1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: You don't listening. No Fox Sports Radio Radio. Go here

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: we go, here, we go through the night, all night

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. And I've spent the last two

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: programs on the road. I've been in the I've been

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: in the Eastern time zone. I have a hot take.

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: I feel like the Eastern time zone is the most

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: challenging time zone for this program. Kind of in the

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: middle of true bedtime. Two am to five am Eastern

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: Standard time, Central time Zone is a little bit like that,

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, right, kind of in a little purgatory one

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: to four am West Coast is the way to be,

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: I think for this program. But tonight and tonight only,

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: that'd be the greatest night for this program in the

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Eastern time zone, because I don't think anyone is sleeping

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: tonight after the nickt win. And I gotta tell you

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: something I don't know. I don't know if there is

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: a fan base that I equally love as much as

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: I can't stand as a Knicks fans. It's you hear

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: that saying a lot, act like you've been there. How

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: can you tell a Knicks fan that they've never been

21
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: there in their lifetime? The last time this team won

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: a title, a majority of us that are listening to

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: this show weren't even born yet. I mean, Knicks fans

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: are so desperate for any modicum of success. Now we

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: got my guy, Jason Smith sitting here telling us, the

26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: guy that's been with the Knicks for what three seasons

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: is the greatest Nick of all time? Like, what do

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: we do with Knicks fans? But you know what? D

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: you do? You? You BEU. I'm not here to tell

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: you how to act. I'm not here to tell you

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: how to be. Congratulations that was taken care of business.

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: You can't blame this on Jason Tatum's injury. Boston was

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: in big trouble already when Tatum went down. You can't

34
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: blame this on Boston being tired. You can't blame this

35
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: on anything other than a New York Knicks team that

36
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: persevered inarguably one of the weirdest series. I think when

37
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: you look at scores and when you look at just

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: how it played out that we've had. I mean the

39
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: Knicks win Tonight one, nineteen eighty one, which means in

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: this series you had two games where the team that's

41
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: moving on had to come back from twenty points down.

42
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: You had two games of the six games where the

43
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: team that is moving on lost by twenty or more points,

44
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: throwing an a point victory there for the Nicks in

45
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: the middle of it. Oh yeah, then you had a

46
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: thirty eight point win tonight. Just a weird series. I

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: don't know if you would call it a good series.

48
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: I would call it a fun series. And I think

49
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: the show here is seeing Knicks fans celebrate it the

50
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: way that they are so I I don't know else

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: to say, but this is a this is well, you

52
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: gotta we still got to watch our language, but this

53
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: is a safe space. Tonight Knicks fans celebrate let it

54
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: All Out at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox

55
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: eight seven seven nine ninety six six three six. Now,

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm happy for y'all. I think it's cool. I think

57
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson is very likable. I think Karl Anthony Towns

58
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: I've never understood the bad rap against Karl Anthony Towns,

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: have never understood it. I think he's is he a

60
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: little bit goofy? Sure, but isn't that what we want

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: in our in our athletes? They not everyone has to

62
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: be so structured and so the way that we expect

63
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: him to be. I heard a great term that Colin

64
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Coward used about I don't know three months ago that

65
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: it's just stayed with me and I use it for everything.

66
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: Quarterback eel. You know, we want every single athlete to

67
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: kind of act a certain way, and Kat's a little

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: bit of a different burden. I'd dig it. I mean TIBs,

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Tibbs kind of got the grumpy old man. Which, by

70
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: the way, what are we doing? TIBs? You're up thirty

71
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: and you still have your starters in the game. I mean,

72
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: have you watched this series? Did you see Jason Datum

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: go down? Have you watched out? Injuries have effected this

74
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: postseason again and again and again? Not enough playing shut up?

75
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll with this. Fun man, what fun? What

76
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: a fun fan base when things are going well? Now,

77
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: things are right, eh, but they never lack confidence. And

78
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: we have what I would say is as unexpected of

79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: an Eastern Conference finals as you could get. But with

80
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: that said, if you look at the way that it's

81
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: played out, it makes complete and total sense. Right. Did

82
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: anyone really truly outside of Cleveland come into this postseason

83
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: saying watch out for the Cavs?

84
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: No?

85
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Everyone kind of like Oklahoma City, right, Oklama City has

86
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: had and by the way, o Coloma City has done

87
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: a good job of getting a their own way. But

88
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: it seems as if Okasee and Cleveland fall under the

89
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: same umbrella where no one remembers it. Okac was the

90
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: one seed in the playoffs last year as well, so

91
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: they've done it in back to back seasons. But nobody

92
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: was really buying into Cleveland, right, It's like, oh, well,

93
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: we'll just wait for the playoffs.

94
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: Kid.

95
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: Here, they're taking the season a little bit more seriously

96
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: than the Celtics, who are being smart about things and

97
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: battling through injuries. It just never really had a true

98
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: overall mind. I know that's really easy to say from

99
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: this bully pulpit tonight because they got knocked out of

100
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Really really easy to say. But no one

101
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: was really buying Cleveland, and then they had the injuries

102
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: it took place. Darius Garland was one hundred percent. I

103
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: think it's fair to say Donovan Mitchell might not have

104
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: been one hundred percent through majority of this series, right,

105
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: Several other key players battling injuries. So Cleveland kind of

106
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: made its own bed and the Jason Tatum injury sucks

107
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: for Boston. I don't even know if he put the

108
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: Dame Lillard injury in this mix too, because I mean,

109
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: let's face it, the Bucks looked pretty done as well

110
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: when he went down. I don't know. It's unlikely based

111
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: on the way that these two teams got here, Pacers

112
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: getting in the advantage of a few dings and injuries

113
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: for year number two for them to end up in

114
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals. But I think previewing the Eastern

115
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: Conference Finals, previewing Indiana New York, that's a that's a

116
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: fu job. That's a Sunday night here with Well Arnie's

117
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: out this week, and of course that's Sunday night here

118
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. That's Monday whenever we get things

119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: rolling with Joe with Ben Mallor to start the week.

120
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: Right to me, when you start looking ahead to the

121
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals, I think there's still a twenty four hour,

122
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: forty hour great spirit that we give every one on

123
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: that front. It's gonna be fun. It's first conference finals

124
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: for the Knicks since two thousand. You know, last year

125
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: was last year. If Brunson's healthy, who knows, but they're

126
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: they're in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they did it

127
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: in pretty impressive fashion. So congrats Knicks fans. I want

128
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: to hear from you all night long at eight seven,

129
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven, seven nine ninety six,

130
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: six three sixty nine. Now, if you are a regular

131
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: listener at this time during the week, you know, in

132
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: the malor section of the Sports Bible, the best story

133
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: is always in the loser's locker room, right If if anything,

134
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: if there's anything that Ben Mallards taught us, it is that,

135
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: And I am I'm very intrigued to see what the

136
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: reaction is going to be from Boston fans now every

137
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: single time and again, this is a team that just

138
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: won a title, right, so you kind of pull back

139
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: a little bit and you try to curb it with

140
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: some reality, maybe a little bit of levity. I'm trying

141
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: to use all the big words tonight in the first segment, guys,

142
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: but I just I understand the frustration and the disappointment.

143
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: And yes, you know, the Jason Tatum now injury leaves

144
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: this franchise in a little bit of purgatory for the

145
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: next year. But they still have a talented group. Jalen

146
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: Brown still superstar. I think see what Derek White, what

147
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: his future looks like. Christap porzingis. But it's true, Holliday.

148
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just mentioning three or four guys that

149
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: would be key players anywhere else in the NBA. I

150
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not ready to pardon this analogy. I

151
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: heard it used once. Throw the baby out with the bathwater.

152
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: You guys did that one before. I'm not ready to

153
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: just punt on the Celtics and say, ah, the Knicks

154
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: own them. Now they're done, it's over. Great run, they're

155
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: coming off with title. I think there's a little bit

156
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: of a grace period that comes over the next few seas,

157
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: or at least the next few months in today's sports world.

158
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: But I say that all to basically go back on

159
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: one of the wildest social media debates that we got

160
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: into in quite a while. I was to understand that

161
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: this was going to be the best version of the

162
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics without Jason Tatum. I was told that this

163
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: was going to be when they're really at their best. Right,

164
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: isn't that what we pay all the big bucks to get?

165
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: Analysis like that? I mean, I was to understand that

166
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: we were going to get a tight game tonight and

167
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: that this this was going to be the Celtics that

168
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: you need to look out for. That's what I was

169
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: to understand. But I'm not ready to punt on Boston.

170
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I saw a there's already the article up.

171
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Can Boston keep its core together?

172
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: Like?

173
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: What would you consider Boston's core? I guess is the question.

174
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: Tatum's not going anywhere, Brown's not going anywhere. I mean,

175
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Missoula's not. I assume Joe Mozilla's still considered the dude

176
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: there and he just won a title. I don't know.

177
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what you would consider that true core

178
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: Beyond those two guys. We're having the same conversation to

179
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: a certain extent, maybe even a less extent in Oklahoma

180
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: City right now. If the Thunder lose to the Nuggets

181
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, where where are we going? Right? What's what's

182
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: happening here? You've but you've got a core. You got

183
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams, and you got Shay Gilges Alexander and I

184
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: think with the way that these playoffs have gone, you

185
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: got Chet Holmgren. I think he's excuse me, I think

186
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: he's proven that he is a guy that is worthy

187
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: of a long term deal, worthy of I don't want

188
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: to get too carried away here in the numbers, super

189
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: Max and things of that nature, but I think he's

190
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: proven he's a core piece. Bounce that back to the Celtics.

191
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't necessarily know if you're looking at

192
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: something for the future of the Boston Celtics where you're

193
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: you're you're really having to figure out what you're going

194
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: to do with an absolute star player. I think they're

195
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: in good shape. It's hard to win in the NBA.

196
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: It's hard, and I know that franchises like Boston don't

197
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: accept that because it's like, no, we win every year, understood,

198
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: get it, fine, Good for you, but it's tough. And

199
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: you heard it. I mean you heard in Monsey's update.

200
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: You heard the pain in Jalen Brown. He's like heay man,

201
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: it feels like it feels like death, losing the Boston

202
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: losing to the New York Knicks. Here we are so

203
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

204
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: nine ninety six six three sixty nine. Well as we

205
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: come to you tonight from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

206
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: I sadly report that Brianna is on a break. She

207
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: took VAK eight tonight, so shouts out Brianna wherever you are,

208
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: miss you. But Patrick Sweeka is in to help things

209
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: out this evening, noted Seahawks slash Vikings fan. But Patrick,

210
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what's your NBA. What's your NBA team?

211
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: All right?

212
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: All right, planks so NBA wise here, I like you

213
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 4: am a big Laker guy.

214
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's right.

215
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 4: Remember I remember like his talk time.

216
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: Since we've done a show together, I know.

217
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: We're refreshing along and all. So, but you and I

218
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 4: with the Lakers, I don't have eight second because I

219
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 4: know you like the Thunder too.

220
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: The Thunder a lot this. I like this version of

221
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: the Thunder. I didn't really care too much for the

222
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Durant Westbrook Thunder.

223
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 4: No, this one's fun right now with Sega come on,

224
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: man like and shad and underrated star Jalen Williams by

225
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: the way.

226
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: Yes, Jada, even though he's been terrible the last few.

227
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 4: Games of the fair. But I mean he's been great

228
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 4: prior to that though. But yeah, I know, like I mean,

229
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 4: if I I don't have a second team despite the

230
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 4: football thing, as we know at the football I don't

231
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 4: actually have a second NBA team. But if I were

232
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 4: to have, like maybe just out of sympathy, like good

233
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 4: on you guys if you win, would be the Timberwolves.

234
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: And that's again coming down to the Minnesota roots. I have,

235
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: you know, the family, like you know, Viking Seahawks.

236
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: I think the NBA's okay plays to have a couple

237
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: of teams, the NFL not. So I can't buy people

238
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: that're like, well, I'm a brown man, I have concerns

239
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: about you being a Seahawks and a Viking camp. But

240
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: at the very least back in the day that was

241
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: NFC and AFC before they moved, that is chatt to

242
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: the NFC. That is true. Patrick will be in. He'll

243
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: be helping us out on that long anything stand out

244
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: to you from tonight, I mean, are you. I don't

245
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: think any anybody's ready to just fold the Celtics, but

246
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: I think we're celebrating. And it's fun to see the

247
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: Knicks and their fans on Cloud nine because they kind

248
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: of act like they're on Cloud nine ninety percent of

249
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: the time and then they get beat. But in the end,

250
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: it's pretty awesome to see how how the celebrations are

251
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: playing out. Tonight.

252
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 4: It is really really cool. I mean we were listening

253
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: to some of like the just the New York fans

254
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 4: like saying like, hey, Boston Seal later, like you know

255
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like they're they're having fun, but yeah,

256
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 4: they it's hard to say, you gotta be there, but

257
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 4: like they've been waiting so long, like you'd said it

258
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: best where they're like they are so lovable and yet

259
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: it's so hateable, Like it's amazing. It is amazing. Like

260
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: as for like the Boston like they're hurt, Like I

261
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: get it, like Jason Tatum being out, like they were saying, yes,

262
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: like situationally with Tatum out, this is the best team

263
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 4: they're getting like around actually, like him being out's actually

264
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: a addition rather than a subtraction.

265
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: But like they're hurt, Manuel acho, great, great, take sure

266
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: look like it tonight.

267
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 4: Right exactly, But like they're hurt, they're beat up. And

268
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 4: also they had their backs against the wall because the

269
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: Knicks came in a little more aggression and popped them

270
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 4: in the face with those comebacks. And honestly, what's gonna

271
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 4: do you in is just the mental games just gonna

272
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: do you in there, plus the injury, it just it

273
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 4: was a messy storm. That's what happened.

274
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: It was good morning, Mark Ramsey. How was your week? Good?

275
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: Good week, good week, very good week. Now do you

276
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: care about this or you just getting paid? I mean,

277
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: is this a series where you look back on it?

278
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: It's like, that's pretty fun. I got to see Jason

279
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: Smith skinny Jason celebrate. Are you like, hey man, I'm

280
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: clocking out in about five hours from now, leave me

281
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: alone with his NBA stop.

282
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 5: I'm liking that the Knicks are doing well because they

283
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 5: haven't been one of those teams in a very, very

284
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 5: very long time, one of those people you were speaking

285
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 5: about that they haven't been this successful. A lot of

286
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 5: people listen, like you said, weren't even born so right.

287
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 5: I was around when they were that good, many many

288
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 5: moons ago, many moons ago. Happy for them because the

289
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: Celtics just won, so they just had a title, so

290
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 5: let somebody else have it. I'm in that camp.

291
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: I was digging a bit because, like we said, the

292
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: story's always in the loser's locker room. Maybe this is

293
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: a little bit different tonight with it being the Knicks,

294
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: but there is one angle to keep in mind. This

295
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: is new ownership that's taking over the Knicks, because I

296
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: say it, NIXT, I'm sorry the Celtics. It's new ownership

297
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: that's taken over the Celtics, and there will be some

298
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: decisions to be made. The luxury tax is always going

299
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: to be a conversation in the NBA because it's gonna

300
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: be a whole new group that's taking over. And oh,

301
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: by the way, they paid six billion dollars for it.

302
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: And then you had your star player rupture his achilles

303
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: and you get eliminated by your r trival. So I

304
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: guess there is a true question as to whether or

305
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: not whether or not a Boston team with new ownership,

306
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: a Boston franchise with new leadership might say, we're not

307
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna have Jason Tatum next year. Guys, let's kind of

308
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: be smart about what we're doing here financially. What can

309
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: we do to get younger. I don't know. It's a

310
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: theory that's being floated by several not just not just

311
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: me going acho on you and throwing something off the wall.

312
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: See if it sticks. I tend to push back against that.

313
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't know much about their ownership group, but I

314
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: have found that the recent additions in professional sports ownership. Right,

315
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: you see what's happened in Washington with I keep wanting

316
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: to say the Redskins, but the Commanders and how it's

317
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: been a it's been gotsa most of these most of

318
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: these new owners, this new money they've got in it,

319
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: and they've maybe been a little bit quick on the

320
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: trigger to fire some coaches. But it's not it's not

321
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: like they're just punting on cash now. Dallas Maverick's a

322
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: different situation because the theories we had around them and

323
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: what they might do post yeah, Luca and the train

324
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: and then they end up getting the blessing of the

325
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. It's funny to me how this week,

326
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: and we'll get to the frozen envelope coming up later

327
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: on the program. It's funny to me on a side notes,

328
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: all this this Nicks and Celtics talk that suddenly Nico

329
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: Harrison became a good general manager because his team won

330
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: the lottery. I mean, come on, it's like I'm a

331
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: terrible financial person. If I win the lottery, that doesn't

332
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: mean that I was a good investment guy. I just

333
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: got lucky. Celtics. Celtics, I don't think they're going to

334
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: be in a bailing on this roster situation. We will

335
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: see and I don't think we suddenly turned to Nico

336
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: Harrison and say what a general manager because he got lucky.

337
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: All right, So right seven seven ninety nine on Fox

338
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixth night. Way,

339
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: a couple of other topics I want to hit tonight.

340
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: The Caleb Williams story was the least shocking thing to

341
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: me in the world. Coming up at everything is in

342
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: Central time zone, and I know we don't do time

343
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: checks around here, but coming up an hour two, I

344
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: want to spend some time on this. Right, This was

345
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: seth Wickersham's art keep saying article book was a bombshell,

346
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: But in that same vein, if you have followed Caleb Williams, Dad,

347
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: Carl at all, this is the least shocking story that

348
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: has ever hit the presses. I mean, really, Carl Williams

349
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: is out trying to get you want to talk about

350
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: bad business. This dope is trying to get a son

351
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 1: of the UFL where the average salary is fifty grand,

352
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: when he probably would have been one of the richest

353
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: college quarterbacks ever if he was in the transfer portal. Like,

354
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: what are we even doing. I want to talk about

355
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: business one on one, bro, what do we do it?

356
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that story a little bit later on.

357
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: I do want to talk about the NBA lottery this

358
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: week because I love talking conspiracies. I don't think I'm

359
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: a tinfoil hat guy. May maybe what's the aligned from

360
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: the office. I'm not superstitious. I'm a little stitious. I'm

361
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: not a conspiracy theorist guy. I'm just maybe a little

362
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: bit spiracy. But it just seemed a little bit off

363
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: this week, and it gets you thinking about some of

364
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: the great conspiracies in the history of sports. NFL schedule

365
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: release I see my Man Florio is at it again,

366
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: clutching his pearls over these schedule release videos, which, by

367
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: the way, the colt should have had to pull that down.

368
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Even Tyreek Hill thought it was funny.

369
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was hilarious. And if you want to

370
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: hide behind some sort of thing with Microsoft, now come on,

371
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: come on. The Chargers didn't have to pull theirs down,

372
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: and it was incredibly similar. So just get a sense

373
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: of humor. People, settle down. I mean, these video dudes

374
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: have nothing to do during the off season. Nothing, Give

375
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 1: them some, let them that funnel, let them build it.

376
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: It's okay, But on the schedule at least I thought

377
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: there were some interesting notes. I think you're seeing one

378
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: team that has been crammed down our throats consistently that

379
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: America has started to push back on. We'll dive into that.

380
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Pete Rose got to reinstate it as well.

381
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: One of the greatest crutch topics in the history of

382
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: sports radio. It's all in the dock at tonight. Brie

391
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: of the fun from tonight. This was the final call

392
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: on the Knicks radio network as New York. It's back

393
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since

394
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: two thousand. That is by my math carry on twenty

395
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: five years ago, since the Knicks made the Eastern Conference Finals.

396
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 6: Pyne gets the rebound with the shock clock turned off.

397
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 6: If you want to knock off the champions, you have

398
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 6: to play like champions. And the Knicks did that tonight

399
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 6: a one nineteen eighty one way, and the outcome that

400
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 6: no one in the NBA saw coming aside for the

401
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 6: New York Knicks themselves Nicks and six and they're on

402
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 6: their way to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first

403
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 6: time in twenty five years.

404
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: Bab my math was right. Jalen Brunson afterwards, old.

405
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 7: Bad Game five just wasn't us, and we knew that.

406
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: We reflected on it and we came back. We knew

407
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 7: that we need to be ready, we need to be better.

408
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 7: The way we prepared, the way we talked out there,

409
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 7: the way we made an emphasis to have each other's

410
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 7: back and continue to cover for each other. It's focused

411
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 7: on defense side.

412
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 8: Of the ball.

413
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 7: When we're doing that, I'm in offense. I mean, we're flowing,

414
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 7: and so you just got to focus on all little

415
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 7: things that we did that.

416
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: I'm a little disappointed right now. I'm not gonna lie

417
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: to you. I'm looking down at the call. I see

418
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: Jason in California. Who wants to talk thunder? Listen, I'll

419
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: talk thunder all night long. Where's my Knicks fans at

420
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: where's my PanicIn Celtics fans at Boston? I know it sucks.

421
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: You wear this, you gotta wear it. You got beat

422
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: by your rival, you lost one of your best players.

423
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not freaking about the future with new ownership.

424
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: That's just I don't think you buy the Celtics and

425
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: immediately start thinking, guys, let's let's let's cut, let's cut

426
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown, Let's get rid of of Drew Holliday. I

427
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: think they're invested. I think they're in. But again, that's

428
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: me sitting in my garage studio at Goldsby, Oklahoma, who

429
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: doesn't know a ton about this new ownership group. Just

430
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: what I've read, and if you follow the fung shway

431
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: of the new owners who have taken over, it's good.

432
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: Even if you don't care about the Celtics. The freaking

433
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: Nicks are going to the Eastern Conference Finals. This is

434
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be the predominant franchise when it comes to

435
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: fan interaction, fan passion, and I got Jason to talk

436
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: about the thunder no offense. Jason, I'm gonna get right

437
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: to you. I'm just in shock right now. I'm shocked

438
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: or yeah, Knicks fan. Though I will accept the answer

439
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: that you're not in a state to call a radio show,

440
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: right Patrick, We will accept that you could be overserved tonight,

441
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: because I think if I'm the Raiders, I'm a big

442
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: Raiders fan. That's probably Oklahoma Sooners my number one, number

443
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: one Las Vegas Raiders my number one number one. I

444
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: can't get hammered what the Raiders are with the Sooners

445
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: if they do anything, because that's my yob. But I

446
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: can if the Raiders do and if something good happens

447
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: when the Raiders going to the playoffs, good Lord Willing,

448
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: I'm still around. Holy smokes, it is gonna be ugly.

449
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: White tries to keep me from enjoying alcoholic beverages. Patrick,

450
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: she will be punted on that evening if something good

451
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,479
Speaker 1: like this would happen to my team. So I get it.

452
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: But we're allowed to get a little bit loosier in

453
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: the overnights.

454
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 4: Come on, Nicks man, Oh yeah, come on, let's get loose.

455
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 4: Come on, let's have a little fun.

456
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: To loose. Here's Jalen Brunston as well, whenever he was

457
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: asked a very interesting question.

458
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 4: Do you feel like this is an upset and what

459
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: is I guess to beat the defending chance to send

460
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 4: them home?

461
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 9: What does this do confidence wise for you guys moving forward?

462
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 7: I mean, upset or not, whatever it is, we beat

463
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 7: a great team. They obviously lost a huge piece, but

464
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 7: regardless the way they came out in Game five, they

465
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 7: knew that. I mean, they're still a great team. And

466
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 7: so regardless of whatever anyone thinks, upset or not, I mean,

467
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 7: we're just happy to come out the series with the

468
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 7: win that were moving on, we got prepared for next

469
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 7: to another team.

470
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you there is According to Jason Smith, the

471
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: greatest Nick of all time in year three. Hey again,

472
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you. I'm somebody that would

473
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: fight people and tell them I think Derek Carr is

474
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 1: one of the greatest raiders of all time. So who

475
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: am I to judge? Nicks are moving on to the

476
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals. When you know, of all the things

477
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: that I got excited about and diving into Patrick, why

478
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: do we actually have Game one of that series? Is

479
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: that on Monday give me look, you.

480
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 4: Know what, Let me look into that because I know

481
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 4: Sunday is the thunder or the thunder denver one. Let

482
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 4: me see Nicks versus.

483
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: I was hoping you just had it right off the

484
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: top of your head. I was ill prepared to my apology.

485
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: That taught me, like a minute, I do this a lot.

486
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: Let's see here, Nix and Celtics done. Onto the Eastern

487
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: Conference finals for the Knicks and the Pacers. Will I

488
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: will add one more thing. I have a lot of

489
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: questions on the pace sirs tonight, but I do think

490
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: that tonight is about the Knicks.

491
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 4: And I think it's Wednesday, by the way, it was

492
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 4: it Wednesday, wind Wednesday, Wednesday or Wednesday, whichever you prefer. Yes, Wednesday,

493
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 4: May twenty first, five pm probably on the on the

494
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 4: Western Pacific time for that time slot.

495
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: What are they walking to the game?

496
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 4: Maybe it's go, maybe they're it?

497
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: You know what should to be honest. I have been

498
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: somebody in just a side note here, we're gonna get

499
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: your call today seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I

500
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: have been somebody that has always wanted the NBA to

501
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: handle the timing of their postseason, like to have this year,

502
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: I was adamantly and vehemently against two to three day

503
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: breaks between games, and this year it's been a little different.

504
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: You haven't seen a lot of that it was, and

505
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: it's mostly any opening round. And as soon as the

506
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: NBA does it and they listen to me, what happens.

507
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: Everyone gets hurt. Oh, everyone's getting hurt. Great job, Blank,

508
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: So you know, maybe it's good to give him a

509
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: few extra days, let them rest. I'm sure the Knicks

510
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: are a little bit exhausted. I'm sure that you know,

511
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: the Pacers have a few things they want to clean

512
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: up before they get there. So I will not push

513
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: back against it. I will accept this as a Wednesday

514
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: start for the Eastern Conference Finals. All right, any loose sins, guys,

515
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: you want to tie up before we give it to

516
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: the to America on the phone lines and the Pacers

517
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: and the Knicks, or on the Thunder and the Nuggets

518
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: and the waiting Minnesota Timberwolves. Anything Patrick, anything, Mark we

519
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: need to add before we get to the phones. I

520
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: think we're good, aren't we. I think we're good. I

521
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: mean it's more so hype for just like just either

522
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: way between the Thunder or Denver facing the Timberwolves. Like

523
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: I just think Timberwolves head full steam right now. Either way, whoever,

524
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: they just concerned. It's hard hard to take that against them.

525
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 5: I hope that Nicks don't have a letdown ow that

526
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 5: they've got passed to Celtics, because they got to keep there,

527
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 5: get there, get there, the mindset on the next thing.

528
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: Well, and if you're watching tonight, I'm not so sure

529
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: that they didn't just win the NBA title by the

530
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: way that people are acting. I'm actually kind of afraid

531
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: if they do win the NBA title or even just

532
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: get to the NBA Finals. But Patrick, you would mention

533
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: the Nuggets and the Thunder. That's Game seven tomorrow. So

534
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: let me get to the phones here. Jason from California

535
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: is going to be the leadoff hitter tonight and always

536
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about those thunder. What's going on, Jason,

537
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fox Sports Radio. You get it started tonight.

538
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: How's things going?

539
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: Oh man, things are going great.

540
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 9: You know.

541
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: I don't mean to steal the thunder from the nixt

542
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: Big Night in unintentioned, but I gotta take a page

543
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 3: on a pace of homage to the great legendary Chris Brussard.

544
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: And be like, uh, stop enough with all the Thunder

545
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: love enough. This isn't loving Thunder. Look man, all right?

546
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: I love basketball, right I It's a great sport. It's

547
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: one of the best ever. But the thing is watching

548
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 3: the Thunder right now. And I didn't see a lot

549
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: of their games this year, but watching them right now

550
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: while they are I will agree with you guys there

551
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: are a lot more entertaining than the Durant team. I

552
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: definitely agree with that. But you know, I really thought

553
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: the NBA had did a great job with limiting the

554
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: James Harden effect, so to speak. I felt like they

555
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: did really good on that. But somehow, some way, foul

556
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,239
Speaker 3: Merchant Alexander has found a way to get around that.

557
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 3: And the dude is so talented, he's so good, But

558
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: watching him play, I've seen every game in the series

559
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: against Denver, watching him play, it's horrendous. He doesn't need

560
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 3: to do half the stuff he does. He's dving, flying

561
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 3: in the guys doing everything they can. And the last

562
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: game I remember whether Nacer said, well he does everything

563
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: he can to make condect. Yeah, no, you know what, Sherlock.

564
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: It's like it's terrible, man like, and I think the

565
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: Thunder that it's a great story. Like, but honestly, at

566
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: this point, man, you know, I mean Sor, the guy

567
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 3: of Thunder himself would be disappointed with this. It's insane,

568
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 3: Like you know, he's sitting up there shaking his head

569
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 3: with his mighty hammer like it's it's wild to me

570
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 3: because again, Sja a tremendous player. I don't like it.

571
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: It's hard to watch. And I know Joe Kitch I

572
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: get it. He flaies his arms all the time, he

573
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: always points at the ress. I understand all that, but

574
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: it's like, it's not good basketball, man, It's just not

575
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 3: especially when you know that guy can just take over

576
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: the game anytime he wants. He doesn't need to. They

577
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: got a great team with the Jalen Williams, one of

578
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 3: the still Williams. Yeah, it's just he's fun to watch too,

579
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 3: and it's great. But I'll tell you what, man, if

580
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: I'm being serious, i don't have a dog in the

581
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 3: fight right now, but I'm pulling hard for Denver on

582
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 3: Sunday just to get rid of this clown show. And

583
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 3: if not, if they can't do it, oh man, I

584
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 3: hope the Tea will sweep them.

585
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for thanks all guys, all right, appreciate it. This

586
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: is requires a little bit of time space for me here,

587
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: I will say, I hear you. It's been one of

588
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 1: the biggest fights. And I don't want to say we

589
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: because you know I'm I'm a Lakers fan, but listen,

590
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: I live in Oklahoma. I've been slow to jump on

591
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: the bandwagon. I didn't like how fans. I still don't

592
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: like how fans. I mean Oklahoma City thunder fans. Sometimes

593
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: they can be the worst. I mean it just they

594
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: still were a college football state and they still sometimes

595
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: treat Thunder talk like it's college football. Right, lose one game,

596
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: everyone should be fired. I understand what you're saying, and

597
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: in fact, the very the show got started tonight with

598
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: me just saying, hey, I know Game seven is going

599
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: to be wild between Thunder and the and the Nuggets,

600
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: but this is a show that is about the Knicks. Tonight,

601
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: the Knicks fans don't want this show. Morgan, right off

602
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: the bat, do you also like that SGA is the

603
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: biggest foul merchant in the NBA. That's literally the first

604
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: tweet that gets fired off of the program. Jason and California.

605
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: The first call is like I'm tired. I guess maybe

606
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: for for me, I don't truly, I don't understand the outrage.

607
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: I really don't, because you've seen it for years. And

608
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: number two, I get it. Whenever a team is good,

609
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: you gotta find a way to chip away at them.

610
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: And it's just it's not they're winning games. SGA is

611
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna win the MVP. You guys act like every point

612
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: he gets is from the freaking free throw line. It's not.

613
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: And they might lose tomorrow night. They might, they might

614
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: get eliminated, and everything would be for not because you're

615
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: kind of in a time to show it, okay, see

616
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: time to show it right with this core, and I

617
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: think they will. We don't have the patients that we

618
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: used to have and sports right, How many times did

619
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: the Jazz make the Western Conference Finals and come up

620
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: short and then they finally got to the cham and

621
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: came up short against the Bulls? Right, Lakers had a

622
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: couple of years with Kobe and Shack where it took

623
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: them a while. I remember betting every one of my fraternity,

624
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: every single dollar in my bank account at the time

625
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: that the Lakers were going to come back from what

626
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: was it, three zip against the Jazz spoiler alert, they

627
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: did not, and I was very broke, right So, but

628
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: you don't have those types of patient fans and patient

629
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: owners and patient just mindsets anymore. You gotta go, you

630
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: gotta win. I mean, we're sitting here tonight. The Celtics

631
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: won the title last year. They just got knocked out

632
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: of the playoffs tonight, and there's articles being written about

633
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: trying to blow the score up. What are you talking about?

634
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: So my point, more than anything else, is it's it's

635
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: very make or break for okay. See, with a lot

636
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: of the players on this roster right now, and the

637
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: decisions that Sam Presty will have to make about, Hey,

638
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: who are you gonna continue to invest in? Who are

639
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: you gonna move on from? What's the plan? Because I

640
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: think they have a good plan. I don't think anywhere

641
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: in there is concern over the way that SGA plays.

642
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: Here's another thing. Don't foul don't foul guard him without

643
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: fallon number one. People stop flopping around with Harden and

644
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: he had to change his game a bit. But I'm

645
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: not I don't think this needs to be a three

646
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: hour show tonight with me defending Sga. He's gonna win,

647
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: the MVP thunder are gonna beat the Nuggets on Sunday night,

648
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: and they're gonna move on to the Western Conference Finals.

649
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about it. And if this continues

650
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: to be a topic, we can fight about it. But

651
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: I hear it. It's like NonStop, and I think I

652
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: watch every single one of their games, man, and I

653
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: think that whistle goes both ways. I think I think

654
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: it's the league. I'm more shopping to take with my

655
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: buddy Josh Homer in Oklahoma, Josh and I do a

656
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: local show. I feel like it's just a product of

657
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: this whole league. You know, you said here like, oh,

658
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Sga is foulban. You know, I know that Jokic does

659
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: it too. He's like, well, so you're forgiving Nicole Jokis

660
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: for it, but you're pointing finger at Sga. What's forgivable?

661
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: And what is it? The Knicks are moving on to

662
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals. We know that first time since

663
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: two thousand. We got more postgame from Tom Fibodeaux coming

664
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: up right here on Fox Sports Radio.

665

Speaker 10: listen live.

669
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: I am a little disappointed that Bria is an in

670
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: tonight for one reason. It's it's nothing against Patrick, obviously,

671
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: you know that Patrick. But Derek Carr retired on Sunday.

672
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: That's my guy. Brie hates him. And it's funny because

673
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: he actually left a lot of money on the table

674
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: for the Saints. And there's an interesting article from Jeremy

675
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Fowler that is it's really, it's really and I don't

676
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: do long articles, dude, Can you give it to me

677
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: in like three paragraphs and I'm good to go. Even

678
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: that like three bullet points might help, and it kind

679
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: of lays out. I guess the salatial part of it

680
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: is that a Car representative had allegedly reached out to

681
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: other teams to gauge their interest. But again, it kind

682
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: of sounds like that was even speculative in the report

683
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: because the wording around it is just fascinating, and that

684
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: they all came to the realization that his best spot

685
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: was in New Orleans. It's just he wasn't healthy. So

686
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: Car retires. I don't see this as a retirement where

687
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: he's back next year, but I'll save you from the

688
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: Derek Carr talk, because we have another in I guess

689
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: the cool kids terms mid Quarterback to talk about tonight.

690
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: Because while we sit here and celebrate the Knicks and

691
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: bemoan the Celtics, and we preview a game seven tomorrow

692
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: between the Nuggets and the Thunder, and we wonder kind

693
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: of the place for this mini pa Sir slash Timberwolves

694
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: run back to back years in the Eastern and Western

695
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: Conference Finals. We have a big story involving a quarterback,

696
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: and of course the first number is always jaw dropping. Tonight,

697
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: after much debate and after much I guess you could

698
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: say waiting, the San Francisco forty nine ers and brock

699
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 1: Party agreed to a five year, two hundred and sixty

700
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: five million dollar contract extension. Now that is what his

701
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: agent reports, right, that's the number that everyone looks at

702
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: and goes, oh my gosh. What brock Party is among

703
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: the highest paid quarterbacks in the NFL. Hehets one hundred

704
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 1: and eighty one million in total guarantees, including one hundred

705
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: and sixty five million in the first three years of

706
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: a deal that runs through twenty thirty. Now you got

707
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: to dig a little deeper here, and this is where

708
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: I always tip my cap to Mike Florio because everybody

709
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: has a kneejerk reaction, Oh my gosh, why would you

710
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: pay that much for a mid quarterback? To me, he

711
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: earned it. I think probab Perty earned his deal with

712
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: the Niners. Dude was the last pick in the draft.

713
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: I mean, he was a mister freaking irrelevant. And by

714
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: the way, he wasn't very good in his final year

715
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: at Iowa State either. He had a bunch of nerds

716
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: to cover college football that thought it was funny because

717
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: his name was Brock, so they would call it bro October.

718
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: And he had a couple of good seasons at Iowa State,

719
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: but his final year, yeah, not so much. We have

720
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: three things to find out still number on the signing bonus,

721
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: number two, the guaranteed its signing number three, the cash flow,

722
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: and it's not an extension of his previous deal. It's

723
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: a whole new deal. So that puts him at forty

724
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: five million dollars per season. And so if you see

725
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: that first number, you're like, oh my gosh, fifty three mil.

726
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: It's not the number. He doesn't have a two deal,

727
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a Jared golf deal a little bit

728
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: less than about the going rate for a mid quarterback

729
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: anymore in the NFL, and it's it's right around the

730
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: top ten in guaranteed money. I think one point eighty

731
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: one puts him at eight in the guaranteed money. But

732
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: I I friends, am a fan of a team didn't

733
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: have a quarterback last year. And if there is one

734
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: thing I think we can all agree upon. You can

735
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: hate your quarterback, you can despise the guy that's leading

736
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: your team, but it's sure as hell is better than

737
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: not having one at all. And I have lived through

738
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: a Jimmy g slash, Oh my gosh, Jared Stidham slash

739
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew slash. We could do this all night long. Unfortunately,

740
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: with the way things went, a nocaddle two year run

741
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: for the Raiders, and it's just it's not good. You

742
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: guys can dog on quarterbacks all you want, but when

743
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 1: you have a stable guy that you know can help

744
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: you win games, that's saying something. Look around the league,

745
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: what are the Steelers, I mean, what's going on here?

746
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: Is their quarterback situation stabilized with Mason Rudolph. There are

747
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: the Giants gonna be good at quarterback. You got like

748
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: five guys going through. I mean, like, I think this

749
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: is a good deal. I think the Niners have positioned

750
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: themselves well. We saw what happened when they didn't have

751
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: them in the NFC Championship Game two years ago. It's

752
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: a good quarterback and oh, by the way, this is

753
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: the going rate for a good quarterback. Niner fans, I

754
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: think you should be happy about this. Take your calls.

755
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: Coming up next, it's The Plank Show on Fox Sports

756
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: Radio Stick around fast first hour. Man, Welcome into The

757
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: Plank Show as we come to you live from the

758
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios. Dude, I am fighting my TV.

759
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: It's the worst feeling in the world. And I mean

760
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: not like physically, but it just doesn't want to It's

761
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: a TV powers all powers off. The freaking fire stick

762
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: works or doesn't. Now it's just not just looking at me,

763
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: So that adds to my anger. I want to spend

764
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: some time talking about the Caleb Williams story this hour

765
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: because I thought it was fascinating. I will say I

766
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: didn't come away from it thinking anything overly negative about

767
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. I think it kind of showed you what

768
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: a mess the Bears were, and I'm you know, you

769
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: always want you're getting one side of the story, at

770
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: least any snippets that have been released, you get one side.

771
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: There's got to be a counter from the Bears, right

772
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,760
Speaker 1: there has to be even if hey, we're moving forward,

773
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: there's got to be something from eber Flu's or I

774
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: don't know, I don'tven remember the dude's name was their

775
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator last year. There's got to be something from

776
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: them to say, wait a minute. There was film study.

777
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: I watched the Chase Daniel video and I think is

778
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: really good. I like him a lot and kind of

779
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: laid out the week that a quarterback would have. And

780
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: I just I cannot comprehend in my small that an

781
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: NFL team was that inept that there would be zero

782
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: and I mean zero sit down conversations with Caleb Williams overfilmed.

783
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: I cannot allow myself to believe that. And I get it,

784
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: it's a book. You're going to get the most elacial

785
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: details out there. But I want to spend some time

786
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: on that at some point this hour. And then in

787
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: just following up on the contract that I mean a

788
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: great deal. I thought for brock Perdy, everyone had the

789
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: same joke. Everyone had the same joke. But you can

790
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: say mid, you can say frustrating, disappointing, whatever it might be.

791
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: But the bottom line, more than anything else, Niners have

792
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: themselves a quarterback and the initial reports aren't necessarily what

793
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: we're looking at. Financially. You know, this is a dude,

794
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: that's the guaranteed money is top ten. But this, I

795
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: mean when you start thinking about teams and franchises and

796
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: where they are, the Niners are a top ten franchise.

797
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: So they got to pay their quarterback like that, even

798
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: though they struggled this year. So I don't have a

799
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: big deal with the Brock Party contract, but I will

800
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: say it does solidify another quarterback spot. Now, not that

801
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: the Niners were gonna move on or do anything and

802
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: go anywhere else, didn't. I didn't think that sound like

803
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: they weren't ever gonna pay brock Purty. I felt like

804
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: it was inevitable. But there was just this part of

805
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: me that felt like there was another big shoe to

806
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: drop in the quarterback drama.

807
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 11: Right.

808
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: I thought there was something else to come, and maybe

809
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: there is, maybe the inevitable, you know, sacred cow of

810
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: this program. Maybe the excitement of possibly having Aaron Rodgers

811
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: sign at some point will be there. But in my mind,

812
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 1: now you got four quarterback situations that are undecided going

813
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: into the NFL season, Steelers, the Browns, the Giants, and

814
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: the Saints. Steelers, I don't I'm not evenna pretend to

815
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 1: know what's going on there right now. I can't allow

816
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: my So we got a promo running with Dan Patrick

817
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: on and I have to agree with him. I don't

818
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: think the NFL puts the Steelers in as many primetime

819
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: slots as they did unless they knew that they were

820
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: gonna have the quarterback situation taken care of. I don't

821
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: think you reward them for having Mason Rudolph no offense.

822
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: Will Howard if you're listening, or Skyler Thompson. I mean,

823
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: this isn't twenty twenty Kansas State, for goodness sakes, this

824
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: isn't Big twelve football. The Browns, I mean by Flacco

825
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: and is there a chance for dg or Shador I

826
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: don't know. The Giants. I mean, Brian day Ball can

827
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: say Russell Wilson all he wants, but I don't think

828
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: you signed Jamis and then signed Russ and then draft

829
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback you trade back into the first round, and

830
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: you allow those guys to play over him. I think

831
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's gonna win that job. And then the Saints

832
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 1: obviously hamstrung a bit by the Derek Carr injury and

833
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: eventual retirement, but it seems as if they're gonna have

834
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: a camp battle. So that's out of thirty two jobs

835
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL and thirty two quarterback opportunities, only four

836
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: of them are up for grabs only for I mean,

837
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: I know that in Tennessee. Callahan will tell you, oh,

838
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: it's a battle. Now, it's cam Ward's job. You don't

839
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: take a quarterback number one, number one and not play him. So, Colts,

840
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: I guess, could you throw the Colt? Here's the question, Patrick,

841
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: could you throw the Colts in this mix of teams

842
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: that might have a quarterback situation?

843
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 9: Oh?

844
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely?

845
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, Well then let's add the Colts.

846
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 4: To Yeah, Well, you don't know what you got with

847
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 4: Danny dimes in Anthony Richardson. I mean, honestly, it's who's

848
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 4: the bigger loser here.

849
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: It's a good point. It's a good point.

850
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: Though.

851
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: The Colts did have I think the best pick in

852
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft when they got Tyler Warren. But okay,

853
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: so add the Colts to that mix. If it's truly

854
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: a battle between Danny I'm sorry now that you say

855
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes. It's one of those moments. Whe'm like, waits,

856
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: what's oh, Daniel Jones? That's right. If it's truly a

857
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: battle between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. And they drafted

858
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard in the sixth round, I don't think he's

859
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna factor into it. But I just kind of assumed

860
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: that it was Richardson's job. We saw what happened last year.

861
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: Dude asked out of a game. So you then have

862
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: five where you would say, okay, it's kind of up

863
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 1: in the air.

864
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 4: Can I throw a fun one in there? There's probably

865
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 4: not gonna happen, but hey, hey, let's just have fun.

866
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 4: It's a nighttime. I'll throw in my team with Sam

867
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 4: Darnold and Jilen Milroe. Perhaps I know it's not gonna happen,

868
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 4: not this year at least.

869
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: Well, interesting that you brought that up, because I guess

870
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: it would be confirmed that your general manager came out

871
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: and said Milrose for development. Now, oh yeah, everyone can

872
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: be for development or for the future. But if they

873
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: go out and a ball in the preseason, then you

874
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: never know. I mean, we all know the history. Matt

875
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: Flynn was supposed to be the quarterback Seahawks, and then

876
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: you know this, Russell Wilson came in and was the

877
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: guy Matt Flynn was supposed to be. The Raiders had

878
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: two of these, by the way. Matt Flynn was supposed

879
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: to come in and be the quarterback of the Raiders

880
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: and then a dude that eventually became a wide receiver,

881
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: Treel Prior, ended up being the guy. Matt shob was

882
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: supposed to be the quarterback and Derek Carr beat him

883
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: out in camp. You know, there's there's history to this

884
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: when you go out and you get a guy and

885
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work. So we'll see. I think Sam

886
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: Darnold's gonna work in Seattle. I think they're gonna be good.

887
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: I think's gonna be fun. Well Adam too, that's fine,

888
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: and I like the kid too. And Jaylen Milroe is

889
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,919
Speaker 1: gonna have a big time preseason. I think he's gonna

890
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: be a guy that he'll be jaw dropped by some

891
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: of the things he does. So eight seven, seven ninety

892
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: nine on Fox eight seven seven nine ninety six six

893
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: three six nine. Of course, tonight is about the Knicks

894
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: moving on to the Eastern Conference Finals. Here was Josh

895
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: Hart talking after the game about the difference from Game

896
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: five to Game six. I feel like we just.

897
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 12: Watched the film and I think we were kind of

898
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 12: discussed with our communication, our effort, our center, urgency to

899
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 12: start the game. So that's something that we just we

900
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 12: knew we had a We're able to get stops, We're

901
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 12: able to communicate better and transition and then get out

902
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 12: there and play, you know, play.

903
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: Fast and have fun.

904
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 12: And I think that was the biggest thing that we

905
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 12: just focused on, was just our communication and defensive transition.

906
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: And of course for TIBs, his team has found ways

907
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: to win games in different ways.

908
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 2: You've got to win games different ways, so every game

909
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: is different. Then there's there's really no carryover from one

910
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 2: game to the next other than you have to be

911
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 2: ready to win that game that particular night and understand

912
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 2: you know what you need to do in order to

913
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: do that. And I think when you understand that part

914
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 2: of it and you understand how important your preparation is,

915
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 2: that gives yourself the best chance to win.

916
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, nanks for moving on one nineteen

917
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: eighty one. They'll score off against the Pacers and the

Speaker 11: surprised to learn the winning streak and talking about them

934
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 11: the Pigs. Tomorrow San Diego, he's actually going to be

935
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 11: playing at home and we're going to ride away from

936
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 11: We're gonna go with San Diego FC, their favorite, but

937
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 11: we're going to go with them. And another thing that

938
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 11: I was going to talk to you about I know

939
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 11: you're talking basketball. Another week for you guys. You're talking

940
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 11: about basketball, the New Yorker celebration. Yeah cool, Yeah, Okay,

941
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 11: fans tracking crazy. I would expect them. Bad job on

942
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 11: hearing the Nickabocker fans. You guys should do that when

943
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 11: you're going to the finals? Are you guys kidding me?

944
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 11: You g has a joke. But talking about the game

945
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,240
Speaker 11: that's more important. It's on Sunday, it's your team. Plank

946
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 11: the Oklahoma Thunder against the Denver Nuggets right right now,

947
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 11: the current line, plank, it's minus eight, right.

948
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 1: I saw that, and the Aaron Gordon injury I think

949
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 1: factors into that as well. What do you think, yo?

950
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 11: Well, you know what. I think that's good news for

951
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 11: you guys. And there's going to be another thing I'll say,

952
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 11: wait on plank on betting, wait until I'm telling everyone,

953
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 11: wait till Sunday morning, six am Pacific time, when they

954
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 11: say the official report for the rep's going to be.

955
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 11: I told you guys this last week, and I'll say

956
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 11: it again this week. I expect Scott Bosser being on there.

957
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 11: He's on the report. Planks, it's over Thunder gonna win

958
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 11: because just think about it, Adam Silver. I bet Adam Silver,

959
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 11: and I know Adam Silver. Things. Look, the Oklahoma Thunder

960
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 11: did a record you know season historically. You know you've

961
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 11: got Alexander the MVP, right Yeah, And you think Adam

962
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 11: Silver is not going to want to send them to

963
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 11: the Western Conference Finals. No, he's going to give them

964
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 11: a little help. And who's that going to help? It's

965
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 11: gonna be Scott Boss's so Minors Day. I'm really loving

966
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 11: Oklahoma Thunder to go to the Western Finals and go

967
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 11: and represent you know, I mean, he's the MVP.

968
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: He's the MVP. Thanks, Poppy, have a great week, buddy.

969
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: Is Is it okay that I don't have a problem

970
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: that Poppy calls him the Oklahoma Thunder and not the

971
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder. Is it okay that I'm not mad

972
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,280
Speaker 1: about that? I'm fine. It's okay.

973
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 4: It combines both your favorite things in life, the Boomers

974
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 4: and your Thunder.

975
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. There's no issues at all on

976
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: that front. I I don't know how to feel. I

977
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: don't know how to feel. I'm not gonna lie. There's

978
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: I know. Tonight NBA talk is for the Knicks. Now, okay,

979
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: before I get into let me be rewind a little bit.

980
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: Let's just go around the horn on this one. And

981
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:12,760
Speaker 1: I think this is a fair question. They're crowdsurfing, tearing

982
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: stuff up to celebration. The Knicks are going to the

983
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals. They didn't win the title, they didn't

984
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: make a trip to the finals. They made a trip

985
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference Finals. I get a little celebration,

986
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: high five, huggin, then you go home. This is I mean,

987
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: I got the scanner on. I'm listening to Darien Braks, Baby,

988
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: let's go Is it over the top? You know, Marcus,

989
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: I always start with Bree or Patrick, I'll start with you.

990
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: Is this an over the top celebration for what should

991
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: be the expectation for a team like the Knicks in

992
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 1: a franchise like the Knicks every single year?

993
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 5: Based on what you guys are talking about, it sounds

994
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 5: like they are way over the top because they've been

995
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 5: starved for so long and they've lost their mind with happiness.

996
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 5: They haven't come back down to get with reality saying,

997
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 5: oh wait, have to win four more games, So they're

998
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 5: out of their mind with excitement because they're so happy

999
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 5: that they have a team that hung in there and

1000
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 5: got past this first I guess fish wrung first hump

1001
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 5: of what has gone on. So they've lost their mind

1002
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 5: a little bit, but hopefully, hopefully they'll calm down after

1003
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 5: they get out of jail or whatever they do.

1004
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 1: I my point has always been the act like you've

1005
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: been their mindset right. But in fairness, they haven't been

1006
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference final since two thousand. They haven't won

1007
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: a title since nineteen seventy three. Patrick Swaga and for

1008
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: Brianna Tonight over the top are all good with the

1009
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: way New York's reacting.

1010
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 4: Honestly, the fact that they're just getting to just the

1011
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference Finals, not even the finals, is way over

1012
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 4: the top. I don't care if they're starved or whatever.

1013
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 9: You got it.

1014
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 4: You at some point you got to act like you've

1015
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 4: been there, unless you're beating like your your like your

1016
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 4: blood rive like the only way I can advocate and

1017
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 4: be like, no, this is a fair reaction, like that

1018
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 4: when our Dodgers plank beat the Padres, you know exactly

1019
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 4: when Key K did the you know the and we're

1020
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 4: all going crazy. That's a valid and justified reaction. Maybe

1021
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 4: people disagree but I think that's justified. The Knicks just

1022
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 4: beat the Celtics. Great, granted it's the Celtics, but come on,

1023
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 4: like you're just going to the you gotta still play

1024
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 4: two more series at worst, come on the top so poppy.

1025
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: It sounds like you've got a you've got agreement with

1026
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: two thirds of the crew tonight. I is it a

1027
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: little over the top shirt. But it's New York and

1028
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 1: it's the Knicks, and I think that's what happens now.

1029
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: I think Adam Silver's got to be excited, because I

1030
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: do think the Knicks are one of those franchises that,

1031
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: even though they haven't been relevant for twenty five years, right,

1032
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: and byrelevant, I mean making the Eastern Conference Finals, it's

1033
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: still a brand and it's still I think one of

1034
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: those teams where you say, when x T is good,

1035
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: the league is better. I think, and I know this

1036
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: is this is pain pain. When the Cowboys are good,

1037
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:14,760
Speaker 1: the NFL is better, better, ratings, more money, big sponsors. Yes,

1038
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: when the Knicks are good, when the Lakers are good,

1039
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: the NBA is better, better for business. And I'm not

1040
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: really I think in the NBA, I'm not a big market,

1041
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: size guy fight with Arnie about that all the time.

1042
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters as much in the NBA,

1043
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: but when you're able to get it as an added caveat.

1044
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: And let's let's also add to this, you got a

1045
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: in Jalen Brunson. You got a superstar Tyre's Halliburton. I

1046
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: think you got a superstar. You do have two rock

1047
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: stars going at it in the Houstern Conference Finals. But

1048
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,799
Speaker 1: back to the original point, is it over the top

1049
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: for the Knicks and the fans? Maybe? But I mean, hell,

1050
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: this is a franchise that lost their mind one season

1051
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: when they started like five to oh, so, I mean

1052
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 1: I think they were ready to ride in the streets

1053
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: start fiving old baby. So congratulations to the Knicks. But

1054
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: I guess the verdict tonight is in favor of calm

1055
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: yourselves down. I love it. I love it. I love

1056
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: the videos. I don't think we need to be climbing

1057
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: light poles and burning couches or anything of that nature.

1058
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: But it's a baby step in the right direction. Now

1059
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: I gotta break because I want to listen to the

1060
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: police scanner for a little bit and see how many

1061
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: of you are getting arrested here tonight. I do want

1070
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: NFL schedule release nobody's talking about, and it involves the

1071
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: end of an era. We'll talk about it next Fox

1072
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I'm watching all the videos from Knicks fans

1073
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: losing their mind. It's madness. It's madness in Manhattan. Knicks

1074
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: are eight wins away from a championship and their fans

1075
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: are treating this like they just actually won the title.

1076
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Well, Hey, you're in the finals

1077
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference Finals. I'll tell you what though,

1078
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: I got to give it up. I'm here from a

1079
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: Boston fan tonight before I hear from a drunken New

1080
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: York Knick fan. How about that blind Scott Persevering battling

1081
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 1: through one of the best callers in the history of

1082
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: sports radio. Is in the house with us. What's going on,

1083
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: blind Scott? How are you? Oh hey, Chris.

1084
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 13: Yeah, I've waited on hold on radio shows for thirty

1085
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 13: five hours. This week, I've done twenty three phone calls.

1086
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 13: I think, wow, like eighteen different states maybe, But dude

1087
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 13: to one thing. I get to tell you, man, it

1088
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 13: is upsetting to see this New York city and them celebrate.

1089
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 13: I mean, I can't stand that city. I'm from Boston.

1090
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 13: The city's a lot better here. It's smaller, it's more content,

1091
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 13: it has better colleges. It's more just a better place

1092
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 13: in generally, you know, Like I live actually on the

1093
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 13: corner where the Celtics play, so I do. It's bittersweet

1094
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 13: for me like that they're eliminated. I mean, we won

1095
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 13: last year, but I was really worried about having to

1096
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 13: deal with the fans when before they go in the game,

1097
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 13: they don't move out of the way. A bunch of

1098
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 13: Knicks fans were like really taunting me the other day

1099
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 13: before the game, and I don't I didn't mind that,

1100
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 13: but you know, it's it's just I thought they were

1101
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 13: going to win this year. When Jason Tatum's achilles blew up,

1102
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 13: like as a disabled person who went blind like in

1103
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 13: his twenties. You know, I feel for the guy because

1104
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 13: that's that could be like a real injury that affects

1105
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 13: him for the rest of his life. I mean, I

1106
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 13: assure he's going to come back. You know, they can

1107
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 13: do all types of stuff now too. I don't think

1108
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 13: he's going to do this, but he could cheat to

1109
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 13: come back, you know what I mean, like some hgh

1110
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:00,439
Speaker 13: or some Uh did.

1111
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 1: They even test for that in the NBA, I don't know.

1112
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, like Patrick Ewing, he was from Cambridge, like

1113
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 13: I think he was like twenty three when he was

1114
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 13: in high school here.

1115
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: You know.

1116
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 13: So they're kind of thing. They let everything, they let

1117
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 13: everything slide. But uh, there's not a lot of New

1118
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 13: York Knicks fans that are I don't think necessary listening

1119
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 13: because in the Triston area, WFN has an overnight show.

1120
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 9: So these are.

1121
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 13: All like Long Island people too. You've seen them, like

1122
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 13: you know New York Jets fans. They all think they're

1123
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,479
Speaker 13: in the soprano. It's like, uh, you know what aid

1124
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 13: in the box means, Like if you I don't know

1125
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 13: what that means, but if you're a New York Jets fan.

1126
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 13: That's something they ask you. So these these are real

1127
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 13: hard courts sports fans. They definitely deserve it. But they're

1128
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 13: the most obnoxious people on the face of their New Yorkers.

1129
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 13: They think this is a city, This is a New

1130
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 13: York city, the most the biggest city in the world.

1131
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 13: And looks how they're celebrating, Like you're embarrassing your whole city,

1132
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 13: you know what I mean, you look like clowns. Like

1133
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,439
Speaker 13: you look at this celebrity row too. What's the guy's

1134
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 13: named John Starks or whatever? The old really bad next player,

1135
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 13: Why is he like recognized? He blew you remember he

1136
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 13: blew that game six that time for the Knicks. You know,

1137
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 13: he's one of the biggest embarrassments in New York Knicks

1138
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 13: sister ats, I hope the Knicks beat the Pacers because

1139
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 13: the Pacers will run them off the court. Though, you

1140
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 13: know what I mean, they run, they run. They're like

1141
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 13: a really fast team. They run up and down. They'll

1142
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 13: they'll they'll beat them. This guy, Jalen Bronson, he's so overrated.

1143
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 13: I mean, at one point they had the whole Villanova

1144
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,479
Speaker 13: basketball team on the New York Knicks team. I thought

1145
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 13: Luke Cornett was gonna come and that was so corny

1146
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 13: when Louke Cornett came in and the Celtics fan were like,

1147
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 13: he saved the day. So I'll wrap it up with this.

1148
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 13: This is what happens to night. When the Celtics came out.

1149
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,919
Speaker 13: As soon as they saw the Knicks had that fire

1150
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 13: at him, they had a little bit of quitting them.

1151
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 13: They pictured their suitcases packed. They were on their way

1152
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 13: to the Bahamas already in their mind. But the thing is,

1153
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 13: the Celtics just got sold for six point eight billion

1154
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 13: dollars and nobody in their right mind would pay a

1155
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 13: five hundred million dollar luxury tax. If you say the

1156
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 13: Celtic should pay that, you're just completely stupid. So this

1157
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 13: team might get blown up, right like Chris, you know

1158
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 13: more than I do.

1159
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 1: I would.

1160
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 9: I just picked up.

1161
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 13: I listened to the radio, like, so I pick all

1162
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 13: this stuff up. This is other people's takes that I've

1163
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 13: been saying for the fat past few minutes.

1164
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 2: Now.

1165
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: No, but hey, blind Scott, have a great weekend, buddy.

1166
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate you still finding time even even in adverse

1167
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: situations and challenging times. Blind Scott still checks in. So

1168
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: I was I've been reading all these blowing up the

1169
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics articles during the program tonight, just during breaks

1170
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: when I'm not fighting my TV, and I just I

1171
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: hear you. The luxury tax is going to be significant.

1172
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: But I also think when you purchase a team for

1173
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: six billion dollars, you do so with the understanding that, hey,

1174
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: we're probably going to end up having to shell out

1175
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: this type of money to be successful. So I guess,

1176
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, back in the day, the big thing was

1177
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: always if you think about Lob City and the Clippers,

1178
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: everyone alway said, but they're gona blow themut, they gota

1179
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 1: blow that team up. But there weren't really moves it

1180
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: could have been made. Everyone was pretty much under contract,

1181
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: and eventually they did blow it up and move on.

1182
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: But they weren't coming off a title. And I get it.

1183
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: I understand. I understand you just lost your arrival. It's

1184
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: a new ownership group, very frustrating, but I don't. I

1185
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: don't think Scott, They're gonna go in and just suddenly

1186
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: whack Drew Holiday or see you Christop, We'll see what

1187
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: porzingis looks like. Actually, suddenly they're not gonna pay Jalen

1188
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Brown suddenly they're gonna say, you know what, We're gonna

1189
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: try to get a better pick in the draft next

1190
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: year and the lottery. I can't fathom that with the

1191
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics, but I get the frustration. I get it.

1192
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 1: You just want a title and you got knocked out

1193
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: by the Knicks. And now you have Nick fans, as

1194
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: as much as they're celebrating this, who they can look

1195
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 1: back to last year and say, oh, we would have

1196
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 1: taken care of you if we had the shot. Last year,

1197
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: we just weren't healthy. Now look what happens now. And

1198
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: I know the counter is that Tatum got hurt too,

1199
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: But then the Knicks fans can counter back with, well,

1200
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: we were on our way to being up three to

1201
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: one anyway, and we won two games with Jason Tatum

1202
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: out there whenever you were up by twenty. So this

1203
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: could be a good old fashioned back and forth, a

1204
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: sports fight, and I'm sure it's going to be, and

1205
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure it will be for a long time. But

1206
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 1: if you want to have the true upper hand, Knicks fans,

1207
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: you got to finish this. Hey, you knocked the Celtics

1208
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: out of the series or out of the playoffs. You

1209
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: won the series. That's great, but your celebration does not

1210
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: match a team that just won a series. Your celebration

1211
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: looks like a team that just won a national championship,

1212
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: a world title. So it's one of those to where

1213
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, great, congrats on knocking out your rival,

1214
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: but they did carry that over to it title. Now

1215
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: you got to take care of Indiana and then the

1216
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: winner of the thunder Nuggets slash t Wolves, which, by

1217
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: the way, I do think it's gonna be okay see

1218
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, but we'll see. You realize you wanted to

1219
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: know a wild stat You know, Minnesota, the Chimberwolves are

1220
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: on their way to the Western Conference Finals and back

1221
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: to back seasons. You know you pull back, Well, that's right,

1222
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: back to back seasons Timberwolves have made the Western Conference Finals.

1223
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: You know that hasn't happened for one of the Big

1224
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: four in Minnesota since the Minnesota north Stars did it

1225
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 1: going back to back to conference finals, conference championship in

1226
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: consecutive seasons. Like I thought the Twins might have done it, No,

1227
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: and then they didn't go the al Cs and back

1228
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: to back years. Apparently I thought that maybe the Vikings

1229
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: had done it. You know they had that sneaky the

1230
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota Miracle, and they had a couple of teams like

1231
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: Brad Johnson and Randall Cunningham. We're like, oh, they're pretty good. No,

1232
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: that happened since the Minnesota freaking north Stars. Now you

1233
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: have the Timberwolves and Ann Edwards. Unreal, unreal. Okay, let

1234
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: me pay off my tease. It's The Plank Show overnight

1235
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: all night here on Fox Sports Radio. Briand is out,

1236
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Patrick's filling in, Mark's running the show. Your call's coming

1237
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: up at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight

1238
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: seven seven nine ninety six six three six nights. Schedule

1239
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 1: release was on Wednesday. Now I have if you want

1240
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: to get into the nuts and bolts of it, I

1241
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: have issues with the schedule release in general. For me personally,

1242
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't like the leaks. I don't like the slow drip.

1243
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to announce, Hey, this is

1244
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: gonna be the first primetime game. Here's your international games.

1245
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Just release the schedule and the schedule release Twitter feed

1246
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: that Twitter sites are are even worse. So I try

1247
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: to avoid it all and just immerse myself. When it's

1248
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: released on Wednesday, and I noticed that once again, it

1249
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: seemed like the Dallas Cowboy were all over my a

1250
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: team kind of primetime games, Dallas Cowboys were everywhere, But

1251
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: apparently it wasn't as much as it maybe could have been, because,

1252
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: according to an article that won Richard Diisch wrote for

1253
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: The Athletic, they did not They didn't take the Cowboys

1254
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:29,880
Speaker 1: as much as it might seem. Michael Mulvill admitted in

1255
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: an article by Richard Diisch that the network was actually

1256
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: fine with letting go of some Cowboys games in order

1257
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: to diversify the late afternoon window on Fox and feature more.

1258
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 1: This is the term true contenders ouch ouch. The Dallas

1259
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys will be in six primetime games this season, along

1260
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: with featured games on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, which means

1261
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: yet nine games that will not be nationally broadcast. However, However,

1262
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: since the Cowboys are such a draw of the league's

1263
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: broadcasting partners, know they're gonna get a piece of the pie.

1264
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna get a lot of the marquee matchups, but

1265
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 1: not as many as they typically do. Cowboys will have

1266
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: four games with the NFL and Fox. Tom Brady the

1267
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,959
Speaker 1: a team right with who is an Aaron Andrews that's

1268
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: the Sideline reporter. But Michael Malivell says, our four to

1269
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: twenty five games, only three of them are Cowboy games. Three.

1270
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: In other years we've gone looking for five or six

1271
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: Dallas games at four to twenty five, when that's four

1272
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: to twenty five Eastern. By the way, what we wanted

1273
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: for this year was more AFC, more Philly, but also

1274
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: more Detroit and a little more Washington to try to

1275
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 1: capitalize on the Jane Daniels story. I think we have

1276
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: a better mix of teams than we've had in the past.

1277
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes we've heard exasperation from fans that the Fox four

1278
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: to twenty five game is always the Cowboys. It's still

1279
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: going to be the Cowboys sometimes this year, but you'll

1280
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: see a little more variety in terms of the top

1281
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: teams in the four to twenty five window. And again

1282
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: you're still going to have the Cowboys crammed down your throat.

1283
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned, what have the number four to five?

1284
01:08:29,400 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: You know times that they're still in that window. But

1285
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 1: Fox is Fox has actually fallen behind CBS and the

1286
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: ratings I mean, and it's got to be something that's

1287
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: enraging because Fox pays the NFL more for their NFC

1288
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: rights package. But the AFC star power, especially with the quarterbacks,

1289
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:58,640
Speaker 1: has overcome those deficits in the overall TV deal. So

1290
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you that America's team is

1291
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: no longer America's team. That's not the case. For those

1292
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: of you listening on Sports Radio thirteen ten the ticket

1293
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: in Dallas, that's not my point. We did the cow

1294
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: I live in a market. I live in a market

1295
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: where if the Cowboys were one in sixteen going into

1296
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,639
Speaker 1: the final game of the regular season, and there were

1297
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: two teams that were sixteen and oh playing each other,

1298
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 1: I would still get the Cowboys game. That's the kind

1299
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 1: of market. I live in a market where Dallas is

1300
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: king and that's fine. I've accepted it, no big deal.

1301
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: I get the tickets, so I'm okay. At least the

1302
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: red zone. I become more of a red zone fan

1303
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: because if I get the ticket, I only want to

1304
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 1: watch the Raiders game. If I'm really in the league,

1305
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: I want to watch a ticket. I want to watch

1306
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: are the red zone. I want to watch all the

1307
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: games that are going on. But this is interesting because

1308
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: I would say Fox's willingness to punt a little bit

1309
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys might be a good sign that A

1310
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:02,600
Speaker 1: finally gonna get more diversity in that slot. And B

1311
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: boy Fox if they don't feel good about the Cowboys

1312
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:12,719
Speaker 1: and we're talking about nerds, Okay, these are numbers nerds,

1313
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: these are ratings dorks. These are people that understand what

1314
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: the movement of the market is. Yes, this is a

1315
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: lot on scheduling, but just let me put a rap

1316
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: on it here. I mean, is it fair to say, guys,

1317
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: that we might be finally getting to a point where

1318
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 1: the NFL understands that there's more to their league than

1319
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: just cramming Cowboys games down our throats all the time. Now,

1320
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the four letter has quite got this

1321
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: memo yet. I don't think. I don't think this is

1322
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: going to minimize the talk of is Dak Prescott elite?

1323
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, for goodness sakes, pft, commoner became famous with

1324
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: the Joe Flacco elite conversation. I feel like we can

1325
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 1: now try to double down on that with asking consistently

1326
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,720
Speaker 1: is Dak Prescott elite? I mean, that's where we are

1327
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: anymore on the four letter constant NFL conversations. But for me,

1328
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: I think if you start looking at some of the evidence.

1329
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: You have to wonder, is Jerry's mismanagement starting to hurt

1330
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: the brand? You're always gonna make money. You're always gonna

1331
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: make money. Cowboys are always gonna make money. But overall,

1332
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: if a TV network is looking at the biggest investors

1333
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: in the league outside of owners, maybe even bigger. Right

1334
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: if you look at the TV rights packages, they might

1335
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: have more invested than some owners too, when you look

1336
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: at the full length of the contracts. Has it finally done?

1337
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 1: Has Jerry's unwillingness over the last few years to go

1338
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 1: try to make a splash? Has there roster mistakes that

1339
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: they've made. Is it finally costing the Cowboys more than

1340
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 1: just wins and losses? Maybe so? Now, the magic thing

1341
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:56,839
Speaker 1: in anything, the magic elixir in anything in sports is winning, winning,

1342
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: and it fits everywhere. Hey, you tee of the Bill

1343
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: Belichick's story, me too. You know what's gonna end it? No,

1344
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: not an an intervention front office sports. You don't need

1345
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 1: a freaking crisis therapist to go in there. You know

1346
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:13,679
Speaker 1: what you need to do. You need to win. Then

1347
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,840
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna talk about it that. It goes back to

1348
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: him having a hot girlfriend. You know what, it would

1349
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 1: have saved the Pac twelve. You know what have saved

1350
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve winning championships in football. You know what

1351
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: they didn't do as it crumbled, win championships in football.

1352
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: You know what helps the Cowboys more than anything else,

1353
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: winning win games. Jerry Jones hasn't seemed to get that

1354
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: over the last few years. But I wonder, all right,

1355
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: go around the horn on this one, then we'll break.

1356
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: I know we're up against it. Patrick, Is the sign

1357
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 1: of Fox pulling back some of those four to twenty

1358
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 1: five Eastern time slots from the Cowboys? Is it a

1359
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,320
Speaker 1: sign that the luster is lost? The shine is dimming

1360
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: on the big star in Dallas?

1361
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 4: Honestly, I kind of think it's kind of like the

1362
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 4: luster's kind of and off, because listen, when have the

1363
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are all we damn boys? You know, It's

1364
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 4: like you've seen the probably the meme of they start

1365
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 4: here where it's like, oh, we damn Boys, and then

1366
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 4: all of a sudden they lose in the division. It's like,

1367
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 4: oh wait, we're definitely not. It's it's our time, and

1368
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:15,799
Speaker 4: it's like a clock.

1369
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 1: It's sure.

1370
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 4: I think the luster's going bad on them.

1371
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: Already gone.

1372
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 4: It's it's the lust.

1373
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 1: Let's be real when the TV networks turn on you

1374
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 1: yeah and again, and then let's be fair. They still

1375
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,759
Speaker 1: have the maximum amount of primetime games that you are allowed.

1376
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: But whenever Fox is saying, oh, no, dude, I think

1377
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 1: we need to diversify our portfolio, it says something to me.

1378
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, just because if Fox is saying no, like in

1379
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 4: Fox and the Cowboys, it's like it's like chocolate and

1380
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 4: peanut butter. It just always goes together. If they're saying

1381
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 4: now we're good.

1382
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 5: Oh, when Dallas can't hold up their end of the bargain,

1383
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 5: like you know, talking about baseball within football, when Dallas

1384
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 5: can't get up and get a hit as being a pinchator,

1385
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 5: when they can't pull their weight, the networks are going,

1386
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 5: we don't really, we can't count on them to hold

1387
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 5: up their end of the bargain.

1388
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: Craig cal Craig on Twitter asks a good question. Someone

1389
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 1: needs to tell me how does the NFL schedule Detroit,

1390
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: Kansas City and Kansas City. Again, it's just have the

1391
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: schedule plays out, man. There there is a formula that

1392
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: they go by a year. And now when they added

1393
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 1: the seventeenth game, it's one division will play the other,

1394
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: and you'll play the team that finished in the same

1395
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: spot that you did the year before. So it's it's

1396
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: they've got a Formula two and I'm not smart enough

1397
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: to figure it out, but all that it's it seems

1398
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: to me that whenever you think about Dallas and you

1399
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 1: are a fan like many that are tired of it,

1400
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 1: because you want to see you want to see good football,

1401
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 1: you want to see winning teams. There you go, how

1402
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,719
Speaker 1: about two? I mean, there was so many shots taking

1403
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: cowboy fans at you this week. One more quick one

1404
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 1: everyone was why would you put Allas and Philly in

1405
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: the opening weekend? What are you doing? And the NFL

1406
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: schedule maker comes out and says, well, these matchups, as

1407
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 1: marquis as they are, have been affected by injuries and

1408
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,639
Speaker 1: teams not being very good. Now I might I might

1409
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: have spiced up the latter part of that comment, but yeah, where.

1410
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:18,719
Speaker 4: It's true though, that's actually true.

1411
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: It's just get it while they're good. And when is

1412
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: Dallas for certain going to be good first game of

1413
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 1: the season. From that point forward, we shall see all

1414
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: right eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven

1415
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 1: seven nine ninety six six three six night. I got

1416
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: some good tweets. We'll get to next. Right here, it's

1417
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: a Plank Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right, welcome

1418
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: back into the Plank Show here on Fox Sports Radio

1419
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 1: through the night, all night on FSR. Brianna is out today,

1420
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: so no Breeze three tonight those No Breeze three. I

1421
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: got a couple of a couple of NFL nees. We'll

1422
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 1: get to in a segment two of our three. Mike

1423
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: the Leprechahn is on hold. I'm not real big on

1424
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: teasing calls, but I feel like we got some tension

1425
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 1: in the air to night with Celtics fans. So tis

1426
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 1: tis all good? Tis all good. Twitter has been a

1427
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 1: fun place as well at Plank Show. That's at Plank

1428
01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 1: Show is the best way to get in touch with

1429
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: the program. Let's see here, Craig. Craig had more than

1430
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: just the schedule question. He goes, Okay, here we go.

1431
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 1: Nicks needed to win tonight or they would have caught

1432
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 1: it from everyone from you to Steven A. If Gordon's

1433
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: out in the thunder game, Jo Kich is gonna have

1434
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: to go for sixty to thirty and twenty for the

1435
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 1: Nuggets to win and pretty for five all right, Purty

1436
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:40,960
Speaker 1: five years for two sixty five, mister irrelevant is now legit.

1437
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: Boom boom boom. Craig hit all the big stories tonight. Okay.

1438
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 1: First of all, absolutely one hundred percent. Had the Knicks

1439
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:52,839
Speaker 1: lost tonight, it would have set up I mean, grip

1440
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: City in Game seven. I think Game seven they would

1441
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: have turned around and played it on Monday. But if

1442
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: if they would have had to worry about going back

1443
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: to Boston for a Game seven, lookout, I think I

1444
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 1: think Blind Scott hit it on the head. I think

1445
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: Boston came out early on, got punched in the face

1446
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: and couldn't match the intensity and just tapped out and

1447
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:19,839
Speaker 1: it was over. But you're right, they needed this tonight.

1448
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: And you know the thing is, they're big in games

1449
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: like tonight for the Knicks, games like tomorrow for the

1450
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: Thunder and the Nuggets, games like Wednesday Game one for

1451
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: the Pacers and the Knicks. You need your best players.

1452
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: This is gonna now you guys. This might need to

1453
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 1: be a promo, okay, because I don't think anyone has

1454
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: ever said this before in the history of sports radio.

1455
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 1: Your best players have to be your best players. You cannot.

1456
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: You need your supporting cast to play well, but you

1457
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: need your stars to be stars, and they were tonight

1458
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 1: for the Knicks. Unfortunately for the Celtics, they weren't too

1459
01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 1: big of a hole to dig out of it. Now,

1460
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon is doubtful for Sunday's Game seven against the Thunder.

1461
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: According to a myriad of reports out there, Gordon he's

1462
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 1: been he's been playing well in the postseason sixteen point

1463
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 1: eight points per game, seven boards, and hit that game

1464
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: winning three against the Thunder in Game one. And here's

1465
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: a wild stat for you. The Nuggets are five and

1466
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:28,639
Speaker 1: oh this postseason when Aaron Gordon scores at least twenty

1467
01:18:28,680 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 1: points and his seven assists that he had in Game

1468
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: six tied for the most of his playoff career. I mean,

1469
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: he's been injured most of the season. He sat out

1470
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: two longer stretches this year. Had to write calf strain

1471
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: that he's been managing. But it was a weird moment

1472
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 1: in the game too, because it was like a minute

1473
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: left and it was pretty much over. But you never

1474
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 1: know with the explosiveness of OKC and you know, they

1475
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: just hit a couple of threes and Denver just did

1476
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: not managed a late game well. But he's going for

1477
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: a loose ball and just comes up lame. In fact,

1478
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,679
Speaker 1: the ball ended up hitting off his leg and going

1479
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: out of bounds, and he stayed in the game. That's

1480
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: the craziest part of it. He stayed in the game

1481
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 1: after that happened. That's major. And here's I'm knocking on

1482
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 1: wood because you just never know. Here's the wild thing.

1483
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 1: Chet Holmgreen got hurt early this season for Oka see

1484
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 1: Hartenstein's was deemed up early in the year. OKAC has

1485
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: been incredibly solid in avoiding the injury bug. They just

1486
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 1: it hasn't been an issue. Everyone else, seemingly in this

1487
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: playoffs have been affected by it in some way, shape

1488
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 1: or form. OKAYC has been pretty clean, so either you know,

1489
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 1: I tend to find whenever team's go on championship runs

1490
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: outside of Jeff Hostetler in for Phil Simms, that you

1491
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 1: look back and when you look at their season, you

1492
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of realize how healthy they stayed. And I think

1493
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: that's something with the thunder that people don't talk about

1494
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,720
Speaker 1: a lot. They've stayed incredibly healthy this entire season, and

1495
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,599
Speaker 1: you know, it's just we'll see how it pans out

1496
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 1: come tomorrow. I thought they looked like the fresher team

1497
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: in Game five. I thought they looked like a team

1498
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: that were that was playing a Game seven on no

1499
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: sleep in game six. It's gonna be a fun one.

1500
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:26,440
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it more next hour plus. There's rumors

1501
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: and conspiracy theories out there about the inn be a lottery.

1502
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 1: I'll give you in place of Breeze. Three's my all

1503
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:40,720
Speaker 1: time greatest sports conspiracies. Next on Fox Sports Radio, Guy

1504
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: the next what is Jason Smith always say? Nix Yoh,

1505
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,599
Speaker 1: the Knicks won the title tonight. Based on the way

1506
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:53,719
Speaker 1: they're celebrating, congratulations, your third NBA title took a while

1507
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 1: to get here. Apparently, Jalen Brunson's the greatest Nick of

1508
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: all time. Will say, act like you've been there and

1509
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: not be nice. They haven't been there in a long time,

1510
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: first time in twenty five years. I don't know how

1511
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: I would act if that was my team. It's not

1512
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 1: so as the night is gone, it's it's fair to say.

1513
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: And with Breout, Patrick Zan and we kind of share

1514
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: the same feeling on this. It's fun. I'm happy for

1515
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 1: Knicks fans Arnie span You're my buddy. On Sunday nights,

1516
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: Every Sunday night from ten p to one a Central Time,

1517
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: we host a show called Arnie and Plank. And he's

1518
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 1: off this weekend because he's on vacation. So I'm happy

1519
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: for him that he has a vacation. I'm sad that

1520
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: he's not able to finally talk about the Knicks winning

1521
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 1: when they actually win. So my my view on Knicks

1522
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 1: fans is Jason Smith and Arnie Spany And that's the

1523
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: two Knicks fans that I know in my life pretty much,

1524
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: the only two I've met, I think in person my

1525
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 1: whole life, and I think it kind of fits like, oh,

1526
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: I love this guy, and then they're like otherwise, like gosh,

1527
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 1: they're so they can't stand this guy, right, I mean,

1528
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: that's Knicks fan. It is awesome. Look at him celebrating.

1529
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 1: That's cool. It's it's sid What a win.

1530
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 4: I mean you playing?

1531
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 9: Wow?

1532
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: Pretty good? That's pretty good? Pretty good?

1533
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 4: God, you had you had to bust it out at

1534
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 4: least once, at least.

1535
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:15,759
Speaker 1: One tonight, thirty eight point win. They lost two games

1536
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: by twenty and came back from twenty down to two games.

1537
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 1: It makes no sense, It makes no sense. Oh my goodness,

1538
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 1: do you want to get I don't know if Knicks

1539
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: fans are are in tonight. I don't know if you

1540
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 1: guys are elated, you're over the top emotional. Whatever it

1541
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: is I'm happy for. You might need to chill out

1542
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 1: a little bit because the Eastern Conference Finals start on Wednesday.

1543
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: And while I'm excited to see what the matter is,

1544
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 1: what the garden is gonna look like, I also wonder

1545
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: if you do realize you did not win the title tonight.

1546
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we're good, right, Knicks fans were good, you

1547
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: didn't win the title. Kim Gots though, got a game

1548
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: seven tomorrow we'll be talking about and I got a

1549
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 1: lot of NFL and I want you get used to

1550
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: rack your brain here because coming up in exactly fifteen

1551
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: minutes from now, fifteen minutes, we're going to tackle the

1552
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 1: conspiracy around the NBA Draft lottery and ask a very

1553
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: simple question. This is Hackey Radio. Ben Maller would disown

1554
01:23:21,120 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: me as one of his prodigies if he knew this

1555
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: favorite most believable sports conspiracy theory. You buy into you

1556
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: put that tenfoil cap on, do you buy the frozen envelope.

1557
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 1: This is the kind of topic that's made for summer radio.

1558
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:37,759
Speaker 1: But I got all in this week because I started

1559
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 1: buying into great conspiracy theories and there's more out there

1560
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: than I even realized. Like there's some of them. There's

1561
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 1: some of them that I thought, whoa wait, hold on

1562
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:51,679
Speaker 1: what what? So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

1563
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: We'll get into that coming up, And just to be

1564
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 1: is there anything else you guys feel like I'm leaving

1565
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 1: out as far as the major stories. I just I've

1566
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: been so sucked in by the Nixon Celtics. And I know,

1567
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 1: for the most part, my overnight audience doesn't care for

1568
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 1: my Nick Saban conversation or any of my college football rules.

1569
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 1: No one cares about the Elte conversation. Whenever it comes

1570
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:13,480
Speaker 1: to what are they going to do with the overall

1571
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:18,720
Speaker 1: nil deals being? Nobody cares about that. But I think

1572
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: we're good. I think we're good. So let's get Mike

1573
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: the lepren in here. We're due for a little fun

1574
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: this hour. What's going on? Mike? How are you?

1575
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 9: I'll play you at tune in a mirrte. Good morning, Griss,

1576
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 9: Good morning, Mike, How are you good? Morning, Good morning,

1577
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 9: and good morning. The Celtics shucks last night. I mustn't.

1578
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 9: I mean, like blind Scotts correctly pointed out, they came

1579
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:46,600
Speaker 9: in to fight, but then they backed off and the

1580
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 9: attacked their bands or Hawaii whatever, it's true, but anyway,

1581
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 9: you just had a good point. The New York bands

1582
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 9: are probably all sleeping in the celebrating. And I went

1583
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 9: to bed in the third quarter just to be up

1584
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 9: for your show because the game was basically over. It

1585
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:06,639
Speaker 9: was over a half time.

1586
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:10,760
Speaker 1: Well that's when I fell asleep, So I'm glad that

1587
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: it was over.

1588
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 9: Yes, you made some big news.

1589
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: What's that?

1590
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 9: Hen prisoners escaped from a jail in louis Louisiana, and

1591
01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 9: there's still seven of them? Yeah what escape? Yes? And

1592
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 9: that okay, okay, then and.

1593
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Then hold on, no you can't. You can't bring this

1594
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 1: up and then just try to move on from it.

1595
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 1: They escaped, They escaped through a wall where the toilet was.

1596
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,600
Speaker 1: They capt Now you said they've captured. How many of

1597
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 1: them they this this story has three have been.

1598
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 9: Captured, they caught, they caught three, but that's seven on

1599
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:53,680
Speaker 9: the loose. Well, Louisiana. That Louisiana for you.

1600
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: Had on a swivel. New Orleans had on a swivel tonight.

1601
01:25:57,120 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 1: All right, So what else you got for me tonight, Mike, Oh.

1602
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:03,719
Speaker 9: I have a lot more Dallas Maverick conspiracy theory, one

1603
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 9: chance of winning just on the same exact few months

1604
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 9: that they give away Luca Luca. I mean that's clearly fishy.

1605
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: I would say fishy, especially whenever you consider how little

1606
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: they got in return. Now, if the Lakers would have

1607
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,800
Speaker 1: been able to keep if the Lakers would have been who,

1608
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 1: if the Lakers would have been able to keep Anthony

1609
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: Davis in that deal, then I think we really really

1610
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: would have had something more as far as conspiracies on

1611
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: that front.

1612
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 9: Anthony Davis is a piece of person. I mean, his

1613
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:37,679
Speaker 9: side jokes. I'm going to la, I'm going okay, blind

1614
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 9: Scox tons it down for your show, just so you.

Speaker 9: What do you mean he told you should hear him

1617
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 9: on the Ben Valor Show. He's obscene and he's always

Speaker 9: grama queen and no do you ever listen to the

1619

Speaker 1: know if he has a hit on his hand with

1653
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 1: that or not, but it was at least an attempt. Okay,

01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 1: So now he's got me in on these these prison escapees?

1655

Speaker 4: What am I doing?

1659
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:11,680
Speaker 1: I think he was mad because Mark was playing the

1660
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: sound effects over.

1661
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 4: As he should have. Those were great sounds.

1662
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 1: Mighty, Oh my gosh. They have video of this hold on.

1663
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: This is just ruined the rest of my night. So

1664
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 1: if you're wondering the story, then Mike the Leprechaun has

1665
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 1: brought to the show tonight, which is probably up there

1666
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 1: with his sports takes. Ten inmates broke out of a

1667
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 1: New Orleans jail Friday, escaping through a hole that was

1668
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: in a cell wall. The inmates were then seen on

1669
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:41,719
Speaker 1: surveillance video leaving through a door on the loading dock,

1670
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: having shed their orange jail uniforms. They have the names

1671
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:51,680
Speaker 1: here the Chief's office. The Sheriff's Office warned that the

1672
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 1: remaining escape he should be considered armed and dangerous. What

1673
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:01,960
Speaker 1: are we doing? A civilian employee of the Shriff's office

1674
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 1: was the only person monitoring security systems in the part

1675
01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:09,800
Speaker 1: of the jail where the escape occurred, had left his

1676
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 1: station at the time to get food. Three Sheriff's Office

1677
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 1: employees have been suspended without pay. Well, it didn't take

1678
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 1: them long to suspend those dudes without pay. Officials said

1679
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 1: they were investigating multiple security failures. The jail was placed

1680
01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:30,000
Speaker 1: on lockdown. It was placed on lockdown the night before

1681
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: the escape. The inmates began tampering with a locked cell

1682
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 1: door and ultimately broke it open. The officer blames defective

1683
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:44,679
Speaker 1: locks and doors. Oh my gosh, what are we doing?

1684
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:48,439
Speaker 1: I mean, they literally ripped a toilet out of the wall.

1685
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, Michael Leprechaun. I'm sure there's people that are

1686
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 1: yelling at me right now. I was like, hey, plank,

1687
01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:57,320
Speaker 1: spitch story, but talking about all day long, not me,

1688
01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 1: not me, Okay, it's news to me, and I find

1689
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:08,040
Speaker 1: it fascinating. Uh oh oh, now we've got the WWLTV wonders.

1690
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:12,160
Speaker 4: Was it an inside job? Okay, well, I guess you

1691
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:15,799
Speaker 4: could say some of these theories have gone down the crapper.

1692
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 4: Yeah good, very good, very good, very good. Huh Okay,

1693
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 4: we'll be on the lookout of Noline. They got they

1694
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 4: got three of them, there's still seven on the loose.

1695
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 4: We did you know what we need? We need a

1696
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:30,600
Speaker 4: good police.

1697
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,720
Speaker 1: Chase in Los Angeles tonight to go along with our

1698
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 1: good prison break story. Hope everyone's safe though, no, no

1699
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:40,200
Speaker 1: if Ann's or Butt's, no joking about it, because, as

1700
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 1: Arnie Spaniel would say, be safe out there all right.

1701
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,479
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

1702
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:48,320
Speaker 1: nine ninety six sixty three six nine. As always, it's funny.

1703
01:31:48,360 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 1: Get involved with the program. On Twitter tonight, we've been

1704
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:53,800
Speaker 1: talking a lot about the win for the Boston for

1705
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:56,840
Speaker 1: the New York Knicks over the Boston Celtics. You've you've

1706
01:31:56,880 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 1: heard Jalen Brown talk about death. Here's his feelings after

1707
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 1: the Celtics were eliminated in six.

1708
01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 8: It's things as it should, you know, anytime, you know,

1709
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:17,040
Speaker 8: losing stings, especially finishing the season like this, you know,

1710
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 8: but uh, you know, it just wasn't our year.

1711
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:27,639
Speaker 1: It wasn't our year, and our best player got hurt.

1712
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 1: Nick San would immediately tell you what he was also

1713
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 1: hurt whenever you guys were down essentially three games to one.

1714
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 8: Things didn't go our way this year, and it's unfortunate,

1715
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 8: but you know, we hold our head up regardless losing

1716
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 8: to the Knicks. You know, it feels like death, but

1717
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 8: I was always taught that there's light after there's life

1718
01:32:47,360 --> 01:32:51,559
Speaker 8: after death. So we'll get ready for whatever's next, whatever's

1719
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:53,800
Speaker 8: next in the journey, I'll be ready for.

1720
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there is a part where you hear something

1721
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:05,880
Speaker 1: like that and you will want to walk up and

1722
01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: be like, hey, dude, you're gonna be okay, You're gonna

1723
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:09,679
Speaker 1: be okay.

1724
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 4: He's going through it right now.

1725
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great way to put it. He is

1726
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:18,639
Speaker 1: going through it right now, like dath how's Joe Missoula

1727
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 1: handling things. Let's see, I'll see.

1728
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,559
Speaker 14: Best throughout the season, our guys had the right mindset

1729
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 14: and the right process towards going after it. Uh you know,

1730
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:27,600
Speaker 14: you obviously it's not going to go the way you

1731
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 14: want to.

1732
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 11: Like the way we end it.

1733
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:32,160
Speaker 14: He just you know, ran into a great team in

1734
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:33,599
Speaker 14: the second round and they got the best of us.

1735
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it sounds like he's pretty down to earth.

1736
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: I think fans that are invested as much as Celtics

1737
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:45,400
Speaker 1: fans appear to be, they want more scorched earth. They

1738
01:33:45,400 --> 01:33:47,559
Speaker 1: don't want logical thinking like this.

1739
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:51,080
Speaker 14: To me, it's more about the you know, the mindset

1740
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:52,720
Speaker 14: and the process that the guys had throughout the season.

1741
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 14: I thought they gave everything that. I thought they really

1742
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 14: went after trying to achieve something that's obviously extremely difficult.

1743
01:33:57,880 --> 01:33:59,200
Speaker 14: I thought they went after that. And when you go

1744
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:01,080
Speaker 14: after something, this is the price you pay.

1745
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:05,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, you lose a game. We'll see how the Celtics

1746
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 1: bounce back. I think I hit just about everything good

1747
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:11,360
Speaker 1: from all the sound from last night. Oh yeah, one more.

1748
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: Tom Thibodeau was asked if this was well the questions

1749
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 1: with it.

1750
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:21,520
Speaker 8: Would you say tonight's performance was the best in the postseason?

1751
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 2: Probably, you know, and we knew we would have to

1752
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 2: play forty eight minutes against them. They're terrific on both

1753
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:36,040
Speaker 2: sides of the ball. They play their style no matter what,

1754
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,600
Speaker 2: and so they're not going to hand you anything, you know,

1755
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:42,240
Speaker 2: you have to earn it, and I felt that.

1756
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:47,360
Speaker 1: We did that right. We'll see. I'm really intrigued by Indiana,

1757
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 1: you know the other side of this, And I know

1758
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 1: I talked earlier in the program that tonight's more about

1759
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:54,400
Speaker 1: the Knicks, and tonight's about celebrating New York, moving on

1760
01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:57,320
Speaker 1: and questioning what's next for Boston. You know, are the

1761
01:34:57,320 --> 01:35:01,280
Speaker 1: Pacers a team with its core that is ready to

1762
01:35:01,320 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 1: take that next step or is it a team that,

1763
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:06,600
Speaker 1: over two seasons and two playoff runts, has got some

1764
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 1: incredible breaks. I mean the NFL, I'm sorry, college football.

1765
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:17,519
Speaker 1: Bill Connley really talented numbers nerd for ESPN. He has

1766
01:35:17,680 --> 01:35:21,640
Speaker 1: a I guess you could say rating system, the S

1767
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:24,760
Speaker 1: and P Index, and he'll have this thing called the

1768
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,240
Speaker 1: luck Index, and they just released it this week and

1769
01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:30,160
Speaker 1: it's very confusing. I mean it. I think you can

1770
01:35:30,160 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 1: make it very simple and say, hey, this team got

1771
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 1: lucky because of you know, turnovers and things that you

1772
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 1: can't control. Injuries. Right this this team ended up having

1773
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:39,559
Speaker 1: a good season because either they stayed healthy or they

1774
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 1: played a team that was without their quarterback. There's a

1775
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 1: lot of things that can go into it, and you

1776
01:35:44,160 --> 01:35:46,599
Speaker 1: look at teams and you realize that maybe Indiana guy

1777
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:48,719
Speaker 1: a little lucky last year. It happens. I'm a believer

1778
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 1: that you create your own luck. But there's also something

1779
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 1: to be said whenever another team's best player and their

1780
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,920
Speaker 1: one a player goes down in consecutive series. And there's

1781
01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:01,240
Speaker 1: another thing to be said when the exact same thing

1782
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:03,760
Speaker 1: happened exactly three hundred and sixty five days ago. For

1783
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:05,640
Speaker 1: a team, they still have to take advantage of it.

1784
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:07,640
Speaker 1: But I wonder how people are viewing in the end.

1785
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:10,360
Speaker 1: I mean, back to back trips to the conference finals

1786
01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 1: is something else? I mean in a league now that

1787
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 1: with the loss by Boston, the NBA will have a

1788
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 1: seventh different champion for the seventh consecutive season. And for

1789
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 1: those of you that preach and preacher preach about parody

1790
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:31,880
Speaker 1: in different sports, I mean, is that does that make

1791
01:36:31,920 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 1: the league more successful? I don't think so. I think

1792
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:39,160
Speaker 1: that if you look back at if you want to

1793
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 1: gauge success, well, it depends on how you gauge success. Right.

1794
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 1: TV ratings wise a little bit rough right now, but

1795
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 1: as far as revenue gained from the TV deals, pretty good, right,

1796
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 1: And a lot of people say you need more parody. Well,

1797
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:57,439
Speaker 1: the NBA's got that right now, because after the Golden

1798
01:36:57,439 --> 01:37:00,600
Speaker 1: State Warriors won what three titles in four years and

1799
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 1: went back to back, You've had the Raptors, Lakers, Bucks, Warriors, Nuggets, Celtics,

1800
01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 1: and now the Thunder this year. So you're gonna have

1801
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:13,680
Speaker 1: It's wild to think about just how incredibly diverse your

1802
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:18,040
Speaker 1: pool of champions has been. And you're talking about major markets.

1803
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:21,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Milwaukee, for goodness sake, won a title. It also,

1804
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:23,839
Speaker 1: by the way, on the on the flip side in Toronto,

1805
01:37:24,200 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 1: on the flip side of that. It shows you how

1806
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:29,519
Speaker 1: fleeting it can be. Milwaukee won a title in twenty

1807
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 1: twenty one, and now they're talking about blowing the whole

1808
01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: thing up and Gianni's playing somewhere else next year. The

1809
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 1: Raptors won it in twenty nineteen. I don't know if

1810
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: there's even one single player left on the Raptors from

1811
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 1: that twenty nineteen team. It's crazy here. We are, all right,

1812
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 1: we do have to break. It's the Plank Show. When

1813
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,760
Speaker 1: we come back in lieu of Breeze three. I've got

1814
01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 1: conspiracy talk for you next on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

1815
01:37:55,360 --> 01:37:59,360
Speaker 1: little business here, it's the Plank Show overnight through the

1816

1824
01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:24,360
Speaker 1: on the iHeart Radio app. And speaking of the iHeart

1825
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 1: Radio app, you can now stream Fox Sports Radio Live

1826

Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. Well, you've always been able to,

1827
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 1: but there's something cool in the iHeart Radio app. The

1828
01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:36,280
Speaker 1: new feature allows you to select Fox Sports Radio is

1829
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:38,720

Speaker 1: radio dow pretty cool. Be sure to preset Fox Sports

1831
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 1: Radio on the Iheard Radio app and it will always

1832
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:48,559
Speaker 1: pop up on your screen. I did like this idea though.

1833
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 1: Mikeah Lepper khon very active tonight on the program, not

1834
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 1: just very active on his calls, but very active on

1835
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:57,680
Speaker 1: the website Twitter dot com. He had the idea in

1836
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,880
Speaker 1: place of Breeze three. We introduced a segment tonight called

1837
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:06,960
Speaker 1: Patrick's Picks. Keeping with the conspiracy theory theme, discuss the

1838
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: craziest news stories You've recently seen on TV. That would

1839
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:14,679
Speaker 1: be though that would involve me having to watch the news, Mike,

1840
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 1: I am very much sports. And then a trio of

1841
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 1: TV shows that probably no one else's watch. No one

1842
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:26,720
Speaker 1: else's watched, especially at fifty right, I watch Family Guy,

1843
01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:29,160
Speaker 1: South Park and Rick and Morty. I'm very much a

1844
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 1: twelve year old trapped in a fifty year old body.

1845
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:35,880
Speaker 1: But I am here for some conspiracy theory talk. So

1846
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 1: let's get after it. I have one regret on the show,

1847
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:40,640
Speaker 1: and maybe we'll be able to squeeze it in. In

1848
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: our last segment, we didn't get to talk a lot

1849
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:44,679
Speaker 1: about Caleb Williams. Let's do that. In our last segment

1850
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: we got Planks Parlay coming up. The NFL schedule stuff

1851
01:39:49,200 --> 01:39:52,400
Speaker 1: was hilarious. I thought, I mean, I know that the

1852
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 1: Colts had to pull theirs down because they claim some

1853
01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:58,760
Speaker 1: sort of issue where they overstepped their relationship with Microsoft.

1854
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 1: I didn't get that out of the right, but it

1855
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:03,439
Speaker 1: was really about the Tyreek Hill part of it, which

1856
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 1: by the way, Tyreek Hill thought was hilarious. Now you've

1857
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 1: got people like Florio and others clutching their pearls. They

1858
01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:12,000
Speaker 1: were so offended by it, I mean, settled down. Mac

1859
01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 1: Wilson's rap was pretty good, I thought in the schedule release,

1860
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:17,559
Speaker 1: I thought that was good for the Cardinals. I kind

1861
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 1: of dug like bits of things I didn't really I

1862
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:23,959
Speaker 1: think some people try too hard. I thought the Patriots

1863
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 1: kind of tried too hard. Felt like the Raiders did

1864
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:28,519
Speaker 1: to a certain extent. But when Pinn and Teller magically

1865
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:31,960
Speaker 1: started having yellow flags up here whenever they were talking

1866
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:35,439
Speaker 1: about the Arrowhead trip, I dug that anything else jump

1867
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:37,400
Speaker 1: out on the schedule release that we need to talk

1868
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: about before we get to the frozen envelope Patty that

1869
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:40,559
Speaker 1: you caught.

1870
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, not really on the schedule. It's just it's not

1871
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:47,680
Speaker 4: really a storyline until we kind of jump into it.

1872
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:49,720
Speaker 1: Well no, no, I don't mean the schedule itself. I

1873
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 1: mean in the teams and their videos and the things.

1874
01:40:52,040 --> 01:40:55,800
Speaker 4: That oh oh oh, well, I mean I did like

1875
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 4: the I did find the Tyreek Hill one funny that

1876
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:01,680
Speaker 4: was too funny. It was funny. It was good, it

1877
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:03,880
Speaker 4: was good. It was They caught me off guard.

1878
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 1: Too, but it was not a minecraft guy. Mean, that's

1879
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:09,559
Speaker 1: out of world. My son was so I would watch it.

1880
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:11,919
Speaker 1: It never really made much sense to me, but it's correct.

1881
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:15,720
Speaker 4: Seattle did like a I know, I'm not trying to

1882
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:19,160
Speaker 4: be the oh the Seahawks guy here, but the Seahawks

1883
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 4: did a theirs was kind of like done like a

1884
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:27,240
Speaker 4: nineteen eighties, nineteen nineties like actionon figure like oh, Devin

1885
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:29,679
Speaker 4: Witherspoon and like, you know, like they do like those

1886
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:31,920
Speaker 4: over the top kid ones where it's like the Enemies

1887
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:35,240
Speaker 4: or here Come the forty nine ers. They did it

1888
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:37,280
Speaker 4: just like that for their whole schedule lease and it

1889
01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:38,280
Speaker 4: was really kind of funny.

1890
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:40,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting, I'll have to go back and watch that one.

1891
01:41:40,680 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 1: I I don't have a problem with it. I know

1892
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: it's so funny because it started out with one or

1893
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,559
Speaker 1: two teams doing it. And the Tennessee Titans had that

1894
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: great one where they went it was a Broadway on

1895
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:55,719
Speaker 1: in Nashville and they went down and as they asked

1896
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:58,840
Speaker 1: the quote unquote fans or just people in Nashville to

1897
01:41:58,880 --> 01:42:02,559
Speaker 1: guess the logos, and they went, Now, you're not gonna

1898
01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:05,559
Speaker 1: top that, but I dig it. I think it's fun.

1899
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:07,760
Speaker 1: So we got some NFL schedule notes we'll get to

1900
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 1: before we get out of here on Fox Sports Radio.

1901
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:14,439
Speaker 1: But ladies and gentlemen, we out of sports conspiracy. Jump

1902
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:16,920
Speaker 1: to the front of the line and the storylines this week. Now,

1903
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 1: some might say that there's no such thing. Some of

1904
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:26,080
Speaker 1: you just to believe everything. You're spoon fed, which it's

1905
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:30,720
Speaker 1: a you problem. I tend to dig a little bit deeper, or,

1906
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 1: as maybe some people would put it, use Google with

1907
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 1: that in mind. Oh, by the way, the other conspiracy

1908
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:40,160
Speaker 1: theorists back, don't you use Google? You better use Duck

1909
01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:42,120
Speaker 1: duck go. That's the way to go. Plank. Don't you

1910
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:46,879
Speaker 1: trust Google? I love Google. I'm addicted. I'm sorry, not sorry.

1911
01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 1: So anyway, I'm on Google and I'm digging into sports

1912
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:56,000
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories this week because I can't help myself. Whenever

1913
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:59,680
Speaker 1: I see a story like the Dallas Mavericks winning the

1914
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 1: NBA Draft a lottery and not just the Dallas Mavericks

1915
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 1: winning it, but I hope everyone caught who was number two,

1916
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean the Spurs. Damn there did it again. So

1917
01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 1: if you're unfamiliar with this and you've been living under

1918
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 1: a rock. The Dallas Mavericks traded away their future, their star,

1919
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: the foundation of the franchise, Luca Donchez, to Lakers, and

1920
01:43:26,280 --> 01:43:28,439
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought that there was something more

1921
01:43:28,479 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 1: to this. They thought that maybe it was a situation

1922
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,680
Speaker 1: where the Mavericks could be on the move, maybe a

1923
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 1: new owner was ready to sell the team whatever, or

1924
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:40,480
Speaker 1: move the team, whatever it might be. There were conspiracy

1925
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 1: theories everywhere whenever it came to this. So I find

1926
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:50,240
Speaker 1: myself as somebody that likes to dig deeper one point

1927
01:43:50,280 --> 01:43:54,400
Speaker 1: eight percent one point eight percent chance to have the

1928
01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:58,840
Speaker 1: right to draft Cooper Flag. There's just no way. There's

1929
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,600
Speaker 1: just no way. It's too perfect. There's no way that

1930
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 1: you could have this trade and this play out the

1931
01:44:04,240 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 1: way that it did. You just can't. It's impossible. So

1932
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 1: with that in mind, I'm buying into it. You've heard

1933
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:14,880
Speaker 1: the Doug Gottlieb promo, I'm sure a thousand times. I'll

1934
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 1: ask you guys, on a scale of one to ten,

1935
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:21,640
Speaker 1: ten being I'm in one being, there's no way they

1936
01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 1: could fix this thing. Patrick, where do you stand on

1937
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,800
Speaker 1: whether or not the NBA Draft lottery was fixed on

1938
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:32,719
Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten to thank the Mavericks

1939
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:35,519
Speaker 1: for doing their part and making sure the Lakers stay relevant.

1940
01:44:35,680 --> 01:44:38,879
Speaker 4: I'm going number seventy seven from a boy Luka Dnsig.

1941
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 4: But it's a ten. Yes, it is.

1942
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:43,640
Speaker 5: Point seven ish, yeah, right in there, I'm like, no,

1943
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 5: it's seventy seven.

1944
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 4: No, seventy seven, like as in, I'm just being Luca

1945
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 4: because that's my guy now. But yeah, it's a ten.

1946
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:54,080
Speaker 4: Of course that's to come on. I do like it

1947
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,879
Speaker 4: gifted that for just oh just chance.

1948
01:44:57,040 --> 01:45:01,599
Speaker 1: No, it was what I thought was the funniest thing

1949
01:45:02,080 --> 01:45:08,680
Speaker 1: of all is there was One of the tweets was

1950
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 1: if you question the relevance of the draft lottery or

1951
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:18,240
Speaker 1: the ability for it to happen without being fixed, then you,

1952
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 1: my friend, are questioning Ernest and Young. And I mean

1953
01:45:21,760 --> 01:45:24,559
Speaker 1: the Twitter feeds came up with all these stories about

1954
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:28,200
Speaker 1: Ernest and Young on money here and how they botched this.

1955
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 1: It's just wild how many mistakes there were in the

1956
01:45:31,600 --> 01:45:33,840
Speaker 1: history of this accounting firm. What do you think, Mark,

1957
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 1: are you buying this or selling it? Are you one

1958
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:39,040
Speaker 1: or ten? When it comes to whether or not this

1959
01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 1: fix was in.

1960
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:42,599
Speaker 5: The scale of one to ten, I'm going with eight

1961
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:50,600
Speaker 5: because there's nothing to point to to give evidence. But

1962
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:55,800
Speaker 5: something happened that that particular team who, like you just said,

1963
01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 5: gave away something, and all of a sudden, they're the benefit,

1964
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 5: the beneficial of this of the envelope. It's strange, and

1965
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:09,520
Speaker 5: you know, I guess they call it suspicious.

1966
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:13,559
Speaker 1: Suspicious is a good word. So got me thinking this week,

1967
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:17,680
Speaker 1: because I'm a believer, what are sports conspiracy theories that

1968
01:46:17,760 --> 01:46:21,639
Speaker 1: the Royal we actually believe in, buy into or give

1969
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 1: a little credence to. Now here's a few. Do you

1970
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:30,720
Speaker 1: buy into? The conspiracy theory? The Major League Baseball owners,

1971
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:35,760
Speaker 1: players and league execs ignored the steroid growth within the

1972
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 1: league in order to save the game thanks to the

1973
01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 1: broage of home runs. See I buy that one. And

1974
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that's much of a conspiracy theory,

1975
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:46,960
Speaker 1: but that's one of my favorites. Nineteen ninety four, we

1976
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:50,639
Speaker 1: have the strike. Major League Baseball shut its season down,

1977
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:52,840
Speaker 1: did not play the World Series, and it took him

1978
01:46:52,840 --> 01:46:56,240
Speaker 1: a long time to get back. It was, it killed

1979
01:46:56,240 --> 01:47:01,360
Speaker 1: the sport, America's pastime became irrelevant and kind of has

1980
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 1: really fought to get back to its place where it was.

1981
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:07,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it ever really got there

1982
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:11,479
Speaker 1: except for during the home run chase with McGuire and Sosa.

1983
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: It's a ninety seven ninety eight. It was great. I

1984
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:19,719
Speaker 1: remember I graduated from college and I went on a trip,

1985
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:22,760
Speaker 1: took a train, for goodness sakes up to Chicago from

1986
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:25,599
Speaker 1: Saint Louis to watch the Cubs and the Cardinals play.

1987
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:28,640
Speaker 1: And it was electric. It was every time McGuire and

1988
01:47:28,680 --> 01:47:31,200
Speaker 1: Sosa came to the plate, there was a buzz. It

1989
01:47:31,240 --> 01:47:34,679
Speaker 1: was wild. So that's one that I buy. I buy

1990
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:37,720
Speaker 1: that one quite a bit. Ninety four. Here's one if

1991
01:47:37,720 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 1: you want to stay in the nineties. August of nineteen

1992
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,759
Speaker 1: ninety seven, Patrick, I know you probably weren't born yet,

1993
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:48,920
Speaker 1: but that was the Cal Ripken Kevin Costner rumor slash

1994
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:53,439
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. That was the night that the Mariners apparently

1995
01:47:53,479 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 1: had electrical problems so they couldn't play the Baltimore Seattle game.

1996
01:47:57,080 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 1: Which can you imagine in today's world having to cancel

1997
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:04,599
Speaker 1: a game for electrical reasons, like the lights go out.

1998
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:06,920
Speaker 1: It's like, everyone, just turn your phones on. We're gonna

1999
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 1: keep playing this game. Now, both Kevin Coster and Cal

2000
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:11,679
Speaker 1: Ripken have come out and said that it's not true

2001
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:13,599
Speaker 1: that they got in a fight because come Costner allegedly

2002
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:16,040
Speaker 1: adding a fair with cal Workings wife, and thus the

2003
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 1: streak was intact and he ended up setting the record

2004
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:23,599
Speaker 1: for most consecutive games played. Believability on this one, high

2005
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:27,920
Speaker 1: or low, Patrick, high or low on the lights purposely

2006
01:48:27,960 --> 01:48:28,919
Speaker 1: going out in Seattle.

2007
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go and say lukewarm like I'm I'm not

2008
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 4: trying to be on the fence, but it's like I'll

2009
01:48:34,320 --> 01:48:37,439
Speaker 4: give credence, like yeah, it's got something, but I don't know.

2010
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:40,000
Speaker 4: And also just to tell you ninety five nineteen ninety

2011
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:41,280
Speaker 4: five for me, playki.

2012
01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, So now night. To me, there are

2013
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:49,160
Speaker 1: some obvious ones in here that I won't mention, and

2014
01:48:49,320 --> 01:48:51,280
Speaker 1: one of those, well that I want match it. I

2015
01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 1: don't feel like we need to talk about because it's

2016
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:58,640
Speaker 1: pretty obvious. Frozen envelope, Patrick Ewing, the Calves getting the

2017
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 1: number one pick to Paristar with Lebron the Bulls getting

2018
01:49:02,320 --> 01:49:04,880
Speaker 1: the number one pick when Derrick Rose was a Chicago guy.

2019
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: I think there's something to that, right, I mean, just

2020
01:49:09,200 --> 01:49:14,080
Speaker 1: there's no question about that. But I was not aware

2021
01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 1: of this one. There is a theory that in nineteen

2022
01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 1: sixty nine, the NFL fixed Super Bowl three to allow

2023
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:27,720
Speaker 1: Joe Namath and the Jets to beat the Colts and

2024
01:49:27,760 --> 01:49:31,200
Speaker 1: thus bolster the AFL prior to the merger with the

2025
01:49:31,320 --> 01:49:35,559
Speaker 1: NFL and give them a superstar in Broadway, Joe, who

2026
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:39,559
Speaker 1: I think was already a superstar. I also wasn't aware

2027
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:43,639
Speaker 1: of this in nineteen ninety seven. The rumor, the conspiracy theory,

2028
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:47,720
Speaker 1: is that atp Tour Execs that's a professional tennis league

2029
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 1: for those who don't know, kept a positive drug test

2030
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:54,599
Speaker 1: from Andre Agassy secret in the best interest to the sport.

2031
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:59,280
Speaker 1: Now what again, I don't know Agacy in the If

2032
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:02,640
Speaker 1: you're talking late nineties, you're probably talking about cocaine. But

2033
01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:07,679
Speaker 1: this was allegedly crystal meth. Wow, that's going hardcore right there, right,

2034
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:11,559
Speaker 1: And let's see, there were two more here, two more here.

2035
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:16,599
Speaker 1: When the NFL came down on the Patriots for the

2036
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 1: Spygate tapes, remember there was a lot of evidence that

2037
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 1: was destroyed. In fact, the theory is, the conspiracy theory

2038
01:50:29,960 --> 01:50:34,599
Speaker 1: is that Roger Goodell destroyed the Spygate tapes in two

2039
01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:38,799
Speaker 1: thousand and seven because they revealed an even more damning

2040
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:42,640
Speaker 1: form of cheating. I don't know about you, Patrick. I

2041
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of like that one. I like that one. Mark,

2042
01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 1: I like that one. You start digging into it, You're like, Oh,

2043
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:50,800
Speaker 1: this is bad, this is really really bad. What's happening here?

2044
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:53,800
Speaker 1: Oh my lode, they're taping this, They've got footage here.

2045
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:57,439
Speaker 1: Shut it all down. We shut it all down because

2046
01:50:57,880 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots didn't even really fight back against it two

2047
01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:04,439
Speaker 1: terribly much. It took it. But we also had a

2048
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 1: situation where was it the Patriots who got in trouble

2049
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,639
Speaker 1: again for taping the Bengals sideline. Someone got in trouble

2050
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:14,120
Speaker 1: then for taping the Cincinnati sidelines a couple of years later,

2051
01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:17,680
Speaker 1: many years later. But yeah, there, that's another That was

2052
01:51:17,760 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 1: one that I had heard of, but I didn't realize

2053
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:23,840
Speaker 1: to that degree that people had believed in it. I

2054
01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 1: don't buy into the I don't buy into the idea

2055
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:33,479
Speaker 1: that NASCAR drivers purposefully let Dale Junior win whenever they

2056
01:51:33,560 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 1: came back to the Daytona five hundred in two thousand

2057
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:38,880
Speaker 1: and four. That was six years of the day after

2058
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:41,800
Speaker 1: his dad won his first and three years after his death.

2059
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 1: I think if you want to talk conspiracy theories, I

2060
01:51:44,280 --> 01:51:47,360
Speaker 1: think you would say that maybe they allowed him to

2061
01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 1: have a little bit more juice when they went back

2062
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:52,760
Speaker 1: that summer after Dale had passed in two thousand and

2063
01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:57,679
Speaker 1: he won the summer race there. But my personal favorite

2064
01:51:57,720 --> 01:52:00,600
Speaker 1: and the all time greatest conspiracy theory is not a

2065
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:03,800
Speaker 1: bloody sock for Kurt Shilling. No, no, no, It's not

2066
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 1: the United States and the Russians basketball officiating though, it's

2067
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 1: not even the frozen envelope, gentlemen. The greatest conspiracy theory

2068
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:16,200
Speaker 1: that I truly buy into, and I truly believe is

2069
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:21,679
Speaker 1: that Michael Jordan did not choose to retire in ninety

2070
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:26,519
Speaker 1: three to pursue baseball. It was an under the table

2071
01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:30,639
Speaker 1: suspension by David Stern, which was a punishment for his

2072
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:34,080
Speaker 1: gambling debts. Which, now, if you look back that thirty

2073
01:52:34,080 --> 01:52:37,800
Speaker 1: two years ago, thinking about someone having gambling debts, you're

2074
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:40,320
Speaker 1: like that, dude, you need to get hot on DraftKings.

2075
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:43,240
Speaker 1: What's going on back in those days, Back in my day,

2076
01:52:44,240 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 1: we weren't allowed to talk about gambling on the air.

2077
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:50,160
Speaker 1: I heard about that one, now, do you buy it?

2078
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:54,120
Speaker 5: I buy it because there was a local radio guy

2079
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:57,559
Speaker 5: at first name Stee. He was on Childie eleven. He

2080
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:01,720
Speaker 5: talked about that. A lot of it was planned that

2081
01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:04,960
Speaker 5: he would be he would go away. They had it

2082
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 5: planned when he would come back, because they were setting

2083
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:12,920
Speaker 5: up tickets and planning his arrival back to the NBA.

2084
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:18,400
Speaker 5: So he got sent away because of gambling situations, so

2085
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:21,680
Speaker 5: they like suspended him. You're out for a while, and

2086
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:23,759
Speaker 5: then they knew when he was going to come back.

2087
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:26,680
Speaker 1: Where do you stand on this one, Patrick.

2088
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:30,919
Speaker 4: That's so smart. I never even thought of that that way. Yeah, honestly,

2089
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 4: like honestly, with just you both telling me this, like

2090
01:53:34,720 --> 01:53:37,479
Speaker 4: I'm all in on that, Like that makes stomachs too

2091
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:40,519
Speaker 4: much sense. And my mom always taught me, like if

2092
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:42,880
Speaker 4: it makes too much sense, like it's probably go with

2093
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:43,679
Speaker 4: the most obvious.

2094
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:48,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this much. It would make a lot

2095
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:50,519
Speaker 1: of sense because my man was not very good at baseball.

2096
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 1: But you fast forward thirty years later, completely acceptable in

2097
01:53:57,240 --> 01:54:01,960
Speaker 1: less it in less in less they had evidence that

2098
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 1: he had gambled on the bulls, or they had evidence

2099
01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:09,639
Speaker 1: that he had placed wagers on NBA games. But that's

2100
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:13,000
Speaker 1: my favorite there in honor of the league fixing the

2101
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 1: NBA lottery and allowing the Dallas Mavericks to have the

2102
01:54:17,439 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 1: number one pick in the draft, and in honor of

2103
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:25,960
Speaker 1: Brie being out tonight, Breeze threes with Plank's conspiracy theories

2104
01:54:26,040 --> 01:54:28,280
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to look at, and I'll tell

2105
01:54:28,320 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 1: you they keep adding to I think there's something conspiracy

2106
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 1: related in that tuck roll game against the against the

2107
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:37,240
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Raiders. Haven't quite figured that one out yet,

2108
01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:40,800
Speaker 1: but I will, I will. It broke my heart to

2109
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 1: this day. But a fascinating week for the NBA that

2110
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,880
Speaker 1: culminates tonight with the New York Knicks advancing to the

2111
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals for a showdown with the Celtics after

2112
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:53,840
Speaker 1: eliminating the Celtics for a showdown with the Pacers. On

2113
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:56,040
Speaker 1: a night when the Knicks fans are celebrating like they

2114
01:54:56,160 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 1: just want a title, conspiracy theory is abound. Well, what

2115
01:54:59,520 --> 01:55:01,960
Speaker 1: a rap was Caleb Williams news next right here on

2116
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:05,240
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. I think we're in for a fascinating

2117
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:07,600
Speaker 1: offseason in the NBA. I know we're not there yet,

2118
01:55:07,640 --> 01:55:10,680
Speaker 1: We're just to the Eastern Conference Finals and almost to

2119
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:14,200
Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals. But you know, next week, maybe

2120
01:55:14,240 --> 01:55:16,560
Speaker 1: we'll be talking a little bit more about Gianni's future.

2121
01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:19,480
Speaker 1: I found that to be fascinating throughout the week. Brian

2122
01:55:19,480 --> 01:55:27,320
Speaker 1: windhors this morning, dropping the idea of Jannis and Golden State. Okay,

2123
01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:31,200
Speaker 1: does Golden State have enough to trade to get him?

2124
01:55:31,240 --> 01:55:34,160
Speaker 1: Maybe so, But I think his future is gonna be

2125
01:55:34,160 --> 01:55:37,960
Speaker 1: a fascinating conversation. I think if the thunder lose on

2126
01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 1: Sunday to the Nuggets, I think that'll be interesting to

2127
01:55:40,920 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 1: see what they're gonna do with that core. Will there

2128
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:46,880
Speaker 1: be moves there in Oklahoma City. I think it's gonna

2129
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 1: be fascinating to see what happens going forward. With Boston.

2130
01:55:50,200 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 1: The focus is on the Knicks and the Pacers. I

2131
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:55,040
Speaker 1: am a little bit disappointed tonight. I'm a little disappointed.

2132
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:57,680
Speaker 1: Not gonna lie. Thought we'd hear from some Knicks fans

2133
01:55:57,760 --> 01:56:01,240
Speaker 1: or are fired up, but I get it. Drunk, you're happy,

2134
01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:04,640
Speaker 1: you're enjoying life. The Celtics fans picked up the slack.

2135
01:56:05,080 --> 01:56:07,920
Speaker 1: It's all good. Meanwhile, one story we didn't hit on,

2136
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:11,040
Speaker 1: No Breeze three tonight, Breeze out. Thanks Patrick for filling

2137
01:56:11,080 --> 01:56:13,600
Speaker 1: an awesome job as always Mark fun to hang out

2138
01:56:13,600 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 1: as it always is. The Fellows are coming up next,

2139
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:18,760
Speaker 1: but No Breeze three, so we're gonna punt on the

2140
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:24,440
Speaker 1: plank parlay too, because it's it needs some reconfiguration, because

2141
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:27,600
Speaker 1: it's oh for its last three and last week was

2142
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:31,800
Speaker 1: a heart heartbreaker, heartbreaker. But I did want to talk

2143
01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:35,120
Speaker 1: a little bit about the least surprising story in sports

2144
01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:38,960
Speaker 1: this week. You might say, what is it the Nick's

2145
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:43,960
Speaker 1: winning whenever Jason Tatum got hurt? No, no, that's not it.

2146
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:48,680
Speaker 1: You might say the NBA fixing a lottery. No, no,

2147
01:56:49,120 --> 01:56:53,120
Speaker 1: that's not it. It is Carl Williams trying to be

2148
01:56:53,200 --> 01:56:58,560
Speaker 1: overly involved in his son's life. You guys, you guys

2149
01:56:58,640 --> 01:57:01,400
Speaker 1: know how Caleb william is just you know, asking for

2150
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:03,960
Speaker 1: a friend, because I can tell you how old Caleb

2151
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:07,920
Speaker 1: Williams is. Caleb Williams is a grown man. He's twenty

2152
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:12,520
Speaker 1: three years old, and yet his dad is the most

2153
01:57:12,520 --> 01:57:15,760
Speaker 1: overly involved person in his life. Now. I love my dad,

2154
01:57:16,160 --> 01:57:19,520
Speaker 1: love him. If I could spend every minute of the

2155
01:57:19,600 --> 01:57:22,520
Speaker 1: day with him, I would. But my dad doesn't want

2156
01:57:22,520 --> 01:57:24,600
Speaker 1: to be involved in my finances and how I'm going

2157
01:57:24,640 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 1: to live my life. My dad doesn't want to be

2158
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 1: my agent. My dad doesn't want to be on TV,

2159
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:32,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be on radio. I don't want

2160
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 1: to be overly involved in my kid's life. I want

2161
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 1: them to make their own decisions. I want to be

2162
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 1: their dad, I want to be their form and I

2163
01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:41,040
Speaker 1: want to support him. Carl Williams wants to be the

2164
01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:44,520
Speaker 1: main character, and that's been the case in Caleb Williams'

2165
01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 1: life the whole time. Because this article, this book, there

2166
01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 1: should not be a single quote from Carl Williams in it,

2167
01:57:55,520 --> 01:57:58,920
Speaker 1: and the fact that he opens his mouth and shares

2168
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:04,360
Speaker 1: all that information, while not surprising at all, does nothing

2169
01:58:04,480 --> 01:58:07,680
Speaker 1: but hurt the reputation of Caleb Williams. Now, I'm a

2170
01:58:07,720 --> 01:58:11,880
Speaker 1: believer that it helps Caleb in one way, magnifies the

2171
01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:14,960
Speaker 1: ineptness of the Bears last year. But I also feel

2172
01:58:14,960 --> 01:58:17,040
Speaker 1: like there's two sides to this story. And I'm sorry,

2173
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:20,040
Speaker 1: I cannot believe in my core, in my heart of hearts,

2174
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:25,280
Speaker 1: that the Chicago Bears didn't have a coach watching film

2175
01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:29,600
Speaker 1: with Caleb Williams, I cannot allow myself to believe that

2176
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: an NFL team is that inept. But here we are.

2177
01:58:35,040 --> 01:58:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, guys, your takeaway from this should be and

2178
01:58:41,400 --> 01:58:44,839
Speaker 1: I don't know why we still have this issue. There's agents,

2179
01:58:45,080 --> 01:58:49,200
Speaker 1: there's coaches, there's trainers, if your dad played in the league,

2180
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 1: that's one thing. But Caleb Williams deserves to be his own. Man.

2181
01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 1: He's a great He's a great dude. I know. I'm

2182
01:58:58,800 --> 01:59:02,440
Speaker 1: an Oklahoma guy. So from my perspective, you might sell

2183
01:59:02,480 --> 01:59:04,920
Speaker 1: you're jaded because he went to USC No, I'm not. No,

2184
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm not not at all. I'm happy for him. I'm

2185
01:59:07,560 --> 01:59:09,560
Speaker 1: rotten for him. I'm the guy on this network that's

2186
01:59:09,560 --> 01:59:11,120
Speaker 1: telling you he's still going to be a star. And

2187
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:13,600
Speaker 1: if I'm a Bears fan, I'm on cloud nine knowing

2188
01:59:13,800 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 1: that I have this guy representing my team, his dad.

2189
01:59:16,960 --> 01:59:19,360
Speaker 1: Deciding to make it a story and going and talking

2190
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:25,120
Speaker 1: to Seth Wickersham for a book about how he wanted

2191
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:27,920
Speaker 1: to go to Minnesota, how they try to work to

2192
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:31,600
Speaker 1: get him out of Chicago, telling Seth Wickersham, by the way,

2193
01:59:31,640 --> 01:59:34,320
Speaker 1: great job on Seth, I because Seth didn't have to

2194
01:59:34,360 --> 01:59:36,640
Speaker 1: do anything. He just had to say, Hey, man, I'm

2195
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna write a court I'm gonna write an article on

2196
01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:40,560
Speaker 1: how to build a quarterback and what to Carl Williams

2197
01:59:40,560 --> 01:59:42,920
Speaker 1: c He saw him being compared to Richard Williams, he

2198
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:45,560
Speaker 1: saw him being compared to Earl Woods. He's like you bet,

2199
01:59:45,600 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how I did it. I'm so embarrassed

2200
01:59:50,000 --> 01:59:53,680
Speaker 1: for Caleb for his his dad's actions in this, because

2201
01:59:54,200 --> 01:59:57,800
Speaker 1: all this does is magnify how sometimes you have to

2202
01:59:57,840 --> 01:59:59,720
Speaker 1: separate from that to truly be the best you can be.

2203
01:59:59,720 --> 02:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Looking Nico story, look at Nico iam Aliava and what's

2204
02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:06,160
Speaker 1: going on there. It's his dad that's got him less

2205
02:00:06,200 --> 02:00:08,879
Speaker 1: money in a worse spot than he had to Tennessee.

2206
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's okay to separate, and I felt it was

2207
02:00:13,680 --> 02:00:17,920
Speaker 1: so From covering Carl Williams, it was the least shocking

2208
02:00:17,960 --> 02:00:20,880
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen in my life. From being a

2209
02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:23,680
Speaker 1: fan of Kata Williams, I hated because it puts even

2210
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:25,640
Speaker 1: more of a target on his back from Bears fans

2211
02:00:25,680 --> 02:00:29,480
Speaker 1: when he doesn't do well. But don't don't be surprised

2212
02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:31,040
Speaker 1: if there'll be more too, And I can't wait to

2213
02:00:31,040 --> 02:00:33,160
Speaker 1: see the Bears counter to this. I can't wait to

2214
02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:35,960
Speaker 1: read the book as well. Fun show tonight again, Patrick,

2215
02:00:36,040 --> 02:00:38,840
Speaker 1: Always fun to hang Mark, have a great week. Breeze

2216
02:00:38,880 --> 02:00:42,240
Speaker 1: back next week. The Fellas are coming up next Great Saturday.

2217
02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:43,680
