Today we're headed to Boston, the home of Larry Bird, the Boondock Saints, and the only racists that can't pronounce a hard R. But we're not here for them, we're here for John Connolly. A classic case of corruption and ineptitude, and as always, a dumb nickname makes an appearance. You'll even hear the names of some future episodes as we make fun of all the aspects of this dummy's life. Enjoy!

Playoffs are heating up

On today's episode, Vinnie Goodwill of Yahoo Sports joins Bomani Jones to recap some of the NBA Semifinals games. They start off the show shocked with the New York Knicks completing their second comeback in a row vs the Boston Celtics (0:46) which makes Bo and Vinnie question if Jayson Tatum is that guy (7:19)? Sticking with the Knicks vs Celtics series, they wonder if Joe Mazzulla is limiting Tatum's game (12:57) and why is there no alternative to shooting only 3 pointers (15:53)? Switching to the Indiana Pacers vs Cleveland Cavaliers series, Bo says why the Pacers had to have that game with the Cavs dealing with injuries (37:31) and that Tyrese Haliburton does not miss clutch shots (40:20). They round out the show by asking if the Oklahoma City Thunder are truly 40+ points better than the Denver Nuggets (46:01) and reminiscing on the legendary career of Larry Bird (48:33). . . .

With the NFL draft next week, the show reminisced about past draft shows, including Jerry's interview with a before drafted Aaron Rodgers and Gio's Vikings-gear attendance in his youth, also discussing childhood NFL jerseys. C-Lo's update was plagued by significant hiccups, prompting caller remedies and a story of hospitalization due to persistent hiccups. Chris Russo shared a Robert Parrish anecdote about Larry Bird. Joe Schoen discussed the Giants' openness to drafting a QB if the value aligns. The hour concluded with news of a settled lawsuit where Artemi Panarin was accused of sexual assault by a Rangers employee.

Hour 1 Gio and Jerry filled in for a sick Boomer, discussing their health issues, including Jerry's penis camera scope story (with many 'penis' drops from Eddie). Gio predicted another bad year for the Giants and Jets in the upcoming NFL draft, stating Justin Fields "stinks" and neither team will draft Shedeur Sanders. C-Lo gave his first update, likely with hiccups. Dave Sims called Aaron Judge's homer as the Yankees swept the Royals and will play the Rays in their spring training home. 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. Hour 2 Filling in for a sick Boomer on his 64th birthday (marked by an Al-sung Beatles tune), Gio lamented the Mets' series loss to the "not very good" Twins, citing sloppy defense and a cold, strikeout-prone Juan Soto. Pete Alonso's strong season and contract were discussed, drawing comparisons to Strawberry and Wright. C-Lo's update featured Dave Sims' call of Cody Bellinger's game-ending catch and an Aaron Judge homer. A caller shared a story about giving C-Lo's niece a ball at Yankee Stadium. Chris Russo's interview with Gary Player included a blunt "stay alive."

Joe Schoen discussed the Giants' openness to drafting a QB if the value aligns. The hour concluded with news of a settled lawsuit where Artemi Panarin was accused of sexual assault by a Rangers employee. Hour 4 NFL reporters predict the Giants will draft Abdul Carter or Travis Henry, depending on the Browns' pick. The show debated Shedeur Sanders' potential and the possibility of the Titans, Browns, or Giants trading their picks. Jerry suggested the Giants should take a quarterback at three, while Gio prefers Carter at three and a quarterback later, but Gio doubts any Giants or Jets draftee will significantly improve their teams this season. 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.

With his Frederick Flying Cows team off to another great start in its second season of play in The Basketball League (TBL), coach Ed Corporal is this week's guest on The Final Score podcast. Corporal shares stories from his incredible life in basketball with host Greg Swatek. His step brother, Otis Birdsong, was the second overall pick in the 1977 NBA Draft by the Kansas City Kings (who now play in Sacramento) and quickly became an All-Star player with the Kings and then later the New Jersey Nets (1984). Corporal served as a teenage ballboy for the Kings and was assigned to making sure the visiting teams had everything they need. So, he shares stories of interacting with Magic Johnson, Pat Riley and Larry Bird and what he learned from them by just watching them work. He talks about how the game has changed and why he isn't so enamored with today's NBA game. He also talks about how his sheer stubbornness, competitiveness and love for the game and helping people pushed him and guided him during his recovery from two massive strokes in 2013. And he talks about his unusual path to becoming the head coach of the Flying Cows and why the team has been so good right from its inception. Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss the ongoing spring sports season in Frederick County, including remarkable no-hitters in both baseball and softball.
