(00:00) Tune in as we start by discussing Detroit's heartbreaking loss to the St. Louis Blues as Cam Talbot and J.T.

Gio, recalling Evan & Tiki's discussion, pondered Juan Soto's alleged reluctance to join the Yankees due to heightened scrutiny, drawing a parallel to Kevin Durant's Nets decision, while asserting the Mets' distinct situation. The Mets' new sausage type race sparked a memory of a Pirates player's suspension. Steve Cohen's active X engagement, including a response to a WFAN employee, was noted. Jerry's update featured contrasting opinions from Al and Boomer on the Giants' draft, the Knicks' historic double triple-double win, and Tom Izzo's portal concerns. Chris Russo's "anals" gaffe resurfaced during a George Foreman discussion. The hour concluded with a heartwarming dog reunion after 11 years and a lighthearted exchange about "rodent-looking men" following Boomer's Jim Rome podcast appearance, where he mentioned the "rat family".

Hour 1 Boomer's impressed by Russell Wilson's TD to interception ratio, leading him to believe the Giants won't draft a QB at three, a view Gio disputes. Meanwhile, the Titans' sudden interest in Cam Ward and the Browns' QB need complicate the Giants' draft plans, making Wilson an insurance policy. Boomer still predicts Shedeur Sanders will land with the Raiders, while the Browns' QB situation is deemed critical. Jerry's update included Russell Wilson's "Mr. Unlimited" audio, Stefon Diggs' Patriots signing, and Drake Maye's excitement. The Knicks' historic double triple-double win over the Mavericks, featuring Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart, was highlighted, followed by a discussion on the 1800 college basketball players in the transfer portal. Hour 2 Gio, recalling Evan & Tiki's discussion, pondered Juan Soto's alleged reluctance to join the Yankees due to heightened scrutiny, drawing a parallel to Kevin Durant's Nets decision, while asserting the Mets' distinct situation. The Mets' new sausage type race sparked a memory of a Pirates player's suspension. Steve Cohen's active X engagement, including a response to a WFAN employee, was noted. Jerry's update featured contrasting opinions from Al and Boomer on the Giants' draft, the Knicks' historic double triple-double win, and Tom Izzo's portal concerns. Chris Russo's "anals" gaffe resurfaced during a George Foreman discussion. The hour concluded with a heartwarming dog reunion after 11 years and a lighthearted exchange about "rodent-looking men" following Boomer's Jim Rome podcast appearance, where he mentioned the "rat family". Hour 3 Gio's parental concerns about his daughter's soccer team's focus on friendship over winning sparked a discussion, followed by a caller's query about the Giants' coaching staff's job security. Boomer humorously reacted to Gio's recurring "Kansas City model" comparison. The Giants' draft strategy and quarterback situation remained a focal point. Jerry's update featured JJ McCarthy's readiness, Boomer's correct answer to "What the hell was that?", the Knicks' historic double triple-double, Shaq's Miami perspective, and Rick Pitino's son's new coaching role at Xavier. The hour concluded with a debate on the Giants' 3.5-game over/under, with Boomer favoring the over, and the playing of the 1983 rap song, "Watch the closing doors" by I.R.T. Hour 4 The show discussed arena league coaches, Russell Wilson joining the Giants, and the Giants draft. Callers debated starting quarterbacks. Jerry gave his final update and Boomer wondered about the dark web. Cam Smith reached the Astros and was emotional. The Knicks won with two triple doubles, the Rangers lost. The Moment of the Day featured Chris Russo on George Foreman's passing. Boomer closed the show still talking about the dark web.

Jerry starts with audio of Al yelling about the Giants draft compared with Boomer talking about the Giants draft and they are saying opposite things. The Knicks beat the Mavericks at MSG . The Knicks had two triple doubles last night, the first time in their history. Tom Izzo of Michigan State talked about the portal and is just worrying about today.

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?
