Tonight MLB plays at Rickwood and it was meant to honor Mays who sadly died a few days ago. (19:30) Monty Williams got fired by the Detroit Pistons after one season. The Pistons now owe Monty $65 million. I cannot believe it. (27:30) The Boston Celtics won the title. Did you watch? Did you care? (35:30) Review: Goodfellas. (42:40) Are the Panthers going to blow a 3-0 lead? Is this really about to happen? (48:00) What is happening with the Chiefs and Royals with Kansas? Is Missouri going to lose both teams?
