Tomorrow, Thursday, we go old school in 50 hits, but we also celebrate something that we started called SGA day. And that means we get to show up in our most ridiculous outfit.

4:03But whatever we have in our closet that we're too scared, sometimes men especially aren't willing to take those fashion risks, those style chances in life because your friends they bust your chops when you try to do anything different. So tomorrow we'll take those chances and we'll wear our best Yeti outfit for coat, whatever he was wearing recently. You could play along on the Fox Sports Radio, Covino Rich YouTube page. Now, before you get to Mike's words of wisdom in a second, any final thoughts on Max Crosby, not to the Ravens, back to the Raiders, they saw a tray Hendrixen and the owner, there is no film. Who is calling? It's the Gotham bat line right there. Yeah. Just keeps going on. I do have a few thoughts. I think we hear these stories and we forget that there's real people involved, right? We think they're robot gladiators with no real emotion. We don't really seem to care. But for a second, realize the emotional roller coaster that Max Crosby had to go through.

5:07So therefore the chip on his shoulder and I'm wondering, does he now want to stay with the Raiders? What is he really thinking? Does he want to see who wants him the most? Or be the Cowboys, the Bears, the 49ers, like, where's the best opportunity for him? But for a minute, just think about what it would be like for you to be somewhere and you're all pumped and you've already shifted your mindset about, I guess I'm a Raven moving forward. This is crazy only to get it swept back and now you're back in Vegas as a Raider. It's sort of weird, man. It's got to be a weird feeling for him. And again, they talked about it on Dan Patrick. Yeah. Donald Diana Rucini actually mentioned that she said, think about Max Crosby getting his family onto this jet, flying to Baltimore and then going into the facility there. And she said that the word was the atmosphere was kind of off from the beginning of his visit. And then he had to go into the office with him and then they gave him the bad news and he had to fly back after saying a big goodbye and everything to everybody in Vegas and

6:09having that sobriety party. He had slash going away party. It's the really awkward part. You made all these phone calls, you said your goodbyes, you hugged everybody, you mentally accepted it and then it's grand opening, grand closing. And now what? Like, I'm wondering what he really feels deep down and as a fan, Danny G, what would you want? Like are you pumped that you got him back? It's weird. It's mixed emotions because for a few days, you got used to the fact that, okay, you got the number 14 pick now, obviously the front office of the new regime. They have a vision. You were going to pump them up the moves. I love the moves there, making it and they're still great moves. But now that veteran guy who could go help a team that's ready to win in the postseason right now, which is not the Raiders is on your team. Do the Raiders kind of, do they need them right now for 2026? No, but he's a man on a mission and what I would say is I would restructure his contract if he's down for it. And then that way your cap hit is for this season, at least is, you know, there's a little bit of a cushion for you to get some depth and more depth.

7:10There'd be a tiny shadow of doubt, a little bit of speculation on, well, what did they really see that made them back out? Is that, is there truth to what they've heard about that? He's probably like his, his value has to be dipped down a little bit because everyone thinks it's BS. This happened with two breeze. Sure about that. This happened with two breeze in the dolphins, remember? If the sentiment across the board, but if you're making a trade for me, you sure you're just going to like, yeah, it's BS roll with that. Have your doctors look at it. But I think the sentiment is that people feel in general that there's a little fishy about this. And I thought a few different things. Have you ever gone on a job interview? It could have been an internship or it could have been a job where you are pretty sure I might take this job. And then last minute you change your mind and you almost think like, man, I went there and I was pretty sure that would be my life now. And then you're like, you know, no, I'm going to stay at my old job. I think everyone's done the oopsie daisy. Have you ever been to a job one day and you're like, yeah, this isn't for me. And you go back or something. It's happened.

8:11And I can't have a conversation without bringing up a New York Met, right? Do you guys remember because this was a national story. I thought you were going to bring up Kastanza. I was just showing back up after he quit. Wilmer Flores who I believe is still in the giants. He's still playing. Yeah. The last time I checked, he's a San Francisco giant. He came up from the time he was a teenager, drafted into the Met's farm system. He was a New York Met. And do you remember that footage of when he found out mid game he had been traded? Yeah. He was a waterworks. He was crying out TV and hug and all his teammates crying the tears and the tears only to find out. Deal fell through stays on the meds. So those emotional moments, yeah, you can't tell me Max Crosby didn't have that moment like, well, I guess silver and blacks behind me. How many idiotic fans do you think threw out their jersey? Maybe someone was smart enough to buy a jersey on the discount rack. Any half intelligent fan did not do that.

9:11And Crosby had a 13 minute goodbye. Very heartfelt saying he would come back and end his career with the Raider. He would always stay a Raider. If he stays with the Raiders, imagine him winning with Fernando. If Fernando Mendoza turns out to be the real deal. And in a couple of seasons can lead that team to the postseason. And I know I'm big dream in here, bro, but in three, four seasons of Fernando list that trophy. And Max Crosby happens to be on the squad, then the narrative is going to be like, oh my God, this guy was not a Raider for a few days. Did he miss that on? Did he? When you said the Super Bowl damn buyer spit out his coffee. I think he was talking to me as well, but he said, hey, bro, that's right. Look, we got kubiak. We got Dan's offensive coordinator. So I'll tell you what, you mentioned the Wilmer Flores. That was a trade with the Brewers, by the way, there was a time when the Seahawks moved for a weekend to Anaheim. This is in the late 1990s that they moved to Anaheim. They're about to be relocated.

10:13And then the NFL stopped it, put up for sale, Paul Adel, Alan Bottom and the rest is history. But for a weekend, they were like the Anaheim Seahawks. It's like a psych. You know, it happens in life, Rich and I have friends that announced divorces. And like, I mean, we're so sorry about it, you know, like a few months later, they're back with their relationship and it's like, wait, so there's just, you're just kidding, I guess. What happened? You guys are good. I thought you had a new apartment and everything. Now you're back in. That's the guy we work with here. I won't call him out. But he gave everyone like a bro hug, goodbye. And then he's like, oh, by the way, guys, I'm staying. I want my goodbye back. So it was an emotional roller coaster to save the least and it's going to be interesting to see what happens next. And again, as we said, yesterday it was a three-headed monster of drama, world baseball classic team USA pulled the boner as the expression goes, I'm not going to beep that either, huh? No, because that means bonehead moon. Bonehead move from Mark DeRosa, not knowing the rules. The whole team should be embarrassed.

11:13And of course, Max Crosby, back with the Raiders, that drama and conspiracy, there's a lot of speculation there. We didn't even get the BAM out of bio yet. And we won't until we play Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. We'll talk BAM next. What up, Mike? Hello, gentlemen. Mike, what are your thoughts on everything we've talked about so far? Ty, I know you're sitting in your office just with your ears glued to C&R every day. I think that the Raiders need to move on from Max Crosby, and they just need to find a new shooter now. Exactly. They need to get what they can for him. I don't think he's happy there. I'm sure he loves the fan base and he loves the town and he likes being a Raider. I don't think he's happy with the way he's been treated there by the management. And even if even if there's new people around now, I just don't think it's repairable. That's all I'm saying. But that roster, Mike, is a lot better today than it was on Friday when he left. Danny, don't come at me with your myopic Raiders, whatever. No, it's the truth. That's that's that's not me.

12:14Okay, they signed some good players and trust me, I'm surprised because last off season, the Raiders did not go out on a spending spree like the Patriots in Chicago Bears, but this season they did. There were times that Max Crosby on the field went healthy, looked so frustrated, just playing on that team at times. We'll see. I mean, yeah, because he kept giving the ball back. I think it's cute. Max Crosby and the whole fan base was frustrated last season because he and the defense would give the ball back to the offense and they would keep going through and out. And so I'd be a frustrated defensive player as well. Well, you know, Mike is here. His words of wisdom might not be on the Raiders, Danny, but he's got words of wisdom. And we do this every Wednesday, give away some prizes, Mike's words of wisdom. It's time for the guy that runs this place. Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place. It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

13:16And starting a new endeavor, you don't need to know everything today. You just need to learn a little more than yesterday. What does that mean? I heard you telling the new editor Mike that early. Well, we did have a new guy start today and in celebration of, you know, starting new things and Max Crosby looking to, you know, hopefully start somewhere new, I think, you know, I think it's important. We talk about Tyler Murray going to be starting somewhere. Right. A lot of new beginnings in the NFL right now. Now if you're new to the C&R experience, we do this every Wednesday. The rules are simple. You have to repeat that verbatim for your chance to win a prize pack, the C&R on FSR prize pack of mini nerf footballs and coosies and whatever, whatever the energy has like left over in the back. I'll throw you in a pack of Oreos, whatever. So again, your chance to win now 877 99 on Fox 877 99 on Fox, if you could repeat that word for word. A book of matches from the liquor store, whatever we got later on, you want to read it

14:19one more time? One more time. One more time. Okay. Here we go. When starting a new endeavor, you don't need to know everything today. You just need to learn a little more than yesterday and it's so true and it's so true. All right. Thank you, Mike. 877 99 on Fox repeat that and win and we now shift gears to the third story of the three headed. What is going on in the world of sports monster? Like you said, WBC, Max Crosby, and now BAM out of bio, BAM out of bio 83 by you. Yeah. He's not living out in the bio. There's no buy you involved. BAMs in the out of bio. I'm out of bio, but I had 83 points and again, not known for being a high scoring NBA player, 20 of 43, 36 of 43 from the foul line, 7 for 22 when it came to three points against a wizard's team that kind of stinks.

15:23I mean, really stinks. I mean, that's part of the criticism, as well as had dumbledore on the court and there was a Harry Potter was out there. He still did it, you know, and by the way, the people that are mad about the Kobe thing, that's such a non story and that comes from a place of of high respect and high regard for Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant didn't hold the record. He was in second. Why do people not grasp that? You can't get mad at second place. I don't know. I don't know. It's like the second place guy. It's not like Kobe Bryant was the record holder and he beat him in a weak performance in a weak circumstance. No, that's not what happened. He just surpassed him as number two now. Imagine being like, I imagine being like, oh man, you were your voted second in the PSI young instead of the third. I don't know. And by the way, everyone's okay with Wilk Chamberlain having the hundred points, right? Hello, Fox Sports Radio. So much controversy as to how he scored those 100 points. No one even knows how many block shots he had in that game.

16:23All right. And who was he playing against? But everyone acknowledges that he had a hundred points. So if we're going to acknowledge that he had a hundred points, then it doesn't matter how BAM scored his 83. He had 83. Yeah. I mean, the reality is it's it's angry Kobe fans and I get it. It's it really is. I saw was it the coolest way to happen? No, I saw it was it from an unassuming or unexpected. I should say player. Yes. Well, okay. Let's be fair. How many times in the NBA just this season, are we going to see and have already seen a big time score go up against a crap ass team that's tanking for the rest of the season anyway? So you talk about the wizards being a terrible team who weren't like that happens every day in the league still takes a lot to score 83 points. It still takes a damn lot to score at his points. And frankly, I have to believe and I'm a huge Laker fan myself and I'm a Kobe guy. I have to think that Kobe would have had absolutely no problem with any of this.

17:27And that if it was Kobe chasing Michael Jordan, who had 81 points, you damn straight Kobe would have been doing everything he could to get past 81. Yeah. Um, this. This is sort of the sentiment. I saw Michelle Beetle and some people on a roundtable show saying it could be entertaining that a man did what he did, but you could also be irritated because it was ugly, gross, and kind of cheap, especially the last seventh to 10 points. Kobe fans are angry. And that's really the sense of what you're seeing every one that he passed a number two guy. That's kind of corny to me to be honest. I was like, when everyone gasped and I was mad about the straight hand sex, like it was like, oh, I was. I think what they're upset about is it didn't seem like it came in the natural flow of the game. It didn't come in the Oh my God. He hit another three. Oh my God. He's unstoppable. He's on fire. It was more like, I have the guy got 40 some opportunities from the free or if the game was within 10 points, like it was during Kobe's that beginning of the fourth quarter for Kobe. It's called a two pack of ass. Yeah. I mean, what was it? 20 point lead or whatever it was. So I think that's where the criticism is.

18:28Yeah. Where was the defense? What was that circus score that we saw last night? And they were fouling them. They just weren't fouling him Detroit piston style, which is what we would have saw in the 80s if a dude was going off like that. 83 is a hell of a lot of points. Should there been, and the other controversies should they have pulled them out of respect for Kobe or whatever. And like Mike said, no way in the name of competition, you leave them in there. Let them go for it. I don't think even Kobe would have wanted to see that 20 point. He's averaging what 20 points this year per game. So that's why people are like, who do you want? His career high prior to this was 41 wait, man. He's not even known for scoring like that 83 points. I think that makes it a cool story. Truth be told, this guy had like the game of his life just insane. Truth be told, I got to ask because I saw the highlights like everyone, but I wasn't locked into a random Tuesday night Miami heat game from the jump. Was it he just had the touch or they just have a game plan like I like, what how do you

19:29even explain? That average is 20 31 points. I don't know. The first. Thank you Mike out the gate. He was unstoppable. And they just kept this. I guess the whole game. And then fans took over. Well, that was is he's point on the show prior to ours is that a lot of the national media only saw the last seven to 10 points as you read in that post rich. So if you saw the first and second quarter, you saw how dominant he was. And in the beginning of the game, they were they were triple team in the guy. I mean, listen, I the way I found out like a lot of people, I'm. I was coaching my kids baseball yesterday, went out with some of the kids and the parents for burgers afterwards. And we were all watching the world baseball classic. We were watching TV USA losing it. And then someone goes, I'll look it over there. You know, Bams got he's going to get 83 points. I didn't watch the first quarter. I saw the highlights as they rolled like on a silent TV at the bar. You know, I think we are really relying on those the last few cheap points. If he was that hot in the beginning of the game, he got to get the guy credit. You know what I'm saying? He's like three points.

20:30You don't willy nilly score 83 points. Why do we really care? There's nobody's getting a prize. There's no award for any of this. And as far as I'm concerned, eight, Kobe's 81 is still a hell of a better game than what Bams put up. So what you're saying is no word for that, but there's an award for repeating what you say. Yes. That's correct. Well, I got to give credit where it's due. I did hear this point on our pal Dan Patrick show. It's not like Kobe Bryant's career was defined by 81 points, not even close. Yeah. Right. So, and I believe you honest said it. Does anyone know how many foul shots Kobe Bryant took in that game like before they looked it up yesterday when all said and done years from now, no one's going to know how many foul shots, how many free throws he took in this game. If anything, it'll be a good trivia question because it's not it's a good player, but not a not like a legend where I think it will be a great question in 10, 20 years from now. Your kids will be grown up.

21:30They'll be a bar and it'll be like bar night trivia night. We all know Will Chamberlain had a hundred points who had the second most and it'll be like, who was it again? Oh, yeah. I'm out of my view. Bam. That's right. Yeah. I think it's, you know, an unlikely guy, you know, I think it was a really cool moment and happy for the dude and he said it to he's a big Kobe fan. So I'm happy for that. I think the only people really upset are guys with Kobe Bryant tattoos like Danny J. And if you really not upset about it, no, but hold on. But if you really did like love Kobe Bryant, I don't expect you to like it, right? You don't have to like it, but you got to give the dude his props. Yeah. That's it. Simple as that. I don't expect every single record in every single sport is meant to be broken. Yeah. I mean, players will go on hand to watch their record be broken in person. I think you guys are all crazy. Those 83 points last night mean bam is a better player than Kobe.

22:31Guys. Guys. All right. Are we all agreed? That's what silly about this debate. Record wasn't broken. He just surpassed the guy. I saw more noise, Kovino, not from Kobe fans, but from some basketball fans that just hated the end of that game because it was embarrassing. You know, well, when you start when you start fouling just so that you can turn the possession over and give your guy another shot. That's a little weak. And we made fun of a LeBron game earlier this season because they were doing that for LeBron. Remember? It's really, it's so funny that you would say that. But I think the best point made and I hate to give him props is the guy to the right of me. Steve Kovino. What did I say? It wasn't a record. Yeah. Like we're making a big deal about. We're making a bit like. But it's a fun story about Cal Ripken. He broke Lou Gehrig's record. Bam on a bio broke. Nobody's record. Yeah. Break game. Yeah. Number two now. It's not Aaron Judge breaking the American League home run record over Maris and, you know, you know, any, you know, there's no, there's nothing at stake here.

23:33Nothing at all. Is that so funny? His name is on a list. All right. You know what? Let's, let's get a contest. And if you can repeat Mike's words of wisdom, you want a prize. And then I'm excited. I guess after that, we got Iowa Sam and midweek major. Who do we got, Danny James? All right. First in line. Sean and Phoenix. What's up, Sean? All right. When starting a new and them endeavor, you don't need to know everything today. You just need to learn a little more than yesterday. Wow. He went right after it. Let's go. Dang. Danny got it. That's a wear. He was on the edge of the seat. We really, we kept that bam conversation going in hopes that you forgot it. He went so fast that our judge Iowa Sam wasn't even ready. I didn't have my paper. I was, I was, you got it. You got it. Great. All right. Congratulations. Good job. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. Appreciate it. Appreciate you, man. I know a strategy. You probably had it in his head. And he's like, I know. No chitchat. I just want to say it. Don't distract me. And for the record, if you missed the game yesterday, because you were eating hamburgers, it

24:37was 150 to 129. Yeah. Like, that's just ridiculous. So I understand, like, yeah, what happened to defense, but guys, you're talking about the last end of the game. What's up, Mike? I got a bounce. I have an appointment to get my Kobe tattoo changed to a bam tattoo. Yeah. I understand. There you just a couple quick strokes of the, yeah, nice. The number 13, you make fun of me because I'm having burgers instead of watching the heat game. Let me ask you this. If you go to a burger spot. Yeah. I don't want to distract you because we have mid-a week major to get to, but real quick, are you choosing if they have a sweet potato fry option, is that the automatic for me? It is. Yeah. I'm a sucker for that. I don't like it because it's a little bit hard to go with this type of fries. Um, but we do sweet potato fries. I go, I'll go because in my mind, it's healthier, even though it's probably not. But that also, there is the option of the sweet potato fries. But not everybody loves it. Like you might I had those last night I thought you was like, well, Kavino definitely would

25:38have went, I mean, why would they call sweet potatoes if they weren't super sweet? I was saying I'm going to break it down next with mid week major right here on Fox Sports Radio.

31:14out of Bayou, out of Bayou, out of Bayou, out of Bayou, out of Bayou, out of Bayou. Well, I have an instinct to say out of Bayou, the same way I have an instinct to say shy alabouf. I don't know why. There's some days that I feel like by pronunciation. I think you just misspoke. Like Mark Dorosa. I know. Did he misunderstand? No, me and Dorosa, same cat. It's Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And we got midweek major coming up, but can we take a quick phone call? Yeah, then he's... Someone wants to talk about that ABA documentary real quick? Yeah. Dwight has been holding forever from Idaho. Dwight, tell me your thoughts on this. It's on prime soul power. What's up, man? Dwight. Nope. No, not again. I don't know. Yeah. Dwight's not there. Dwight punken us? Maybe it's line one because he's been on line one this whole time. Son of a... Dwight! You! Sabotage! Wait, put him on hold. I want to see if I'm going to try. All right.

32:15Put him on hold. All right. There we go. Dwight. Dwight. Hello, Dwight. No. Let's keep this on. We sound like robots. Hey guys, it's me Dwight, the alien. No. If he's still there for his patients today, I'm going to send him a C in our price back. We got to get to midweek major. Right, Dwight. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, Rich's mess with the phones. I'll continue. Your next success can be considered than you think. Put your goals within reach at University of Maryland Global Campus and accredited State University. Oh, yeah. Undergraduate and most graduate classes start soon. Learn more at UMGC.edu. That's you, M-G-C-D-E-D-U. And now it's time for midweek major! Kovino and Rich get you over the middle of the week. Midweek major. I love that. We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas.

33:17And it's like the kids say. That's so midweek definitely major. See in our scoring. Midweek major. Remix got to go really quick here to give our fill in. I will Sam at least six minutes before we hand things over to the number one fill in post. We roll the two big red love dice. Seven for code. It's to see who goes first. Oh, nine. I go first. Oh, that means Rich does get the first take in now. The most famous person besides Michael Mosley from Iowa City Iowa. Iowa Sam. Hi, Sammy. Thank you guys. I'll be quick here. We got three big stories. Some are a little happier. Some are a little sadder than others. We'll cover it all. Hey, let's start with global military conflicts and the upcoming World Cup. Everyone's favorite, right? Yeah. Most of you should know what has been happening between the U.S. Israel and Iran for almost last two weeks. This war is now having an impact on future sporting events. The Iranian men's soccer team was supposed to participate in the World Cup in June and Los Angeles.

34:17But today the Iranian sports minister Ahmad Danyam Ali says that's a no go. It is reported that he told Iranian state television. Given that this corrupt government assassinated our leader under no circumstances, can we participate in the World Cup? Iran was supposed to face off against New Zealand, Belgium and Egypt. It's possible that with Iran's withdrawal from the competition or Iraq or United Arab Emirates could take its place. War impacting global sports competitions midweek or major. You know, I think it's major. That's how we major. And I'll tell you why because politics and global war and stuff and conflicts aside. Listen, you can't compare where this big conflict's going on the world. Soccer doesn't compare. They can't play. They can't play. There's real, real world stuff going on. It's a world cup. So why are they using their animosity toward the U.S. and whatever against the whole competition? It's almost like, can you focus on it?

35:18By the way, are we at war? I thought it was a military strike. But I'm saying, could you really think soccer could take a priority for any country that's in the middle of a huge conflict? Basically, they're saying like this. The men's national team in Iran is not going to the U.S. They're saying like this. There's a lot of controversy with the women's soccer team. Right. A asylum in Australia. But President Trump was, oh, he said he was okay with them coming here to play. But I mean, I just think sport. I do. We work for Fox Sports. I just think sports takes a backseat to real life. And I think if they're like, yeah, this is going to work. What are we going to do? Have someone else fill in. It's not like Iran was going to win the world cup. I'll just put a positive spin on it. Give these people something to cheer about. No. I mean, you got to show them some hope. And maybe soccer is the answer after 9-11. I'm not comparing any of the two or anything like that. But what is it that made us feel a sense of normalcy and gave us hope about the future? When sports came back. When we watched Mike Piazza hit a home run. When we watched baseball.

36:19I got you. I mean, let them play. But I get it not as important. I do understand. I'd say it's major. Major. Major story. That's what we major. All right, let's go to another story. This one's even darker, even more and more bit, even more bizarre. Oh, jeez. Not that the last one was so much. But this is a bit of a disturbing story in very 2026. Former NFL linebacker, Darren Lee, has been charged with murder and tampering with evidence after the recent death of his girlfriend, Gabriella Carvalho Parpetuo, who was found dead in a home in Tennessee in February. It was later revealed by authorities that Lee used chat GPT as an AI legal advisor of sorts on how to cover up the alleged murder and how to talk to authorities about what happened. He reportedly had a number of conversations with the popular AI software over a two-day period in the days following her death. Now, we've seen how AI can be misused and abused look no further than a grok of ex being asked to create explicit images. That recent controversy, and we've heard of people googling highly suspicious things

37:20and having their search histories used as incriminating evidence against them, guys, this sad and bizarre story of leaving behind a digital trail of evidence midweek or major. Major? And I don't know. Say, let's not talk about it, not because it's a sensitive subject, because if idiots and bad people are going to incriminate themselves by asking chat GPT, let them do it. We find them. We arrest them. We get rid of them. Imagine creating a digital trail of a heinous crime. Like, hey, chat GPT, how do I get rid of a body? Like, you used to Google that stuff and be like, how do I do this? How do I do that? How do I have evidence against them? You ever see someone get accused of murder and it's like, oh, that's weird. They bought a shovel rope and everything at home depot and then Googled, how do I get rid of a body? Like, let these idiots bury themselves. I also think it's a major. That's how we major. For so many reasons, just how much stock people put into chat GPT as if it's their confidant, their personal... Let them think that. Psychiatrist and you're going to crazy lengths to find how to murder someone or cover it up

38:23like through chat GPT. It's really dangerous, just really concerning for young people. And, yeah, major. I hope that... That's how we major. I hope this all works out, put it that way. Any other bright uplifting stories, Sam? Actually, we will finish on an actual uplifting to a fun positive story. Some great story of men's college basketball. It is March after all, teams are punching their tickets to the very large basketball waltz. And Pride is sky high for Hofstra. Hofstra. Hasn't been to the tourney since 2001. After winning the Coastal Athletic Association Conference Tournament Tuesday night, the Pride is back in the state of New York. Hofstra's coach back in 2001. Hall of Famer J. Wright, who went on to national championships at Villanova. And one of J's star players was Speedy Clackston. And guess who the current Hofstra head coach is? Speedy Clackston. Yes, it's Speedy Clackston. And Speedy helped get Hofstra to its first NCAA tournament. Good old Speedy Clackston scene. Yeah. Sounds like a guy from the 1930s. Speedy helped... Oh, my music, where'd it go?

39:23There we go. Well, Speedy back in the day, he helped Hofstra get to their first NCAA appearance in 23 years. So sports coming full circle, midweek or major? I think it's mid for everyone but me. Major for me, I lived. Yeah, I grew up 10 minutes from Hofstra University. It's where all the local guidos that were too good for community college went. Hofstra University. I'm going to tell Wayne Crabette, you said that. Wayne Crabette, best known, Hofstra University. We would have a big, our, you know, championship games would be at Hofstra University. A lot of great college bars by Hofstra. And I think it's cool, man. Honestly, if you live on Long Island, that is like everyone's safety school. Because it's a good school, but it's like, I'm going to apply here, here and here. But if I don't get in, guess where I'm going to go? Hofstra University. The back of the dance, being claxed in there. I'm going, good for speedy. It's a really nice story and it's cool to hear and props to speedy claxed in for being that guy and coming full circle. Like, does Sam here that name up in the whole story? No, he's right here. I'm looking at him as we speak. Good old speedy claxed in.

40:23What say you week, mid? I'm going in some mid story overall. That's fine. I do like it's a nice story. It's a nice story. And you know what? Next week, I'll try to keep him a little more positive. And that's not your okay? No, those are all great stories. I mean, the other one is really sad. I'm just here, sad to hear about. I've got covered all of them. Yeah. I like that side. I like that side. Sam, I like that side off. And that's all she wrote. That's all she wrote. Thanks, guys. Let's go to Dan Byer for an update. TV. In the newsroom with Monty Belongos, distracting him. Oh. It's a newsroom party. Everyone was so checked out of Sam Segment. It's a little dark there. A little dark. It's amazing. Again, Monty's here. She's not even on the air, but yet she's been mentioned on Kavino and Rich. Usually when I leave you guys, Monty, bring it in. On the show. Here, I'm going over actual work with her on what's happening in the slate of games tonight. That's all we're doing. Monty's, she's a big rich Davis guy. Yeah. Interesting. Actually, Monty, can I have that sheet that I just gave to you? Did you hear what Eric DeCosta had to say earlier today, the Ravens GM talking about why the Max Crosby deal didn't go through?

41:24Only said this. Nobody is more upset about this than me, gutted by it, actually, a big regret for me. But we will move on as a football team. And I think there's many, many opportunities for us to grow as a team, to become a better team, to build a roster, and to be the team that we want to be. So they signed tray hundreds in today to a four-year deal with $112 million after the Max Crosby deal fell through the Buffalo Bills on former Dolphins defensive and Bradley chubbed to a three-year deal with more than $43 million. The Colts and quarterback Daniel Jones agreed to terms on a two-year contract worth $88 million. The NFL is considering playing a game on the night before Thanksgiving as soon as next season. I think he's fired men's basketball coach Adrian Entry today after three seasons. Some bubble teams, yes, for the NCAA tournament, Cincinnati was one of them. They lost an overtime to UCF in the second round of the big 12 tournament. Auburn's on the bubble. They beat Mississippi State 79-61, Louisville a 62-58 winner against SMU in the ACC in the Big Ten, Washington upset USC 83-79, Rory McElroy still unsure if he'll tee it up at the

42:26players' championship, and can it up for the first time ever advancing to the quarter finals of the World Baseball Classic, beating Cuba today seven to two congratulations to the Canadians. Guys, back to you. Any speedy clacks and updates? Nothing. Nothing for you. And, Monsey, I enjoyed on the YouTube your macarena behind Dan Byer while he did the update. Good work.

What's what's more likely in your mind for Mexico to win and score five or more runs? I agree with him by our or the alternative is Italy just winning straight up. Those are the two ways to be as Italy scrappy. But as you so inappropriately said in the beginning of the show, they sort of sort of went all out. Let's use that expression. Yes, they went all out. Yes. So Italy, Mexico, which was opposed to the better question on any given day. Would you

48:52rather have Italian food or Mexican food? Calories don't count. Dude, calories don't count. You know, that's that's so tough. And I grew up. It's your growth, right? Because Kavine, I'm Italian and if I told you, you could have like penne vodka, but chicken parm and pizza and all that or no repercussions or on the flip. You could have like chicken mole with guacamole and nachos and love it all, dude. Those tough. Those got to be the most popular cuisine in America, right? I think so. So tonight's a battle of the food. Yes, man. I could eat Mexican food like every day. I could eat burrito every day. I never get tired of it. Dude, you ain't get saved that for behind the velvet robe. I feel like we need to dive into this. That's a better question. Kavino's heritage. Half Italian, half Mexican.

Well, you know, we should do this on over promised tomorrow. If we run out of time, but tomorrow is who should win the WBC if cuisine was a factor if cuisine

49:55was a factor. Yeah, but look, USA's fate is on the line tonight, depending on what happens. Well, and if you missed it, either Italy has to win or Mexico has to score five or more runs.
