Unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
I'm crying, all right, come on, I'm about to be
I'm about to do wheels. About father. I'm crying, rob G.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
To televin protests and going on just some solidarity. Rob G,
just what. I didn't say anything.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm trying not to be so I'm asking Rob G
to tell us the news of the day without ordering
him to do it, without saying asking as a I'm
just asking as a friend.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
As a friend, I'll tell you what happened. Okay, do
you want to open the show with it? Because you
had the wrong rundown in front of you?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
But I did.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
I had yesterday's run down. Rob That's what happens when
just seventy five see it? Now, come here, Rob, come on, no, no, no, no,
take your piers. I was like, what is this, Nicks.
I'm like, what, come on? Take your pills, eat your
cream a week.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I think he misremembers.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
So, guys, yesterday we talked about how the Knicks were
planning on requesting permission to speak to Jason Kid to
be the next head of coach, and the reporting was
that Jason Kidd them the interest was mutual that he
was also interested to do it.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Flash forward, to.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Wednesday, early early morning, early, and the Knicks did formerly
request permission to speak to Jason Kid.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
They were flatly denied.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
The only problem is we found out about an hour
later they had also requested to speak with Chris Finch
and the Timberwolves denied. They had requested to speak with
Email Doka from Houston denied, And then just before showtime
this evening, they requested to speak with Atlanta Hawks head
coach Quinn Snyder denied. Why so, guys, they are now

(04:07):
zero for four in their head coaching search. That's not
even counting Jay Wright already formally pulled himself out of
the mix.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Danny Hurley from all the talking point we talked about Jay.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Remember what I told you, Jay Wright's comfortable. Remember that
I said, he's comfortably retired. I don't care he gonna
have this whole squad on there. He ain't going because
when you get out of coaching like that, you just
burnt out, you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Because he was It.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Wasn't like I was right there, I'm good, right, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I can't do any better than this, And he just
decided you could get a toe for God like that.
That's why I brought up from the Steel Bill Cower.
Bill Cower was not coaching anymore. John John Madden when
he when he John Madden was a really good coach
when we went to Brook, I'm not coaching.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Like the guys Tony dungeit. We always thought maybe he
come back, you'd be a name, you hear, a surface
like man, I'd be a good looking and he just didn't.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
So there's some guys who did it. But this I wanted.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
This is just simply for me, Rob where I was
were again. My thing was, you know, and I had
been saying for years, even before they got into the postseason.
This goes back even before you and I did this show,
when I was doing other shows at other networks, like
I'm not the biggest time Thibodau guy per se. I mean,
some of the issues that he had historically. They obviously
showed up again with the Knicks not playing the bench,
playing guys so long that you had the Iron Man

(05:27):
of the NBA and Michael Bridges talking.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
About please give us a break.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
You know, when you got the Iron Man complaining for
a minute, it's like, ooh, bro.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
But to me, my thing was, this is.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Where I was saying, man, well, sometimes you kind of
fall into something like, hey, this is kind of working out.
And I was saying, well, what are the Knicks doing
there if Tom's not your guy? And I said that,
and you said, Mike Malone, I said, well who else
is out there? Like what's the game plan? And we
know Jim Dolan came out last couple of months and
he said, one of the things I admit I think
we've done wrong is we've always kind of freaked out
and went for the shiny new thing. Shiny new this

(06:00):
is coming out of James Dolan's mouth, and what do
we need to do? We need We always panic and
we try to go for the next big thing. And
he said, well, maybe we might have something here. This
is out of his mouth. They got a guy who's
won eleven playoff games, who's going back to back fifty seasons,
who got him to the Eastern Conference finals, and who
had something going in. One of the things I'm big
on in all sports is an identity. Rob I'm saying,

(06:21):
at least if you know, this is what we hang
our hat on, this is what we do, this is
who we are. We knew they play hard, they never quit,
no matter what they were down, they always found a
way to come back.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
They fought hard.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
And you have an MVP caliber guy obviously in Jalen Brunson.
And I was like, all right, fine, you're letting them go.
But now it's confusing, rob They let him go, not
with the game plan. They let him go, and everybody
is treating them like the kim Ba Matombo. Can we
talk to j Kidd Blook? Can we talk to Quinn
Snyder Bluck and Qwinn Snyder ain't even did nothing, Chris Finch.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Bluck e May I was about to get having a
conversation with people.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Don't mean you're gonna hire them.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
And my the thing is, you know, you talk about
all that, the bottom line and the reason that they
decided to fire him is because they expected to go
to the finals when they beat the Celtics and they
had home court and they were playing the Pacers who
were underdogs against Milwaukee who were underdogs. It's Cleveland, and

(07:19):
they had home court and they lose not only Game one,
which they coughed up one of the greatest chokes in
the history of sports.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
You can't get.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Fired off of that. You'll never get fired. And then
to back it up. They lose Game two at home,
so that's why he got fired. They weren't looking to
fire him. They just gave him a contract extension. But
once you get in and you realize what just happened here,
what happened to our franchise was a catastrophe.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
We were supposed to go to the.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Finals, where we haven't been since nineteen ninety nine. Prince
was singing back then, that's what they would expecting, and
that is what change. They realized this guy, we had
all the same. We went out, we gave up five
picks for Michel Bridges, we traded for cat.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
This was our window, this was our chance, and we
didn't get it done.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
And then you talk to the players on the excident
of view, and some of them probably had stuff to say,
and they looked at everything and they said, you know what,
we need to make a change. This whole idea that
every game and you have time to make a game
plan everything is not.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
My point is they weren't looking.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
They shouldn't have had anybody ready to go, because that
wasn't Their original idea was.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
To inspire him.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
But no, let me just say, once they realized that
they needed to make a change. You make a change,
and you figure out you don't. Everything's not buttoned up.
Sometimes things happen and you realize they just gave him
a new three year contract. There's no way they were
honestly thinking that they were going to fire him, especially

(08:59):
if somebody would have told you.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
They went to the Eastern Conference finals.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
But once they realized this guy is not gonna get
us where we need to go and the players have
some real concerns, that's when they said we're gonna part ways.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
We're gonna move on and then see what happens.

Speaker 8 (09:17):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
And that's why I don't have an issue with them.
They can figure this out as they go along.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
That was not the playing. Here's my pushback.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
I'm not mad at if sometimes you go, hey, we
just gotta make a move, right, But here's where I'm mad.
You can't tell me they expected to get to the
finals when and that you losing the one game right
in epic fashion, game one of the Eastern Conference Finals,
when this.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
Is the same coach that beat the Ranning World champions.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
So I can beat the world champions that nobody expected
us to pick, not a single person. You can't beat
you can't beat this team, coach the heck out of them.
Down twice by twenty points in the first two games
on the road, we find a way to win, coach,
then a victory, we beat the Rainy Champs. But then
I lose one random game and all of a sudden,

(10:05):
I'm firerable. That's just crazy. I got you past the
Rainey Champs. You didn't expect. No, I'm sure, all right,
Well we had a good season. At least we got
to play the Celtic. Wait, we won that series, and
now I'm firerable. That leaves me know there's something deeper
than this in just x and os and we cannot
because they signed him to a three year contract.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
That's what he let.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
No if he was signed, if he was signed prior
to obvious to meet, That's that says something going on.
This is why, like I didn't I didn't take that.
I didn't just say that for the if you can't
get fired for choking down that game one and then
but I beat the Celtics, No, no, no, But then
game two you coln't even you don't even come back

(10:49):
and tie the series at home.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Like a six games you like they got swept no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
So he was a game and a half from saving
his job because they got the they were up they
was in game six.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's Money Williams where he is in Phoenix.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
They were up two on.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
In the NBA finals, Money Williams.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
They didn't even want money, but they didn't want him,
is my point.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
And he was up two os.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
So he was So the guy with the finals, not
in the Eastern Conference final and the finals.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
So the guy that we liked last year, we gave
him a contact extension, goes into and overachieves from what
we expected, got us past the world reigning world champs,
got us to a game and half of the finals,
and now that guy is fire.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
But when he won more games, won more playoff game
and then he didn't win.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Game, which okay, fine, you want to fire him, you
fire him. And now you're like, uh, go get the
dart board, put some faces on the dart board. Let's
just throw some darts. Jess Kidd. No, Quinn Cider. I
don't even know why we wont Quinn Cinder.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
But the idea that they're talking, they're talking to people,
that doesn't mean that he's going to get the jobs.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Pins conversation. His agent answered, Hello, Hey, can we talk
to Quinn Snyder?

Speaker 5 (12:05):
It's just a conversation. Did you interview more?

Speaker 4 (12:09):
They thought they called Brady Quinn. No, that's Snyder.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Don't matter what names come out, that doesn't mean he
was gonna get the job.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Ristitch. They can't get nobody. And then they had a
nether call coach.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
You don't even know if they're talking to those guys
to try to figure out what's what's wrong with this team.
A lot of times when they interview people and I'm just,
how will you be in fifty years? I'll be because
that's gonna be the next time they win the championship.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
You're gonna fifty years. And we keep going for the
next shiny thing. That's our problem.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Tim hasn't won anything. I mean, so who Tom Thibodau
hasn't want anything.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
I won together.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
He hasn't won anything.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
And you're making it like they gave up like some
like they gave up John Wooden or somebody, or or
Popovich you won five championships or or pas saying won anything.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
You ain't got a game plan? Well do ai, John Wooden?
What are they doing?

Speaker 5 (13:04):
You need to do that?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
All they need to do is do their due diligence,
talk to as many people, and then you don't know
they might the guy can you coach?

Speaker 4 (13:12):
I know you might coach your little daughter's team.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Maybe they can call you because I don't know who
else left to call ra who you know what they're
gonna do. They gonna go get Mike Woodson because that
Mike Woodson is coached every team he can come back
to the Knicks. Dye is the bearded up you know?
I know, but you know and call Mike Woodson. I
believe it is. You let him go and you ain't
got nobody getting blocked from everybody getting caught.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
How you getting sent a voicemail by everybody, Rob, I
don't understand. The bottom line is it's not the process.
It's who you wind up with.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
It's not the process.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Well you'll wait and see your whole notion that you
had to coach. You just signed to a new three
year contract. You weren't prepared to fire him. But once
you realize you're not gonna get to where you need
to and that he's part of the problem. I give
an organization credit, all right?

Speaker 5 (13:58):
When when when the Pistons got rid of up.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
If you bring up Yes Brown again, I'm doing recall
off why because all I'm saying is they went.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
To the second round and done it in years and
they still said, can.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
We can we agree on this?

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Can we upgrade?

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (14:13):
We can?

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Can we agree on something something? It ain't just ex
and O's. I think it's something else.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Maybe, like you said, maybe it is maybe players, hey man,
maybe you think it's a maybe what I'm saying. Maybe
Michael Bridges coming remember coming out publicly. Maybe at the
end of the season he brought it back up. Maybe,
Kat says, I don't like the way he's not you know,
he sat me out in the fourth quarter or some
big games. It has to be something that just ex'es
and o's because he got them further than they've been

(14:40):
in quite some time.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
And it doesn't make sense to.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Me, all right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine.
Is it a bad look that the Knicks don't seem
to have a plan for their head coach? Or they
doing their due diligence, which is taking your time?

Speaker 4 (15:01):
He says voice he had Rob Sterling Junior. Rob Sterling
don't be They'll be leading the witness, Rob Sterling. We'll

they drive. Ship fast and free back by free road
hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire insallation

(16:16):
tire rack dot Com. It is the way tire buying
should be all right, Uh quick call. We're talking about
the Knicks, and I just feel they don't have a
game plan. This is why the Knicks been nicking to
fifty years and just not doing what they need to do.
You're okay with the TIBs and them not having a
plan right now? The plan was to get rid of
TIBs at all costs.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
That was the plan.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Call me, mister TIBs. They called me mister TIBs. They
called you, mister unemployed LinkedIn pag spent all that money.
He got so much money he bought a full page
in the New York Times to thank you Nick fans.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
I thought cost money, did all that and didn't get
it proper to pay. I thought that's what he did.
Not some hairclub for a minute something.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
All right?

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Who we got Brian in Michigan. You're on the couple
of Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
What's up, b what's going on?

Speaker 10 (16:59):
Vallas?

Speaker 4 (17:00):
How are you?

Speaker 10 (17:01):
I'm doing fine? Hey, I kind of agree with both
of you on this one. I got a two part
thing here, so I think that that game one. If
you can't get fired, I can't believe that that is
a fireball of fact. Yes, the worst bass there is.
But I think there's more to it, Calvin. I think
you're right. I think maybe the players just had enough

(17:22):
of him. He was pushing him too hard.

Speaker 8 (17:23):
But my question to.

Speaker 10 (17:25):
You guys is the name that's not being floated around
that I don't understand is Sam Cassell. Is there something
about Sam that people are not talking about. Why isn't
he getting a shot at a head coach Brian.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Weet Be appreciate the cause, always man and obviously go blue.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
We talked about this yesterday.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Sam Cassell keeps coming up kind of quietly or maybe
you'll hear his name kind of rumbling around each summer,
but for some reason, no one will pull the trigger
and hire Sam Cassell. And to your question, I don't
know is it You know what it is? Is he
the Eric b enemy of the NBA? On paper, looks good,

(18:04):
has had a great reputation. Players kind of speak favorably
of him, some coaches do as well, But for whatever reasons,
just is he not having great interviews? There's something that's
not corportable, meaning like your fans. I don't know what
it is, but Sam Cassell always gets a lot of love.
People praise him Rob and and it's like, oh, yeah,
that makes sense. All I see is players love Sam Cassell.

(18:27):
You see him on the bench working. There's something there
they don't get to mean, what is it?

Speaker 4 (18:31):
That's what he's an Eric benemy of the NBA.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
I mean Eric Biennemy is the same exact situation, and
now his window is open and closed.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah, to be like, you know, you don't have to
keep being like an offensive coordinator, running back coach.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Or I'll just think it just seems like so many
openings came and went. How in the world some owner
now going to all of a sudden feel like it's
kind of like being a quarterback in the draft and
you got to overlooked like five times, and then all
of a sudden you're the starting quarterback.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
That's about to be crazy when that happens to you,
I say, you got your nice little brown shirt on
to you look like a Cleveland I feel like we
in Cleveland right now.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
You look like a Cleveland brown radio guy right.

Listen, I got a whole conspiracy theory. You know, first
of all, shout out to your door right right now.
We got about one quarterback. We got what one real
possible quarterback. Uh, that's a future quarterback, and I think
that's your door Sanders. No, look, Dylan Gabriel, he was
third round pick. I think they picked Dylan and Gabriel
because they didn't want to be in the Shdoor Sanders

(20:30):
sweepstakes and didn't hear all that about Shador Sanders being
a guy that was going to start this year. But
given the fact that we have Jimmy has them, I think, Uh,
Jimmy made the call, and I'm happy Jimmy made the call.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
So when Jimmy makes the call, it's usually bad for
the Browns.

Speaker 5 (20:46):
So are you sure about that?

Speaker 8 (20:48):
Well, yeah, you know you you got to take the
good with the bat.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Okay, I just want to make sure you just said
that you're good with it. But I know most of it.
Picks have been really bad for the Browns, and I
don't know how gets overlooked what five or six times
by an organization, and he's gonna wind up being the
starting quarterback. If that's the case, you need to fire
the general manager and everybody else.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Who was in that room. If to me, if that's
what happens.

Speaker 8 (21:14):
Well, look I look at it like this. You know,
things happen mysteriously, and you know Sor ended up being
a fifth round pick. Now, I think for a lot
of people, you know, they looked at it from a
standpoint of him being a regular fifth round pick. But
I don't see it that way. I see his skill
set being a guy that could at least, at least
bare minimum be a third round pick on talent. You

(21:37):
look at his arm, you look at his talent, and
some guys like mel Kuiper, hey take it for a
greatness song?

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh yeah, no, please, there's another name you're throwing out.
I could give you a list of mel Kuiper picks
that will offer.

Speaker 8 (21:47):
Hey. Look, he may he may be good, maybe bad.
But here's the thing. I like what I'm saying about
what Shor is doing right now. A lot of people
want to see him play early, but everything that he's saying,
everything that he's doing, shows that he's a little more
mature than people would let on. He's saying, hey, look
I'm gonna sit behind Joe Flack. I'm and learn behind him.
I get there to show up, come early, stay late,

(22:08):
and give myself to my teammates. And he just talked
about it yesterday with the media saying, look, I got
the luxury of sitting and watching and learning different things,
so I like the attitude.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Well, I mean that's I'm so just for you to know, Garrett,
I'm a fan of this off schedule. I thought he
was at first late, first, maybe second, like you said,
early third at max Player, but we'll have to wait
and see. But staying there with the quarterback position, what's
the point of Kenny Pickett, what's the point there? What's
the point is Joe Flacco just to hey, we have
an amazing veteran backup quarterback. Are they really even something

(22:43):
they're considering to be starters? We had Adam Kaplan on yesterday.
He said, Kenny Pickett really isn't that guy like that?
And he don't even you know, what's what's he's really
there for your thoughts on the kind of the more
veteran between the other quarterbacks.

Speaker 8 (22:55):
You know, I was confused, you know, me and my
colleagues in the local media, Jason Lloyd Athletic, Mary Kaykabick
Cleveland dot Com. Uh, you know, even Tony Grossie, A
lot of these, you know, of our guys that are
around here that cover the team, as be reporters are
saying that, you know, Kenny Pickett has the inside track.
I never saw it as that, you know Kenny Pickett.

(23:16):
We traded a fifth round Pickett in DTR. You know,
he kind of flamed out in Pittsburgh. He left on
a little set, a little bit of a sour note,
especially in the locker room. And I don't I don't
see what the the the return on investment is. I
don't see what the upside is there specifically for Kenny Pickett. Now,
when it comes to Joe Flacco, he's forty some years ago.

(23:36):
I believe he's forty one. He didn't help us get
to the playoffs, but he's only there for a one
year deal. So at this point in time, I don't
see him having a long term future. I think this
thing comes down to this. I think right now, you
got Dylan Gabriel working in right now with some of
the ones.

Speaker 5 (23:51):
I think, why not your door.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
This is the one thing that I'm always going to
push back Garrett, is this organization hasn't won.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Jack.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
You got a GM and a coach who's trying to win, right,
you're trying to preserve your status, your job security. If
they really really believe seriously that Shadoor is the answer
and the quarterback that they've been looking for for thirty
five years right in Cleveland, there's no reason why he

(24:22):
shouldn't be playing even snaps now, I don't care. I've
seen quarterbacks leap frog over people. We talk about Matt
Flynn all the time. Seattle gave him a boatload of
money from Green Bay. Russell Wilson showed up and they said,
that's nice. Guess what, Russell Wilson's going to be our
quarterback the forty nine ers. Right when Colin Kaepernick showed up,

(24:45):
Jim Harbaugh didn't even didn't even hesitate to make the
change at quarterback from Alex Smith, who they were good.
They were winning games, right, they were good with Alex Smith.
So there's no reason someone would have to explain to me,
in a business where you survived by winning games and
you want the best players out there, why they wouldn't

(25:06):
play him if he's really the best quarterback on the roster,
and why wouldn't you play him against the ones in practice?
Doesn't mean, he was gonna, wait, he's a quarterback, but
you can't watch him against ones and tools and practice.
I don't want to explain that to me, Garrett.

Speaker 8 (25:23):
So what today is? Uh? Went to today's day?

Speaker 4 (25:27):
It's June eleven. I keep trying to tell him it
just started. Yeah, but your practicing.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
You're practicing and other guys are playing against fifteen quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Everybody gotta get Come on. I keep telling him, it's
so early.

Speaker 8 (25:39):
Talk to him early. And guess what. Here's the thing.
When the narrative goes out about Schador standers in the
pre drafted things about how he's arrogant, he over over,
over hyped hisself. His father had something to do with it.
Here's the tame Lebrown said. You know what, here's what
we're gonna do. We gonna come in and we're gonna
make you work for it. We will see how early
you show up. We want to see if you can

(25:59):
pick playbook up.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
That makes no sense. Come on, we want you believe that,
you know.

Speaker 8 (26:05):
We want to see what you can do when the
chips are down and when you have your back against
the wall. Now, guess what. September seven is a different thing.
When we come back from mini camp. When we get
the regular training camp, and if Shad Door Sanders is
not getting the first team second team reps and he's
showing that he's better than Dylan Gabriel picking, then you've
got a great I'm with you. I'm saying what are

(26:26):
we doing here? Because those other two eights hate to answer.
But I will say this though. I like the fact
that when he actually gets on the field and he
gets to a point where he is getting those reps,
nobody in the media can say he didn't earn it
because they started them own trading wheels and he worked well.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
They should be on training wheels. He's a fifth round pick, that's.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
What And just do you think he guys a fifth
He was a fifth round pick in talent.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I think when they looked at everything involved and the
biggest thing in and this is the same thing that
went for Tim Tebow. Teams didn't want Tim Tebow around
because they didn't believe he was a enough quarterback and
they didn't want the headache of people going on the
radio every day and fans demanding that he play when
he's not good enough. That's why Tim Tebow couldn't stick around.

(27:12):
The guy won a CHAN national championship and.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Collin a quarterback run halfback. He won a playoff game.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
He won a playoff game in Pittsburgh against against him,
threw Aasska receiver ran for eighty years. My point to
you is that's why teams were not as app to
want to look at your door like that, because if
they don't believe he's going to be that kind of player,
it's going to be nothing but a headache.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Gabriel, y'all gotta stop it with this Gabriel Dame whatever
it is. And I can't even remember his name compared
to should do. We didn't even know him too about
a month.

Speaker 8 (27:44):
Ago, Dylan Gabriel. I'll tell you what if you if
you go back and look at it, and I love
it because your door. Every time he gets an opportunity
to come out and he shows a different part of
his game. He dropped a beautiful forty fifty yards touchdown
pass yesterday.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
He better against fourth both better against the fourth round. Guys.

Speaker 8 (28:03):
Hey, he is looking good each and now I will
say this, He's looking better each and every day. And
I'll get to you if the Browns give him an
opportunity in training camp. Just get you know, because guess what,
if your door starts, he will be leading every every
late night news.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
And if he and they give him a start and
he throws two picks, you know what, you'll say, We'll
have you on the show again.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
He's a young guy, he's just learning.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
You could have been that's coulda be gonna determine his
whole future because he threw two picks in his first
preseason game. Would you do that? And you would want
to give him more time to develop? Correct or not?

Speaker 8 (28:39):
Oh, listen, He's gonna get time.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
I just want to make sure for the record, For
the record, I believe Joe Flacco will start the season
as the Joe Fuaracky. We'll get it done.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Gary Busch, by the way, I guess again, host of
the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show, hosts on ninety two to
three to fan in Cleveland. I want to also switch
to sticking with hoops. You know, we literally as we speak,
the tip is getting ready to hop a tip off
in the Game three NBA Finals, which I'm sure you
and all the entire city of Cleveland thought the Calves
could have a be here, should be here. What the
heck happened there? And where do you go? Darius Garland

(29:13):
is now heard for four or five months?

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Uh? Is this is this team? Is the window still open?
What's going on there?

Speaker 8 (29:20):
Listen? Windows are very fickle in the NBA. I go
back and look at the Oklahoma City Thunder when they
had hard and Westbrook Brook and Durant surge of Bacca
eight to win a thing. U. The Cleveland Cavaliers had
a great precison, a great regular season. But I'm gonna
tell you what, Uh until they get some guys that
are willing to put the work in and not be soft.
They got bullied by the Nicks, they all four to one.

(29:41):
They got they got out shot and bullied by their
Celtics a year two years ago. And then the Pacers
came in there and date with the Pacers did hustle,
rebounding intensity. The Calves are a good regular season team.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
They need to look at the possibility of either Jared
Allen or Darius Garland being moved. That's a little bit
tougher now because various Garlands. Yeah, just has surgery with
a toe. But you know a lot of people want
to keep running it back. And I'm looking around and saying, listen,
you're not better than a lot of these teams. And
by the way, Orlando on the rise, Detroit on the rise.
So it's not a foregone conclusion just because you have

(30:18):
Jason Tatum out with the Celtics that the Calves are
going to just come back and run it back and
they're gonna somehow magically get to the Eastern Conference Final.
It's all feel battle. I want to see what Kinny
Atkins you can do. But I think they need to
make a couple of moves. But that second tier of
luxury tax with this CBA is tough to move. And
we are we are definitely a second abrid team given

(30:40):
the fact that Mobley just one defensive player of the
year and they've kind of put us over. So it's
be tough. But the Calves need to get better and
I'll be interested to see if they can come back
and make some changes to the roster.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
There you have it, man, Garrett Bus appreciate you as always, brother,
Have a good one day. We'll do it again soon.
All right, All right, there you have it. Make sure
you give a follow g Bush ninety one. All right,
on the way, the game just started, By the way,

and a half into the game. Continue to keep you

and you both hate the Lakers, and not a single
denial your honor.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
I rest my case, Rob.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
I love my people, I love a bargain. I'm far
from rich, and also know what you drive. And also
I love the beautiful fifty five year olds who get
the senior discount when I take it.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
No, we know that you love them as humans, not
that you don't want to make love with them.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
You are fake. You love humanity, that's right.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
You love them as great people, but you ain't trying
to be in love with them.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
I knew that you.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
At best, what do they say religiously? They say doubt
sell At most? Do cut your agent half? An AD seven?

Speaker 4 (33:00):
So what would that be?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Then you've been about thirty seven thirty eight?

Speaker 4 (33:04):
All right, yeah that's too old. Here we go.

Speaker 5 (33:06):
Are we ready for the ones? Gotta go?

Speaker 4 (33:08):
I guess this guy Rosterling Junior here the.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Five of crowds is that when I'm playing there, funny
even number figure it out, hit.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Me out to hear me out? All right, runs gotta go.
This one is the phone edition. Now you say why,
and I tell you why because I had to go
get two new phones the other day and I.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Was in there and it was all that you can
do this.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
That's because I'm not an every year new iPhone guy
because they oh, you can do this and that the
same phone. Stop playing us to getting money, getting a
twelve hundred dollars out of people. Okay, I'm a two
three four year guy and I'll come see you. But
I got the two new phones Rob, and I was
driving home thinking like, man, I remember having next tell
and it was just a phone, but it was really cool.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
Right because it was his phone.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
And then they all of a sudden the next Joe
had the ability at T nine text and I was like, whoa,
but you know, you never one of the texts. That
was too much work. It was weird, like texting people.
I'd rather just call you. Well, we're in a different
era now. Phones are our entire lives. Here's our list
to what's gotta go. I started to tell to myself,
I said, myself, phone calls actual, but hello, text messages,

(34:18):
Ability to use apps, your camera, and I'm counting this
separate th apps. Music, right, you can listen to me
because you can you know, the store out as a
file on your phone and that so.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
One of these has to go. Music using your phone
as a camera.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Ability to use apps on your phone, texting, on your
phone or phone calls on your phone. Ron's gotta go, Robs,
both of you, this is easy.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
What would be new? That has to be a drop?
At this point? Who wants to go first? Manzi is
staring you want to go? I don't want to go.
This was hard, Rob, Gi you've been knowing about this.
I've been holding on to this with Rob. You gotta
go first.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
This one's easy.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
No, it's not.

Speaker 5 (34:58):
It is.

Speaker 6 (34:59):
I don't talking to people anyways. I could do without
having a phone call. First of all, you love talking
to me, Rob.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
You be on the phone. We be on a phone
long a sec.

Speaker 6 (35:08):
That's because I make traffic, so like I might as well, right,
I am not to traffic.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
Move.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
I guess y'all when we get to the studio, we
have a meeting here, but I don't have to talk
to anybody, So you don't have to have a phone.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Nah, I'm good, all right, you say that. Now to
the phone, it's actually tough. It is hard, and you
are a phone.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
You are a phone guys, so what I'm saying you
are definitely a phone content I'm talking about on the
phone talking.

Speaker 9 (35:34):
Let's focus on Rob Sterling Junior. Please I'll say this
if I actually have to pick one. I'm getting rid
of text messages. Okay, wow, let me tell you why,
tell us why. I believe that has actually been one
of the single handed things that's destroyed human interaction.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Just think about it.

Speaker 9 (35:51):
Before there was texting or any of that stuff, I
had to go knock on someone's door, like or make
that awkward phone call. I'm like, hey, mister Jones, is
Christian there?

Speaker 4 (35:58):
You know?

Speaker 9 (35:58):
Like I had to do things in yeah, like practice
articulation skills, et cetera. I just feel like texting now
it's made it so simple, where all we do now
is just a two and we say you up man.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
Wyd I wonder you in here. I'm trying to talk
to Rob here. Oh my god, No, it's just you. No,
it's seriously, it's you. That's the start of the moon's
in your eyes. No, it's seriously, stop it. I can't wait.
I miss you, and I already I just left you,
and I miss you already.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Oh my god, you're literally in the car in the park, lob.
But I'll be right there. I'll be right there in
a minute. I can't wait. This is the longest show
ever I want to be with you right now.

Speaker 10 (36:27):
I can't believe.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
All right, just wait till after the couple, right, give
me the money.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
You won't do it good all week? It was not
making it six years, all right? We got two of them,
mania rop all right. So here's the thing.

Speaker 11 (36:45):
I also don't want to talk to people except my mom.
I call my mom all the time. So that's why
I don't want to.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
To lose that ability.

Speaker 11 (36:54):
To lose that ability is with my mom, you know
what I mean. But I don't want to talk to
anybody else. Text is easy, and I can talk to.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
You, so I guess phone calls, phone calls.

Speaker 11 (37:06):
I know the bed right now, I'm.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
Gonna do this texting.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
I don't can't tell her, I said, oh lot co
the thoughts.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
I'm gonna say apps. I don't need apps on markets.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Robert Lee Parker Junior.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
The way you beat now, the way you beat up Instagram,
you better stop it.

Speaker 6 (37:28):
No, I mean, how else are we gonna get to
the fresh haircut selfie?

Speaker 3 (37:31):
How we're gonna get the rideing on a Wednesday? Now

Seriously, this great purchase from Ross.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
Stop it stop.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
I would do it on my iPad. I put the
apps on the iPad. I'm just saying, and I don't
have to have them on my phone, all right, So
I'm rules so I can't do that because that's what
what are we playing?

Speaker 4 (37:56):
Ty tower trigger right now? All right? For me, this
that was very difficult.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
And my immediate response answer was phone calls because I
thought I could just text. But then I thought about
to your some of you both, some of your points, Monci.
You know, I just got to phll my mom earlier.
You do need that when you gotta call. It's different
when you're talking to mom. You can actually connect and
talk to people. You can connect for me to be
able to talk to my babies if I'm out of time,
and my wife or just just have that I got

(38:21):
that text doesn't always cut it.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
