Hour 3: Randy Levine on the 'Save College Sports Act' & Yankees Updates

Craig Carton (0:00)

Carton Show Big Mac.

Interesting situation with former New York Yankee, Mitchell Robinson, who missed his introductory press conference with the Boston Celtics because he said that his younger brother Zeke was struck by a car while out for a morning run. So apparently, I guess Tuesday morning, Zeke was hit by a car around 6 o'clock in the morning. Robinson later shared on Snapchat that his brother was recovering fine, so that's good, and expected to leave the hospital soon. So all in all, dodged an obvious bullet there. So I'm happy to hear that. But what's interesting about this, am I wrong in recollecting when Mitchell Robinson broke his hand before the finals against the Spurs, he never announced at the moment what he did, how he broke his hand. He came out after the championship, I think really after he signed with the Celtics as well, and he said that he fractured the knuckle on his hand because he punched his truck in frustration the day or two before the finals against the Spurs because he received alarming news that his brother was in a severe car crash.

Chris McMonigle (1:16)

That's what I remember.

Craig Carton (1:18)

I'm assuming it's the same brother. I'm not sure if he has another brother. I don't know how many more he has, yeah. Now, I don't want to be this guy, but that's not how Mitchell Robinson broke his hand. He lied about that. That's an invented story. That didn't happen. Really? Yes. He broke his hand doing something else. Facts.

But I feel bad that his brother was apparently in a serious car crash back in June, which thankfully he survived. And now he got hit by a car again on Tuesday.

Chris McMonigle (1:54)

Yeah. And so he made that my youngest brother had been involved in a car accident. I didn't see the messages until I arrived home late that night.

As the eldest sibling, I felt deeply a sense of concern and that's when he punched the car.

Craig Carton (2:07)

Yeah, but that's not how he broke his hand.

Chris McMonigle (2:09)

So yes, but that's what he said. On his Instagram thing was that he was alerted that his youngest brother was in a car accident.

Craig Carton (2:15)

I'm not sure if that's the same brother.

Chris McMonigle (2:16)

I don't know.

Craig Carton (2:17)

They don't differentiate there in the story that I'm reading. But I'm glad that his, this particular brother, his youngest brother, Zeke, because maybe there's multiple siblings, I don't know that, is going to be fine.

Chris McMonigle (2:31)

I was reading his Instagram story about how he broke his hand during the NBA finals. Right, that's not how he broke it. I understand that, but I'm saying he said youngest brother in that.

Craig Carton (2:42)

Is this saying youngest brother? Youngest brother, yeah.

Chris McMonigle (2:44)

That's the same brother. So it's the same kid.

Craig Carton (2:46)

Well, thank god he's going to be okay. Because that's the only thing that matters in this story. And obviously, the kid's got really bad luck. You know, he got hit by a car jogging at six in the morning, and back in June was in a car accident. You have something to add to this over there?

I can't hear you.

Chris McMonigle (3:02)

You gotta turn your mic on or pop him up.

SPEAKER_3 (3:04)

Go ahead. You know when you like, you lie like, oh, I'm sick, and you never want to put it on like a dead relative? If he was lying, like this is the exact fear of mine, like, oh, I kick him to work, my grandmother died, and then six weeks later, my grandmother dies.

Craig Carton (3:16)

I worked with a guy in Philadelphia when I was in WIP who killed his grandmother six times.

SPEAKER_3 (3:22)

It's incredible.

Craig Carton (3:22)

Six different times he, I gotta tell you if my grandma's not well. I gotta tell you if my grandma died. Like how many times can the same woman pass away?

Chris McMonigle (3:29)

I'm a product of divorce. I have six grandmothers.

Craig Carton (3:32)

No joke. Six times. The grandmother was either dying sick or dead.

Yeah. And he just figured, who's gonna remember?

Chris McMonigle (3:41)

Yeah, who's gonna remember?

Craig Carton (3:41)

Everybody remembered. Like we were sending the guy cards.

SPEAKER_3 (3:45)

We all sent in the card.

Craig Carton (3:47)

Like I'm at the funeral parlor.

Chris McMonigle (3:49)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (3:49)

Where's the Wilson funeral? What are you talking about? She's still alive, that old bag.

Chris McMonigle (3:54)

She pulled through miraculously. Thank you guys for the card.
