They're the official lawn care treatment provider of the PJ Tour so they know what it takes to get golf course quality lawns. So you're saying we could host a tournament out back? Yeah, I guess we can. Get your own golf course quality lawn at TrueGreen.com. TrueGreen.com. Let the pros handle the lawn. Just don't be surprised when golfers show up. I can't tell you how many times I spill something on my shirt right before walking out the door. And it's always while I'm wearing a white shirt too. And somehow that's the exact moment I realize I'm out of staying removed. And I don't have another clean shirt to change into unpredictable moments like that are part of everyday life.

Well, it was eight days after the anniversary of Wilk Chamberlain's 100 points in a game that nobody saw on TV. There were eyewitnesses and radio witnesses. And last night with Bam out of bioscoring 83, I couldn't find the game. And I think late in the game, Peacock did bring that game in so you could see the final seconds. But Bam out of bioscores 83. And you know, it's, I'm not surprised somebody has scored that many points because we brought it up numerous times. Somebody's going to get there with the volume of threes.

3:02Somebody's going to get there. And we've had a couple of players getting over 70. If you said, hey, who's the guy who's going to break the record? I would have said, no, I would say Kobe's record. Wilts is not going to be broken probably in our lifetime. And another lifetime. I would have thought Devon Booker, maybe you would have Luca. I mean, you got to have high volume guys. You got to have guys who can shoot threes. But Bam, an underrated superstar, his previous high was 43. And I think he had 41 and a half time. But towards the end, they let him shoot. He had a lot of threes. He took 22 threes. And he's not a good shooter. But went to the free throw line and ended up with 83. Here's the call when he surpassed Kobe Bryant's 81 points last night. And quickly in the band, he's got space. Head down, spins, puts it up.

4:02And Bam's going to the line again. Bam out of bio is a complete monster. And really get the ball into bands have the right way. Only Wilts Chamberlain has more points in an NBA game. An association history than Bam out of bio who has 82. That's Jason Jackson with the call. He'll join us next hour about the honor of calling the second highest individual scoring performance. In league history. So 83. He went 20 of 43 from the floor. He shot 22 threes. He made seven. But go into the free throw line. That's an all time record. 36 of 43. Wilts had 28 made free throws. I think he was 28 of 32. But you know, you're looking at that many free throws. And you throw in 20 some field goals.

5:04You're going to put up a big number there. Dwight Howard had the previous free throw attempts record at 39. And that was back in 2012 and also 2013. But congrats. Pretty incredible night. Your plan against the Wizards, which that helps. But towards the end, it felt like maybe the strategy was, let's just let him go for the record. And that's exactly what his coach did. The Wizards were trying to foul other people to keep him away from getting the record against them. That BAM out of bio. Now I don't know if because we didn't get to see it. Now we saw highlights. But you know, Wilts was. Did he really score 100? That was in Hershey, Pennsylvania back in what 1962. And no video. There's pictures. But we're like. And I've said this before numerous times. We really don't welcome Wilts numbers. Like Babe Ruth, we do.

6:04Wilts averaged 50 points in a season. We're like, yeah, but who was he playing against? Well, we can say that about Babe Ruth too in some regards. But we don't. We're like, yeah, the Babe. But with Wilts, it's like these numbers don't really matter. They're like, what they didn't, you know, those aren't real. You didn't play against real guys. Check his numbers when he played against Bill Russell. I think he had 55 rebounds in one game against him. Yes, Mark. But you could say that about Bam. He's playing against the Wizards. Right. Don't really count. Oh, yeah. And then you go back to Kobe's 81. And Kobe did that on a game in January. But he said, you know, we were down big at halftime. And so we had to stay in the game. You know, that's the thing. Wilts, I think one by 169 to 137 or something like there. There was a blowout there. And even last night with Bam out of bio, you know,

7:04you're winning by 25 points. But Kobe said, hey, I had to stay in there. In fact, let's go back to, do we have that Marvin? Do we have Kobe yet? What Marvin? We got him. Okay. Now, you did both of these, but if I said you could only have one on your resume, you could get the 80-81 or you could get the 60 in your last game. You have to pick between those two. You only get one. Oh, man. Uh-uh. I probably grow at the 81 because we're like one game out of making the playoffs. That year, so we needed, literally needed every single game. To get into the postseason. So if we had dropped that one, I think we would have been in a serious jeopardy of missing the playoffs that year. So I'll go with the 81. Reggie Miller and I got into a heated discussion. Like he kept saying, you're going to end your career with 60 and then he put exclamation points on his text message.

8:06And I said, but 81 exclamation points. That's, come on. 81 and Reg goes, no, 60 on your last game. I'm just, you know, I'm enjoying the strategy. I actually have that big. That's pretty cool. So that's a Kobe after his 81 point performance. Reggie and I still argue about that because I'm like, man, I got a, you know, now that BAM is surpassed Kobe, then I might go, well, all right, I'll take 60 in my final regular season game, final game that I ever played. All right, we'll come up with a poll question. Play of the day, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming. The Max Crosby trade reversed. And I don't think I can overstate how devastating I think this is for the Raiders. They were going to get two first round draft picks one this year, one next year. Plus their philosophy and free agency probably was, you know, banking on the fact they were getting rid of Max Crosby and his contract and going to the Ravens.

9:06So they were had a different philosophy here. Who they were going after, how much money they were going to spend. But the Raven said, hey, didn't pass our physical. And we're sending him back. This has happened before. Now it's happened in other sports. Remember Carlos Correa with the Met's Mark Williams, the Hornets. He was going to go to the Lakers. But in the Ravens have done this before. Now these weren't big names. Ryan Grant in 2018 failed to physical. 2020 Michael Brockers had an agreement with the Ravens, but they were concerned about his left ankle. And that deal fell through as well. I'm just surprised that the Ravens said, oh, you know, upon further examination, you know, maybe there's long term damage in that knee because it was a torn meniscus. And then they said, because it's going to take time for that to heal, that was what was surprising.

10:06Now I'm sure the Raiders doctor said, you know, he's good to go. And then you trade him. And then the Ravens doctor said, no, we don't like, looks like there's more damage in there. So now the Ravens could be in the market for Trey Hendrickson. Now what do they do? And then the Raiders, are you going to get dollar for dollar for Max Crosby now? If he's damaged goods, I mean, this is devastating, I think, for the Raiders. Because Max Crosby is making over $30 million for this year and next year. Can you trade him, but what are you going to get in return? And I think that's the interesting part of this, that if he's viewed as damaged goods, then you're not going to get two first round draft picks. But Max Crosby headed back to the Raiders. Yes, Paulie. Well, we're right on cue, Dan. From Adam Schefter moments ago, the Ravens and Trey Hendrickson reached an agreement on a four year, $112 million contract.

11:09Just came through men to go from Adam Schefter. That's a pivot. Yeah, I thought this was going to happen. Diana Rossini, who's covering the NFL for the Athletics, she'll join us a little later on. Yeah, that one's devastating for the Raiders because it felt like, okay, we can move on. Max can go play for a team that can compete for a Super Bowl. We're not ready. We got a couple more years here. We can get our center. We got Mendoza. Get a couple more offensive lineman. Get a couple of wide receivers. We can be respectable this year. But now you have the Max Crosby. Now I have to probably walk back my words of the Raiders tanking if it's true that this knee injury was far more serious than what we're leading on. But Max Crosby did have surgery. I think he knew he had to have surgery, but it's a torn meniscus. You can play through that. He can.

12:10But that's where you had this falling out between him and the Raiders front office because he wanted to play those last two games. And then it felt like we're going to sit you down because the last thing we want to do is win another game. Now looking at that knee and I don't know how many knee surgeries he's had. But if they're saying that, you know, could be long term damage in there, then it doesn't sound right. But, you know, the Ravens have every right to be able to do it. It's like, yeah, we're bringing him in. And that change, look at free agency. It felt like a lot of dominoes fell after Max Crosby went to the Ravens. Yeah, Paul. I'd really love to know the timeline of this. Did the Ravens, when did they know they were going to move on from Crosby and when did they kick the tires on Hendrixson? Did they think maybe a buyer's remorse situation where, oh, we can get Hendrixson for the same price and not give up draft picks. I'm curious how the timeline played out in the past 24 hours with all that.

13:10I understand what the Ravens did. Makes more sense knowing the Ravens with their draft picks. They don't give up draft picks. Certainly one in the top 15. And you're going to get Trey Hendrixson. Okay, he's not Max Crosby. And you're going to bring him in. You're going to have to pay him. And it's a longer, you know, contract there. But you get to keep your draft picks. Yeah, see. Man, that is a tough situation for Max Crosby though now. I mean, his value has plummeted. Because I would lowball the Raiders. Now, now I give you a first and maybe I give you a third or something. If that. Now, I don't know if the Cowboys. See, I don't know how this works with Rashon Gary, who came over from Green Bay to Dallas. Now, it's not official yet. Could they then say, hey, you know what? We're going to rescind that trade. Like, it's not official yet. You're just agreeing to it to a trade. I don't think there's anything in writing. But can you until after like four o'clock today?

14:12Could they then go, hey, let's go after Max Crosby? I mean, if I'm Dallas, I would do that. If I thought Max Crosby was going to be healthy enough. But the fact that now the Ravens have put that out there. That, you know, he could have long term durability concerns. That's the language that I was given. Long-term durability concerns. All right. Seaton, pull question today. What are we going to go with first hour? I appreciate their concern on long-term, you know, their concerns about how he's going to hold up over the long term. Because that's one thing that NFL teams do is they really hold on to their players for a long time. Yeah. Are they worried about him in his 50s? He's not sure, because we're planning on cutting him after the third year. But now it looks more like a year to cut to save money. So that's a little too long-term for us. Yeah. We're concerned about how he's going to be walking in his 50s. Long-term durability here.

15:13What is long-term? Is it three years? Two years? Two and a half? Yeah. All right. So what's first hour pull question? I think you're going to find that out after the break. Oh! Okay. All righty. Paulie famous for the after the break pull question. Yeah. I got the dolphin symbol from him, which is the, looks like a dolphin jumping out of the water. Jumping over after the break. After the break. All right. We'll jump the shark after the break. We'll get to your phone calls coming up. Jason Jackson. He is the voice of the Miami Heat. He'll join us top and next hour. Diana Rossini, more on the Max Crosby situation. Our good buddy Ross Tucker has some thoughts on the Max Crosby situation as well. And Team USA. Team USA is going to be an anxious spectator watching Italy and Mexico coming up tonight. And there hopes of moving on in the WBC. We'll hinge on that.

By the way, before I get to Jay Jackson, there was some logic that crept in last night with the Washington Wizards broadcast. Their announcer Chris Miller suggested that the Miami Heat were prepared to take BAM out of bio out and out of respect for Kobe Bryant. That didn't happen, of course. And we welcome in Jason Jackson. What should we remember about this performance? That I had to make the call on free throws. I think that's the only thing that you should have to worry about, Daniel. Lovely flannel this morning, by the way, there in Maine. 80 degrees here in South Florida with my BAM T-shirt on.

21:17I think the thing that we have to do, and I'm not sure if you're willing to do this at this stage in life, Dan. We have to step back sometimes. Remember, we cover sports. It's just sports. It's fun. It was funky. It was weird. It was cool. And then we move on. We won another game. So the Miami Heat of one six in a row, moved out of the play in spot. That's all that really matters. The main thing is the main thing. It's winning. But for BAM, I think it's going to be one of the most memorable things in his life. Because he grew up in a single-wide trailer with a single mother in North Carolina dreaming about Colby Bryant. And had a really cool moment. It's a guy who has done everything right who doesn't really focus on scoring, who made his craft in this league as a defender and rebounder, who took the mantle from Alonzo Morning Dwayne Wade and Udhannis Haslam as a culture carrier for this organization.

22:19And has been to the finals twice and hasn't been able to stay at the mountaintop just yet in those areas. And then also takes on the responsibility of being the lead force in the community for organization. That part of it all feels good. This is one of the first, let's put air quote, great heat players, who I have been able, so I'm making about me now there, who I've been able to see from draft night to all the way through it. When I arrived here in 2004, Dwayne Wade was already a player. LeBron James came to Miami already was a player. And so this is, it's just fun for the fan base. Anything outside of that, it just kind of filters into this hater mode. We didn't have social media in 2006 when Colby went for 81. So I'm not sure the response probably would have had its level of in it as well. There's literally no video. We have a sheet of paper with 100 on it for Will.

23:21I'm sure old Nick's fans are still trying to wonder what happened to them that night. Let me just say this. Can I do a good friend Chris Miller? No, too bad good friend Chris Miller for a moment. I will fill a buster, sir. I will say this. What were you pressing full court and triple teaming the man for in the second half of the fourth court? It created what probably you're not loving as the basketball purist that I know is the proud son of Mason Ohio is presenting right now. Well, no, I keep telling everybody it's still 83. It's still at the end of the day, 10 years, 20 years and still 83. I did think about this. How do you think Colby, if he were still with us, would have viewed that performance last night. The way there was intentionally fouling, keeping him in the game, the games out of reach. How do you think Colby would have viewed that performance? Colby had a level of rinker that would have possibly a finger wagged it.

24:24But I think Colby would have liked bam and bam's game overall from a night in night out basis. So there might have been a little love there. You know, the gold medal club from Team USA, you never know how those things go. As I've gotten older, Dan, I will turn 53 years as winter turns to spring. I've decided that I am in search of joy all of the time, all of the time. So when you're calling a game like this, obviously you can't anticipate on a Tuesday night against the Wizards. That's something unique and special is going to occur. So I say thank you, Idris, bam out of bio. And by the way, bam hates when you use this given name, but I don't get to say it enough. So I thought I thought out for you. Okay. Did you talk to Spolster about his philosophy down the stretch when he realized that he had a chance to surpass Colby? I am on the set live at about 200 yards away when that happens, Dan. But it was asked of him and it was aired on Heat Live last night.

25:27And I think he gave the most beautiful answer in the sense that for that guy, for what he's meant for nearly a decade to the head coach and to the franchise, for those that don't watch Miami, he basketball every single night, you're not going to connect with this fiber, right? This is about a guy that took the torch from a guy who played for 20 years in Udonis, Haslam, and the best player in history in Dwayne Wade and put the entire organization and what it means and the heat culture that makes everybody roll their eyes and all of that on his shoulders. He went to Kentucky just like the president of the organization Pat Riley, like all of it and does a beautiful job with it. It is own way. You know, he's not necessarily a big in your face, Ra Ra Barker, but the way that he goes about his craft as a world class defender, a outstanding, if not elite rebounder, and a guy who's developed, you've watched it over nine seasons, developed his game into the modern big man, got to go out and knock it down from 23 feet dynamic.

26:29Man, when he came out of Kentucky, there was no way I would have thought there would be a three point shooter, but has become super serviceable. And does whatever is asked of him. I think this is the thing that's most warming about it. He thinks about scoring least. From the dribble handoff to the actual assist, he's setting up other guys offensively to score. And so it's just, I'm leaving it as what I assume is a one off. Like I was, okay, but your score was fantastic. That was real basketball. That was just him lighting guys up. And then when he got to halftime and already had his career high plus, it was wild to where it could go. Okay. Be in the basketball purist that you are. Take yourself out of, take your mind. We need headphones off and look at that in the last five minutes of the game. Right. Would you have a problem? Because you're the anomaly. Like you're all in. You saw history. You saw something great.

27:30The reaction I've gotten this morning is people are really upset. But I think part of that has to do with Kobe. Let's just look at the actual basketball style that was played in the last five minutes or so. Yeah. I probably, if I was calling it on the other side, I would have been snarky-ish with a hint of, but it's still competition. You got to try to stop him. You know, so that's where I always get. Because I do get nut. Like if it's a Celtics heat game and, you know, brown or tatums going nuts and they're still in and the game's gone and there's three minutes to go. I note that there are sometimes special moments. And if you're gunning for something, I'm fine with that. I tend to be, but I will. I'll load some some serious village of evendale snark will be coming out fully from my throat. No doubt. He's Jason Jackson, the voice of the Miami Heat.

28:30Greatest NBA performance you've ever witnessed, whether regular season, postseason. Did I have to be in person? Did I have to be in person before I was at the key? No. No. I will tell you, you know what, there's two of them. I'll tell you. When San Antonio closed out in 99, it was not a moment more than a performance. I'll give you the performance in a moment. Because Avery knocked down that last jumper baseline. If I'm remembering that correctly, the only reason I wouldn't remember is because you and Stuart Scott would push me out of the way and I couldn't do any sports air hits. So thank goodness for your spying news. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you news for giving me some time to talk about these things. I'm allegedly covered. You and Cindy Morrison. Did you see the reference coming down? Thank you for that. Focus on that. They are locking in. Lock it in.

29:30You have a bro. But the best performance I've ever seen was Game 6. The Bryan James in Boston. You win that game or it's not, you know, by the way, you got to win the game right because it doesn't allow for the the lore of him becoming a champion to even present itself in the appropriate way. But on the road, 40 plus, believe nine rebounds, handful of assists, that scowl looking underneath the brow that forever hangs on the walls in Miami. That thing was, that was just, it was literally like watching a lion walk the siren getting and eat everything along the way. But that was pretty astonishing, by the way. That has to, watching someone score that much and the willingness of the wizards to put that man on the line as much as they did. Again, it was, it was astonishing in a different way. And so I don't want to take anything from, from BAM, because BAM is giving us so much. Is the broadcast going to the basketball Hall of Fame?

30:34The dunk to pass the bronze handle game record. The BAM sandwich. The BAM sandwich was all first of all, always tasty. All right. You want some pump or nickel with that one. All right. And you might want to toast it. I didn't want to. Listen. And that was a thing after that. And then I will, I will admit this only to you in your illustrious audience here on peacock. And the great thing about being here with you is there's literally a peacock outside my window screaming all morning long. And then I'm on peacock with you. It's the best. But I started thinking about this and you've known me since I was a young, young adult. I lean towards fun and funny. It's what I, it just, it provides me with my sustenance. But after he passed LeBron, I was like, OK, now you're calling stuff that might play forever. Let's just kind of, let's get it right down the middle. And, and it was tough because I, I've listened back and,

31:36and the moment for 83 happened at the free throw line anyway. So it wasn't going to provide for this full, beautiful baritone that I've, that I've, that I've cherished and presented through bourbon and cigars. All these years, it didn't, it didn't have that full moment there. Yeah, you got to love that. The BAM slam, which I'm saying. You, I, oh, you, of course, but you, you got cheated. You needed a jumper. You needed a slam. You needed something not free throws, you know, when you're calling something like that. Let's make it about BAM. Let's not. Okay, my about. Yeah. That's all right. By the way, you know what you need on the wall back there, buddy? I want you to hop on Miami Heat Store dot com right now for 83 dollars. You can get yourself a authentic BAM jersey now. If we could see when you go back there by the bar area. I've seen. Yeah. Yeah. You already have a BAM. You already have it. Yeah. Oh, you have everything.

32:37What was I think? Yeah, autographed. Oh, oh, yeah. Come on. Yeah. You know what I got for you right there? Hot BAM. You was a BAM sandwich. Yeah. Yeah. I think it says from one score to another. Oh, I thought it says if you reach. I teach. That's what that said right there. See, glorious. Van, a white work out of you, by the way. Thank you, Satan. By the way, that whole story about me playing against Stuart Scott that was supposed to be in the documentary. It didn't make it in the documentary. Who had the audacity to come up? They wanted me to tell the story. And I said, no, let somebody else. And they said, oh, we're going to get Jason Jackson to tell the story. And then it doesn't even make it. No, I don't think I was in it at all, by the way. Booyah.

33:37I'm here to cheer you. My man. I'm here to boo you. All right. Yeah. Good luck with the next game. An encore performance. Listen, how about this in honor of BAM's number 13? $13 tickets to box heat tomorrow night in Paradise, where it will be 80 plus degrees and not a low of 36. Like you'll enjoy there, isn't it? Why? Why do you do this? No, no, no, no. I just. I just hear when you're crying when you're crying. Oh, baby. That's when I, that's when I sweat the weight goes big. It's that water. The bourbon brother.

Diana Racini's 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.

38:52Max 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. And six 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 often the building all day. That something wasn't 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.

39:55And 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. And 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 reader 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 to maybe you realize, you know, we could get trade Hendrickson and not give up all of this.

40:58You know, I don't need to be cynical about the medical. 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. And 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, you know, 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.

42:05So I just think with the tray 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 soon to be 29 year old pass rusher. And 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, Linda, Bob, 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 is 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. There's everyone's got strong opinions about it. I don't really think it's going to change anything.

43:05It 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 anyways. So you have 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 warning. 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.

44:06Max 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. So 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. Like 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.

45:07I 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 been, we've all watched Max Crosby. He 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, flew to Baltimore, my family, spent the day with the team. It just doesn't, it doesn't work out.

46:12When 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 free agents. Before 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 said, 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. When I heard something was going on, you know, I'm thinking Lamar's deal, like, I was barking up the wrong tree full disclosure there. But soon as the readers put out the statement, I knew it meet on my physical, oh my god, you know, and unfortunately we were able 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.

47:17Yeah. I'll put it that way. You're not doing that. It's a hard decision. You're taking heat. You're, you're possibly affecting the relationship with John spy tech there, you know, in readers in terms of doing deals with them again. There's a lot that comes with that decision, but I think in the end, Eric 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.

48:20But I just, I'm actually rooting for the Raiders to maybe get this right one day. And I thought that they were in headed in that direction and then all of a sudden, I mean, if the consolation prize is you get Max Crosby back, but you're up, need him now. You know, maybe in two years, you need a Max Crosby kind of player, but you don't need Max now at that price, but this team. 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?

49:21To just go back to work and I guess I'm a Raider. 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 Raider. And by the way, in credit to him too, just six-year anniversary of his sobriety is today. By the way, this is just me like a communist. I got way too much on my hand on his social media. 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. I do think there will be organizations that are having conversations right now going, all right. We need a past rusher. Who's out there? There's not that many great ones left. You've got Grinard and Minnesota, the teams are poking around on you. 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.

50:24But maybe there will be some shift to Max Crosby, but you know, I think this is going to be more of a scenario where we see him in a Raider 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, you 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. I was doing all my tweeting last night on my back porch. Just like a weird. I just think in myself. I sometimes I wish I could just video this for my kids to see one day. I'm like, look what you did to me. Look how you aged me. You know, Chefty doesn't have to deal with this. Glazer doesn't have to deal with this. I think they all have their own things that everyone's got family, everyone's got things. No one's got Mikey and Joey though. I can tell you. No, I don't. No, there you go.
