Hour 1 – Bam’s Big Night Criticized, Ross Tucker

I'm Clayton Eckard, in 2022,

I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor.

“But here's the thing, Bachelor fans hated him.”

If I could press a button and rewind it all I would, that's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one-night stand would end in a courtroom. The media is here, this case has gone viral. The dating contract.

Agreed to date me, but I'm also suing you. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. Listen to the love trapped on the eye-heart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And that's not reality. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life. And I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to on-purpose, with Jay Shetty,

on the eye-heart radio app. Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. We did it, we made it to a Thursday. Oh, what a wild 36 hours we're holding on to dear life for our legends, our

legacies. Poor Bamm out of bio. Why did you score 83? We'll talk a little bit more about that coming up. 877 3D P-Show, email address [email protected], Twitter,

Dan Patrick, play the day poll question, stat of the day, all of that forthcoming. Good morning, if you're watching. On Peacock, that's our streaming partner, also the NBC Sports Network. Gangs all here, the Minister of Humor, Fritzy, Seat, Mar,

Polyers, Truly, and of course the backroom guys, 877 3D P-Show, Operator Tyler, sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. Couple things that we'll discuss, Italy helps out team USA, as they stay alive in the world baseball classic.

Max Crosby, back with the Raiders, but not without some drama. We'll talk about that situation and bids to the big dance. McNeese, Lehigh, and Idaho Bobby Hurley out of Arizona State. Syracuse has an opening and I would think Jerry McNamara, former Orangeman at Sienna going to the tournament,

would probably be next in line. Alrighty, so the BAM had a bio situation. We hold on for dear life to legacies when you think about it.

So BAM and Kobe, so this is just second on the all-time list.

But, you know, the outpouring of support and love, that, hey, Kobe deserves better than this. That BAM should have stopped and maybe, you know, paid tribute to one of his idols, Roger Maris and Bay Ruth. You know, people thought, well, somebody's going to break Bay Ruth's record.

It should be Mickey Manl, not Roger Maris. And he played in 162, Bay had 154 games. How about Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron?

“How dare they let somebody as dirty as Barry Bonds?”

Beat the altar clean, Hank Aaron. Miles Garrett, Michael Strahan to a lesser degree. I don't think anybody had a problem with that. It was when Michael Strahan moved past Mark Gastodo. But Gastodo wasn't a beloved guy.

It was just the way that Michael Strahan was afforded that sack against Brett Far. But those are just some examples. You'll probably have a few more for me.

And it just feels like the old school NBA fan or analyst is like,

“"How dare you make a mockery of the game?"”

Well, no one was there when Wilton did this, but Wilton was chasing 100 points that night. And nobody talks about that. We talk about 100 points. Wilton was chasing 100 points that night. I know the game was already out of hand.

Now it was about Wilton getting 100 points. BAM out of bio still put up over 60 points through three quarters. You can talk about the fourth quarter.

But let's please acknowledge the first quarter had 31.

Now, had nothing to do with some scheming game plan to draw fouls. He put up 31. Eric Spolster, the Miami Heat Head Coach, then realized maybe there was something special. And he was going to let him have a special night. Then you go for 62.5 times.

So 62 legitimately. 62 at the end of three, I'm sorry. So those are all legitimate. Thank you, Paulie. That's legitimate there.

Now did the fourth quarter get out of hand, it did. But he still put up 83.

“And I think we get caught up in this vacuum of how dare he do that.”

And we can't speak for Kobe. I mean, I did ask the question of, what do you think Kobe would think? Jason Jackson of, you know, the voice of the Miami Heat. I asked him, he said, well, that was, you know, BAM out of bio's idol. I don't know.

I mean, if we have BAM on the show, I'll ask him. Did he give any thought to maybe not going for the record?

But he has it as the second highest score.

I don't know if we've ever been that upset about a situation where somebody didn't even break the record. They just broke Kobe's record. Yeah, pulling a lot of people who cover basketball, not just fans who might be angry, but serious basketball people, Robert or you played basketball were very, very bothered by the fourth quarter they said that wasn't basketball.

That was a quest to pass a certain player and get to 83, 82 points. And the heat fouling, that's not natural. The throwing the ball off the backboard on a free throw that's not natural. They were bothered by the aesthetics of how the record was set or broken. It's hard to play defense in the NBA now.

I think we can all agree. Everything feels like a foul and BAM out of bio took advantage of that. He took advantage of a bad wizard's team. But if you're still putting up at least 60 points at the end of three quarters,

I have to acknowledge that you had an incredible night.

And yes, was the game out of hand? Yes, were they trying to get him to 83 or 82? Yes. Did the wizards double team triple team? Were they foul? Yes, all of these things. But it still comes down to you had to stop him. Everybody gets to play against the wizards at least twice a year. Now a lot of guys get career highs or season highs against the wizards, but 83 still 83.

And I was looking at the NBA scoring. In 2000 teams averaged just a little under 95 points per game. In 2026 teams are averaging 115 points per game. And I was looking to see how many teams have lost a game this season while scoring at least 130 points. At last count, I had 25 games. Team scored 130 and lost. In 2000 teams averaged 91 possessions per game. This year 99 possessions per game. Back in 2000 teams averaged just under

14 3.0 attempts per game. This year teams are averaging 37 3.0 attempts per game. This is the start of the day. Stad of the day brought to you by Petini America, the official trading cards of the damn Patrick show. Yes, Seton. 130 points in they lost? Yes, I had 25 games. At last count. Wow, did you think it would be more? No, I thought it would be like 120.

“Maybe if you score 120 points, you should win the game 130 points and lose the game 25 times.”

I think somebody lost 150 to 147. Now we've had some double overtime games, but yeah, I'm looking at the numbers here. And unless Google is failing me, but yeah, I got 131 34 137 134 132 136 138 132 155 133

there might be more might be close to 30 times. Yes, Todd. And you only have yourself to blame in the

“sport of basketball. You're playing offense and defense. It's not like the NFL. It's like we”

scored all these points. I was still losing what's going on at the start of the ball. Yes, Paul. I went back and looked at this and all goes back to Steph Curry. Steph Curry in 2014 before he had his breakout season NBA teams attempted 17 actually checked that 213's per game 213's attempted per game in 2013. Four years later, it was 323's attempted per game. Every other stat is the same. Generally shots per game, fouls per game, shooting percentage, everything else is

generally the same. Well, if you're looking back in 2000, there's eight possessions more per team

per game. So that's a lot. Yes, Marvin. It's kind of like the ravens at the beginning of last football

season where the score of 40 points in losing. Like, come on, you can't score that many points in a professional setting in lose. pathetic. Well, I feel bad for a band out of bio. It's like how dare you. How dare you score 83 points. But, you know, and some of the dance brought this up yesterday that this might be more about Kobe being beloved. If LeBron had scored 81, and bam out of bio scored 83, I don't think people would have nearly the problem. Because

“LeBron's not beloved, Kobe is beloved. And I think because of that, it's like, you know,”

bam, why didn't you stop at 81? I think if Kobe were alive and able to ask that question, what would you have wanted him to do? I'm going to guess Kobe would probably say, go for it. Knowing Kobe's mentality, but can't speak for him, but having, you know, the number of conversations we've had with him on the show, he was to shark. It's full speed ahead. And go for it. Also, when will score to 100? Has anybody looked at the next lineup? Has anybody looked at the

next big men guarding him? The next were one of the worst teams. The Raptors weren't any good when they were facing Kobe. It's like, let's just be fair to the entire picture, the totality of what bam out of bio did, what he accomplished. And, yes, the wizards are bad. The nicks were bad, back in 1962. But nobody brings that up. Nobody brings up that will was chasing 100 points. Yes, Martin. And the fact that Kobe's no longer here with us makes it even worse. If he was here,

he may have been able to call off the dogs and maybe send out a tweet or even send like a personal message like they're doing like the scoreboard after a gamer whenever. And so now that he's no longer here, it makes it even worse. That's the thing about people passing away early, especially entertainers, where it's like he would have won it this. Well, we don't know what he would have won it. And so now you're speaking for him. Yeah, Jordan sent just a congratulations to him. But he didn't

say, hey, congrats, you made a mockery of, you know, the sport in the last month or last, I wouldn't have been very nice to do. Not probably not. But you know how Jordan is, you know, that's a surprise. He didn't. It kind of poke you a little bit. Hey, congratulations on three legitimate quarters that you played. Yes, Paul. I do wonder though, if we had Kobe Bryant on yesterday and you asked him about that fourth quarter, he'd be polite and congratulatory. But I

think he may also say, did it feel like a basketball game? Did it feel like a competition? Because his was a competition. I could see him maybe taking a little line like that. Maybe. Maybe. But this is one of BAM's idols growing up. And then you surpassed. It's not even the

record. That's the amazing part. It's the second best scoring game of all time. Now people were

saying, well, you know, if you take away free throws, how many points? You know, where would he rank all time? I like, but you can't take away free throws. You know, when we'll score to 100, he had 32

“free throws. He made 28. But, you know, you should 43. I mean, it's embarrassing that there were”

that many fouls called. At some point, at some point, I had a former official, say this to me yesterday. At some point, I know they're making a mockery of it. And I am going to make a mockery of it as well. I'm not calling all of these fouls. Because you know what's happening here. And then you're just going to say, I'm not going to let you just keep fouling or get fouls and make this about the free throw line. Now, that's a former official saying that. Yes, pulling. I do have that

stat. A network posted this yesterday. If you remove free throws, who's the had the greatest scoring

highest scoring game in NBA history. All right, Seaton. You got, yes, Marvin. It's since

Kobe doesn't play anymore. I forgot how Kobe stands are. And they were out in, oh, they were mad. Oh, they were mad. Imagine if he surpassed Michael Jordan in a game. Oh, I'm sorry. You can't do that. Oh, I got like it. Yes. How you're going to be when they realize where Kobe's last 12 points of

“that came from? Oh, from the free throw line? I don't know. We should look it up. I think a considerable”

number of those were one point. That's good. Oh, I know. Who knew? Who knew? You could, you could have this kind of accomplishment and you could set people off, man. All right. So I have a whole question. Our good buddy Ross Tucker will join us. That Max Crosby situation is shady at best. And then the GM for the Ravens, Eric DeCosta said, well, we were looking at bringing in tray Hendricks and Max Crosby. Okay. Also, Kyler Murray set to, I believe meet with the Vikings today.

Doesn't sound like there's another suitor for him, but I think it's the right place for him. I thought the colds maybe if they didn't go in with Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones is the new Kurt Cousins.

It's like, how did he get that contract? But he did coming off an injury paying in $44 million a

“year. All right. We'll take a break. We'll get phone calls coming up. We'll settle on a poll question.”

Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first bachelor to ever have

his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it

“all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines?”

It began as a one night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract agreed to date me, but I'm also suing you. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said she said and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. I'm done nothing to get rid of the

f*** rat slur. Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guilt season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun. He tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified

I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people

“knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. Listen to burden of guilt season 2”

on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Motherhood and releasing our first record in over 10 years. We talk about what it's taken to

grow up in the entertainment industry and stay grounded through every chapter. It's a raw and honest conversation about identity, evolution, and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family like this picture and that's not reality a lot of the time it's for people. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life and I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app,

Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. World Baseball Classic Italy helped out team USA

roughing up Mexico, and now it's team USA versus Canada on Friday Italy faces Puerto Rico.

Wow, I don't think Canada would accept this as a substitute that you lost the gold medal to Team USA. If you beat Team USA in baseball, you'd be like, okay, we'd still rather have the victory over Team USA in hockey, but Canada, Team USA, and then you have Italy and Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. See what's the poll question then we'll get to Ross Tucker on the program. Do you believe that the Ravens were trying to pair Tray Henderson and Max Krosby together? Yes or

no? Here is the Ravens GM Eric DeCosta talking about that. In terms of Tray, we came to a point

“probably after we lost Tyler, where as we're trying to find the best way for us to get”

better as a football team, Tray kind of made a lot of sense as a possible guy to look at. So we started some discussions with he and his agent, thinking that potentially we'd have two past rushers on the defensive line both sides of the line. Again, I think it was disappointing to us and probably in a way, you know, disappointing probably to Tray as well. It's a lot of money that you're going to tie up in two guys who have been injured. I just can't imagine Max Krosby flies there.

You sit down with them. All of a sudden they tell you to your face, hey, we're going to go in a different direction. What do you mean like three four and set of four three or four three instead of a three? What? No, we're going to go in a different direction at edge. Oh, here's your plane ticket. And hey, we got some nice parting gifts here. Then he goes back to the Raiders, goes into the facility yesterday. His swipe card still works. Apparently, could you imagine walking around? You're going

to, hey, Tommy. Hey, Max, what what would he been up to? Oh, not much. Hey, any trips? Well, I went to Baltimore, but not for a long period of time. But hey, it's great to be back. It's great to see

“you, Max. Oh, man, let's bring in Ross Tucker, our good buddy. Ross, what do you make of this situation?”

Well, first of all, Dan, I've been in that situation before that Max was in. So you got the right guy today.

We're in the right guy yesterday too, Fritzie, but you got the right guy today. Wow, bumped him for Diana Rossini. He's kicking it. Wow, I didn't know you got bumped. Okay. Well, yeah, no, it's only been like 10 years. I thought Fritzie and I were like friends or whatever. Like, I, you know, I come on pretty much every week, whenever Fritzie asks. But I guess if Diana Rossini needs to move it, I get bumped. I don't know. Okay. Well, Ron Ross, let me let Fritzie at least have a word here.

It was less of a bump more of a reschedule. What happens was Diana was, you know, working the phones and doing her thing. And she initially thought she had to come on earlier than something changed with who she needed to speak with and then she had to make it later. And Ross was in the final hour. And we thought it would wouldn't serve the show best to have them on top of each other as back to back in, if I'll guess, covering a lot of the same topics. So we rescheduled, not bumped,

Ross to today. And we had an extra data promoted. And that's really how I see it. And I hope

damn what happened is Diana Rossini was tri-hendric. And I was max crawls. And Fritzie is the Ravens. I'm a terrible person. No, I will say this though. This is for you guys to love this.

Okay. 2007, I was a free agent. The first day of free agent said I went to the redskins and they

offered me a very modest contract. Of course, modest signing bonus, past the physical, the whole deal. Then I fly to Atlanta. And in a downtown Atlanta hotel, the next day we get picked up in a limo. It's just me and Joe Horn. Joe Horn is going to sign for over $10 million a year. I guess they had to limo anyways. So they let me ride in it. And we went to the doctor's office in downtown Atlanta. You know, we get the MRI, we get the whole deal, the scan, we meet with the doctors,

we get back in the limo. The limo's not moving. We're in the limo outside. The limo's not moving.

“All was on the limo door opens up. And some guy from the Falcon says, Ross, can you come here?”

I said, okay, I get out of the limo. And he's like, I'm Anthony blah, blah, blah. You failed your

physical. We're going to take you back to the airport. That was it. I never even made it to flowery

branch the Falcon's facility. Never talked to the coach, Bobby Petrino or the GM or anybody. I just went right back to the airport while I'm in this guy's car. I call my agent. I'm like, tell the red skins we accept. So I actually know what it's like to fail a physical. That's evidence that one team can pass you and another team can't. And that was my experience with it. I already been cut several times. A little different than Max Crosby. But yes, that is the, it was not much

of a conversation was we're taking you back to the airport now.

“Do the Ravens have to tell Max Crosby what part of him, you know, why do you fail that physical?”

That is an amazing question. That's the best question I've heard yet. And the answer is no,

because I called the Falcon's trainer because, listen, I already played six years. I was 28 years old. I wanted to know what they saw. Like what, why did you guys found me on the physical? And they started talking about things. I'm like, that's not true. Like, I don't have that. And then they got another guy on the phone is like, listen, Ross, you had disk surgery at multiple levels. We see some chronic, whatever. Like, we're not taking that chance. Now, I thought, okay,

but that's a awesome question, Dan. Why you're the best interviewer because they don't have to tell you. But I wanted to know for my own edification, like for the rest of the shot is not playing anymore. If it's so bad, I fail a physical. Maybe I shouldn't keep playing football. Yeah, I'm just trying to sort through this. And I really came to the realization yesterday. That maybe this was just buyer's remorse. That the Ravens making a move, giving up two first round

picks. And then going, we got to pay him that kind of money. Is he going to want to contract extension? We got to redo Lamar's contract. So it felt like they, maybe the reality said in of, do we need to do this? Because this is an awful lot. Why don't we just sign somebody who's not is good for a little less money? And we don't have to give up two first round draft picks and

“tray Hendrickson? Well, I would say that in talking with some people in the NFL, that's what most people”

believe happened. And what I think is so fascinating about it is my initial reaction was, why don't we go ahead and check the phone records? Did you, did you call tray Hendrickson before Crosby got there? Was it after Crosby got there? But I think the Ravens are one step ahead of me and everybody else by saying, oh no, we were trying to get them both because if anybody checked and anybody did research or talked to tray Hendrickson or his agent or looked at phone records,

they clearly were talked with him before then. And so I don't know, I'm kind of with you and on the poll question, I would say, I don't, I mean, do I believe that the Ravens might have had a dream of having both Hendrickson and Crosby, yes? Do I think that they thought that was realistic? Absolutely not. That when there's all these other teams out there, like the bills and the bears and the cult and the Eagles or whoever looking for an edge russia, do I think that the Ravens thought

it was realistic that they could get two and those other teams get zero? No, I don't. I think

they did get virus remorse. Is that totally bogus, is that totally BS or hey, is this just business

“and they realized this was a better decision and business is business? I think reasonable minds”

can disagree on that. Talking to Ross Tucker, CBS Sports Westwood, one NFL college football analyst and host of Ross Tucker football podcast, follow him on social media at Ross Tucker NFL. What are the raiders do now? Well, that's interesting. Fortunately for them, they still have the money to take Max back. You know, they're absolutely going to listen. They trade him once. I think if they get an offer that they're still comfortable with,

that they would still move him. I think now, you know, whether it's Max's doctor, the raiders' doctors, there's a lot going on out there kind of like a he said she said about

“what's really going on with Max's knee. This might be something where the raiders revisit it”

around the draft. It might be something then where they revisit it in July when they know he can pass a physical, they know he'll be cleared and then the team that would be trading for him. Number one would be taking on less risk and number two, the draft choices that they would trade wouldn't have to be until 2027. So on some level, you know, you can be a team where you still take your first round pick in 26, but then maybe still get Max's cause. I don't think that this is the

end of it. I'd say it's 50, 50, whether Crosby plays for the raiders or not this year. If I had to bet on flipping that coin, I would bet he still goes somewhere else for a little bit less than what the ravens offered. Kind of a Murray, it feels like all signs point towards Minnesota. Tell me why this works and why it might not work. Well, it might not work for the same reason.

It's never totally worked with Kyla Murray and that's because of his incredible inconsistency.

You know, you would think after seven years that you have a pretty good idea of what you're going to get from a player on a weekend and a week out basis, that is not the case with Kyla and that's really, really tough for any organization, any coaching staff, you know, even like Kirk Cousins, you kind of know what he is and what you're going to get with Kyla Dan, it's like a week to week deal. I mean, there are weeks where and I don't know if it's his preparation or he doesn't adjust

as well if the defense is not what he was expecting. But there are weeks where he looks as good as anybody. He can play an MVP caliber level. He can put the team on his back and play awesome. There's also weeks where he's a bottom 10 quarterback. He's very rarely in the middle.

“He's easily either really hot and plays really well or really poor. I think Kevin O'Connell”

believes he's seen enough of the really hot days that he can get Kyla to play with more consistency. This whole deal, more Kyla, is reportedly talking with three to five teams today, about 20, 27 and doing zooms with them is fascinating. He's basically saying, I'm going to go do what Sam Darnall did. I'm going to have a great year for the Vikings. What would your interest

level be next year after I do this? I mean, I've never heard of this before, but obviously it's a

pretty big bet for the Vikings. They just fired their GM. You know, they're already seemingly throwing the towel in on JJ McCarthy. I mean, they got to make it work with Kyla Murray. Otherwise, there might be more changes in Minnesota. How often in your career would you ever question the work ethic of your quarterback? Very, very rarely, very rarely. And if you did, it's a major problem. I mean, that's a terrific point because the day as soon as the Cardinals front office in a meeting

said, okay, let's give them this massive deal. But we got to make sure he's preparing. I know it's

100 million guaranteed. But let's put something in there where he has to do four hours of homework

the $100 million. You can't do that. People don't change that much. People kind of are what they

“are. You know, I played with Brady, absolute psycho when it came to preparation. You know,”

most of the other guys I was around. You didn't have to question them in that regard. Interestingly, you know, I've had Steelers guys tell me that early in Ben's career. He was kind of the last guy to get their first guy to leave. And they still had that much success. And he still had that much success. That would seem to me to be very, very rare. And the issue for a guy like Kyler, if you've ever seen his high school highlights, it's the craziest thing you've ever seen. So when

you're in 10th grade and you're basically the state player of the year in Texas at the highest level,

you never lose a game for three years. And college, you win the high of the number one pick,

he's never really had to do it. You know, he's always been able to play it a really high level without doing it. Maybe this is the wake-up call, or maybe O'Connell can just put him in a situation where he can excel without maybe being as much of a student of the game as some of the other guys are. Great to see it. And great to talk to you. And I feel really bad that Fritzie did this to you. And if you would like for me to suspend him or fire him, then I'll you just say the word, Rossi.

“No, I think that's a little harsh. I think I'll probably feel better about it by next week.”

I'm just a little hurt. I'm just a little hurt. So I was not going to say no, though,

because of how I feel about you and Pauli in sheeten and Marvin. Wow. But as of laced in Fritzie, I mean, within the last month, Fritzie thought I was doing the Super Bowl in London. And now he bumps me because his tech said Diana is more attractive than you. We want to go with her. And that's the part that really hurt me. And I'm going to back Fritzie on that. Yes, yes, Pauli. You know, Ross, you could look at this the other way. You are the one and only

featured guests on today's show. Your own stage? I know my mom texted me and said it's the best guest lip Fritzie. Thank you, Ross. Sorry, Ross. Big guys. Ross Tucker, Ross Tucker football podcast. That dude is the foul him on social media at Ross Tucker NFL. Fritzie taken some early shots here today. So he didn't do the Super Bowl for one. He was actually, no, he's in San Francisco. Yeah, there he goes. He was actually out there. I thought he was a little studio somewhere.

And England. Thank you, Todd. Yeah, see. I mean, I am impressed with your ability to be like, I had no idea. Well, I'm sorry that Todd did that to you. I didn't have any idea. No idea. This was the restuffling. I had no idea. Todd, you're better than that. All I know is I saw that Ross Tucker was on the rundown. And then I saw that he wasn't. And then I knew Rossini was going to change places. And I didn't know kind of what the correspondence was there with you and Ross Tucker.

“But obviously, that's a big man who hurts today. Is your alter ego named Eric DeCosta?”

You're like, hey, we wanted them both. We should have wanted to bring in both sceney end and Tucker one segment. Let's pair them up. I'm sorry. I don't get all the communication, you know. We we started to change some of the responsibilities here on the Dan Patrick show. So I don't get all of the information. Big Rio or Gazeera. Ready? Yeah. Yes. Yes. But that's a dream. It wouldn't be realistic. I've both Diana and Ross in the same hour. And that's the same light of thing. And I already had it.

Well, we could have. We could have. We have the cap space would have been a little redundant. I think. No. Rich Eisen still hasn't forgiven you where you bumped in for Dan Bickley, the Arizona Republic. They'll have different levels of maturity. We have to go over. Yeah. If you're watching on peacock, you got to see Ross. He's listening in and he's smiling, and it seems like he's doing a little bit better. But we hope we hope it's a good weekend for you, Ross.

Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first bachelor to ever have his final

rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show? Made even bigger headlines. It began as a one night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very

“strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract.”

Agreed to date me, but I'm also suing you. We're such smart. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before.

I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said cheese said

and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. I'm done nothing to get pranked by the f****** bachelor. Listen to Love Trapped on the iHard Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the burden of guilt season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpride became the victim of a random crime.

“He pulls the gun. Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified to mean Hudson as the perpetrator.”

Germain was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, "Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistake in identity." The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to burden of guilt season 2 on the iHard Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. About identity, evolution and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family like this

picture and that's not reality a lot of the time it's for people. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life and I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to on purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHard Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Italy and the A.

It's courtesy of Sirius XM MLB Network Radio, Vinnie, and 424 career games in the major leagues all

with the Royals has 70 career home runs. He's never hit three home runs in a major league baseball game.

So now you have the knockout round. Now you have Italy and Puerto Rico on Saturday and then tomorrow night, Team USA versus Canada. Once again, this is it, you win, you advance, you lose,

and you go home. Canada, here you go, little payback. Yes, Marvin. With the World Baseball Classic watching the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and Vinnie Swayla, I'm an immediately baseball at this type of energy during those games, because it is unlike anything I've ever seen. It is for baseball, which is for most people, a pretty boring sport, but

Look at you. Against the grain, all right. Was it against the grain?

“But they're pretty, you're calling out, you're calling out. You're calling out the commissioner, I think”

is what you just did. Sorry, Rob, I didn't mean to do that. You're calling out somebody. It's commissioner two years on Rob, Rob. The commissioner. Hey, Bob. Oh, is it? Hey, Bob, I don't know what's up. Chris and Syracuse. Hi, Chris, what's on your mind? Hey, thanks. Ben here a couple of things for you. SGA tonight goes for his 127th Street game with 20 points or more, which would break

a Wiltshire record that stood for over a half a century. And you think about all the great players, Michael Cole, we LaBron Bird, and even great scores, like George, Ice Manguravan, and that record is stood for over 60 years as unreal. And awful people complaining about the amount of BAM's foul shots on Tuesday night. Since SGA averages the most foul shots in the league this year,

you point out yesterday day. Dan, with that somehow diminishes amazing accomplishment. I mean,

if he does get the records tonight, and also in those 127 games, I'm sure the thunder in some cases kept SGA and the floor a little longer than they needed to reach 20 points. And I'm sure a lot of sports records over the years were helped along. And in BAM's case, late in the game, the wits are sure we're going out of their way to stop them by triple team in them. And yet,

“they have earned those 83. Yeah, I think guys in my age bracket get a little more cynical,”

the longer that you're in this business. I'm choosing to celebrate this. If SGA gets 20 points, if he has to struggle to get 20 points, he still got 20 points. BAM out of BIO getting 83. I don't care how you got 83, you got 83. It just feels like, you know, anything with social media is well, we have to tear it down. We're not building up, we're tearing down. And when it comes to sports, there aren't that many moments that we truly celebrate together. It's like, well, but

I mean, I was really surprised at the the outcry from former players and broadcasters journalist, wow, it was, I thought very myopic that you're just going, can we, can we, at least celebrate the three quarters performance of BAM out of BIO? We at least give him that. And it wasn't even for the whole time record. Yeah, pulling. Taking a lot of free throws in a game isn't like a new

thing. SGA is 30 second all time. He averages 7.25 3.5 heel goal attempts. I'm sorry,

free throw attempts per game. We'll Chamberlain's number one all time. Bob Pettett number two, Jerry West is four. Oscar Robertson is eight. Adrian Danley is nine. Elgin Baylor is 10. Those of the guys who took the most free throws of all time. Eric and Salt Lake. Hi Eric, what's on your mind this morning? Was that Dan long time, fourth time? Hard. 200. So I'm a BAM supporter. Definitely not a BAM hater and all of us. With that said, it feels like over the past couple

days, some of Wiltsa accomplishments have been poo pooed because they happen a long time ago. I stayed up last night just because the algorithm showed me some of his track and field stuff. The same way that man is an athletic specimen in the capacity that Victor Wemben Yaman is. If Victor ever has a hundred point of game, we kind of can't celebrate it if we're not going to celebrate Wilts. The things that he was able to do with that frame, with that body,

whooping doesn't get easier, that much bigger you get, with that much weight and that much strength.

“So I think go BAM and you know go Kobe to recipes, but what Wilts did, it's one of one.”

And I don't think it should be knocked down because they won't keep the stats back then. Yeah, but they do that to him. Man, I still don't know why. Because we celebrate Babe Ruth, there wasn't even integration back then. Wilts just played who was ever in front of him and he dominated just about everybody. It's because he didn't dominate Bill Russell when it came to winning championships.

It's somehow disparages or reduces his legacy. He's like a myth. It's like it didn't really happen. Now Pat, I had my friend who we went to the Lakers Royal Cincinnati Royal's game and I got Jerry West autograph and I got, I got everybody's autograph but Wilts and Wilts came out because they lost the game. He got in the bus sat in the first seat and I'm outside with two of my friends.

And I said, I'll never see Wilts Chamberlain again. And so I stepped onto the bus and Wilts

I said he told me to get the F off the bus. Oh, that's awesome. What is it?

One hour in the books two more to go. Seaton Fritzi, Mark Paulier's truly back after this. I'm Clayton Eckard in 2022. I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor.

“But here's the thing. Bachelors fans hated him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would.”

That's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one night stand would end in a courtroom.

The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. A great a date mean, but I'm also so seeing you. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before.
