Part of the interruption but I'm Mike Wilbontoni, a man in Munich. Just to the Guinness World record by pulling a 2,200 pound carriage with his nipples. I'm Tony Cornhauer, I'm still a little tender, but I made it back in times for the shift.

I'm impressed in it's a Munich man and not a Florida man. So in other words, you believe it's true now. I believe it's true. There's greater credibility when we take it out of Florida.

“Take it out of the swine. I think all those Florida stories are real.”

I do. I think they're real. We're going to PTI boys and girls in today's episode. Kate Cunningham's collapsed lung. Tigers, TGL appearance and Tim Kurching joins us on opening night of the baseball season.

But we begin today with the University of North Carolina firing there and coming to basketball coach. And former tar heel star player, Uber Davis. Days after Carolina blew a 19 point lead and lost in overtime to Virginia Commonwealth.

In the first round of the tournament, this was the second straight year.

Carolina has gone out in the first round. Davis leaves after five years in Chapel Hill and a 125 and 54 record. Will Bond do you understand this from North Carolina's perspective and where do they go from here? I can understand it, but I can understand not doing it. I can make the case either way for saying to Uber Davis,

we don't like losing to the first round and we arrogantly are North Carolina. And this is what we expect. We expect by the way to keep up with the school eight miles away. It wears the other blue. On the other hand, Caleb Wilson, who could be the first player chosen in the upcoming NBA draft could be.

He was her top three. They were 19 and five with him in the lineup.

“So was that an embarrassment that they were 19 and five night?”

You can make the case either way. I'm sort of annoyed maybe because I keep hearing what is North Carolina going from here. I keep hearing about all these coaches who coach other places. They're going to leave Alabama. They're going to leave Arizona.

Why? At a time in which basketball now, college basketball is pro basketball. You can pay people. You got rich alums. You too can afford anybody Carolina can afford.

This is not Dean Smith or even Roy Williams Carolina. And so they got to be careful about that and I don't think they are. So I'm going to dispute a little bit of what you say. I thought they could have given him another year. But within the last three or four days, I've talked to a bunch of Carolina grads.

And it was sort of unanimous where they said, no, this has to be done it. More than that though, Mike. And you brought up Dean Smith's name. More than that, they said, we've got to get away from the Dean Smith lineage for a while. We've got to not do this internally as we have been doing.

And this is sort of what Georgetown faced to get away from the John Thompson lineage. The other thing that stood out to me was to a man. Every one of these people had the same guy at the top of the list. And you know who that is? Jay Wright.

And they said, but we'll never get him.

No, they said we'll never get him. And that's where Billy Donovan's name comes up. Tommy Lloyd's name comes up. You know, Dustin May's name comes up. I want to say this to you because you used the word arrogant.

I would not use that for Carolina. This is not just another job. North Carolina is one of the pillars of college basketball. And has been for 70 years. There's North Carolina.

There's Kentucky. There's UCLA and maybe there's Kansas. Yeah, and that's the list. So the person has to come in here with no questions. Yes, just like you were Davis.

Nobody had a problem with that. And then she was the right guy. You think they're different guy now. But get what they say. They're going to get away now from Dean Smith's lineage.

You think the person coming in there has no connection to North Carolina? Because I don't see that. And I do see a certain arrogance by the way. arrogance is usually earned. North Carolina earned that over 80 years of competition.

And that's a very important thing. And that's a very important thing. And that's a very important thing. This is a really intriguing story. He's the first manager ever to manage a majorly game with no professional experience.

Now, his team went 19 and 9 this spring. They were looking for more emotion and more energy. And they got both of it from this guy. But no one's ever done this before. And there is a huge difference between being the head coach at Tennessee and a majorly

manager, especially when you're opening with the New York Yankees. I was told that he is a great recruiter. But I'm not sure recruiting is really going to help on the major league level. But I do know we have to give this guy a chance because his energy level is off the chart. We'll see if that makes a difference.

All right. We can not have you without talking about show hey. We like trying to talk about golf in the early 2000s without talking about tiger. So show hey, of course. Tim is you know, struck out 11 of the first 14 batters he faced.

And yesterday's spring training tune up. What is this forecast? His forecast is great because everything that this guy decides to do. He goes out and does it.

I've never seen anybody in baseball rise to the occasion quite like him.

Just look at a couple of years ago.

“He had Tommy John surgery. He couldn't pitch so he said, all right, what can I do that?”

No one else has done. So he had 50 homers, 50 steals and made it easily. Now there are whispers that he wants to win a sigh, young award. He's got four every piece and now he's trying to win the sigh young. And I will not underestimate him under any circumstances because when he makes up his mind to do something.

He is the most remarkable player.

I have ever seen and they have plans to put him in the rotation right from the beginning. And leave him there for the whole year. Won't going to be, oh, we got to give him three weeks off in the middle of the season. He's in for the long haul if he's up. All right.

So let me follow this up with the Dodgers sort of Dodgers question. If the Dodgers is great, is there anybody in the National League? And I know who I wanted to be. But if there is anybody in the National League who can legitimately challenge the Dodgers? Who is it?

I think it's the fillies, but a few things have to happen. Zach Wheeler, who is injured right now. Their best pitcher has to come back completely healthy. And then Schworber and Harper and Real Muto and Turner have to have career years.

“That the only way that anybody is going to beat the Dodgers this year.”

Michael, I have seen them the last six years. Three championships winning percentage of 630. The last team to do that over a six year period was a 53 to 58. Yankees, we are watching a dynasty. And this is the best Dodger team that I've seen in this decade.

It's baseball. So anyone can win the Dodgers or the prohibitive favorites. I think the fillies have the best chance to beat them. Well, you broke Wilbon's heart because you wanted you to say the cubs. And he didn't say the cubs.

We'll get you out of here on this. And this is it's nice to talk about judge and show Hayatani and all of this stuff. But there is a larger issue that people are going to see. Tonight they're going to see it for the rest of the season. Maybe the rest of the time.

It's a fundamental change in baseball. It is robotic on piring. This is a big deal. And we're going to see it.

“Do you have any observations or predictions on the introduction of this?”

How you feel about it and how players you have talked to feel about it? Yeah, I talked to a lot of players and a lot of managers about this. And one manager told me he said, look, I think we should have a complete robotic system calling every ball and every strike or no system at all. We're kind of in the middle here.

And he also said, it worries me, you know, just a little bit that the challenge system, the strategy for the challenge is more important sometimes than what is going on in the game. And that doesn't sound particularly healthy to me. I am willing to go along with this with the understanding. If it's not working, we have to move on and try something else.

But obviously the reason they're doing this is the United States beat the Dominican on a strike three that ended the game that was clearly a ball under the ABS system. That will in theory not happen unless you're out of your your challenges by the night thinning. So it's going to be fascinating to watch. But this is here to stay. That's a very important point that you make.

You don't want to challenge in the first inning with nobody on just to get a runner with two outs.

You better make sure there are runs involved in this because if you lose them they're going forever.

“Tim, I think we're going to see a lot of teams not use until the 8th and 9th inning and then use them completely because they got them and they want to do something.”

Right, and I had another manager tell me the shorter players are really going to benefit from this, which means if I make it come back, I'm going to hit 380. That's you. And one guy, one manager told me one of our guys has is now listed at 5.11 instead of 6 feet. It hopes of getting an advantage with ABS, but they're going to get measured that's not going to be a problem.

It's going to be an interesting thing every night. Thank you Tim, pleasure to have you. Thank you. Thank you Tony, thank you Michael. Let's take one last break still to come.

Tiger returns to golf. Sort of. Sort of. I watched. The bill self just clarify or further could use us about his coaching future.

I watched every swing Tiger took.

I didn't watch one second.

Yeah, including the three foot six inch pot that he missed. Yeah. That he missed. Nine, one, one way or the emergency. It's the middle of the night in a small town on the Jersey Shore.

Someone reports an abandoned car on a bridge. A search gets underway for the missing driver. 19 year old Sarah Stern. Is it a missing person? Is it a suicide?

At this point nobody knows. Old friendships. Baring cash. And a sinister plot that was once pitched as a movie plays out in real life. I'm Juju Chang from 2020 and ABC audio.

Listen now to Bridge of Lives wherever you get your podcasts. Happy time. People happy 60th birthday Tom Blavin. The left-handed Hall of Famer finished his 22 season major league career with 305 victories.

244 of them with the Atlanta Braves.

There were those.

“112 Saiyans and the 1995 World Series with the Braves where he was the series MVP.”

Blavin's career ERA was 3.54 and the top of the rotation in Atlanta. Glavin, Greg Maddox and John Smolts are all in the Hall of Fame. Glavin played before the D.H. in the National League. He was a four-time silver slugger. In one of those silver slugger seasons 1995.

Glavin hit his only home run a solo shout-off Cincinnati. Happy 60th birthday to Gabe Buckley. The least you're still legally protected. Matthew Wilbont turns 18 today. He's not legally protected.

And I can throw him out. Did you have the nerve to do it? No. I think you're a loving father. I think you'd like to throw.

Happy 18. But you won't throw him out. Happy anniversary Jim Laranaga. Around this day 20 years ago Laranaga's George Mason team. stunned number one seed Connecticut.

To reach the final four is an 11 seed. Becoming the most obscure program. They ever get that wrong. Don't you ever get that wrong? I was not at that game.

From George Mason Laranaga went to the U. We became the winningest coach. I didn't know this in Miami history. I didn't know that. In December 2024 Laranaga announced he was stepping down in mid-season.

Saying quote after more than 50 years in coaching. It is simply time on quote. Laranaga left the canes to six NCAA tournaments.

Including their first final four in 2023.

Their first to lead 8 in 2022 and four sweet 16s.

“Wilbont, you and I remember Laranaga when he was Terry Hans.”

It's been a new VA. Yes, we do. But those George Mason games were thrilling. The reason was Simian final. We're here in Washington miles away from George Mason's campus.

Thrilling among the most thrilling things. I've ever covered in college basketball all these decades. It was like a home game for them as what you're saying. It was. Wow.

Whatever that center was called when crazy. Enough of the wizards. But happy trails, Jupiter links. Tigers, bad seed golf team fell in the TGL finals last night. To blow us into a golf club by a score of nine to two.

Watch this.

Tiger was an action for the first time since last March.

When he tore in the killies and later had back surgery. He struggled at one point missing a three foot six inch part on the seventh hole. That was over not long after that. Watching him was exciting, but TGL requires no walking.

“Tiger said after that he wants to play in the masters in two weeks.”

I'm not certain he can. But if the private plane trackers find him flying to a gust of a pair, I might think differently. You might. But then you're going to be stressed out watching Tiger do that.

Just hoping he can physically do it. It's not to miss. I'm going to tell you something. I thought they were going to fix the first match to get a second match. Get two more out there.

That didn't happen. No. Scott, he didn't have to work. He interviewed everybody in the world. Let's go to the big finish.

Let's do it. 41-year-old Joe Flacco has agreed to join the Bengals on a one-year deal. He says teams are dumb for not signing him to start your thoughts. No, they're not. Bill Self tells the Kansas City star.

News of his imminent retirement is BS and bad. He was asking the question and he opened the door. He said, "Yeah, you just said about it." No, yeah. But he opened the door to it.

NBA owners wanted to consider bids for Vegas and Seattle franchise as you spread. Stop it. Stop with the show. This is done. Seattle and Vegas.

Welcome back to Seattle.

Never should have gone anywhere.

G-Leaks says Mac McClump is now it's all time leading score across all Contests including playoffs. You impressed with that? Get 59 last night. Yeah, I just wish I had a better shot at the end of it.

Last one. NFL announced today. Seahawks will host the opening game in next season on a Wednesday. Not a Thursday. The Bears.

That's Seattle. That's the opening. We're out of the doubts. We're ready. We're trying to do better the next time.

I'm Tony Cornel. I'm Mike Globand. Same time tomorrow.
