I'm Tony Cornheiser, Weird. Last night's included a bag of feathers, a hot glue gun, and Gene Schalleth. Gene Schalleth. I'm gonna guess that no more than 11 people listening to us now. No, right name Gene Schalleth.

And so, Gene Schalleth, is he still with us? He is with us. He's going to be a hundred in a couple of weeks. A hundred years old. He is a great movie reviewer for NBC for years and years and years.

Welcome to PTI Boys and Girls.

We'll get to Bayon Matabio's 83 and Hiddly's upset of T.U.S.A. at a moment.

But we begin today with a Pival in the NFL. The Baltimore Ravens, who just a few days ago, traded two number one picks for Raiders Pass-Russia Max Crosby, have Renegd on the deal. It's off.

The Raiders still have Crosby. The Ravens still have their two picks. And today they added Pass-Russia Tray Hendricksson, a free agent from Cincinnati. Wilbon, how do the Ravens look?

“And what do you see as a potential domino effect here?”

Wow. Tony, this thing. I'm completely obsessed with this story and became that last night. And I'm still obsessed with it. In part on both sides.

Like the Raiders get him back on the roster right now. But they signed it on a people. How do they fit that all under the cap at the moment? And the Ravens seem like they've made out. Because they get Hendricksson, a pass-Russia, who's not quite the impact player.

Perhaps overall the Max Crosby is. But they get their Edge-Russia guy, right? And they add him and they don't have to give up either of the two picks. So the whole thing is just it's crazy. Like what's the standard for a team saying?

We don't like the X-rays. Take a hike, return to center. What's the standard? Who gets to judge that? There's so many questions.

None of them have answers. It makes it to me so fascinating. My understanding of it is there. Are able to do that because the deal had not been consummated because it was not yet. When the deals are officially done.

Look, I disagree with you.

“I think Tre Hendricksson is every bit as good as Max Crosby.”

Tre Hendricksson had ten more sacks than Max Crosby from 2019 on. Crosby's very good. Hendricksson is very good in their both coming out of injuries. I think that getting Hendricksson saved the Baltimore Ravens a lot of egg on their face. Because they look foolish to just get out of this tray.

They would just look ridiculously foolish at this point to me. Now what they've got, you know, well, let me just start by saying, when that trade happened, you and I and a lot of the other people, we gave Cudos to Baltimore. We said, wow, they're going for it right now.

They're trying to get into the Super Bowl. I think if they hadn't gotten Hendricksson and they called the deal off, they actually would have looked like clowns. But Hendricksson saves them. Who's the GM Eric DeCost?

Eric DeCost has been here a long time.

He had never ever traded a number one pick.

Just one of them. And now he traded too. Obviously he had second thoughts. Obviously he felt that this was not a good deal. And he tried to get out of it.

“But again, I think Hendricksson, I think Hendricksson saves him.”

Because Baltimore was in trouble. They had a terrible past rush last year. And a lot of their free agent people were going now, Mike. Now they have Hendricksson. They have both number ones.

And they look like it's a big win. They shouldn't have done it that way to start. Well, Tony, I look, I agree. I mean, I know when the bears were mentioned in this stuff. I don't want to give up two number ones from Max Crossby.

I will push back in this way, though. Max Crossby's better against the run. And a better overall player. Not just looking at past rush than Hendricksson. But I'm with you on the.

I'd rather just have Hendricksson. And those two number ones, particularly with one of them. Yeah, 14th overall pick. I agree with you. Yes.

Baltimore to me. And out of the race. The raiders get to just keep everybody really. Well, how to get that.

And I think they didn't miss particular case. You would think that Crossby would go somewhere else. You would think that bridges were burned.

But maybe not because it's a first year coach.

A first year coach and the raiders. Maybe he reaches out to Crossby. Maybe it works. I don't know. Yeah.

It's got some time. I mean, the, you know, the big packers. Cowboys deal didn't happen last year to like July. So there's some time. Let's turn to bam out of bios enormous night.

He scored 83 points. The second most in NBA history in Miami's 150 to 129 win over Tony's wizards. Bam had 31 after the first quarter, 43 at the half. 36 came at the foul line. A new NBA record.

And he coach Eric Spolstra aided the effort of his player with some of his decisions. Afterward. Bam said quote, "Wilt me then Kobe." Sounds crazy. Close quote.

“So what do you think of how Bam accomplished this thing last night?”

And who he did against? Okay. So let me be perfectly clear in this. Bam out of bio was a fine player. He's not a whole of fame player.

He is a fine player. But 83. Really? 83. I mean, come on.

So let's look at how he got it. He went to the foul line 43 times. That's an NBA record. And that tells you the wizards were not attempting to defend him. They were just fouling him.

They weren't trying to stop him. They were just fouling him. They made no attempt to do anything else. And he took 223's. I know that you know this.

I know you know how many of three's will took when he got 100. He took no threes because the threes were in around.

So let me talk about the wizards for a second.

They are a disgrace to the capital of the United States of America. They are a disgrace to the NBA. They have been trying to lose for the last three years. And succeeding. Their defenses ranked second worse than the league.

You saw it last night. And defense is just effort. They tried to lose for three years.

“I think that the president of the basketball operations and the general manager and the coach”

should all be fired. I thought they should have been fired at the end of last year. But clearly, the owner believes in the tanking strategy or else he would have stopped this a long time ago. As you know, Mike, I don't think they should get any ping pong balls.

I don't think they should be rewarded for trying to lose. I think if Adam Silver has an ounce of decency and he'll say, no, no, you do not get a reward. You don't know. No ping pong balls for you. And not only that, he should say, and you're selling season tickets based on false hope.

I mean, you're trying to lose. So I'm done. All right. Let me go back to the topic that interest more people outside of you and me in Washington. That would be bam.

Richard Jefferson, I thought, used a great word. And there was so many reactions to this last night, Richard Jefferson used the word outlier. Because Tony, if we sat down and you put 50 names in front of me, you might get to a hundred. And you said, okay, circle the guy who's going to score 83. I can't go at the least 50 deep before I go to bam.

Who's career high was like 41 40 to fine player. Like a really good dude. Bam. You got your report defenses player comes into the lead to do dirty work. Tony, there's no way you think that bam is going to do this.

But he did it. And I, when I heard this last night, I was just like, oh, my God. And then the wizards came. So yes, I laughed at it as well. But Tony just think this, he goes scored a hundred.

He was seven of 22 from three from three. If he goes 15 of 22 from three, he's got 91. And he missed free throws. Tony, a hundred wasn't even outrageous. And you know us outrageous, because we know it belongs to Wilton.

But it was like, oh, is it a wow?

He had 41 in the first quarter.

“Do you know how many points Michael Jordan had in his best quarter of all time?”

This Michael Jordan were talking about he had 40. Bam out of Iowa had more points in one quarter than Michael Jordan has ever had. That's an amazing thing. Let's turn to the world baseball classic in the sticky situation. The US team now finds itself in.

By losing to Italy last night eight to six, the US will only get into the quarter finals. If Italy beats Mexico tonight, excuse me, or if Mexico beats Italy and scores five or more runs in nine innings. Complicated. The US team has only itself to blame for this. And their manager, Mark De Rosa, was unaware of this jeopardy early yesterday.

And in fact, said the US team was moving on well before last night's game against Italy was played. Now De Rosa says he learned the exact circumstances well before the game that indeed the US was not automatically in. Wilton, how did the US say performance yesterday against Italy look to you?

You know, when I watched this, I'm watching this to watch the United States. Japan, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, right? You know, you know, you're watching this baseball for that. I'm not watching this to watch Italy or Great Britain. I don't even want to see them, right?

I'm ready for them, come July for the World Cup. So yeah, I'm looking, I'm looking, the score comes up. And it's like whatever it is when I first was aware of it,

waiting on a five hour delayed flight to Chicago that never took off.

And I look up and see the score and it's like five another like, whoa, Italy, Italy. This is friendly. What is this? So, Tony, hate to say this.

“I mean, it's cool when a superpower and that's what we are, particularly in baseball.”

When a superpower is pushed to the brick, there's drama and that's what any tournament needs. Yeah, I'm not going to knock the United States team because Pietro Armstrong had two home runs. They came back and they're facing a situation where Aaron George is the tying run in the bottom of the night. Then he said, "Bat." So he strikes out, okay, that happens. Previous two games he hit, home runs.

I do think the derosething is sort of interesting, you know, that he had said early on that the United States was in and then had to walk it back. But I will take him at his word that he didn't change the lineup around here. That he's managed exactly the way he's supposed to manage. I'll take him at his word.

I will say this, though, Mike.

The United States scored six runs. Six is a pile of runs. Baseball teams win games when they get six runs. Six should have been. It seems to me enough. Now they'll all watch it tonight at seven o'clock. And I'm hoping, I'm actually hoping, that Cow Rally texts his good friend Rosarena

and says, "Could you help us out? Could you get us some runs?" Let's take a break. Right out. No doubt. Coming up. Could injuries affect Duke CD and the NCAA tournament. We're going to ask Joey Brackett's Joe Lennardy.

We'll also ask him what he sees as the potential seeding for undefeated Miami of Ohio. Tonya to U.S. line up is so great. I don't care who he plays. From 30 for 30 podcasts.

The Kino is his case. It's Friday.

The Kino is his case. It's Friday. The Kino is his case. It's Friday. It's Friday. A hour before he died, he was on a phone. Argonauts about this might be a hit.

Do you want to truth?

“To just want to conviction be implicit or arrested?”

We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now. It's the middle of the night in a small town on the Jersey Shore. Someone reports in a band and 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.

Buried 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. With the top college conference tournaments getting underway. We want to check in with our good friend, ESPN, Brake Apologist, Joe Lennardi Wilbon. Lennardis had a tough month.

His favorite bagel joint out of the Jersey Shore closed. And so it's a tough month for him. We got to make sure you know. Let's start with this daily recovery coverage. Good.

“Could these injuries to Duke or a loss in the tournament?”

Excuse me. Materially affect Duke's seating or Duke's path? I don't think so, guys. And here's why Duke has enough separation over the other teams competing for a one seed. I think they could lose by 40 in their ACC opener and still be.

The number one seed in the East regardless of who takes the floor. Now, might they be one overall and or lose that spot? Can Michigan and or Arizona eclipse them? Yes, but that's really a distinction without a difference. Because Duke's geographic assignment Greenville,

South Carolina and then DC is pretty well set. And I think playing the long game here and trying to get at least one of their two. injured guys back is the smart play. All right, Joe. Duke, Michigan, Arizona. Give us the mystery guess who is the fourth number one seed.

Today it's Florida and for good reason even though the Gators didn't have the greatest non-conference.

They've really been excellent for the last six, seven weeks and equal to those three other teams. Not over 30 games but over the last 15 they've been equal. They will be a very worthy defending champion and really the only team on the number one seed line. That could lose that spot if they go out early in the ACC tournament. And you can get back to the top of the Big East by winning a rubber game against St. John's.

All right, Tony and I have been particularly interested in and protective of Miami of Ohio. And they're on beaten of course.

“If they go through their tournament and stay undefeated, what kind of seeding do you see for Miami of Ohio?”

This is really an unprecedented situation. You guys are old enough to remember all the undefeated teams. At least since we started seeding the field in 1979, that's almost 50 years. There've really been six undefeated regular season teams in that span and they've all been one seeds. And they've not all been blue bloods.

You know, we've had Kentucky, we've had Gonzaga. We've even had the Wichita States and the St. Joseph. But this Miami team is not a one seed. Okay, but when I hear people talk about them being barely in the field, we've lost the plot. There are a member of Division one and they haven't lost any games.

We keep score for a reason.

“I think if they run the table, the committee will do it.”

It often does with teams with an uneven resume.

They're going to be in an eight nine game and a very dangerous first round opponent.

You know what, I think that's fair. I think that's fair to reward them in that way. I mean, you're not going to make them a three seed or a four seed, but an eight nine. That seems fair to me. Let's get you out of here on this.

How do you feel? Mike, and I don't like this. The expansion of the tournament, the possible expansion of the tournament. How do you feel about the possibility of the tournament expanding? On one hand, I hated because I'm still a bracket nerd that it should be the perfect 64.

But I also don't think that teams with losing conference records should be eligible for an at large bid.

“I think we play the season for a reason and I think there should be minimum tournament eligibility.”

Now, since that's never going to happen, I think we almost need some modest.

And I mean, very modest expansion to protect us from the power conferences that if they had their way, which squeeze out all the Miami's, all the sister genes, all the butlers and all the George Mason's. So that's my hill, and I'm ready to die on it. When you talk about minimum, how many? How many teams do you think? How many? I think we could go up to 80, actually, and have the equivalent of a first four in each region.

The first four concept works 80 is more symmetrical than the 72 and 76 proposals that are on the table. But, and here's my gigantic, but for me, all of the automatic qualifiers from the SEC to the Southland, they would all be in the main bracket. They would not be in opening round plans, and the only teams playing in would be all the bubble teams in the middle of the field. And yes, that would put Bracatile just out of business, and as long as they wait two or three years, I'm okay with that.

I like this. I like that's a good idea. Thank you as always, Joe.

Thank you. Appreciate it, man. You bet. You can fill out your own bracket by using the ESPN Tournament Challenge. Let's take one last break, but still to come, the Colts commit to Daniel Jones. And Jalen Brown's second-quarter ejection scottles the Celtics matchup with the Spirlers ruined it for a lot of us.

Simon, are you sure about the story, or about the Schwifler Speck, just at the beginning of the game? No, I'm not sure about it. I'm sure it's my safe space. Do you think it's all right? Yes, exactly. I'm sure it's the story of the story, which I just understood. I don't have a job or a job or a job.

Do you think I don't understand? Do you think it's safe? With what do you think? Happy to hear people happy 46th birthday Rich Hill. The veteran left hander pitched two games last season for Kansas City,

making Hill the oldest pitcher in the majors last year. In his first star to give us a cup, Hill went five innings gave up one earned. In his second star, Hill got touched up for two homers and four earned by the Braves, and he walks six.

Although he hasn't used the word retirement, Hill has said he has no plans to pitch this season. So if he's done, Hill will finish his career with a record of 976 and a 402-ERA. Hill pitched in 388 games for 14 different teams, dating back to 2005. In 2016, Hill was 12 and five with a 2-1-2-ERA for Oakland and the Dodgers. If you could pick a path along Jevety and Sports,

let your kid grow up to be a backup quarterback or a left-handed pitcher. You can hang around for a few talented. Like these guy like Rich Hill is for a long, long, long time. Have you had a nursery she killed on Neil? On this day, 18 years ago, while playing for Phoenix.

Shack spotted a loose ball and was determined to get his hands off. As you can see, Shack clears the entire sun's bench as he goes after the ball near his teammates. Of course players in coaches scattered. This is 360 pounds of Shack bearing down on him. Afterwards, Shack's gesture with his arm seemed to say, "Why didn't you guys want to catch me?"

“Well, I'd remember I told you about the time I was at an all-star game party,”

Yacking with someone, Shack came up behind me and lifted me into the air over his head. I was 10 feet off the ground, I was terrified. It was great hearing her from Shack. My voice is rotten right now. And I can't do a great Shack.

But Tony, hearing her from Shack and his sound is something like this. Bro, I picked you boy up. I picked him up. It was like picking up groceries. Happy trails, Jaylin Brown.

The Celtic squad was teed up twice and therefore ejected the second quarter of last night's

Big Showdown with the spurs. Ground was upset because he felt he had been fouled by the fine castle, while turning the ball over.

“Ground went to the locker room and then posted about what he felt was the officiating”

injustice that he had to. Ground's ejection undermined the matchup that ruled on and I had been so looking forward to watch it. The game was won by the spurs as Victor Wemmanyama finished with 39 points, including eight threes. Yeah, Tony.

But one of Yama was great as usual, but it was unfolding. Result to me, unsatisfying, giving you want to see Jaylin Brown out there. It is. It just got screwed up. I agree with that.

I wanted him to have an MVP night. And he was gone half way through. Couple of corrections.

I said, Bam had 41 points in the first quarter.

It was actually 31. My bad. And Wilbon had some math issues as well. He said if Bam had a bio, it made 15 threes instead of 7 threes, he would have had 91 points. Not quite if he made eight more threes.

He would have had a hundred seven. Let's go. If you could to the big finish. Steve Tish plans to move his shares in the New York Giants into a trust for his children,

“following the release of emails that tied into Jeffrey Epstein, is that significant?”

I don't know. And don't particularly want to consider it.

A country agreed to a new deal with Daniel Jones for two years, an 88 million dollars,

with 16 million guarantee. Does that make sense? It does. He was really good before he got hurt. Circus fired at Coach Adrian Orchery.

Does that make sense? Well, Tony, he didn't make a turn in three seasons, so he saw this coming. Which is too bad. Terry's Maxi, out three weeks with a tendon injury to his right pinky. That's a big deal.

He's there best player because he's out there all the time. Last one conference championship tonight in the Patriot and Big Sky. He's out there. I'm going to go on the high and Montana. We'll check to tape tomorrow.

We're out of time. We'll try to do better the next time. And I'm Tony Cornheiser. I'm Mike Robond, same time tomorrow, not go ahead.
