homesick and and whatever else. Feeling like he's, uh, you
know back when we did the Freddy Freeman and the Brains,

Freeman at least had a history, so it made sense.

Speaker 4 (01:45):

head to look like and gun dya.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
Man, it's really getting into a very weird space right now.
Oh sure, Zoe, you have to sit see if you're

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Why would be? What are you talking about? This is
how it goes.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay, we're just gonna keep reliving this right wait, wait
till Tuesday comes?

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Why what's Tuesday?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
We relive all the Knicks Pacers playoff matchups going back
to nineteen ninety five.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
All we go through all of them, all the way through.

Speaker 9 (02:55):
So Aggie Miller highlights, Yeah, well I.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Got Zoe's gonna be Spike Lee and hamilby Reggie Miller.
So I figured that out from there that that's gonna
work out pretty much.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Did you see that suit?

Speaker 8 (03:05):
He was wearing at the con Film Festival today. Yeah,
that is a power pitch suit right there.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
That's a suit.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
Right.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
We figure everything out tomorrow's all day.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
It's just gonna be we want we It's gonna be
like a play where you know, here's the Knicks Pacers
in seven acts, right, and we end with last year
and it basically it doesn't end with the end of
the Pacers series. It ends with them hard shot that
I still can't believe. And then it's a voiceover of
after this shot, the Knicks just basically fell apart. Jalin
Brunson got hurt. Oh, Giano Nobi was hurt. Everybody, everybody

(03:35):
was hurt. But we'll see you tomorrow night for Game
one of the twenty twenty five Eastern Conference Final.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
That's how it ends.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
And seeing an applause.

Speaker 8 (03:44):
Yeah, I gotta say though, I mean last if we
rewind to last year and found some of the audio
from that show, you were a broken man. Oh yeah
that in eleven years of working together, like we've been
through a lot of stuff, family stuff, all sorts of
highs lows off his stuff and all all these things
in our industry and the world at large. I don't

(04:05):
know that I've ever read for Your Your Sanity more
than that night, because it was nem hard, it was dolla.
You would have thought this was the guy that they
picked out a section five oh eight, basically a lottery.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
The guy's an Olympic hero.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (04:22):
He is not?

Speaker 4 (04:22):
And they cut stop with that stuff. The guy closed
his eyes put up in it.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
The worst part was after he made it, the look
on his face like I can't believe it. He's like
the little kid that gets his first hit in the
little league and he runs the first base, doesn't what
to do and stand there look at his parents, and
then Halliburton going.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Oh my god, oh my god, I can't believe he
made like Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
That was the worst part. Was not even the best
player on the team thought he was gonna make it.
He thought the series is gonna end right there, He's
gonna miss a three, Brunson's gonna hit it. It's three
nothing Nicks and it's over. No, No, we owe them.
I don't care that they got all this momentum now
because they paid for the guy to go to the
game that had garbage thrown at him. Yeah, no, we
got a little something for you on wins. I want
the game now, I want the game right now. I
want to play that game right now, right now, right now.

Speaker 8 (05:00):
Yeah, a lot of metaphors, analogies, whatever you want to
call it. When you start talking about trash, those are
some trash ass fanatics. Now I can't even call them
fans because you got fans and those were the guys
climbing up the non greased up poles and your loving life,
which really got people upset. Go get a hug, people,

(05:21):
Go get a hug. If it offended your sensibilities that
Knicks fans were celebrating advancing past the second round, go
find some light in your life, you know. Go hug
a dog, Go adopt a dog, Go buy some ice cream,
whatever you need to do.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
Like it really just over.

Speaker 8 (05:37):
The course and watching social media over the weekend. Other
than Caitlin and Reese, which we'll get to, the thing
that was in my timeline with the most was just
people just really mad at Knicks fans for celebrating and
being happy, Like, by god.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
What's wrong with you? Who are you?

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:53):
It happens once every thirty years.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, it's and celebrate It's not It's not like the
Knicks were not like the Knicks are all out in
the middle of their fans, you know, doing shots and
partying like this is the answers in the middle with
a flamethrower. R.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Now we need to.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Talk butts getting fired up?

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Come on now now we're.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Live tonight for the tirack dot Com studios. Tirac dot
Com for over forty years, they've been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
They're shipped fast and free back by free Road, has
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tirect
dot Com is the way tire buying should be. Now,
with today off in the NBA, we're off in the NHL,
we're waiting for tomorrow to kick things off again.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
The biggest NBA.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Story of the day goes around that Pacers fan that
went viral wearing a Halliburton jersey in and out and
around the Madison Square Garden area during the Nicks elimination
of the Boston Celtics in Game six.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Now you've seen the video.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Now, I got a big thing to say about this,
but let me just say this right away.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
You've seen the video.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
That is he's walking and Nick fans are throwing garbage
at it, like they have actual bags of garbage, which
is New York City. You can get pretty sure they
were all throwing.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Throwing bags of garbage at this guy.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
And now it got to the big ending today where
Pat mcfishow. Of course, you know big Pacers fans, they
are had the guy on and they surprised him with
Tyre's Halliburton who invited him to Game four with free tickets. Now,
this is a Pacers fan who lives in New York
that is now getting to go to Game four. Okay,
so this happens. And let me before I get to

(07:37):
a point on this, let me just say this. This
is terrible. I can't believe, like I was embarrassed for
Nicks fans that they're throwing garbage at this guy. I
get that everybody is out of control, partying happy, but
come on, man, I mean, sir, and you know the
guy doesn't look like he's he's backing away from things.
So when I saw the video, I'm like, Okay, there's
a little bit more of a story here. There's a
little bit more of a story here, but absolutely that's awful.

(08:00):
Those fans come on man, what are you doing. You're
you're making things bad for Nick fans everywhere. You're making
everybody look bad. Don't throw garbage at a guy. I mean,
come on, if you're going back and forth and you're
you're you're talking smack with a guy, that's great. But
come on, there's there's I'm one hundred percent I'm saying
there's absolutely no place for that. But but again again

(08:20):
again no place for it.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
And I'm not saying but there's a place for no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
My butt is is from this guy's perspective because in
his interview that he did today, uh, he said that,
you know, he wanted to rep the Pacers and I
got a little too close to the enemy. Here's a
direct quote from Stan Paris. I don't know if I
can go into the mob, but I go close by
and feel the energy. Get ready for the series, make
the series even better. When the Pacers beat the Knicks,

(08:45):
they got me so okay, now again, can't do this right,
bad thing, bad thing, bad, don't do it, don't do it,
don't do it. Dude put on a PACER's jersey and
decided it would be a good idea to walk in
and antagonize a bunch of crazy fans coming out of
Game six where they get out of the second round
and beat the Celtics. Okay, if you want to go

(09:06):
down there and rep and feel the energy, great, but
you gotta make a better decision than that. You gotta
know that, Hey, if I wear my I should have
the right to wear my Pacers jersey anywhere I want
to at any point, right, I should have that. Everybody
should be able to wear whatever they want anywhere. But
you also have to understand that certain times you could
put yourself in a bad position.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
I'm not gonna wear a PACER's jersey and go in.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
A bunch of Knicks fans who just want and start
talking smack with them about how we're gonna win. I'm
not even gonna stand there with that, because who knows
what's gonna like. There's making a smart decision and there's
doing that. I'm not gonna wear a Charger's jersey into
the black hole it's in here and go come on
with me, Herbert Herbert, Come on, Darth Rader, Herbert.

Speaker 9 (09:43):
I mean, there's ten dollars two.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
You just want to see me get beaten up. There's
certain things you do in certain things you don't. When
I saw that, I'm like, Okay, the dude, really you
need to make a better decision than that, Right, you
make a better decision than I'm gonna wear this Pacers
jersey on what you want to go down and feel
the energy? Great, the energy whatever you do. But you
know if you do that, that's not a great decision, right,
And again, you should be able to wear a jersey

(10:07):
whenever you want, wherever you want to.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
But we've all been to games, We've all been in.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Situations where hey, if I'm wearing a jersey of another team,
you don't know what could happen. Right, It's not about you,
It's about the the outside forces that are Yeah, you
don't know how they're gonna feel coming out of a game,
especially if you're there to antagonize them. Right, I want
to go down there, but we beat the Knicks. I'm like, Okay, dude,
I think there could have been a better decision made
right there.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
For that.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
It sounds like I'm victim blaming, but I'm not saying. Again,
you should be able to do that whenever you want to,
But understand that that's not what the world is like
and so a certain situation like this, you know, going
into that, you know you're walking into the belly of
the beast. It's like, okay, get that things could go
sideways pretty pretty easy on you for this. So make
a make a little bit better decision for that. That's

(10:51):
all I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (10:51):
Yeah, I think I understand as a man who's had
trash thrown at in that an opposing venue before the
good folks have Carver Hawkeye Arena.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
That was.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
That was Frost Western Road wins.

Speaker 8 (11:04):
I'd had tickets who are in the family section, and
at the end of a game, as we're dribbling it out,
it's like all right, standing and applaud and instead giant
foil ball, which meant those people in the back ate
a lot of damn hot dogs.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
But all of that to say, no, I can't that much.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
About Northwestern basketball.

Speaker 8 (11:21):
Really well, it was Northwestern Iowa, Iowa at home.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
Okay, yeah, that's a big deal, man.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
It was still Northwestern basketball. Okay, sure, okay, I was
it the year you went to the tournament?

Speaker 5 (11:32):
No? Oh, okay, we didn't go to the tournament when
I was there.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Okay, this is another twenty three year.

Speaker 8 (11:40):
Yeah, no, this was just a bad year. But we
went into Carver Hawk Arena. This is one of the
anti years. But anyway, Uh, the point being that that
you know experienced it. But you know, I anticipated guys
screaming at me in some f bombs. I didn't think
the foil ball would come at my head. But in
this case, in this day and age, you know what
the first thing I looked for? All Right, I can't

(12:00):
wait to see what his social media videographer got out
of this whole thing.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
That's how cynical I am of it all.

Speaker 8 (12:07):
It's like, no, he went and he was looking for
cloud or whatever, which maybe he was. But and not
to victim blame because certainly, you know, bags of trash,
because that's the other thing folks have to recognize. If
you've never been to New York City, maybe you've seen
enough episodes of your favorite police cereal or something to
see it. But at the end of the night, the
restaurants are putting the bags of trash, you know, in

(12:29):
front restaurants on the street, right, yeah, exactly, how do
you think they get so big extra sustenance as you
roll through? But it's not that they're hidden in the
back or anything right where you have giant dumpsters and nope,
it's straight out to the curb for pickup on the overnight.
So that's why these guys would have bags of trash.

(12:51):
Just to explain that away for folks that may have
missed that. But yeah, certainly going into the belly of
the beast. Plenty of NFL stadiums where it's really advisable,
probably not to you know, you go to Chicago Green
Bay games, probably not wise anything raid or related.

Speaker 5 (13:07):
The reputation is there.

Speaker 8 (13:08):
Gotta call it what it is and go Philadelphia, and
certainly go New York, Go New York.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Go particularly here.

Speaker 8 (13:15):
Man, you're gonna be overserved, and you're coming out celebrating
a victory. You know the fact that all he got
was a little bit of trash putting his way, he
ends up winning. In this man gets a lot of publicity,
gets some free tickets. Tyrese Halliburton knows his name now
and is inviting him to a game. I have you
thought about putting on some you know, opposing jerseys now Smith,

(13:36):
so you can get some free stuff. Oh, I didn't
think about that, you know, because the get ends like
eight hundred bucks for the yeah, for these games to
get off the jump. I mean yeah, it's one hundred
and seventy at okay, see eight fifty for game one
of the of the Knicks.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
So the Knicks are here to save the NBA playoffs,
Mike Carmen, They're here to save the NBA playoffs. Are
those the ex Knicks or uh, look it's it's a
Knicks Final four Nicks their biggest rival in the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Hartenstein, Randall Stevincenzo.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Maybe maybe the twenty twenty four to twenty five Knicks. No,
maybe last year's team was better than this year's team,
considering everybody that was on the team is in the
Final four.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, but now you sew it.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, you know, I don't know that I could be
much worse than what's going on right now. And that's
not giving myself any credit. But this is talking about it. Rider,
this ship now the joke until the GM gets five.
I'll just tell you, like fat him every night against
your oils every night, you'll make a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
I mean this was the tea.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
I mean, Jay, this was the like I look at
at the Dolphins right, I look back to the I
meet Dolphins last year, a year ago, A little bit
over a year ago. At this time, it was they
were the future of the NFL. They were fast, you
had to get a playoff game at home. They played
that really cold game against the Chiefs, and a year later,
it's like, nope, that era is over when we're starting
over and we're basically done in Nunos.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
The future ist.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
I kind of feel that the same way with the Orioles.
A year ago was everything is awesome, we're young, we're
going to dominate, and now a year later it's it's
got to be blown up because we're fifteen to thirty
in last place.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Well, they're also fifty seven and seventy seven since June
twenty first of last year. I was at the game
they beat the I was up there with my little guy.
They'd beat the Yankee seventeen to five, and a businessman
specially to take three out of four in the Bronx
beat the crap out of Luis Hill, chased him in
like the third inning, like literally everybody had a home run.

(17:46):
They were tied with the Yankees with the best winning
percentage in baseball. And I sat there and I watched
them celebrate on the field in the Bronx and my stomach.
I started to feel like I was going to throw
a ball over myself, and I'm like I had a
six ceiling on on my radio show and went crazy
the next day and said, if this team doesn't get
up his ass and give them a lot of help,
now we're going to look back on this as the

(18:06):
high watermark of this team, because they're so naive, and
they're so young, and Gunner's not going to hit one
hundred and twenty five home runs this year, and Adlee's
not going to keep this up, and if they don't
get more real players around them, they can't just live
and die on three run home runs. And sure enough,
a year later, they're fifty seven and seventy seven. Since then,

(18:26):
only one team has a worst winning percentage at home
in Major League Baseball then the Orioles since June twentieth
last year, and that's the Chicago White Sox. Now, if
the Rockies come back and lose tonight, and boy I
hope so, because I'm on the Phillies, then the Rockies
would also fall behind the oriol So they'd only be
the third worst at home. If you include their playoff losses,

(18:50):
they're twenty seven and forty at home. In their last
sixty seven games, they scored three runs, or less than
exactly fifty of their last one hundred and thirty six
paced putts. Uh No, they're a joke. They're a joke.
They clearly low IQ baseball if they don't know how
to develop players. Their minor league system is highly highly

(19:11):
highly overhyped. And the GM's a fraud. So I mean,
until the billionaire who bought the team figures it out,
we're just all wasting each other's time. There.

Speaker 8 (19:20):
It is the parlay every night, Orioles, White Sox, Rockies,
all to lose.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well, I'm telling you there are worse ways to go.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
No, that's true.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
I've certainly spent money worse just earlier today. All right,
so let's uh, let's get into the brass tacks of
it all, toush push.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
Is it ultimately going to get out lagged?

Speaker 10 (19:41):
I mean, it's seems like they keep tweaking this because
they think if they didn't get you know, that they
might be able to get enough vote to state if
they get it worded the right.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Way, and if it really ends up eliminating any of
these ruggy style you know movie scrums, which certainly the
Dell and the powers the Park avenue seemed to think
it's on slightly. And I don't know if it was
the michigas you know, with Washington there in that game
and you know, almost giving a team a touchdown, if

(20:12):
you know, they thought that was a bridge too far.
But clearly the powers that be don't really love this,
and they can hide behind the you know, help and
safety thing or whatever. So when they push something back
like this and they move it from the big league
meeting to a smaller league meeting and they tabled it
but don't scrap it, usually indicates that the league off

(20:35):
the stakes that might be able to get this done.
That five them time to make some mark, you know,
horse trading, and you do this, we'll do that for
you down the line, and you know, you stretch our back,
both stretchers. So we'll see if it Bull gets his way,
but I wouldn't bet against it.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
I now elsewhere for the Eagles, this is this is
a great day because Nick Sirianni gets a huge contract extension.
When it looked like Week four last year, he could
have been fired right because they started up poorly. There's
so many bad things going on Was it that close?
Like the Eagles started too and two they nearly lot,
Like they could have lost to the Saints that that game,
then they would have been one in three. Like was

(21:11):
it really close for Sirianni early part of last year?
Like was was that doom and gloom that close?

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well, you know what I mean, it's kind of like
are you kind of pregnant? You know, like I don't
know what you know what I mean when you're close?
Like they obviously had a horrible.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
They had a horrible finish to the previous year. The
bottom fell out. Uh, there were some changes made to
his staff that I don't know that he was necessarily
one hundred percent the genesis of you know, I think
there are some things strongly.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Suggested to him. He I believe alertly realized the gravity
of the situation and didn't present a new pushback and
it ended up sticking, and it stuck pretty quickly. The
defense though, Fangio is a very different style and a
very different type of communicator, and so it was going

(22:05):
to take a little bit of time today. Had that
dragged out, you know, a few more weeks, and had
they not made some of the changes they made when
they made it and reshuffled that secondary et cetera. You
know what I mean. I can't I can't say for sure,
but certainly it's not revision its history to say that
Nick Sirianni came into that season with a renewed sort

(22:29):
of scrutiny upon him, not just locally but nationally. But yeah,
I mean, the league moves them with serious ways. Right now,
it looks like he's certainly going to be there for
a long time. Certainly ended up being there after, you know,
finally actually breaking that Super Bowl jinks. Initially, they've got

(22:52):
a great roster. I still think that division is pretty
nis and they now I think reached a point where
like the quarterback was comfortable with winning games and not
having to win the box score forever, you know. But
then you wonder if the organization okay with that, because boy,
they're paying him a lot more money now, and you know,

(23:12):
is that is that okay if he only attempts eighteen
passes this week or only completes you know, thirteen the
following week. And the reality is, I think everybody understands that, like,
none of that matters, and when it's validated with the
Super Bowl and then you know, people start getting extensions
off of that. I just think it just sort of

(23:33):
shows that they're all, you know, everybody will if we
do this the right way, everybody's going to get theirs.
And I think that quarterback is a special leader, and
he's even more empowered now with what they did to
the Chiefs. So I think Sirianni is gonna he won't
be there for a while and don't win a lot
of games.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Let's go to the other side of the country.

Speaker 8 (23:53):
Finally, the big contract signed in San Francisco, brock Pirty
super Bowl appearance for him, and there's a lot of
hand ringing because he's seven five year extension, no trade
clause and reworking is I got to think part of
the rationale of getting it done now Jason was to
avoid the lunacy that they had last offseason with contracts

(24:14):
really taking over the entire world.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, and look, he you know, did he want sixty again?

Speaker 10 (24:21):
He could?

Speaker 3 (24:21):
He make the case, and I think a lot of
people might have been in his ear saying, you know,
you should be getting with Dak Prescott got But ultimately
it's about what makes him happy. And I mean that
kind of does feel about right to me, And we'll
have to see if this Dak thing becomes the new
outlier in the way that did Deshaun. Watch the guarantees

(24:44):
work for a while. You know, I wonder about Dak
aav at least for now. But look, I mean, the
guarantees are legitimate. He's he's getting paid like a top
ten quarterback. And now, though, like it does change because
that team's in sort of transition already, and I think

(25:05):
a year from now they're going to be even more transition,
and it's going to be about him making nuther people
better and him not having to be along for the ride.
And you know, the mister irrelevant whom everybody's really really
rooting for, and everybody's got a lot of slack and
this or that. It's like, no, that's a team that's
come short of a Super Bowl aspiration, expect a lot
of money, and now they're spending more on you than

(25:26):
they ever have anybody else. So that's a very different
dynamic and I'll be interested to see how that plays out.
Just to me, nothing really changes if they get Trent
Williams to play fourteen fifteen sixteen games and have them
healthy in a postseason. If they get there, then they
have a fighting chance. And if he goes down and

(25:46):
that offensive line is middling, then I think they're in
a lot of trouble.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
NFL insider Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith Mike
Carmon Lot from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right,
we saw this great quote today from Trevor Lawrence to
talking about Trevor Trevor Travis Hunter. He's got a lot
of juice, can run all day, a lot of motor,
a lot of energy. Hunter spent most of his time
working with the offense, but he was with the defense
over the last couple of days.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
What what do you think he does?

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Jay, as far as percentage of plays offense, percentage of plays.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Defense, how do you think it ends up.

Speaker 11 (26:18):
For Him's an offensive minor head coast right, and he's
there to prop up the quarterback and save the quarterback
and make the quarterback look like, you know, he's what
he's was supposed to have been.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Or at least an approximation of that. So and then
they picked you know, not only are they picking really high,
but they move up a whole bunch and some would say,
you know, overpay in order to get this player. So
I have a hell of a hard time thinking he's
not going to be someone who they're trying to get
the football into his hands when they possess the football.
So I think that you'll probably start there and you

(26:53):
see how that goes. And you know, he's got the
ball skills to play on the other side of the ball,
and you know he stands that, and I'm sure he's
getting mental reps and spends time with the DBS and
their meetings as well. But on field, I think he's
trying to build up chemistry between him and him and
his quarterback. Right, You're trying to get him as folded

(27:14):
in to that as possible, because that's that's what the
head coach is going to be graded on first, even
before wins or losses, is going to be like, well,
if he is this McVeigh quarterback guru thing, then let's
see what the hell he does with Trevor Lawrence. So
I have a hard time thinking that, you know, the
first pick of that regime is going to be spending
more time on defense than offense.

Speaker 8 (27:35):
All right, last one for you real quick, since Jason
brought it up at the start about the Miami Dolphins.
They're foicing them upon us with five nationally televised games.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
H riddlely that's why.

Speaker 8 (27:47):
And take anything out of the schedule release as you
started looking at.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Your over unders, Yeah, I didn't. I didn't change power
rankings for me a whole lot. It really didn't shift much.
You know. There wasn't any team that I thought got
closed to a degree that it affected how I handicap them,
you know, for better really or for worse. I mean,
these things can get moved around now, you know, like

(28:12):
we're in a different era with what they can, you know,
flop out and flop in in terms of their scheduling
and flex and all that. So I don't really get
too caught up in that as well, because they're in
the business and making money. If they they all of
a sudden decided that team is not gonna make them
as much money as somebody else in that spot, you know,
it's going to get slipped.

Speaker 10 (28:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
I don't know. They're not particularly glamorous anymore, you know,
I don't think they're particularly interesting, to be honest with
you don't. They're you know, teams that are marketly worse
than them and a talent. From a talent standpoint, they'll
beat most of the time. And the team, you know,
when they're when they're not favored, they're probably going to
get whacked around. And if the weather is any factor
at all, then they could get really embarrassed, especially on

(28:58):
the road. I mean it is what it is. They'll
they'll win some games early because of the intense home
field that they have with the heat of humidity, and
then that evens out as the season goes along. Yeah,
I don't I don't much fancy him.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
He's on X at Jason Locke and four Odyssey Washington
Post one oh five seven the fan in Baltimore end
in the Orioles dugout managing the for the season.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Jay, thanks a bunch.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
We will talk to you next week and hopefully we're
talking about a uh Syracuse University Lacrosse championship.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well this is I gotta be sureful what I say
around here, but I'm sorry, go Terps.

Speaker 5 (29:41):
That'd be a tough one for him in Maryland. Cuntry
right there.

trending From a man who is back from vacation. He
spent the entire last week making big videos outside of

(30:07):
Madison Square Gardens celebrating the next victory it is Steve Desager.

Speaker 9 (30:12):
Wow, what a vacation that would be.

Speaker 7 (30:16):
Or The Baltimore Orioles have lost their seventh game in
a row. They're fifteen and thirty one now lost at
Milwaukee five to four tonight, giving up a run in
the bottom of the eighth. William Contreras four for four
two RBIs, including the game winner. Seattle got a grand
slam in the eighth from Julio Rodriguez and won five
to one at the White Sox, who've lost five in

(30:36):
a row. The Cleveland game at Minnesota has been suspended
by rain after three innings, Twins lead two to one.
It'll continue on Tuesday. There was a rain delay of
about an hour early in the game. Another after the
third inning. Sonny Gray was sixth. Great innings on the
Hill at Saint Louis, they've returned after a rain delay
bottom of the seventh, and the Cardinals have added on
It's eleven to one over Detroit in the top of

(30:59):
the eighth. Ckies are holding on to a lead against
the Phillies three to two. In the bottom of the
seventh inning, Royals at Giants scoreless. In the bottom of
the fourth, Arizona out to a three to nine in
lead on the Dodgers bottom of the second. Earlier victories
for Boston and Houston, Cincinnati one it's fifth straight. Miami
with two runs in the bottom of the ninth edged
the Cubs eight to seven. The Philadelphia Eagles gave coach

(31:21):
Nick Sirianni a contract extension. He's made the playoffs all
four years as a head coach, including last season Super
Bowl win. Former Jets general manager Joe Douglas will have
a senior scouting role with the Eagles, where he used
to work. The forty nine Ers gave linebacker Fred Warner
a three year extension worth almost fifty seven million dollars guaranteed,
and they signed kicker Greg Joseph. Officially, San Francisco had

(31:43):
already given contract extensions to quarterback Brock Purty and tight
end George Kittle, former San Francisco tight end Brent Jones
will go into the forty nine Ers Hall of Fame,
and Tampa Bay defensive end Simeon Rice will go into
the Bucks Ring of Honor. Brown's quarterback Shador Sanders signed
his rookie contract, as did Chargers first round running back
Omari and Hampton and Green Bay wide receiver Matthew Golden.

(32:06):
And this year's USC Notre Dame game is the last
one on their current contract, and SI says SC has
only offered a one year extension for now. The Irish
already had that new twelve year deal to play Clemson
on their schedule that'll start in twenty twenty seven. USC
is reportedly reluctant to get into a long term deal
with the Irish due to uncertainty about the college football

(32:28):
playoff format.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Back to you, due to the fact that Lincoln Riley
is our head coach. We really are a little hesitant
about getting into this log now. If we get out
of this in a year from him, if we could
find a way, hey, then we want to play you guys.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
It will be good.

Speaker 9 (32:41):
That's right, because eight and six can still get us
into the new.

Speaker 7 (32:43):
Playoffs, right, why would we want to play the Irish
Lincoln Riley not a dog?

Speaker 8 (32:50):
No, Hey, let me ask you one question here though. Guys,
do you think that Jason's interaction with Joe Douglas forced
him back into a.

Speaker 9 (32:58):
Job with the Eagles kept him off the air?

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Yes, it could have been. It could have been. Hey,
I can't.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I can't do any more bits with that lunatic. I've
got to get back into football. I gotta go back
where I can't do that.

Speaker 7 (33:07):
Well, he'll have less awkward adventures, I think in the
scouting role.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, I think you're probably right. No one will walk
and ask if it's awkward that I'm wearing a Jets
jersey in front of him.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
I don't think I have to worry about that.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
But you never know.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
You never know.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
It never.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
Night in a row.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Its huge error against the Yankees yesterday.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
No boy, yeah, there it is Red Sox TV on
the call.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
The Mets lose again two out of three to the
Yankees this weekend. Lose the Red Sox tonight. But but,
and yes, I know Won Soto's not hustling. Second day
in a row. We had a hit where he didn't hustle.
It went off the Green Monster tonight and he didn't
hustle out of the box. Gonna had a double.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
I am sure.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Carlos Mendoza will talk to him about this. But this
is a story, you say, Jase, you're enjoying the story. No,
I'm not enjoying the Mets losing. But it's fine because
we're in first place. As long as the Phillies lose tonight,
we're in first play. Everything is fine.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
But one thing great. It can tell how calm you are.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
But no, I'm fine because real life. You gotta remember
Nick's were in the Eastern Conference finals. But what I'm
enjoying the most. What I'm enjoying the most is I've
never seen this before in my life. But it's so
great because one thing is positive. After this weekend, Yankee
fans are officially obsessed with the Mets. They are officially
obsessed with the Mets. Every time the Yankees playing, suddenly

(36:27):
it's the Yankee fans or like like it's the World Series.
Like winning two out of three against the Mets this
weekend was like the World Series for them, and they're
aggressive on social media, on messages, on text messages. To me,
it's it's like the Yankees used to never pay the
Mets any mind. It used to be come on, second
best team and come on, man, where we have tradition.
Come on, don't bring the Mets up in here. But

(36:47):
now the Mets are good, potentially better than the Yankees,
and they just had the best player. Say I don't
want to play with you, I want to play across town.
And now they're obsessed, even the media, the fans, it is,
it is insane. I'm so enjoying this meltdown?

Speaker 5 (37:01):
Is this?

Speaker 1 (37:02):
The Yankees are the friend that every time you get
together with them, they can't help but ask about their
ex and say about how I'm doing better than they are,
even though we broke up and they broke up with me.
I'm doing better. Well, it looks like they're doing print. No, no, no,
I'm doing better than they are. They're obsessed. I want
to watch Michael k today Yankees play by play guy
radio show in New York say, oh, I've heard from

(37:22):
sources Soda was miserable in New York. I've heard whoa wow.
This tells me how obsessed the Yankees are with the Mets.
Even in the Mets worst day, Even on the Mets
worst day, dude, you know, Gary and Keith and Rott,
none of them are making headlines about, Hey, what's going
on in the Yankees clubhouse and talking about what's going
on behind closed doors, which obviously he has no idea.

(37:43):
I'm just gonna say this like this is the Yankees
play by play guy wanting to say, yeah, things are
a mess. Sodo looks miserable, Like not even the Met
when the Mets were looking for relevance any way possible,
would they do something like this. It is so enjoyable
to watch the Yankees do this. It is so great.
Even Michael k don't know what to say that when
we beat the Mets. It's great, we won the World Series. Yes,

(38:05):
you're celebrating like nick fans getting out of the second round.

Speaker 5 (38:08):
Congratulate.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
They are so obsessed and I love it because the
shoe is on the other foot and it's awesome.

Speaker 8 (38:16):
People in the no say that Juan Sota wanted to
be a Yankee, he chose the Yankees, but his family
wanted to be a Mets, so he chose the Mets, right,
quote attributed to Michael KA. But yeah, you're looking at
a payroll that's what about thirty five.

Speaker 5 (38:33):
Million dollars more than the Yankee.

Speaker 8 (38:35):
So it's one of those rarities that they've now come
to play at the big Boys table and spending money
and spending it well, right, because that was always the thing, right,
Mets and the Cubs, they'd spend a lot of money,
they'd spend it poorly. And now you actually see it
on the field. Why because this guy changed squads and
everything he does is going to be scrutinized on a

(38:55):
whole other level.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
You're watching your squad.

Speaker 8 (38:58):
That has tons of questions, and by that I mean
the Yankees mine.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
All the questions have been answered. We suck.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
But for the Yankees, it's just one question, just one
thing wrong with your team, Just one thing, just one thing,
just one thing.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
What's that thing? It's one thing they stink. But outside
of that, you're good. You're good.

Speaker 8 (39:17):
Point the Rockies. Yeah, we do have the boat that
we that we do have. We'll see when that starts
paying dividends in the wind column. But no, it's it's
it's a fun story. Baseball needs more where there's actual
rivalry beyond hey, can we brand this rivalry weekend?

Speaker 5 (39:33):
Which is great?

Speaker 8 (39:34):
A lot of people showed up a lot of asses
and seeds eyeballs to the television everything else. Keep it sustainable,
keep that heat up. And that's the worst thing for
New York right now for baseball is that the Knicks
are still alive.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
So there's still gonna be the front and back of that.

Speaker 8 (39:49):
The Mets and Yankees are gonna be relegated to uh,
you know, the bottom three inches of a page or.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
The you know what, I love you. Here's the Michael
Cay stuff. That that just that just drives me.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
That I love about it is that for the longest time,
it was for the longest time, Sono's gonna go to
whoever offers him the most money, Right, that was the story.

Speaker 4 (40:09):
I'm gonna say that a million times.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Right.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
It's just like a politician that promises something promised on
me to promise something, and then it's time delivering.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
Go.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Oh I never said that, or I didn't say that, right,
Like this is this is Oh, whoever offers the most money,
he's going, He's going the Yankees got out bid, you
got played, you lost. Oh, But now it's Oh, he
wanted to be a Yankee, but his family.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
Convinced him to go. Oh, so that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
It was it was the money until his family said, Hey,
spend the next fifteen years of your life in a
place you don't want to be, and he said, yes, family,
I'll do that because I could say, what the Yankees
that make seven hundred and twenty million, but I should
go to the Mets to be miserable for seven hundred
and sixty five million.

Speaker 5 (40:46):
Yes, one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
I love the fact Yankees are melting down treating beating
the Mets like it's their world series. Like they it's
like they've become the little brother in the city.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Now it's fantasm. We're the big brother, the little brother.
It's so great.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
See.

Speaker 8 (40:58):
What would have been funnier is if he'd said, well,
his family convinced him that they needed more money.

Speaker 5 (41:03):
Yeah, yeah, hey yeah, because I couldn't give it to you.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
If I had seven hundred and twenty million versus seven
hundred and sixty five million.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
I couldn't take care of you.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
There's nothing I could do.

Speaker 8 (41:12):
Nothing I could do. We make a lot of money
and we spend a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Coming up next, we get into the biggest story of
the last forty eight hours.

Speaker 5 (41:19):
Keep it right here, Jason and Mike fuck
