What does today's abbreviated show cover?
Bob, we have an abbreviated show today. How about that? Only an hour and a half, and I don't remember. If we're going to do a six-pack today, my friend, I don't remember a six-pack with more big stories in it than this one. This is absolutely incranculant. It's incorpulent. You look like a living ad for L.L. Bean today, Bob. You have a checkered flannel shirt on, a vest that looks like you're going fly fishing.
This is a golf shirt. This is unbelievable. It's made by Peter Millar. Who's he? Peter Millar is one of the great golf... Is he related to Peter Scudra? Do you remember him, Bob? I do remember Scudra. You'd love this material for golf. You could wear it golfing, actually. I think I will. And then these vests are great from Heinz Healy, so... They got a lot of good stuff. Anyway, I think we have to put on our investigative hats here today on two fronts. Number one, this whole situation with Max Crosby. And number two, later, if we get a chance, bam, add a bio. We will do all of that and more.
None of that makes sense to me. And we have maybe the biggest story of all coming out of the World Baseball Classic. Well, probably not. It's probably Max Crosby and now Trey Hendrickson.
Well, DeRosa, the manager, has some explaining to do.
There's nothing to explain. He's just an idiot. Okay, let's start with Max Crosby, however. No relation to Sidney. Thank goodness.
Limits, you doing well today? I am doing okay after what I watched last night baseball-wise, but we'll get to that.
We'll get to that. First, okay, here we go. Max Crosby got traded to the Ravens, and they've backed out of the deal. They put out a tweet yesterday. We backed out of the deal.
And it came from the Raiders, who didn't say failed physical. The Raiders said.
I thought the Ravens themselves put out a tweet. The Ravens put out a tweet saying we backed out of the deal.
Backed out is the thing. That's the key two words, I think. Backed out.
Well, that's what happened.
What is the latest on Max Crosby's trade situation?
They said he didn't pass his physical, and now they're signing Trey Hendrickson, according to everybody in the world.
Correct, Bob? Correct. For four years, $112 million. But it's funny, less than 24 hours after all this happens, he signs because he had no shortage of suitors. Yeah. And... This also becomes fishy to me because if you're the Dallas Cowboys or the Chicago Bears who are willing to make offers to get Max Crosby, they may have brought him in and just let him pass the physical. And the reason I say that is because he just had surgery. Everyone knows you can't rehab from surgery to a meniscus in three weeks or four weeks.
What an unbelievable move by the Ravens. It truly is here. He comes in for his physical. He didn't pass it, according to them. And yeah, now you see Hendrickson's price drop. And so they get to keep their picks. Apparently they put the Raiders in a horrible bind and now they get Trey Hendrickson. What a move by the Ravens here, Bob, right?
Yeah, if it goes unchecked by the commissioner and the NFL in general, I still think there's something very fishy about it. But what it does to the Raiders, and this is why they have to check it as well, the Raiders committed $280 million over the last couple of days into contracts because they had a lot of money to spend, right? So now they have to bring Crosby back. They've already spent probably the money that he's going to make. And it affects their cap. It also affects any value they may have moving forward of gaining in a trade for Max Crosby. Yeah. Because I don't think any other team is going to offer... Well, who cares about the Raiders? I don't. It's not the point. They're in the league, and you have to look at the way they did business.
The Ravens I'm talking about.
Are we sure that the Ravens did something wrong here? Now, Diana Rossini says it's been made clear by multiple people around the NFL at all levels that Baltimore... Had all the information and understood where Max Crosby's knee was in terms of his recovery timeline. Okay. Where his knee was, he had a torn meniscus. I think I mentioned that.
