's parent company has
officially made its way to the courtroom. The
antitrust case began with jury selection on March
2nd in federal court in New York. Opening statements
are scheduled to start Tuesday, with the trial
expected to last six weeks. The lawsuit filed
in 2024 alleges that Live Nation has illegally
dominated the live concert industry by monopolizing
ticketing and concert booking. Live Nation directly
manages more than 400 musical artists and controls
around 80 % of major concert venues' ticketing.
