Out the window on the lap of nascars biggest race. That was the case today. Danica patrick and greg biffle all smiles and biffle caused her to crash. Ken griffey , jr. Waving the green flag and not a good start for chase eliott and gets loose in turn 4 and car turned and the worst by a pole sitter. Lap 170 still earnhardt , jr. Flagged out into the wall into the dirt in field and finished 36. Fans, gosh darn it. Not happy. Danica patrick crash and trying to hold off biffle. Biffle had a tire failure earlier in the race and not a great sunday for him. Matt kenseth in the lead and wins it by. 1 of a second. The closest finish in race history. Hamlins 11th daytona 500th race and 27th victory in 366 nascar cup starts and he doesnt even know how he won. I dont know. I dont know where that came from or what happened and cant figure out what i did. It just came together and got the push from the ford. This wouldnt be possible if this wasnt toyota sticking together. We were able to capture the track position. Wish we could have won obviously and watch that on the highlight reel for the rest of my career. Today was a great day. We all want to win. This is competition. I would be lying if i said i didnt want to win. Two day as way from a full squad workout for reds in arizona. Many of the position players working back from injuries, pitchers and catchers were first to report at the end of last week and many dealing surgeries in the off season. Devon mesoraco and brad steinke has more from the desert. Reds decimated by injuries. Nine players underwent surgery and catcher Devon Mesoraco battled the bad hip for the first couple months of the season. Devon has been on the mend. All the hard work and rehab and ready to go once again. I would say um i am more anxious than typical and get out on the field and thats why i love to play and love the game and nice to get out of the training room and onto the field. Mesoraco looked great. He and Training Staff are making sure they dont rush him and no and want to make sure she is ready for the long hall. Brad steinke, local12 sports.

We will have results later in the show. Joined by brad redford and we will call this segment Lessons Learned. Yesterday there was a slate of them. Looking back further than yesterday xavier and villanova on wednesday a huge match up conference. Just a huge match up all together. And playing xavier and sumner getting hurt and out for a they had bad games. They did. They struggled. Point guard i would expect a different game and taking on the Number One Team in the country and probably the biggest game in history. What do they have to do get on the threepoint shooters. One of the best players in the country and remy is guarding them under the basket and i would like remy to be on the side and follow him on the numbers. As he goes around this ball screen he will lose too much space and going up to this screen he will have three feet of space and reynolds get doesnt out. Archie is a guy to hit shots with a little space. All right. You say in that situation if you are in that situation switch the screen or dont switch the screen. If you are remy you have to do a better job chasing the have a hand in his face at all times. Talk about a hand in his face. Taking on uconn and keeping tournament hopes alive. Yesterday a win at uconn and a heads up play by clark on the weak side block and stay with it. Walk you through it. Bigtime hustle play from gary clark. And they are at the top. Take a look at gary clark and he will make a phenomenal play on the basketball and help out teammates and hit the ball. We will get a replay here. Take a look at this hustle going up with the block. As the ball comes back and keeping it in bounds he was on his back and on his butt and continued in the game and gary win. Game in College Station going to overtime. I think two out of the three times in the last couple of years and going to overtime. Uk up by 1. 15 seconds a m ball and learning from this. An unfortunate end to the game. We will get your take on it. We will look what happened. I am sure most of you have seen it through the replay. Humphries get the steal and block for uk and the freshman gets excited. They get a big win. Get the foul called. A foul called on a m. Uk ball. Theres a technical foul on the fact he threw the basketball and i dont like the rest in this part of the game taking control of the basketball game. Not like he threw the ball at a texas player. He dropped it on the floor and teammates were trying to console him. Game and you see him turn around and coach cal says what can you do if the kid was excited. I am not mad at him. He was excited and made a heads up play and tweeted after the game, you know, lesson learned. I will learn from this. For all players around the country they cannot do that. They have to hold onto it. You move on. It wasnt in a tournament game. A won and done tournament game. The sophmore tate, you do defensive drills and maybe not in a game. You get pumped up. And shawn take sophmore for ohio state started pounding the floor. How did ohio state get the win. It is a good thing he did win the game but get an earful from the coach. He can completely lose his Attention Span and let got right by him and doesnt touch him. Back. You have to stay in the play and pound the floor and excited and get fans and team and you have to Pay Attention in the ballgame. Lesson learned hopefully. Quickly your prediction wednesday night xavier, nova. Nova shot 50 from the 3 and over 60 from the field and tough to beat a team twice. Xavier has been playing well all year and will give villanova a heavy dose and man to man and do a great job and on shooters and going crazy in front of a soldout crowd and i expect them to get the w wednesday. Lets go. Pound the floor. Pound it. Yes. Thank you. Lesson learned. I was ready for it. The difference between its a person who surrounded and supported by othersby us who believe it, too. U. S.

We want to know if you are a uc fan rooting for uc or villanova. You are saying you would never root for x under any circumstance or yes you would root for x as long as they are not playing for uc or rooting for them because they would be the Number One Team. Go to facebook to vote. Right now sitting down and talking more college hoops. Thank you. Im jed, down there is rick. Musketeer report and bearcat journal. You saw the pole cat question and chad we will start with you. Uc fan wednesday night when xavier takes on villanova. Root for them playing x or only rooting for them the Number One Team in cincinnati could be xavier. If it was a Team Cincinnati beat and significantly help their profile for xavier to be number one since xavier one this year, no. Flat out no. We will see results in a bit. Lets talk about the Xavier Villanova game, a gigantic game. Villanova is like a game when they saw villanova, o6 point margin, 17 points and average 17 points and you add onto it a chance of a number one seed in the country and how will xavier respond wednesday night. This is not a bengals situation or losing franchise and gets to it and freaks out. Situations. They have never lost a game inside the center and they will be playing well. People forget when they talk about how big a game it is for xavier and this is the best team facing both conferences and big game for them. Is this the big game in history. Absolutely. Question for both of you. This is villanova x game. Is the winner of this game wednesday guaranteed number 1 seed . No. Too early for that. If villanova wins they are in a position to get it. If xavier beats them they have to win the big east to get a number 1 seed. Villanova, i think they will be number 4 tomorrow to get a number 1 seed. I dont think they can put both teams, two teams from the big east. If villanova wins the big east tournament by this week villanova will have a 30 point tournament and have number one that. No way we will see villanova and x. I think it is in good conference. I dont think it has that respect with the lack of elite teams and held the xaviers resume. They have a ton of top 50 wins but they dont have top 5, top 10 wins other teams do. Lets switch to uc. If it wasnt a must win game saturday against uconn. It was a mustwin game. It was a five point win and probably a five point win where you never bit your nails at all. 14 in the second half. 14 in the second half. You hit a couple of shots and inside that range in a one or twopossession game and gary clark block up 6 and 3 minutes left, i thought was the biggest play of the season for cincinnati. It kept them from gaining momentum and flipped to the cincinnati side. It was as big of a play as anybody has seen. We saw it and they tell straighted that play. It was fitting gary clark did it. We had you talk about gary clark and how its just been nick cronin hammering that nail over and over again trying to make big plays and seemed he answered the bell. In 8 games averaging 15 rebounds. 2 1 2 assists. If you watch him long enough and knew it was coming and didnt know when. It is coming. Evans enter on that trajectory as well. It is becoming clear it is a good senior class and best three players jacob evans and those are the three guy who is won in the game. Now it is a groin injury. A foot sprain, ankle sprain and something bothering him with his groin. Tough week. Not good. Uc in . They cant lose it at east carolina. The last two games, if they go oneonone and i think you will be sweating if they dont make the ac finals. If they win out barring a ridiculous loss, i think they are in. We have a minute left. I want to touch quickly on benson at lsu. Doesnt look like tigers, anything that could happen could win the tournament. It doesnt look like they will and some people are saying if the tournament is without ben simmons it would be a travesty or fans wont get what they have bargained for. I think thats garbage. And i dont think theres ever a player in College Basketball. And thats must see tv . It would be worse. Johnny jones perform a flop job and got upset. They are not a good team. Poorly coached and benson is a great player but not once in a generation talent. We never saw lebron in the tournament and ended up all right. You probably wont see a Christmas Card with johnny jones. I am not too worried about it. Rick chad, back to you. Coming up. Second win at rivera in three years. Wanting to remind us he is best you made the call tonight on our facebook book a close call 38 say under no circumstances a uc fan will you root for xavier. 35 think the Number One Team going down at the hands of cincinnati would be pretty cool. Dont play uc and 100 of the center is sold out for the game wednesday. Thank you for those who logged onto our Facebook Page to vote. Lots to talk about Reds Organization being in the rebuilding phase. Jay bruce, 12 year veteran has been through rebuilding and dominating and showed up two days before he had to officially report. Brad steinke is in arizona and reports now. Reporter it was a season of change for reds. Big name players traded away. Cueto, chapman and frazier. And right fielder jay bruce and it wasnt for lack of trying. The twotime allstar knows hes been on the block awhile. It doesnt change his approach and doesnt affect his business at spring training. I know good and well i was not the mair like last year. Or in 2014. The only way i can prove that is get back to the real me. Just, you know get ready physically is a huge deal. Health is a huge deal and theres small adjustments i can try to make and figure out ways to make those applicable all the time on a more consistent basis. Bruce knows trades are part of the game. If a deal is finally done he will look back on days as a red fondly and giving his all to the team he has ever known. With the reds. Im brad steinke. Sports. Golfs prestigious tournament masters less than 50 days away n. Los angeles, the last time bubba watson won at riva in 2014 he won the masters a short time later.

Just below the summit. There waiting to use the ropes. Robert lambros died . Yes. S his body there . Yes. He was a guide. One of the members died above hillary step, and bobby stayed to help, i m sorry. I liked your brother. You okay . Attorney now, regarding his book the defendant s book have you read it . I have. In it, he claims that my client, mr. Oliver cardiff, came upon the dying robert lambros, and not only stepped over his body to get to the summit, but then took his bottled oxygen. You re aware of that accusation . I am. And do you disagree . I do. I was climbing everest for a documentary, and i saw mr. Cardiff here climbing with a british team. Below uh, step. Yes. T have been near lambros. Mountain, heading up . Yes, that would follow. So, this book is untrue . Another climber, especially a friend, but danny was at base camp and didn t see what i saw. No further questions. To rip your friend apart. Be gentle. Mr. Branch, what is the death zone . In mountaineering parlance, s the altitude above 26,000 feet where oxygen is insufficient to sustain life. It s also a place to be fully trusted . You believe that bottled oxygen has hurt the sport of mountain climbing, so you climb without oxygen . I do. And an absence of oxygen would increase the likelihood of untrustworthy perceptions . Yes. So, when you say that you saw the plaintiff have to take your word for it, and yet your word could be colored by your oxygendeprived perception. I believe. That follows. I d like to make a motion to dismiss this lawsuit. This is a libel suit, not a criminal case. The plaintiff needs not only to prove s book was wrong, but that he knew it was wrong. Which we re doing. No. There is too much inherent uncertainty here. On perception, and the death zone makes suspect. indistinct conversations wow. He dismissed. M stunned. Me, too. Thank you. Oh. The thought of him leaving my brother behind and then suing me for everything. cell phone rings where are you . S in ten minutes. And what meeting was that again . Okay, don t tease.
