Moneyline is back with the return of Frank Cristiano. He was too busy for us last week as he opened up a new bar, Smoking Guns Saloon. Mention Moneyline to him and receive a free drink, along with a free meal!

We talk about the Big East conference being slighted with only 3 teams in the tournament, while the Mountain West conference got 6 spots. UConn, Creighton, and Marquette all went 6-0 while the Mountain West teams faired 3-3.

Frank picked 14 of the 16 teams remaining in the tournament, and we break down this weeks games and who we think will make it to the Final 4. Last week, Worcester Academy coach and co-host Jeremy Bandy gave up a huge secret that every leap year a team with a Wildcat nickname wins the tournament. Arizona, Hello! But can anyone stop UConn? Don't miss Moneyline and remember to mention it to Frank if you stop in at Smoking Guns Saloon for that free drink, along with a meal!

Chris Bellamy joins the show and shares a spectacular journey leading to a successful career. I did not know what I was getting into before our interview and at the end, I left with a smile on my face.

Chris hails from "Hard Hitten" New Britan, Connecticut, which the best podcast host in the universe thought was a white-collar city. I could not have been more wrong; Chris grew up in one of the toughest places in Connecticut.

Gangs were prominent and Chris joined in early before being arrested at 12 years old. This led to a stint in Juvenile detention where he made a decision to change his life. A mentor took notice of Chris being a dynamic athlete and encouraged him to play sports. He saw potential in football because there were more scholarship opportunities.

His senior year, a new offensive coordinator showcased Chris. Offers from Hawaii, South Carolina, and Auburn followed. Who wouldn't want a 6'2 athlete with potential to play multiple positions? Denauld Brown recruited Chris at UConn, as he waited on eligibility from the NCAA. It came late, a day after National signing day!

Coach Brown told Chris early on in the recruiting process they were leaving a scholarship open. It was loyalty which brought him to UConn, along with being close to home. Chris had a young daughter and was a dedicated father.

Blue collar work ethic, running back coach Terry Richardson and a positive attitude defined his time at UConn. Chris credits senior starting running back Taber Small for taking him under his wing. Taber made a huge impact on learning the different responsibilities of the position.

Nobody had to overcome more obstacles and adversity than Chris Bellamy. Put in an extremely talented group, he did not see the field immediately. It becomes heart breaking because football becomes our identity, as I know all too well. Chris had a rough stretch where he suffered through depression and even considered transferring.

In 2003 and 2004, we witnessed how special of a player Chris was. After being moved to wide receiver, injuries put him right back in the backfield where he finally received his chance to shine. He was instrumental in 2003 as the team went 9-3. In 2004, first year in the Big East, Chris played a huge role in leading UConn to an 8-4 record and Motor City Bowl, which was our first bowl ever. He ended his career rushing for 87 yards and a touchdown destroying Toledo.

After college, Chris was interested in learning how to manage money and provide a great life for his family. Self-taught, he became a Mortgage Broker, got a license to sell insurance and with his strong work ethic, he grew his portfolio.

These days, Chris built an incredible career working for TEKsystems as a Marketplace Diversity Leader. Living in Boston with a wife and young son, Chris still focuses on giving back by starting a program to teach kids how to be IT professionals. He wants people to have access, raise awareness and do the best he can for everybody he can because that was what was done for him.

Chris has a podcast, much better than mine, called All Black Men Need Therapy, which started in 2020. His platform exists in 143 countries that unpack past and present issues affecting black men's mental health, along with well-being. Chris and his brothers engage in honest, vulnerable dialogue surrounding the complexities of life as black men. They are committed to helping black men grow comfortable having difficult conversations while encouraging them to strive daily to become the best version of themselves. Chris speaks all over the country, most recently at Morehouse College and the Aspen Challenge, committed to making a difference.

Coach Randy Edsall was tough, we thought he just didn't like us. It was because coach knew life would hit tougher and he taught us to overcome adversity. Coach said play every play like it's the last one you will ever play. We all apply that philosophy to this day and are grateful for the impact coach had on our lives.

An outstanding new episode of Moneyline this week. Ernest Floyd has put together the best programming in Worcester, including Moneyline, the highest rated local sports show in the 508 talking Worcester Railers HC.

Jeremy Bandy, head football coach at Worcester Academy, along with Mike Binkoski co-host as we interview Broadcasting and Media Relations Coordinator Tim Foley. The team is on the road ready to put together a winning streak. Tim explains player movement with Bridgeport of the AHL can happen at anytime. The Railers have a 5 game home stretch coming up and they are closing in on a playoff spot. Tim does a phenomenal job as a broadcaster, and we thank him for joining us.

Jeremy Bandy talks about Kirk Cousins being signed to 180 million dollar contract and being miffed he got paid that much despite only 1 playoff win. Mike Binkoski thinks it’s a good fit and the Falcons can make a run. A lot of laughs and fun but both did their research in preparation for the show.

We discuss the Russell Wilson situation, Justin Fields, along with Kenny Pickett. Finally the guys give us their Final 4 picks and reveal who will win the national championship. Jeremy gives out a secret and knows for sure who will win the National Championship. Don't miss the hottest sports show in Worcester!

What was supposed to be an episode with the coach, Joe Villipiano, UConn basketball analyst Chris Hill, former teammate and longtime friend Tommy Collins turned into the gold standard of entertainment.

Running for 2 hours, there is not a single minute that is boring. From stories about our arrival to UConn, through a difficult freshmen camp, nothing is off limits. Ed Injaychock being the only student on campus with an air conditioner and dehumidifier, along with refusing to be on the show. We recount Ed's career of 3 plays against Colgate, as well as his Legendary high school highlight tape narrated by NFL films.

Chris Hill breaks down the NCAA tournament with Tommy, both believe UConn is the best team and put in the most challenging bracket when they should have received an easier path. Chris has UConn, UNC, Houston, and Tennessee in the FINAL 4. Tommy goes with UConn, Baylor, Houston and Purdue. Both pick UConn vs Houston for the National Championship with UConn repeating,

Lots of laughs, amazing guests, Tommy Collins steals the show. Sit back or listen in your car, they are GOLD

Karen Read was watching friends turn on her, flip flopping at court hearings while innocent until proven guilty may as well not exist. Karen and boyfriend Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe met friends for drinks at The Waterfall bar in January 2022. After, they went to a party at Brian Alberts house, another police officer. Karen didn't see him enter the because of the show but called his phone, several times, no answer and she assumed his got in okay.

After several hours of not hearing from him, she contacted "friend" Jen McCabe and they went driving to search for John. Hours passed since she dropped him off and John was in grave danger. Karen performed mouth to mouth, asked for blankets to warm him, nurses were in the Albert home and were contributing what they could.

EMTs rushed John to Good Samaritan Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7:50am from hypothermia. HOWEVER, John had gashes on his arm that looked like a dog attacked. Also, blunt force trauma to the back of the head was pictured in photos

The Prosecution theory was Karen and John has been arguing at the Waterfall and Karen Read backed into him purposefully after dropping him off.

Karen Read needed medical attention because she was beside herself, she didn't want to leave picturing in her head life without John.

Aidian Kearny broke this case open for the defense because he is one of the few people who cares about the truth and Justice for John O'Keefe. Also known as "Turtleboy", this case did not pass the smell test.

Tutrtleboy found Lucky Loughran who has worked for the Canton DPW for many years. The Commonwealth's theory is John O'Keeffe never entered the house and Karen Read ran him over. Lucky said he did not see a body at 12;30pm or when he plowed at 2:30am, very little show was on the ground and a body would most be visible.

The McCabe's and Alberts denied being friends, denied knowing each other and pictures posted were not with their kids. I've never seen such careless, egregious, lying for the purpose of allegedly covering up a murder. There are videos and wedding pictures galore, along with recent pictures of their kids posing together.

Chris Albert's son Colin Albert did not get along with John O'Keefe. Karen Read missed John run into the house because it was cold outside. Former Bridgewater State football player and others, allegedly attacked O'Keefe , including Sicking their German Sheppard Cloe on him, unfortunately causing significant injuries, then dragged his lifeless body into the snow, allowing him to succumb to hypothermia hours later.

Turtleboy smelled a rat. investigated, he is the only reason this case gained national notoriety and a federal investigation is ongoing to show the incompetence of Meatball Morrissey, along with the Canton Police Department.

Turtleboy organized rally's at each hearing, a rolling rally to show where everything took place in Canton. Despite being arrested on counts of federal witness intimidation; Aidan knows the first amendment protects him. He doesn't deny making mistakes, didn't he deserve to go to jail for 60 days because a mentally unstable jilted lover was used by the police to put him away. Aidan exposed the truth and because Lindsey Gaetani is a liar who needs help Turtleboy is the main reason this case was reported on, he is also the reason hundreds of thousands of people support him, believe in him, and corruption in Canton will be catastrophic. Yuri Bukaki is sweating. Michael Proctor is being investigated by the federal government for his conduct. Meatball Morrissy and Ken Mello, please get in some cardio. I am fat and at least started mine!

We have an unprecedented episode of Moneyline, becoming heated and everyone is fired up! Frank Cristiano makes his return and wants to know who listens to our show, along with if they know where Utica, NY is located.

Mr. Wells has a lot to say about LSU and South Carolina's women's team having a brawl, along with how each coach handled it.

Thomas Andrew "The Skull" Hartmann returns, disagreeing and interrupting everyone.

We talk NFL free agency, the value of quarterbacks growing out of proportion while runningbacks salaries are stagnated or declining.

Fired up arguments all around, especially when analyzing Frank and I broadcasting the last few ABA games. This show was entertaining, pure chaos, don't miss it tonight at 7pm.
