         HOUR 1

            Josh Childress signed a 3 year contract worth $20 million after taxes with a Greek professional team.  Could he be starting a trend of NBA players going to compete overseas?  The guys who weren’t good enough to make a NBA team used to go to Europe.  Childress is the first player that could have gotten a solid contract and been a contributor with a NBA franchise to switch countries. 

            Training camp is here.  Are there any players the Cardinals could add?  Daunte Culpepper is still out there, Roc wouldn’t mind seeing him as a Redbird.  Manuch doesn’t see how that makes sense.  They already have Leinart and Warner; he doesn’t see much room for another QB.

            Tee It Up with Steve Dahlby to close the first hour.  The trio went around the world of golf.

 

HOUR 2

            To start hour #2 we had Kent Somers, Cardinals beat writer from the Arizona Republic.  He informed us about the exciting first day of training camp for the Cards.  Anquan Boldin told reporters that he will no longer negotiate with the Birds.  He felt management lied and deceived him.  More to come on this story in the coming days.

            After Somers updated us on the Boldin situation, R&M gave their thoughts.  The Cardinals have Larry Fitzgerald, who had four really good games when Boldin was out.  After that their WR’s are unproven led by Steve Breaston and 3^rd round pick Early Doucet.  The guys discussed if they should try and move Boldin?  He is under contract for another 3 years.

 

HOUR 3

          Today’s Home Town Report featured Oklahoma City’s Jim Traber.  They discussed Oklahoma’s new NBA franchise, the University of Oklahoma football team, and Jim’s alma mater Oklahoma State.

            Q School with Qadry Ismail was up next.  Roc and Manuch challenged Q to bring a better guest than Fergie, which Jamal Anderson put on Calling All Sports with Roc and Manuch.  R&M and Qadry also talked about the Anquan Boldin contract dispute, which was clearly the big story of the day.
