## Resource

Today is “Feel Good Friday.” The NBA Playoffs have a couple of eliminations, with the New York Knicks obliterating the Atlanta Hawks 140-89, and the Philadelphia 76ers surviving the Boston Celtics 160-93. The Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Denver Nuggets 110-98. Arch Manning hype is real, and we talk about why. The Dallas Cowboys are getting the hype train running. Plus, Comedian Bill Bellemy is live in the studio; he gives us laughs, tells stories, and promotes this weekend’s stand-up shows at Cap City Comedian Club. You can hear it all here on “The Morning Kickoff Show!”
