In this story:

Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The classic Notre Dame movie 'Rudy' turns 30 this year and Irish Breakdown is celebrating by talking about it on today's show. Sean Stires and Vince DeDario discuss favorite scenes, lines and characters, how well the movie holds up 30 years later and much more.

We have more to discuss in Rapid Fire. See the list of topics below.

We start Rapid Fire by discussing Bill Bender of the Sporting News ranking Notre Dame as the No. 8 team in the nation in the College Football Playoff era. We talk about his ranking system and where the Irish stand among the other elite teams across the country.

Other topics include:

* How many sacks will Fighting Irish defensive tackle Jason Onye get this year?

* Breaking news that Pat Fitzgerald has been fired at Northwestern.

* Fill-in the blank...Cincinnati Reds rookie Elly De La Cruz stealing 2nd....3rd and home in succession against Milwaukee this weekend is BLANK.

* Fill-in the blank....The Major League Baseball draft started last night and it’s BLANK that they held the draft inside the Seattle Seahawks’ Lumen Field. 

* Baseball is at the All-Star break. Cubs great Fergie Jenkins says they should bring back the old-timers game during the All-Star break. Do we Buy or Sell it?

* Home Run Derby picks.
