RTU #1114 was a Jim Dandy, with Cal and Sanpete figuring out why the NHL remains the 4th sport in popularity in the US, and patting Cal on the back for scooping the Mets beat guys by 5 weeks. PJ started the show with 1 forced nickname, and finished with 5 organic ones, and the fellas asked that all non-Mets fans leave the Met bashing to them, then they did just that, ripping the Mets for not retiring numbers.

KMac dropped all sorts of NFL draft knowledge and a few stories about Sanpete's college NFL Draft daze, and Jay Linder was optimistic about the Knicks, the Giants and the weather, not so optimistic about his chances to get to the movies this summer.

The RTU Boys welcomed Dan Schachner of SNY's Beer Money to the show and found out quite a bit about the TV Host/Actor/Sports Fan/Father extraordinaire, including how he and his wife came up with one of the great sports fandom compromises of all-time, agreed upon at Yalta.

Technical problems and car troubles didn't stop RTU... Sanpete and Dr. E Ray got the party started with some Knicks and Nets talk, then into some baseball as Carlos Beltran moves to RF.

The last Ready to Unload of the season saw the RTU boys fight through their respective ailments to deliver 2.5 hours of fantastic sports talk and good times, including a great spot with SNY Mets Blogger Patrick Flood (www.patrickfloodblog.com) about the Mets manager search, and hot stove Mets talk. The fellas got into the Giants, the Jets, the Yankees and Jeter, and why Michael Vick reminds of Techmo more than Madden. Dave Rutley of www.FFAdvisor.com checked in in the Fantasy Five Spot, and lamented seeing his Skins get smoked like mozzarella, and Count Broccoli, nay the Swami made his picks, true winners this week.
