The Mets lost their series in Minnesota. The hour ended with news of an umpire hit by a line drive in the Mets game, highlighting the need for umpire batting helmets.

Pete Alonso's strong season and contract were discussed, drawing comparisons to Strawberry and Wright.

Jerry believes the Giants will draft Shedeur, a view Gio opposes. C-Lo's final update indicated a temporary hiccup cure. The Yankees had an unusual face-tagout play. C-Lo's hiccups returned. The Moment of the Day highlighted Eddie's 'penis' drops. The show concluded with Gio trying to avoid catching hiccups from the ongoing discussion and a debate about ear-cleaning candles.

Their analysis of Lil Wayne's improvisational genius ("the LeBron James of rap") captures why certain artists change the game forever. Speaking of basketball, their debate about the sport's greatest ball handlers becomes a thoughtful meditation on how we judge talent across generations, punctuated by Bosco's personal encounters with Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan.Perhaps most compelling is their exploration of body image and gym culture—noting with insightful irony that fitness spaces are paradoxically filled with the most insecure people.

En el Radar de hoy vemos uno de los bombazos deportivos de la temporada: Bill Chisholm, socio gerente de Symphony Technology Group, se hace con la franquicia verde por 6100 millones de dólares. Para entender la magnitud de esta venta, es la operación deportiva más costosa de la historia. Supera por 50 millones a la compra de Washington Commanders de la NFL hecha por el co-fundador de la firma de capital privado Apollo Global Management. Dentro de la NBA, son dos mil millones de dólares más que las adquisiciones que se hicieron en 2023, con las ventas de las franquicias Phoenix Suns y Dallas Mavericks. ¿Cuáles son los planes para los próximos años? El negocio es redondo para el que era hasta la semana pasada el dueño de los Celtics: Wyc Grousbeck compró el equipo en 2002 por solo 360 millones. Grousbeck supo aprovechar el mal momento que atravesaba Boston, ya que la franquicia llevaba sin levantar el anillo desde 1986. Además, con la retirada de Larry Bird y de otros jugadores capitales de los ochenta como Kevin McHale, Robert Parish o Dennis Johnson, los Celtics deambularon sin rumbo durante la década de los noventa, sin mucha suerte en el draft. ¿Qué piensa Grousbeck del nuevo dueño? ¿Y qué hay de la plantilla? Ya se sabe que estas decisiones pueden generar malestar en los equipos. Ya ha quedado claro que es un gran fan de la ciudad y del equipo pero a nadie se le escapa que la NBA vive el momento más boyante de su historia. De hecho, Adam Silver, comisionado de la liga, llegó a un acuerdo con la NBC-Comcas, Amazon Prime Video y Disney para la emisión de partidos en los próximos once años. La NBA recibirá de los tres 76.000 millones de dólares. Todos quieren un trozo de la tarta y parecen que no son conscientes de la bajada de audiencia que ha tenido la liga: las finales del año pasado las vieron 11 millones de espectadores, un 3% menos que el año anterior. Además, el comisionado sigue dándole vueltas al tema del All Star. La expectación con el partido de las estrellas es cada vez menor: en 2025 vieron el partido fue 4,7 millones de espectadores, la segunda peor audiencia de la historia. Los Boston Celtics aterrizaron en la NBA en el año 1946 pero no es hasta la década de los cincuenta cuando la franquicia empieza a hacerse un nombre con la llegada del entrenador y posterior ejecutivo Red Auerbach. En el año 56 draftea al que puede ser seguramente el jugador más influyente de la historia del equipo: Bill Russel, que junto a otros jugadores como Cousy, Havlicek o Sam y K.C Jones ganaron ocho anillos consecutivos, once desde el 57 hasta el 69.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageBasketball changed forever on March 26, 1979. What might have been just another NCAA championship game instead became the launching pad that transformed college basketball into the cultural phenomenon we now know as March Madness. Seth Davis' masterful book "When March Went Mad" chronicles this pivotal moment when Magic Johnson's Michigan State Spartans faced Larry Bird's undefeated Indiana State Sycamores.The magic of this matchup wasn't just about the basketball. It was about contrasting personalities that captured America's imagination—Magic with his megawatt smile and flashy play style versus Bird's stoic demeanor and precision shooting from "another zip code." Their presence on college basketball's biggest stage drew an astounding 35.1 million viewers and a 24.1 Nielsen rating, still the highest-rated basketball game ever broadcast, outperforming even Michael Jordan's most-watched NBA Finals game.What makes Davis' storytelling particularly captivating is how he goes beyond the box score to reveal the human drama. Through interviews with over 150 people connected to the game, we're transported behind the scenes to production meetings where NBC executives made the pivotal decision to focus on star power: "Nobody cares about Bob King. What about Magic and Bird?" That decision set the template for how basketball would be marketed for decades to come. (see below about Bob King and his good health outcome)While Michigan State won 75-64, the true victor was college basketball itself. This single game lit the fuse that would explode into the tournament obsession we know today, complete with office pools, bracket challenges, and buzzer-beater moments that unite fans across America each March. Whether you're a longtime basketball junkie or just curious about how cultural phenomena take shape, this book reveals how forty minutes of basketball forever changed American sports.Key Points from the Episode:• Basketball junkie David Kaiser shares personal memories of falling in love with March Madness as a child• The 1979 championship game drew an unprecedented 24.1 Nielsen rating with 35.1 million viewers• NBC executives made the crucial decision to focus coverage on Magic and Bird rather than other storylines• Behind-the-scenes look at how television production decisions shaped basketball broadcasting• Michigan State won 75-64, but the real winner was college basketball itself• No basketball game since—college or pro—has matched the ratings of this cultural touchstone• The decade following this game (1979-1989) represents the golden age of college basketballKeep fighting the good fight and enjoy the madness of March!Other resources: Side note on Bob King stepping down as head coach which may result in questions, here is my research"After leaving his coaching role, King continued as Athletic Director until 1980, after which he largely withdrew from public roles in athletics, likely due to his health. King passed away in 2004 at age 81, he is remembered for his basketball legacy at Indiana State and the University of New Mexico."Want to leave a review?
