Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Fill-in the blank...With the national championship game just days away, the word that best describes Notre Dame football is BLANK. We react to talk show host Rich Eisen, who's a Michigan alum, telling Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard he's cheering for Notre Dame against Ohio State. * We react to comments from former Irish coach Brian Kelly, who says he is pulling for Notre Dame to win the national champion and also says his comments about leaving Notre Dame for LSU to have a better chance to himself win a title have been misinterpreted by fans and media. * We hear comments from former ND quarterback Brady Quinn about how Kelly's comments after leaving Notre Dame impacted Quinn's NIL fundraising efforts. * The College Football Coaches Association is exploring a solution to curtail players faking injuries during games. One possibility they’re looking at is requiring any injured player to miss the rest of the drive. A coach could use a timeout to get the player back in the game. An additional fine for the head coach is also a possibility. Do you Buy or Sell it?
