Fact, it's time for the Topfour four with Levac and guyze Ish.
Time for the top four stories inall of sports. It's the Top four
(00:22):
four, brought you by Ma Connor, where they always got out of their
way to please you. What's thefourth biggest story? Yeah, four four,
Top four to four story Number fourblock A? Is that a was
pronounced Blake? I guess Blake Asix time All Star. Blake Griffin's announced
his retirement from the league in along social media post. Good for you,
I'm sorry that happened to you.Have not reading all that number one
(00:45):
overall picked by the Clippers way backin two thousand and nine, and really
the Clippers became Lobb City. Itwas one of the laughing stocks of a
professional franchise. Blake Griffin one ofthe reasons why it actually became a contender
Rookie of the Year, slam DunkChampion. Before I ask this question,
factor in that the Basketball Hall ofFame in Springfield, Massachusetts not too far
(01:06):
away, actually here from the Capitolregion is both college professional international. All
of those things are weighed when you'rea candidate for the Hall of Fame.
Blake Griffin, you consider him aHall of Famer? Ooh uh, borderline.
I would have zero issue if hewas in the Hall. But I
(01:29):
don't know. I don't know ifi'd be the one to champion his case.
Like I think he's he is famous. He he he dunked like nobody's
dunked over cars. It's a dunkingmachine. H I'm okay with it,
but I'm not gonna I'm not gonnachampion it. I'll do a classic Hall
of Fame debate answer if you haveto ask the answers no, well,
(01:51):
then you gotta do the Then yougotta do the buster. Can you tell
the story of the NBA without him? That one doesn't work for my point
as well, though you have ahold on No, you can right,
uh if you had the top tendunk ooh, you can't tell the story
of the dunk contest without him.I don't know, But like, is
there a point where you go hewas, Yeah, well he was held
(02:14):
back by a super racist owner.Like is that like what, like,
how do you this feels like aguy who needed a championship to maybe put
him over the top for this toget in. This also feels like somebody
I know he was great at Oklahoma. Is that enough to get him into
the Hall of Fame. I'm leaningtowards no. There are gonna be some
guys who don't get in the Hallof Fame if we have to ask,
(02:36):
what confidence your career? But you'renot a Hall of Famer, but but
a really good player. If hewas there was, I'd be like,
okay, cool. But more Ithink the most important part of this is
I always find it finding when theplayer retires a year after the league told
him they were retired because he hadwhat he played forty one games for Boston
last year and he wasn't like It'slike, hey bye, we're god,
(02:58):
we don't need you anymore. We'reokay, right. Nick's like had every
big man on the planet get hurt, Like now we'll just keep bringing back
Todge Gibson like, you're good,you stay up it. Hey I heard
you're working on your stand up comedy. Good good luck, buddy. That's
another case of you know, ifyou were retired earlier, you might be
a Hall of Famer. Wait whatyeah, because he did spend like four
years in Detroit, and some peopleforget that actually happened. It's like,
(03:22):
hey, hey, if you wereretired earlier, you might have beat the
NBA two retiring. We'll move ona story. Number three. Blake griff
An awesome player, fantastic, hemight be in comedy. And also you
were like, wait, what hereally wants to do like acting. He's
actually pretty funny. He really is. I can't think of the commune.
Jeff Ross, No, no femalethere. Nicky Haley, Oh my god,
(03:45):
nick Haley g hy, Nicky Glazer. Yes, she they were on
some they were on a rose together, and she's just she was. She's
hitting on him the whole time.I was like, that's not he can't
be funny. You can't him andMatt Rife like, Matt need to go
away. Okay, you can't begood looking and funny. It's not fair.
I thought Rife would be funnier.You know, he's so big on
TikTok. I'm very he's a crowdwork guy. Crowd work guys are hit
(04:10):
or miss because if they end upin like a respectful crowd, they're gonna
get there. It's gonna be pooringfor a crowd work guy. You need
somebody to do something, but crowdwork guy, it's like, are you
really that talented with the jokes andthe setups are fast? I'm a crowd
work guy. I can do crowdwork all day long. I just I
can't do the same joke over andover. There's a skill to doing the
(04:30):
same joke a thousand times and beingand telling you each time it's the first
time you told it. That's Ican't do it. What other thing on
CrowdWork? What Rife's problem could beis that people want to be that person
and then it becomes like a I'mgonna say something stupid and like now he
has to play off all the dumbpeople in the crowd and you're laughing,
(04:50):
say, oh, he worked inradio before. I mean. It also
could be that he's just you know, he's okay. He's not great,
he's okay, but he's pretty,so the girls want to go see him
and he's pretty. Sort of guysdon't want to know that. Dot them
shot. That's more Levac's rock days, not with the sports side. The
rock stations in the past. Interestingcountry fans you've dealt with in the past.
(05:12):
Coutry fans at least usually trade theshirt, So that was nice.
We'll move on to story number threehere. New York teams and action tonight
include the New York Mets taking onthe Pittsburgh Pirates seven ten, the Boston
Red Sox and Guardians back at Nightseven ten. Have some issues with the
Red Sox fans, by the way, I might get to that before the
show ends. Finally, finally youwake up join the right side of this
(05:33):
Yankees in Blue Jays seven oh seven, Wolf Lad Guerrero Junior hit a home
run. You might have to findout my take on that in about forty
five minutes. Orioles twins as well. This seems like an interesting night in
Major League Baseball. Astros Braves aswell, Lavac. We're at this point
in the season now where it feelskind of even. I know there are
(05:54):
some teams like the Yankees that arepulling away a little bit, but when
you look at the stadius across MajorLeague Baseball, besides some bottom feed like
the Marlins and Rockies and White Sox, it's a pretty balanced start to the
season. We're looking at teams almosttwenty games into this, like okay,
like there might be a stretcher wherea lot of teams are in contention at
least for the first twelve percent oneeighth of the season. Yeah, I
(06:16):
mean it's a little it's a littleearly, but I will, I will.
It's it's got to be a littlecrazy to be down nine, eight
games even six this early. We'rejust started. How did that happen?
Right, it's wrong. I'm moreI'm more concerned like where you're looking at,
go ehy, But it's kind ofclose still, like, yeah,
the race is just beginning. Thefact that like the White Sox ran backwards
(06:39):
to start the race, that that'smore concerning to me than than in the
like the Marlins, Like what,you were a good team last year,
you played solid baseball, that thatkind of stuff. Like I almost feel
bad for the Rockies, Like Ithink the Rockies just ended up in Like
the Rockies came out looking like me, and then all of a sudden,
(07:00):
like the you know, the UALBNY track team ran out next to them.
It's like wa wait, oh,come on, I'll catch up.
Like that's I feel bad for that. The White Sox, Rockies and Marlins.
They're in all different spots. Wholike the Marlin you said, playoff
team Last season, the Rockies lookedat the West and Nolan Aernato has been
really when their whole franchise changed onthe deltam Way, it's like, we're
not gonna do this, Like we'renot gonna catch the Dodgers, We're not
(07:21):
gonna just the Giants. We gottafigure out another way to win. The
White Sox blew it. The WhiteSox could have been a team that could
have been a ALCS finalist, aWorld Series contender. They had all the
prospects, they had everything lined up, but their general manager and their manager
both stunk so bad out loud theyfinally had to fire him. Tony LaRussa
(07:44):
wake up, He's still in theduga. That's okay, Hi. Everything
from the White Sox. They gotrid of their best players, couldn't figure
it out, they got rid oftheir broadcasters. They were they had everything
lined up to be great, andthey blew it. Let's move on a
story number too. Here two basketballstories around out the top foard for the
Milwaukee Bucks, according to Malta reports, are preparing to be with or without
(08:09):
Janisanta de Cumpo, the Greek freakfor the start of their series against the
Pacers, onto the Compo around theclock treatment on that calf we fact.
What do you make of the newsthat the Bucks are prepared to see this
series against Indiana without their best playerpotentially on the floor. I I can't
(08:31):
get that hopeful. Uh it's soweird because I love watching the guy play,
but he's just he's he has thepotential to be dominant, and he
just he doesn't seem to be dominatanymore. And I keep ringing in my
ears, like when he was justlike, yeah, it's so what you
lose. Sometimes it's like I thinkhe's okay with losing, which freaks me
(08:52):
out a lot. But no,it's hey, if he wants to take
a little break, If and beingwants to take a little break, rest
up a little bit, you're readyfor next season. As a Knicks fan,
I'm okay with it. You're okaywith it. I'm you know,
listen, I obviously I'm willing tosacrifice great television watching great matchups with two
(09:13):
of the best bigs in the historyof the game, you know, just
just to uh just just because I'ma good person. Look at the new
knicks. I don't and I don'twant to, you know, I don't
want them to get hurt, youknow, and I want them to be
ready for twenty twenty five. Sothat's a fresh new Knicks for a minute.
I just don't wear it off.Oh you know it looks good.
Only bring it out when it's needed. Antkumpo is the modern day Shack.
(09:35):
Feel old of that comment, Themodern day Shack. Yes we're doing this.
No way, no way. Youcan't do that here because shaquld kill
you to win a game. Statistically, thirty plus points a game, over
sixty percent from the field, elevenrebounds you. If you put Shack's career
stats against Anton Cumpo's career stats,I think he'd be shocked how similar they
(09:56):
are. Now the injury with hisbody, dude, like you've suggested,
loadman management now, it's the besttime to do it at the postseason.
I know, with a bit ofsarcasm there, but boy, you've heard
me give this a bunch guys likethat with lower body injuries checked out there
my feet. But I'm gonna donkon you and then like on Goob's out
there, like, I don't feellike playing the Bucks that I had trouble
(10:16):
with or without him, We don'tknow the answery. Indiana is a good
team, like they prepared that rosterfor it. Poor Doc Rivers. I
finally get to prove them I'm notthe problem. Damn, it's a lot.
He's a lot of honest blake.You won't come back. I just
imagined Mike Boodenholzer somewhere with a bigfat cigar, his feet up, He's
(10:37):
like, oh, you thought itwas my fault? Oh yeah, joy
that what's that broadcaster working for you? Yeah? Move on story number one.
It's the NBA playing tournament tonight.Two games will start figuring out what
those matchups look like. In theWestern Conference tonight, Eastern Conference tomorrow.
Western Conference tonight, the Lakers takingon the Pelicans step off set for seven
thirty, followed by the Warriors andKings at ten o'clock. Well back,
(10:58):
I'm telling you right now, Iplay the day is coming up, involving
both of those games at about fortyfive minutes. These games would be a
lot more exciting if Kevin Herder wasplaying for the Kings of his healthy,
season ending surgery on his shoulder.If the Warriors were younger Warrior, if
Lebron was younger, if Zion decidednot to get fat a few seasons earlier,
(11:20):
they had a better I think Zionlooks pretty good right now. Okay,
he does in comparison, what areyou still? Yeah, I'll give
you that. Then all you gotfor it? That's it. He looks
fine. He's Duncan. That wasyour boy. I gotta tell you,
I think your point about Sacramento isone hundred percent right. I think I
don't think they're healthy enough to beGolden State. But I the Pelicans could
(11:43):
play spoiler in the league's plans.I might. I might be a little.
I gotta look, I haven't Ihaven't done the numbers yet, and
we've got the Pick of Day comingup. I might dabble with a little,
a little Pelican's Golden State play inParlayo. It looks like double that
looks like we're both going the samedirecting. All right, for the Play
of the Day and Vols playing again. Listen, man, all right,
(12:03):
Lakers are good, but I couldsee the Pelicans playing spoiler. They're they're
a good team. And then GoldenState needs to win to get in.
Then you get then you get yourGolden State in LA matchup that you've been
waiting for so feverishly. They lookat me thinking of you a good friend,
Thank you, You're welcome. Ineed them the win tonight, Tholks.
(12:24):
I'm no, I'm not giving myplate. That's the top four to
four smooth as always, smooth likebada. Oh man, you know it
was. It's funny. We weresitting here earlier today and I heard the
Malibu commercial for uh, for MohawksChevrolet, and I was like, huh
is that what's going on? ThoseThat was a march thing turs out.
(12:46):
They still have enough Malibus that theycan do a great deal for you with
Malibu. They can do a greatdeal for you with the Equinox. I
was. I was at Mohawk Chevrolettoday for a couple of minutes, Uh,
just stopping through, talking a littlebusiness. Make sure everything' where it
belongs, make sure I'm doing allright. They're they're okay, checking in
love the people there. They gotthe Bison out front, which is insane.
(13:07):
They got all these great Camaros.Everything. The selection like turns my
head every time I pull it alot, there's a there's a Silverado there
that is this like slate gray,Like it's a weird gray color. And
I at first my first thought waslike, I don't like that, Like
it's a beautiful truck, bad color. I started thinking about, like,
(13:30):
but it's I can't not see itevery time I go through. It might
be the perfect promotional vehicle, Likeif you have a business, go over
to marks every and be like thatthat weird gray Silverado that Lavac was talking
about pointed out to me, andthen they got rap kings on the lot.
They can put your logo right onit. It's it's basically whatever it
is you need in the world ofvehicles, Mohawks Evyley can do it for
(13:50):

this thing. We'll try to eatup before I leave. See what happened?
All right, you've got You've gota long time, almost twelve hours.
I don't know what damage will bedone, but those concerned about me,
I'm in a different studio. Thisis a very Howard and Robins scenario.
(19:25):
But back and I are not inthe same room. Host, get
some of this thing right behind theglass. I got this new hot sauce
I've been working with fine. Ruinedthe house. Ruined the house I made.
I made a spicy chicken on rice, and uh, I ate it.
My daughter had a couple of bites. My daughter's poor boyfriend was laid
up the next day. He's beenhe was laid up. It hurt his
(19:45):
tomb thumb and he got him.You can't listen. You got what you
guys gotta understand, is you youthink you like spicy food. I was.
I was born with spicy food,like it was. Every time I
swore as a kid, I gota spoonful of horse riders really punishment.
Yeah, So like now I justeat spicy food. I don't know if
(20:06):
that tells you how much I sworeas a kid. I'm the youngest of
five. I heard a lot ofwords and I replayed them. I was
bad. Now I'm starting to wonderif I don't even know what horsh horse
radish is because that's not like,oh no, roastbeach sandwiches. There's a
big place that most people haven't.Yeah, I thought it was my favorite
topping on a burger because I butlike, why would if I enjoy a
horse radish? Why you're not justgetting it played? It's like mixed into
(20:29):
a Mayo. No, when youget just just unadulterated, like and there's
levels to this game, okay,because it's like ketchup and mustard and Mayo,
Like you get that on a spoon, you're good to go. Was
No, it's like, yeah,it's like it's spicy, it'll hit it.
Like, as a matter of fact, I bought I bought something.
It's called nasal napalm. It's horseradish. You do? You do?
Is not even a spoon because Itook some of it. Oh girl,
(20:52):
I was like, wow, Iwas gonna stop, but man, I
could breathe. I could breathe.I bought that throw I'm sick. Hey,
it's vacan guys here for but that'ssales. We're ready we're ready.
I'm ready. I'll do it.I'll do it. But like, yeah,
so I just I think this isthe pardon my pun, back end
(21:15):
of of of of the Spicy ChickenNight. It was so good, but
it was Ghost Peppers involved. Soyeah, so I got some uh,
I got some breaking wind for yourbreaking news on g Y in the morninging
like that. I'll let du No, no, all right, well no,
you gotta remember I remember whose sideyou're on, you know what I
mean. I don't need this Tommycorporate kaka around here. Hey, So
(21:40):
we find out who the Knicks playtonight, No, tomorrow night. Tomorrow
night, we find out the nextplay in the first round the playoffs because
tonight's the Western Conference Tomorrow Night,Heat seventy six ers. Whoever wins,
that's who's facing the Knicks. They'rethe seventh seed, they face the two
seeds. Yes, I am,I have seen equal article on the Knicks.
(22:03):
Really need to hope that the Heatwin or the Knicks should. The
Knicks don't need that Heat. Again, the Heat have always had their number.
So there is such a like likescared in New York Land, which
version which team is going to beworse for the matchup. I still think
I think the better team right nowis and this is all about embiat If
(22:26):
Embid is one hundred percent healthy orat least healthy enough that he's a factor.
You don't want the Philadelphia seventy sixers right now. You don't.
I would rather have old Man Butlerand the crew from the Heat culture.
I'm with you as well, becauseof the matchup, because of the big
guys down low, because of justthe quality over the last ten games the
teams have been star wise putting outthe Heat is the better matchup. But
(22:51):
how you let that off is?I think really telling about New York fans
still that as the two seed,as a fifty win team, as a
team that's got a top five MVPcandidate, Nick Fann fears this opening round.
Nick fan is not confident. Eventhough the confidence should be higher than
it's been in a very long time, it's not there because at least gone
(23:14):
further. Miami went about as faras you can go without winning the championship
last year. Other teams in thisconference have had more success more recently.
So Knicks Fans needs some type oftrucks. It wouldn't be down on them.
There we go. But again,like when you look at the basically
and I'm being the two seed,right, I like to consider myself something
of a realist. I can't believethat the Philadelphia seventy six ers are in
(23:42):
the playing game. If MBT ishealthy for the majority of the season,
I can't believe that they are lowerthan a three seed. As a matter
of fact, if he was healthyall the way, and this is this
is factoring in one injury and notthe other, they're definitely ahead of the
box. If I'm GOOPO goes downlate in the season. But I just
(24:02):
with the way the Bucks have been, the kind of they're kind of leaning
towards soap opera, seventy six Erswere surpassing them. I think I think
if everything, if everybody was healthyand things are whatever, Celtish are clear
number one. Nobody's playing basketball likethey're playing basketball. They're a good team.
They play good team ball. Seventysix Ers would be number two because
(24:23):
Embiid was playing MVP caliber basketball beforehe got hurt. Knicks are three because
I think the one thing everybody ever, when everybody critiques the Knicks, it's
always they're a team with a shortleader, they're a team where their best
player got hurt and now their fourthplayer. They're a team where they're a
team. The Knicks are a legitteam, so they get three and then
(24:45):
the Bucks probably fall the four.That's if Mban's healthy. So saying that
is why I would rather have theteam that truly belongs in the play and
than the team that does not belongto the play, because now it beads
back the most telling way in whichthe national audience and how the Knicks are
gonna feel in this series, whetherit is Miami or Philly. When it
(25:07):
will really come is late when,yeah, late Wednesday night, probably around
like ten o'clock. And the placeyou're not gonna find it is on social
media. The place you're not gonnafind it's maybe on the internet. It
is sports betting apps. Yes,I know that's not a one hundred percent
of this listening audience, but thereare some that need to factor this in
(25:29):
when you watch this series that wheneverthe opponent is locked in for New York,
pull up DraftKings Fan, Duel betRivers, what Caesar, whatever you
use and scroll over to the futures. Just scroll over there a little bit
like Levick just gave you his topthree of Boston, Philly in New York.
Look at the odds of most likelyto win the Eastern Conference, and
(25:52):
if all of a sudden, NewYork gets the matchup with Miami and their
second, somebody's seeing something. Something'sgoing If all right, If all of
a sudden, New York is fourthor fifth, and I believe the last
time I checked onth they like thirtyone to one to win the NBA Final,
it might even be higher than thatthat. If all of a sudden
the New York odds significantly drop,it's like, boy, why are the
(26:15):
gambling sites not offering that right price? In the Knicks? This is a
national brand. Knicks fans are Thursday. They're usually a New York app and
a New York market. You wantto see action to draw on it.
That's the way I think you couldquickly get a read on this series is
how these sports a wagering apps viewthe future market for the Knicks. Now
some again won't factor that incause Idon't want to wait ter on sports.
(26:36):
That's totally cool. Again, mostof our wagering talk comes at the next
twenty minutes. We do talk alot on the show. That's how I'm
going to evaluate that series because I'mstill riding with the Heat is the better
matchup. But boy, if somethingstinks quickly after that game goes final between
the Sixers and the Heat, andI pull up the app and the Knicks
don't have a good number, like, oh boy, maybe it's not just
New York fear, it is nationalfear about the expectations for the New York
(26:59):
Knicks plus thirty three hundred, theseventy six years are at plus sixteen hundred.
Yeah, it's not good the Heator plus forty two hundred. Well,
then again it's join B and notlike. The thing you have to
remember, and we say this allthe time when you're talking about wagering,
is it's not just who's gonna win, it's who I can get you to
(27:22):
bet on. So there's there's alwaysthat goes into it. But I will
there's you kind of stumbled onto oneof my points here as a Knicks fan.
We sit here and we go,I don't know if I want to
play them. I don't want toplay them. Nobody wants to play the
Knicks. And Jalen Brunson plays likehe's a chip on his shoulder. How
much bigger is that chip now thathe just found out he was left off
(27:45):
the twenty twenty four Olympic team.Big, Like, what does this dude
have to do to get respect?Look at I'm not pretending to Tyres Halliburn
and Devin Booker, Drew Holliday asSteph Curry are are are not that good?
I'm not pretending that. But Ithink the team got worse by leaving
off Jalen Bronson. I can't waitto see Jalen brns is gonna be on
(28:10):
that core like angry. He's justhe's that dude is special. The guys
relate to him. It's a team. And now again you you not only
insulted Jalen Brunson, you insulted JoshHart's leader. You insulted you know,
Isaiah Hartenstein's leader. You you insultedthe leader of the team. I think
they play even better because he gotleft out. Keep I keep thinking about
(28:36):
even Timms is joking now like theylike they're so galvanized against the rest of
the world. When Tims was doinghis whole speech, I left this part
out the other day about you knowyou're in basically, you play to win
the game. He goes, whateverit is you're doing, you know you
played, you you do that towin, whether you're doing a podcast,
you do that to win. Andeverybody's like, he's taking a shot at
Brunton and Heart for their podcast.Is what he's doing. It's man,
(29:00):
just keep insulting the Knicks, justkeep keep underestimating him, keep insulting him
all the way to the finals.Part. TIBs is so confused now because
he's got a comment on podcasts,like you know you said, there's some
strays come in the next ways peopleare insulting him, underestimating him, not
believing that the same type of teamthat can do it. But it's that
(29:21):
combination of Tibbs getting the podcast hehas to comment on, and also have
you seen what the recent conversation wasabout him and Mitchell Robinson. There's a
there's a meme going viral that it'sTom Thibodeaux who has been like cgi'ed.
I believe it's Kanye stepping out toa concert and doing like a Kanye dance
(29:42):
at like Coachella. But the memesays, when coach Tibbs puts in Jalen
brunts it into the game with sevenminutes to go and the Knicks are already
up thirty, and they showed itto him and he's like, oh,
this is pretty impressive. Who didthis? Mitchell Robinson should be Mitchell Robinson
can do this? How did hedo this? He's convinced he doesn't know
what Instagram and podcast. He thinksall these players are doing all these things.
(30:06):
He has no clue of going on. Back to the disrespect and the
chip on the shoulder for this NewYork Knick team, I would group them
in with the Oklahoma City Thunder theMinnesota Timberwolves. The Thunder are the number
one team, the number one seedin the Western Conference. The Minnesota Timberwolves
are the number three seed in theWestern Conference. But it feels like the
(30:27):
t Wolves, the Thunder, andthe Knicks are all getting that same heat
of like, well, we're probablygonna be the favorite. You know,
we got more veterans on this team. The Thunder, they're not supposed to
be here. Timberwolves, what theKnicks? No like because of this lack
of tradition, everybody's underestimating those threeteams. Now, the Timberwolves have an
MVP caliber player and Edwards the Thunderthey think they do an home grin SGA,
(30:52):
they think they got MVP candidates.Those three teams are all crooped to
gather rough. Okay, if youwant teams to consider you, guys his
threats, show it to us.Prove it. Who can you knock off
in the postseason? Now, Iget it, Minnesota and okay See are
in the West, but all threeof those teams all have that. If
you want to be the next teamto step up in the NBA, here's
(31:14):
your chance. Prove it to people. Yeah, I kind of want by
the way, I kind obviously Iwant the Nicks to win because they are
the games right here on Fox Sportstwenty five, nine to nine eighty.
But if they win and the Timberwolveswin and the Thunder win, it's great
because you can actually say, hey, the NBA regular season matters because if
all of a sudden, the twoseed, the three seed in the one
(31:36):
seed get knocked off in the postseason, like you know about that eighty two
regular season where everyone said it matteredand seeding mattered, and the NBA should
want those teams to win if youwant them to I get there's like bigger
stories with lower seeds, especially inthe West with Luca and the star studded
Clippers and Durant. No, theythey should want those teams to win for
(31:56):
the regular seasons importance. Hello,you speak for earlier. We don't root
for any team. We would justwait for it to play out because we're
the NBA and we don't take favorites. And we're also not giving back any
of the eighty two games because weneed that money. And Apple give us
that TV deal. Please give ussome money well and again, like the
whole Like that is one of thethings I do. I love these conversations
(32:21):
about shortening seasons, but they're sostupid when they come to the NBA because
it doesn't matter how bad some ofthese teams are, they will sell out
an arena every night they play likeyears of the next thinking, you know
what, they didn't care because youstill sold out almost every night. Like
as long as people are buying ticketsand watching the television and the money's coming
(32:42):
in, they're not nothing shrinking.Nothing's happening, ain't happening. There's no
cold pool in site, my friend, no shrinking. Uh listen, what

(38:43):
out of their way to please you. Just off Extra twelve of the North
Way lavac before we get to ourplays. I wrote something here on the
show is that it just says vacum. Oh, it says Daniel Jones story.
Yes, if you haven't seen it, WOFX ninety x on Twitter.
It is over a million views nowof Daniel Jones addressing the media yesterday.
(39:07):
If you haven't seen the video,find it, Google it, go to
our social media page, like it, share it. The best thing I
can compare it to is Adam Gase'spress conference when he was introduced as the
new head coach of the New YorkJets, where his eyes are kind of
bugging out of his head, andthen people had the fake tacos that he
was staring at. Something's going on? Is mL football set on Twitter?
(39:31):
Something's going on weird with Daniel Jones. Now, it's not fair to accuse
people of doing certain things or puttingsomething in his body. I would just
watch the video of Daniel Jones inwonder. Maybe he's on pain medication,
Maybe the camera's too close to hisface, maybe it's weird lighting. Something's
(39:52):
going on that is concerning in thisvideo about his facial features, his eyes.
I'm just assuming again, don't yellat me Big Jers on Fox Sports
nine eighty, WOFAX nine eighty onTwitter right now, I would say,
by looking at him in the DanielJones video that's posted, it looks like
he's on pain medication that's a littletoo strong. It looks like percosets.
(40:16):
Maybe just guessing here. I believethat's a pain medication. That's my guess,
and I my research I've done onthat is that Kurt Angle is also
going viral over the last few weekssimilar like it's I tried to watch his
eyes and the like instantly mine almostcrossed. I bring it up because we're
(40:37):
nine days away from the NFL Draft. You said earlier in the show,
like you know, there might besome things to be concerned about with Daniel
Jones about how he's rehabbing. Nowthat video is a little concerning about how
he physically looks. So I willsay this, I don't think he likes
being in public like he's I don'tknow if he's Rick Williams level where remember
(41:00):
Ricky Williams used to do the interviewsafter as he would have his helmet on
so he could have the visor tokeep between him and the people. I
think I think the press makes DanielJones uncomfortable and and my only my only
evidence for that is every single interviewI've ever seen of him where he just
done, he's I've never seen himlook comfortable. And in Kay Adams used
(41:22):
to have him on weekly and henever said anything. He just kind of
was like, he's like, he'snot that dude. I don't think,
uh, there was. I thinkit was might have been the Miami I
think it was the Miami super Bowl, the last one we covered before for
Vegas. There was some cornhole competitionand they had him going against Sam Darnold
(41:45):
because they were both they're both hereand Donald's kind of having fun with it
and he's like, you know,throwing the bag and laughing a little bit.
Dale Jones is like robot man,just nothing, just not gonna.
I think he's just weird. Okay, you get talking drugs, you might
be right, could chalk up tobe an uncomfortable, weird, odd setting.
(42:07):
It could be true. I wouldjust say if I was a giant
fan and I saw that video thatdoesn't look like a normal Daniel Jones press
conference, I think that's fair tosay whether it's And again I just assumed
pain medication because he's battling through aninjury, and we saw similar athletes on
social media with a similar look doingthe same thing. I'll just toss that
(42:27):
out there if you're a giant fan. That is going viral today. Daniel
Jones talking about how he's recovering andgoing for the future. Yeah, it's
just again, it's and it's anuncomfortable he knows what's out there. Like,
can you imagine if you knew youwere out or you knew that like
your time was limited at best,and hey, go go talk to them.
Okay, Hey, uh, DanielJones, how you doing good?
(42:52):
How's it feel to go go frombeing vanilla vic to fired? It's been
better, you know, a littleworking on rehab whatever. But I do
I think he's I do I thinkhe's just an awkward dude. Well never,
I hope get to the point inthe history of pro sports or college
sports when we break down too muchof a press conference, Like the fun
(43:13):
cliche thing to say is they wonthe press conference. You know what?
You know what, Actually, letme ask you something, because you you
know, mister Heisman and all thoseall those things, and you've never been
a Dane Jones fan. No,even when he beat your Buccaneers while we
were on the bus to the Bronxreturning, I blame the kicker. But
fine, Fine, when you seethis, the athletic ability that he has
(43:36):
because he is he's a he's askinnier Josh Allen, he's got a he's
got a way bigger arm than wethought. It's not a cannon, but
he can make all the throws.He can run for, he can run,
He can do a lot of things. He seeing him now, he
should have been at a bigger schoolthan Duke. Right, No, you
don't think he should have been.You don't think he could have. He
would have. Syracuse would have trippedover themselves to have him start. No,
(44:00):
really, the problem with here's here'sthe Daniel Jones thing. When Daniel
Jones was at Duke. He likelypicked Duke because, uh, David Cutcliffe
is the coach. Yah at thatpoint in Cutcliff, you don't know his
background. He worked with the Mannings. He was a guy who could likely
get him to the NFL. Sohe said, Okay, if I'm a
good recruit, I can work withan NFL mind, I can get on
the field if I go to anAlabamar and LSU, I might get on
(44:21):
the field. I can at leastplay it. Duke, you don't have
to go that far. But butDuke's of basketball school. Like I'm trying
to think like Cincinnati, like suddenlya school that even though Sincaty's more basketball,
but like known for football. Butnot that dude. That guy couldn't
light Rutgers on fire. And there'sanother interesting and think about the history of
Daniel Jones. Okay, let's saybecause I have a theory that I believe.
(44:45):
Okay, because what I was gonnasay about the Duke time with Daniel
Jones is like, Okay, well, he was in the n CC.
He was the top but was itfifteen draft pick? First rounder? He
must have been dominating at Duke.Daniel Jones was not even an All league
selection in the ACC. Now I'mnot telling all American I believe he didn't
(45:05):
make it the honorable mention for theACC. So the ACC coaches looked at
Daniel Jones and said, we havefour better quarterbacks in the league. And
the New York Giants and Dave Gettlmanlooked at Daniel Jones said, oh no,
no, no, there's only onequarterback better than him in the entire
draft class. The ACC just saidthere's four better in the conference. They
think Daniel Jones is only not asgood as Kyler Murray, and I'm assuming
(45:28):
Kyler Murray because Kyler Murray went one. I don't know where Kyler Murray or
the late Dwayne Haskins were on theGiants draft board. If my memory serves
correct, Jones went ahead of Haskins. So there's a chance that the Giants
thought he was the best quarterback inthe entire draft class, and the ACC
coaches thought he was at least thefifth best in their league. So that's
(45:50):
probably where the Daniel Jones hate camefrom. Where it's like, why is
he still the quarterback for the Giants. He had a perfect year to get
it timed up and he plays fora really well traditioned, stubborn I've been
used in that turn, but that'snot what the Giants do. The Giants
don't take a quarterback and give upafter him after two years. They have
a history of Hall of famers andtradition and got there. The Maras still
own the team. He's been througha meat grider too of different coaches,
(46:13):
cooridinators, different no targets, Likethe the most recent mock draft for the
Post has them going Molik Neighbors.And if they do that, I mean
that's a special wide receiver. Youcan't say you don't have targets anymore.
If that dude shows up, Idon't know, there's just something I if
you told me that he had thathe could have went to a bigger school
(46:36):
and fought for the starting job andchows to go to Duke because no matter
how good he ended up being aDuke, he's the second story I'd buy
it, would you know? Wouldbe interesting about that is if the Giants
decide to draft Drake May then gotanother North Carolina North Carolina right, like
(46:58):
no, Like the point is validwhere it it's like Drake May was a
highly sought after recruit who decided toalmost the same exact thing. Where it's
like, wait a second, whydidn't Drake May? And to add your
point, you know North Carolina andDuke a very nice schools. Other schools
could pay you more, like ifyou end up being a bust in the
pros, if I want to getyour money now before I have to just
something he's again. He strikes meas that dude, who's like, I
(47:21):
can do this. I just ratheryou weren't looking at me when I did
it. Like, think about thinkabout his his his best offensive play.
He trips over the turf, eightyplus yards on the ground, and he
trips on his way to and youknow, open shot to the Inenzo.
Listen. I'm not the most mostathletic human on the planet. I know
(47:42):
I'm close and know a lot ofpeople look at me and go that guy,
But like, I feel like I'mnot tripping on that one. I'm
going to the end zone. Earlierin the show, if you missed it,
Apple, I'll also get run downfrom behind. But Apple Spotify the
I Heart app. We did alittle mock draft talk today. We talked
a little bit about what the Giantscould do and that top four, top
five, top six, top seven, where would they potentially move And one
(48:06):
of the scenarios we played out becauseof Fox Sports is Nick right, is
the Giants would go to four andget Drake May in this scenario where the
Cardinals would be but JJ McCarthy potentiallywould go at three, but the La
Chargers sit at five and we knowabout the McCarthy Harbaugh connection. So Giant
fan, it's felt like it's feltlike the Giants, as you laid out
(48:27):
another mock draft, there are goingto aim for a wide receiver or another
position besides quarterback. Despite these videos, despite the lack of wins and maybe
the season ending injuries that Daniel Joneshas had, But there are no reports
nine days from now that the Giantshave any interest in moving up in the
draft. It doesn't seem like they'retaking a quarterback. Now. Now here's
what they They really could realistically dothis. They could trade back into the
(48:52):
back into the first round and getMichael Pennix or Bo Nicks and get that
five year deale I still be therein the second round. Now right,
here's different. In a second round, first round, if you trade up,
you know you have the deal whereyou get that extra year of uh
the option money wise and contracts.But here that's also an odd thing where
it's like, we really want totrade up to get bow Nicks, Well,
(49:13):
why need you to take them atseven? We literally did that conversation
with Daniel Jones, right, ordidn't they trade up to get Daniel Jones
and it's like, well, youtraded a bunch of people up to get
the quarterback you wanted. We justdon't agree with the quarterback you want.
I have no issue with you tradingup if that's who you want. But
if you want Nicks or Pennix thereat seven, get them there. Don't
don't give up picks if you wantsomebody that bad. Yeah, it's oh,
(49:37):
there's some, but it is.We have our We do our play
Lakers Warriors money line plus two onethree. So that means if you've bet
one hundred dollars tonight on this play, you two to one three, two
hundred and thirteen dollars money line WarriorsLakers all right plus money baby money line
(50:00):
Pelicans Warriors plus two twelve dare you? And by the way, probably the
largest bet I've made in a longtime. Whoa, which isn't that large?
It's still like it's decent. Andthen also like I'm gonna do a
pinstrip parlay. They've been they've beenworking for most of the time. Yankees
money line, Judge and Soto toget a hit rode on five plus strikeout,
(50:22):
Wait a second, Wait a second, rode on five plus strikeout says,
what you're missing, Okay, you'llgo ahead, s which one.
I feel like the pin straight parlayis gonna get sponsored by the end of
twenty twenty four because people are nowsending you with their pin straight parlace to
play. And that guy's a RedSox fan. No, it's just I
added rode on like that that person. But again, I think Judge is
(50:45):
gonna go on a masher at somepoint. Soto's been fairly hot. H
Yankees lost back to back, Agonna lose three in a row. I
don't. I don't need that inmy life. I don't. I don't
need that at all. And andwe just go we roll from there.
So we we hope with parlay,pinstripe, We we play in parlay.
(51:06):
We have we just there's a lotof parlay action. I might mean to
ask you why you were so hellbent on giving him in that parlay.
I might want to talk to youmore about that here coming up an hour
number three, bring it. I'mnot scared of your parlay talk, all
right, bring it on. I'llI'll parlay with you because I'm well rested.
Okay, listen, I know alot of people are understand it.
I'm rested. Thanks the Indegrave SleepCenter in Boston spat five eight eight five

pronounced Blake? I guess Blake Asix time All Star. Blake Griffin's announced
his retirement from the league in along social media post. Good for you,
I'm sorry that happened to you.Have not reading all that number one
(00:45):
overall picked by the Clippers way backin two thousand and nine, and really
the Clippers became Lobb City. Itwas one of the laughing stocks of a
professional franchise. Blake Griffin one ofthe reasons why it actually became a contender
Rookie of the Year, slam DunkChampion. Before I ask this question,
factor in that the Basketball Hall ofFame in Springfield, Massachusetts not too far
(01:06):
away, actually here from the Capitolregion is both college professional international. All
of those things are weighed when you'rea candidate for the Hall of Fame.
Blake Griffin, you consider him aHall of Famer? Ooh uh, borderline.
I would have zero issue if hewas in the Hall. But I
(01:29):
don't know. I don't know ifi'd be the one to champion his case.
Like I think he's he is famous. He he he dunked like nobody's
dunked over cars. It's a dunkingmachine. H I'm okay with it,
but I'm not gonna I'm not gonnachampion it. I'll do a classic Hall
of Fame debate answer if you haveto ask the answers no, well,
(01:51):
then you gotta do the Then yougotta do the buster. Can you tell
the story of the NBA without him? That one doesn't work for my point
as well, though you have ahold on No, you can right,
uh if you had the top tendunk ooh, you can't tell the story
of the dunk contest without him.I don't know, But like, is
there a point where you go hewas, Yeah, well he was held
(02:14):
back by a super racist owner.Like is that like what, like,
how do you this feels like aguy who needed a championship to maybe put
him over the top for this toget in. This also feels like somebody
I know he was great at Oklahoma. Is that enough to get him into
the Hall of Fame. I'm leaningtowards no. There are gonna be some
guys who don't get in the Hallof Fame if we have to ask,
(02:36):
what confidence your career? But you'renot a Hall of Famer, but but
a really good player. If hewas there was, I'd be like,
okay, cool. But more Ithink the most important part of this is
I always find it finding when theplayer retires a year after the league told
him they were retired because he hadwhat he played forty one games for Boston
last year and he wasn't like It'slike, hey bye, we're god,
(02:58):
we don't need you anymore. We'reokay, right. Nick's like had every
big man on the planet get hurt, Like now we'll just keep bringing back
Todge Gibson like, you're good,you stay up it. Hey I heard
you're working on your stand up comedy. Good good luck, buddy. That's
another case of you know, ifyou were retired earlier, you might be
a Hall of Famer. Wait whatyeah, because he did spend like four
years in Detroit, and some peopleforget that actually happened. It's like,
(03:22):
hey, hey, if you wereretired earlier, you might have beat the
NBA two retiring. We'll move ona story. Number three. Blake griff
An awesome player, fantastic, hemight be in comedy. And also you
were like, wait, what hereally wants to do like acting. He's
actually pretty funny. He really is. I can't think of the commune.
Jeff Ross, No, no femalethere. Nicky Haley, Oh my god,
(03:45):
nick Haley g hy, Nicky Glazer. Yes, she they were on
some they were on a rose together, and she's just she was. She's
hitting on him the whole time.I was like, that's not he can't
be funny. You can't him andMatt Rife like, Matt need to go
away. Okay, you can't begood looking and funny. It's not fair.
I thought Rife would be funnier.You know, he's so big on
TikTok. I'm very he's a crowdwork guy. Crowd work guys are hit
(04:10):
or miss because if they end upin like a respectful crowd, they're gonna
get there. It's gonna be pooringfor a crowd work guy. You need
somebody to do something, but crowdwork guy, it's like, are you
really that talented with the jokes andthe setups are fast? I'm a crowd
work guy. I can do crowdwork all day long. I just I
can't do the same joke over andover. There's a skill to doing the
(04:30):
same joke a thousand times and beingand telling you each time it's the first
time you told it. That's Ican't do it. What other thing on
CrowdWork? What Rife's problem could beis that people want to be that person
and then it becomes like a I'mgonna say something stupid and like now he
has to play off all the dumbpeople in the crowd and you're laughing,
(04:50):
say, oh, he worked inradio before. I mean. It also
could be that he's just you know, he's okay. He's not great,
he's okay, but he's pretty,so the girls want to go see him
and he's pretty. Sort of guysdon't want to know that. Dot them
shot. That's more Levac's rock days, not with the sports side. The
rock stations in the past. Interestingcountry fans you've dealt with in the past.
(05:12):
Coutry fans at least usually trade theshirt, So that was nice.
We'll move on to story number threehere. New York teams and action tonight
include the New York Mets taking onthe Pittsburgh Pirates seven ten, the Boston
Red Sox and Guardians back at Nightseven ten. Have some issues with the
Red Sox fans, by the way, I might get to that before the
show ends. Finally, finally youwake up join the right side of this
(05:33):
Yankees in Blue Jays seven oh seven, Wolf Lad Guerrero Junior hit a home
run. You might have to findout my take on that in about forty
five minutes. Orioles twins as well. This seems like an interesting night in
Major League Baseball. Astros Braves aswell, Lavac. We're at this point
in the season now where it feelskind of even. I know there are
(05:54):
some teams like the Yankees that arepulling away a little bit, but when
you look at the stadius across MajorLeague Baseball, besides some bottom feed like
the Marlins and Rockies and White Sox, it's a pretty balanced start to the
season. We're looking at teams almosttwenty games into this, like okay,
like there might be a stretcher wherea lot of teams are in contention at
least for the first twelve percent oneeighth of the season. Yeah, I
(06:16):
mean it's a little it's a littleearly, but I will, I will.
It's it's got to be a littlecrazy to be down nine, eight
games even six this early. We'rejust started. How did that happen?
Right, it's wrong. I'm moreI'm more concerned like where you're looking at,
go ehy, But it's kind ofclose still, like, yeah,
the race is just beginning. Thefact that like the White Sox ran backwards
(06:39):
to start the race, that that'smore concerning to me than than in the
like the Marlins, Like what,you were a good team last year,
you played solid baseball, that thatkind of stuff. Like I almost feel
bad for the Rockies, Like Ithink the Rockies just ended up in Like
the Rockies came out looking like me, and then all of a sudden,
(07:00):
like the you know, the UALBNY track team ran out next to them.
It's like wa wait, oh,come on, I'll catch up.
Like that's I feel bad for that. The White Sox, Rockies and Marlins.
They're in all different spots. Wholike the Marlin you said, playoff
team Last season, the Rockies lookedat the West and Nolan Aernato has been
really when their whole franchise changed onthe deltam Way, it's like, we're
not gonna do this, Like we'renot gonna catch the Dodgers, We're not
(07:21):
gonna just the Giants. We gottafigure out another way to win. The
White Sox blew it. The WhiteSox could have been a team that could
have been a ALCS finalist, aWorld Series contender. They had all the
prospects, they had everything lined up, but their general manager and their manager
both stunk so bad out loud theyfinally had to fire him. Tony LaRussa
(07:44):
wake up, He's still in theduga. That's okay, Hi. Everything
from the White Sox. They gotrid of their best players, couldn't figure
it out, they got rid oftheir broadcasters. They were they had everything
lined up to be great, andthey blew it. Let's move on a
story number too. Here two basketballstories around out the top foard for the
Milwaukee Bucks, according to Malta reports, are preparing to be with or without
(08:09):
Janisanta de Cumpo, the Greek freakfor the start of their series against the
Pacers, onto the Compo around theclock treatment on that calf we fact.
What do you make of the newsthat the Bucks are prepared to see this
series against Indiana without their best playerpotentially on the floor. I I can't
(08:31):
get that hopeful. Uh it's soweird because I love watching the guy play,
but he's just he's he has thepotential to be dominant, and he
just he doesn't seem to be dominatanymore. And I keep ringing in my
ears, like when he was justlike, yeah, it's so what you
lose. Sometimes it's like I thinkhe's okay with losing, which freaks me
(08:52):
out a lot. But no,it's hey, if he wants to take
a little break, If and beingwants to take a little break, rest
up a little bit, you're readyfor next season. As a Knicks fan,
I'm okay with it. You're okaywith it. I'm you know,
listen, I obviously I'm willing tosacrifice great television watching great matchups with two
(09:13):
of the best bigs in the historyof the game, you know, just
just to uh just just because I'ma good person. Look at the new
knicks. I don't and I don'twant to, you know, I don't
want them to get hurt, youknow, and I want them to be
ready for twenty twenty five. Sothat's a fresh new Knicks for a minute.
I just don't wear it off.Oh you know it looks good.
Only bring it out when it's needed. Antkumpo is the modern day Shack.
(09:35):
Feel old of that comment, Themodern day Shack. Yes we're doing this.
No way, no way. Youcan't do that here because shaquld kill
you to win a game. Statistically, thirty plus points a game, over
sixty percent from the field, elevenrebounds you. If you put Shack's career
stats against Anton Cumpo's career stats,I think he'd be shocked how similar they
(09:56):
are. Now the injury with hisbody, dude, like you've suggested,
loadman management now, it's the besttime to do it at the postseason.
I know, with a bit ofsarcasm there, but boy, you've heard
me give this a bunch guys likethat with lower body injuries checked out there
my feet. But I'm gonna donkon you and then like on Goob's out
there, like, I don't feellike playing the Bucks that I had trouble
(10:16):
with or without him, We don'tknow the answery. Indiana is a good
team, like they prepared that rosterfor it. Poor Doc Rivers. I
finally get to prove them I'm notthe problem. Damn, it's a lot.
He's a lot of honest blake.You won't come back. I just
imagined Mike Boodenholzer somewhere with a bigfat cigar, his feet up, He's
(10:37):
like, oh, you thought itwas my fault? Oh yeah, joy
that what's that broadcaster working for you? Yeah? Move on story number one.
It's the NBA playing tournament tonight.Two games will start figuring out what
those matchups look like. In theWestern Conference tonight, Eastern Conference tomorrow.
Western Conference tonight, the Lakers takingon the Pelicans step off set for seven
thirty, followed by the Warriors andKings at ten o'clock. Well back,
(10:58):
I'm telling you right now, Iplay the day is coming up, involving
both of those games at about fortyfive minutes. These games would be a
lot more exciting if Kevin Herder wasplaying for the Kings of his healthy,
season ending surgery on his shoulder.If the Warriors were younger Warrior, if
Lebron was younger, if Zion decidednot to get fat a few seasons earlier,
(11:20):
they had a better I think Zionlooks pretty good right now. Okay,
he does in comparison, what areyou still? Yeah, I'll give
you that. Then all you gotfor it? That's it. He looks
fine. He's Duncan. That wasyour boy. I gotta tell you,
I think your point about Sacramento isone hundred percent right. I think I
don't think they're healthy enough to beGolden State. But I the Pelicans could
(11:43):
play spoiler in the league's plans.I might. I might be a little.
I gotta look, I haven't Ihaven't done the numbers yet, and
we've got the Pick of Day comingup. I might dabble with a little,
a little Pelican's Golden State play inParlayo. It looks like double that
looks like we're both going the samedirecting. All right, for the Play
of the Day and Vols playing again. Listen, man, all right,
(12:03):
Lakers are good, but I couldsee the Pelicans playing spoiler. They're they're
a good team. And then GoldenState needs to win to get in.
Then you get then you get yourGolden State in LA matchup that you've been
waiting for so feverishly. They lookat me thinking of you a good friend,
Thank you, You're welcome. Ineed them the win tonight, Tholks.
(12:24):
I'm no, I'm not giving myplate. That's the top four to
four smooth as always, smooth likebada. Oh man, you know it
was. It's funny. We weresitting here earlier today and I heard the
Malibu commercial for uh, for MohawksChevrolet, and I was like, huh
is that what's going on? ThoseThat was a march thing turs out.
(12:46):
They still have enough Malibus that theycan do a great deal for you with
Malibu. They can do a greatdeal for you with the Equinox. I
was. I was at Mohawk Chevrolettoday for a couple of minutes, Uh,
just stopping through, talking a littlebusiness. Make sure everything' where it
belongs, make sure I'm doing allright. They're they're okay, checking in
love the people there. They gotthe Bison out front, which is insane.
(13:07):
They got all these great Camaros.Everything. The selection like turns my
head every time I pull it alot, there's a there's a Silverado there
that is this like slate gray,Like it's a weird gray color. And
I at first my first thought waslike, I don't like that, Like
it's a beautiful truck, bad color. I started thinking about, like,
(13:30):
but it's I can't not see itevery time I go through. It might
be the perfect promotional vehicle, Likeif you have a business, go over
to marks every and be like thatthat weird gray Silverado that Lavac was talking
about pointed out to me, andthen they got rap kings on the lot.
They can put your logo right onit. It's it's basically whatever it
is you need in the world ofvehicles, Mohawks Evyley can do it for
(13:50):

I'm in a different studio. Thisis a very Howard and Robins scenario.
(19:25):
But back and I are not inthe same room. Host, get
some of this thing right behind theglass. I got this new hot sauce
I've been working with fine. Ruinedthe house. Ruined the house I made.
I made a spicy chicken on rice, and uh, I ate it.
My daughter had a couple of bites. My daughter's poor boyfriend was laid
up the next day. He's beenhe was laid up. It hurt his
(19:45):
tomb thumb and he got him.You can't listen. You got what you
guys gotta understand, is you youthink you like spicy food. I was.
I was born with spicy food,like it was. Every time I
swore as a kid, I gota spoonful of horse riders really punishment.
Yeah, So like now I justeat spicy food. I don't know if
(20:06):
that tells you how much I sworeas a kid. I'm the youngest of
five. I heard a lot ofwords and I replayed them. I was
bad. Now I'm starting to wonderif I don't even know what horsh horse
radish is because that's not like,oh no, roastbeach sandwiches. There's a
big place that most people haven't.Yeah, I thought it was my favorite
topping on a burger because I butlike, why would if I enjoy a
horse radish? Why you're not justgetting it played? It's like mixed into
(20:29):
a Mayo. No, when youget just just unadulterated, like and there's
levels to this game, okay,because it's like ketchup and mustard and Mayo,
Like you get that on a spoon, you're good to go. Was
No, it's like, yeah,it's like it's spicy, it'll hit it.
Like, as a matter of fact, I bought I bought something.
It's called nasal napalm. It's horseradish. You do? You do?
Is not even a spoon because Itook some of it. Oh girl,
(20:52):
I was like, wow, Iwas gonna stop, but man, I
could breathe. I could breathe.I bought that throw I'm sick. Hey,
it's vacan guys here for but that'ssales. We're ready we're ready.
I'm ready. I'll do it.I'll do it. But like, yeah,
so I just I think this isthe pardon my pun, back end
(21:15):
of of of of the Spicy ChickenNight. It was so good, but
it was Ghost Peppers involved. Soyeah, so I got some uh,
I got some breaking wind for yourbreaking news on g Y in the morninging
like that. I'll let du No, no, all right, well no,
you gotta remember I remember whose sideyou're on, you know what I
mean. I don't need this Tommycorporate kaka around here. Hey, So
(21:40):
we find out who the Knicks playtonight, No, tomorrow night. Tomorrow
night, we find out the nextplay in the first round the playoffs because
tonight's the Western Conference Tomorrow Night,Heat seventy six ers. Whoever wins,
that's who's facing the Knicks. They'rethe seventh seed, they face the two
seeds. Yes, I am,I have seen equal article on the Knicks.
(22:03):
Really need to hope that the Heatwin or the Knicks should. The
Knicks don't need that Heat. Again, the Heat have always had their number.
So there is such a like likescared in New York Land, which
version which team is going to beworse for the matchup. I still think
I think the better team right nowis and this is all about embiat If
(22:26):
Embid is one hundred percent healthy orat least healthy enough that he's a factor.
You don't want the Philadelphia seventy sixers right now. You don't.
I would rather have old Man Butlerand the crew from the Heat culture.
I'm with you as well, becauseof the matchup, because of the big
guys down low, because of justthe quality over the last ten games the
teams have been star wise putting outthe Heat is the better matchup. But
(22:51):
how you let that off is?I think really telling about New York fans
still that as the two seed,as a fifty win team, as a
team that's got a top five MVPcandidate, Nick Fann fears this opening round.
Nick fan is not confident. Eventhough the confidence should be higher than
it's been in a very long time, it's not there because at least gone
(23:14):
further. Miami went about as faras you can go without winning the championship
last year. Other teams in thisconference have had more success more recently.
So Knicks Fans needs some type oftrucks. It wouldn't be down on them.
There we go. But again,like when you look at the basically
and I'm being the two seed,right, I like to consider myself something
of a realist. I can't believethat the Philadelphia seventy six ers are in
(23:42):
the playing game. If MBT ishealthy for the majority of the season,
I can't believe that they are lowerthan a three seed. As a matter
of fact, if he was healthyall the way, and this is this
is factoring in one injury and notthe other, they're definitely ahead of the
box. If I'm GOOPO goes downlate in the season. But I just
(24:02):
with the way the Bucks have been, the kind of they're kind of leaning
towards soap opera, seventy six Erswere surpassing them. I think I think
if everything, if everybody was healthyand things are whatever, Celtish are clear
number one. Nobody's playing basketball likethey're playing basketball. They're a good team.
They play good team ball. Seventysix Ers would be number two because
(24:23):
Embiid was playing MVP caliber basketball beforehe got hurt. Knicks are three because
I think the one thing everybody ever, when everybody critiques the Knicks, it's
always they're a team with a shortleader, they're a team where their best
player got hurt and now their fourthplayer. They're a team where they're a
team. The Knicks are a legitteam, so they get three and then
(24:45):
the Bucks probably fall the four.That's if Mban's healthy. So saying that
is why I would rather have theteam that truly belongs in the play and
than the team that does not belongto the play, because now it beads
back the most telling way in whichthe national audience and how the Knicks are
gonna feel in this series, whetherit is Miami or Philly. When it
(25:07):
will really come is late when,yeah, late Wednesday night, probably around
like ten o'clock. And the placeyou're not gonna find it is on social
media. The place you're not gonnafind it's maybe on the internet. It
is sports betting apps. Yes,I know that's not a one hundred percent
of this listening audience, but thereare some that need to factor this in
(25:29):
when you watch this series that wheneverthe opponent is locked in for New York,
pull up DraftKings Fan, Duel betRivers, what Caesar, whatever you
use and scroll over to the futures. Just scroll over there a little bit
like Levick just gave you his topthree of Boston, Philly in New York.
Look at the odds of most likelyto win the Eastern Conference, and
(25:52):
if all of a sudden, NewYork gets the matchup with Miami and their
second, somebody's seeing something. Something'sgoing If all right, If all of
a sudden, New York is fourthor fifth, and I believe the last
time I checked onth they like thirtyone to one to win the NBA Final,
it might even be higher than thatthat. If all of a sudden
the New York odds significantly drop,it's like, boy, why are the
(26:15):
gambling sites not offering that right price? In the Knicks? This is a
national brand. Knicks fans are Thursday. They're usually a New York app and
a New York market. You wantto see action to draw on it.
That's the way I think you couldquickly get a read on this series is
how these sports a wagering apps viewthe future market for the Knicks. Now
some again won't factor that incause Idon't want to wait ter on sports.
(26:36):
That's totally cool. Again, mostof our wagering talk comes at the next
twenty minutes. We do talk alot on the show. That's how I'm
going to evaluate that series because I'mstill riding with the Heat is the better
matchup. But boy, if somethingstinks quickly after that game goes final between
the Sixers and the Heat, andI pull up the app and the Knicks
don't have a good number, like, oh boy, maybe it's not just
New York fear, it is nationalfear about the expectations for the New York
(26:59):
Knicks plus thirty three hundred, theseventy six years are at plus sixteen hundred.
Yeah, it's not good the Heator plus forty two hundred. Well,
then again it's join B and notlike. The thing you have to
remember, and we say this allthe time when you're talking about wagering,
is it's not just who's gonna win, it's who I can get you to
(27:22):
bet on. So there's there's alwaysthat goes into it. But I will
there's you kind of stumbled onto oneof my points here as a Knicks fan.
We sit here and we go,I don't know if I want to
play them. I don't want toplay them. Nobody wants to play the
Knicks. And Jalen Brunson plays likehe's a chip on his shoulder. How
much bigger is that chip now thathe just found out he was left off
(27:45):
the twenty twenty four Olympic team.Big, Like, what does this dude
have to do to get respect?Look at I'm not pretending to Tyres Halliburn
and Devin Booker, Drew Holliday asSteph Curry are are are not that good?
I'm not pretending that. But Ithink the team got worse by leaving
off Jalen Bronson. I can't waitto see Jalen brns is gonna be on
(28:10):
that core like angry. He's justhe's that dude is special. The guys
relate to him. It's a team. And now again you you not only
insulted Jalen Brunson, you insulted JoshHart's leader. You insulted you know,
Isaiah Hartenstein's leader. You you insultedthe leader of the team. I think
they play even better because he gotleft out. Keep I keep thinking about
(28:36):
even Timms is joking now like theylike they're so galvanized against the rest of
the world. When Tims was doinghis whole speech, I left this part
out the other day about you knowyou're in basically, you play to win
the game. He goes, whateverit is you're doing, you know you
played, you you do that towin, whether you're doing a podcast,
you do that to win. Andeverybody's like, he's taking a shot at
Brunton and Heart for their podcast.Is what he's doing. It's man,
(29:00):
just keep insulting the Knicks, justkeep keep underestimating him, keep insulting him
all the way to the finals.Part. TIBs is so confused now because
he's got a comment on podcasts,like you know you said, there's some
strays come in the next ways peopleare insulting him, underestimating him, not
believing that the same type of teamthat can do it. But it's that
(29:21):
combination of Tibbs getting the podcast hehas to comment on, and also have
you seen what the recent conversation wasabout him and Mitchell Robinson. There's a
there's a meme going viral that it'sTom Thibodeaux who has been like cgi'ed.
I believe it's Kanye stepping out toa concert and doing like a Kanye dance
(29:42):
at like Coachella. But the memesays, when coach Tibbs puts in Jalen
brunts it into the game with sevenminutes to go and the Knicks are already
up thirty, and they showed itto him and he's like, oh,
this is pretty impressive. Who didthis? Mitchell Robinson should be Mitchell Robinson
can do this? How did hedo this? He's convinced he doesn't know
what Instagram and podcast. He thinksall these players are doing all these things.
(30:06):
He has no clue of going on. Back to the disrespect and the
chip on the shoulder for this NewYork Knick team, I would group them
in with the Oklahoma City Thunder theMinnesota Timberwolves. The Thunder are the number
one team, the number one seedin the Western Conference. The Minnesota Timberwolves
are the number three seed in theWestern Conference. But it feels like the
(30:27):
t Wolves, the Thunder, andthe Knicks are all getting that same heat
of like, well, we're probablygonna be the favorite. You know,
we got more veterans on this team. The Thunder, they're not supposed to
be here. Timberwolves, what theKnicks? No like because of this lack
of tradition, everybody's underestimating those threeteams. Now, the Timberwolves have an
MVP caliber player and Edwards the Thunderthey think they do an home grin SGA,
(30:52):
they think they got MVP candidates.Those three teams are all crooped to
gather rough. Okay, if youwant teams to consider you, guys his
threats, show it to us.Prove it. Who can you knock off
in the postseason? Now, Iget it, Minnesota and okay See are
in the West, but all threeof those teams all have that. If
you want to be the next teamto step up in the NBA, here's
(31:14):
your chance. Prove it to people. Yeah, I kind of want by
the way, I kind obviously Iwant the Nicks to win because they are
the games right here on Fox Sportstwenty five, nine to nine eighty.
But if they win and the Timberwolveswin and the Thunder win, it's great
because you can actually say, hey, the NBA regular season matters because if
all of a sudden, the twoseed, the three seed in the one
(31:36):
seed get knocked off in the postseason, like you know about that eighty two
regular season where everyone said it matteredand seeding mattered, and the NBA should
want those teams to win if youwant them to I get there's like bigger
stories with lower seeds, especially inthe West with Luca and the star studded
Clippers and Durant. No, theythey should want those teams to win for
(31:56):
the regular seasons importance. Hello,you speak for earlier. We don't root
for any team. We would justwait for it to play out because we're
the NBA and we don't take favorites. And we're also not giving back any
of the eighty two games because weneed that money. And Apple give us
that TV deal. Please give ussome money well and again, like the
whole Like that is one of thethings I do. I love these conversations
(32:21):
about shortening seasons, but they're sostupid when they come to the NBA because
it doesn't matter how bad some ofthese teams are, they will sell out
an arena every night they play likeyears of the next thinking, you know
what, they didn't care because youstill sold out almost every night. Like
as long as people are buying ticketsand watching the television and the money's coming
(32:42):
in, they're not nothing shrinking.Nothing's happening, ain't happening. There's no
cold pool in site, my friend, no shrinking. Uh listen, what

(38:43):
out of their way to please you. Just off Extra twelve of the North
Way lavac before we get to ourplays. I wrote something here on the
show is that it just says vacum. Oh, it says Daniel Jones story.
Yes, if you haven't seen it, WOFX ninety x on Twitter.
It is over a million views nowof Daniel Jones addressing the media yesterday.
(39:07):
If you haven't seen the video,find it, Google it, go to
our social media page, like it, share it. The best thing I
can compare it to is Adam Gase'spress conference when he was introduced as the
new head coach of the New YorkJets, where his eyes are kind of
bugging out of his head, andthen people had the fake tacos that he
was staring at. Something's going on? Is mL football set on Twitter?
(39:31):
Something's going on weird with Daniel Jones. Now, it's not fair to accuse
people of doing certain things or puttingsomething in his body. I would just
watch the video of Daniel Jones inwonder. Maybe he's on pain medication,
Maybe the camera's too close to hisface, maybe it's weird lighting. Something's
(39:52):
going on that is concerning in thisvideo about his facial features, his eyes.
I'm just assuming again, don't yellat me Big Jers on Fox Sports
nine eighty, WOFAX nine eighty onTwitter right now, I would say,
by looking at him in the DanielJones video that's posted, it looks like
he's on pain medication that's a littletoo strong. It looks like percosets.
(40:16):
Maybe just guessing here. I believethat's a pain medication. That's my guess,
and I my research I've done onthat is that Kurt Angle is also
going viral over the last few weekssimilar like it's I tried to watch his
eyes and the like instantly mine almostcrossed. I bring it up because we're
(40:37):
nine days away from the NFL Draft. You said earlier in the show,
like you know, there might besome things to be concerned about with Daniel
Jones about how he's rehabbing. Nowthat video is a little concerning about how
he physically looks. So I willsay this, I don't think he likes
being in public like he's I don'tknow if he's Rick Williams level where remember
(41:00):
Ricky Williams used to do the interviewsafter as he would have his helmet on
so he could have the visor tokeep between him and the people. I
think I think the press makes DanielJones uncomfortable and and my only my only
evidence for that is every single interviewI've ever seen of him where he just
done, he's I've never seen himlook comfortable. And in Kay Adams used
(41:22):
to have him on weekly and henever said anything. He just kind of
was like, he's like, he'snot that dude. I don't think,
uh, there was. I thinkit was might have been the Miami I
think it was the Miami super Bowl, the last one we covered before for
Vegas. There was some cornhole competitionand they had him going against Sam Darnold
(41:45):
because they were both they're both hereand Donald's kind of having fun with it
and he's like, you know,throwing the bag and laughing a little bit.
Dale Jones is like robot man,just nothing, just not gonna.
I think he's just weird. Okay, you get talking drugs, you might
be right, could chalk up tobe an uncomfortable, weird, odd setting.
(42:07):
It could be true. I wouldjust say if I was a giant
fan and I saw that video thatdoesn't look like a normal Daniel Jones press
conference, I think that's fair tosay whether it's And again I just assumed
pain medication because he's battling through aninjury, and we saw similar athletes on
social media with a similar look doingthe same thing. I'll just toss that
(42:27):
out there if you're a giant fan. That is going viral today. Daniel
Jones talking about how he's recovering andgoing for the future. Yeah, it's
just again, it's and it's anuncomfortable he knows what's out there. Like,
can you imagine if you knew youwere out or you knew that like
your time was limited at best,and hey, go go talk to them.
Okay, Hey, uh, DanielJones, how you doing good?
(42:52):
How's it feel to go go frombeing vanilla vic to fired? It's been
better, you know, a littleworking on rehab whatever. But I do
I think he's I do I thinkhe's just an awkward dude. Well never,
I hope get to the point inthe history of pro sports or college
sports when we break down too muchof a press conference, Like the fun
(43:13):
cliche thing to say is they wonthe press conference. You know what?
You know what, Actually, letme ask you something, because you you
know, mister Heisman and all thoseall those things, and you've never been
a Dane Jones fan. No,even when he beat your Buccaneers while we
were on the bus to the Bronxreturning, I blame the kicker. But
fine, Fine, when you seethis, the athletic ability that he has
(43:36):
because he is he's a he's askinnier Josh Allen, he's got a he's
got a way bigger arm than wethought. It's not a cannon, but
he can make all the throws.He can run for, he can run,
He can do a lot of things. He seeing him now, he
should have been at a bigger schoolthan Duke. Right, No, you
don't think he should have been.You don't think he could have. He
would have. Syracuse would have trippedover themselves to have him start. No,
(44:00):
really, the problem with here's here'sthe Daniel Jones thing. When Daniel
Jones was at Duke. He likelypicked Duke because, uh, David Cutcliffe
is the coach. Yah at thatpoint in Cutcliff, you don't know his
background. He worked with the Mannings. He was a guy who could likely
get him to the NFL. Sohe said, Okay, if I'm a
good recruit, I can work withan NFL mind, I can get on
the field if I go to anAlabamar and LSU, I might get on
(44:21):
the field. I can at leastplay it. Duke, you don't have
to go that far. But butDuke's of basketball school. Like I'm trying
to think like Cincinnati, like suddenlya school that even though Sincaty's more basketball,
but like known for football. Butnot that dude. That guy couldn't
light Rutgers on fire. And there'sanother interesting and think about the history of
Daniel Jones. Okay, let's saybecause I have a theory that I believe.
(44:45):
Okay, because what I was gonnasay about the Duke time with Daniel
Jones is like, Okay, well, he was in the n CC.
He was the top but was itfifteen draft pick? First rounder? He
must have been dominating at Duke.Daniel Jones was not even an All league
selection in the ACC. Now I'mnot telling all American I believe he didn't
(45:05):
make it the honorable mention for theACC. So the ACC coaches looked at
Daniel Jones and said, we havefour better quarterbacks in the league. And
the New York Giants and Dave Gettlmanlooked at Daniel Jones said, oh no,
no, no, there's only onequarterback better than him in the entire
draft class. The ACC just saidthere's four better in the conference. They
think Daniel Jones is only not asgood as Kyler Murray, and I'm assuming
(45:28):
Kyler Murray because Kyler Murray went one. I don't know where Kyler Murray or
the late Dwayne Haskins were on theGiants draft board. If my memory serves
correct, Jones went ahead of Haskins. So there's a chance that the Giants
thought he was the best quarterback inthe entire draft class, and the ACC
coaches thought he was at least thefifth best in their league. So that's
(45:50):
probably where the Daniel Jones hate camefrom. Where it's like, why is
he still the quarterback for the Giants. He had a perfect year to get
it timed up and he plays fora really well traditioned, stubborn I've been
used in that turn, but that'snot what the Giants do. The Giants
don't take a quarterback and give upafter him after two years. They have
a history of Hall of famers andtradition and got there. The Maras still
own the team. He's been througha meat grider too of different coaches,
(46:13):
cooridinators, different no targets, Likethe the most recent mock draft for the
Post has them going Molik Neighbors.And if they do that, I mean
that's a special wide receiver. Youcan't say you don't have targets anymore.
If that dude shows up, Idon't know, there's just something I if
you told me that he had thathe could have went to a bigger school
(46:36):
and fought for the starting job andchows to go to Duke because no matter
how good he ended up being aDuke, he's the second story I'd buy
it, would you know? Wouldbe interesting about that is if the Giants
decide to draft Drake May then gotanother North Carolina North Carolina right, like
(46:58):
no, Like the point is validwhere it it's like Drake May was a
highly sought after recruit who decided toalmost the same exact thing. Where it's
like, wait a second, whydidn't Drake May? And to add your
point, you know North Carolina andDuke a very nice schools. Other schools
could pay you more, like ifyou end up being a bust in the
pros, if I want to getyour money now before I have to just
something he's again. He strikes meas that dude, who's like, I
(47:21):
can do this. I just ratheryou weren't looking at me when I did
it. Like, think about thinkabout his his his best offensive play.
He trips over the turf, eightyplus yards on the ground, and he
trips on his way to and youknow, open shot to the Inenzo.
Listen. I'm not the most mostathletic human on the planet. I know
(47:42):
I'm close and know a lot ofpeople look at me and go that guy,
But like, I feel like I'mnot tripping on that one. I'm
going to the end zone. Earlierin the show, if you missed it,
Apple, I'll also get run downfrom behind. But Apple Spotify the
I Heart app. We did alittle mock draft talk today. We talked
a little bit about what the Giantscould do and that top four, top
five, top six, top seven, where would they potentially move And one
(48:06):
of the scenarios we played out becauseof Fox Sports is Nick right, is
the Giants would go to four andget Drake May in this scenario where the
Cardinals would be but JJ McCarthy potentiallywould go at three, but the La
Chargers sit at five and we knowabout the McCarthy Harbaugh connection. So Giant
fan, it's felt like it's feltlike the Giants, as you laid out
(48:27):
another mock draft, there are goingto aim for a wide receiver or another
position besides quarterback. Despite these videos, despite the lack of wins and maybe
the season ending injuries that Daniel Joneshas had, But there are no reports
nine days from now that the Giantshave any interest in moving up in the
draft. It doesn't seem like they'retaking a quarterback. Now. Now here's
what they They really could realistically dothis. They could trade back into the
(48:52):
back into the first round and getMichael Pennix or Bo Nicks and get that
five year deale I still be therein the second round. Now right,
here's different. In a second round, first round, if you trade up,
you know you have the deal whereyou get that extra year of uh
the option money wise and contracts.But here that's also an odd thing where
it's like, we really want totrade up to get bow Nicks, Well,
(49:13):
why need you to take them atseven? We literally did that conversation
with Daniel Jones, right, ordidn't they trade up to get Daniel Jones
and it's like, well, youtraded a bunch of people up to get
the quarterback you wanted. We justdon't agree with the quarterback you want.
I have no issue with you tradingup if that's who you want. But
if you want Nicks or Pennix thereat seven, get them there. Don't
don't give up picks if you wantsomebody that bad. Yeah, it's oh,
(49:37):
there's some, but it is.We have our We do our play
Lakers Warriors money line plus two onethree. So that means if you've bet
one hundred dollars tonight on this play, you two to one three, two
hundred and thirteen dollars money line WarriorsLakers all right plus money baby money line
(50:00):
Pelicans Warriors plus two twelve dare you? And by the way, probably the
largest bet I've made in a longtime. Whoa, which isn't that large?
It's still like it's decent. Andthen also like I'm gonna do a
pinstrip parlay. They've been they've beenworking for most of the time. Yankees
money line, Judge and Soto toget a hit rode on five plus strikeout,
(50:22):
Wait a second, Wait a second, rode on five plus strikeout says,
what you're missing, Okay, you'llgo ahead, s which one.
I feel like the pin straight parlayis gonna get sponsored by the end of
twenty twenty four because people are nowsending you with their pin straight parlace to
play. And that guy's a RedSox fan. No, it's just I
added rode on like that that person. But again, I think Judge is
(50:45):
gonna go on a masher at somepoint. Soto's been fairly hot. H
Yankees lost back to back, Agonna lose three in a row. I
don't. I don't need that inmy life. I don't. I don't
need that at all. And andwe just go we roll from there.
So we we hope with parlay,pinstripe, We we play in parlay.
(51:06):
We have we just there's a lotof parlay action. I might mean to
ask you why you were so hellbent on giving him in that parlay.
I might want to talk to youmore about that here coming up an hour
number three, bring it. I'mnot scared of your parlay talk, all
right, bring it on. I'llI'll parlay with you because I'm well rested.
Okay, listen, I know alot of people are understand it.
I'm rested. Thanks the Indegrave SleepCenter in Boston spat five eight eight five
