NBC Sports’ Mike Tirico was a guest on Glenn Clark Radio Friday.

Among the topics he discussed were:
-His disappointment in the struggles of the Orioles (and whether they could do something similar with Adley Rutschman as the Tigers did with Spencer Torkelson?)
-Whether Sovereignty not running the Preakness after winning the Kentucky Derby is proof that it it time to adjust the Triple Crown schedule
-Are the parties that be (namely the Maryland Jockey Club/Preakness and NYRA/Belmont Stakes) on board with finally making the calendar change?
-Thoughts on this being the final Preakness at the “old” Pimlico
-Ravens/Bills Week 1 on Sunday Night Football and Bengals/Ravens on Thanksgiving night in Baltimore
