It's almost like and it's 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: not a full relief because it's gonna be over the 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: course of the night tonight, right, but after the show 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: is done tonight and then the weekend's gonna hit here, 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: and by the next time we do the show, it's 34 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: gonna be three zero Pacers. Is that by the end 35 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: of tonight I will be my equilibrium will be back 36 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: to zero because the last couple of year, you know, 37 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: it's been bad, right since this awful loss, worst loss 38 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: in the franchise history of the Knicks in Game one, 39 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: most devastating loss. I told you they were going to 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: lose Game two. I knew they were going to lose 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: Game two, and they did, right, So it's it's over again. 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: Seventy six and six teams that go up two zip 43 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: teams that go up to zip on the road, what 44 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: is it? Eighty one and one? Has anybody lost being 45 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: up to zip and going I don't think that's happened. 46 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: But although, wait, wait, wait didn't they wait? Did the 47 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: Mavericks do that to the Did Heat do that to 48 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: the Mavericks in the NBA Finals? Was that two zip lead? 49 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: I gonna look that up. But anyway, okay, so eighty 50 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: one and one? What does it matter? But I know 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: that when the end of the show comes tonight, I'm 52 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: going to feel that that bit of okay. Mentally sports wise, 53 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: the worst is over. The series is done. The Knicks 54 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: have lost. They gave away Game one. It was embarrassing. 55 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: They had nothing left. Their tips is getting completely out 56 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: coached by Rick Carlisle. As we've seen, the Knicks have 57 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: no answer for whatever the Pacers want to do offensively, 58 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: and it's been different game plans Game one and Game two. 59 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: The Pacers clearly know what they want to do and 60 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: the Knicks are trying to react, and the Knicks offense 61 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: always completely stalls and gets back to Hey, whatever Brunson 62 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: can do, that's how we do it. Now He's done 63 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: it so often so okay, I'll live and die with 64 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: Brunson shots. I'm okay dying with that three at the 65 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: end of the fourth quarter when they were down three 66 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: and eight seconds left to go, right, Brunson's the guy. 67 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: But honestly, I know by the end of the show's 68 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: time mean, yeah, I'm good. I'm good, and you're gonna say, oh, no, 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: you're not. Not No, I'm good. I tell you when 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: i'm when I'm when i'm low, I'll tell you when 71 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: i'm fine. I'll tell you when i'm up. I'm going 72 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: to be fine. Because this was going to be the 73 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: result following Game one. There was no way the Knicks 74 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna come back from that devastating a loss. That 75 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: devastating a loss. And I and you know, to hear 76 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: so many people say, oh, it's just one game. It's 77 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: just like It's not just like they blew a five 78 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: point lead in the last minute. This was they blew 79 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: leaves that we have never seen before in the history 80 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: of the NBA. Or was it fourteen fourteen, or at 81 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: least till they were keeping track right, team teams up 82 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: nine with fifty seconds left to go in the fourth quarter. 83 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: Going back to the mid nineties when they started keeping 84 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: track fourteen and fourteen wins and no losses like this, 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: Sometimes there's a there's a mental there's a mental aspect 86 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: of things you just can't come back from. And it's 87 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: not that that the Knicks that that the Knicks team 88 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: is going to come out slow. It's not that they're 89 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: going to just to to to not have an effort. 90 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: It's that when you blow a lead like that, eventually 91 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: you start thinking, well, the worst is gonna happen to us, 92 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: because it did. Right, This is just what it is. 93 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: Right when we had Rick Buker on the show last 94 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: week and he said, and I said, listen, you know, 95 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: for the Knicks, with with the Celtics and in the 96 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: Celtics areas, I knew they were gonna come out and 97 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: not really have an effort in Game five and they're 98 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: going to try to go home and win it in 99 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: game six. And Rick said, you know you're right because 100 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: you do see a lot of teams. I see a 101 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: lot of teams that come out for a game and 102 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: they know we're not going to get the calls, they're 103 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: not going to go our way. And if it has 104 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: happens that way in the first quarter, they go see 105 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: and they put it away and it's a blowout and 106 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: they come back for the next game like that's what 107 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: I That's what I knew was gonna be. Game two 108 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: for the Knicks was going to be. Yeah, they're gonna play, 109 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: but they're gonna know disasters around every corner. They're not 110 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: going to attack this game from a standpoint of confidence, 111 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: from a standpoint of a game plan where they know 112 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: they want to execute, and the Pacers smell blood and 113 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: they're all kinds of confident, they're all kinds are ready 114 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: to execute that. When they started the way the game 115 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: that way today, I said, boy, that's gonna be it. 116 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: Man. 117 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: Seeackham scores the first eleven points. Sometimes the beginning of 118 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: the game is everything. Sometimes it's nothing. But I knew 119 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: the Pacers are not coming in here as self satisfied, 120 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: ready to just go home. Hey it's one one, We're fine. 121 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: They said, no, we did it before to Cleveland, We're 122 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: gonna do it here to you too, And that's exactly 123 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: what happened. I knew this was coming because that mental 124 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: hurdle of a loss like that is really difficult to 125 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: get over, and it's gonna be in the back of 126 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: their heads whenever they play the Pacers the next two games, 127 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: next year, two years from now, when Halliburton's still on 128 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: the team, as long as those guys are still there 129 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: and Brunts is still there, it's gonna be there. Look 130 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: what the Pacers can do to the Knicks. The mental 131 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: advantage that the Pacers had coming in was going to 132 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: be too great because they were gonna come at it 133 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: from no matter what the deficit is, we can win, 134 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: and let's get out big and make them quit. And 135 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: the Knicks maybe not make them quit, but make them 136 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: realize and lose whatever confidence they had. 137 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 4: It. 138 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just gonna happen to us again. And you 139 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: saw the way the Knicks ran around defensively and the 140 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: Pacers able to move the ball and wind up with 141 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: an open three, and they always hit the open three 142 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: when they needed to. There's something to be said for 143 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: execution as well, But to see the Pacers play this 144 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: game that way, and the Knicks really seem to lose 145 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: composure and confidence as the game went on. That's why 146 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: I said, I told you this was coming, and when 147 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: I know the result is here is coming, I'm going 148 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: to accept it a lot easier. There's a little bit 149 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 1: of that release that I know. Okay, Well, I don't 150 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: have to be so wound up about the NBA Playoffs. 151 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: They but don't have to be so locked in on 152 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: the Knicks every day because they lost the first two 153 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: games at home. It's just gonna be a matter of 154 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: time till the season ends. I'm a realist. I get it, understand. 155 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: So by the end of the show tonight, maybe by 156 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: the third hour, I'll be laughing and making fun of 157 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: the next But I know by the end of the show, yeah, okay, 158 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: I moved on. Mentally, I'll be in a much better place, 159 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: which I want to get in a better place, because 160 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to be in the mental place I said, no, 161 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: I'd be terrible, right. I was just sitting around counting 162 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: the minutes until this game, not so I could watch it, 163 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: just so it could be over and I can deal 164 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: with the result. Because if they won, hey, it's still 165 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: a series. It's great. I could be excited. If they lost. Okay, 166 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: I knew it was going to be this way, but 167 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: I knew how I could react, and I knew I'd 168 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: be able. I'd be able to deal with things well. 169 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: You've got a pile of cheese that you can eat. 170 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: I just need you better before you have a long 171 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: drive for the weekend in sporting events where you're listening 172 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: to disturbs version of sound of silence over and over 173 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: again and tormenting your family. That would be bad. From 174 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: land to basketball, I see that there are four hundred 175 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: and sixty five instances of playoff status at any round 176 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: where it got to two to zero, and thirty four 177 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: of those teams came back to win, including last year's Pacer. Now, 178 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: in terms of winning on the road, I don't have 179 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: that subject. Yeah, I don't think that working on that 180 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: data point. But it's gonna be less than thirty. Yeah, 181 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna yeah, because one of those thirty 182 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,239 Speaker 1: four was the Pacers over the Knicks. Yeah, just last year. Yeah, 183 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,559 Speaker 1: but all of that to say I you said quit, 184 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: I'll just say that the Knicks perpetrated a fraud on me. 185 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: I thought they were I thought they were taugh No, 186 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: I thought they were tougher than this that. I thought 187 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: that they would be. The fans and everybody would be 188 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: said in the bodegas and sad having last call at 189 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: three thirty in the morning after seeing a Broadway show 190 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: or whatever yesterday and whatever the Catharsis was, but that 191 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: the Knicks would be able to come back, and they 192 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: did battle back. Right, it's a one point game with 193 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: fourteen point one Brunson, it looks like he gets the turnover, 194 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: but he's got all sorts of jersey and what you 195 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: get the Zuppert films, that's an MSG whistle. I was 196 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: kind of surprised that they put out there, but well, 197 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: because as that ball sailed out of bounds, he even 198 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: looked back like yeah, yeah, the video review is gonna 199 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: take quite two seconds, Like nope, no, but look, but 200 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: there was a tear away. The dude would be shirtless. 201 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: There's a there's a difference. I have no shirt. I 202 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: don't know how you lost it. Sorry, Nick basketball, it's 203 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: stuck to his hand like he's Spider Man. No, there's 204 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: a difference between quitting and there's a difference between playing 205 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 1: on an edge where you're ready for things to go wrong, 206 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: for things to not go your way again. Slowly, over 207 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: the course of that game, the Knicks were never able 208 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: to take control. Every time they busted out a three 209 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: to four point lead, the Pacer they hit a big three, 210 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be My memory of this series is 211 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: gonna be all the three is the Pacers whenever they 212 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: wanted one. Now the Miles Turner one is the one 213 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: that sticks through two games from me, because these other 214 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: guys gonna have games. Siakam, while he wasn't a dominant score, 215 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: was still their leading score at twenty per game. And 216 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: we've seen him in the past in the playoffs, he's 217 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: had big moments, so him starting to get hot didn't 218 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: surprivee me. Miles Turner setting up in the corner and 219 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: looking around like you're not gonna come check me, I'll 220 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: take a shot like that. Look and and there and 221 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: and look, and everything is going the PACER's way. The 222 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: Pacers are playing their best basketball right now, right the pace, 223 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: playing their best basketball right now. And I give them 224 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: the nod right because they're they're playing incredibly well to 225 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: comeback coming out this game. Uh but look that I'm 226 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: saying this all plays into why I said the other night, 227 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: that's it, man, that's it. And people who tried to 228 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: tell me and going to all the knicks have to 229 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. Man. This is 230 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: not happening. This is not it's I don't think people 231 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: really understood exactly what happened because they're in society now, 232 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: we're in it. We're in an era where and it's 233 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 1: and it's thanks to politics. This is this is not 234 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: gonna be political conversation to work beas it's a Friday night, right, 235 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: won't be full of positives, even though the Knicks lost. 236 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: Is that there's certain things that happen and and you know, 237 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: even ten years ago in politics, something big would happen. 238 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: You go, wow, that's gonna be a story for two weeks, 239 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: and it is, and it's something that's it's such a 240 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: huge development, and you think this is gonna be a 241 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: story for the rest of this month and beyond. But 242 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: now at the point in politics where a big story 243 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: gets out and yeah, it's a story four half a 244 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: day and then we're onto something else. Right, it has 245 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: no staying power. No one story has any more staying 246 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: power than it's. Look at this shocker now because we're 247 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: reinventing politics every single day. So because of that, we 248 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: you know, hey, okay, we can move on. We move 249 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: on from things. In sports, it's not quite that way. 250 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: And I know, and I know the way this game 251 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: comes out. And then when you got into the following 252 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: day after Game one, you saw so many pundits and 253 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: experts and former players go, all the Knicks have to 254 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: put this behind they get ready, they will, They'll have Brunson, 255 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: They'll have towns of this. I'm I'm like, you guys 256 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: are insane. You guys played the game. You know what 257 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: happens to some to some teams mentally when you give 258 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: up an all time worst loss for your franchise and 259 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: an NBA history, When you lose a game that no 260 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: one has ever seen, you lose it a way to 261 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: two ways that no one has ever seen. Fourteen points 262 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: with three minutes left to go, nine points with fifty 263 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: one seconds left. There's not coming back from that, and 264 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: and and and when I watched the breakdown of it, 265 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: whether it was on TV list on the radio, I 266 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: said to myself, they're not giving they're not giving nearly 267 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: enough attention to the fact that this wasn't just Team 268 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: A blew a lead late and they won. This is 269 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: not hey, it was a seven point leader. This was 270 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: this was an all time NBA choke. And when you 271 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: think of the Halliburton shot and the miracle. Something breaks 272 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: in you, and something breaks in your confidence and how 273 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: you approach games and how and how you deal with 274 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: with adversity, and and no one was giving that enough 275 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: enough weight. And that's all I saw in this game 276 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: is yeah, the next consider and say we're ready, we're 277 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: ready to go, ready to come back, right, come back. 278 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: But I saw in the middle of the game, when 279 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: they're running around defensively, I said, they're lost. They're absolutely lost. 280 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: The Pacers are still getting open shots and the Knicks 281 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: are playing hard because it's not like the Pacers ran away. 282 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: It's a nip tuck game. The Pacers take out a 283 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: big lead, the Knicks buckle down and they make shots. 284 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: But eventually the Pacers start making their shots too, and 285 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: it's a little bit too much to ask, and the 286 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: comeback doesn't get there. I said they'd lose between ten 287 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: and twenty. They lost by five. It doesn't mean I 288 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: saw the result coming. And this is why again, I 289 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: knew this was gonna go this way, and no one 290 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: gave enough credit to just wow. When stuff is really bad, 291 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: you have sometimes you have to sit and go all right, 292 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: this is way worse than we thought it was. And 293 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: we really have to understand, and you know it not 294 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: to make it to go away from politics. Is this 295 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: is more something that everybody can understand, is that anybody 296 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: that has a kid and something happens in their lives 297 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: right when they're you know, they're ten, they're twelve, they're fourteen, 298 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, my best friend's not talking to me. 299 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: Why because she thought I said something that I liked 300 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: something on social media and I didn't. I didn't mean 301 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: to hit the like button because it kind of made 302 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: fun of what she said, so I liked it, and 303 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: then you know, she got mad at me. And you 304 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: just want to say, your reaction is gonna be, well, okay, 305 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: so you make up what's not that big a deal? 306 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: So you hit a button, the wrong button, Why is 307 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: that a big deal? That's fine, don't worry about it. 308 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: And that's your reaction because that's what you know as 309 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: an adult. But for a kid, you have to understand, Hey, 310 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: this is their whole world right now. Their whole day 311 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: is my day is ruined because my best friend is 312 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,119 Speaker 1: mad at me. Whether you think the reason is legitimate 313 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: or not, it's their whole day and their best friend 314 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: is mad and your kid is upset. So you have 315 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: to come at that from the perspective. Okay, I have 316 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: to understand how you know that this is a deal 317 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: for you right now. This is something you are dealing 318 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: with and instead of blowing it off saying everything's gonna 319 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: be fine, you need help, you need advice, right, I 320 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: need to understand that position. Nobody understood the position that 321 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: the Knicks were in after the way they blew game won. 322 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: It was boy, what a horrible choke job. But we're 323 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: on to game two. Hey, what's up next? Here we go, 324 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: we're talking about RG three and Ryan Clark and Caitlin 325 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: Clark and Roy Clark and and Dave Clark five, and 326 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: Dave Clarker played basketball and Dave Clarker played baseball and 327 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: all that. That's TJ Dave Clark five. So no one 328 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: really understood that this was the reality after game one. Now, 329 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. With all of that you mentioned 330 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: the other stuff going on in media, I'd rather talk 331 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: about Roy Clark. Let's far more entertaining to me than 332 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: the other nonsense that's been swirling about in the verbal 333 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: slap fights. I made it good reviews, good for your 334 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: Q raiding. Everybody knows who you are. You all look 335 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: like a bunch of dopes. But it comes back to 336 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: the professionalism of what I anticipated and look at. Shaking 337 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: off tough losses is difficult, right, you've coached your daughter's 338 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: softball soccer. I watch my daughter with soccer games. Most games, 339 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: she's okay with it, not happy if they take an l. 340 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: But it's a fairly quick reset because there's other stuff 341 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: to focus on. And I get it. You're in New York, 342 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: so you've got the eight hundred pound gorilla and on 343 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: all the billboards. Hey, the Knicks choke this way if 344 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: you're walking around, I mean, that's all that's there. But again, 345 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm expecting you, as a professional to get back out 346 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: there and do your job. Right, say tie it back 347 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: to Belichick. Do your job. I think I owe h 348 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: seven dollars now, but either or I owe Robert Kraft 349 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: seven dollars either way, the point being that you have 350 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: to flush it right, that's just the way it works. 351 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: But since you didn't and now you're down two oh, 352 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: we get to put back on the table. Something we 353 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: theorized I don't know about a month before the playoffs 354 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: is the thin haired, thin skin, red faced, surly hands, 355 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: folded arms on the sideline. Is he getting ready to 356 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: walk the plank? I'd rather think about Giannis Yiannis, Yannis 357 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: will save us? Is he wearing a cape ex exit? 358 00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: Is this Roy Clark? Is this Roy Clark? Oh? This 359 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of Roy Clark. I gotta explain the 360 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: Generation X with Roy Clarks. I mean not not not 361 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: millennials or gen Z like jen X who Roy Clark is. Yeah, 362 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: but that man could pick it. He used to have 363 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: commercials I remember growing up where he would he would 364 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: do his own guitar lessons where you would teach you 365 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: a chord at a time and you would put like 366 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: stickers on the guitar. Your fan. He would say, and 367 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: you get your sticker and you put it on the 368 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: neck of the guitar, and you're able to learn cord 369 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: by Cyah. Let's go man. I'm already okay, I'm already 370 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: doing better.

I've been right. I'm telling you. See, 413 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: part of me is thinking you were playing the ropidope thing, 414 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: because he and I were actually talking about this a 415 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: little bit early. He goes, you know, riding the line, 416 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: you know what would it was better for the show, 417 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: And it's like, well, there's the if they win.

I'm hopeful mentally I will. 429 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: Maybe Magic Johnson will give us a tweet or too. 430 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe because I look, because in the end I 431 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: knew it was coming.

But potentially big news to football wise, 458 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: not NFL wise, but football wise, is it. There's been 459 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: some charge a lot a lot of people reporting that 460 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: potentially Tom Brady could come out of retirement to quarterback 461 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: the Laws VC to quarterback Team USA in flag football 462 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight, Brady would be fifty years old 463 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: flag football twenty twenty eight. Now I'm in he can't. 464 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to take a hit. Nobody's gonna be 465 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: at his feet by uh that's true. No, listen, I look, 466 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 1: what would I say, I have to I have too 467 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: big takes this. But first one is why not. It's 468 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: gonna look like the Dream Team against Angola from nineteen 469 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: ninety two when it's when it's Michael and Magic and 470 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: Barkley and Bird and final scores are one oh eight 471 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: to twenty four, and players are gonna be saying, hey, 472 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: when I'm standing next to a guy in the free 473 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: throw line, get a picture so you see what it's 474 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: like next to this guy. No one's gone. And I 475 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: know that flag football is a little bit different. They 476 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: play five on five. Okay, we're gonna have the best 477 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: football players in the world. I don't think anything's gonna 478 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: be close. If something is close, i'd be just donne 479 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: to beyond belief. But I mean, there are professional professional No, 480 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: there are football players out I gotta think we have 481 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: the great. I gotta think, you know, basketball, I think 482 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,239 Speaker 1: we have the greatest football players in the world in 483 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: the United States. I'm just telling you. I just think 484 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: the United States we're gonna We're gonna we got the 485 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: greatest football players in the world. I don't think a 486 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: team from Canada is gonna. I don't think a team 487 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: from Mexico or Amsterdam is gonna show up and say, 488 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: we're really gonna give the United States all a can 489 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: handle unless they change the rules and it's more like 490 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: Australian rugby than it is flag football, na, I think 491 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna be okay. What are the rules if you 492 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: start to run by me, like say a Tyreek Hill 493 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: and I just grab your flag preemptively, is it dead 494 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: there or does he still get to run down and 495 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: catch the ball pre I think that's a preemptive flag grabbing. 496 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I don't know. I don't 497 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: talk about different things in the rules. How much contact 498 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: is enough? The play is over for you? What do 499 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: you mean, Hey, I barely touched that guy. It's over 500 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: for you. You can't do you flatten that guy? 501 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 3: He ran into me? 502 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: Like, what do you want? You're out of the go 503 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: to the sideline, you're out of the play. You're out 504 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: of the play, and be like we're gonna win that bad? 505 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: So okay, Brady, why not? Right? Why not? And if 506 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm an NFL team, I am more than happy having 507 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: that because I don't want my quota actually over getting her. 508 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: What did I tell you from the beginning? And oh, 509 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: by the way, like we told you being ahead of 510 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: the curve when this topic was talked about this week 511 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: and today with break, Oh, I don't want my guys 512 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, that's nice. We told you that like 513 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: five days ago. I don't want anybody from my team 514 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: out there. Not that I have to worry about Jets 515 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: players being out there, but I don't fast as hell though. Okay, 516 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: I know I still don't want him out there. I 517 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: don't want him out there. Well in two years. I'm 518 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: just saying he could be if he's not on my 519 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: team in two years. Hey go ahead, play, Hey go ahead. 520 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: That ain't doesn't even have to dry. Nobody's trade for 521 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: you to get rid of a guy. Nobody from me 522 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: ext Jet beat it. So I I think everybody's gonna 523 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: be okay with with Brady doing that. Oh yeah, I 524 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: don't have to have my quarterback go and worry about 525 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: some sort of strained strain, injury, strain or injoy. Okay, great, 526 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: because you know that's what everybody we talked about. The 527 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh quote from the other day, right, Actually it 528 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: wasn't from the other day. That was from back in 529 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: March when this was first starting to percolate. He goes, clearly, 530 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: I've got a guy who would excel and dominate. I 531 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: don't want him to play. No, I don't want to play. 532 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: I don't want him out there. How is all of 533 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: a sudden this is accepted for football but for World 534 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: Baseball class, Oh, it's such a great thing. No, it's 535 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: a great thing for the rest of the world, not 536 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: great for us. I pull you to Edwin Diaz two 537 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: years ago. Hey we're celebrating. Oh I'm not the right 538 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: like I like. For football, everybody seems to be on 539 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: the same point, full grammatic. Yeah, we don't want our 540 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: guys now. But but for baseball, Oh, I have played 541 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: it's so great, And no, it means nothing. The World 542 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: Baseball Classic is a made up event. Everything is made 543 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: up about it. It's not the Olympics. It's not even 544 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: close yeah, but it's not big gonna come and kick kick? 545 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: Does it matter? Tommy Lessorda already yelled at me on 546 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: the air over at one. Oh.

Performance? With performance? I mean, 553 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: I mean he yelled at me when I know what 554 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: he might he might have that would have been good radio. 555 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: We might have gotten more dumps than we did with 556 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: the famous Eric Dickerson. So Brady, go ahead, play. It's 557 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: not gonna matter. We're gonna roll the gold medal. It 558 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. 559 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 4: Now. 560 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: The one thing I will say is this, because I 561 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: did feel this the first way, is that you know, 562 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: there's lots of people who play flag football, who do 563 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: it that have Olympic dreams like, hey, this is what 564 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: I have. And especially I think about the one guy 565 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: who said he's the Mahomes of flogg Yeah, and he 566 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: can't even know it's terrible. I'm like, dude, I can 567 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: throw better than you. And I'm in my fifties and 568 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: my arm hasn't been good in like twenty years, and 569 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: I can throw better. I can throw farther than you. 570 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: Come on, man, well you just throw that football. How 571 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: about that? We get Uncle Rico out there from the 572 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: football John and what greis or yeah, let's go. But like, 573 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: I do feel really bad for the guys that play 574 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: flag football, that do it almost for a living, that 575 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: should be able to play. Right, we're playing flag football. 576 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: You know, you go to a big tryout and we're 577 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: gonna pick Team USA, and they're gonna go play like 578 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: you got this guy, gotta have it. I do feel 579 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: for those guys because suddenly, hey, we have this big 580 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: Olympic dream. We're all gonna go play. It's gonna be awesome. 581 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: But the NFL says, oh no, sorry, guys, we're bringing 582 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: We're bringing bringing the A team to this. Ah okay, great. 583 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: I do feel for those guys. I feel for him 584 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: for a minute. You can be on the practice squad, 585 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: you can come to hang out, you can go uh 586 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: shag malls. I don't know. And here is Tom Brady 587 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: being benched for Benny Simonson. Benny Simonson is a liquor 588 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: salesman out of Warroad, Minnesota. Here he is, boy, I'll 589 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,719 Speaker 1: tell you. In the Beer League he plays in thirty 590 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns last year. Let's see if some of that 591 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: last minute Benny magic is out there again. Brady really struggling. 592 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,239 Speaker 1: So here comes Betty Simons. But it goes back to 593 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: the old tenant of the show. And I know your 594 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: life in radio and TV before you and I got 595 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: together here, and certainly for me, it's a running joke 596 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: of all right, what's the monetization possibility of any of 597 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: these kind of events? Right, if you're gonna spend your 598 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: time on it, what is it costing you in terms 599 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: of times and dollar output? Or what are you getting back? 600 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 4: Right? 601 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: You got that's how you're making your decision in the world. 602 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: For the NFL to say, yeah, go ahead and do this, 603 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: they have already three steps ahead in terms of whatever 604 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: The Professional Flag Football League is coming to you as 605 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: an offshoot of the NFL with the global reach starting 606 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: in the Olympics. Ergo, yeah, hey, we're all on board. No, 607 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: I don't want my guy to play, Yeah he can 608 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: have his guy play, because we only need ten guys 609 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: that's the other part of it. We don't need to 610 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: feel fifty two. No, no, no, we need ten guys, 611 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: ten and probably some kind of reserve. We here's our 612 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,719 Speaker 1: taxing squad. Yeah, but all of it to say, it 613 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: comes down to, all right, who's QB thirty, thirty one 614 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: and thirty two. You're still better than the guy that 615 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: that's over there throwing a football over the mountain. You 616 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: guys are quarterbacks, and now we build from there. It's 617 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: gonna be like when when mister Burns put Homer in 618 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: for Daryl Strawberry. But I have nine home runs. Ah well, 619 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: they think of it as a very well played game 620 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: and sit down and enjoy your success. This is what 621 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: manager's strategy. Coach I got not playing the percentagy coach, 622 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: I got nine home runs today. Oh boy. But but 623 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: that's it right. I appreciate the dream. I'm all about dreaming. 624 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 4: Right. 625 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: Part of it is, you know, if you can dream it, 626 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: you could do it. Right, all of those self help things, uh, 627 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: to the tune of billions of dollars, Maybe we were 628 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: right one of those. It's started a video series of 629 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: that you can dream it, you could do it. Brought 630 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: to you by Jason and Mike. But I appreciate that. 631 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of money to be made here 632 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: and global exposure. TV show wins time now to find 633 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: out what's trending in the wide world of sports. From 634 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: man who's been called the Tom Brady of Fox Sports Radio. 635 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: He's not happy about the roast of his life we 636 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: had from a few months ago. It's Steve de Seger. 637 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 5: No, the only roast in my life is like Sunday's 638 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 5: dinner coming up. 639 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: That's about the extent, Steve.

This is gonna 725 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: be the theme for me tonight, right. I need this 726 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: Mets win after the Knicks. I'm not gonna get it. 727 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a three p I'm gonna get a 728 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: three run comeback in the ninth inning and the Dodgers 729 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: will win it in the tenth or eleventh, and that's said, 730 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: this is gonna be my night. It's kind of like 731 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: the shot that Hart made when he finally actually dented 732 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: the scoreboard six points for him in a no show effort. 733 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: But he got that layup that made it what was it, 734 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: one ten, one oh nine, and then you have the 735 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,319 Speaker 1: follow on bruns and free throws and eventually we get 736 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 1: to our one fourteen one o nine finish. But yeah, 737 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: it taunted you. It taunted you in the moment. Likewise, 738 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: that inning, Steve Desager's feed was just slightly ahead of ours. 739 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: So as he said, hey, there was a base hit 740 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: and now it's tied, you're like all right, and you 741 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: sat with rap detention excitedly, like, all right, where's the hit, 742 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: let's see it. I'm just getting the rug pulled out 743 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: from I know, I know. Then the Mets'll find a 744 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: way to well, got three of the ninth and find 745 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: a way to lose. You're getting a hit in the 746 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: face with a giant mallet or pie, not sure which 747 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: giant pie. So let's hear from a guy everybody wants 748 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: to be fired right now. Tom Thimbodau. He had a 749 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: good run Nick's head coach, well until the last couple 750 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,479 Speaker 1: of games. Uh it was. He has been completely out 751 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: coached by Rick Carlyle in the first two games of 752 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: this series. Not so much about the Knicks execution down 753 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 1: the stretch of Game one, but just what the Pacers 754 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: seem to have better game plan for what they want 755 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 1: to do, and the Knicks aer on roller skates trying 756 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: to react to what the Pacers have planned. So what 757 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: did Tibbs have to say? Is he talking about Michael 758 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: Malone takings like, no, I'm just kidding. Did he start 759 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: lobbying on talking about Danny Hurley taking his I just 760 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: got I'm just guys. Here's Tom Timbodeau. Following the Knicks 761 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: loss to the Pacers. 762 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,720 Speaker 4: You tell your guy going into game three, get ready 763 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 4: for the next one. You got to be ready to 764 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 4: for the next challenge. We got to study the film, 765 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 4: make our corrections, get ready to play again. 766 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 2: What would you say was the biggest deciding factors in 767 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 2: tonight's game. 768 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, and again it comes down to a couple of things. 769 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 4: Going into the fourth quarter. It's tie ball game, and 770 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 4: you just got to make better place, more winning place. Tom. 771 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: As you know, Kat sat most of the fourth court tonight. 772 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: You went with Mitchell for most of that went into 773 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: that decision. 774 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 4: Just we got in a hole and then the group 775 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 4: that was in there gave us a chance. So we 776 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,800 Speaker 4: just right right and that were just searching for a 777 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 4: way to win. 778 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 2: Tom, on the second last possession, you got a chance 779 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,439 Speaker 2: to if you shot it earlier in the shot clock, 780 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 2: get the. 781 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: Two for one. In terms of possessions, what's your philosophy. 782 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, like just looking forward to the best look before 783 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 4: the defense can get set. So that's what we're trying 784 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 4: to coach. 785 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: Fourteen point one seconds to go, you have a time 786 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: out left Jaileen at the part quick, what were you 787 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: looking for on that? 788 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? Open floor, open floor. I thought he got the space. 789 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,000 Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna trust him in that situation versus 790 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 4: dead ball where you can lock into and deny him 791 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,400 Speaker 4: the ball. I felt like we can get him the 792 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 4: ball into space in that that scenario. 793 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: All right. Now that now, look, you heard Tims there 794 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 1: a little bit of okay, I get it, But there 795 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: is one big thing that I that I'm completely on 796 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: board with him on. Right Kat doesn't move his feet? No, no, no, well, 797 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: well Cat Kat could find his way to Milwaukee for 798 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: Yannis next year. So I don't think that's not gonna happen, 799 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 1: because that could absolutely happen. But I am absolutely okay 800 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: at the end of games, if the Knicks' offense breaks 801 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: down and it becomes Brunson, whatever he can create, because 802 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 1: that's just that, that's how the knickser made. At the end. 803 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: He's the most clutch player in the NBA. I will 804 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: live with that shot and him missing every single day 805 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: because of what he does. And how many shots he's 806 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: made like that. He did have a good look. You know, 807 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: it's not like, okay, they had to find a way 808 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: to get him up and know he had the ball, 809 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: he had a good look. He missed it. I'll live 810 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: with that miss that. That is absolutely okay. There's so 811 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: much other crap. Oh I almost got really almost cursed there. 812 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: How I almost cursed for the first time when the 813 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: radio eyes started. Yeah, like in twenty five years. Maybe 814 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm not over it yet. There's a lot of crap 815 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 1: that I'm not, but I will absolutely live with. Hey, 816 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: if Brunson has the shot at the end and and 817 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: he misses it, I'll live with that. I'll live with 818 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: that miss well. But that the further extension there is 819 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: he's watched it in his own series and certainly in 820 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: the NBA as a whole. Inbound plays in the final 821 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: couple seconds of games have been an absolute disaster. It's 822 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 1: almost like those things like we should have run those 823 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: back in training camp. You remember that, I said, what 824 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,879 Speaker 1: other scenario is do we need to draw? Oh wait, 825 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: inbounding the ball with five seconds left might come in 826 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: handy at some point in a critical game. Uh So, Yeah, 827 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: he put the ball in Brunson's hands. He's led you 828 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: to this point. He's been a star. War is his 829 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: second team all NBA you get. You gotta let him 830 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: make a play and make make the read and live 831 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: or die with the consequence the fact that Kat's sitting 832 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: on the bench very large, Uh story that bed Yan. 833 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: It's percolating under the surface, right because you're you're just 834 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: watching and you're talking about the greatness of Siakam or 835 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:33,359 Speaker 1: Haliburton closing their balance whatever. Yeah, but uh yeah, Towns, Yeah, 836 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: and something else in Towns and ANDBI for Yannis. You 837 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: can't get rid of o g Why not if he's 838 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: not gonna belongs in New York Garden Smith didn't get 839 00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 1: the end of Game one. You can not guard guys 840 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,919 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. Yannis coming up next, we got extra hot 841 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 1: take coming out of the NBA. Fox
