Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk to Michael Wilbon about Maddie Fitzpatrick,

winning the Hilton Head tournament, also about the first games of the NBA playoffs.

Then we'll talk to Mark Fein-Sand about what's going on with the Mets can't be good. But first,

commerce. Previously, on the Tony Kornheiser show.

I think I'll get an invite again, but I don't know.

It just was everything coming together, coming out of COVID, massive soccer fan, all of this.

And now I'm just like, I look at the mail every single day, hoping the invite comes again,

and here we are in 2026.

So this is five years ago.

I thought maybe this was just recently.

This was...

Oh, no, no, no.

I'll tell you right now, I'll quit my job if I get the invite.

Okay.

The Tony Cornizer show is on now.

Such a great story by Taylor Twelman.

That was fun.

From Jason Poulin. Not Andy Polly.

Jason Poulin, not the pitcher for the... The pitcher? Not the pitch for the Nats either.

From Sudbury, Ontario and Canada. My life has been consumed by football for over 30 years.

I've always had time for hockey and baseball, but football is my passion, basketball, soccer, or, bah. PTI has always been in my rotation, especially during football season, but I still found it digestible when I had to endure months of no football coverage. Baseball fills the gap, and your fleeting coverage of hockey suits me just fine. The sole reason I tune in, of course, being you and Wilbon, making every second of your show enjoyable with your camaraderie humor, the obvious passion for your craft and the efficiency of the show. I found your podcast about two years ago. Not unlike PTI, the long span between football season is something I simply need to endure. I was curious as to how I'd absorb the hour-long format of your show without football. Let me just say it's been as easy as watching PTI. You've successfully captured the same energy, pace, humor, and efficiency of PTI. The woman whom I'm related by marriage has had to endure many. Tony was so funny today, followed by a who's Tony. Your show's last week's spotlighting baseball podcast, naming horses in the World Cup would normally have me heading for a darts tournament on the ESPN O. Show. However, your guests were informative, witty, and most of all excited to speak to you. I found myself appreciating the stories behind those sports more than the actual sport itself. Thank you for everything you and the team do for all of us. Tell Sherman Oil, Nike, and the Nats Bowlpen to eat it. It's a lovely thing. Very lovely. It captures the show.

This is more personal what I'm going to read now. This is from Joe Pearson in Indianapolis.
