Speaker 1: was home running the ninth inning against the Brewers. Right,

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: the big, biggest, biggest play in baseball last year, Alonzo,

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: it's the three run homer watching all the fans put

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,600

Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.

33
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that Alonso thing had a lot of

34
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: run for you though. I mean there were several days

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: where I'd come in. You'd be sitting having a little

36
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: cup of coffee watching whatever was the game was on,

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: but on your phone you'd be watching Alonzo videos. Oh yeah,

38
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: that was how it seemed like a coping MECHANI or

39
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: anything might do in the winter.

40
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,720

41
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,720

42
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: drive was bad, I would just go to YouTube and

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,520

Speaker 4: Then I realized very quickly, oh that's pretty easy to do.

158
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: I can sit at a bar for four hours.

159
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: That enough people watching, but enough beers looking at the clock,

160
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: and I'm going, what, We're just gonna sit here in

00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: the most entertaining client that you can talk about without

00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: getting them arrested. I drank a lot of die of

168

177
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: When I go visit him, he wouldn't take me when

178
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm younger, he wouldn't take me around the bars.

179
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: Like now I'm setting you.

Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's it, the horses, I'm running cigarettes. I

187
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: was like spider in these places. Yeah, the dance that

189
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: Oh man, so oh boy?

190
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I don't know, Okay, we're gonna

191
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: sit at a bar until I remember telling my mom

192
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: we did that, and I didn't think it was that

193
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: big a deal because I'm still like, yeah, I don't know,

194
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: because they they didn't spel it. They didn't have a

195
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: great relationship, my mom and my dad. Once I got divorced,

196
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, oh boy, how do I

197
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: explain this. It's it's like, you know those couples who

198
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: they get divorced, but they understand they need to work together,

199
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: they're co parenting. This was the exact opposite. Okay, okay,

200
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: there's that. So when my mom said, so what you

201
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: what'd you do? I said, well, here's what we did

202
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: on Friday, you know, Thursday, and then Friday we did this,

203
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: and what'd you do? Saturday was Saturday? Went to the

204
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: went to the Chiefs game at night six thirty. I said,

205
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: before that, we went to Weber's this you know, this

206
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: bar that the dad goes. She was, oh, you took you.

207
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: To a bar? I said, yeah, yeah, we went there

208
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: and I had lunch and stuff. Shes Oh how long

209
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: were you there? I said, Oh god, Mom, was a

210
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: long time? Was like five hours? She was, your dad

211
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: brought you to bar for five hours? Yeah, yeah, in

212
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 2: the middle of the day. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah huh.

213
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: And I think the next thing she did would say, okay, here,

214
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: why don't you go get a sandwich, I gotta make.

215

234
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: Well, that was the whole thing when we worked at ESPN,

235
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: when we would do Sports Center, right, because Connecticut was

236
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: a no no, no, no, No one ever drank it

237
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: work as far as you know, uh, we always had

238
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: the big like that's the see, that's a big part.

239
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: But I'll pull the curtain back is that's the biggest.

240
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: Is that.

241
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: It was an early town and most of the time

242
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: bars closed at one right, So bars closed Connecticut at

243
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: one o'clock. There was a bar called Bleachers that was

244
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: I want to say it was two miles from where

245
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: ESPN was, And so we would do the eleven o'clock

246
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Sports Center and we would get done at midnight and

247
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: all of us would hope that the show would go

248
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: well and we wouldn't have to have a post meeting

249
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: because you don't have a post meeting at midnight after

250
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: the show if the show went bad, because the church

251
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: would say, okay, why did this happen? Why did But

252
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: if it was a clean show, he would say, great,

253
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: good show, everybody, and we would all get to our

254
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: cars and just I mean, and like that old joke.

255
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, drive safe, you know, drive as fast

256
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: as you can.

257
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: We would get there because the bar would close. They'd

258
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: have last call like a quarter to one, so all

259
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it like between five and ten after twelve,

260
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: like this bar bleachers would get overrun by a bunch

261
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: of twenty five.

262
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: Year olds, like, hey, you want to come here and

263
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: hang out for a half hour. But then it always

264
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: turned into okay, whose turn is it? And so it'd

265
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: say yeah, okay, let's go get a case of beer

266
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: and come to mind.

267
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: And everybody lived close to each other. It was almost

268
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: like college, Like.

269
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: There were all these these apartments and they were really close.

270
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: To each other.

271
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: You could walk back and forth say okay, I'll have

272
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: people over. So almost every night someone would have people

273
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: over there. And since you're working till midnight, you're at

274
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: the bar till one, they would have people over till

275
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: three four in the morning, go home, go to sleep,

276
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: wake up the next day, do it again.

277
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: It was like an extension of Cols.

278
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: Everybody worked hard, but it was like, hey, I got

279
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: unwind because you're just under the pressure cooker here for

280
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: like eight nine hours. It was like almost every night

281
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: people would you know, people would have something until like

282
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: three four in the morning, and that's how it would work.

283
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Leacher's Bar ct dot net. Oh okay, But here's

284
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: the question I would have for you. Which executive had

285
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: an interest in that bar? Uh? Oh boy, I don't

286
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: know that any I'm trying to think because the.

287
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: Christeve Levy bought coaches, which was the bar in Hartford

288
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: we would all go to if you were going to

289
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: a Whaler's game or something else or a Yukon game

290
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: like he bought he bought uh uh coach coaches. I

291
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: think okay that I think him and like Jim Calhoun

292
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: and somebody else like it just went like that.

293
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,160

294
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: And Calhoun tell them about, you know, state employee. He said,

298
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 2: play because the one thing we would say was, hey,

299
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: can you keep it open open? You know your investigated mind.

300

Speaker 1: last hour he got paid because of where he got drafted.

313
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: There's actually a bigger reason now he got all this money.

314
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: We'll tell you why next Jason and Mike Fox.

Speaker 4: Any NBA team.

319
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: Could win the title, and the videos they would put

320
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: out aren't close to what Knicks fans are putting out

321
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: tonight not even close.

322
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: Now, I got to figure out how to monetize this

323
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: shower curtain, leather, Burkin Nixon, fie. I mean, it's really

324
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: it's a part.

325
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: If if I you said to me, you could wave

326
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: a magic wand and say, Jason, I could take you

327
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: to any sporting event of the last ten years, I

328
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: would want to go to tonight's next game, not even

329
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: the whole game, from the middle of the second quarter

330
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: to the end, because it would feel like I was

331
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: in the ocean riding waves. Because it was just a

332
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: party in Madison Square Garden. The Knicks kept hitting big shots.

333
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: They led to Celtics by thirty thirty five, forty points.

334
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: It would have been, it would have been.

335
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: It's not.

336
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: It wasn't just a game. It was the event it

337
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 4: will be.

338
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: I was there Game six Celtics in twenty twenty five

339
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: when it was bedlam and it was a celebration and

340
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: everything went right.

341
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: To get out of the second round, I know it

342
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: would do. You know what they always say, to be

343
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: the man, you gotta beat the man.

344
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: But that's the thing is, like tonight, it was more

345
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: than just a game, Like it was more than just Hey,

346
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: here's what they.

347
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: Just a game, a game, just a game.

348
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 4: It was it was it was an event.

349
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: It was an event to be at where you felt

350
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: like you were being like I'd be hand passed through.

351
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: The crowd, seaman was crowd serving.

352
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would feel like I was high watching this. Really,

353
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: I well, I think you kind were sitting here. I

354
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: might have been without the you know, the extra stuff.

355
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: I might have been. Man, I might have been you.

356
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: You were right, you were ride high. And then the

357
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: fact that you know your energy is not dissipated fully

358
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: yet it was pretty good.

359
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: I tell you, it's gonna oh yeah, this is party,

360
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna go to Wednesday. And that's no, no, he's gonna

361
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: go to Wednesday till the Pacers go boot to stop.

362
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: You are with me for another thirty five minutes. Because

363
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: we knocked out the Celtics. Then you can say, is

364
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: going to kick your ass?

365
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 4: You can do that. The Celtics lost, you said, I ain't.

366
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: Not only did the Celtics lose go to New York

367
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: lost their souls all right.

368
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: Now, we talked about this, or we'll get to brock

369
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: Perty coming up in a couple of minutes. But we

370
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: talked about this earlier in the show. If you asked

371
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: anybody who the greatest Nick is of all time, I mean,

372
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: I can only go back to when I started watching basketball,

373
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: so I go back to the unfortunately the late seventies.

374
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: This is after the next Heyday. Right. Well, you might

375
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: have had you know, Bill Brand at the game. Yeah,

376
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: maybe you men mentioned Clyde Frazier. Yeah, because he's been

377
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: a staple all these years, so you still remember his career. Yeah,

378
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: a little, right, because he's there, had great beard commercials

379
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 2: for him.

380
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: With a look so natural.

381
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: But uh, but you go back, and I would say, okay,

382
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: like going back now fifty years, go back?

383
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: Uh some Elik Rose, uh Ken the Animal Banister. Uh,

384
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: you go back? Okay.

385
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: Generally the consensus is that Patrick Ewing is the greatest Nick.

386
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: Right.

387
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Fame player. He led the Knicks

388
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: to a couple of NBA finals. They probably would have

389
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: won the second one if he didn't get hurt because

390
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: he tore his achilles at the end of the Eastern

391
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Finals against the Pacers and ninety nine, so that had

392
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: to play the Spurs without him.

393
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: It was a huge deal. Like that was the end

394
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: of you like Ewing's prime, like that was the end

395
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: of it. But Ewing had some playoff failures and as

396
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 2: great as he was, right, as great as he was,

397
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: he was someone who took the Knicks form obscurity because

398
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: they were terrible for the late seventies early eighties. They

399
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: drafted Youing in eighty five, and suddenly the fortunes turned around,

400
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: and for most of the nineties they were in the

401
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference finals just about every year. You ever said,

402
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: David Stern that thank you? Uh no, well, I didn't

403
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: think it was I didn't think it was that big.

404
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: I didn't think frozen envelope stuff was that big a

405
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: deal until a few years later.

406
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 4: Like, of course the Knicks are getting Patrick Ewing.

407
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: We need him, all right, great, I said our offseason goals, Dad,

408
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: I said it at the lunch table. We needed a center.

409
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: But I'll but I'll tell you what is that their

410
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: games And there's times when Ewing failed the next right,

411
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: I talked about the big the big leape, miss using

412
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: the series to the Pacers in ninety five, getting hurt

413
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: like Ewing. Ewing's era is is kind of defined by

414
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: he was a great player. The Knicks got to a

415
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: couple of finals, but he wasn't good enough to lead

416
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: them to a championship.

417
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: That he gets a hall pass to some degree because

418
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: everybody just says, well, you had Jordan.

419
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know he makes a lot of money

420
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: because he spends a lot of its true, but like

421
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: just one championship, right, but generally you look back at

422
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: you and go, yeah, he was great, never won a title.

423
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: Even though Jalen Brunson has not gotten there, he has

424
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: come through in just about every clutch moment and he

425
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: has brought the Knicks back from doldrums that were even

426
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: lower than when Ewing did. Because when Ewing brought the

427
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: Knicks back in the in the early eighties, it was boy, okay,

428
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: we never expect the Nicks to do anything. Right, they

429
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: had they never had any you know, they won the title,

430
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: you know in sixty nine, they went back in seventy three,

431
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: and then okay, yeah, then it was the era of

432
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: the Sixers and the Celtics and the Lakers. Knicks were

433
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: really off the map, and so all of a sudden

434
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: it was like, oh hey, it's found money. But then

435
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: after they go to the finals in ninety nine, when

436
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: they never break through because of Jordan and the Bulls.

437
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: The desire to see them get back was so great,

438
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: and there were so many failures, from Isaiah Thomas to

439
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony, to Steve Novak, Oh, Steve Novak Gannis from

440
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: all of these and now here's Brun's and who in

441
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: just a couple of years gets us to incredible relevancy

442
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: last year and now to the East Finals. This is ue

443
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: where they're the favorites to get to the NBA Finals. Yeah,

444
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: I get why Knicks fans are saying he's the greatest

445
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: nick of all time, and it's you know, obviously I'm

446
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: going back to the mid late seventies when I started watching.

447
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, I know I'm kind of prisoner

448
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: of the moment, but I think Jalen Brunson is is

449
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: a consensus he's the greatest Nick ever. He's in the

450
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: middle of his career. Yes, it is sad because he's

451
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven and all these times more like for your franchise,

452
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: it's got well, yeah, that's what I mean.

453
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: It's sad.

454
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean it's I mean, I'm happy because we're in

455
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: the East Finals, but it's a little said that that

456
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: this is what you need to do. But there's just

457
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: such a there's such a movement surrounding Brunson, where there

458
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: was never that much of a movement surrounding Patrick Ewing.

459
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Uing was never someone who had a lot of

460
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: conversation about him, whereas now a big time conversation the

461
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: NBA is about Jalen Brunson and about the Knicks. Like

462
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: he has done more. He has done more of a

463
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: job of relevancy of raising the Knicks and has more

464
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: respect for that. And granted, I think we're forgetting a

465
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: little bit of Ewing's tenure.

466
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 4: Hey, when you're in the.

467
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: East Finals almost every year, Pacers or Bulls, it's a

468
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: pretty big accomplishment. Just look at where the Knicks are now.

469
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I look at Jalen brunts like,

470
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he's the greatest Nick. Of course he is.

471
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 4: Look where we are.

472
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: Well, I think from nowhere goes to the conversation we

473
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: were having a little bit related to brock Purty, who

474
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: will get back to in a minute, is that you

475
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: had massive expectations out of what Ewing was going to be. Right,

476
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 2: He's a well decorated, long standing fixture on our basketball

477
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: loving selves at that point, right, because he was on

478
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: every Saturday. Here's Georgetown front and center. Here's the big

479
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: guys from Georgetown. There's John Thompson all the time. There's

480
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: the guy that wears the T shirt under his jersey.

481
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: There's Patrick Ewing and then he's the number one pick

482
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: and he goes to New York and he's a center

483
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 2: and centers. It's a different animal, right, because we do

484
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: our best. Stuves right, whenever you actually go down this

485
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: top five all time, how convenient or the goat conversations

486
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: usually it's say, yeah, Wilt and Kareem, they're over there,

487
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: and I think when you start thinking best of your franchise,

488
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: it oftentimes the centers kind of get pushed to the

489
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: side as well.

490
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, because relatability to a degree, unless you're shocked, because

491
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: Shack was so beloved and there were.

492
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: All shock But he's a different but it's also a

493
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: different time, a guy that embraced media. Patrick Ewing did

494
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: not know again the only quote that anybody remembers for

495
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: his playing days was the workstop and Joe, we make

496
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: a lot of money, we spend a lot of money,

497
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: so you need to have some sympathy for us in

498
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: our battle to change the structure of the CBA. But

499
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: for Jalen Brunson, he was a guy that was the

500
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 2: cast off from Dallas. Did they want him, Sure, they

501
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 2: wanted him to stay, but not at top notch money.

502
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: He went to New York and at the time, I

503
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: remember the conversation we were having, It's like, for a

504
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: point guard that's going to come in and be your guy,

505
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: he's underpaid, right. It's like we talk about quarterbacks, we're

506
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: talking about purty, we talk about guys at elite positions.

507
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: You're going to get paid and if you go and

508
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 2: you win, you become the stuff of legend. Hen't won

509
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: anything yet, but there are these indelibly etched moments for

510
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: him that have New York fans believing again as opposed

511
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: to add the Knicks are a fun, fun off season

512
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: thing until we get to concert season and whatever else

513
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 2: and we're back out, you know, on the on the

514
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: island and we're hanging out and going to the beach

515
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: and whatever else. So it's the for Brunson, he's a

516
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: guy that doesn't look the part. And I'm not casting

517
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: as ursions. I'm a short squad man myself, but he's

518
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: a guy that defies that we always talking. He's not fast,

519
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: but he's quick, but he can get his shot off.

520
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: He's tenacious, all of these things creating space. He'll ask

521
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 2: you out of the way, like, so he's a full

522
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: hero plus at this point and now that it's coming

523
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 2: with Wind's tail to it, Yeah, he takes plus ad,

524
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 2: social media, plus, he loves doing interviews like all of

525
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: those things, check every box. He embraced New York City

526
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: on a whole other level. Hell, how many times do

527
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 2: we see that in Villanova commercial tonight fifteen Gizo the

528
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 2: Villanova dog. But but all of that to say, right,

529
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: he's a guy you embraced because he wasn't the number

530
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 2: one pick. He wasn't the guy that was supposed to

531
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 2: come in and set the world on fire. And when

532
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: he came to the next it became all right, what's

533
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: he gonna do? How far can they go? And last

534
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 2: year they went pretty far and they got hurt. Yeah,

535
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 2: excuses reasons whatever. Who did they play when they went

536
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 2: out last year?

537
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were up two zip against the Pacers then

538
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 4: and then we.

539
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: Lost everybody and then nemhard got him the Pacers, right hard.

540
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: That three that's not happening this route we're sweeping the Pacers.

541
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: Just so you know, Rick Carlisle, I think he's gonna.

542
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: He's doing some sort of telethon right now about the

543
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: officiating in the Eastern Conferences.

544
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, can we go to Rick Carlile live talking about it?

545
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: But nobody told me, yeah, I get ready.

546
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: Uh now you mentioned Brock Party, right, and I'm telling

548
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: gets the Knicks to this finals, then it doesn't matter

549
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: that then he's the greatest Nick. Then then then there's

Speaker 1: go up? If they win a title? They start fast.

553

00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: in the day.

564
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: The Broncolypse is here.

565
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: Right, brock Purdy gets paid five year, two hundred and

566
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollar extension with the San Francisco forty

567
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: nine ers.

568
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: Right, we're waiting for the Brocalypse the last two and

569
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 4: a half years. It's here.

570
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: It's weird that something we talk about on and off

571
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: for so such a long time, all of a sudden.

572
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 4: Bang it's here. Okay, and the nixt win.

573
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, page two, but the broncolypse happens, and

574
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: he gets paid, and it's time to stop asking a

575
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: question about why a quarterback is getting paid what he

576
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: is and is he getting paid too much money? Because

577
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: that is irrelevant now right where it used to be

578
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: a thing, Oh can this guy? Is this guy really

579
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: worth the money? Did you throw it away? Did you

580
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: pay him too much? That used to be a legit conversation.

581
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: Right When a guy like Daniel Jones gets four years,

582
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty millions, what are you doing? The

583
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: guy's not that good? Right, there's one thing about paying

584
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: a guy who's not that good, and there's another thing

585
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: to sit here and say, Okay, you know, how do

586
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: you pay a guy who is, and you're just debating

587
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: how good he is, right, Daniel Jones, Like the guy

588
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: had really just a couple of good games at the

589
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: end of one year, whereas brock Party has been pretty

590
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: good to last three years. So now where do you go.

591
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: Is brock Purty worth fifty five million dollars a year?

592
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: That's no longer the question because once I explain this,

593
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna understand. Oh, this is just how it goes.

594
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: Teams know how miserable it is in the NFL when

595
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback. You watch teams like the Jets,

596
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: who for forty years been trying to find a quarterback,

597
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: or the Raiders or anybody else that don't have a quarterback,

598
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: and they go, wow, it is a miserable existence. And

599
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: fighting a quarterback ain't easy.

600
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: You would think it'd be a little bit easier, especially

601
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: for the Jets, like it'd be a little easier, Like

602
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: it seems like every year, like six or seven teams

603
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: find a quarterback and we can't be that team. But

604
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: teams know how miserable it is, so when they find

605
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: someone who doesn't doesn't mean you're one of the top

606
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 2: five or six quarterbacks. You'd love to be able to

607
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: find a Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts.

608
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 2: But general, when you find a brock Party who is

609
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: a top fifteen quarterback in the NFL, you're gonna keep

610
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: them because you know how miserable life is without it,

611
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 2: and you don't want to risk that we could do

612
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: a lot worse and who knows what could happen to

613
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: the team if we're wrong in the next couple of quarterbacks. Look,

614
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 2: brock perty was a guy they found, right, mister irrelevant,

615
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 2: final pick in the draft.

616
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 4: So you can debate.

617
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: Where brock Purty, say, boy, can a guy who could

618
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: rank thirteenth or fourteenth best quarterback in the NFL? Is

619
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: he worth fifty five million dollars a year? Yeah, he

620
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: kinda is, because it's a position you don't have to

621
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: worry about. You can win with brock Purty, and you

622
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: don't want to have to worry about. Okay, if I

623
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: move on from brock Party, what's the chances I'm getting

624
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: a better quarterback? Really, you don't have to replace him,

625
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: so of course you want to keep that guy. So

626
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: once you realize that, all the other stuff makes sense,

627
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: like it makes sense, I understand the Jaguar saying, well,

628
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna give fifty five million a year to Trevor

629
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: Lawrence because we could do a lot worse. Right, why

630
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: does Geno Smith get that big extension with the Raiders

631
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: Because you could do a lot, and the Raiders know

632
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: about doing worse at quarterback, Hey, we could do. Geno

633
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: Smith's a league average court a little bit better than

634
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: legue average when he plays well. So when you have

635
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: one of those guys, it's easy to say, yeah, I

636
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: want to give him money. And so of course that

637
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: money's gonna keep going up because there's sixteen fifteen, sixteen quarterbacks.

638
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: You could say are in the top half of the NFL.

639
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 2: So when these guys keep coming up, they're gonna keep

640
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: setting the bar higher. And then when the best guys

641
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: come up, okay, they're gonna set the bar higher than anybody. So, yeah,

642
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: the guys like Burrow are gonna do that, and Lamar

643
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: and Mahomes are going to continue to do that, but

644
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: these other guys are gonna do it too, because teams

645
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: understand this is a guy we can win with. He's

646
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: good enough, he's young enough. We know we were confident

647
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: that he's not a flash in the pan that.

648
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 4: He's gonna be good.

649
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: So let's make sure we lock him in because in

650
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: three years, are we gonna say and MBNA say, brock

651
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: Perty's overpaid. No, you're talking about the guys at the

652
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: bottom level of being franchise starting quarterbacks who're making fifty

653
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: five million dollars.

654
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: But that's just it, right, he's seventh today or eighth today.

655
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: In two years, he's guess what fifteenth or lower? Right,

656
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: just the way this works and the cap keeps going up.

657
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: But what do we always watch teams in roster construction

658
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: trying to get better via the draft. So the better

659
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 2: organization stockpiling picks and finding starters in the second third

660
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: day of the draft, and then placing free agents as

661
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: you need to, and then you're top heavy, right with

662
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: three or four big contracts at the most critical positions

663
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: your attacker, your thrower, and your protector, and then you

664
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: wield out from there. So you're looking at brock Purdy

665
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: institutional knowledge. You've got a lot of other changing parts

666
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: you want to change your quarterback to. You just changed

667
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 2: out a lot of talent, right your offensive line, Trent

668
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: Williams Older, and you're looking at his health and availability.

669
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 2: The rest of that offensive line just keep going on

670
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: down the line. Mccaffery's coming back, How great is he

671
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: going to be? Is he gonna be his old self? No,

672
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 2: you need a quarterback who you know what his baseline is.

673
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,719
Speaker 2: And while last year wasn't you know, record smashing with

674
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: all those guys getting hurt, you didn't bottom out, you

675
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: didn't lose because of him, still the guy with one

676
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 2: hundred and five career Q quarterback rating, touchdowns, interception ratio.

677
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: All of that to say, it's now on his arm

678
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 2: and his shoulders. But it becomes the question. You know

679
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: you mentioned the Jets, You can mention the Bears and

680
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: all these other teams that have been wandering in the

681
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 2: desert for a quarterback for years. They have a bit

682
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: of an organizational stability that is rare in our NFL.

683
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: What do you got six to eight teams where you

684
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: just say, okay, it's the same GM, same brain trust,

685
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: and same coach, right, Otherwise it shuffles out time and

686
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: time again. So yeah, all of that to say for

687
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: Brock Purdy, you may not like it, And I know

688
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: some folks are like, ah, he's game manager or whatever.

689
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, it seemed to man them, okay, and

690
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: now they hit this next phase in a retooled division

691
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: and it's there for him to go and be the

692
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: elite guy because he's gonna have to take over games

693
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: perhaps a bit hurt in the past. Dog, We're gonna

694
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: do this for the next three days. That's great.

Speaker 2: Celtic's legend who already walked to work.

Speaker 1: do is just laugh because he's just so mad. He's

792
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: so incredibly mad that the Celtics lost to the Knicks

793
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: that he wants to sit here and have a ten

794
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: year old argument of yeah, you guys are losing the

795
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: next round, like that's what he wanted to do.

796
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 2: You know, a red solo cup is the perfect receptacle.

797
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: You know, you think a guy who had to walk

798
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: to work because he ran his mouth too much about

799
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 2: the Knicks and the Celtics would understand, Okay, the Knicks one,

800
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: I'm good.

801
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'll make sure his wheelchair wasn't available.

802
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 2: But that's the thing. It undercuts the punishment of what

803
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: he did. He did not learn his lesson, so clearly

804
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: he did not walk that in fifteen miles.

805
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,359

00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: I mean unless he experienced the pain, the callous yeah,

807
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: the bliss. I would even say, if you want to

808
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: get push in a wheelchair fifteen miles to work, that's

809
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 2: fine too. Now he's gotta get a little motorized. Okay,

810
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 2: you can't put that on somebody else that they got

811
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: to push his ass for fifteen miles.
