Chapter 1: What mispronunciation did Chris Russo make this time?
One more quick doll clip for you, and I promise we'll leave it alone after that. Latest mispronunciation as he was breaking down Sweden's Olympic profile ahead of face-off against the U.S. yesterday.
Just like the NHL doesn't receive in the postseason. They were bracketed with the U.S. They won a game yesterday against Lativa, Latvia. I hate that he corrected it right away, but Lativa. Lativa sounds like one of those drug commercials. By once a day, Lativa.
It might be a drug, actually, now that you say it. I feel like I've seen that commercial.
Do you have moderate to severe rectal bleeding? Well, try Lativa. Ask your doctor about once a day Lativa. And you can get back to your normal life.
Tuesday, he had a guy on breaking down the 1980 documentary that just came out. Might be the same guy you had on.
Was it the- Mark Jardy?
No, different guy. Anyway, talking about the Soviet Union, he kept saying Soviets all day. Soviets, not Soviets. The Soviets. The Soviets, which was a little strange. All right, I mentioned this last hour. So Evan and Marash going at it yesterday on the Midday Show.
And I guess this stemmed from a call that they got Tuesday, which had to do with callers saying that Evan is too hard on the Yankees and how, I guess, you know, defensively they're not built to win the championship. And Evan was like, no, no, no, quite the opposite. Because if you look back to when the Yankees were at their peak up the middle, Posada, Jeter, Bernie Williams, not great defenders.
Right. So they were criticizing him for getting on the old guard Yankees. Now, if you go after Jeter, it gets under Marash's skin. So flash forward to yesterday, and I guess Marash brought it up comparing Jeter to Omar Vizquel defensively, and there was a bit of a standoff here.

Chapter 2: What sparked the argument between Evan and Morash about 90s shortstops?
All right, so there you go. Well, Cal Ripken's my friend. I'll go out there and punch him right in the face.
All right.
How about that? All right, so this leads me to this clip being posted to our socials, including Instagram. All right? Oh. So the back and forth ends up on Instagram. And then as Marash noted on Twitter, I won't say the guy's name yet, but the person who commented, who's a... It's a name.
So so-and-so, probably on a toilet at some point today, watched Evan Roberts and me bicker about shortstop in the 90s and chose to comment on it. And when I first saw that, I was like, this can't really be the guy, but it's a verified account. Somehow this clip of our midday guys debating Jeter and Omar Vizquel ended up on Manny Ramirez's plate.
And he dove in in the comment section first with the fire emoji. And then, don't even think about it, Omar is the best shortstop in the big leagues. And then I guess someone responded to him, to which he replied, it's not close. Greatest defensive shortstop ever.
Yeah, sorry to break it to you. Not Manny Ramirez. One of Tom Izzo's burner accounts, actually. Come on.
No, no.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We were joking about that. No, it wasn't Manny Ramirez. No, it was. It was a verified account.
I mean, that is... How does that even happen? Someone in Manny's world... Algorithms.

Chapter 3: Who does Manny Ramirez think is the best shortstop?
I've got the cachet or the equity and all that. And he's like, I'm done with that. I'm done with that.
And when he means I'm done with that, I'm done begging the students to come to the games.
Yes. So Tuesday, the UConn men's basketball Twitter account puts out this video of Hurley out on the practice floor screaming at his team, and then he kind of takes an aside with a message for the fans.
Dive on it! Rally the ball silently! We'll get ready, guys. Students, we need you tomorrow night. Students, fans, we need you tomorrow night. We need Gampel to be rocking.
Chapter 4: What was the reaction to Manny Ramirez's comment on Instagram?
We need Gampel to be rocking. We need this to be the best atmosphere of college basketball tomorrow night because we all deserve it because we're the best little capital of the world here. Storrs, Connecticut, let's go.
So he said he was done, then he wasn't? So it makes a plea to the fans. It was Emeka Okafor's jersey retirement night, just the third UConn men's player to have his jersey retired. And then they go out and they lose to Creighton, 91-84. So here's Hurley after the game, turning the attention to his team that he basically says can't guard anyone.
Our defense has just been so bad. These last four games, I think we've been around 165th best defense in the country. We've been playing with fire with this. Obviously, overall defense, dreadful. Dreadful there, and then later on saw this coming. This has been brewing for us just based on what the defenses look like. The defense has been a joke.
A joke, okay, and better get it cleaned up fast.
That's what's been going on the last couple games. Teams, coaches are smart. They're targeting our guys that can't guard. And if we can't fix that, you know, we're going to obviously have to move forward.
Actually, I think he sounds kind of measured and realistic about where his team is.
Yeah, but it's just interesting. Like the other night it was about, hey, there's not enough people here and we've got this great team and, you know, two national championships.
I mean, it looked like the student section showed up. I mean, I hope at some point he said, like, I appreciate you guys showing up.
He may have. But you can't lose to a team on your home court that's 14 and 13. Yeah. Right. That's the thing.
