Fred relives Rick Pitino incident | The Email Bit | The Stack - 8/14 (Hour 4)

(00:00) Hear from hosts about how they learned about and got involved with The Sports Hub. Fred has been a Boston radio staple for many years, but it turns out he might not have been on The Sports Hub, and a different morning show could have taken over when the programming switch was made 15 years ago. He shares that story and more as the guys continue to reminisce.

(17:19) Fred and Hardy analyze Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s appearance on Zolak & Bertrand, where an on-field fight broke out in the middle of a practice.

(30:35) A recap of Greg Bedard’s recent appearance on The Sports Hub discussing the Patriots. Is this the worst he’s ever seen covering the team? More on the Patriots to close out the hour.
