1 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:11,840 is on leash. Are you listening? 2 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:12,800 Can you hear me? Hear me? 3 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,400 This is on leash. Are you listening? 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,320 Can you hear me? Hear me? 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,880 This is on leash. Are you listening? 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:17,800 Can you hear me? Hear me? 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,400 This is on leash. Are you listening? 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,080 Can you hear me hear? Me this is on leash. 9 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,480 Are you listening? What up everybody? 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,800 BT unleashed out of no rules Friday. 11 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,920 Let's go crank up the calls, Crank up the chat. 12 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,160 What a wild night last night. Knicks have, Knicks have. 13 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,920 Knicks have a lot of problems here, guys. 14 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,000 Knicks have a lot of issues. Things we worried about all year 15 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,640 outside of maybe some of you delusional Knick fans who told 16 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,680 me all year you're being too hard on the Knicks. 17 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,200 Knicks already. Knicks very well might lose this 18 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,800 series. I mean, if the Knicks lose in 19 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,600 the first round to the Hawks, who are running circles around 20 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,600 them, whether it's Quinn Snyder against Mike Brown, whether it's 21 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560 their interior players doing what they want, you know, 22 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,280 whether it's McCollum doing what he wants at the end of games. 23 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,920 Last night was an absolute, unmitigated disaster for the 24 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,720 Knicks here because, guys, think about this like, all right, 25 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,320 yeah, I don't, I don't need a sweep here, right? 26 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,400 Pistons lost the first game to the Magic. 27 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,520 Celtics lost the game to the Sixers, so I don't need a sweep. 28 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,480 But when you lose a game in the playoffs, right? 29 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,400 I'm I'm kind of interested to see what you do the next game. 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,560 Like early in the game, what did you learn? 31 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,120 You know, what are the adjustments here? 32 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,200 What do the Knicks do? What do they adjust to? 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,560 What do they let they learn? Nothing. 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,040 They adjusted to nothing. Knicks for losing by almost 20 35 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:43,200 in the first half. Really just an awful game at 36 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,480 another painful reminder that everything that we, at least 37 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,720 most of us rooted in the reality of what these Knicks truly have 38 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,600 been all year because they've showed us these inconsistent 39 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,800 signs all year. You know, So those of us who 40 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,000 have been worried about this stuff last night, just another 41 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,880 painful reminder that, you know, even if they do find a way to 42 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,039 scrape this together and get by the Hawks in round one mixer win 43 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:10,720 it a dance thing. Obviously the NFL draft will get 44 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,320 to that. Yankees pitching has been 45 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,480 phenomenal. All right, two in a row for the 46 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,240 Mets. We got a no rules Friday, as I 47 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,560 said, so let's jump into it. Today's show J Rod, as everybody 48 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,120 knows, brought to you by Sullivan Propane, of course, and 49 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,600 you can find Sullivan online to triallaw1.com. 50 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,760 That's trial law1.com. Remember the name Sullivan 51 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,880 Propane and by Premio sausage premio, the way sausage should 52 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:42,000 be fond of a premiofoods.com or in your local grocery store. 53 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,080 McHale Bridges is a dog. I mean, there's just all the way 54 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,080 to put this. He's just, he's just weak, man. 55 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,280 He's just like, I can't watch this guy play much anymore. 56 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:55,200 You look at the last couple of quarters of basketball from 57 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,680 Mikhail Bridges, he's literally been a complete 0. 58 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,360 No points last night, no points. You know, he had a plus minus of 59 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:15,200 -26 not in 38 minutes or 40 -, 21 pardon me -26 in 21 minutes. 60 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,240 Josh Hart was not good. We love Josh, but it wasn't 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,960 good. Mr. Key 3 as well, one for 9. 62 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,560 Knicks were really sloppy with the ball. 63 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,960 Inability to get a look at the final possession there and they 64 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600 just and didn't get stops when they needed it. 65 00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:31,760 And like what, where is this thing going? 66 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,760 Like, I really, I want somebody to tell me whether it's a call, 67 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,280 whether it's a chat and, and you better bring a very compelling 68 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,440 case because I I just don't see any evidence that that the 69 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,240 Knicks are going to suddenly, you know, fix and tweak. 70 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,960 And I'm not saying they won't win another game. 71 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,280 I'm not saying that at all. And I'm not even saying that 72 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,800 they won't win the first round. I'm definitely nervous. 73 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,200 Like, you know, if you were a Knick fan waking up today 74 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,600 saying, well, all right, they're down. 75 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,120 Had a couple of games, but you know, they'll come back, they'll 76 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,560 win Saturday, you know, handle business at the Garden and 77 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720 you're just rolling on this confidence, which to me is not 78 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,320 really rooted in the reality of what they are as a basketball 79 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,480 team. You are going to be sorely 80 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,360 disappointed very soon because to me, like the one thing I've 81 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,920 always said about this team, right? 82 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,959 And we know what they do well and and we know what they don't 83 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:23,640 do well. But my greatest concern about 84 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,960 the Knicks was and if this is all under the the the scope of 85 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,880 of winning a championship, that's it. 86 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,240 That's the evaluation when you make the moves that they made 87 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,920 when you've been together as long as they've now been 88 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,640 together as a core. Brunts has been here a couple of 89 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,360 years. It's not year one for Cat. 90 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,440 It's not year one for Bridges. Hart's been here for a couple of 91 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,760 years. Mitch has been part of the 92 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,160 Knicks organization for a while. I know they brought in some 93 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,000 bench pieces, but you know, a lot of these teams kind of, you 94 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,320 know, even championship teams kind of, you know, flip a few 95 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,240 spots in the offseason, bringing the shooter, you know, bringing 96 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520 it back up big, bringing the three and D guy. 97 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,680 Like the the lack of continuity for the Knicks is incredibly 98 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,400 alarming. And and like the lack of of 99 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,360 cohesion with one another at this point is just utterly 100 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,600 unacceptable and no other way to put it. 101 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,720 I mean, you look at their final possessions, nobody knows what 102 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,640 the hell to do. The other night they got Mike 103 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,200 Brown yelling, Hey, Cat come set the screen. 104 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,240 Cats in the corner and Cat played well. 105 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,880 I got no problem with cat really, except that they should 106 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,600 have gotten more shots. But the other night cats pinched 107 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,120 in the corner and you see Brown, you know, imploring him. 108 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000 Go set the screen. Go set the screen. 109 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,520 Like, shouldn't we know went to set the screen at this point and 110 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,040 then that final possession, again, he goes to set a screen. 111 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,800 The screens not there, they don't get a shot. 112 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,040 They turn it over, 15 turnovers. It's just he's not going to get 113 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,560 it done. And we listen. 114 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,720 We can talk about the nuances of the game. 115 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,880 We could certainly do that. But to me, it just remains big 116 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,720 picture about these New York Knicks. 117 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,680 And there's just like the the on court connectivity is simply not 118 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,680 where it needs to be to win a championship. 119 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,520 I mean, let alone, you know, breeze past the first round, 120 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,120 rest up and get ready for what's going to be a tough round. 121 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,200 Like you, you know, we always talk about the 90s next, right, 122 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,800 90s next pad Oak, Ewing, Mason, rightly, all the Starks, of 123 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,840 course, right. And the one thing about those 124 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:30,000 teams, even though they fell short obviously in 94 and of 125 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,760 course later on in 99, which was which was a different team spree 126 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,040 and Alan Houston. And that's what Larry Johnson, 127 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,600 right? But those Knick teams, they 128 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,680 handle business in the first round. 129 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,760 You know, you go back to like the early, early 90s and then 130 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,360 obviously into 94, you know, they would sweep the cabs or 131 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,560 they would sweep the Nets or they would smack the Hornets or 132 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:53,240 like they would just handle business. 133 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,840 Like, that was a team that even though they fell short because 134 00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,920 they just didn't have the horses, nobody was, you know, 135 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,440 nobody was good enough really to just play second fiddle as the 136 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,240 second star to Patrick Ewing. That's why Pat never won. 137 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,240 Not that Pat was perfect, but Pat never had that second star 138 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,960 like some of the other champions across the NBA universe. 139 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,600 But those teams were ready to go. 140 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,680 They didn't mess around. They didn't lose games that they 141 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,240 weren't supposed to lose. And here we are. 142 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,720 Even going back to last year, like that Piston series was 143 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600 unnecessarily arduous. Like it should not have been 144 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,520 that tough, even though the Pistons are a good team and they 145 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,840 were tough match up for the Knicks. 146 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,080 Like how can we take you seriously when you stumble and 147 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,200 you have to scratch and claw early? 148 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,520 That was last year. This year feels even worse 149 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,000 because it's clear. It's clear that you know Mike 150 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,680 Brown, just he just doesn't know what he's doing at this level. 151 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,280 These substitution patterns are atrocious. 152 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,160 You know what? The Knicks or or like the the 153 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,800 the he's still trying to figure this out. 154 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,960 Dude, you've had the same team. The Knicks didn't make a big mid 155 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,840 season move. They didn't bring in some star 156 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,320 who is, you know, ball dominant and all of a sudden it's a 157 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,640 massive curveball in the middle of the season. 158 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,560 And like Brunson's like, oh man, I'm used to having the rock. 159 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,640 I got to figure this out. I've got to find a way to be 160 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,800 compatible with this guy. You know, it's like it brought 161 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,320 in James Harden, you know, or, or Kevin Durant, who's obviously 162 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:26,480 one of the best of all time. Durant and and needs 202223 163 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,600 shots a night. It's the same team that you had 164 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,840 in training camp, but yet it's the same problems that you've 165 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,600 had all year long. So the thing that I've said and 166 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,880 I it pains me to really say, and, and I won't say it with 167 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,320 that, that, that final ounce of finality because they didn't 168 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,200 lose the series yet. And I still do think that they 169 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,520 scrape it together and they piece it together and they win 170 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,520 this series. I think I don't know if I bet on 171 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,960 it at this point. You know, initially think about 172 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,280 this guys, I said Nixon 5 early last week. 173 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,680 And then I'm like that, you know what? 174 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,280 And then they're they're a tough defensive team. 175 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,640 I didn't think the Hawks will be able to score and really execute 176 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,400 late the way they have been. So that surprised me. 177 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,520 But I knew they were a good rebounding team. 178 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,760 I know they had length. I know they were good, you know, 179 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,160 a good defensive team and I know that they're well coached with 180 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,120 Quinn Snyder, who's very good in Utah as well. 181 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,000 So I didn't think it would be easy. 182 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,520 And I actually amended that. I said that Nixon six. 183 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,240 Well, now, now they got to win a bunch straight just to have that 184 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,520 happen. I mean, if there's like if Jalen 185 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,600 Brunson has one bad, like a horrendous game the rest of the 186 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,240 way or cat, you know, slides back into invisible mode, or I 187 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,640 mean, if OG Ananova didn't play the way he played last night, 188 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,400 Knicks lose by 20. Like the Knicks get absolutely 189 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,520 obliterated last night. Utterly unacceptable, absolutely 190 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,800 terrifying. And guys, think about this, 191 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,720 right? This has been my main fear, my 192 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,240 main criticism of the Knicks to win a championship. 193 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800 And and I know I'm repeating myself here, but it's it's worth 194 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,800 repeating. To win a championship, you can't 195 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,360 have lols, you can't have peaks and valley. 196 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,840 I'm not saying you can't lose a game, but you can't still be 197 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,080 looking for your identity in late April. 198 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,000 What is the Knicks identity? Somebody want to tell me like, 199 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,240 what is it? You know, they're they're a good 200 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,280 offensive team, but they're still not not fully connected. 201 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,560 They're a good defensive team. And the number spit that back at 202 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,760 you, you know, but when you got to get stops like last night 203 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,760 when you got a box out and stop some action at the rim, which 204 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,800 they couldn't do it all, they didn't do it. 205 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,440 You know, a team that's going to win a championship needs to have 206 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,960 a coach that has a clue how to use his players, like the 207 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,160 allocation of roles To me, that there's that Mike Brown is still 208 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,960 trying to figure this thing out. It's laughable. 209 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,600 It gives you no confidence. And to win that championship, 210 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,680 you've got to have two months. I've said this all year, two 211 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:07,160 months of a buttoned up, consistent, high level 212 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,320 performance. But yet here we are every other 213 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,160 game, you know, evaluating different problems like bridges 214 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,080 seems to be a consistent theme. But like one night you know, 215 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,320 Brunson's playing hero bowl one night outside of 1/4 cats 216 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,720 invisible one night Josh Hart. Josh Hart can't hit the broad 217 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,440 side of a barn. One night O GS phenomenal. 218 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,520 Then he takes a big step back. One night the Knicks bench is 219 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,800 really good. Then it's kind of invisible. 220 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,200 One night, you know, deuce is taking a million shots and then 221 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,640 the next night he's taking none. Like what is this? 222 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,920 I don't, I don't know what this is, but but, but I do know that 223 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,640 it's nowhere near championship worthy. 224 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,720 So we'll play the game, we'll play the dance, we'll watch the 225 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,720 Knicks, we'll react to the Knicks every single night until 226 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,600 there's nothing else to react to really from a basketball point 227 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,080 of view this year. And then what we'll do is 228 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,760 whether it's in a week or whether it's in a month, but 229 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,640 it's going to be short of a championship and it's going to 230 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,800 be short of getting to the NBA Finals. 231 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,920 What we will then have to unpack is who's coaching the Knicks and 232 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,880 where are you trading Cat or I got to be honest with you, and I 233 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,320 almost don't even want to say this now. 234 00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:17,440 I love the guy and he's terrific and he's already been a great 235 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,560 Nick. And if he stays here a couple of 236 00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:22,760 more years, which he probably will, his Jersey's going to hang 237 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,760 from the Garden. We all love Jalen Brunson, but 238 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,120 I, I don't know about you guys, but I'm like, I'm starting to 239 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,360 get to the point now where it's becoming a little bit more and 240 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,960 more apparent that you're not going to win a championship if 241 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,560 Jalen Brunson's your best player. 242 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,800 You know, the deficiencies are just too problematic and the, 243 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,400 the penchant for just shooting and pounding the ball and 244 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,920 monopolizing the ball, it's just not congruent with a team that 245 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,800 is going to go far and win a championship. 246 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,160 So that's where we are. Last night was a basketball 247 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,560 atrocity. You know, you lose, it's one 248 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:03,600 thing like I this would be much more understandable, really. 249 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,560 All right, so let's Knicks win the first game like they did 250 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,920 Knicks come back, they win the second game, which they didn't, 251 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,160 right. But if they're up to zip you 252 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,240 going to Atlanta, you get and the crowd was good last night. 253 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,200 It's funny, my son during the game said, man, these Hawks fans 254 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,800 are really good. They're really loud. 255 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,080 And I'm like, yeah, they're usually not like that, but 256 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,400 they're feeling this group, right? 257 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160 And obviously the Knicks bring a lot of energy and all that stuff 258 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,480 and they really like this team. And by winning Game 2, obviously 259 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,520 they're a little bit more emboldened and and they're 260 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,800 feeling themselves, which is great. 261 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,880 It was really good homecourt advantage last night. 262 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,360 But I'm like now they're they're usually not like this in 263 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,480 Atlanta, whether it's the Braves or the Falcons or really 264 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,800 anything. I mean no disrespect to Atlanta, 265 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,880 but you know, the Atlanta Hawks fans are not exactly known to 266 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,000 be. You don't like Thunder fans or 267 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,520 even Knicks fans at the Garden or Celtic fans. 268 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,280 They don't have that reputation. They just don't. 269 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,760 But I was a little bit surprised at that. 270 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,440 But like, if the Knicks would have won the second game and 271 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,840 then you've got this desperate team, you're on the road and the 272 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,080 Hawks jump on you by 20 and then you you wake up, you call a time 273 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,200 out, guys, let's get this together. 274 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,320 What are we doing? And you know, you start to 275 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,680 figure things out even if you lose a close game, right? 276 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,560 It's a little bit more understandable. 277 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,480 But when you lose Game 2, like to me, this is emblematic of a 278 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,680 team that's going absolutely nowhere. 279 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,160 When you lose Game 2 and then you come out and you 280 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,880 sleepwalking in the first half when you're down by 18 points, 281 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,120 like how are we supposed to have conviction in you? 282 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,240 Why would we have conviction in you? 283 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,680 You're not showing us any visible, tangible evidence that 284 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,520 you've got that championship mindset, let alone the 285 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,320 championship roster. So if the rosters not good 286 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,760 enough and the the the effort or the the focus and the execution 287 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,840 is not good enough and the coach is not good enough, we're just 288 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,200 like we're spinning wheels, you know? 289 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,680 So again, we'll do the dance. The Knicks are going nowhere 290 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,320 this year. And I have told you that all 291 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,640 season. I've told you this guys, many of 292 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,880 you didn't want to believe it. And that's fine because you're 293 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,000 fans. I get it. 294 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,200 So am I. But the warning signs have been 295 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:12,640 here literally all season long. So not good, not good. 296 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,280 What was good was the draft, which I'll get to in a minute. 297 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,960 The draft was awesome. I mean, last night was a great 298 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,120 night. You know, Yankee pitching, still 299 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,600 phenomenal, Mets trying their best, giving up a granny. 300 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,400 I mean, there was about a minute sequence where it's like boom, 301 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,760 boom, boom, trades, Grand Slam. This, that last night was a fun 302 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200 sports night, but you got to leave with the Knicks. 303 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,800 It's the playoffs and the Knicks are like a little eight seed 304 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,000 that are. This is not even though they 305 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,600 weren't an 8 seed back in 2020. This is not the 2020 Knicks 306 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,240 where TomTom Thibodeau comes here and, you know, they pieced 307 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,960 together a roster and it's COVID and everybody's kind of all over 308 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,400 the map emotionally. And because you have Tom 309 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,520 Thibodeau, who is buttoned up and locked in and is going to 310 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,120 force you to play defense. Otherwise you're not playing. 311 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,040 Your ass is on the bench. Like the Knicks took advantage 312 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,760 of that because the NBA was very, it was a very odd NBA 313 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,880 season. It was very odd world really 314 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,000 with COVID. And the Knicks, to their credit, 315 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,200 took advantage of it. But we knew that team was going 316 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,240 nowhere. But it was still fun because 317 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,680 they overachieved that the Knicks we're back a little bit. 318 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,600 And like for the young Nick fans that never got to experience 319 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,760 what New York City is like, what the Garden sounds like once they 320 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,800 let the fans back in with some of the COVID regulations or 321 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,000 restrictions when they were lifted, you're like, oh, the 322 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,360 younger Nick fans like, oh, this is what I heard my dad talk 323 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,440 about. Oh, this is what my my Big 324 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,080 Brother saw. This what my uncle saw. 325 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,560 Yeah, this is what we're kind of used to. 326 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,080 But you know, in in the playoffs with the Knicks, but 327 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,160 unfortunately with this team, we are also getting used to this 328 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,200 madding level of inconsistency. It is a problem and it's not 329 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,360 going to resolve itself. The next big thing that we will 330 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,320 talk about is how do you get Giannis? 331 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,160 And I'm not going to even do that now, but that's coming. 332 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,079 There will be a day, and it might be very soon on Unleashed 333 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:08,440 where we will talk about, all right, you know, who, who's 334 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,240 getting shipped out? Like who's gone? 335 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:13,920 What's Mike Brown going to do? Who's coaching? 336 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,040 Is it Billy Donovan? I'm like, I don't know what this 337 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,480 team is going to do. And I have had the thought and I 338 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,079 just said this before and I hate saying it, but I've got to be 339 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:26,839 true to what my eyes are telling me. 340 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,520 And I love the guy. He's one of my all time 341 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,920 favorites already. But you have to, on some level 342 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:38,080 at least begin to imagine. Imagine possibly what a world 343 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,440 for the Knicks would be like without Jaylen Brunson. 344 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,960 I'm sorry. So J Rod, just I know you got 345 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,600 your hands full with the Sixers here. 346 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,960 We'll see what I would imagine you guys have bounced back, but 347 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,320 you never know. Just that really an incredibly 348 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,280 alarming performance by a team that had championship 349 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,520 aspirations, expectations, payroll. 350 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:05,680 Every move they made is for now. And right now feels maybe not 351 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,560 broken, but certainly nowhere near good enough to win this 352 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,440 week. Winning nothing. 353 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,800 Yeah, no, I mean, absolutely. I mean, dude, my like my 354 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,600 roommate, he comes into the apartment this morning and man, 355 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,880 this guy just looked defeated. Dude it and it's tough, you know 356 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,880 it. It's painful because in my heart 357 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,320 of hearts, I want to still believe, and not that this 358 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,720 matters at all, but I want to still believe that the Knicks 359 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,240 will win this series. But other than that, yeah, I 360 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,160 think the road stops here. And like, this isn't even some 361 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,520 Celtics vias. It's just like they look awful. 362 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,360 I mean, Mikhail Bridges stinks. He is. 363 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,720 I am so sick of Mikhail Bridges. I just I don't want to watch, 364 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,960 honestly. I mean, I know that Mike Brown's 365 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,960 not going to do this, but now he's got to start looking at 366 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,800 guys at the back of that, the rotation who aren't even playing 367 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,520 right now. Like it might be MO Diora Diora 368 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,320 time. It might be he can shoot D Like 369 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,440 it's it's it's getting, you know, you're going to need some 370 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,920 more minutes for Alvarado. It's time to start doing some 371 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,520 stuff. I don't know what he's waiting 372 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,280 for. His rotations are atrocious. 373 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,040 No, I saw something. It was like maybe slide bridges 374 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,800 into that Iguodala roll, just hope maybe he can play some 375 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,360 defense off the bench. And like for him, that is just 376 00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:23,920 absolutely wild to be like to to be compared to like a 37 year 377 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,520 old small forward who's like so out of their prime. 378 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,960 It was ridiculous. And like, that's who people view 379 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,800 you as now is just, it's embarrassing. 380 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,320 It really is. It's a it's embarrassing, but 381 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,480 even more specifically, it's a massive problem here. 382 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,200 All right, let's start getting some reaction here. 383 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,320 We'll get the calls go and hopefully everybody's having a 384 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,920 Good Friday. No rules Friday. 385 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,400 Not that there's ever rules we got. 386 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,800 No what what rules do we have? We we don't need rules. 387 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,560 We do whatever we want, you know, here on the show, which 388 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,360 today includes absolutely tearing apart the Knicks because 389 00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:58,440 they deserve it. Charlie 60s Charlie F 6675. 390 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,960 Thank you, Charlie. Knicks had an opportunity, we 391 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,080 all thought, to make the Finals. Partially because of the 392 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,360 weaknesses of the Eastern Conference. 393 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:08,240 True, Tatum heard earlier all the different circumstances. 394 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,280 Obviously Halliburton with the Pacers, Knicks took a step back 395 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,880 with Brown, and that is the difference in 2026. 396 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,960 Well, you know, I'm, I'm, yeah. I mean, Mike Brown was not my 397 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,800 first choice. I we, we know that, right? 398 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,520 You know, I was willing to give him a chance because I thought 399 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,920 and then it was time for the Knicks to move on from Tom 400 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,080 Thibodeau. Now, if the Knicks lose in the 401 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,840 first round, you know, what I said is completely without 402 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,880 justification, it will have been a bad take and anybody and there 403 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,040 was a lot of us who thought it was time to move on from Tom 404 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,360 Thibodeau. Nobody was clamoring for Mike 405 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,280 Brown. If you remember, the Knicks 406 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,600 coaching search was all over the map. 407 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,760 Staley, the, you know, going Staley and talking to everybody. 408 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,840 Malone, I'm like, are we going to hire him? 409 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Like what's going on here? You just heard a lot of 410 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,880 different names and they settled on by Brown and it was a very 411 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,600 convoluted, very confusing, you know, search. 412 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,440 And to me, like, if there's one thing when you're doing due 413 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,560 diligence like that's good, you're turning over every rock. 414 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,120 To me, it was not that. It's not like the Knicks were, 415 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,200 in my opinion, it's not like the Knicks were so buttoned up and 416 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,000 they buttoned up and they had this great plan where they had 417 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,240 five or six people and they really wanted to thoroughly 418 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,760 investigate on who's best for this group of players because we 419 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,800 know that this coach is going to have the expectations of the 420 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,200 championship. And I think it maybe it seemed 421 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,280 like that to some of you because they were talking to everybody. 422 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,360 Oh, wow, Knicks are really the Knicks are casting a wide net. 423 00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:33,840 What a broad scope. What a phenomenal job by the 424 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,840 Knicks. No, I thought it was very you're 425 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,400 disjointed and you talk to everybody. 426 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,880 You know, you didn't call Pitino, you didn't call Danny 427 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,520 Hurley. You may as well call them 428 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,520 because you spoke to everybody else. 429 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,360 So, man, I don't know what to tell you here except that, you 430 00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:52,920 know, unfortunately I fear that I'm going to be right and I 431 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,720 don't want to be right about this. 432 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,400 And again, I I still I I mean, I keep saying I still think that 433 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,000 they win the series, but the matchups are not looking very 434 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,520 favorable and think about the possibility. 435 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,880 And I'm not going to even go back to this. 436 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,400 Well, if they because they needed other things to happen. 437 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,160 Remember they laid down against the Hornets that last game and 438 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,280 we talked about that a little bit. 439 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,480 I didn't go nuts because to me, you know, you do what you do. 440 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,720 And if you are good enough to win a championship or get deep 441 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,520 and make a run of the championship, then the matchups 442 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,360 that you have and the personnel that you have, you shouldn't be 443 00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:27,520 so hell bent on what we play better against the Raptors. 444 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,880 And you know, we don't know if we love this Hawks mat, whatever 445 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,120 it might be like just go out there, play ball and force the 446 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:36,480 other teams to respond to you. But there is no denying because 447 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,840 I told you this, because we we watched the season that once the 448 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,240 Hawks made the trade with Trey Young did what they did. 449 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,760 You know, they the Knicks had a a much tougher time with the 450 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,840 Hawks then they did the Raptors. Like they smacked the Raptors 451 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,480 like they would have swept the Raptors here. 452 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:55,600 But I think that because it was a smaller sample, I know they 453 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,640 played them at the end of the year, brunted at a big fourth 454 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,360 quarter down there. But in the regular season, like 455 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:04,360 these matchups are are are just they are they are problematic 456 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,320 for the Knicks here. Like you can look at it two 457 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,480 ways, all right. And I choose to look at it the 458 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,680 way that's rooted in reality. Like I don't get wrapped up. 459 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,760 Maybe I do a little bit before the season, but once things 460 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,960 start, all I care about was what I'm looking at, right? 461 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:21,080 And you know, I think if you're sitting there saying, wow, the 462 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,560 Knicks are the higher seed and maybe he didn't watch the Knicks 463 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,640 every night like many of us do, or he didn't really check in on 464 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,960 the Hawks at all. And the Hawks, there were six 465 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,160 seed. Come on, Knicks is supposed to 466 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,920 get to a championship or the Finals again in the Eastern 467 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,360 Conference. They'll find a way to win this 468 00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:37,360 thing. If you're leaning on that logic 469 00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,840 or that thought process, you are going to be sorely disappointed 470 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,160 because you're missing things that are happening in front of 471 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,120 your eyes. All you have to do is watch the 472 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,800 the players that the Hawks roll out, and it's not favorable 473 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,480 matchups for the New York Knicks. 474 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,440 And the NBA is all about matchups. 475 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,000 So that's where we are right now. 476 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,880 That's where we are. Oh my God. 477 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,400 All right, Jay, do you want to start hammering some calls here, 478 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,480 buddy? Yes, Sir. 479 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,520 Let's get on Benji from Upper East. 480 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,320 Side, obviously starting with the Knicks here. 481 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,120 We'll get to the draft stuff, obviously. 482 00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,920 OK, let's do it. Thank you there, J Rod, Benji's 483 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,040 on the Upper East Side on a Friday. 484 00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:17,600 Knicks look awful. Benji, what's going on, buddy? 485 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,400 How are you? BTI feel like I got run over by 486 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,320 a by a completely, you know, massive truck, but I'm trying to 487 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,720 pick myself up and understand that we are one win. 488 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,800 We're just win the game tomorrow and all the energy and the 489 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,120 series shifts back to us and our positivity and we can take this. 490 00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:41,200 We don't need to look beyond last night's game. 491 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,760 Anything beyond this series is irrelevant. 492 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,600 All the other stuff, offseason, whatever. 493 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,280 We obviously played a terrible Game 3, but especially to start 494 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,480 the game. No excuse to come in and look so 495 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,200 disjointed. I'm I'm very surprised that 496 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,040 Brunson did not come with more energy early in the game. 497 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,600 He, he, he just. Reverted back to the ISO ball. 498 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,960 The cat thing, I I paid close attention to it. 499 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,120 He's been the best player for us in the series. 500 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,400 I agree. Well, and and and OG was great 501 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,480 too, but no, you're not wrong. I mean, cat was. 502 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,880 I got no problem with cat. He's 16 for 16 from the line. 503 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,680 He's still getting 12 shots a game. 504 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,480 The first time he actually got a normal post up the lead was with 505 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,760 like 8. Just over 8 minutes to go in the 506 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:23,400 third. Quarter. 507 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,520 The second that Muhammad Gay checks into the game, you should 508 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,040 pass the ball to him every single time. 509 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,760 The same way when I'm in a game, I'm a string beam, String beam, 510 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,720 like physique. Somebody sees a big. 511 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,000 The second I'm in, I'm in the game and there's a big man, he's 512 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,360 attacking me. That's the way it needs to be. 513 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,760 We have to make this adjustment for Game 4. 514 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,800 I I look, I'm not I'm. Trying to be level headed here. 515 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,920 The bridges thing is a major major. 516 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,280 Issue, he's just horrendous. He's been a complete colossal 517 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,840 disappointment. I don't care what he does next 518 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,960 game. He could drop 30. 519 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,240 It was still a bad move by Leon Rose. 520 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,480 Leon Rose absolutely whipped on that trade period. 521 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,600 He whipped. And just like you said, and just 522 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,760 like you said with Deoara, he needs serious consideration. 523 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,680 At least with Clarkson, he's coming out there playing 524 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,800 aggressively, getting offensive rebounds. 525 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,560 He's making things happen in the paint. 526 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,480 We know with Alvarado, he's limited offensively, but he's 527 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,120 getting up in somebody's face. He's putting. 528 00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:23,120 Pressure on defense. We need to respond tomorrow and 529 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,360 I'm going to take it a step further here because I believe 530 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:26,640 we're going to get this win. Here's. 531 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,120 What's going to happen? We're going to win the game 532 00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:31,080 tomorrow. It's going to be two 2 heading 533 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,200 back home. You send me Adm, you join me in 534 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,200 the seats for Game 52 Stella cans. 535 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,080 Let's get it rocking. Well, you still bring with that 536 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:40,920 invite. Yeah. 537 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,600 I, I, you know, I that's, that's a that's very generous. 538 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,520 That's awesome. And I'm not saying no. 539 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,320 I've got two kids and I've got basically something every night. 540 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,200 So it's, it's just a little tricky to do that, but I'm not 541 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,000 saying no. And I really appreciate that. 542 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,520 Benji, thank you for the call. I do have the DM we got you can 543 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,160 you can hit me up as well. Thanks for the call. 544 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,400 Yeah, I mean, that's a that's a fairly level headed take there. 545 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,200 I mean, you know, it it I, I don't know how any Knick fan 546 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,960 right now can be, can be and any anything that resembles anything 547 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,840 remotely close to being brazen. Like if you are, you just like, 548 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,600 wow, we're better because we're the higher seed or we're better 549 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,080 because we're from New York or because we're supposed to win. 550 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,680 Like, the eye test right now has got to be telling you, if you 551 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,960 know basketball, that these are problematic matchups the rest of 552 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,080 this series. So, you know, do I think the 553 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,840 Knicks come up, you know, win the next game? 554 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,920 I do. I I kind of I I do. 555 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,720 But you talk about adjustments, right? 556 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,760 And that hasn't that really been much of the theme this year, 557 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,240 like the adjustments? Think back to training camp, 558 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,720 right? When Carl Anthony Towns at the 559 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,000 press conference to start off training camp, he said, hey, you 560 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,680 know, and, and it was it was fairly innocuous, but I was 561 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,440 like, I don't know if I love that. 562 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,000 And I commented on that. Didn't go nuts. 563 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,040 But he's like, yeah, I don't know what my role is yet. 564 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,000 Still trying to figure that out. All right, it's October. 565 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,240 Well, now, now it's April and we're still trying to figure 566 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,960 this out because there should never be unless Jalen Brunson, 567 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,920 it just comes out and drops like 18 in the first quarter and just 568 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,480 has that look where he's going for 40 or 50. 569 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,320 Then he could take 2530 shots and and that's fine because he 570 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,200 has done that before and he's had a lot of monster games in 571 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,920 the post season with 40 plus and he's a big time clutch scorer. 572 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:31,800 All right, and he's earned that right. 573 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,440 He's earned that that that latitude to to figure it out 574 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,080 when it's not going well. And I certainly he checked when 575 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,040 he's going well. I mean, beyond any I mean, 576 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,280 everybody at the NBA level has the green light when you're hot 577 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,920 to just put up one more to see. All right, this is going to be 578 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,480 an all time night, but especially Jaylen Brunson. 579 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,080 But the shot disparity, there should not be this discrepancy 580 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,680 in terms of shots taken. I don't know why Can you get 581 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,600 Carl? It's funny, I'm now I'm banging 582 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,760 the drum for Cat because he's earned it. 583 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,520 And I have peeled back my criticisms of Karl Anthony Towns 584 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,200 for about the last month or so, maybe month and a half. 585 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,240 Go back, check the channel. I was banging all over him early 586 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,800 like I was, I was all over him, you know, and even last night it 587 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,720 late, you know, fourth quarter, there were a couple of time like 588 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,280 he did try to aggressively get to the rim, had the ball 589 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,200 stripped. You know, you see the feet from 590 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,040 the legs flailing, the arms flailing like a baby giraffe on 591 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,800 skates. Like it's just, it's never like 592 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,200 tight with Karl Anthony Towns now he was, he was going, he was 593 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,080 trying to get downhill, whether it was baseline. 594 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,640 There was another one where he was like foul line extended and 595 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,320 he went down the paint both times it was knocked away. 596 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,600 But at least the energy in the motor was high. 597 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,360 Like the focus was there. The the willingness to initiate 598 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,800 aggressive offense was there. And I've called on him to do 599 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,000 that for a while. So I give him credit there. 600 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,960 But even in those moments where you're like, all right, I'd like 601 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,880 to see a little bit more Polish. You know, you're not 65 trying 602 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,440 to go in there with some big boys, 270 LB man who's got an 603 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,000 immense amount of skill from the outside, but it still looks 604 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,520 sloppy. You know, I but that's Karl 605 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,480 Anthony Towns. This is not the day to bang on 606 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,960 him. It's not the day to bag on him. 607 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,840 He's doing his job. And really for the last month 608 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,800 and a half, I think he's done his job what's being asked of 609 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,640 him at an incredibly high level. I talk a lot about adaptability, 610 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,640 right? You know, one of the things I 611 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,360 always reference here because I think it probably illuminates 612 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,280 the best and I'll stick with basketball is, is Pat Riley. 613 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,920 You know, Pat Riley with the Lakers. 614 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,520 One one way, score 125 points, run you out of the gym fast, 615 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,600 break up the up the wazoo and then you got a little skyhook 616 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,200 when it's time to to ice the game. 617 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,360 Boom. That's how we won with the 618 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,760 Lakers. And then he comes here and he's 619 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,080 got the complete antithesis. You know, Patrick, who is, you 620 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,880 know, still was still a really good athlete at that point, but 621 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,360 certainly not Kareem, not that kind of player. 622 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,000 Magic Johnson here, no James Worthy here, no Michael Cooper 623 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,520 or Byron Scott here. So he looked at his personnel 624 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,880 and instead of trying to win 127, you know, to 113, he's 625 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,880 like, all right, I got to grind it out. 626 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,120 We got to maximize possessions and we got to beat the shit out 627 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,120 of you and we got to foul you and we've got to we've got to 628 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:23,920 instill fear in you and we've got to win 87799186. 629 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,520 All those games we watched, which were great, like the 630 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,760 Knicks would hit a jump shot. I'm like, oh, here we go. 631 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,280 I mean like this, you know, in the second quarter, Derek Harper 632 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,880 or Hubert Davis or Greg Anthony, like I'm trying to think of some 633 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,480 of the guards. Somebody hits like a a 17 foot 634 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,560 open jump shot. I'm like, all right, the offense 635 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,320 is clicking like that represented a big moment, you 636 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,280 know, because the Knicks were so, you know, their style. 637 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,880 And then from there, so you had the Lakers version, the Knicks 638 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,200 version, and now you had when he went to the Miami, it was 639 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,240 definitely a lot like the Knicks. 640 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,200 But then it adapted and he further adapted as the NBA began 641 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,160 to change. And obviously Dwyane Wade and 642 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,960 LeBron helps that when he's the president. 643 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,400 But I see 0 adaptability with Mike Brown. 644 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,680 I see the same exact team. I mean, he wasn't, at least he 645 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,000 was adaptable to the bench playing more than Tom Thibodeau. 646 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,280 But you know, Modi Aura, who's looked pretty damn good to me. 647 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,560 I haven't seen him in the playoffs. 648 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,320 Why not? You know, not that I need to see 649 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,160 Tyler Kolek, but Tyler Kolek had some really good moments this 650 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,680 year and then he forgot about him. 651 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,000 I know that Alvarado's acquisition changed that. 652 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,600 I get that. But I want to see a little bit 653 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,240 more Alvarado as well. So I just see the same team 654 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,280 trying to play the same way and just a a frustration and an 655 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,520 inconsistency. There's the play by Cat again. 656 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,720 Yeah, he got an offensive rebound, baseline pump fake. 657 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,440 I'm watching the highlights again. 658 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,040 You know, OG stopped at the R.E.M. a got hit on the hand. 659 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,880 OG was great. But yeah, I mean, count. 660 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,920 I would have nothing negative to say about Cat if he would have 661 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,800 finished those two, those two drives that I that I was just 662 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,720 talking about. But really over the last month 663 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,840 and 1/2, he is at least embraced his role, you know, a little 664 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,240 more pick and roll with actually a lot more pick and roll with 665 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,040 Brunson hitting the window, you know, being more of a big man 666 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,960 facilitator and on and embracing and not complaining. 667 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,400 I mean, it's got to be killing him. 668 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,880 He's got to be sitting there saying, and you know, he should 669 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,480 say this to Mike Brown. I don't know if Mike Brown wants 670 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:19,880 to hear it. I don't know if Mike Brown would 671 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,360 change anything about it. But like, I'm at the point of 672 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,440 I'm Coral Anthony Towns. I'm knocking on his door. 673 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,920 I'm saying, yo, let's go get me the ball, get me the basketball, 674 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,640 get me the ball early. Let me eat early. 675 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,160 I, I, I can't just have 1/4 where I get fed. 676 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,880 I go off and then you guys forget about me again. 677 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,160 Like you got to change this. That's the only reason why I 678 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,960 bring up the Pat Riley adaptability. 679 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,000 So, you know, Mike Brown is just not doing it. 680 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,640 He's not doing it. He's not done a good job this 681 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,000 year. I know they won more games than 682 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,840 Tom Pibbido last year, but style it did last year. 683 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,840 But stylistically, you know, if you don't have an identity, how 684 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,680 are you going to win a championship, right? 685 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,360 And I'll get to the Yankees a little bit later. 686 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,560 It's not a big baseball day, but the Yankees started pitching has 687 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,680 been aces again. I mean, six straight starts, 688 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,400 phenomenal, right? And the Yankees sweep the Red 689 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:10,719 Sox. You got to love seeing that. 690 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,080 But like one of the reasons why I think the Yankees haven't won 691 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,000 a World Series, first of all, they're built incorrectly as we 692 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,280 know with Cashman. But I don't know what the 693 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,920 Yankees identity has been. It's been I judge go go hit 55 694 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,000 home runs and let us win 90 something games and make the 695 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000 playoffs. And hopefully we mess around to 696 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,400 get lucky. And they have not they have not 697 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,679 won anything right. But if you go back to the Yankee 698 00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:37,239 championship teams, obviously 969899 and then 2000 and then 699 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,639 2009, like there was a much more clearer identity. 700 00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:43,560 Like you knew how they who they were high on base, a lot of 701 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,840 power, you know, obviously a lockdown bullpen, MO. 702 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,040 But even before MO identity was clear. 703 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,080 They caught the ball. They had a couple of guys who 704 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,520 can run. Nobody was banging 50 bombs, but 705 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:55,920 everybody was hitting at least 20. 706 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,400 You know, and they made you work. 707 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,680 I mean, you look at some of the OP s s I know it was the steroid 708 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,040 era and, and who knows who was doing what, but you look at some 709 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,440 of the OP s s for those Yankee teams, like everybody had, you 710 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,720 know, 838-4870 couple of guys in the nines. 711 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,960 You know, So I, I, I, I at least with this Yankee team, I believe 712 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,520 their identity is going to be clearly starting pitching, 713 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,880 especially when you get Gary Cold and Rodon back. 714 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,640 What is the Knicks identity? Let's hope Brunson scores 40 and 715 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:28,960 let's hope they don't ignore cat. 716 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,760 What? What is their identity? 717 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,200 How could you be a champion without an identity? 718 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,680 I don't know. You know when the Ravens won 719 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,040 those championships? Their identity, Phenomenal 720 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,040 defense, right? The Giants with Parcells, what 721 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,520 was their identity? Linebackers and a tough 722 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,440 quarterback who made the right play in Phil, and then hostetler 723 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,960 or more athletic quarterback who made plays. 724 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,440 Eli's championships, what was their identity? 725 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,280 Get to Tom Brady, make him uncomfortable, sack him, hit 726 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,440 him, push him around and then put the ball in the hands of Eli 727 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,040 by and let him make some clutch plays. 728 00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:06,440 It worked. That was their identity. 729 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,800 Great coaching and I'll be you know, obviously Tiki never won, 730 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,880 but at least with Tiki the identity was Fitique, who was 731 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,440 one of the best players in the NFLI. 732 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,400 Don't know what the Knicks identity is. 733 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,360 So problem, big problem. Big time. 734 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,120 God, like, I want to get to the NFL draft, but I don't think I'm 735 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,320 done hearing out the Knicks. They really pissed me off last 736 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,120 night. That is just egregious. 737 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,240 That is pathetic to be down by 18 points early when you lose 738 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:39,160 the previous game. Like that should happen when 739 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,360 you're up 3 zip and you know nothing. 740 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,160 I don't think the Knick, this Knicks team is wired this way. 741 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,720 So I'm just saying this for effect. 742 00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:48,320 But you're up 3 nothing. You're playing a team that you 743 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,280 know can never come back and win four straight. 744 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,160 So you go to a city, maybe you go out, especially if you're in 745 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,320 Atlanta, go to, you know, Magic City, whatever you're going to 746 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,720 do. But Knicks players don't do 747 00:36:57,720 --> 00:36:59,000 that. I don't think, I don't think the 748 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,040 NBA players even really roll the way that they used to roll 749 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,840 because the cameras, right? But like, if you know the old 750 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,760 days, you're up threes and whatever would just take the 751 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,440 night off here. We'll go out, we'll have a fun 752 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,160 night. And then, you know, we'll suck 753 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,760 it up. We'll lose, we'll come back and 754 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,560 then we'll just smoke them and we'll put them out of their 755 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:19,040 misery by halftime. You lose Game 2, and it's a 756 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,600 complete opposite. No urgency, no focus, no 757 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,560 production, no defense, sloppy rotations. 758 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,760 Just a mess. Just a mess. 759 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,560 All right. How was the chat today, Jay? 760 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,200 It's popping dude. People got to be pissed, right? 761 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,720 Yeah, I mean, they're just going in. 762 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,880 Seems like there's just an air of of defeat. 763 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,160 An air of defeat in the air with the Knicks. 764 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,880 All right, let's get back to the polls. 765 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,320 Who we have there, Jay, we've got. 766 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,440 Brandon from Cleveland called. The Knicks. 767 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,240 All right, The great city of Cleveland. 768 00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:56,400 There you go. Ohio in the house. 769 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,520 Brandon, what's happening, buddy? 770 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,840 How you doing? BT brother, you got me. 771 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,480 Yes, Sir, I got you. What up, man? 772 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:08,040 I just feel like we are seeing all of the issues that we kind 773 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,000 of whistled past the graveyard with the Knicks over the last 774 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,200 year, just collapsed in front of our face. 775 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,640 All the time out, 22nd time out on the floor. 776 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,960 All due respect, don't say we. I was not. 777 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,480 OK, Fair, fair, fair. Just to be clear here, man, I 778 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,880 got enough LS on the resume. You know what I'm going to tell 779 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,160 you. All right, go ahead. 780 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,200 Go ahead. It starts with the with the 781 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,760 coaching, it starts with the search. 782 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,520 We fired Tibbs. We had no real plan. 783 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,280 Yep. We just basically went out and 784 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,560 said, hey, who wants to be the coach of the Knicks? 785 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,680 We made it to the Eastern Conference finals, so who wants 786 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,680 to sign up? And we end with Brown and being 787 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,440 from Cleveland. He couldn't even win with the 788 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,120 second best player in NBA history. 789 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,440 I don't know if they had the roster to win a championship at 790 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,120 that point, but I, I, I got you. And by the way, he's a two time 791 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,960 coach of the year. He's not a scrub. 792 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,040 He's just not a championship coach, obviously. 793 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,520 It always starts out hot for him. 794 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,760 It just, we didn't even have the runway that he had in 795 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,320 Sacramento. You know, we kind of like, oh, 796 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,160 maybe this maybe this team is maybe this team is good when we 797 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,320 won the NBA Cup. Maybe Brown is the coach. 798 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,200 All he's given, he's given the bench a longer runway. 799 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,320 The starters are getting more time off their the minutes are 800 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,040 down. OK, well, it's the playoffs now. 801 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,240 These guys shouldn't be averaging 3435 minutes in the 802 00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:36,160 playoffs. Now is the time that you play in 803 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,120 40 minutes. Yeah, now is when that. 804 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,560 Yeah, now that's you kind of you just run them into the ground 805 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,880 now. Yeah, I I yeah, I, I, I can't 806 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,440 say that the distribution of minutes is the main issue though 807 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,120 here. Brandon. 808 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,560 That's not what I'm not saying that it's perfect and his 809 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,560 rotations stink. So, I mean, they're it it's it's 810 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,640 embarrassingly bad. Some of the combinations that 811 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,320 he's put out there. I remember after game one was 812 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,920 no, I guess it was, it was Game 2. 813 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,160 Pardon me. Where? 814 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,920 Hold on. I just want to make sure I have 815 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,360 this right. I wrote this down. 816 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,520 It was Game 2 and they had. They had five guys out there and 817 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,760 it was only for a couple of minutes, but they lost the game, 818 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,320 Right. And they had never had those 819 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,160 five guys out there play together in in a game during the 820 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,240 regular season. So Mike Brown, in his inherent 821 00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:25,200 genius, decides that's a good time to trot it out during where 822 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,080 the hell is it during the NBA playoffs? 823 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:28,080 Here it is. I got it. 824 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,120 Good God, these notes are popping up, man. 825 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:31,880 Yeah. So it was it was three. 826 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,920 It was like 3 1/2 minutes. They had Alvarado Clarkson, 827 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,280 excuse me, Bridges OG and Mitch Robinson never did that once 828 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,280 during the entire regular season. 829 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,520 And Mike Brown unveils that lineup, you know, for a couple 830 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,480 of minute sequence in the playoffs. 831 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,520 And how stupid is that? I mean, who who in the hell is 832 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,760 scoring in that lineup? Who is scoring? 833 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,000 Who is going to be the primary scorer there? 834 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,440 His lineups, his lineups are just insane. 835 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,880 But I just felt that it it just felt like everything was 836 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,560 collapsed. And when like in the middle of 837 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,720 the second quarter, Bridges gets the ball at the top of the key, 838 00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:12,040 he looks so scared. He didn't even dribble. 839 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,960 He threw a little floater to Mitch. 840 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,160 It got tipped fast, break the other way, dunk. 841 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,280 It goes from like 10 to to 12 crowds going crazy. 842 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,840 And then they basically that was most of the minutes that Bridge 843 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,080 has seen for the rest of the night. 844 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,000 But. His ass was yeah, yeah, yeah. 845 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,560 His ass was where it should have been just pinned to the bench. 846 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,800 And and thank you for the call. I appreciate that. 847 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,920 There you go. Yeah, Look at that, Ohio. 848 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,280 I think that's the first call from Cleveland right there, Jay. 849 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,520 Yes, Sir. Yeah, No, we've had Florida. 850 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,760 We've, you know, we've had Carolina, Jordan, UK. 851 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,080 Yeah, Australia in. Ohio. 852 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,880 Yep. Yeah, All right, there you go. 853 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:48,640 Global. Let me. 854 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,480 Yeah, no doubt. Let me at least start dropping 855 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,400 some some coverage here for the draft, some reaction. 856 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,720 Obviously Nick's the theme.

I'll ask you for your name, your 869 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,440 question, and then where you're calling from. 870 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,240 I'll send a link to this studio and then throw you up here. 871 00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:41,800 So 2 clicks, 2 links and you're calling with BT. 872 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,440 Clickity click, clickity clack, and you're on the show. 873 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,920 All right, Good job there, Jay Rod. 874 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,360 Appreciate it. All right, so listen, let's get 875 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:50,920 to the draft here. Now. 876 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,280 I wanted The Jets to trade out of two. 877 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,960 I knew they weren't going to. I mean, listen, everybody's got 878 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,920 an opinion on Bailey. Some people think he's going to 879 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,520 be phenomenal. Some people like, well, the 880 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,920 ceilings a little low. All right, I don't love the 881 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,200 pick. I'm not going to lie about that, 882 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,280 but I understand the pick. You needed some edge presents. 883 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,680 Obviously, hopefully it's transfers and hopefully he 884 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,640 really is the real deal. I absolutely love what The Jets 885 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,400 did the rest of the night and and I'm not here to, you know, 886 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,840 dump on the Bailey pick. I would have gone Reese or trade 887 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:24,080 out myself, but Bailey should be at at the at the bare minimum. 888 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,280 Good right. Kenyan Siddiq at 16 is a name 889 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,880 that you've heard me saying for a while. 890 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,320 Matter of fact, I had him going to the giants in our mock on The 891 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,160 Jets collected the other night, myself and and Rich Samini and 892 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,840 and Jake Aspen to get Kenyan Siddiq there because at that 893 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,160 point I'm less concerned about all right. 894 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,160 And, and many of you said this and, and most people said this, 895 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,840 just got to get a wide receiver. I get that. 896 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,840 But I'd rather get a guy who I know still vertical. 897 00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,120 I mean, whether he's a wide receiver or a tight end, does it 898 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,880 really matter? I don't think. 899 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,040 And now you get Cooper with the trade, which I'll get to in a 900 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,560 minute, which I love as well. I mean, The Jets offense now 901 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,960 obviously gonna have to find your quarterback, obviously, but 902 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,960 you are now looking at a Jets offense. 903 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,320 Gino will be much better than anything they've ever had, at 904 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,240 least for a while. Freeze Hall, Braylon Allen, all 905 00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:17,600 right, Really good running backroom. 906 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,600 We know that Garrett Wilson. And by the way, Jon Gruden last 907 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,720 night said Garrett Wilson's not a #1 receiver. 908 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,080 John, what are you talking about, dude? 909 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,600 It may not be Jerry Rice. He might not be Megatron. 910 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:34,200 Think about the the the like the junk that he's played with as as 911 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,360 quarterbacks since he got here and think about the production. 912 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,280 I mean, last year he was heard different, but come on, John. 913 00:44:41,720 --> 00:44:43,840 And I don't think that John says stuff for effect, so he must 914 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,240 really believe that. But I couldn't disagree more. 915 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,400 Garrett Wilson's terrific. So you got to get a study. 916 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,400 Garrett Wilson. Now you got AD Mitchell. 917 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,160 All right, I'm not going to go nuts, but I do like him. 918 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,000 We'll see. He got 2 tight ends. 919 00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,040 Mason Taylor's good and reliable and going to get open. 920 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,600 Now you got Kenyan Sadiq and Oh yeah, by the way, now in the 921 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,320 slot, you put a more Cooper. What a trade. 922 00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:09,800 I mean, so Gino Brees, Garrett Wilson AD Mitchell Cooper in the 923 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,480 slot, Taylor and then obviously Siddique at the tight end spot 924 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,080 when they run 2 out there, which they will. 925 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,360 And then Rucker's a good blocker and and Siddiq's a pretty decent 926 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,040 blocker as well. Better blocker than Mason 927 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,280 Taylor. And Oh yeah, by the way, you've 928 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,120 got 2 bookend tackles on the left side in old Lou fashion 929 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,800 new. And then, you know, membut I got 930 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,320 so many names on my Jesus, I'm the day. 931 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,200 The nicknames is ridiculous. All these names in my head right 932 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,600 now. Obviously the right, but why 933 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,520 can't I remember his name or membut on the right side? 934 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:42,720 Thank you. From Missouri. 935 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,360 And so The Jets have a good old line. 936 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,800 And now The Jets. So yeah, it's about presenting 937 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:53,520 much more of a aesthetically pleasing product this year. 938 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,400 You know, defense. You're gonna have to get some 939 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,280 defense today. Couple of good corners out 940 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,400 there. Jets have to go corner or 941 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,040 linebacker. That's what they'll do today. 942 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,480 Obviously in round four, maybe some interior guard play. 943 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:10,920 But like this is all about when they get their next quarterback 944 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,640 and you'd have to think it's going to be next year. 945 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,120 And by the way, you know, Gino's going to throw 20 something 946 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,600 touchdowns, you know, 3738 hundred yards like The Jets 947 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,240 offense. It's it's not saying much. 948 00:46:21,240 --> 00:46:24,520 I understand this, but it's the best Jets offense that that they 949 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:30,120 have had probably since Fitzpatrick, you know, and I 950 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,360 think that this Jets online is better and they've got more 951 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,440 tight end options. Yeah. 952 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,480 So I'd probably say what was that, 20 or 2015 when they won 953 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:41,160 10 games, right, and lost up in Buffalo with Decker and Marshall 954 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,000 and those guys and Fitzpatrick had a big year. 955 00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:48,040 So I love what The Jets did. Like, if Bailey is again, I know 956 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,400 he's going to be good. If Bailey's like the real deal 957 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,000 and some people love him, some people are salivating over him, 958 00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,440 I'm not, but I'm obviously intrigued. 959 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,760 And if I didn't like it, I would tell you like, again, I would 960 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,360 have traded out. But you need somebody to trade 961 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,320 with. But if Bailey really is that 962 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:10,840 guy, Bailey, Deke, Cooper, Jets had a good night. 963 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,920 Jets. I think The Jets had a really 964 00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:17,000 good night and I think that the Giants had a phenomenal night. 965 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,080 There was not one person just based on what we were expecting 966 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,040 one through 4, who had the Giants being in a position 967 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,680 unless they moved up to get Reese from Ohio State. 968 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:32,160 So you go have to get our bell Reese at #5 and you get now we 969 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:36,000 know as an as an offensive lineman at #10 And I was telling 970 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,360 you and I was certainly open to this. 971 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,960 I'm like, I think that there's a chance, not a 5 because I 972 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,760 thought the Giants could go Caleb Downs, maybe Sony Styles 973 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,920 and I knew that receiver would be in play at the OR at least I 974 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,400 thought it would be. But I told you over the last 975 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,160 week or two, maybe even more than that. 976 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,760 Well, no, it I'm sorry. Within the last week with, with, 977 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,720 with Dexter, with the Dexter Lawrence trade at 10. 978 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,640 I'm like, hey, once you do that and once you once you get that 979 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,840 defender that you're going to get at #5 I do think it opens up 980 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,200 a lane to go online at #10 and that's exactly what I did. 981 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,440 I know he's had a little bit of a back issue, but you've got it 982 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,040 at least, you know, until proven otherwise, you've got to trust 983 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,680 the Giants medicals. You got to trust John Horrible, 984 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,520 who obviously was all behind this pic. 985 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,920 So I mean, you get Reese who just jumps off the film and if 986 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,040 he becomes what most people think he's going to become with 987 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,360 some age and maturity and all that stuff, and you got to 988 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:31,720 utilize him properly, obviously. Home run and now the Giants 989 00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:37,240 offensive line with Maui Nova with, with Andrew Thomas, John 990 00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:41,960 Runyon, you know, Illuminor and and even John Michael Schmidt to 991 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,280 a lesser extent. You throw him in there. 992 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,520 All right, now we're cooking a little bit here, cooking a 993 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,360 little bit now. Neighbors is not going to be 994 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,320 neighbors Week 1. We'll see where Cam Scataboo is. 995 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,080 They've got a couple of the tight ends already. 996 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,440 They picked up likely and I thought that was a good move. 997 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,640 And, you know, I mean, if the jet, if the Giants can snag a 998 00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,680 receiver soon, I mean, you know, it's it's all about building 999 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,760 this really, at least with a young quarterback from the 1000 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,800 inside out. That is how good Giant, good 1001 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,240 Giant teams have always had outstanding old lines. 1002 00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:15,160 David Deal and those boys, right. 1003 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,760 And then obviously, you know, you look around the NFL and you 1004 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,600 know, teams that just you can have a great quarterback if your 1005 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,040 old line is Swiss cheese or if your defense is awful like the 1006 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,720 Bengals, it subverts so much what your quarterback could do. 1007 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,760 So I love it. I love what the Giants did. 1008 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:36,560 I am loving what The Jets said. Darren Mooji, he is he he is 1009 00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,360 what I thought he is, you know, because and he's ultimately 1010 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,560 going to get graded on whether or not he gets the quarterback 1011 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,080 and what moves he makes next year. 1012 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,640 And I didn't think he that nobody did that he would tap 1013 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,840 into the 27 draft capital to do something this year. 1014 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,840 But by moving up a couple of the slots this year from the first 1015 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:58,400 pick of round two, a couple from 33 up to 30 to get Cooper, I 1016 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,760 mean this this guy is a slot machine. 1017 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,720 I mean the praise #1 he's on a team that we all watched. 1018 00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:05,960 All right, So that always makes you feel pretty good. 1019 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:11,480 I think that that's that is I think too often the fuel for the 1020 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,200 reaction of a lot of these picks, like when your team draft 1021 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,400 somebody that you don't know, you just associated with being a 1022 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,640 bad pick. He didn't go to Ohio State. 1023 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,960 I didn't go to Michigan, didn't go to USC, didn't go to, you 1024 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,600 know, whatever for LSU, whatever football factory it might be. 1025 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,480 But that means nothing. I mean, really and based, by the 1026 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,760 way, all these opinions that I have right now mean nothing. 1027 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,320 You know, when they actually get on the field and, and do what 1028 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,240 they do and become who they're going to become. 1029 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,400 But last night was a great night for New York football. 1030 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,840 And the crazy thing, too, the only reason the Giants had 1031 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,080 access to this is because the Tennessee Titans. 1032 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,760 I'm not going to crush him for this, but like the Tennessee 1033 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,360 Titans really flipped the board. So let let let's let's get a 1034 00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,640 little national flavor here. Let me at least read this here. 1035 00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,200 What do we got? Major under score, League 99, 1036 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,720 Major League 99. Why does every Commission get 1037 00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:03,600 booted every draft? And for no rules Friday, who is 1038 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,280 your least favorite Sopranos character? 1039 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,800 That's what I mean by no rules. Again, we have no rules. 1040 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,640 We say whatever we want. We do whatever we want whenever 1041 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:13,400 we want to do it in the manner in which we need to do it. 1042 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,960 But yeah, I think maybe a no rules Friday. 1043 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,840 That's a good example. We could just ask me something 1044 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,200 completely out of the ordinary and I'll give you an answer. 1045 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,040 Let me just jot that down so I don't forget. 1046 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:27,960 Least favorite, least favorite Sopranos character? 1047 00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:29,800 And why does the commissioner to get booed? 1048 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,600 Honestly, at this point, to me, it's like a wrestling bit. 1049 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,400 You know, it's like where the crowd just kind of jumps in, I 1050 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,520 don't know, like when they were first booing Goodell, you know, 1051 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,560 whether it was maybe some of the Kaepernick stuff or some of the 1052 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,160 other stuff, I really thought I'm like, man, they, they don't, 1053 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,160 they can't stand this guy. You know, they're just bowing 1054 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:47,720 him. Meanwhile, if he's one of the 1055 00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:49,720 best commissioners out there, I'm not saying he's perfect, but 1056 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,240 and I don't love a lot of the things he's done that compromise 1057 00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:57,640 our viewing habits and forced us to spend more money streaming, 1058 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,880 etcetera. But he has been great for the 1059 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,720 sport in terms of monetizing the brand, right? 1060 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,200 And you know, off the field issues been dialed down. 1061 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:08,960 It's pretty good product here. It's pretty competitive outside 1062 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,040 of some of the bad teams, you don't really know who's going to 1063 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:13,760 win the Super. Look at Seattle, look at Sam 1064 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,360 Darnold. So I think there's a good amount 1065 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,280 of parity. Fiscally, the league is as 1066 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,720 healthy as it's ever been. Salary cap keeps going up, 1067 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,440 253035 million bucks a year. Good Commission, right? 1068 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:29,040 But they do it because it gives them, you know, it's you become 1069 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,320 part of the show. Do I think that they actually 1070 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,120 detest Rodger Goodell? No, you just Boo the 1071 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,520 commissioner like David Stearns would get booed when he would 1072 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,480 come out, you know, for the NBA. That is what it is. 1073 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,440 Manfred doesn't get booed because ML BS draft situation is 1074 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,800 so different, but the yeah, it's not a big deal. 1075 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,160 My least favorite Sopranos character. 1076 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,160 I got to be honest, I was getting tired of the veto veto 1077 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,600 storyline, you know, I mean veto up at a bed and breakfast, you 1078 00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,800 know, hiding, you know, it's you know, and not not because he of 1079 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,800 not because of what was going on with the sexuality. 1080 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,080 I don't mean that. I I just mean I think that 1081 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:10,120 dragged on like enough of Vito, like I never Vito was to Vito 1082 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,200 was to me. Vito was corny. 1083 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,240 I just I never felt this character even, you know, before 1084 00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:16,800 the flip and everything that came out. 1085 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,720 Vito was not a favorite character my and if it didn't go 1086 00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:23,120 on as long as it did, I don't think it would bother me. 1087 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,680 I mean, like Chris Maltesanti's the best. 1088 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,600 Tony's phenomenal, Carmela's great, the kids were awesome. 1089 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,600 Walnuts the man. I love Johnny Sack. 1090 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:35,680 I love Phil. I thought Phil was a good foil. 1091 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,000 Junior. I I I I didn't love Bobby 1092 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,600 Baccala early, but then he definitely, especially when he 1093 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,880 knocked out Tony. I mean the star episode, 1094 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,200 whatever the episode 7 year 7 or 8. 1095 00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,920 That was great. My least favorite. 1096 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,960 Vito's going to get a vote. And I got to be honest with you, 1097 00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,520 I didn't love Janice. Yeah, that's that's. 1098 00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:02,120 Good bar Janice 1000% I got a hot take and it's not that I 1099 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,160 don't like this character because it's like you like this 1100 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,360 character, but the guy who just like I hate it like you watch 1101 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,400 it, you go I hate this guy was Ralph dude. 1102 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,360 Oh, Ralphie was great. I thought he was an awesome. 1103 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,960 Character, He was like an awesome character, but he really 1104 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:20,600 made me like hate him. Like he was the dude on the show 1105 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,560 who I was like he is the definition of evil. 1106 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,640 He well, yes, oh, you know, he was twisted man, no doubt about 1107 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,680 that. But what was the guy with the 1108 00:54:28,720 --> 00:54:30,480 with the opponent there was that Florio. 1109 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,160 What's that name? Right, think I'm saying that. 1110 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,000 Robbie Oh, you got it. It's L If it's it's FL, it's FL. 1111 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,600 He was good. He he had a great purpose there. 1112 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,760 I mean, that's why The Sopranos is The Sopranos. 1113 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,440 And that's why it's as rated as highly as it is and one of the 1114 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:52,200 treasures of TV of all time, because there were very few bad 1115 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,920 characters. But I would say Vito and then I 1116 00:54:54,920 --> 00:55:00,200 would probably say Janice, but but Janice really did have a 1117 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,160 great purpose, like the back and forth with Tony, even the 1118 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,120 relationship with Carmela, you know, always try to the hustle 1119 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,000 and you know, do wrong by her mom to get the money. 1120 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,320 You know, I I would probably say Vito. 1121 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,280 That's my vote at the end of the day, I'm going to go Vito. 1122 00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:19,040 That's a good example of Noble's Friday. 1123 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,120 Get that stuff coming in. All right, so rest of the draft 1124 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,800 here. We got a couple of surprises. 1125 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,920 I mean right away, right, Jeremiah, Love to the Cardinals. 1126 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,200 Listen, I get it. You want to become a really good 1127 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,520 team, go out and get really good players. 1128 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,920 But you know, and I know they were trying to trade out there 1129 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,200 and I don't blame them. I thought they were going to 1130 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,520 take Reese. I wasn't stunned when they took 1131 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:45,560 Love because he is different. I get it, But could have got all 1132 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,600 line there. But that that's why I think they 1133 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,320 would try to trade out like if they would have dropped down a 1134 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:52,320 couple of spots and gotten see Spencer Fano or even what the 1135 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,920 giants did. OK, I think that's that's that's 1136 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,000 a better look for them. Maybe doesn't excite their fans, 1137 00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,120 but certainly, you know, builds the the guts of the team in a 1138 00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,000 way that needs to be built. But he's going to be a blast to 1139 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:05,240 watch. So I'm not going to go nuts 1140 00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:08,120 criticizing that. But really, the first curveball, 1141 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,960 it was Robert Salva's first draft with the Titans. 1142 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,440 And I thought for sure once, once Love went three, I'm like, 1143 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,680 there's no doubt they got to go defense here with Reese, right? 1144 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,440 They have to go defense now. I think if The Jets would have 1145 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:27,600 taken Reese, then I'm almost positive that that Salah and the 1146 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:31,200 Titans would have gone for Bailey, all right, And have 1147 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,600 Jermaine Johnson and Bailey kind of bookend edges. 1148 00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,040 See where that goes. But they didn't and and I like 1149 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,240 Cornell Tate. I don't love the pick, but he's 1150 00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:42,440 obviously a very good player. I thought these are just things 1151 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,360 I'm kind of cherry picking stuff that jumped out. 1152 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,440 I thought the chiefs trading up for the best corner. 1153 00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,280 We talked a lot about Mansour Delane phenomenal player, very 1154 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,080 aggressive, very bold, very good move. 1155 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,040 I thought the Saints were going to go defense. 1156 00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,680 That's that surprised me every time the Saints came up at 8:00 1157 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,480 I whether it was Sonny styles dropping to them who went to the 1158 00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:04,880 commanders. Phenomenal job by the 1159 00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:06,480 commanders. I mean, that's a home run. 1160 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,920 No. Oh, wow, Sony Styles, here's the 1161 00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:09,880 placard. Here you go. 1162 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,360 That's what we're taking like there's nothing to think about 1163 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,040 unless somebody calls you and gives you something wacky in 1164 00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,720 terms of a trade proposal. But I every time the Saints came 1165 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,560 up, whether it was myself and rich and Jake on The Jets 1166 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,000 collective, obviously here on unleashed tweets, whatever. 1167 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,720 I mean, I've been, you know, I don't really put out a mock 1168 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,080 draft. That's not my thing. 1169 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,120 But you know, I'm, I'm following mock drafts and I'm talking 1170 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,520 about the possibilities about the draft for months. 1171 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:35,400 I ought to just start doing it a week before the draft. 1172 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,760 You guys know that. And every time I talk about the 1173 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,320 Saints, it was defense, defense, defense, defense that surprised 1174 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:41,760 me. But I do like it. 1175 00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,280 It still surprised me. Jordan Tyson, I thought, I mean, 1176 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,480 listen, Dallas with that trade moving up the spot from 12:00 to 1177 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:52,440 11:00, get an absolute stud. I thought Caleb Downs would go 5 1178 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,560 to the Giants, even though I love what the Giants did, based 1179 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:59,080 on the way the board went, that is a massive, massive win for 1180 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,880 the Dallas Cowboys. Phenomenal. 1181 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,000 And then I mean, let's face it, the biggest surprise of the 1182 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,920 night, Ty Simpson going 13 to the Rams. 1183 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,840 And there was a lot made of Sean Mcveigh's post wrath reaction 1184 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,600 with less need. I, I got to be honest, I, I 1185 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,640 thought everybody was really missing the mark with that. 1186 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,680 Everybody's like, oh, look at look at Mcveigh's body language. 1187 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,120 Oh, look at the way he's describing his quarterback. 1188 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,400 He looks very disenchanted with the move. 1189 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,400 I didn't get that at all. I really didn't. 1190 00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,280 I think it's very now, I thought for sure they were going wide 1191 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,160 receiver. That's what I absolutely thought 1192 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,520 they were going to do. So, And even if they didn't go 1193 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,160 receiver, I didn't think there was any chance they were taking 1194 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:37,400 Ty Simpson. None. 1195 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,000 Now, I told you, there's no doubt Ty Simpson's going in the 1196 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,000 first round and I even had him going inside the top 20. 1197 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,400 I knew The Jets wouldn't take him. 1198 00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,760 But what's bold? And listen, The funny thing is, 1199 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,880 right, right. So the Rams take him to 13 and 1200 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,240 not that the like, say if Patrick Mahomes would say 35, 1201 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,720 all right, and we're 36 and the she's moved up and they took 1202 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,280 Simpson there. Good stable, winning 1203 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,120 organizations. And this is just the way it 1204 00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,960 goes. It's it's it's not right or 1205 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:07,120 wrong. It is what it is. 1206 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,080 Those good winning, stable organizations that you know, 1207 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:12,880 time and time again show that draft acumen, right? 1208 00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,840 If they would have moved up to say Mahomes is 36 and they would 1209 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,120 have taken Ty Simpson. Wow, look at those chiefs doing 1210 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,400 it again. He'll sit for a year or two. 1211 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,000 But just like Mahomes sat behind Alex Smith, much like the Rams, 1212 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,800 who are a stable, winning organization, very forward 1213 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,640 thinking now that they take Ty Simpson the 13, nobody's 1214 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,280 crushing it. But I promise you, if The Jets 1215 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,080 would have taken him at 16, they would have been railroaded 1216 00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:37,920 because they're The Jets and they haven't earned the benefit 1217 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,320 of the doubt. Or like if the Cleveland Browns, 1218 00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,360 who made a move off a six, if the Browns would have taken Ty 1219 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:47,080 Simpson at six or, you know, scooted down and taking, Oh my 1220 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:48,600 God, the Browns, what are we doing? 1221 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,280 It is what it is. If you're a winner, you get the 1222 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,280 benefit of the doubt. If you're a loser, you get 1223 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:58,880 crushed. I think that outside of, I mean, 1224 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,400 there's really so many things that that I thought went well 1225 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,080 for a lot of teams last night, all right. 1226 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,760 But if I had a zero win on two or three things that I think 1227 01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:15,320 were the best, I would say the Giants recent five, I would say 1228 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,960 Dallas moving up a slot, getting Caleb Downs at 11 and now they 1229 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,840 got a little lucky here. It was a no brainer. 1230 01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,680 But just being in the right spot, sometimes that's the way 1231 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:26,800 it goes. I mean, the Buccaneers getting 1232 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,520 Reuben Bain at 15 is a massive win, massive win. 1233 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:35,000 So, you know, I, I think at last night was fun. 1234 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,720 You know, I love the Sadiq pick for The Jets there. 1235 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,080 I, I, I, you know what the Browns are going to do A.J. 1236 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,560 Brown is going to be dead. Pardon me, the Browns what the 1237 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,680 Eagles will do A.J. Brown will get dealt. 1238 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,160 I know Schefter had that again today. 1239 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,520 And now you got somebody's going to, you know, slide right in 1240 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,440 there. Macon Lemon at #20 good fit for 1241 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,480 Philly. They too get the benefit of the 1242 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,520 doubt and I love Omar Omar Cooper for The Jets. 1243 01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:00,560 I just I just do in that slot, you know, 200 lbs shifty can 1244 01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,280 separate. You could put think of like just 1245 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,320 back to this, think about where like think about what The Jets 1246 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,200 can do concept wise. You could come out. 1247 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,840 I don't know how you're going to stop this. 1248 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,960 I'm I'm not going to go on some ridiculous unhinged, you know, 1249 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:22,120 take on The Jets having some prolific offense, but at the 1250 01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,200 very least it's intriguing and and at the very least it's going 1251 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,720 to be hard to scheme against, right. 1252 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:31,360 So you got Garrett wide, you've got Mitchell wide, you got 1253 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,160 Cooper in the slot. You got Sadiq wherever you want 1254 01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:37,160 a lot, put him in motion, whatever you want to do with 1255 01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:38,920 him. And then, you know, when you 1256 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,080 want to run the double tied ends, you got Mason Taylor who 1257 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,680 can catch it. And then all you by the way, you 1258 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,240 know, because you're going to have to have all these. 1259 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,040 You're going to have to have some nickel and dime coverage 1260 01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,760 because all these Jets players can run. 1261 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,600 Well, yeah, let's audible out of let's audible out of the pass. 1262 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:56,040 Here's Breece Hall off tackle with his offensive line that's 1263 01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,480 going to maul some smaller guys because they got to be able to 1264 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,280 run with all the weapons The Jets are putting out there up 1265 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,560 there's Braylon Allen bang off tackle 13 yards. 1266 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,120 And then when they adjust to that and they come in and they 1267 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,120 they bring the big boys back in, well, now you go vertical. 1268 01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:14,200 I mean, if the jet, like honestly, if The Jets had and 1269 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,560 Gino is a real quarterback, I almost said if they had a real 1270 01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,520 quarterback, he's a real quarterback, he's fine. 1271 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,360 He's going to be much better than anything they've had since. 1272 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,200 I mean, Rodgers had some moments as well, but before Rodgers, 1273 01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:27,760 well over a decade, he's competent. 1274 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,200 He throws a good deep ball. He's accurate. 1275 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,040 He's going to move the sticks. He's not going to whiff on wide 1276 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,640 open passes. You know, he's going to get you 1277 01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,320 out of bad plays. He's going to be a pretty decent 1278 01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,840 leader. And with The Jets online, I 1279 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,320 think it's going to be very stable up front. 1280 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:48,200 But like, imagine if The Jets had like a really good 1281 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,320 quarterback, like really good with these guys. 1282 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,800 Wow. So that's where it starts to 1283 01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,680 turn and and that's the advantage. 1284 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,680 And you could you could thank Joe Douglas for this. 1285 01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,160 Although last year, obviously you pick membered on the right 1286 01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:04,960 side for The Jets from Missouri, because all it was the previous 1287 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:09,880 year that the fact that The Jets entered this draft with a good 1288 01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,640 offensive line and not having and I sent this for a while and 1289 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,600 bit when you have that, now you can start getting the tight end. 1290 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,360 Like you can't justify taking a tight end if you can't block, 1291 01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,080 you know what I mean? So now that you have a good, you 1292 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,280 know, a good old line, now you could do this, but we got a good 1293 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,280 old line. Now we could go out there and 1294 01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,680 trade a few slots in and get a get a slot guy that we really 1295 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:35,720 know can run through, you know, some arm tackles and a shifty 1296 01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,560 and we can use a variety of ways. 1297 01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,480 So it's going to be interesting. It's going to be fun with the 1298 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,520 with Frank Reich and and how they deploy some of these 1299 01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:45,720 weapons here. So fun night. 1300 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,960 Good draft recum at Bryan, NY Bryan, NY, New York 20 NY 1301 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,480 222220. Appreciate that. 1302 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,000 What do we got here? A little something on The Jets, 1303 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:56,760 I believe. No. 1304 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:58,440 Yeah. So easy to bash The Jets. 1305 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,200 Meanwhile, the Mets, the Knicks have just as bad a history. 1306 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,800 The GM of the Knicks never talks and the owner only goes on the 1307 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,040 fan to answer softball questions. 1308 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,840 Listen, I don't need to hear from. 1309 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,840 I don't really care what James Dolan has to say. 1310 01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:13,760 I don't myself. Notorious, right? 1311 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,400 I would like to hear a little bit more from Leon Rose. 1312 01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,920 And and I get that like the Knicks media policy. 1313 01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:22,200 You can get that down, Jay. The the, the Knicks media 1314 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:26,200 policy, it's kind of offensive. Like you have these exorbitant 1315 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:30,120 ticket prices and everything financially and emotionally and 1316 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,320 time wise that the Knicks fan devotes to the Knick. 1317 01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,480 Knick fans, great. We know this place is always 1318 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,880 sold out, always loud. They know the game, they're 1319 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,360 totally into it. And the general manager never 1320 01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,520 ever speaks and never provides rationale as to why he did what 1321 01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,960 he did. Well, if the Knicks get bumped 1322 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:51,480 this series, and they might whenever they get bumped short 1323 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,240 of a championship, which they will, I mean, eventually Leon 1324 01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,680 Rose going to have to going to have to say something because 1325 01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,240 Leon Rose is going to have to hire a new coach. 1326 01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,720 And at the press conference, even though I'm sure it'll be in 1327 01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,680 house and they'll be able to manipulate that like they always 1328 01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,080 do, you know, hopefully gets asked a hard question. 1329 01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,640 Hey, you know the move that you made for Mikhail Bridges? 1330 01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:13,360 You gave up five first round picks. 1331 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,320 He's a stiff, he's soft, he's inconsistent. 1332 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:20,040 He's not the guy he played last night in 21 minutes. 1333 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,000 See, I'm getting wrapped up by the Knicks again. 1334 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,480 They moved on from them. But 21 minutes, it is hard. 1335 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:33,080 If you tried to have a -26 in 21 minutes, that is not easy. 1336 01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,520 If you play 35, it's still hard, but at least it's more 1337 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,920 justifiable. That happens somewhat 1338 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:43,320 commonplace in the NBA -26 point, you know, plus minus in 1339 01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:47,440 21 minutes, no points, Dude, you're a starter on a team 1340 01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,320 that's supposed to get to a championship. 1341 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,680 So yeah, I mean, I whatever, it is what it is. 1342 01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,360 I know that Leon never speaks and it does bother me, but I 1343 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,360 stopped. I stopped banging the drum on 1344 01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:01,360 that because, like, it's wasted energy, you know, and up until 1345 01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:02,840 now. And or, you know, when they 1346 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,160 lose, if they lose, I'll keep the door slightly drawn. 1347 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,560 It would be totally negative. But like, if and when they get 1348 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,880 knocked out of the playoffs here, that will be the time 1349 01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,400 where he will need to say something of substance and give 1350 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,760 us his clear direction. And you know who the new coach 1351 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,640 will be and why the process of hiring Mike Brown was what it 1352 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:25,000 was and all the other stuff. I mean, eventually it's going to 1353 01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:29,080 come to roost, right? All right, Who do we have up on 1354 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:30,720 the phones there? J Rod, what do we got there, 1355 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:31,080 pal? We. 1356 01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:34,480 Got our friend John from Fort Hood, TX 1st. 1357 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:36,560 What up, John? John is on the show. 1358 01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:39,160 What's going on, John? Hey, what's going on BT? 1359 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:40,640 How you doing today? I'm good, brother. 1360 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,640 What's cooking? Not much. 1361 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,280 Hey, I see you getting yourself hyped up on The Jets already. 1362 01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:47,680 Yeah, yeah, yeah. This time it's a little 1363 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,440 justified though. They actually have some real 1364 01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,640 weapons here. Yeah, they picked up some 1365 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:52,680 pieces. We'll see how they do. 1366 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,600 Yeah. Hey, but. 1367 01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:58,400 So in in terms of the draft, you know, going in, I really felt 1368 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,280 like the Giants were in a low no lose situation with the 5th and 1369 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,120 the 10th pick. I was expecting them to pick up 1370 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,760 either styles or or downs at 5:00 because that's what we had 1371 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:10,560 been hearing for months, right? Yep, Definitely not mad at the 1372 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,880 at the Reese pick. I just hope that he works out. 1373 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:18,720 You know, downs was the the sexier pick, but you know, if if 1374 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,400 Reese and and Mawooga like workout definitely beats up the 1375 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,040 line and it protects start and improves the running game. 1376 01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:27,240 Yep. My only issue is my issue with 1377 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,960 last night is I don't understand why neighbors doesn't have the 1378 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,480 awareness to keep his thoughts to himself. 1379 01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,440 Well, no. And he and he and he feels the 1380 01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:40,280 need to go online and verbalize how he's not happy with the 1381 01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,520 pics. And he, you know, he feels like 1382 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,600 they should have replaced Dexter with with somebody else. 1383 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,480 And it's just like, yeah, bro, you're 22 years old. 1384 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,440 Nobody cares about your opinion. You need to be worried about 1385 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,240 getting healthy for Week 1 and helping this team win football 1386 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,200 games. Now coaches and players are 1387 01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,600 going to have to answer questions because you have no 1388 01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:01,760 awareness. Bad look, it's now, by the way, 1389 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,280 just for those two may don't maybe don't know what what 1390 01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,160 happened and and to be fair to believe neighbors you can 1391 01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,360 certainly be rehabbing. It's not like just because he 1392 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,560 went and he gave a little draft analysis doesn't mean he's not 1393 01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:13,280 locked in and try to get healthy. 1394 01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,840 So both things could be true, but it's a bad look. 1395 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,399 You've been around one year, you know, you're you're you're a 1396 01:08:19,399 --> 01:08:22,040 young player who had last year cut short. 1397 01:08:22,359 --> 01:08:24,720 So obviously two years, but you know what I mean, one full year. 1398 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:29,000 And and I think that it's it, it's not that he just popped 1399 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,560 online and said, yo, like, oh, flipped over his phone, his 1400 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,359 phone around said, what the hell are we doing? 1401 01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:34,520 What are we doing? This is awful. 1402 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,319 What are we? He was part of a show and you 1403 01:08:37,359 --> 01:08:40,160 know, he was being honest, but that is not what you want to 1404 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,960 hear from somebody who hasn't won anything in the NFL and is 1405 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:47,040 just getting off the ground. Keep those thoughts to yourself. 1406 01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,279 You want to chime in and a lot of guys do this. 1407 01:08:49,279 --> 01:08:51,040 Hey, with Garrett Wilson, I think did it last night. 1408 01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:53,680 Welcome to New York. You want to load the pic and 1409 01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,080 welcome guys to your team. That's I mean, a lot of guys do 1410 01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:56,920 that. That's great stuff. 1411 01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,359 That's you know, that's social media in 2026 from elite 1412 01:09:00,359 --> 01:09:04,840 neighbors to be that definitive and Aaron Aaron gripe that that 1413 01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:06,960 publicly like there was nothing to interpret. 1414 01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:09,600 He just dumped on the pic. Good luck man. 1415 01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:11,960 I can promise you Harbaugh is going to talk to him about that. 1416 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,359 It's bad luck. Yeah, I agree. 1417 01:09:14,359 --> 01:09:17,520 Harbaugh needs to get in his ear and just let him know, man. 1418 01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,960 Cuz I mean, this goes back to even his his rookie year when he 1419 01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:25,359 was criticizing Dabel with when they were losing and he was 1420 01:09:25,359 --> 01:09:28,080 saying, hey, you know, it's not the quarterback, it's not DJ. 1421 01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,600 He was basically criticizing the offense in his rookie year. 1422 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,200 Yep. So he's definitely a verbal 1423 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:34,439 player, but it's like somebody's got to get, you know, talk to 1424 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:37,720 him like, hey, man, like you got to read the room and understand 1425 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:38,880 when you got to keep your mouth shut. 1426 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:40,920 I'm with you. That's a good point there, John. 1427 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,359 Have a great weekend, man. Shout out, salute to everybody. 1428 01:09:43,359 --> 01:09:46,080 Fort Hood, obviously, thank you very much, guys and men and 1429 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,479 women out there supporting us and and protecting us. 1430 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,720 I appreciate he's but he's part of the Army out there as as John 1431 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:52,680 was telling us, he's in now, a consistent caller. 1432 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:58,240 You know, listen, I think when you have a losing situation, I 1433 01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:01,920 think players kind of feel as if they can kind of say whatever 1434 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:05,240 they want without a lot of repercussions. 1435 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,320 I mean, think about like sauce was popping off a little bit and 1436 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:11,120 you know, Garrett Wilson has had some tweets over nothing like 1437 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:14,520 incredibly inflammatory. But you know, the winning 1438 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,480 franchises, that's generally at a minimum. 1439 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,000 You just don't see it as much. You don't hear it as much. 1440 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,960 And you know, John Harbaugh is obviously the head coach of the 1441 01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:26,400 Giants, but you know, his day-to-day impact has not really 1442 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,640 fully influenced the building yet because they're just 1443 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:30,800 starting to get together now for offseason workouts. 1444 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:32,520 And that message will be communicated. 1445 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,160 And I've got great faith, I think I think Malik Neighbors is 1446 01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,360 a hell of a player. And I think he's a good young 1447 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,600 man who wants to win. I think his thoughts are a 1448 01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:41,680 little misguided. He's certainly entitled to his 1449 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,920 entitled to his opinion. But when you, you know, express 1450 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,440 that opinion, you're now kind of coloring outside the lines. 1451 01:10:48,440 --> 01:10:50,680 And and what is your jurisdiction as a player? 1452 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:56,120 It's not your job to criticize a move that the organization just 1453 01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:59,320 did, particularly when is the new guy in charge And they're 1454 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,360 trying to revoke, reverse this, this losing culture. 1455 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,360 So bad luck, not the end of the world. 1456 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,080 But there is a little history where neighbors does feel as if 1457 01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,600 he's got the freedom to kind of say whatever he wants to say. 1458 01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,920 And I promise you that's going to go away or he's going to go 1459 01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:15,360 away before it's all said and done. 1460 01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:19,760 Who's up next there, J Rod. We have got our friend Blind 1461 01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,920 Beard from the financial district. 1462 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,040 All right, checking in.

And I'm like, I was like, so 1487 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,520 pissed off when I saw that. Crazy posted. 1488 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,280 They made about the dozen, dozen losses and then and then I was 1489 01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:36,600 just like, and then, oh man, me and a couple other Mets fans, we 1490 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,720 just, we just shitting on the Mets the whole, the whole ride 1491 01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,360 back into the city. You know, it was, it was, it was 1492 01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,600 a tough thing. And then Wednesday I went to 1493 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,080 work wearing, wearing my, wearing a White Sox hat because 1494 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,760 I was like, oh man, I got, I got, I got to try something 1495 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,600 different wearing the White Sox hat finally. 1496 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:54,360 White Sox. Why? 1497 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,560 What? What are you in Snooping Dre's 1498 01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,440 old video they used to rock. Yeah, I got the Chrome to the 1499 01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:04,680 side of my White Sox cap. No, no, I, I went to, I went, I 1500 01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,960 went to Chicago from, for my brother's bachelor party and, 1501 01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,640 and I, I, you know, and then we, I just got a White Sox out 1502 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:13,720 there. I got you, baby. 1503 01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:16,320 That's a cool lid. I like it, yeah. 1504 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,280 And I also saw, I guess it was a fight at Citi Field. 1505 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,320 It's a Mets and Twins fans. And thank you for the call. 1506 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:25,000 There it was. It was the security was kicking 1507 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:31,000 someone out who's booing the who's booing the Mets and and 1508 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,000 yelling, you know, F David Stearns and shit like. 1509 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:34,360 That yeah, they can't be doing that. 1510 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,120 I mean, if you yelling that. Thanks for the call, but I 1511 01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,880 appreciate it. Yeah, you got to go, but Twins 1512 01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,920 fans on the train, Twins fans getting kicked out. 1513 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,360 How many Twins fans while they're at the Mets game and 1514 01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,760 make it Twins. I mean, yeah. 1515 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,280 That was a vicious, ruthless tweet. 1516 01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,520 J Rod, do you still have that somewhere in the deck? 1517 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:51,800 I know we put it up the other day. 1518 01:13:54,440 --> 01:13:55,760 If you can find a popping up the Twins. 1519 01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:57,720 Oh, look at this man. And this one. 1520 01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:59,560 They won the first game. Give the Mets credit. 1521 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,680 They came back. They won the next two things you 1522 01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:06,760 could get in a dozen a dozen eggs, a dozen roses, a dozen Met 1523 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,600 losses. My God, that is ruthless here. 1524 01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:12,960 Yikes. Well, you got to look come up 1525 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,360 in. So you lost your next two here. 1526 01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:18,880 And how about, I mean, even when the Mets win, it's not like it's 1527 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,320 not comfortable. I mean, the Grand Slam and Devin 1528 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,880 Williams, who's pitching Brazebon, Devin Williams. 1529 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,560 I mean, it's but a win is a win. The real issue here is Lindor's 1530 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:31,680 going to be out for a long time and Mets were pretty transparent 1531 01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:33,200 about this. I guess I give him credit there. 1532 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,680 Like Mendoza said right away, and I know they're going to have 1533 01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:40,560 some other doctors look at the imaging, but the initial look is 1534 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,680 not favorable. Like they knew right away when 1535 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,520 they looked at Juan Soto's calf injury. 1536 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:46,520 It's basically best case scenario. 1537 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,720 And Mendoza basically said it's the exact opposite. 1538 01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,240 So when he said he's going to be gone for a while, all right, 1539 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,760 Mauricio is going to get a look here, Burchett's going to, you 1540 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,760 know, obviously I decided to play a little short here and 1541 01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,200 there, whatever. But that is not good. 1542 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,600 And you'd have to think if Soto missed 15 games and what Mendoza 1543 01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,120 said the other night is accurate. 1544 01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:09,680 I mean, is, is Francisco Lindor going to miss two months? 1545 01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,680 I mean, because if it's anything longer and it's going to be then 1546 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,120 Soto, well, now you're going to need a rehab. 1547 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:20,360 You know, it seems like he if if you tell me right now over under 1548 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,760 on games, Lindor's going to miss. 1549 01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:28,640 Just based on what the Mets are saying, I would say I think I'm 1550 01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,480 going to have to double Soto. I'm probably going neighborhood 1551 01:15:31,480 --> 01:15:33,960 of 30. I mean, that's that's a lot to 1552 01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,320 ask of a team that's already dug a pretty deep hole. 1553 01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,240 Now they've won a couple of games without Lindor. 1554 01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:39,840 I get that. Or at least there's I know 1555 01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,960 Lindor played half the the game the other night, but they're two 1556 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:46,080 and on with Soto back. But that's that's rough. 1557 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:50,360 You know, they have a bad record and they got a lot of ground to 1558 01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:52,000 make up. Phillies are wrecked too. 1559 01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:53,760 So, you know, you don't have to worry about them right now 1560 01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,880 either. But and it's pretty jumbled 1561 01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,720 National League, as is the American League for the most 1562 01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:00,120 part. That's rough. 1563 01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,000 I mean, it's it's been a rough start for the Mets. 1564 01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:04,360 All right, let me give you this here. 1565 01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:05,520 Get back to the phones in a minute. 1566 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:10,400 So the and I I just keep adding to this and it's not even my 1567 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,080 plan, but every time a Yankee starter takes the baseball, it 1568 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,680 just gets better and better. So right now Yankees have the 1569 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:17,080 best director in the American League. 1570 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,120 All right, the Yankees last six starts. 1571 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,160 By the way, how nice is it? I know the Red Sox are going 1572 01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:23,000 nowhere. They've got thirteen home runs 1573 01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,360 on the year dead last in baseball. 1574 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,880 It's crazy how little power they have. 1575 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,840 My God. But the Yankees last six starts, 1576 01:16:30,480 --> 01:16:33,960 just the pitchers. Schlittler is going back to six 1577 01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:38,840 games ago. 6 innings, no runs, six hits, Apt 6 KS, two walks. 1578 01:16:39,480 --> 01:16:44,440 Stud Will Warren. 7 innings, two runs, 11 KS, No walks. 1579 01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:48,000 The best performance so far. Weathers equally good. 1580 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:53,120 Seven in the third, no runs, eight KS, a walk, phenomenal. 1581 01:16:53,440 --> 01:16:56,600 Louise Hill, Game one in Boston, really good, not a lot of 1582 01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,200 strikeouts, but he put it in play. 1583 01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,520 Got into the 7th inning, 6 in the third, no earned runs. 1584 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:05,120 Max Freed, Game two of the series, 8 innings, no runs, 1585 01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:10,320 phenomenal. 9 KS, two walks and Schlittler last night and a lot 1586 01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:11,480 of energy. You know, him going back to 1587 01:17:11,480 --> 01:17:14,560 Boston, all the nonsense last year, the the death threats, 1588 01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:17,600 social media nonsense. Schlittler, 8 innings, one run, 1589 01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:22,680 one earned, 6K, no walks. And right now, not just the 1590 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:24,960 American League, right now, the Yankees have the number 1 ERA in 1591 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,400 baseball. They're fifth in quality starts 1592 01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:30,080 without Colin Rodon. They're fourth in opposing 1593 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,400 batting average, and they're second and WHIP. 1594 01:17:32,440 --> 01:17:35,160 And oh, yeah, by the way, you want another dose of good news 1595 01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:36,800 here? Garrett Cola, the second rehab 1596 01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:41,080 start last night, threw 52 pitches, went four to third, no 1597 01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,000 walks, 4 strikeouts, and is beginning to ramp it up. 1598 01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:47,240 So, I mean, there's not much to complain about with the Yankees 1599 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:48,400 right now. The pitching has been 1600 01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,800 phenomenal, the OP and nice. I like the approach by belly, 1601 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:54,680 you know, going the other way, a little soft contact. 1602 01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,520 You know that you love to see that you put the ball in play. 1603 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:01,720 Good things happen and you know, see what happens with Volpe. 1604 01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,760 Yankee still need another stick, which I think they'll trade for 1605 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:07,880 Dominguez is ripping it up down on the binders. 1606 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:12,600 I mean, she's Lombard continues to shred minor league pitching 1607 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,680 again, I know Yankee fans are kind of wired to be pissed off 1608 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,480 these last X amount of years at Cashman. 1609 01:18:17,480 --> 01:18:20,720 But right now, you know, right, even Jazz hit a home run last 1610 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:22,560 night. Right now things are pretty 1611 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,640 good, although you know, Jazz, you finally go deep. 1612 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:27,600 It's the first one of the year. You know, you do that when you 1613 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:31,200 hitting third base And I I I'm actually one who defends his 1614 01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:34,320 swag, his style. I think individuality is great. 1615 01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,720 But would you know the room? It's kind of like Lindor a 1616 01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:38,760 couple of games ago, putting on the construction. 1617 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:40,640 The best in the hat. Yeah. 1618 01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:43,440 You hit a home run to an 1112 game losing streak. 1619 01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:44,920 At that point, just read the room. 1620 01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,120 Just react to the situation a little bit. 1621 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,160 Just an ounce of humility. Jazz, You got to do a whole 1622 01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,280 thing in the dugout when you're hitting third base. 1623 01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:56,160 But he finally went yard, so he's only got 49 more to go as 1624 01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:58,800 he goes for 5050. All right, who's up next, Jay? 1625 01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:04,000 We have got our friend St. from London, UK. 1626 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,320 What up St. How you doing? 1627 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:08,600 What's up BT? Can you hear me? 1628 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:14,000 Yes, Sir, I got you. Well, I got A2 pronged question 1629 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:18,400 First, we'll go past the draft. I mean, look, I'm a believer 1630 01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:22,040 having watched The Jets for a very, very long time that the 1631 01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,720 first round is for show and the latter rounds of the DOE. 1632 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,200 So Muji needs. That's right, Sir. 1633 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:29,840 That's. Why Muji needs to earn his 1634 01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,080 money? So I guess my first open-ended 1635 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:37,880 question to you is what do you feel the position that The Jets 1636 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:39,920 need requires the most attention for death? 1637 01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:44,120 And by the way, Yep, Glenn as the head coach in news calling 1638 01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,400 the defense is a quarterback. He's secondary. 1639 01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,200 We had no picks last year. He should know better. 1640 01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,680 So whilst we have pressure coming on the quarterback, we 1641 01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,600 need a blanket secondary to do. I don't want to I don't want to 1642 01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:00,520 load that question. It's all you and then I'll go 1643 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:01,800 with my second one. I got you. 1644 01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,160 I think The Jets are drafted a quarterback today. 1645 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,160 They're they're, you know, Mccoy's couple of guys who are 1646 01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,840 very promising prospects. There's a there's a there's a 1647 01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,760 safety or two that that I thought may have gone late first 1648 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,200 round that did not that they'll have access to. 1649 01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,320 But you got Minka back there. He gave him a couple of bucks 1650 01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,000 guaranteed. I think The Jets, I'd be stunned 1651 01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,560 if they don't go corner today and I believe in round four. 1652 01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:24,800 I think they're going to go interior offensive lineman. 1653 01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,240 Now, if they make a trade and maybe there's also a couple of 1654 01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,360 good, really good interior offensive lineman, maybe they 1655 01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:34,480 mess around and do that today and maybe make some other trade 1656 01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:37,000 and then go corner if they read that board and the board falls 1657 01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,840 properly to them. But there's no doubt the point 1658 01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:45,600 of of emphasis right now needs to be a corner, a linebacker 1659 01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:49,360 that can run and interior guard play on the old line. 1660 01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,680 That's my opinion. Oh, yeah, and I'm feeling that 1661 01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:53,880 opinion. Thanks a lot. 1662 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:58,000 I guess the second and I don't I'm not promoting degeneracy, 1663 01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,600 but look, the people have the never asked me why I drink. 1664 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:05,200 It's because of the New York Knicks, you know, So I I mean, 1665 01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:07,480 haven't watched that. I mean, we should be pummeling 1666 01:21:07,480 --> 01:21:09,880 the Hawks. I know they had an amazing run 1667 01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:11,560 the past two months of the season. 1668 01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,320 They were playing very well, real quick there. 1669 01:21:15,480 --> 01:21:17,360 I don't mean, yeah, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. 1670 01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:20,360 This is not like an anomaly. It's not like the Hawks were 1671 01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:22,800 just kind of petering to the finish line. 1672 01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,640 They made the trade and they went seven and eight to finish 1673 01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,320 the season, or even 9:00 and 8:00 or 11:00 and 10:00. 1674 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,880 Like the Hawks were playing really well. 1675 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:33,760 This is just an extension of who they've been the last month of 1676 01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,840 the season, to be fair. They found that identity, that's 1677 01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:39,680 for sure. And they're beating us by 1. 1678 01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:42,840 I think it's not more or less. That they're just absolutely. 1679 01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:46,800 Crushing us when they were in the first half, obviously, but I 1680 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,000 just think we we can't get out of our own way. 1681 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,960 So I guess my second question to you is, can you give me a single 1682 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:58,360 scintilla of hope that the New York Knicks progress? 1683 01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:02,280 And I don't have to turn up a bottle this weekend or the week 1684 01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:04,400 after, By the way, just the way you say it. 1685 01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,640 I mean, a single scintilla. Can you say that single 1686 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:07,920 scintilla? Say that again. 1687 01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:14,360 Could you give me a single scintilla of hope that we the 1688 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:18,240 New York Knicks progress? Can you please provide a modicum 1689 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,680 of enthusiasm? I love the way you say it, babe. 1690 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,560 And by the way, I'm guessing you're going to bang back a few 1691 01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:26,920 pints anyway out there. It's a Friday in in London, so 1692 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,360 I'm sure you have a little bit, but maybe maybe the Knicks could 1693 01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:30,440 keep you away from the hard stuff. 1694 01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:32,120 Yeah. Thank you for the call. 1695 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,640 Good luck over there. And I love, I mean, we're 1696 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,440 getting calls from London. How amazing is this? 1697 01:22:36,440 --> 01:22:37,920 God bless you, St. Awesome. 1698 01:22:38,440 --> 01:22:43,480 As the brand continues to grow. I think that I mean the 1699 01:22:43,480 --> 01:22:46,920 scintilla of hope would be that they've got a lot of good 1700 01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,440 players. I mean, I I don't think I need 1701 01:22:49,440 --> 01:22:51,480 to really overthink this. I could get into like all the 1702 01:22:51,480 --> 01:22:54,920 schematics and do this and you don't do the pick and roll more, 1703 01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,840 which, by the way, they actually should and well, make this 1704 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,840 defensive adjustment here and, you know, have the rotation 1705 01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,000 change a little bit, which I also believe, like there are 1706 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:05,440 basketball things that I could give you. 1707 01:23:05,440 --> 01:23:08,320 But I think the bottom line St. is that Knicks have a lot of 1708 01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,080 good players. I mean, Jalen Brunson is one of 1709 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,360 the better players in the NBA. Cats, one of the better bigs in 1710 01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:18,640 the NBA, you know and OG as a 3rd you know, option, especially 1711 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,960 when I love ogi. Mean if you had two ogs instead 1712 01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:24,720 of OG and bridges, we wouldn't have these problems here. 1713 01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,920 So my answer to you short and sweet is Knicks have a lot of 1714 01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:29,440 talent now. I don't think they've got enough 1715 01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:31,560 talent to win the championship. I don't think they've got the 1716 01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,440 coach to win the championship and I'm not even sure they've 1717 01:23:34,440 --> 01:23:38,000 got the star player, even though we'd love Jalen to win the 1718 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,200 championship with Brunson being your number one. 1719 01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,440 But at least to get past this round and rally and win three 1720 01:23:43,440 --> 01:23:46,120 games. I mean, that's my answer. 3 of 1721 01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:48,040 the next four games. They got a lot of talent. 1722 01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:49,920 What do you got next? Jay, who's up? 1723 01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:54,520 We've got our friend Frank from Monroe, NJ. 1724 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,040 All right. What's going on there, Frank? 1725 01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:58,480 How are you? Hey, Brandon, how are you? 1726 01:23:58,480 --> 01:24:00,080 Can you hear me? I got you, brother. 1727 01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,160 Yep. What's cooking? 1728 01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:04,320 Yeah. Night. 1729 01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,640 Last night. I'm glad you're happy about the 1730 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:10,720 There we go, but you touched on something before that I want to 1731 01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,720 talk about and it's the young kids not knowing what it's like 1732 01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:19,120 when their teams win around here last year. 1733 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,520 I have a daughter that's 24 years old. 1734 01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:25,400 She's a die hard Yankee. Fan and when and when Soto came 1735 01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,480 back to the stadium, she said that we got to get tickets we 1736 01:24:28,480 --> 01:24:31,560 went to that game the. Point of this story is on the 1737 01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:35,760 way back we are on the D chain. We got off on 42nd St. 1738 01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:39,920 Walk down the street and we were at the Garden when the Knicks. 1739 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,600 Beat the Celtics? Well, the. 1740 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:49,080 Scene outside the Oh my God. And I'm, I'm so glad that my 1741 01:24:49,080 --> 01:24:54,040 daughter got to see that because people need, you know, the young 1742 01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:57,280 fans need to see that. I lived in Vegas for 10 years. 1743 01:24:57,440 --> 01:24:58,240 Where'd you live? What? 1744 01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:00,360 What part? I lived in Green Valley. 1745 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,560 Oh, I love green. I lived in Henderson. 1746 01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,280 Oh yeah? Well, Henderson is Green Valley. 1747 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,240 My daughter went. My daughter went to Green Valley 1748 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,880 High School. A matter of fact hold on Green 1749 01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:13,720 Valley I believe that that was my I believe Green Valley Rd. 1750 01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,640 was my exit at the at the apartment I. 1751 01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:21,760 Had Yep, Yep, well, 2:15. 2:15 And Legacy Golf Course is right 1752 01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:23,480 there, right?

Yeah. 1754 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,800 So all they had out there was was the running rebels, and they 1755 01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,640 stunk. Yes, they did, right. 1756 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:35,720 So so like like we're lucky we have 9 pro sports teams around 1757 01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:40,560 here and when any one of them is doing well, the city is popping. 1758 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:42,200 Yeah, but hold on now, Frank, Hold on. 1759 01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:44,800 Yes and no. I mean when the Islanders, and 1760 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,720 this is no disrespect, we, I know we have 9 teams, but like 1761 01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:49,720 when the Islanders are doing well, the city's not popping 1762 01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,160 well, the Devils, the city's not popping. 1763 01:25:52,440 --> 01:25:56,960 The city pops hardest when the Knicks are legitimate and the 1764 01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:00,120 Yankees and the Mets have teams that think could win the World 1765 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:01,960 Series. Agreed, Agreed. 1766 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,000 But but still, like, even when the Devils and the Islands are 1767 01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,680 winning, if the other teams aren't doing good, then 1768 01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,880 everybody's excited, you know what I'm saying? 1769 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,560 We're lucky to have. We're lucky to have. 1770 01:26:12,680 --> 01:26:15,520 All of that, all right. And and I just wanted to share 1771 01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:19,240 that story with you because the scene outside the garden last 1772 01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:24,720 and and BTI go back to 73 with Clyde. 1773 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,320 Yeah, I didn't see it. You know Earl the Pearl and 1774 01:26:27,480 --> 01:26:30,920 Clyde. The pusher, Bradley, Yeah. 1775 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:32,320 And then? Coming up. 1776 01:26:32,480 --> 01:26:33,080 What? What? 1777 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:34,520 What? You were talking about Riley 1778 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,080 before? I remember when the Knicks gave 1779 01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:40,320 up 75 points. We were pissed off, right with 1780 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:41,720 Riley. You know what I mean? 1781 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:42,600 Oh. Yeah, you're with Patrick. 1782 01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:46,840 The defense was so good. You know, we had Oakley. 1783 01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,360 If you came down the middle, you were in trouble. 1784 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,680 Oakley was going to take you up. We we, we don't play basketball 1785 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:54,360 like that anymore, you know what I mean? 1786 01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:56,880 No, nobody does to be there. Yeah. 1787 01:26:56,880 --> 01:27:00,040 It's not just a mix. The rules don't let you play it 1788 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,320 that way, Frank. Well, well, BT. 1789 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:05,280 Back in the old days, the seven footers played with their back 1790 01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,200 to the back. No, no, I I get that, Frank. 1791 01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:09,480 What I'm saying is the league. And then thank you for the call, 1792 01:27:09,480 --> 01:27:10,760 Frank. I appreciate it, Frank. 1793 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:12,600 Yeah, good job, buddy. Have a great weekend. 1794 01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:14,520 Yeah, man, the league doesn't let you play that way. 1795 01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,320 And what you started to say about the seven footers, I mean 1796 01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:19,160 that that's the European influence here. 1797 01:27:19,480 --> 01:27:22,320 Who the heck was like, I was talking about this at one of my 1798 01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:26,560 one of my Children's Games recently about the difference 1799 01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:30,480 between European, European basketball players and American 1800 01:27:30,480 --> 01:27:33,160 basketball players, Right. And the big difference, many of 1801 01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,440 you know this and this is not to impure the integrity of of of 1802 01:27:36,480 --> 01:27:38,920 all the AAU teams, because I think that that's patently 1803 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:41,080 offensive and inaccurate and unfair. 1804 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:45,120 There are a lot of AAU teams that are well principled and 1805 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,160 well coached and their structure. 1806 01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:50,360 But I think, you know, loosely translated, I think a lot of 1807 01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:53,680 people kind of look at the AAU circuit and you know, the money 1808 01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,520 grabs or just running up and down the court and, you know, no 1809 01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,360 real structure. Everybody jacking up threes, 1810 01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,400 fast breaks. Defense is optional. 1811 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,960 You play 6 games on a Saturday, you play 5 games on a Sunday. 1812 01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:08,800 You don't practice in Europe. And that that's kind of true. 1813 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:10,960 If you're good and you keep winning in Europe, it's the 1814 01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:14,000 exact opposite. In Europe, you practice all week 1815 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:18,160 and you play basically once. Like that's your reward all the 1816 01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:19,680 time. And all the sweat equity that 1817 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,760 you put in the jab steps and just, you know, work in the pick 1818 01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:25,040 and roll, going under the screen, going over the screen, 1819 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:27,680 coming off a pick and, you know, catching the ball and being 1820 01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,160 ready to shoot. You know, dribble penetration, 1821 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:33,440 kick and drive. Like the little things that so 1822 01:28:33,440 --> 01:28:37,160 many of these European players are so well versed in. 1823 01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:39,720 That is through repetition. That's it. 1824 01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,280 That's one of the reasons why I've got such great respect for 1825 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,000 Jaylen Brunson because he's almost got a European game. 1826 01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,680 Because Jaylen Brunson is not coming down the lane and 1827 01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:50,800 cranking one on anybody. Jaylen Brunson is not coming 1828 01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:55,200 down with a 67 Johnson defender on him and just shooting over 1829 01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:56,880 him because he can't. He'll have it shoved down his 1830 01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:58,520 throat because he's 4 inches shorter. 1831 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:02,880 Jaylen Brunson's game, Kelan Brunson's brilliance is 1832 01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:07,760 predicated on the manipulation of angles and spatial awareness 1833 01:29:07,800 --> 01:29:11,360 and intelligence and obviously great shock mate shot making and 1834 01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,360 body control like those fall the ways and 1 footers and floaters, 1835 01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:17,240 you know, so he actually looks like a European. 1836 01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,160 But you know, I, I listen, I get it. 1837 01:29:20,440 --> 01:29:24,080 You get all these bigs who come into professional basketball and 1838 01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,560 they're just much more comfortable with, you know, 1839 01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:29,360 facing up. I mean, was the last time you 1840 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,440 saw somebody just dump the ball into the post? 1841 01:29:31,440 --> 01:29:34,480 Like Patrick would get it or Hakeem would get it or any of 1842 01:29:34,480 --> 01:29:36,040 these other bigs from back in the dates? 1843 01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:39,080 Doesn't happen. You know, it's over. 1844 01:29:39,080 --> 01:29:42,440 So, I mean, we can, we can wax poetic about what it used to be, 1845 01:29:42,440 --> 01:29:46,000 but it doesn't change anything, you know, or who's up next 1846 01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,800 there, Jay, what do we got? We've got Anthony from Long 1847 01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:51,960 Island. All right, let's go out east. 1848 01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:54,680 What up, aunt? What part of Long Island are you 1849 01:29:54,680 --> 01:29:55,640 at? Or or I'm. 1850 01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:58,560 I'm on, I'm in West Islip, West Coast BT. 1851 01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:00,400 All right, there's a there's a Boomers, Yeah. 1852 01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,840 He's he's, he's. We always beat them anyway. 1853 01:30:03,840 --> 01:30:06,080 So you didn't beat Boomer though There's no way you. 1854 01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,000 Guys, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm a little I. 1855 01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:09,880 Don't think you guys beat Boomer in anything because I know 1856 01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:12,680 Boomer. Great pitcher, he was great 1857 01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:14,880 hitter and a great basketball player too. 1858 01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:19,040 So yeah, when Boomer was there, you guys took the LS, so. 1859 01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:23,280 Real quick, so BT one thing been a fan of you for a long time. 1860 01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:27,160 I I just remember listening to you when in 2000, 4, the day 1861 01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:30,680 before game seven of the ALCS, I remember you saying to yourself, 1862 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:33,560 man, you know, I think the Yanks are going to be able to pull 1863 01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:35,280 this out. But Kevin Brown, I don't know if 1864 01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,120 he's going to do it. And I remember thinking, oh, 1865 01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:39,240 God, he might be right. This is think. 1866 01:30:39,480 --> 01:30:41,600 Yeah. And by the way, hold on and and, 1867 01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:45,240 and Javi Vasquez later on that night, you want, you want to let 1868 01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:46,720 not laugh, but you want to really cry. 1869 01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:50,120 You reference that night. So obviously for those who I 1870 01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:51,920 mean, I know you know, but for those who don't know, Yanks are 1871 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:53,800 up 3 zip kicking the shit out of the Red Sox. 1872 01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:55,640 They come back the most epic collapse of all time in 1873 01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:58,200 baseball. And that night, so that was the 1874 01:30:58,200 --> 01:31:00,160 night before that you're referencing when I was doing the 1875 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,000 show. So the next night when they're 1876 01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,920 actually playing the game. Now, what I would do is I would 1877 01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,440 go on after the game and go for like 3-4 hours. 1878 01:31:07,440 --> 01:31:11,320 Matter of fact, that night my program director called me up 1879 01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:13,440 during the commercial, said, hey, if you want to go till 6:00 1880 01:31:13,440 --> 01:31:16,000 AM and literally hand it off to Mike and Mike in the morning, 1881 01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:17,840 you could do it. I said I'm in. 1882 01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:21,280 I said I actually said Mike and Mike and I'll stay on all day, 1883 01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:22,920 but he wasn't having that anyway. 1884 01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:25,560 So I would go in. I had two choices. 1885 01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:27,680 I could sit in my apartment. I lived in Manhattan on the 1886 01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:31,000 Upper West Side, sit in my apartment and jot and do my 1887 01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:34,160 notes like I like I would do for football Sundays or go into the 1888 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:37,440 studio get something to eat, put it on the screen and do my notes 1889 01:31:37,440 --> 01:31:39,400 there. Now I would go into the studio 1890 01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:43,000 because if I did it from home, invariably I would be on the one 1891 01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,160 train at some point and I might miss something so I couldn't be 1892 01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,400 having that Long story short, I actually where is it? 1893 01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:50,640 It's in my man cave. I otherwise I would pull it off 1894 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,920 the wall now to show you I had a picture is when I'm single right 1895 01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:57,480 had a picture of Babe Ruth that'll long time friend of mine 1896 01:31:57,480 --> 01:32:00,680 who I met in Detroit, who I would call my Jewish my Jewish 1897 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:04,680 grandfather great guy anyway really his wife took care of me 1898 01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:09,600 made super just rest in peace love Bob great guy Bobby and he 1899 01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:12,600 gave me this black and white Babe Ruth picture that I've 1900 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,600 always treasured. It's in my man cave now and I 1901 01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,120 had it hanging in my apartment and as I'm walking out of my 1902 01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:19,400 apartment to go to get the one train to get down to 2 Penn 1903 01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:21,920 Station where my station where my radio station was. 1904 01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:25,160 I'm like, I just I don't feel good about this game, even 1905 01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:26,760 though I said I felt good the day before. 1906 01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,960 I take it off the wall. I bring it on the one train with 1907 01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:32,440 me. I'm holding this Babe Ruth. 1908 01:32:32,440 --> 01:32:34,840 I was out of my mouth 20 whatever that thirty. 1909 01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:37,560 I was out of my freaking mind, especially then, and I'm 1910 01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:41,240 carrying this on the one train and I affixed it to the top of 1911 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:47,160 the TV in in the studio at 10:50 ESPN Radio and we got the living 1912 01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:51,760 shit drained out of us, man. But I tried, I tried, I tried 1913 01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:53,560 everything that I can do. But yes. 1914 01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:54,760 So you've been with me for a minute. 1915 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:55,560 Thank you. Buddy, Yeah. 1916 01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:57,880 And I listen and I listen to that, that, that next, that 1917 01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:00,280 after game seven, that was yeah. So I was out. 1918 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:01,920 I was I was locked in. But I actually have a Knicks 1919 01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,120 question, So let me ask you something. 1920 01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:08,000 So the whole season the Knicks are saying, hey, we're going to 1921 01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:09,360 play it. We're going to play cool. 1922 01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:12,440 Mitch Robinson, we're going to give him days off when he's not 1923 01:33:12,440 --> 01:33:14,960 going to play back to backs. We're going to start him off the 1924 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:19,280 season missing the first seven games and then in a pivotal game 1925 01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:24,640 three, he plays 9 minutes and on the last play of the game where 1926 01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:28,200 we need a defensive stop, he's got Deuce McBride and the 1927 01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:31,440 shortest line if you've ever seen and Mitch Robertson nailed 1928 01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:33,400 to the bench. Can you make that make sense? 1929 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:37,040 To me, I think that Mike Brown was awful again last night with 1930 01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:41,520 no adjustments and a ridiculously dumb rotation, much 1931 01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:44,960 like he's done this series and a too many points during the 1932 01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,920 season. Like he's just, he's just a mess 1933 01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:51,120 and he's been a mess, man. I mean, really, I, I know that 1934 01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,440 Anthony, how many times have you heard people say, oh, I could 1935 01:33:54,440 --> 01:33:56,880 win with this team, right? You know how a lot of I could 1936 01:33:56,880 --> 01:34:02,000 win 50I I mean, I actually I kind of believed that I could 1937 01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,000 have won at least 45 with this Knicks team, don't you? 1938 01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:09,400 I mean what that go get 30 Hey Cat, go get 20 Bridges and and 1939 01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,200 OG play defense and hit some threes. 1940 01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:13,720 Hey Deuce when you're healthy, come off the bench and take ten 1941 01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,960 shots and go get 13 points. Mitch play 20 minutes, get 12 1942 01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:20,160 rebounds, 6 offensive, 3 thunks and when they come to foul you 1943 01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:22,520 get rid of the ball. What the Hell's so hard about 1944 01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:24,280 it? And the East stinks too, so they 1945 01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:26,040 were. These were easy wins to. 1946 01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:27,200 Get. I don't think, no, no, I don't 1947 01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:30,360 think it stinks. I think what Nick fans expected 1948 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:33,480 the East to be. They thought it might stink 1949 01:34:33,480 --> 01:34:36,480 because of the Tatum injury and Halliburton going down and maybe 1950 01:34:36,480 --> 01:34:39,480 the Cavs not ready for prime time and the Magic a little 1951 01:34:39,480 --> 01:34:42,240 young and the Hawks not really in consideration at that point. 1952 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,960 The Heat a mess. The East doesn't stink. 1953 01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:48,360 I mean, I believe whomever comes out of the Eastern Conference is 1954 01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:50,240 going to have a chance to win the championship. 1955 01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:53,240 I'm not going to say Thunder in four or Denver in four. 1956 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,200 I, I, I don't feel I could be wrong. 1957 01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:57,560 I think the East is better than you think, and I think it's 1958 01:34:57,560 --> 01:34:58,680 better than a lot of people think. 1959 01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:00,200 But ultimately, we'll find out, right? 1960 01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:02,920 Fair enough. Yeah, man, I good talking to you 1961 01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:05,600 and one one more quick thing on the next I'll make I'll make it 1962 01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:06,440 quick. You good man? 1963 01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:09,560 Yeah, yeah. And so another Mike Brown 1964 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:13,720 situation have for me is that when I knew, and I want to ask 1965 01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:16,440 you what you think about this. I knew when he came in and he 1966 01:35:16,440 --> 01:35:19,560 said, hey, in my offensive system, the five has to 1967 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,520 sacrifice the most. Don't you think that that was an 1968 01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:26,240 issue from day one, when our highest paid player and arguably 1969 01:35:26,240 --> 01:35:29,960 our best or second best player is the guy who has to sacrifice 1970 01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:32,480 the most in? Offense, it's absolutely 1971 01:35:32,480 --> 01:35:33,520 idiotic. I mean it. 1972 01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:35,320 Yes, I do. That's the short answer. 1973 01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:37,160 I agree. That's where you've got to make 1974 01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:39,640 some concessions and that's where you we got to coach around 1975 01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:42,760 what you view like you. You can't be that rigid. 1976 01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:44,320 Thanks for the call, man. I really appreciate. 1977 01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:46,080 Yeah. Thanks for being with me for 1978 01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:48,160 that long. My God, You're referencing stuff 1979 01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:51,880 in 0403. That's an OG right there. 04, 1980 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:53,520 obviously the Red Sox series. Yeah. 1981 01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:56,600 What do you want me to tell you? I mean, the guy who's got to 1982 01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:58,200 make the adjustment is the 7th man. 1983 01:35:58,200 --> 01:35:59,920 I ain't playing that much because we're going to win a 1984 01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:02,240 championship and instead of playing 25 minutes on a shitty 1985 01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:04,720 team, you're going to play 9 minutes on a good team like 1986 01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:06,080 that. That's the adjustment. 1987 01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:08,760 That's the concession. I'll give you another example. 1988 01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:10,400 You look at all these Yankees starters, right? 1989 01:36:10,400 --> 01:36:13,640 I just ran through this before Schlittler, Warren Weathers, 1990 01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:15,800 heal, freed slither again last night. 1991 01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:17,760 That is sixth straight epic starts. 1992 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:20,480 And the Yankees statistically, from a pitching perspective, are 1993 01:36:20,480 --> 01:36:22,720 just crushing it right now. Number one in the array and all 1994 01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:25,800 the other stats I mentioned. But somebody I listen, I don't 1995 01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:29,040 care if these guys do this for the next 20 games, somebody's 1996 01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:31,600 going to the bullpen when Garrett Cole comes back. 1997 01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:35,960 Like that's a concession that is worthy of the situation because 1998 01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:40,400 Garrett Cole's a future Hall of Famer, a Cy Young winner, and 1999 01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:43,000 he's making 30 something, 1030 something, $1,000,000 a year. 2000 01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:44,680 And it doesn't matter what happens. 2001 01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,040 You could have 7 no hitters in a row. 2002 01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:49,960 When Garrett Cole is deemed healthy, Garrett Cole will be in 2003 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:54,120 the rotation. Lock promise guaranteed. 2004 01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:59,640 So whether it's weathers or heal or even Warren, whatever it 2005 01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:02,680 might be concession, you're going to the bullpen because we 2006 01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,440 got a horse coming in that we want and we need. 2007 01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:11,320 That's not that's not congruent to, you know, having your first 2008 01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:13,400 or with certain things and certainly your second best 2009 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:17,040 offensive player standing at the, you know, in the corner or 2010 01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:19,440 just standing, you know, behind the three-point line, hoping he 2011 01:37:19,440 --> 01:37:21,880 gets involved, hoping somebody throws him a bone. 2012 01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:26,520 You know, it, it, it really is. It really is ridiculous, man. 2013 01:37:27,480 --> 01:37:30,000 Let's see here. Shame in the ear. 2014 01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,720 Shame in here. Check it in 7058. 2015 01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:34,840 Full disclosure, my brother-in-law. 2016 01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:36,920 What's up, bro? Wait, you can't, you can't, you 2017 01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:39,080 can't hit me with a super chat, you cheap bastard. 2018 01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:41,480 He's got to take the cheap way out. 2019 01:37:41,480 --> 01:37:44,440 Shame in the ear. All right, Yeah, He is from 2020 01:37:44,440 --> 01:37:47,720 Wichita Falls, which is where they are in Texas, about an hour 2021 01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:50,920 and a half outside of Dallas. Jets going to go get the Wichita 2022 01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:53,640 Falls linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, who, as we all know, 2023 01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:55,880 and Shane, I know, you know, this used to be a quarterback. 2024 01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:58,440 Yeah. I I mean, a lot of Jet fans are 2025 01:37:58,440 --> 01:37:59,840 pining for him. I love him. 2026 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:03,560 His story's amazing. He's about as good as a young 2027 01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,040 man and very deeply rooted in faith. 2028 01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:09,760 Got married young, went from quarterback, so you know, he 2029 01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:12,600 knows the game hits like a Mack truck. 2030 01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:16,000 He's a gamer, but and and if The Jets get him, I'll be pumped. 2031 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,640 And whoever gets him, I'm going to say good move, but I, Jets 2032 01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,680 need a corner. I, I believe more than a 2033 01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:24,640 linebacker. But maybe they can swing another 2034 01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:26,280 trade and maybe get 2 guys tonight. 2035 01:38:26,280 --> 01:38:27,760 I I don't know. But yeah, I love them. 2036 01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:30,520 Cheap bastard. Come on man, those super chat, 2037 01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:34,000 this guy at Avery Summit is G. That's the only one I'm going to 2038 01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:37,480 ask for super chat from you. Is Gino being stable? 2039 01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:40,080 Wait, is Gino being stable going to make it impossible for The 2040 01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:44,120 Jets to get the quarterback they want in 2027 or the three picks 2041 01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:47,520 they have will enable them to move up wherever they want at 2042 01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,280 Avery Summit? Avery, I always checks in 2043 01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:51,280 appreciate you buddy. I've said this for a while. 2044 01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:55,560 I don't need to expand on a too long I understand the dilemma 2045 01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:58,400 like if The Jets were I mean with this offense it's it's not 2046 01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:02,600 completely inconceivable. Now, I'm also bypassing things 2047 01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:05,840 that worry me, like many aspects of The Jets defense and Aaron 2048 01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:09,320 Galen is a head coach. But like, if The Jets went nine 2049 01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:13,080 and eight or 8-9 or even 7 and 10, you know, you're not in that 2050 01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:16,200 1234567 threshold. You're gonna have to move up. 2051 01:39:16,200 --> 01:39:21,360 But they are going to be able to take whatever they want with 2052 01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:26,360 those three first round picks. And you know, really I would say 2053 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:28,840 get what? Do whatever they want. 2054 01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:29,920 I'm just trying to pop something up here. 2055 01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:30,960 That's why I was a little distracted. 2056 01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:32,680 Hang on, I'll say. Hey, Jay, if I just pop 2057 01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:34,360 something up here, you can still see me, right? 2058 01:39:34,440 --> 01:39:35,880 Yeah, wait, what are you popping up? 2059 01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:37,040 No, just something I want to get. 2060 01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:38,680 I want to I. Want to just Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2061 01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:39,480 OK. I didn't know if it was 2062 01:39:39,480 --> 01:39:40,840 interrupting. I didn't think it was, but I 2063 01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:43,280 just want to make sure all right, So I'm looking at it this 2064 01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:49,560 way, right. Let me let me look at maybe this 2065 01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:51,560 is a better way to do it. Let me look at the draft from 2066 01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:55,320 last night, all right, and let me look at all right. 2067 01:39:55,320 --> 01:40:00,880 So so obviously if you had that 7-8 win season, Avery's point is 2068 01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:02,280 on point. You're going to have to hurdle a 2069 01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:05,320 bunch of teams, but solution. You have the draft capital to do 2070 01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:08,000 it, obviously. But the other thing that ties in 2071 01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:12,520 you know who is even? At the top of this draft for 2072 01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:14,120 2020. Now, this is a massive 2073 01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:17,000 projection, but because nobody thought the Raiders would be 2074 01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,440 this bad with Pete Carroll, right, and Gino and Bowers, 2075 01:40:19,440 --> 01:40:20,880 etcetera, and a good running back. 2076 01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:26,400 So you never really know. But who do we anticipate being 2077 01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:30,680 bad and bad enough to be at the top of the draft next year that 2078 01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,120 needs a quarterback? Like there's two questions. 2079 01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,240 Do The Jets have enough capital to move up? 2080 01:40:35,280 --> 01:40:36,800 There's no doubt. Everybody knows that. 2081 01:40:37,040 --> 01:40:38,280 Now, let me project a little bit. 2082 01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:40,080 Let's say the Raiders think again. 2083 01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:42,400 Mendoza gets his head kicked in, even if he's going to be really 2084 01:40:42,400 --> 01:40:44,280 good. Let's say the Raiders think. 2085 01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:45,560 But then I'll take it, a quarterback. 2086 01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:46,760 Don't worry about the Raiders. All right? 2087 01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:48,480 The Jets have the second pick. Don't worry about them. 2088 01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:51,160 The Cardinals, all right? You got to worry about the 2089 01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:53,000 Cardinals. The Cardinals would absolutely 2090 01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,560 take a quarterback. The Titans would not. 2091 01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:57,680 I like Cam Ward. The Giants would not. 2092 01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,600 I love Jackson Dart. The Chiefs obviously moved up 2093 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:01,720 for Mansoor. Delane. 2094 01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:03,040 Love him. Love Mahomes. 2095 01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:06,120 He's not taking him. Jaden Daniels, I know he's been 2096 01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:07,880 a bit banged up. Commanders at 7. 2097 01:41:08,080 --> 01:41:09,160 They're not taking a quarterback. 2098 01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:15,000 I know the Saints like Chuck and I do too, but that's a situation 2099 01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,520 I would say maybe certainly. I mean, if it if it, especially 2100 01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,320 if it's Arch Manning and whose dad played for the Saints, 2101 01:41:21,520 --> 01:41:22,720 that's going to be tough to pass up. 2102 01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:24,040 So they would not trade with you. 2103 01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:26,920 You got to circle them the Browns. 2104 01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:29,080 I mean, I'm I'm not a big shudor Sanders fan. 2105 01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:31,880 I'm not a big shudor Sanders believer, all right. 2106 01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:36,000 But who knows? I mean, he was a Pro Bowler this 2107 01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:40,000 year and and if he's you know, they'll they'll get they'll get 2108 01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:42,520 their final answer on him. You got to worry about the 2109 01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:44,680 Browns taking the quarterback. Giants have another pick. 2110 01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:46,320 Forget about them. Dallas would not take a 2111 01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:50,360 quarterback that high, not with Dak Miami just gave money. 2112 01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:54,080 So they're not doing that. The Rams have Stafford and have 2113 01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:57,520 and just wrapped the Ty Simpson, the Ravens have Lamar. 2114 01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:00,680 I mean, the Bucks love Mayfield and they'll be nowhere near and 2115 01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:01,840 they should. Like he's not going to win a 2116 01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:04,360 championship with Baker, but he's a stud, he's tough, he's a 2117 01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:06,960 leader, he's good. You know, great pick with Ruben 2118 01:42:06,960 --> 01:42:08,600 Bayne last night. They're not going to be in a 2119 01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:10,760 position to get a quarterback, nor would they take one if they 2120 01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:12,560 are. Same with the Lions. 2121 01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:15,560 They're not doing it. Vikings. 2122 01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,000 Vikings could. Yeah, Vikings could, even though 2123 01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:20,320 they just did it a couple years ago with McCarthy. 2124 01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:23,920 I think the Panthers are more and more satisfied with Bryce 2125 01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:26,760 Young and then they get to, I mean, the Steelers obviously 2126 01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,560 could if they had a bad year and they move up. 2127 01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:32,200 So I think that that's part of the calculus as well. 2128 01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:36,160 All right, I just want to throw that out there for you next call 2129 01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:37,080 Jay. What do you have here? 2130 01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:38,840 We need a couple more. Start wrapping things up. 2131 01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:43,360 Matt from Tampa, Maddie from Tampa. 2132 01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,880 Is he a fan of the Ruben Bayne pick? 2133 01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:47,320 I don't even know if he's a Bucks fan. 2134 01:42:47,440 --> 01:42:48,920 What's up, Matt? No, no, no, no. 2135 01:42:49,440 --> 01:42:51,600 How you doing guys? Thank you for taking my call. 2136 01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:53,520 Big fan.

That's from SNY. 2141 01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:06,160 I was wondering where that was from. 2142 01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:08,640 I didn't know if it was from your radio station or like 2143 01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:10,280 that's no, no, the Emmys, fantastic. 2144 01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:12,080 The Emmys. The Emmys for TV? 2145 01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:13,840 No. What I what I got from my radio 2146 01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,480 station was a pink slip that's hanging on the other trophy 2147 01:43:16,480 --> 01:43:21,200 case. I wish you all the best. 2148 01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,680 I hope this takes off and I hope the next this time next year 2149 01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:28,520 you're on Spotify making some cash and enjoying life. 2150 01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:29,920 So we are. I appreciate that. 2151 01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:32,640 We are on Spotify, we are on Apple, not making a lot of cash 2152 01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:34,160 off it yet, but we are download away. 2153 01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:38,160 So if you can't watch the video version, obviously Spotify, 2154 01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:40,560 Apple downloadable, it's cranking out every day. 2155 01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:41,880 Go get it. What's going on, buddy? 2156 01:43:41,880 --> 01:43:44,400 How are you, Matt? I'm doing great. 2157 01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:47,760 So quick two questions one's for no rules Friday. 2158 01:43:49,320 --> 01:43:54,040 So I know we picked up on some great players and Glenn needs to 2159 01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:57,840 win and to keep his job. But how do you see us winning 2160 01:43:57,840 --> 01:44:00,680 enough games for him to keep a job, keeping the team going in 2161 01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:03,400 the right direction, but also like you were just taking on it, 2162 01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:06,360 really getting a good quarterback for next year 2163 01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:09,160 because, you know, I know we have assets, but you know, you 2164 01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:12,480 also need that play or that team to, you know, dance with you. 2165 01:44:12,480 --> 01:44:15,680 That's true. If that, if that, if that, if 2166 01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:17,800 that quarterback isn't there for us and we can't get it. 2167 01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:19,560 What do you see? What do you see? 2168 01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:23,840 The plan for getting maybe a trade or you know, are are we 2169 01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:25,360 pretty much screwed if that's the. 2170 01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:28,280 Case and then no, no, no, I don't mad. 2171 01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:30,360 I don't mean to interrupt you that I don't think The Jets are 2172 01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,760 screwed with anything because number one, at least on paper, 2173 01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:38,040 they're entering 2026 with a competent starting quarterback, 2174 01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:41,000 something they haven't had for a long time #1 so they're not 2175 01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:45,480 screwed there #2 next year's a great quarterback draft. 2176 01:44:45,560 --> 01:44:48,240 The Jets absolutely control the draft board. 2177 01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:52,560 Not screwed there. And even if Gino, let's say you 2178 01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:54,760 get more Raiders Gino than Seattle Gino, right? 2179 01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:56,560 Which I don't think you will, but you say if you do. 2180 01:44:56,840 --> 01:45:00,640 And let's say that The Jets or at a spot because Glenn wins 2181 01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:02,960 just enough to keep his job and they can't move up because the 2182 01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:06,480 Browns want a quarterback or the Vikings or the Cardinals, right? 2183 01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:09,000 They just, they won't make a trade with you #1 There's more 2184 01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:10,920 than one potentially great quarterback, number one. 2185 01:45:10,920 --> 01:45:15,400 But #2 or #3 now you've got to look around the rest of the NFL 2186 01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,520 and if things go the way I think they're going to go offensively 2187 01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:21,800 from a cohesion point of and a personnel point of view, well, 2188 01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:26,000 now you might be able to entice another veteran to say, Get Me 2189 01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:27,760 Out of a situation like Joe Burrow. 2190 01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:31,560 I mean, I, I know that that's easy radio or easy content trade 2191 01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:34,160 for Joe Burrow. But, you know, if he if they 2192 01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:38,000 lose again and the Jet shows some signs and some promise, Joe 2193 01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:39,680 Burrow seems to like the spotlight. 2194 01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:43,080 And Joe Burrow is no dummy. I mean, you look at this Jets 2195 01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:45,040 offensive personnel, it's pretty damn. 2196 01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:46,960 Now he's got good offensive personnel as well. 2197 01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:49,200 And since he it's the defense that stinks. 2198 01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:52,520 But I I think that there's a multitude of options and 2199 01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:55,240 opportunities for The Jets to get their quarterback 2200 01:45:55,440 --> 01:45:57,080 eventually. I don't think they're screwed at 2201 01:45:57,080 --> 01:45:59,200 all. OK, OK, cool. 2202 01:45:59,480 --> 01:46:03,560 And for my No Rules Friday, I think about this a lot as this 2203 01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:08,160 is my top what if in sports as a Yankee fan, I don't know if this 2204 01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:09,960 is yours. You could tell me what yours is. 2205 01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,520 But if you can answer this, when, how often 'cause I, I 2206 01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:16,320 don't know how, if you've ever taken this take on the radio, 2207 01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:21,280 how often do you think about the 94 Yankees, 70 and 43? 2208 01:46:21,560 --> 01:46:23,600 You know, Jimmy Key? Paul O'Neill. 2209 01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:28,080 Oh yeah. You know, yeah, yeah, His last 2210 01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:30,800 this was, that was his last really good chance at post 2211 01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:32,240 season and really doing something. 2212 01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:35,400 Oh no, no, that's not true. No, that's not true. 95 was 2213 01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:37,160 because he hit 417 against Seattle. 2214 01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:38,360 They just close three games straight. 2215 01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,840 But I, I got you. Now listen, I mean, come on. 2216 01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:44,320 I'm, I'm in my early 50s. I'm a husband, I'm a dad. 2217 01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:46,840 I'm busy. I'm not waking up thinking about 2218 01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:49,760 the 94 Yankee. I'd be lying to you if I said 2219 01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:53,440 that. But I I do whenever I talk about 2220 01:46:53,440 --> 01:46:56,640 the Yankees that it becomes a part of the conversation it it's 2221 01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,320 always triggered by the fact that the Yankees were undeniably 2222 01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:01,960 the best team in the American League and the Expos were a 2223 01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:05,480 great team in the NL and that that very well might have been 2224 01:47:05,480 --> 01:47:08,120 Don's best chance to get to the World Series. 2225 01:47:08,440 --> 01:47:10,560 You know, I think more about thanks for the call there, 2226 01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:11,800 Maddie. Appreciate you checking in for 2227 01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:12,920 you. You got it, man. 2228 01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:15,560 I think more about them looking at I'm looking at Maddie Lee's 2229 01:47:15,880 --> 01:47:18,120 jersey that I have framed that I've got to find the new spot 2230 01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:19,800 for. I'll probably bring it back to 2231 01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:21,440 the man cave. If you if you remember, if you 2232 01:47:21,440 --> 01:47:23,760 were here early for the shows, it was behind me. 2233 01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:27,960 I got to get back in the man cave, but the the Mattingly 2234 01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:31,480 thing, like what, what I when I think about my youth for sure, 2235 01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:36,520 you know, when I think about my early inspirations as a player, 2236 01:47:37,320 --> 01:47:39,680 you know how I wanted to comport myself as a player. 2237 01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:43,800 You know, he was no no frills, you know, no low maintenance. 2238 01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:47,280 I mean, I only wish I could have been as good as him, obviously, 2239 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:49,760 but like those other characteristics that that I 2240 01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:52,080 could try to emulate being a hard worker. 2241 01:47:53,040 --> 01:47:55,560 You know, I, I, I picked a great childhood hero. 2242 01:47:55,560 --> 01:47:59,880 I mean, I, I absolutely love the guy and to this day I will still 2243 01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:03,720 every once in a while slap it on YouTube naughty baseball 2244 01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:05,320 highlights. I just can't get enough. 2245 01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:10,880 And I've seen every single one. You know, grand slams, upper 2246 01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:15,280 deck shots when Yankee Stadium was empty off the Red Sox or, 2247 01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:17,840 you know, catching pop ups down the right field line at old 2248 01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:20,800 Tiger Stadium where he's basically in right field. 2249 01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:23,760 We're making a similar play and stopping on a dime and throwing 2250 01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:26,360 A1 hopper to the plate, nailing somebody, tagging up. 2251 01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:29,680 I can still see him making plays in the left field and winning 2252 01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:32,920 the batting title in 84 with A5 hopper against the Tigers. 2253 01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:37,200 You know, or he went, we hit 343 and Dave Winfield for the 2254 01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:38,480 second. I mean, I love the guy. 2255 01:48:38,480 --> 01:48:42,000 I I the the listen, the best compliment that I could give any 2256 01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:47,000 athlete is that like, I of course I wanted to be Don 2257 01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:49,480 Mattingly on, you know, we all have those, those dreams when 2258 01:48:49,480 --> 01:48:52,800 we're kids. But like, I actually patterned 2259 01:48:52,800 --> 01:48:56,640 my like, even the way I would throw the ball sounds insane. 2260 01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:59,880 Even the way I would throw the ball around the infield as a 2261 01:48:59,880 --> 01:49:03,960 first baseman, he would throw it off like 1 foot, you know, kind 2262 01:49:03,960 --> 01:49:07,400 of like, you know, fire. It's a shortstop, you know, and 2263 01:49:07,400 --> 01:49:08,640 he would do something with his glove. 2264 01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:10,920 He would always kind of flip his glove after a play. 2265 01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:13,560 And I would do the same thing. I would always wear the eye 2266 01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:15,880 black, you know, I would do that little shoulder thing. 2267 01:49:15,880 --> 01:49:18,400 Not quite the same swing, but you know, I would give you a 2268 01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:21,320 little little shoulder flap. It's my idol, man. 2269 01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:26,720 I mean, Francesa had Mantle, you know, and that that was my guy. 2270 01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:28,880 So. But I don't think about my I 2271 01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:32,440 think more about probably 95 because of the way they lost and 2272 01:49:32,440 --> 01:49:36,560 how and I went to those games. I was at every playoff game at 2273 01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:40,120 home that year for Mattingly. There's no way I was going to 2274 01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:42,560 miss his playoffs. Matter of fact, I remember going 2275 01:49:42,560 --> 01:49:46,520 to my college coach and saying, Hey, you know, skip and it was 2276 01:49:46,520 --> 01:49:47,960 just it was during the fall season. 2277 01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:52,240 And I'm like, can we, you know, can we end either can we end 2278 01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:54,720 practice early or can we not have practice? 2279 01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:56,720 I forget what it was. You know, a couple of us have 2280 01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:58,240 Yankee tickets. We're going to watch Donnie's 2281 01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:00,600 like, hey, go ahead, go ahead. You know, we just got the car 2282 01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:04,120 and sit down and just put nuts and yeah, I mean, when he went 2283 01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:07,720 yard, it was absolutely punkers. Wow. 2284 01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:09,640 Yeah. I mean, I just. 2285 01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:11,840 I were here with a guy. He's everything that's right 2286 01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:14,440 about baseball, you know, humble. 2287 01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:18,320 And when he was healthy, he was Stan Mutual. 2288 01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:21,160 There's no other way to put it. He was my generation stand. 2289 01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:25,760 There's nobody that can convince me that Stan Mutual was better 2290 01:50:26,440 --> 01:50:28,600 than Mattingly in his prime. I just. 2291 01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:30,440 You could try. It's not having it. 2292 01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:34,800 J Rod, what do you have on the old agenda tonight there, buddy? 2293 01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:36,600 What do we got going? On tonight, what's up? 2294 01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:40,040 I think me and my boy are getting some drinks, so we'll 2295 01:50:40,040 --> 01:50:43,560 see what's up. Other than that though, nothing 2296 01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:46,480 much. I mean, yeah, get some drinks. 2297 01:50:46,480 --> 01:50:49,080 Have a good night. Just have a Good Friday. 2298 01:50:49,080 --> 01:50:50,960 Oh wait, what the hell am I saying? 2299 01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:54,800 What the hell am I saying? Hey, you got a basketball game 2300 01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:56,400 maybe to watch tonight? Yeah. 2301 01:50:56,480 --> 01:50:58,320 Yes. Come on, Jake. 2302 01:50:58,320 --> 01:50:59,720 What am I? I? 2303 01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:01,600 I forgot. I forgot where I was for a 2304 01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:02,200 second. I forgot. 2305 01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:03,560 It's all right. You were covered. 2306 01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:06,360 Let me get, let me and seen. Let me get into character here. 2307 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:09,160 Come on now. Character, come on now. 2308 01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:12,640 No, I mean, I absolutely cannot wait for that Celtics Sixers 2309 01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:15,120 game. That's going to be so, so high. 2310 01:51:16,160 --> 01:51:19,160 So, yeah, very excited for that. It's a good weekend ahead. 2311 01:51:19,160 --> 01:51:23,160 I mean, tomorrow, you know, let's get lit, get Litty, go to 2312 01:51:23,160 --> 01:51:25,720 a, have some fun. There you go. 2313 01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:27,400 Yeah. It's going to rain all day 2314 01:51:27,400 --> 01:51:32,760 tomorrow, going to rain all day, all day and all night, which 2315 01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:35,440 means the entire baseball tournament will be wiped out. 2316 01:51:35,440 --> 01:51:39,120 Matter of fact, tomorrow we were scheduled to have our. 2317 01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:41,880 This is on the rec level, right? We do a nice parade and the kids 2318 01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:44,560 walk around and stuff. Yeah, the older the kids get, 2319 01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:45,920 the less interested they are in doing it. 2320 01:51:45,920 --> 01:51:48,120 But it's still a kick because I coach my daughter's softball 2321 01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:50,120 team. We won last night. 2322 01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:53,320 And, you know, everybody makes a sign and everybody makes a sign. 2323 01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:55,680 And you walk, you walk past the fire department. 2324 01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:57,400 It's cool. And they have music and they 2325 01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:00,120 have a DJ and they have, like, bagels and, you know, coffee and 2326 01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:02,400 Donuts. But they moved it up to tonight. 2327 01:52:02,960 --> 01:52:05,560 And because tomorrow's going to be it's going to literally rain 2328 01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:08,640 all day and all night. So tonight, and I'm I'm gonna 2329 01:52:09,080 --> 01:52:11,480 you know, he's got his team too. He's but he's I'm gonna walk 2330 01:52:11,480 --> 01:52:13,120 with her team. So I've got that tonight. 2331 01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:15,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 2332 01:52:15,080 --> 01:52:17,000 So I'll do that. And then I was looking forward 2333 01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:19,960 to watching him and his boys play baseball tomorrow, but 2334 01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:22,840 we're getting no baseball. And then obviously we got some 2335 01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:27,080 action on Sunday. A lot of NBANFL draft tonight. 2336 01:52:27,080 --> 01:52:29,520 You know, you just never know what Muji like you can't check 2337 01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:32,120 out on The Jets at all. Like I, I got so involved in the 2338 01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:35,840 Knicks stuff really, to be totally honest with you guys, I 2339 01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:38,480 didn't find out about the Cooper pick until 15 minutes after it 2340 01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:40,040 because I was watching the Knicks. 2341 01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:44,520 The Knick post game on MSGI was I was breathing fire after that. 2342 01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:49,040 And I kind of checked out of the draft a little bit once the 2343 01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:51,160 obviously the, The Jets made their pick at 16. 2344 01:52:51,520 --> 01:52:53,160 And then I'm like, God, I'll go back and forth. 2345 01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:55,680 And then I forgot the toggle back because, you know, 2346 01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:58,320 obviously he was on Amazon. And then you have the different, 2347 01:52:58,320 --> 01:53:00,480 you know, different outlets to stream and then back to 2348 01:53:00,480 --> 01:53:03,160 conventional TV. Then I went upstairs. 2349 01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,680 I'm like, let me put on MSU and my guy Han and Wally and 2350 01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:07,640 everybody. And I watched that Mike Brown's 2351 01:53:07,640 --> 01:53:09,960 pathetic press conference. He was his press conference was 2352 01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:12,280 embarrassing last night. He's like, yeah, I told 2353 01:53:12,280 --> 01:53:15,000 everybody it's A7 game series. And that, you know, a lot of 2354 01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:18,680 champions have, you know, I'm not saying we'll win the 2355 01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:20,360 championship. He actually said he's like, I'm 2356 01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:21,720 not saying we're going to win the championship, dude. 2357 01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:24,440 How about you say nothing? How about you zip it? 2358 01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:27,280 How about you be quiet, Dude? I thought you just say, you know 2359 01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:28,880 what? We got to play better. 2360 01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:32,280 We got to play better. Like how last night would have 2361 01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:34,520 been a good night, but he just doesn't have this juice and it's 2362 01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:36,880 not his personality. The way they got their asses 2363 01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:39,760 handed to him in the first half and the way they melted from an 2364 01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:42,600 execution point of view late last night would have been the 2365 01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:45,200 part, especially coming off a loss in Game 2 at home. 2366 01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:50,200 Last night's the perfect night to to have this demeanor. 2367 01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:51,240 You know what, Jay? Why don't you? 2368 01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:54,320 I'm going to be Mike Brown here. All right, so you asked me a 2369 01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:55,200 question about. Yeah. 2370 01:53:55,200 --> 01:53:58,160 Your thoughts, Coach? On on on game three. 2371 01:53:58,160 --> 01:54:00,240 However you want to frame on Mike Brown postgame. 2372 01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:04,200 Knicks lose again. So, MM Brown, yeah, Joe, Joe 2373 01:54:04,200 --> 01:54:07,280 Smith from the Athletic here, you know, what are you, what are 2374 01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:10,200 your thoughts on the on the end of that game right there, Just, 2375 01:54:10,320 --> 01:54:12,680 you know, the game in total, the scope for the rest of the 2376 01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:22,680 series. Honestly, Joe, my thoughts are 2377 01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:27,240 we got to be a lot tougher. We got to be a lot tougher. 2378 01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:31,000 When you wear that Nick uniform with those colors and the 2379 01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:34,360 history of this franchise, it's always been rooted in toughness. 2380 01:54:35,120 --> 01:54:37,640 And I see a lot of guys right now going in different 2381 01:54:37,640 --> 01:54:39,800 directions. So I'll be honest, Joe, it 2382 01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:42,320 doesn't matter what my interpretation of the game was. 2383 01:54:42,840 --> 01:54:45,680 If we don't get our heads out of our asses, we're losing all 2384 01:54:46,280 --> 01:54:49,200 right? And understand this, this is all 2385 01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:51,960 about a championship. We're not trying to go through 2386 01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:55,200 the side door. We have built what I believe is 2387 01:54:55,200 --> 01:55:00,600 a championship team and I can only do so much. 2388 01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:04,400 Those guys in that room, they better wake up because there's 2389 01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:09,080 too many guys on that's in in that room right now who are OK 2390 01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:10,960 with the way that this series is going. 2391 01:55:11,200 --> 01:55:13,800 That's not how championships, that's how champions are built. 2392 01:55:14,480 --> 01:55:16,360 They better look themselves and I got to be better as well. 2393 01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:18,360 Be fair. I got to be better as well, and 2394 01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:21,200 I will be. But when we take the floor game 2395 01:55:21,200 --> 01:55:25,800 four, if we take the floor the same way, we will lose again 2396 01:55:26,360 --> 01:55:28,200 just because we won 50 whatever games. 2397 01:55:28,200 --> 01:55:30,720 There's no assurances here. The Knicks are entitled to 2398 01:55:30,720 --> 01:55:33,520 nothing. The Knicks really are entitled 2399 01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:37,400 to play at least two more games. That's all. 2400 01:55:37,400 --> 01:55:40,400 We're entitled given the schedule and given where we are. 2401 01:55:40,680 --> 01:55:45,040 So it's go time, if it's time to wake up and it is time to start 2402 01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:48,080 playing Nick basketball because what I watched tonight, I don't 2403 01:55:48,080 --> 01:55:50,760 know what the hell that was. Bang. 2404 01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:52,640 Then you walk away. You know what I mean? 2405 01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:56,600 Dude, I'm I'm fired up right now from that. 2406 01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:57,680 Let's. Go. 2407 01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:00,560 You got to ham it up a little bit for the cameras, J Rod, Let 2408 01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:03,080 everybody know you're serious, you know, maybe, maybe take a 2409 01:56:03,080 --> 01:56:06,040 stat sheet and kind of fling it. You know, got to do something, 2410 01:56:06,040 --> 01:56:08,160 Jay. Dude, that was no, that was, 2411 01:56:08,200 --> 01:56:10,480 that was he. That was a great clip right 2412 01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,560 there. Yeah. 2413 01:56:13,160 --> 01:56:15,640 Wait, we got Johnny? Quite not quite unkillable. 2414 01:56:15,640 --> 01:56:17,040 What do I have? What he? 2415 01:56:17,040 --> 01:56:21,360 He went on J Rod, you need a drop when BT starts reminiscing. 2416 01:56:21,480 --> 01:56:23,360 I I agree. I agree. 2417 01:56:23,480 --> 01:56:26,280 What do you, what do you think would be like a good song for 2418 01:56:26,280 --> 01:56:28,120 that? Something that you know, still 2419 01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:31,440 pay, you know still respectful of you and your time and of the 2420 01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:33,400 floor bite that.

It yeah, yeah, I don't, I don't 2422 01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:37,680 even think that it's like a song. 2423 01:56:37,680 --> 01:56:40,880 I think it's just something like back in the day, like, I don't 2424 01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:43,320 know exactly what's everybody. And I think we have to have 2425 01:56:43,320 --> 01:56:48,280 something for a short story made long by BT Like, yeah, we got to 2426 01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:49,680 get this guys.

You're the creative genius 2429 01:56:52,720 --> 01:56:53,960 through the engine behind the show. 2430 01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:56,280 I'm just a talent on the air or the other stuff. 2431 01:56:56,280 --> 01:56:57,920 I I I don't do that. That's you. 2432 01:56:58,560 --> 01:57:00,400 Thanks for taking my call. One last one. 2433 01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:03,120 How much better is your son at baseball than you were at his 2434 01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:05,360 age? Matthew Fan of Doris. 2435 01:57:05,360 --> 01:57:07,160 Want to see that one? He gave a little super chat 2436 01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:09,800 there.

Yeah, You're welcome. 2438 01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:16,920 How much better is he than than than when I was at my age or 2439 01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:18,080 when, I'm sorry, when I was at his age? 2440 01:57:18,080 --> 01:57:20,280 How much better is he? He's without question better. 2441 01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:23,800 I think what he's got to learn is he's got to learn to deal 2442 01:57:23,800 --> 01:57:27,120 with failure better, you know, because baseball is going to 2443 01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:30,720 bring a lot of it. Incredibly intense athlete, 2444 01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:33,240 which I love. Incredibly smart athlete, which 2445 01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:36,280 I love, and talented, just better than me. 2446 01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:40,280 Also a different kind of player. I played shortstop up until I 2447 01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:43,400 was about 13. But you know, he he could be 2448 01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:45,160 there. He, he could be a shortstop his 2449 01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:47,680 entire baseball life. Like I just didn't have the 2450 01:57:47,680 --> 01:57:49,280 quickness. I didn't have that stuff right. 2451 01:57:50,400 --> 01:57:53,080 I think I had a slightly better arm at this age. 2452 01:57:54,840 --> 01:57:57,160 I was going to say I had more power, but he's he's starting to 2453 01:57:57,160 --> 01:57:59,000 put a couple of balls over the fence a little bit. 2454 01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:02,600 Definitely, definitely a superior athlete. 2455 01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:05,120 I mean, whether it's the basketball court or the football 2456 01:58:05,120 --> 01:58:07,320 field, he's just, he's just better. 2457 01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:09,480 Now the difference in my dad says the same thing. 2458 01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:12,560 I remember asked my dad like last year, my hey, how is where 2459 01:58:12,560 --> 01:58:14,880 was I? He's like, not even close. 2460 01:58:15,880 --> 01:58:18,840 But the whole world's changed because there's more 2461 01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:22,480 sophisticated training. So I think a lot, even though I 2462 01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:26,400 played Division 1 and I know for sure he is without a doubt 2463 01:58:26,480 --> 01:58:28,760 better than me. And I want him to be just like I 2464 01:58:28,760 --> 01:58:31,120 want my daughter to be better and more successful at 2465 01:58:31,120 --> 01:58:33,080 everything. That's what you want as a dad. 2466 01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:35,600 If you're a dad and you're hoping that you're better than 2467 01:58:35,600 --> 01:58:37,840 your son as an athlete of your daughter, you're a loser. 2468 01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:41,800 You think the exact opposite. I went, I want them and I love 2469 01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:43,480 Maris. Maris is a great school. 2470 01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:47,280 I want them to aspire for Ivy Leagues if that's in their 2471 01:58:47,280 --> 01:58:50,120 future. I played mid major Division One 2472 01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:53,320 baseball. Aspire to play in the SEC dream, 2473 01:58:53,400 --> 01:59:00,720 you know, but I it's, it's funny watching them play, man, it 2474 01:59:00,880 --> 01:59:02,560 really is. I'll give you an example right 2475 01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:06,160 The so the other night he's playing a game and we really the 2476 01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:10,000 last he asked me about 2-3 weeks ago, J Rod, he's like that. 2477 01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:13,160 I want to start getting up early in the morning now. 2478 01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:16,600 Now he's got like a hitting coach where he once a week and 2479 01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:18,280 and a pitching coach once a week. 2480 01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:20,400 And you know, he still doesn't happen with all these games. 2481 01:59:20,400 --> 01:59:24,640 But and he was he had like a strength training guy. 2482 01:59:24,640 --> 01:59:27,960 He was going to twice a week was great, Bobby, but we had to dial 2483 01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:30,600 that back because of the season. Anyway, he he's locked in, 2484 01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:33,200 right, But he took it to another level and I'm hey, you're old 2485 01:59:33,200 --> 01:59:34,200 enough, man. He just turned 11. 2486 01:59:34,200 --> 01:59:36,520 If you want to be great, you, you got to go get it yourself. 2487 01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:38,240 You know, I put the ball in your hands. 2488 01:59:38,240 --> 01:59:40,240 I thought you had to catch. I thought you had to do some 2489 01:59:40,240 --> 01:59:42,400 stuff. Now it's on you or I put you in 2490 01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:44,320 a good path and God gave you good talents. 2491 01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:49,160 Go do what you got to do. And the other night this, this, 2492 01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:51,400 I'll say where, where I say he's got to learn how to deal with 2493 01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:53,680 the failure stuff. And I think a lot of parents go 2494 01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:56,360 through this, right? So we're playing a game and his 2495 01:59:56,360 --> 02:00:00,000 first step bat, he as a righty hitter, he hits A1 hop off the 2496 02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:02,600 off the right field fence. Now it's right baseball, but 2497 02:00:02,920 --> 02:00:04,880 this is Rex, so I'm not making more of it than it is. 2498 02:00:04,880 --> 02:00:08,200 But it's things that we've worked on, which is the .1 hop 2499 02:00:08,280 --> 02:00:10,440 laser off the right field fence double. 2500 02:00:10,680 --> 02:00:14,240 Next step, bat line drive up the middle one, hop to the center 2501 02:00:14,240 --> 02:00:17,760 fielder right through the box. Next step bat, pulled his hands 2502 02:00:17,760 --> 02:00:20,520 in like a one or two really hard hit. 2503 02:00:21,120 --> 02:00:23,320 It was in the outfield. Third baseman had no chance. 2504 02:00:23,680 --> 02:00:26,720 Base it right, right field, center field, left field, 2505 02:00:26,960 --> 02:00:28,880 everything. When I talk about the Yankees 2506 02:00:28,880 --> 02:00:32,160 and I talk about batting averages and all these things K 2507 02:00:32,160 --> 02:00:34,960 rate like that, that it's it's it's an early extension of what 2508 02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:38,840 I'm talking about like the guys who hit for average or players. 2509 02:00:38,920 --> 02:00:41,480 I'm not even talking about him now that can use foul pole to 2510 02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:43,080 foul pole hit it where it's pitch right. 2511 02:00:43,640 --> 02:00:47,320 So he he did it. I was really proud of him and he 2512 02:00:47,320 --> 02:00:49,000 was pitched. I wanted to get a let him get a 2513 02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:50,960 little work on cuz he's got a he's got to get a feel for his 2514 02:00:50,960 --> 02:00:52,280 change up. It just doesn't have it yet. 2515 02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:56,400 So, and again, it's wreck. But the other team has a couple 2516 02:00:56,400 --> 02:00:59,000 of good hitters, one of whom is a couple of whom is his buddies 2517 02:00:59,000 --> 02:01:02,240 that he plays club ball with. And I called for a change up and 2518 02:01:03,440 --> 02:01:08,120 his buddy hit a rocket off him. And he was so fucking pissed at 2519 02:01:08,120 --> 02:01:13,000 me that I pulled the change up and he allowed that, you know, 2520 02:01:13,000 --> 02:01:17,520 to basically usurp all of the good that he did that night. 2521 02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:19,800 And I'm like, no, that that that's got to be a learning 2522 02:01:19,800 --> 02:01:22,480 moment. Like you even yesterday's like I 2523 02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:24,040 don't know why you called the change up. 2524 02:01:24,040 --> 02:01:26,200 I'm like, all right, did you figure it out then? 2525 02:01:26,560 --> 02:01:29,360 Because I've been calling pitches since you were seven and 2526 02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:32,560 it's worked out pretty well. You know, Zoe hit you change up 2527 02:01:32,560 --> 02:01:34,680 because you change up sucks because you put it right over 2528 02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:36,960 the heart of the plate. Really good hitter. 2529 02:01:36,960 --> 02:01:38,920 And he didn't have your A+ fastball that night. 2530 02:01:38,920 --> 02:01:40,320 So I didn't think you're going to throw it by him. 2531 02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:44,960 That's why they called it. No, it's like, but no, he's he's 2532 02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:46,400 more talented. But what does it mean? 2533 02:01:46,400 --> 02:01:49,360 I mean, you could be more talented than me, but I tell him 2534 02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:50,920 doesn't mean you're going to play D1. 2535 02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:52,360 You better figure you know that's on you. 2536 02:01:52,520 --> 02:01:55,040 You want it. If you want to do it, it's on 2537 02:01:55,040 --> 02:01:57,000 you. So tonight, this is the second 2538 02:01:57,000 --> 02:02:02,080 time this day this week that I got a knock on on our bedroom 2539 02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:04,760 door at 6:45. Let's go in the basement. 2540 02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:07,640 Now he wants now he wants to hit in the morning. 2541 02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:12,920 Little medicine bulwark. Some push ups, some some box 2542 02:02:12,920 --> 02:02:14,920 jumps. Dang, yeah, yeah, yeah. 2543 02:02:14,920 --> 02:02:18,160 I got to get all my stuff bro.

If it was to do anything else 2546 02:02:23,120 --> 02:02:25,240 like my wife's like, oh, you got to get up early and go to the 2547 02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:26,920 store.

But when that door knocked and 2550 02:02:33,040 --> 02:02:35,080 if my daughter did it as well, I'd be able to say, oh, you want 2551 02:02:35,080 --> 02:02:36,400 to go practice?
