## Resource

Today is "Feel Good Friday." The NFL draft was last with the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans getting their guys. The Texas Longhorns basketball team added another big piece in the transfer portal. The baseball team's first-year students are getting some love as they prepare for Vanderbilt this weekend, while the softball team travels to Kentucky to play the Wildcats. The Hawks, Timberwolves, and Raptors defended home court last night in the NBA Playoffs. Have the NBA Playoffs been disappointing, or is it just time for the changing of the guard? A "Hardge Knocks Life" and "The World's Strongest Take!" Plus, we have Calrence Hill of All City DLLS joining the show to talk about the Cowboys draft and the Michael Jackson biopic titled “Michael.” You can hear it all here on "The Morning Kickoff Show!"
