Introduction 

 

(02:38)

ESPN host and HBO Boxing reporter Michelle Beadle is on the show breaking down the long-awaited  “Fight of the Century” between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.  Beadle covers all aspects of the May 2 spectacle including the ticket sales fiasco, shady payday for the fight’s ref and judges, what it’s like sitting down with Pacquiao and famed trainer Freddie Roach, criticism of the way Katie Couric handled the topic of domestic violence during her interview of Mayweather, the best part of working in Vegas and more! 

 

(27:50)

Two years after the devastating bombing of the Boston Marathon, we remember not only where we were on that day in 2013, but also why the Boston Marathon is such a special, one of a kind event.  You, the listeners, call in with your Marathon Monday memories.  

 

(41:26)

Last but not least…It’s the NBA Playoffs, which can mean only one thing.  Pat Riley is trolling LeBron James and we love it!  

 

(44:19)

Last but not least… It’s the NHL Playoffs, which can mean only one thing.  Players are fighting on the ice while hockey fans are fighting in the stands and I hate it! 

 

(48:26)

Last but not least… Sports broadcaster Alex Flanagan’s masterfully crafted plea for logic, sanity and decency in regards to colleagues Britt McHenry and Shelley Smith.
