Welcome to Extra Points.

Now here's your host, Cousin Sal, and his pal, Dave Damasek.

All right, welcome to the Extra Points podcast.

Cousin Sal coming to you with his good, good pal, Dave Damashick, Hill producer, Jim Cunningham, babyface Joel Solomon. We're all here, Dave. It's probably listening to this on Thursday, April Fool's Day. It's funny. I play jokes all year. And April Fool's like the day I take off. I play pranks on people. But yeah, I step aside.

Good for you. I love that, Sal. That's perfect. That's like most people, like, you know, when I was

22, I would take off New Year's Eve or maybe more like 25 because I realized amateur hour.

You know, I'm not, that let all the the jerks have their fun for one day. I dominate the 364 otherwise.

Good for you.

That does make a ton of sense for you.

Well, someone's not playing my game, though, because I feel like someone, I wasn't going

to talk about this.

And I'm like, what the hell?

I got the shot.

And I am feeling like, shit.

This is the COVID, the COVID shot I'm talking about.

Oh, okay. The vaccination. I got poked. I, you know what? I saw the line. I was like, how old are you? The woman's like, 73. I'm like, get the, get behind me. I'm going ahead of you. I just jumped a lie. I just did whatever I want. And so I got the shot. And now, ironically, and maybe it an April Fool's prank by Mother Nature or whoever

I am the sickest I've ever been or at least the sickest I've been this year. So here we go.

I may let you talk for an hour. I may let you do an hour on the penguin's shorthanded line

if you want. Well, listen, everything feels upside down all of a sudden. The, the, uh, the sabers beat the flyers breaking. What is it? 17 games, 18 games. I've been riding, uh, against the sabers, 18 games. And the flyers, that, they, they barely survived the sabers a few nights ago. And then they actually did get got this time.

The Celtics not looking good lately. They lost at home now to the halves and, and so on and so forth. So I guess that, uh, just keep talking. I'm going to let you, you got the, you got an hour. I'm going to let you go. No. I like you couldn't even you couldn't even give it half a beat before you had to interrupt it

because people are reaching for the, for the stop button on the, on the podcast. Like, we're not no, just joking. Dave is not going to talk. I'm not, I'm not joking at all. I guess there is some stuff we have to get to. The final four is set. It's Baller in Houston. Beller is a five-point favorite on Fandle, Gonzaga, a 14-point favorite, the largest since 1985, largest Final Four spread over UCLA. That over under is 145 and a half. Let's just talk about the games. Well, I think it's...

Well, you do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I know. I'm sorry. I'll pick it up.
