Summary
Mike and Rico stick to two main topics throughout the first show of the week today: The Pistons' season being over and GM Troy Weaver somehow still having a job following a brutal stretch since he took over, and what Javier Báez had to say in response to a question about Tigers' fans boos. They take PLENTY of your calls and read even more ticket texts on both topics. The guys also mix in a couple of NFL Draft-themed "In Football Today" segments and discuss the uptick in arm injuries for MLB pitchers.

| 0:46.3 | want it to look semi-professional let's at least have a bagel together |
| 0:49.9 | and then I'll put a bullet in. |
| 0:52.3 | So I just I want to ask this question. |
| 0:55.3 | At 2.03 in the afternoon, Rico, Lamar Beard, |
| 0:59.1 | give me one reason, credible reason Troy Weaver is still here. |
| 1:04.0 | It's the most obvious firing ever. |
