Thought we'd get second tier free agent signings. It would be the Celtics against the spurs would be the headliner. Then all of a sudden Max Crosby sent back to Las Vegas. And then all of a sudden bam out of bio goes for 83. And then the cute little matchup between Team USA and Italy in the world baseball classic. And it starts out eight nothing Italy. And they end up holding on to in it eight to six. Wow. That's what we love about this every single day, every single night. Might see something that you've never seen before.

Let's clean up the poll questions from the first two hours of the program. And then what's the poll question for the final hour on this award.

4:06Nominated program. Seaton more surprising the Crosby trade off. Bam dropping 83 or Italy over the United States right now. Bam putting up 83 is leading that one by a significant margin. Would you consider Marcus smart a gritty. Gutty player. 56% said yes. And then would you consider Jimmy Butler a gritty. Gutty player. 52% say yes. Okay. Mike and Oregon on that topic. Hi Mike. What's on your mind. DP first time long time. 510 185. Yeah. Back the motor point. I think if you go back to Bill Walton's ultimate Maurice Lucas. There's a power forward gritty and getty. Okay. All right. I won't argue with that. Certainly wouldn't argue that with Maurice Lucas by the way. One of the true tough guys. Everybody was afraid of Maurice Lucas back in the day.

Scotty Sheffler is an overwhelming favorite. Plus 435 for Scotty Sheffler. Next is Rory McRoy at plus 1475. Then Colin Warkawa and then C. Wu Kim and then Tommy Fleetwood. Scotty Sheffler, who's had a hard time getting off to good starts. He has good finishes but he is an overwhelming favorite. Mark and South Carolina. Good morning Mark. What's on your mind today. Good morning then. Thank you for taking my call. I just would like to everyone to slow down on the fan breaking the record. As a fan year show, we all want you guys to win a sports Emmy. Either this year or next. And if you guys happen to win a sports Emmy,

6:09we don't want people calling in saying, oh, that's not big. Don't buy a costus. Or they get grown. They're rising. Or they got a poly on the team. That's not fair. We want to celebrate victories and we want to celebrate wins. And it's harder to not score 83. That is the score 83. So that should be again, like you've been saying all morning. Not be taken away from what happened. That's what I've been saying. It's still 83. You can say it's a young wizard's team. You could question the coaching philosophy with Eric Spolstra leaving him in the game. Should he have taken himself out in respect to Kobe Bryant. It's just a game. I mean, he had a game. A game for the ages. Kobe is not defined by 81. Kobe is so much more than that. This might be what BAM out of bio is defined by. That he's the guy who put up 83 and dates Asia Wilson. And he's had a really good career. But not a really good scoring career.

7:10I think that's what bothers people. If Luca did this or Devon Booker. I mean, you could run down the list of players. You'd be like, okay. All right. But the fact that it's BAM out of bio. And you probably can't recall any offensive highlight that he's ever had. He's just a really good player. Really good player. Isn't it weird? Of all the jerseys when the Danets were at the Miami Heat. And they said, hey, do you want an autographed jersey? And I said, yeah, we'll take BAM out of bio. And so he signed the jersey. I've had it hanging out there with Tyler. Taken phone calls. And it's been in that room there. Love the sudden. It's like, Seaton's got it right by him. Yes. The heat team doctor is an awesome dude. Really, really good guy. He came through a lot of that stuff. Yeah. He's the one that said, who do you want?

8:10Yeah. Danets said, we'll take BAM out of bio. Yeah, he's good. Yeah, Paul. And if you were to ask a year ago, hey, a heat player is going to set a scoring record to score over 70. You to pick Tyler Hero in this NBA. Tyler's a shooter. He's had a bunch of 40, maybe a couple of 50 point games. What do you think the over under will be for BAM out of bio's next game? They play against Milwaukee. We shouldn't be able to find the over under. See if Dylan can work on that. I'm going to say 22 and a half. I'm going to set it at 22 and a half. We'll try to find that. Yeah, Paul. So you're ignoring the game because he averages 22.1 per game. Or no, he has a little less than that. He averages, I'm sorry, 17 and a half per game. Yeah. So you're going a little higher. Yeah. You know, I think there'll be just maybe a little kick there.

9:11Maybe you'll feel like he needs to score a little bit more. What if he sits out and just says? I feel like you got to give him the night off. Yeah. I feel like you got to give him the night off. That would be bad. That'd be bad. Nothing more NBA than that. Really? Hey, let's go out there and cheer BAM out of, wait, load management? Yes, Todd. You have to score at least what the next game? You have to score 83 for people not to say what kind of weird fluke. Which obviously scoring 80 points is a crazy thing to do. Well, check and see what Wilt did after that game. Check what Kobe did after his 81 point performance. They probably didn't go crazy. Although Wilt probably had 50. I took it easy. I only had 50 tonight. And I had 83 and a half too on that. Just missed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The over.

10:11Yes, Marvin. What was the casual night for Wilt Chamberlain that season at the average 50 and he had the 100 point game during that season? What's the cat? What's the low? Like, man, I don't get it. I'm guessing a casual nights 50. That's his average. Like, if he had a bad game, he might have had 40. Yeah, but he's playing against plumbers and electricians. Yeah. Essentially, the whole thing was they threw it down low and he just held his hands up, his arms up, and then turned and put it into the basket and he did that 50 times. The Nick's senders in that game. I don't think it's Hall of Fame worthy. Like, if we want to look at rosters here, just saying just without saying. Yeah, Paul. Kobe Bryant had 81 in late April of 06. Oh, sorry, late January of 06. But that month he was on a heater. He had 48, 50, 45, 41, 51 in some of the games leading up to it. Yes. He was on an absolute heater. He had 62 of the months before.

11:12So it was not an anomaly. He goes 81, but then over the next week he went 30, 39, 40. Cooled off a bit. Yes, Todd. I'm seeing Wilt 58, Kobe 28 in their games after their 181. I'm trying to see other stories on that, but that's what I've seen so far. Okay. A couple more phone calls. Ronda in Texas. Hi, Ronda. What's on your mind? Good morning, Dan. Thank you. I love your show. Just wanted to say I appreciate the J. Jack's interview this morning. There was a lot of pressure on BAM last night, score more than 81 points, including making each of those free throw shots. And I'm thinking about today's rates that miss free throw shots. So BAM made those shots under extreme pressure. You scored 83 points. And he deserves all the credit. And the best part of the game came after the game when BAM searched out his mom and they exchanged the warmest hugs ever.

12:14So congratulations to BAM's proud mom, too. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Ronda. Thank you for the phone call. Brandon in Utah. Hi, Brandon. Hey, Dan. This is a third time, long time. Just wanted to say, you know, this is another opportunity to not only congratulate BAM, but also to Wilk Chamberlain. You know, people talk about him as if he didn't exist. We often overlook everything he did due to who he played against. But if you look at the delta between Wilk and all the rest of the players of his era, especially during that 50 point average season, he surpassed everyone in terms of compared to people of his own era. So I think we can look at him and within his own time and just really give him the credit that he deserves. And this is another, you know, chance to do that. Thank you. Yeah, we just don't do it because we look at it. It was a different era. But we don't do that to Babe Ruth.

13:16There was no integration when Babe was doing what he was doing. But we still honor those numbers with Wilk. It's just this statistical side show of, oh, okay. They don't even know how many shots he blocked in games. You have modern day. There are games where people who were there said that Wilk blocked over 20 shots. We think if you block four or five shots in a game, you can be defensive player of the year. Wilk was blocking, you know, upwards of 10 to 15, probably a night. Yes, Marvin. Before Michael Jordan was Wilk Chamberlain regarded as the greatest player ever? No, Bill Russell. Yeah. See, that's another reason, like his main adversary won 11 titles on his watch. I think that's the big thing because we talk about championships with NBA players. We don't know how many World Series Babe Ruth has because baseball is a number scheme. Yeah, but it's about the individual. Correct.

14:16Yes. Yes. But it's, you know, why isn't Bill Russell the greatest player of all time if it's just about championships? Because we do that with Michael and LeBron where LeBron statistically has had a better career than Mike. But Mike won six titles, didn't lose anything. Wilk Chamberlain statistically far more dominating the Bill Russell, the Bill Russell 111 titles. We kind of pick and choose. Look, when I saw Wilk play, he was a defensive guy, rebounding in defense. So I wasn't a score and I got to see him in Cincinnati. And the Royals actually beat the Lakers, but he was there to rebound and play defense because he knew they had really good offensive team. And went on to win 33 in a row and won an NBA championship. Yes, Paul. I went back and looked when Cal Ripken, Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive game record. I think that was 95. I found three or four articles that called for Cal Ripken after tying the record to sit the next game.

15:20So they'd be tied forever to protect Lou Gehrig's place in history. And these are from one was from a Baltimore columnist. Also, a lot of people may not realize that Lou Gehrig did this when he was sick. He had this consecutive streak, 2,130, and he was sick at the time when he was doing it at the end of his career. And I think that maybe people look at that and say he would have had a longer streak. But I still look at what Cal did and it's remarkable. I mean, nobody will ever come close to that because load management, it's accepted. Cal played. You're supposed to play. He went out there every night, same with Lou Gehrig. But what we're talking about today with Bam and Colby is that Cal Ripken should have stopped at, you know, 1306 to not pass Everett Scott at second place. Exactly.

16:20That's the difference. Hold on a minute. I mean, Everett did that back in the 1910s, 1920s. Stop at 1307 so you guys are tied. I would want, now I held the record for sports centers over 2000. I never thought, oh, is somebody going to stop and not surpass me at sports center? I mean, in my little small world. You didn't ever think of it. No. Are you never thought of it? No. I didn't think anybody would stay there long enough to put up 2000. And Linda Cohen blew by that. Sorry. Yes, Paul. You wanted her to tap out after the one she tied you. Yeah. It'd been nice if she said I'm not going to do sports center. I might have the record for the 11 o'clock sports center. Checking technically Lou Gehrig of sports centers. Thank you. She's Cal Ripken.

17:20Yeah. She should have stopped at a respect for me. Why am I here, DP? Yes. Take that. All right. Let's take a break. Diner Racini. She's a, she's an insider.

You know who else was? Jalen Rose. He doesn't have to hear about guarding Kobe and Kobe getting 81. And that great commercial that they did when Kobe said that he would take 81 olives in his martini. I don't know who the Jalen Rose of the Wizards was last night. I don't know who was going to own up to guarding or trying to guard Bam out of bio, Marvin. I don't know, but the issue is there was nobody that famous like Chris Bosch played for the Raptors and Jalen Rose played for the Raptors.

22:28There was guys that we knew we don't know anybody on this Wizards scene. Diana Racini has been very busy this morning, senior NFL insider for the Athletic and co-hosted the Athletic Scoop City podcast with Chase Daniel. What can you tell us today that we didn't know yesterday about this Max Crosby situation? Well, we're still learning lots of facts as this has been really the biggest story in sports because you just don't see this a lot. And from what I gathered over the last 12 hours, we'll call it 14 hours now. Max Crosby was in Baltimore for a physical, right? The Baltimore Ravens had done their research, they've done their work on his medicals. All teams do that. In fact, other teams that were trying to trade for Max had conversations with his surgeon. They had conversations with the Raiders doctors to basically try to get an idea of where Max his knee was at. So Baltimore knew the exact timeline of where Max was at in terms of the return and the rehab process.

23:31Six months appears to be kind of like the timeline of when he could be a full go. And so when he went in for his physical from what I've learned, things just seemed really off in the building all day. That something wasn't right. And he had his physical and the Ravens doctors looked at the MRI and then they had four or five independent doctors take a look at it as well. And together they made the decision that this trade was not worth it based on what they discovered in his knee. And I think the way they view it is in the short term, Max would be fine. For 27, he would have been okay. The long term was their hang up and that was the problem. And that's when they made the decision and they sat Max Crosby down in their offices and said, look, thank you for flying out here. Thank you for saying your farewell goodbye. Not sure if we're going to, you know, we're doing the right thing here, but we believe we are.

24:32And this trade is off the table. So now Max is back in the facility today. He's under contract with the Raiders. He's doing what he does all the time, which is workout and try to get that knee ready to go. And I think there's a good chance that Max Crosby is a Raider for 2027. I just wonder if there was buyer remorse with this Diana, where the Ravens don't give up draft picks. They don't draft in the top 15. Now all of a sudden you're giving up two. Maybe you realize, you know, we could get trade Hendrickson and not give up all of this. You know, I don't mean to be cynical about the medical state here. You're not being cynical. This thing stinks. What are you talking about? You're spot on. There's 100% shading is going down right now. And the reason why I say that so firmly is because I've had so many conversations with people around football who understand where Max is at with his knee. Nothing was surprising.

25:33And this trade wasn't really about what Max was going to be able to do for the Baltimore Ravens in 2030, 2029, right? This is about 2027. So let's just say they look at this MRI and the knee is a disaster compared to the way you projected it to be. Because teams do do that too. I had a general manager this morning explaining to me just going through their process of what they do. And team doctors do this. They go, okay, this is what the knee looks like. This is what we're giving it in terms of length when it will become a problem when this will bubble up. And the Baltimore Ravens had that information. And for them, they didn't feel that this knee would hold up for the long term. So I just think with the Trey Hendrickson situation out there and him holding off waiting for the numbers that he was looking for, I think the Baltimore Ravens who already did a move that they don't normally do. You've got to have a certain type of philosophy and stomach to give away two first round picks for a soon to be 29-year-old pass rusher.

26:36And I think after the last few days they sat there and go, you know what? We lost eight players to the New York Giants. We lost Tyler Lindorbaum like we need more. And they made the decision to go aggressive. And they were able to secure Trey Hendrickson last night. Feels like a convenient failed physical to me. Is that a nice way of putting it? Yeah, I think I think there was definitely things that they saw on the MRI that they weren't thrilled about. But I think most around the league are looking at what the Ravens just did. They're certainly frowning upon it. Everyone's got strong opinions about it. I don't really think it's going to change anything. It doesn't mean that no one's going to do business with the Baltimore Ravens if next year Lamar Jackson says he wants out. You know, I don't think that's going to change. People are still going to deal with them. But look, this stuff happens. You know, and they have every right because this was all a hypothetical trade essentially, right? Because it really doesn't become official until four o'clock today.

27:36Anyways. Okay. They got the right to do it. And they did it. Could the Cowboys rescind the offer to Rashan Gary and engage re-engage with the Raiders for Max Crosby if they do it before four o'clock today? Yeah. They absolutely can. Because nothing is official yet. But most organizations don't want to do business that way. Most don't want to have the kickback that we're seeing right now around Baltimore. And look, they can't come out and say anything. I think they a lot of people are wanting. Why aren't they putting on a statement? Why aren't they talking to one of us to say here's what happened? According to them, they can't speak on medical right now. Max Crosby was never their player. He was never a Baltimore Raven. He was just there to go through the process of the physical before they signed the paperwork and made this thing official. Now Vegas is sitting there. And of course, they're hoping teams call. But from what I understand, they're not moving off the two first round asking price that they have.

28:37Like they're sticking with that. And I see the way this is going to play out. At least this is how I think it will go. I think Max will be, you know, play out the 27 year. He's only 29. And I bet you were doing this story next year. We're just going to run this whole thing back. Max's reaction to this of being told face to face that go back to the Raiders when he thought he was done with the Raiders. Well, just think about what that's like for him and his family. You say you're goodbye. You do the messaging. You've already moved on mentally from playing with the Raiders, which I don't believe was easy for him either. I know it didn't work out well at the end of the season. He obviously had issues with the way they managed him in regard to his injury. He wanted to continue playing. He didn't want to be shut down. They of course didn't want him to be out on the field because of the knee. But also they wanted to secure this number one overall pick, which they got. So now look, we've all we've all watched Max Crosby.

29:39He shares so much of his life on social media. We see him in a lot of interviews. I don't think this is somebody who is going to just be so frustrated and angry by the situation. And declare that he's not going to play for the Raiders. This is someone that's just going to probably be. I had one person in football reach out over text of like I am frightened for whoever's got to line up against Max Crosby this season. Like the chip he's going to have on a shoulder to shove it back to the Baltimore Ravens. But also I think there's probably just embarrassment here. But you know, I can't believe I just went through all this. I just got on a jet. I flew to Baltimore. My family spent the day with the team. It just doesn't it doesn't work out. So I when did they engage with tray Hendricks and do you think that this pretty quick turnaround yesterday? They had conversations with tray Hendricks and over the phone. They spoke with him because you know how now the teams can have these conversations with three agents.

30:39Before or after Max Crosby decision. I don't know when they and I know they inform Max leader in the afternoon because I was talking to some people in the building when I started to get text that something was going on. Which by the way, like you want to trust your instincts in these situations. That was not what I thought that was. Like when I heard something was going on, you know, I'm thinking Lamar's deal like I'm. But soon as the raiders put out the statement. I knew of my physical. Oh my God you know and and fortunately be able to to report that. But you don't. Tell the Las Vegas raiders. The trade is off for Max Crosby, unless you got a backup plan. I'm going to put it that way you're not doing that. It's a hard decision you're taking heat your your possibly. affecting the relationship with John Spitech there, you know, in readers in terms of doing deals with them.

31:39Again, there's a lot that comes with that decision, but I think in the end, Erick DeCosta looked at the situation, was like, I'm not willing to do this. I can't go along with this. And in the end, they made the call. Talking to Diana Rossini, Senior NFL Insider for the Athletic Co-host of the Athletic Scoop City, podcast with Chase Daniel. Yeah, I feel bad for the Raiders because they had a whole different mindset of we're moving on from Max, and we're going to move on from this contract, and they spent money, and they started to build their team as if they needed a couple of years before they're going to be, you know, respectable, competitive. And now, all of a sudden, you got a guy who's great, but you know, if you trade him, you're probably not going to get what you thought you were going to get. I'm actually rooting for the Raiders to maybe get this right one day, and I thought that they were headed in that direction, and then all of a sudden, I mean, if the consolation prizes,

32:43you get Max Crosby back, but you need him now. Maybe in two years, you need a Max Crosby kind of player, but you don't need Max now at that price with this team. And I know you're looking at the moves, and you're coming up with that philosophy of this is what their plan is that they're just rebuilding, but that's the truth. That's how they've been speaking to free agents and to agents about where they're at. This isn't a team that's going all in for right now to try to win a Super Bowl, like we've seen around the league. This is a team that knows they're trying to rebuild, they're trying to rebuild it the right way, and they've got the money, and they've got the picks to do it. So, look, is it awkward? Probably. I mean, I give credit to Max Crosby for driving into the facility today, right? To just go back to work, and I guess I'm a reader. I mean, I think he had a going away party based on his social media. He's there right now in the building. He's in the building working out, like going through rehab as a reader. And by the way, in credit to him too,

33:48just six-year anniversary of his sobriety is today. By the way, this is what's in me like a comb in his. I got way too much on my hand on his social media. But first of all, just shout out to him. Six years clean and obviously has had a tremendous career, but now just head down back to work. He is the model leader you want on your team. So, I do think there will be organizations that are having conversations right now going, all right, we need to pass Russia. Who's out there? There's not that many great ones left. You've got Grenard in Minnesota. The teams are poking around on you've got the Philadelphia Eagles who said a lot more goodbyes than Hallows lately. You know that how he's got something up his sleeve. They're engaging in some of those talks, but maybe there will be some shift to Max Crosby, but you know, I think this is going to be more of a syndrome where we see him in a Raiders uniform. Great stuff. Are the kids in school? This, look, Mikey's biting Joey in the middle of all this. And I don't mean like a little like,

34:52you know, like a little fake bite. It was deep teeth in the arm. Scream on my guys. Not now. My husband's like, what do you want me to do? I'm like something. Something. This is the biggest story in sports. I was doing all my tweeting last night on my back porch, just like a weird, I was just thinking myself, I sometimes I wish I could just video this for my kids to see one day of like, look what you did to me. Look how you aged me. You know, Shefty doesn't have to deal with this. Glazer doesn't have to deal with this. I think they all have their own things at home. Everyone's got family, everyone's got things. No one's got Mikey and Joey though. I can tell you I know. No, there you go. I know you're busy. Thanks for taking time. Appreciate you having me. Diana Rossini. Now you can hear her on the athletic podcast scoop city with Chase Daniel. You imagine Max Crosby goes back does the swipe card work, you know, is somebody in your

35:54parking spot? That's wild. Also earlier the Ravens restructured Lamar Jackson's contract that will free up $40 million for this year. Jeff and San Antonio. Hi, Jeff. What's on your mind today? Good morning, D.P. It's your fit me and buddy. First off, I've got some greeting players, Yokom Noa, Tony Allen. And then in my opinion, Clay is 67 points and three quarters way better than out of bio 83 there. And lastly, you that up to show the same, this is going to be a disaster for the Raiders. The Raiders are in a perfect position. They had one of the best off seasons they've had in like 20 years. And then with Cosby, we won six games last two years. So we'll be fine with it without them. We got picks. They had a great, you know, three agency. You saw the picks are getting Mendoza. So maybe minus a pick or something. Best case scenario. We get Cosby back and he helps with the rebuild. Yeah, but you know, the rebuild is a couple of years away. And as much as I'd loved to have Max Cosby, I've said before he's one of my favorite players to watch because he never

36:58stomps. But you were getting two first round picks. And that's how you build. Max comes back, but Max is for a team that like the Ravens ready to win now. Yeah, Paul. I've got Cosby's contract in front of me. He signed it about a year and a half ago. For 2026, he will make $35 million. For 2027, he'll make $29 million. They paid a lot up front. He's relatively affordable as of right now. Maybe not in a football sense, but financially. And after the 2027 season, they owe him nothing. I will agree. Joe Kim Noah, Gritty and Guddy. And see as a player. Sure. Daniel and California. Hey, Daniel. I had a question with all the controversy around Wilk Chamberlain would be considered a Gritty and Gritty player in current air. No, because Wilk was one of the most talented athletic people to walk the planet. He ran track, did volleyball, played for the globe trotters, dominated basketball. No, no, he wouldn't be a

38:04Gritty gutty guy. Jim and Oregon. Hi, Jim. What's on your mind? I was just going to, well, first off, five nine, about 200 pounds. I saw Wilk play his last game in Portland. He was 36 years of age. He had 17 points, 31 to rebound, 11 assists. And depending on which newspaper you want to listen to, he had either six, eight or nine blocks. Yeah. Yeah. You know, they didn't keep those stats. And same with Bill Russell. Me, Bill Russell would have had more block shots than Wilk Chamberlain probably. But I mean, there were games when these guys would have 15 to 20 block shots. Take a break. Last call for phone calls, what we learned, what's in store tomorrow. And final results of the poll question back after this. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com. And within the I

I'd love to know when the Ravens reached out to Tray Hendrixen's attorney or

42:18agent. You got Max Crosby right in front of you and all of a sudden you say to his face, this isn't going to work out. Thank you. We have some nice parting gifts and then Tray Hendrixen was announced a couple hours ago. It's nice to have options. I don't think you make that move in a vacuum. I think you make that move knowing that you have something in the on-deck circle. Yeah, Seaton. I wonder if at any point there's going to be maybe some recourse from the NFL PA on this. Paulie and I have talked about it. I just don't know how you can prove anything. If you don't like what you see, if you look at the X-rays, the MRI with his knee, I just don't know if you can say, hey, we're turning down this deal. We feel nervous about it. I think the Ravens got what they really wanted and that is they got an edge rusher and they didn't have to give up their draft picks. It's a smarter move, I think, and if you factor in Max Crosby's knee, then it's a

43:20no-brainer to me. It just, it feels like, well, you know, Diner Racini said, no, there is something shady about this. Yeah, Paulie. I'm curious how one fails a physical. Is it like 69% to 70% and 70% is a pass or is it in the eye that beholder? Was there new information? I know the Ravens can't give out any Max Crosby information, but Max Crosby could tell us or someone else, what were you told as for what new information that they didn't get from the Raiders because they would have gotten it from the Raiders? And I'm wondering if you get X-rays. I don't know how this works, so I'm just throwing it out there. If I'm going to trade for Max Crosby, I'm going to give you two first round picks. Can you send me his medicals? Can Max sign off on you sending the medicals here? So we can start to get ahead of this because I don't want to wait until you get there and then look at your knee. I want to know, let's see what it looks like when you had surgery in January and then

44:22we could get ahead of this and then we're going to do our own medical evaluation. This feels like something is there. Yeah, Paul. I think the Ravens got caught up in the free agent fervor and they don't trade draft picks because they draft really well historically, the Ravens. And they saw the bills making a big splash and we're going to make a big splash. And then they said, what did we give up? Because they got critiqued a little bit for giving up a lot for an injured 28-year-old. And it could be convenient. But DJ Moore doesn't scare me if I'm bolder more. What scares me is I lost eight players. You lost your center. I mean, you lost player. You lost a tight end. I mean, this is you can't afford to give up those draft picks. And that's why I kept going, you've lost a lot of players. Now you get the restructured contract with Lamar. And then I can get Tray Hendrickson. He's not better than Max Crosby. But he makes more sense than Max Crosby does. And I get to keep my draft picks. Yes, Marvin. How much did the

45:26Super Bowl odds change now that they have Tray instead of Max? I don't think it changed too much. I was looking this morning, but this is before they went when they lost Max Crosby. I think they went, I mean, a slight dip, but I don't have the exact numbers here. But now getting Tray Hendrickson, they may have gone back up where they're a top five Super Bowl favorite. David in Indiana. Hi, David. What's on your mind? Hey, Dan. Thanks for taking my call. I just want to say that Todd is my role model. And I try and model all my humor after Todd. That being said, everyone at work finds me annoying. But I have a question for Todd. Can we get one dining moment sometime this week? Well, we have to wait until the end of March Madness, don't we, for one dining moment? Or do you want to hear last year's version of one dining moment? We can work on that,

46:27David. You know, how about Meet Friday? We'll do one dining moment. One dining moment. One episode. Frank in Connecticut. Hi, Frank. What's on your mind? And I'm going to try to make a perfect call like Chris and Syracuse. I have three things. First, two great guests today. Diana Rossini is amazing. She reminds me of every woman I grew up with in the hell's kitchen. One tough broad. Secondly, Marvin, I used to meet in the stop and shop parking lot all the time. But since he's making big money now, he's going to all food. And I miss him. And what's the third point? The third point is on March 1962, I was going to clean out my locker

47:27at Powell Memorial. And I saw my coach jacked on to you and I said, hey, coach, I've seen Wilts score at 100 points. He said, Riley, you couldn't score 100 points if I gave you the ball, the empty gym, and 48 minutes. That's how I remember it. Thank you, Frank. Powell Memorial, where Lou Alcindor went to school. Jeremiah in Colorado. Hey, Jeremiah. Hey, Dan. First time long time. Six, two, three, ten. Thank you. I wanted to give you a greedy and gutty player about Quincy AC. Quincy AC. Was he Iowa? Or no, was he Baylor or Iowa? I believe Baylor. Okay. Oh, here are the Ravens odds. Now, this is before they got tray Hendrickson. It was the Rams

48:32plus 750, Seahawks plus 900. The Ravens are now plus 950. They were plus 900. They were tied for the second best odds. I'm going to guess they're probably back down to plus 900 after the tray Hendrickson move. AC Earl went to Baylor, Marvin. Quincy. Quincy. I'm thinking AC Earl. Iowa? Yeah. This day in sports history, Paul. I just got a couple for you. Randy. This is a good one. 1979 hockey player Randy Holt of the LA Kings. He was penalized nine times for 67 minutes in the first period of a game against the Philadelphia Flyers. 67 minutes in the first period. And 1990 Jennifer Capriotti at only 13 years old played her first professional tennis match. First basketball game was played on this day, 1892. And the final score was five to one. The only basket scored by the instructors was the famous football coach Amos Alonzo Stagg. He was a member

49:38of the Springfield College faculty ran off the score. Todd, what did I learn today? We're in the process of learning. If some were upset that Bam got 83 because felt contrived or because he surpassed Kobe's 81. Thanks for joining us today for the backroom guys. Fritzy, Seaton, Marv, Paulie yours truly.
