21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: Lasso enjoying things courtside the Knicks. I could just listen

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: to this for a second two minutes to go in

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: the third quarter. The party is underway at MSG the

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: Knicks lead the Celtice. I should say it like Marv

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: Albert does. The Knicks leave the Celtics eighty nine to

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: fifty one with a minute fifty seven left to go

27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Uh, it has been all Nicks

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: from the jump. Make it ninety two fifty one after

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: an ognunobi three. I think Joe Mizzoula is gonna call

30
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: time out and they're all gonna leave. I think it's out,

31
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: just gonna leave, and it's just gonna be a big party.

32
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Michael Strahan is excited. This is the bill. Look at

33
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Stathology you got you got Marbury there, this is this

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: is a party, Mike Harmon. It is an absolute party.

35
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: But you're gonna be the disapproving girlfriend with the coat

36
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: over her arms, going we can leave whenever you want to.

37
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: I know you're having fun, but we can leave whenever

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: you want to. You're gonna play that role tonight. I

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: can already tell. I can already tell, just by your countenance,

40
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: just by the way you are, just by you're gonna

41
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: be that. I'm ready to leave. I didn't want to

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: go to this party at all. I'm ready to go home.

43
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: This is where you have your kid who's hopped up

44
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: on sugar and you let them run around hoping that

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: at some point they just fall out napping. That's where

46
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm at right now, because I have already had forty

47
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: minutes of this, yeah, leading into the start of the show. Huh.

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: And I've said for a very long time there's a

49
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: jealousy to a point of your fandom, okay, and we've

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: tipped past that jealousy of the excitement. Okay, Judy, shut up, Okay,

51
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: all right, I'm not happy when your teams get, you know,

52
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: the little success they have, So I mean, I thought

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: you'd be happy for me, but okay, to a point where,

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: because you're screaming at at the like thirty five, they're

55
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: going to win to go to the Eastern Conference Finals

56
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: for the first time since I was in my thirties. Yeah,

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: but that was presumptive when we got to halftime when

58
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Kendrick Perkins said they needed to find Jesus to play

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: the second half. That's what he said about the Celtics.

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: They're like any closing thought, get Perk. It's like, you know,

61
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: what they need. And there's a pause, and you know,

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: everybody on sets looking at him, nervous what he's gonna say.

63
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: To find Jesus, he said they'd go on a diet

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: if the Knicks blew the lead. They would go on

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: a diet. If the Knicks blew this lead at halftime

66
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: and they have grown it out. Yeah, it is a

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: forty one point Nick lead, now ninety two to fifty

68
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: one with just under a minute half to go with

69
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: the third quarter, Bird and Michale are ready to check

70
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: in for the Celtics in the fourth quarter. I don't

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: even think they wore them. They don't want any minutes

72
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: of this. This is where you go find what was

73
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: that guy's uh oh, the ninety three Dino Raja and

74
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: guys like that. We start bringing those guys in or

75
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: to get some minutes. But like Jalen Brown did what

76
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Nikola Jokic did the other night, except this is an

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: elimination game. Yeah, and he tapped out. Porzingis is sick.

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: I can't make any jokes about him sitting because I

79
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: have no idea what's going on there. I hope he

80
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: finds whatever solution he needs in the offseason. He's ready

81
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five. But this is a gutless effort, right,

82
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: You're down six to start the second quarter. You score

83
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: four points in the first half of the second quarter,

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: and then it's like you wave the white flag. Right. Effort.

85
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Plays are non existent. You're seeing reaching falls, just sloppy play.

86
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: It's like no sense of urgency whatsoever. It's like, all right,

87
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: we're down twenty five, what are we gonna do. Let's

88
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: run the shot clock down to two and then you're

89
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: still contesting every shot, because I mean, that's the celebration

90
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: of what the Knicks have been here. They smelled the

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: blood in the water like any shark movie and attack

92
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: the hell out of this squad. So I give full

93
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 1: credit to whatever Thibodeau said. It pregame whatever they needed

94
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: in the fuel of the New York media to go

95
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: finish this thing off, because they never let the Celtics

96
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: get a quarter breadth, no once. Once it really started

97
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: to get out of hand in the middle of that

98
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: second look. And this is why I told you all

99
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: week when I can't no one believe me when I

100
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: said I'm fine they lose Game five. I told you

101
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose Game five, We're gonna show up and

102
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: kind of play, all right, well kind of play if

103
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: the game is there, maybe they try to close in

104
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: the second half, but it wasn't there. Brunson fouls out

105
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: of the game five thousand one quarter, Karl Anthony Townsend

106
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: foul trouble. I said, Okay, this is how it's gonna go.

107
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a different story on Friday night.

108
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: What if I said the last two days, Hey, Friday night,

109
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first

110
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: time in twenty two years. I was absolutely fine because

111
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: I knew this was the next team we were gonna

112
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: see on Friday. Bad feeling about Wednesday, I knew was

113
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: gonna Hey, okay, we're not gonna get Rick Buker had

114
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: a great comment on that with us the other night, saying, hey,

115
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: there's lots of teams in the NBA that come in

116
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: to close out type games like the Knicks did, and

117
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: and you know, like we've seen in the playoffs elsewhere

118
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: as well, where it's been hey, we know we're not

119
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: going to get the calls, and if the calls go

120
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: against you. In the beginning of the game at Sea

121
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: we're not getting him. Let's put it away for the

122
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: next game. And that's kind of what the Knicks. Didn't

123
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: we see that it's not just the next thing to

124
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: do that strategy. Sure, and I toold it, but tonight

125
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: was gonna be different. It was gonna be physical, and

126
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a Karl Anthony Towns night. And

127
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: this was how it was going to go. Guys didn't believe.

128
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: You thought I was nervous and Frostburg's going on, what

129
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: are you gonna say in game Seve, what are you

130
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: saying game seven? I knew we're never getting to Game

131
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: seven because this was going to be the game we're

132
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: going to get tonight. You did not predict a forty

133
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: point burial and that the Celtics would quit. I said,

134
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: I said, when I say fifteen, last night, I said

135
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen. We met our I said, no, no,

136
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: there's a difference between Hey, we win by ten because

137
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: down the stretch we're making free throws and finishing the

138
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: job right Jalen Bronson getting to the follow up versus

139
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: I should have said fifty here win by fifty. Look

140
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: in game betting, I was laughing before it was thirty

141
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: thirty two when you and I were sitting before we

142
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: started this soire on a big Friday night party for you.

143
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: Where it sits now? I can only uh, I can

144
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: only guess because it's it's bloomed it is now at

145
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: it's still only thirty three. If you really want to

146
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: go that, that's basically saying the Knicks are going to

147
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: quit and start sipping wine playing fourth quarter something like that.

148
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: They're they're relegated, they have to take half court shots

149
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. But you know, the

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: you're officiating thing from the other night rings true, and

151
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 1: there are a number of times where it's just like, really,

152
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: that's that's a continuation fall. Again, it's a thirty point game,

153
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: so who the hell cares thirty five? But at the

154
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: time it was thirty five. Karl Anthony Towns gets falled

155
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: quite clearly. Al Horford bangs him three feet off this

156
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: spot and then he goes, ah, forget it, I'll take

157
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: the extra step and throw the ball up, all right,

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: and one it's like what are we doing? So again

159
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: the officiating issue, but by that point it's long gone.

160
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Jalen Brown tapped out, So all of the

161
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: talk and we heard this got really loud about what

162
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 1: a better effort they get when Jason Tatum isn't there.

163
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Just just hang up your microphones, just quit. You know,

164
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: the record is not always indicative of what you're gonna get,

165
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: and you can do things for one game. We've seen

166
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: that time and time again in playoffs. We've seen it

167
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: in the regular season, the heavy underdogs that can come

168
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: up no matter the sport, and certainly in the NBA,

169
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: as you alluded to, the all right, it's really not

170
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: coming together for us. We'll live to see another day.

171
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: There's no reason to play another twenty labor and you know,

172
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: laborious minutes when we've got a game two days. Hence,

173
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: look at what I did there. Yeah, I went full

174
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: on Dictionary and my literary world. But like, when you

175
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: only play five or six guys, why play them an

176
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: extra twenty minutes when you're done? So that strategy the

177
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: other day certainly comes to bear. But from Missoula and Company,

178
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: like when, when exactly did you quit? Like that's the

179
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: first question I would ask him in the post thing

180
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: would you quit? The Knicks? Where the Knicks have been

181
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: playing tonight, they're playing with a twenty five point lead,

182
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: like the game is tied. There's been no let up.

183
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: There's been no open shots for the Celtics because the

184
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: Knicks have decided, hey we're up by twenty six and

185
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: everything is fine. There's been no running around defensively. It

186
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: has been there playing this game. Like in fact, you

187
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: would think the Knicks, if they win this game, would

188
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: be winning the NBA Finals. The way that the Knicks

189
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: are playing, the way fans are responding, we will be

190
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: going to the Eastern They still have two more rounds

191
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: to finish, but eight more wins. But hey, we're going

192
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference finals. And the party is like

193
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: we're winning it all, like that's what it is. But

194
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: that's okay, But that's party like that watching that that connection, right,

195
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: and you know me I. One of the mantras to

196
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: the Sho Show is the love of live events because

197
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: very few places in the world you have energy and

198
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: agreement of what's going on, and the energy going in

199
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: the same spot. So the fans feeding off the effort,

200
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: the players feeding back off the fans, and that frenzy.

201
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: You know, every shot is contested. There's no way, all right,

202
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I missed the assignment. It's like No, they're still cursing

203
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: at each other. You had a play down low where

204
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown loses the ball and it gets tapped and

205
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: eventually goes off his leg. They were up thirty five,

206
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: and they immediately three guys are signaling the Thibbaeau to

207
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: challenge it, which they did and they won the challenge.

208
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: It's that kind of thing. Look, I'm not saying I

209
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: don't love it. I just I just have a headache.

210
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: Look the Nicks, they came out for blood. They came

211
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: out for blood, and it's a party, right, That's That's

212
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: exactly what May Shalom has been shown ninety seven times.

213
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: Spike Lee doesn't have to accost the referee chasing him

214
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: down the court. He's just sitting there. No, doesn't he's got,

215
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: he's gotten. He's pissed because he's got no role to that.

216
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: We don't need. Coach Bike is just as happy as

217
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: he should be when they show him. He's like, I

218
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: wanted a contested game. What do you got, Frostburg? And

219
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: this game is so out of hand that the Necks

220
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: have just rolled out four players to play four on five.

221
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: They're going with my team is on the court and

222
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: one of them's Clyde Fraser, Ben Stiller, Stefan Marbury and

223
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: bad Bunny. I think we have We probably were winning

224
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: by thirty three right now, going by twenty five, we're

225
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: going so now all right, now, I guess twenty eight

226
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: and a half has gone to an aff kicking on Wednesday.

227
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: This is very poor Frostburg. So now are you gonna

228
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: be because you're with obviously we celebrate you. So that's

229
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: where it ends. It doesn't just end after the game.

230
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: It's you'll celebrate tonight and ends after tonight at eleven

231
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: o one eleven to give him DAPs you in the face. Okay,

232
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: all right, that's and the duel will come in. So

233
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: the celebration is tonight. Who cares about tomorrow? Celebration tonight,

234
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,200

00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,920

Speaker 1: early two thousands and the late nineties when they were

307
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: done winning and it was hey, we're trying to make

308
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: it work with Dee Brown, all right, let's go. Yeah,

309
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: good times those late nineties trading cards like aw, look

310
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: at those Celtics. And then you eventually got to Antoine Walker.

311
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'll got to. Yeah, we'll get to eventually

312
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: you got to Yeah. No, you had a number of

313
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: years with Finn Baker. Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, yeah

314
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: we'll get that. We'll get that. Then Baker is one

315
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: of my heroes though. I mean the amount of money

316
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: that guy made and then in his post career, I

317
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: mean he did he did well. It is a It's

318
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: going to be a Knicks final four in the NBA.

319
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: I just think about this for a second. In the

320
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: final four of the NBA, it's going to be the Knicks.

321
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: The Pacers who are synonymous with the Knicks. It's like

322
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: they're the Washington Generals for the Knicks that last year

323
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: when they won. But we got a little something something

324
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: for you already, don't worry about it. So the Knicks

325
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: and Pacers are synonymous. Then in the West is Devincenzo

326
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: and Julius Randall. Okay, Knicks up until last year part

327
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: of their run, and probably Hartenstein. So okay. So now

328
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: we have just claiming every all Knicks Final four. It's

329
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: like it's a very It's like a Hallmark movie. It's

330
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: a very Nicks Christmas, a very Knicks Final four. How

331
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: many times did they show that Villanova commercial tonight? Oh

332
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: lots lots. Did that guy heavy heavy rotation for this one?

333
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: Because it was a Nick celebration. Yeah, it's been a

334
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: celebration since halftime, it's been a this is I told

335
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: her tonight was going to be a party. Yeah. The

336
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: middle of that second quarter, five point fifty five left

337
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: in the second quarter is when the Celtics finally scored

338
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: their third basket of the quarter, seventeen for the quarter.

339
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: And that was it. Why I said I was cool.

340
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: I got to halftime and like, what do we talk about?

341
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 1: This game sucks? So we'll have more on the greatest

342
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: sporting event in the last five years coming up in

343
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: the bank. Dude, I have no time for that. Tonight

344
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: I have bigger I have. I'm going to the I'm

345
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: going to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time

346
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: in twenty two No, no, no, I mean I got bigger fish.

347
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: Yesterday we hit we had the guys strike out O'tani

348
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: and then just take the ball. I mean, come on,

349
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: that was a big, big bobblehead night when he hit

350
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: two home runs. I did not watch one second of

351
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: the Mets and the Yankees, not one second. And you know,

352
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: Mitt the Mets, I've not watched one sing lying because

353
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: of that, because you know what, he didn't have the

354
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: TVs changed in the back though. I mean we were

355
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: here in nely an hour in the game telling me

356
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: you didn't ask for thirty seconds of a long time

357
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: when Soo came out there for him? No, no, I didn't.

358
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: What not, I didn't fifteen second one he would have

359
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: been in his car for part of it. That would

360
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: have gotten weird. Not one secnd. I mean I did

361
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: see him, you know, you know, tip his cap to

362
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: the crowd. Uh. Yeah, that's okay, that's fine, that's great.

363
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 1: I will worry about that tomorrow. That's a sixth to

364
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: your final as my uh as my high school Jim Teacher.

365
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: Mister Williams used to say, that's a story for another day.

366
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: There's a different story tonight, one ten seventy four with

367
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: six minutes left to go. But we'll have more on

368
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: the Knicks and the Celtics. However, big story from the

369
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: NFL today, Right, we thought the Broncolypse was coming, all

370
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: the different stories we had leaping up to it, and

371
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: the Brocolypse is here. Brock Purty and the forty nine

372
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: ers agree to wait five year, two hundred and sixty

373
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: five million dollar contract, one hundred and eighty one million

374
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: dollars in overall guaranteed money. That is a fifty five

375
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: million dollar a year average for brock Purty, who will

376
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: likely see all of this money. Being his fourth year

377
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: in the league, young enough, he's gonna and look, at

378
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: some point it will seem like a bargain year, three

379
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: year four. You know, perty's only getting fifty five million dollars.

380
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 1: So Perdy gets paid. We thought it was coming, and

381
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: it's here. And there's two big things I can tell you.

382
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: Why did Perdy get paid? Why did he get paid

383
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: this kind of money when he has been a good quarterback? Right,

384
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: He's been good. Has he been a top quarterback in

385
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 1: the league. No, but he's been good, right. He had

386
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: a really good promise his first year in a little

387
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: bit more than half a year, had a really good

388
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: second year, got to the super Bowl. Not a good

389
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: third year, right when the when the weapons got hurt

390
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: and he didn't have as many the forty nine ers

391
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: weren't very good. Right, So that that's his year. Bud's

392
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: generally how things work in the NFL, though, if your

393
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: weapons are no good an elite quarterback, if you're Josh Allen,

394
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you're throwing the Stefon Diggs or

395
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: if you're throwing two Quandre Diggs. Doesn't matter. But there's

396
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: always going to be a gap between guy one and

397
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: two and the next ten. Yeah. But but there's gonna

398
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: be players that make other players better, that are good

399
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: no matter who they're throwing to. And then there's players

400
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: who are good when they have a lot of weapons

401
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: around them. I've played two thirds of his passes. It

402
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: was twenty and twelve with a ninety six rating. Like

403
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: all the things, all the metrics we want to do,

404
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, twenty and twelve, is that fifty

405
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: five million dollars a year. Well that was Matthew Stafford

406
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: last year. But I'll tell you, I'll tell you who

407
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: was twenty in twelve. Yeah, okay, But also the Rams

408
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: got within a hair's breadth of the Super Bowl. So

409
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: there is that where the Niners were sitting and they say,

410
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: and they had it packed in beginning of December, said,

411
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: if we're going to do that, you did the staff things.

412
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: So twenty and twelve is not fifty five. You want

413
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: to lean a little bit more while and also talking

414
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: about a guy that won a Super Bowl, that's been

415
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: to a couple of super bowl you know, Matthew Stafford's

416
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: kind of had a good one. He's in the last

417
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: year and last year he was much better the second

418
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: half than brock perty was and he nearly got his

419
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 1: team to the Super Bowl, right his guys, and they

420
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: were playing well down the street. You want to argue

421
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: with me about something that I'm not arguing with you about.

422
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying brock Purty is pretty good. I don't know what.

423
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Why Why are you just mad that the Knicks are winning?

424
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: Brought up his stats and dismissed that. So is that

425
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: a great year? Is twenty and twelve a great year. No,

426
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: is it a good year? Yes? Did I say it

427
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: was a good year. It's a good year. It's a

428
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: good year. The next are winning. I'm sorry, I'm sorry

429
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: the Knicks are winning, but they're winning. I said it

430
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: was a good year. It's a good year. He got

431
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: He played pretty well. He's a good quarterback. Why did

432
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: he get paid? He got paid. A lot of reasons

433
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: is because of where he came from in the draft.

434
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: He's mister irrelevant, right, so when he comes in all

435
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it looks like you got really lucky.

436
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: And I'm sure the Niners have had to hear, and

437
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: John Lynch has had to hear the last few yar, boy,

438
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: look how lucky we got. They know we got lucky.

439
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: We drafted a guy that we didn't even know if

440
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: he was going to make the team, and here he

441
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: is now potentially our franchise quarterback who got us to

442
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: a super Bowl and is young and suddenly as someone

443
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: we didn't have to spend a big high draft pick on.

444
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: We got really lucky. And we can't let the lucky

445
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: guys leave, because, boy, if you if you got lucky

446
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: and a guy and let him leave. What does that

447
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: tell you? Now, flip this around, if instead of being

448
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: mister Irrelevant, brock Purty was taking third overall in the

449
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: draft like Trey Lance, what would people be saying? What

450
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: would be his contract situation? Are you ready to give?

451
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: Are they ready to give brock Purty fifty five million

452
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: dollars a year with the number three overall pick in

453
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: the draft and what he's done so far? Instead, it's more, Eh,

454
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: maybe we'll figure out something, maybe we'll franchise you something else.

455
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: But he's not getting fifty five million because the pedigree

456
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: of him coming into the league. The team would expect more,

457
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: and the city would expect more, the fans would expect more,

458
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: and the whole push behind why the universal love for

459
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: brock Purdy is out there wouldn't quite be what it

460
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: is because he seems like he's a lucky fine so

461
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: let we have to reward him and keep him. Whereas

462
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: if he was a number three overall pick, it would

463
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: be yeah, he's been good, but eh, is he a

464
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 1: guy we want to commit to? Is he really? When

465
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: you come with that high a pedigree, there's going to

466
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: be a different way you're looked at. Now. It shouldn't

467
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: matter because once you get into the NFL, you get

468
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: to the NFL and it's okay, Well, it doesn't matter

469
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: if a guy was taking three overall or mister irrelevant.

470
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: What you do on the field is what matters. But

471
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: because of where he came from and where he could

472
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: have been, there's a completely different outlook for his career.

473
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: And part of the reason why he got paid is

474
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: because he was he was a lucky find. He was

475
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: he was a he was a pot of gold at

476
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: the end of the rainbow. That's what it was, and

477
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why Perdy got this fifty

478
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: five million dollars deal. At some level, you could go

479
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: to the we've we've been able to underpay for several years,

480
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: so you're owed because we certainly see those deals back

481
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: end of negotiations, go back to Kobe's final deal and

482
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: so many others where you're like, is that guy really

483
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: should he be getting this money? He's like, well, he's

484
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: worth more than what he is doing necessarily on the court.

485
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: Right when you look at what he guys are to

486
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: an organization for perty, you're also looking at the larger

487
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: quarterback landscape where he is, where whether he can be

488
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: great again as you reset the offense. Right, a lot

489
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: of those guys are gone. You're hoping Christian McCaffrey comes back.

490
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: You're hoping George Kittle is the guy he was the

491
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: second half. At some point father time gets him too, right,

492
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: or wrestling or he becomes a wrestler the other one.

493
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: But I mean, are you Debo's gone? Like you know,

494
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: you've got all these moving parts. Yeah, Jennings came up

495
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: big for them. So you're hopeful that, all right, a

496
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: year of health whatever you reconstitute that offensive line that

497
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: you trust your brain, your brain trust that you're going

498
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: to be able to make him that guy he was

499
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: two years ago. If all the component parts are there,

500
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: and the quarterback landscape, look at look at what it's

501
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: a mess, right, we can say all we want, all right,

502
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: next year's draft class looks good, all right in theory,

503
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: and guys take shots in theory. But we've done that

504
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: how many times? Right, and even brought with Rock Perdy's class,

505
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that never made a damn bit

506
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: of a move movement in the NFL. So you found

507
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: the lucky penny, as you like to say. So, Yeah,

508
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: there's a there's a little bit of that of of hey,

509
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: now the expectation, but once you start playing. Yeah, I

510
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: mean we've heard for two years. Should they paid brock

511
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: Party That's been a very hot debated topic, certainly in

512
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: the world of sports TV and radio. And I look

513
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: around the like, where where do you place him? He's

514
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: still top ten, top twelve guy? Right, he's getting paid

515
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: a seventh just because he's the next man up. Yeah,

516
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: look right, It's all about timing and that's and that's

517
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: the other reason why did Perdy get paid? Because we're

518
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: starting to ask the wrong questions when a quarterback gets

519
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: paid fifty who deserves fifty million? Fifty five million? Because

520
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: that's a big way Brock Purty deserved this money. I

521
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: can give you a better answer than that, because I'll

522
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: tell you it doesn't matter if you think he deserves

523
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: the money or he doesn't. When a team, teams know

524
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: that it is miserable without a quarterback, they know life

525
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: is absolutely miserable because they see the teams that every

526
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: year try to churn through and try to find a quarterback.

527
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: Jets have been trying to find a quarterback for thirty years.

528
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: Like when you find a guy who all he's gotta

529
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 1: do is be a periphery top fifteen quarterback, right like party,

530
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: you know Purty is he at his best, he's a

531
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: periphery top ten, probably more of a twelve or fifteen,

532
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: but he's someone that is good enough you can win

533
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: with him, and he doesn't need to be replaced. And

534
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: when teams have a quarterback like that, now we're gonna

535
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: keep them. We're gonna give him what we need to

536
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: because A, it's a quarterback, and B it's miserable with

537
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: that are we gonna do better if we let him go?

538
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: This is why Trevor Lawrence got fifty five million, tremendously overpaid,

539
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars way, we took him high, and boy,

540
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: things could always be worse even though he's not that great.

541
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: Why did Gino Smith get a three year extension with

542
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders? They've been living. They know what life is

543
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: like without a quarterback. So let's take a guy who

544
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: probably is, you know, a league average, maybe a tiny

545
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: bit more than league average at his best. This is

546
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: why guys get these extensions, because they know how miserable

547
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: life is. So it doesn't it's not that a guy

548
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: needs to be a top seven, top eight guy to

549
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: get paid in mortas. Just if you're a top fifteen

550
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: quarterback or someone we don't feel the need to replace,

551
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna give you a lot of money because we

552
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: know how miserable life is without a quarterback. Those two reasons,

553
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: that's why I brought perty got paid. Well, you're the

554
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: guy in the room. So you know, in the case

555
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars, it's a have we failed this guy

556
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: and we don't want him to go be successful somewhere else. Right,

557
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: he was supposed to be the chosen one, right, We

558
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: laugh about it. Use the Star Wars line all the time.

559
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: Generational guy. That's what he was coming out of college.

560
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: Didn't they do him right? Right? Go back to Urban

561
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: Mile if you admire and everything that went down there.

562
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: If you're shot con or you're sitting there and you're

563
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: making the A value, it was like, well, can we

564
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: give him one more shot? Try to put some talent

565
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: around him, and maybe it works. Right, you make the

566
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: big swing, you go get a big star to come alongside,

567
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: and maybe you get some juice from that. But you know,

568
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: for the forty nine ers, they're one of the few

569
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 1: teams where you say, organizational stability is something that they

570
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: come to the table with with the luxury of all right,

571
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: we've watched Brock succeed. What are the things that have

572
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: made him successful in the past, and just owing it

573
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: to star power is fine? All right? Ayuk has been good,

574
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: degrade at times, debo when utilized properly. Before he started

575
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: carrying the ball eight times a game and getting broken

576
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: in half. It got cute, right it it works two

577
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: times a game. Hey, you know what if we did

578
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: it five times a game would be even better. Oh wait,

579
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: he's not eligible to play these last couple of games.

580
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: The doctors won't clear him. Damn it. Maybe we went

581
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: too far. But all of that and banking on McCaffrey's

582
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: legs for another year with the amount of usage, But

583
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: all of that to say you believe that with the

584
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: right structure and right players, that Brock perty's that guy.

585
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: Why go searching in the wasteland that is free agency

586
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: or the roll of the dice of the draft. You

587
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: did that, Trey Lance? Yeah you remember that that didn't work? Yeah,

588
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look, and because that's that's you know, go

589
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: to go back to my first point about getting you know,

590
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: taking you know and making sure you pay brock party.

591
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: Also that gets into that, Okay, well we got lucky

592
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: getting the guy, and we spent the third overall pick

593
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: we traded up to get this guy, and Trey Lance

594
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: gave them nothing. So that's more pressure to say, we

595
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: really got to keep party because we thought we had

596
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback position right for the next decade. And the

597
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: guys aren't even on the team anymore. So that's more

598
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: of the pressure of we gotta keep party. It's look there,

599
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: you're in a perfect spot right now. If you're a

600
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: quarterback and you can be a league average guy, you're

601
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna get paid, and you're gonna get paid a lot.

602
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna get forty fifty million dollars a year. That

603
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: that's how it's three years ago was you're really good,

604
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: you'll get twenty five million year, But now no, we

605
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: have double bat in the last three years. That's it.

606
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: The escalation of the salary there, wide receivers, cornerbacks, you

607
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,240

Speaker 1: New York He's the gig in New York again. I'm

744
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: the king and he was to you if you didn't

745
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,959
Speaker 1: know anything about the game, they had the scoreboard off

746
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: and they showed you just watched the fourth quarter, and

747
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: you spent most of the time watching TIBs, you would say,

748
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: are the Knicks losing by twenty? I mean, are the

749
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: Knicks are we have to go to Game seven against

750
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: the Celtics on Sunday because no matter what they're up,

751
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: Forty still got my arms fall. It's almost like he's

752
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: got his arms crazy glued, so he doesn't have to

753
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: hold his arms up like he's crazy glued together with

754
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: his arms folded. Is he found that that's less stress

755
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,439
Speaker 1: on his shoulders in that position, I think it would

756
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: be on his back and he's not you know, slump

757
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 1: slumping over. Yeah, I could be. That would have helped

758
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson. It was Phil getting out of that chair,

759
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. But but your you're Pointatibodeau, I mean,

760
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: it is key right because on the broadcast and you

761
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: and I just sitting there. It's like we remember Games

762

777
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: Carlisle is already complaining about the officiating. You can just

778
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: bow down's already. He's already upset. Well, we're better than

00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: the Pacers. We're better than they are. You were last

780
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: year and then everybody got hurt. You know who we finished.

781
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: We finished the year. Mark Jackson was playing point guard

782
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: for us. He was actually joyer celebration. He was this

783

784
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,680

00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 2: Of the year.

786
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: Last Mark Jackson referenced, I mean it, Rick Carlo. I'm

787
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: sure Rick Carlo is having a press conference stat I

788
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: really really helped the officiating gets called. I helped the

789
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: big market teams. Uh, don't get the benefit of the

790
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: doubt like they tend to because all the because all

791
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,399

Speaker 1: you know, tie to bowl. Does he hate the Knicks?

796
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: Because everybody's on board that bandwagen so he can jump

797
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,080
