Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Nine, Fox Sports Radio Live fromthe GG Toys Studio. That's Toys with
the D it is lebacking guys,uh flock University. I don't know why
this one uh University counting up latertonight live Promooters and that's it. I
mean, you know, a littlenothing going on in New York sports,

(00:21):
my friend, not at all.I think it's a quiet, quiet day.
So don't make that face. Whatis that face? I can confidently
say today, on this final Wednesday, in the month of June twenty twenty
four, the month that's right,the month of June twice, the month

(00:41):
of June, the end of theLord. There is not a single sports
talk radio host across the Great EmpireState that is happier that we get to
get distracted by the awful play ofthe New York Yankees from last show more
almost make it all the way backone than Jeffrey anne Levac sits across from
me. He thought we were gonnaopen the show talking about the Yankees.

(01:03):
No, no, no, whatthey were dude, big comeback? Five
runs late. Come on. Wewill get to the Yankees later on.
But mister Bridges distracted us late lastnight. You and I were texting about
it. About the what no butno good story? That's probably the number
one story. That's what everybody caresabout the most. I think is the
Nova four We will get to likesuperheroes. We will get to that as

(01:26):
well. With us is the NovaNicks. But something else has happened over
the course of the last I don'tknow twelve hours. We'll say I see
something. There's some weird stuff goingon involving a certain local team. What's

(01:46):
going on with the Valley Cats.No, it's not the Valley Cats.
The Patroons are up to no good. It's what about those thunder I don't
trust them. Had nothing to dowith the Waterful Piana Saints with your boyfriend
Jerry McNamara, nothing to two withthem? All right? What is it?
Well? Fact, do you wantto comment on the social media rumblings
going on involving the Alminy Firebirds andthe Arena Football I'm ready again, aren't

(02:13):
I talk about that? All ofa sudden, I'm pretty, aren't I
Griffin has Tommy Valentine to name afew who have been blown up my phone
in the last five ten minutes.All of a sudden, I'm pretty everybody
wants to go to problem me again. Huh uh. All right, let
me let me be very very veryvery very clear. This has been a
tumultuous, crazy, insane, weirdyear for the first year back for the

(02:42):
Arena Football League. But the peoplewho cause the issues are not here anymore.
The people who are here, JeffFisher, Jerry Kurz, Gary Compton,
just name a few, are doingeverything they're to not only fix any
of the issues that are still herefrom the previous regime, but they're trying

(03:07):
to build something special moving forward.Doctor Jen Welter, who just joined the
front office as the chief marketing officer, having a chance to doctor you yet,
But she's a freaking legend. Sheactually played in the IFL. She
did yeah, oh yeah, ohyeah. She a bad woman. So
they have a plan and what they'redoing. And I'm saying all this for

(03:28):
the reason of guys. I willanswer your questions, but I don't have
a state because they have a waythey want to do everything. If you
want to talk about what is beingsaid by Orlando and others certain news outlets,
I'll respond to those, But theleague has a plan on what they're
doing, and I do not wantto get in the way of their plan,

(03:49):
because I think it is a verysolid and smart plan. Let me
go over what's happened, I thinkfurther back then. I don't think you
and I have commented on that Isee out there now that's on the seventh
day the load rest. Did theplayoff format changed? Yes, I don't
know if we addressed that with coachwhere yesterday confused that I believe that,

(04:11):
Yeah, that's been made official.I believe at least I think it's official.
I'm confident to say. Yeah,So it's six teams now instead of
five, which I like this better. The five always kind of weirded me
out, if I'm being real withyou, Like it felt like a weird
cut place right, like like justone game on your quote unquote wild card
weekend. So now it will beone and two. We'll get to buy

(04:36):
and the other teams will fight itout for the rights to play one and
two. So as of this moment, Billings is the one seed. Albany
is the two seed. So thoseother teams would fight for the right and
they were gonna buy and they wouldfight for the right to play all many
or Billings. Okay, Yeah,that's that's a significant change and it was

(05:00):
weird though if you think about it, and like you tell me if you
don't agree with this, I almostfelt like the two seed had an advantage
over the one seed because the twoseed knew who they were playing for two
weeks, because the three seed wouldget to buy as well, So the
two seed could sit there for twoweeks and game plan how they were going
to take on the three seed,where meanwhile the one seed, sure that
other team played another game, butyou're you're prepping for two teams that their

(05:24):
game is played and then you canhone your prep and now that it's official,
and now that it's changed, whyalmost the league was forced to do
that because of the changing schedule.Like you, and I've covered this a
lot on the show, and alot of people will try to accuse thisus
of being too Albany biased, butI think it's a real I'm extremely omni
biased. Both of our paychecks aresigned by the Firebirds. Yeah, you

(05:45):
do a pretty good job of stayneutral, but I let's be honest.
My day job is to do what'sbest for the Albany Firebirds, you know,
and because of that, we getcertain access that no one else gets.
But because of that, I alsohave to be very cautious, because
I need to make sure that we'rein good standing with the league that I'm
really starting to enjoy working with.Yeah, and then yes. But the

(06:10):
reason I even bring that up isbecause I think common sense, whether you're
an employee of the Firebirds, arejust a fan of football or just a
fan of arena football, would lookat how the statings are sitting right now
in the twenty twenty four Arena FOOTBALeage States and say, Washington's out,
Wichita's out, and by out,I mean not eligible to make the postseason.
Correct, And you've got other teamswho are battling for postseason spots.
But if you're a fan of theNationale Cats, he'd say, wait,

(06:32):
whoa, whoa, whoa? Whyare we going to not get into the
postseason because we played less games?Wait, I'm a fan of the Southwest
Kansas Storm. How are we goingto lose out a potential avenue seating change
which mathematically wouldn't change for them.But now we're out because of the five
to six. But now Nashville's out, but we have to play. But
how is this benefiting any buddy fromplaying next week if we're going to lose

(06:54):
a potential home game or a potentialplayoff seed when we've already lost our opponents
on our schedule. Everybody has hadsacrifice. Sounds like too strong of ard,
but I'm just gonna use that there. Everybody who's gone to this point
at the end of June and theArena Football League has had to make sacrifices
to get to the spot for thegood of the league. And now it
seems as if these social media rumorsout there that the league participants, league

(07:19):
owners have said, we've been willingto sacrifice this season for the good of
the league. Now we're asking forthe favor to be returned because the reports
I see out there now is thatthe Arena Football League across the board has
canceled the final week of the rankularseason and the postseason will begin the first
week of July. So those arethe reports out there. I know,

(07:41):
let's again social media nonsense, buta lot of the social media stuff we've
seen in the past, I believewe're not shooting one hundred percent from the
field has turned out to be true. I'm sure that's what Griffin and a
Jay and Tommy Valentine. I'm sureRoger over at thirteen anybody else Michael Kelly
today cover everybody. Everybody got ashot. He By the way, you
could tag at wf X ninet eightyif you're listening live. Griff just hit

(08:03):
me. He's like, Hey,just to be clear, like I've been
hitting you up the last couple ofweeks. Tommy's trying to preview the match
up like you you're kind of dukingon us for no reason right now,
that's true. I apologize, Iwill be honest like Griff has, like
like I went after everybody a whileback, and Griff totally jumped in with
both feet. So I I justthank you for listening, though I do

(08:24):
appreciate that if he is listening,he did a fantastic job on the Jackson
Mueller piece. That was a reallywell done piece, So shout the Griffin
house. Also, don't kiss hisbutton now. He also does a wonderful
job on Mondays on w G sixthirty and like in my Twitter is at
tom omg it was easy Gus,fantastic host. You can tag me on
this. Really, they they definitelyhave come back to us, back to

(08:48):
my but I you know, yougotta admit you kind of went You went
dark on me for a little bit. You went dark on me for a
little bit. THEREK Griffin, you'redead. He's busy. He's a busy
I'm a busy met too, Butyou know what, you didn't have to
go dark on me. He's beenback for a couple of weeks. Griffin
sees this and everybody else listening.He sees what he's doing here. He's
dodging my thing I just set upfor him. He dodged my question right
there. If you can dodge aranch, you can dodge a ball.

(09:09):
Diverted my setup to that to talkabout EBC ten. So the Fox,
don't leave out Fox Fox Fox Foxtwenty three. I believe he still is
guys out here working on multiple signals, and you're just ignoring one. You
heard my statement there, Yes,well, the social media rumors a lot.
Yeah, I'll leave that there.Then, Okay, how do I

(09:33):
put No, that's delicately, noofficial statement has been made at this time.
Okay, so everything you're hearing mayor may not be true. I
do not I'm I know that Iknow that one of my players decided to
put out what he believed to betrue. A lot of his information was
a little after center. We'll say, but this is all I can say

(09:56):
right now, very very soon,the league is going to update everyone I
want going on. The league willdo it. And once the League does
it, you will get the actualaccurate information. You will understand exactly what's
happening and why it's happening. Rightnow, there's a lot of half truths,
innuendos, accusations, like some accusationsout there like that Albany is the

(10:22):
league's favorite child and everyone's doing whateverthey want for Albany and whatever. It's
like. I don't know if you'veseen the reps lately. No offense,
not true, but no, veryvery I've been I've been told that very
very soon, everything will be madeclear by the AFL. Okay for our
podcast audience who listens on demand ofthe show, it is now three ten

(10:43):
in the afternoon. Our show signsoff at six. I hope, I'm
hopeful. I can't promise this.I will hope you listen to all three
hours today because it could be fromnow until five point fifty five that maybe
we're getting the beginning of flock University. No, that's what I was gonna

(11:03):
say. Flock University is scheduled fortonight. The Albany Firebirds Coaches Show is
scheduled the air on the Tommy.I'd like to invite you for some hot
wings and hot news. I seethat I saw the Hooters at Wolf Fro.
We love Hooters under the orange roof. I see the Instagram is already
promoting tonight's Flock University. I willmake up with you guys over some all

(11:24):
wings, hot news. Doctor doctormcgilli cut. You might be checking.
It might be a long night there. I'll say this. Fox Sports ninety
five nine on any does replay.Of course, Flock University Saturday is at
nine o'clock. So my hope isthat selfishly we levaking OSK can get an
answer. It's more likely it's gonnahappen at Flock University, but this show,

(11:48):
I would say it. I knowthat there's listen when I tell you
that I really liked where the directionof this league is heading. They see
the stuff right Like the people whowere in charge in the beginning, they
would see it and they would ignoreit, or they would or they'd lean
into it. They were they werethat whole, Like, Hey, as
long as they're talking about us,it's okay. These are That's not Jeff

(12:11):
Fisher, that's not Gary Compton,that's not Jerry Crews, it's not it's
not doctor Walter, that's not that'snot the deal. These are people who
are They see the rumors, theysee all the stuff going on, and
they're going to address it. Butthey're not going to address it just to
throw out information. They're gonna sitdown real quick, cross t's dot iyes,

(12:35):
figure out the right way, rightpath forward, and then they're gonna
let us all know. Now.My understanding is that will be soon,
very soon. But these this isthere's actual leadership, which all my years
of Arena football, it's I haven'tseen this in a while, you know

(12:58):
what I mean. So I thinkthe right thing to do for all the
teams, even though it's difficult becauseeveryone's got feelings, everyone's tied into this
very emotionally or very deeply, veryfinancially, the right thing to do is
to give this league a chance totake its shape, to take the lead,
and to follow the lead. Andthat's what I'm doing. I don't
like doing the idea of like Ihave to talk as if this feels like
when the Linardi would put out hisfake bracket and we'd have to talk about

(13:22):
Lonardi's fake bracket matchups hours before thebracket came out. But I'll just play
this out a little bit here,and I know I'm talking in the what
ifs at this moment, but lookingat this potential idea that the regular season
final week has been canceled, there'stwo strong takes and I'm very fascinating to
see how this plays out. Let'sdo the negative before the positive. The

(13:46):
negative of this is that if you'rean Arena Football League hater, if you're
someone on a national media outlet whosaw some of the bad things that had
gone on early on in the league, in the bad publicity that came,
and you kind of checked out,and then all of sudden you're gonna check
back in, like, Hi,how's the Areada Football They did what they
canceled the last week in the regularseason. The haters on the negative side

(14:07):
of this will be fed more hateand like look what, they go to
the keyboard and start pounding away.So that's the negative side of it.
That's all I would look at,you know, do you know, the
best revenge to live a good life, you know what I mean. So,
so like, oh, anyone doyou remember before the season started,
guys, I was like, Ifeel like this is gonna be I literally

(14:28):
said, I know I said itto you. I think I said,
I'm pretty sure I said it onthe air. I feel like this year
is gonna be that kind of yearwhere behind the scenes there's a bunch of
us just trying to hold everything togetherand get it across the finish line because
it's the first year and there's gonnabe blemishes and warts and cracks and things

(14:48):
we didn't see coming. But hopefullythe people on the outside won't see that
part. Like a lot of timeswith this show, we're in the background
when everything's going crazy and there's beesbreaking through the wall, and there's and
I'm you know, I'm getting we'regetting messages from here and the bosses need
guys to write up a plan forwhat he's gonna do on the two stations.
He run into mc keepsie during theshow, and we hope that you

(15:09):
don't notice because we're just trying todo a good show. I believe by
the end we will have a gooda good finale to this season. I
truly believe that because what's happening,I don't doubt that. I don't know
it either. I was with onehundred percent right that it was gonna be
crazy behind the scenes. Problem iseverybody can see it, you know what

(15:31):
I mean. And there's a lotof leaks and there's a lot of stuff,
and look, I'm all about peopleknowing what's happening, but some of
the stuff you're hearing, and someof that hatred that you're hearing it through
the vitriol that's happening is unnecessary.These people are allegedly huge fans of arena
football who want the AFL to failwell based on the on the way I've

(15:52):
seen Jeff Fisher, Jerry Cruz,Gary Compton just step up. I don't
think we're going anywhere. I thinkthat this is this. This is gonna
be one of those things where they'regonna look back at at we're gonna we're
going through this season. Fire Bearis gonna raise the championship banner like we
do, and then we're gonna lookback and go and then and they're gonna
go, here's the standards and practicethat the new league is gonna have but

(16:15):
right now again for what's happening atthis exact second in time, until the
league says it, I don't believeit okay, And there's a positive to
this. I know I let itwith the negative, and I know the
negative was likely you get the mostreaction of everybody via social media into our
show. And again, if youwant to chime in about what you're hearing
at the Jeff Lovaca on Twitter atTom gons TMGs easy at wf X ninet

(16:37):
eighty. Our phone lines are alwaysopening, the elevation ten thousand phone lines
if you keep it clean and tryto get some positivity here on a Wednesday
five eight six nine oh nine eightoho five eight six nine oh nine aero,
if you want to chime in aboutwhat you're hearing about the Firebirds,
there is a positive to this,and I want to make sure this is
said that because of all the thingsthat have happened, teams leaving, things,
changing, rules change, everything thatthe Arena Football League has gone through,

(17:00):
from leadership changing to everything else youhinted at this seay leadership developing,
developing, starting to feel like wedidn't have it in the very beginning.
It's hard and you said this afew minutes ago in a different way.
You have to look at the futureof twenty twenty five, yep, and
twenty twenty six. What does thefuture look like? And before you get

(17:23):
to that, what does the restof the season look like? And if
the owners, if the decision makers, if the executive said for the best
of the league, the best product, the best fan bases, for this
to look good for the future,if there's something involving, I don't know
how the coverage are going to bebroad if the neutral field, there's a
few other questions about the postseason andwhat's going on. For this to be

(17:45):
the best, we have to puta halt on the end of the regular
season, for teams to get healthy, for our players to be active,
for everybody to get prepped for thebehind the scenes stuff. You're talking about
that if you're going to go toa neutral site for the championship, who's
going to cover it there, who'sgonna go to the event, who's gonna
cover it? And people are like, who cares? Who covers it?
Well, that and I have coveredYou've covered seven Super bowls. I've covered

(18:07):
five Super Bowls. I don't knowhow many people know that every single NFL
team sends their staff to the neutralsited Super Bowl, whether they're playing or
not. So how's the arena footballgonna do that? Are they sending everybody
or they sending you or they saidthat stuff takes time to figure out.
So if you gotta pause this rightnow, no, we're going six.

(18:29):
Here's how we're getting there. Thatstuff matters for the unfinished in the next
few seasons. To be clear,you and I have not talked about this
at all. Anything you're saying rightnow with speculation is not something you got
from it. That's me being inthis field for a while. That's like
me saying, Okay, I've workedin sports media and radio for long enough.
This is how I think it wouldgo down. But I'm just listen.
You're like, would the people involvedlike, so, you've you've now

(18:52):
you've met virtually you know, youknow Mike Quarday, you know any gelch
er. Richie says that there arethere are local owners. There are guys
you have virtually met Steven Titus,the owner of Billings. You have,
you know, virtually met John Cheney, the owner for Orlando. You've virtually
met a lot of these people.Now you've met them through you know,

(19:12):
Jeff Fisher went from being one ofthe top guys down in Nashville actually stepping
into the league office. So you'vemet these people. There's powerful people.
These are people of will. Soyou you mean to tell me that these
aren't the kind of people who couldhave easily looked around and went, hey,
you know what the the heap thatwas handed to us by Lee Hutton

(19:40):
And I'm saying this this is conjecture. By the way, mister Hutton,
no need to try and sue me. I'm sure you've got your list.
We can walk away from this.We can start our own, we can
join a different we can make thisleague bigger. We could start the league,
the goz Football League, which iseveryone knows is going to be the
biggest and not miss a beat.We don't have why clean up this mess.

(20:07):
But instead they all got together withthe you know, the powers that
actually own the rights to the name, that own the AFL, and they've
attempted to fix it, to cleanit, to make it what it was
supposed to be all along. Andpeople see that as weakness. That's amazing

(20:27):
to me. Have you ever walkedinto your house and there's like four things
broken and you're like, I justwant to go buy a new house.
I just want to start over.Please. They could have done that.
Instead, they rolled up their sleeves. They fixed the furnace. Okay,
well now we fix the furnace.Well okay, well now we need to
fix the air condition. Now weneed to fix this. We need a

(20:48):
new roof, we need to sign, we need this, we need the
moon. We went through it all, and that they're fixing it. You
don't see it all. You don'tknow there's a new bathroom on the second
floor, like you know what Imean, like this, but they're fixing
it. And that's why I like, instead of everybody else who's in this
city, I was first. Itold you what happened first. I was
the one and may or may notbe right. I want to see the

(21:11):
product get built. So if ifJeff Fisher and the team from the league
say, hey, give us alittle time, let us announce this the
way we want, let us workthis the way we want, and it
will be beneficial for everyone. That'swhat I'm gonna do. So you know
and listen, you know me,man, I'm I love, I love
having news first because I know whatbothers everybody else in this market. When

(21:33):
we get it first, drives drivesour boy, Roger insaying, when we
get news before he gets it,I'm sure Griff's over here going give me
the damn news now, like no, I know, you know, like
whatever, But it's when it's right, but when it's for the greater good
of the league, which ultimately isthe greater good of the team. And
and already I'm gonna shut my mouthfor a little bit. I'm gonna wait.

(21:55):
I will tell you this much ifanything I have heard, that's the
true parts are on the level.Everyone's gonna be very happy with what comes
out next. Good, good thingsare on the way, that's all.
And that's and again, I'm I'mprobably in the weirdest presidential role in the
history of sports because there's certain thingsthat Mike Quarta will one hundred percent keep

(22:18):
me out of because he knows it'sa direct conflict of interest for what I
do here. So like he calledme five minutes for the show and went,
just be calm. It's I'm askingbe calm, and you know I'm
not. But I'm excited. Ifthat helps, Does that make it feeling
better that I'm excited? Yes,Okay, this turned out much better than
I thought it was gonna go muchbetter. I didn't know if you're gonna

(22:41):
do just I know you never sayfart noises in the microphone. That was
gonna be my my presidential retort.I didn't think this is about how it's
gonna go. But I'm very happy, you know what. I'm opus as
happy as when I'm driving my CRVaround the Campital egent thanks to our friends
in mohawk Kanda, another Force transitionbrought to you by Goussi Bear. Nobody

(23:02):
in the business does it better,hus God, whether it's the odyssey that
my wife's driving around the Campital region. We got the big summer family trip
coming up. I heard that's theshagging wagon. That's not what it's called.

Mohawkin can help me find the vehicle. Then you're looking for if your lifestyle
continues to change. Maybe you're addingthis summer, maybe you're adding more and

(23:23):
more. Maybe you've got three kidsthat will be here by the end of
this is it's true that your futurebrother in law now lives in your odyssey?

(29:41):
Now back to Levacan GUZ on ninetyfive nine and nine eighty AM Fox Sports
Radio. Oh hey, there,hither ho there? How about out Nova
little Nova next? Huh? Imean this is exciting, Like it was
funny we kind of joked about withCal Bridges coming over. I never thought

(30:04):
Brooklyn would work with the Knicks.I never thought the Nets would work with
the next And granted, what isit fifty seven first round picks or something?
Yes, what is the actual trade? They went up to even number,
but they're like they're not this year, Like, you have two first

(30:25):
round picks this year, wouldn't yougive up one of them this year?
Well that's the whole situation that madethis whole Bridges thing almost laughable, because
this is not the first time youand I talked about it, as you
reference, like this was rumored wayback in March that hey, when the
Knicks start talking about the next offseason, what would be best case scenario for
the Necks. I actually remember,I believe Levac we were at Mohawk Honda

(30:45):
where we there's somewhere in the podcastsphere, we played this whole thing out
of like who's the number one targetfor the Knicks and it's Bridges, and
I believe we both laughed. Wewere like, Yeah, that's not even
reasonable. That's not going to happen. There's nothing that could happen to make
this happen. So Bridges, accordingto the reports out there, told the
Nets, Hey, I want toget traded, and I want to get

(31:06):
traded to the Knicks. And therewas no hesitation after that because the Knicks
said, basically, whatever it takes, as they dealt to the Nets four
unprotected first round picks twenty twenty five, twenty twenty seven, twenty twenty nine,
and two thousand and thirty one.That's right, a potential fifth grader

(31:26):
just got traded. Also, theworst part is, I'm not gonna understand
it when it happens on the draftday. Anyway, We're like a protected
twenty twenty five first round pick viathe Bucks and the knickt unprotected twenty twenty
eight. Do you want me tokeep going? Because there's more a twenty
twenty five Brooklyn second round selection.There's also some moves the Nets did with
the huge so came from the NetAll those came from the Knicks. All

(31:48):
those picks correct. Wow, AndI still believe with that. Over the
course of the next three NBA drafts, the Knicks still have counting this one,
still have five first round draft picks. Well, because he even stockpilot
he is out. And and let'slet's you know, you've said this usually
you talk about the NFL when yousay this, like, let's let's evaluate

(32:13):
those draft picks. Right, Somcale bridges is what he's gonna be twenty
seven this season, I believe,Yes, So he's three years away from
thirty. So let's just grade himto well, wait, let's grade the
thirty five. Let's take him allthe way with thirty five. Are any
of these college kids, foreign players, high school students, middle middle middle

(32:37):
school students. Are any of themguaranteed to be mcale Bridges. No,
So wouldn't it makes sense to getMcHale Bridges with these picks. It wouldn't
see as simple as that, youknow, because you know, I have
had a lot of conversations about this. I always look at more so of
the NFL than the NBA, ofthe value in draft picks has never made

(33:00):
sense. The league, like theNFL valleys it far more than the NBA
does. And because of situations likethis, like why don't I just get
the best player, baseball is ina weird spot because really the baseball trades
for superstars are so lopsided that peoplejust hope that six or seven guys in
a trade for baseball will eventually panout, and it doesn't. The hope
now you can look at the thunder. Maybe what the Nets are doing now

(33:22):
is that you are really bad fora while and you start adding impact players
like a Bridge is being added toNew York, Like they hope next year
Cooper Flags like the big time prospect. Maybe they win and get that a
Victor Webinana. They got a sevento nine kid for Florida. Nobody's talking
about him yet. So there areplayers where you hope, we know we're
gonna not be very good or closerto the middle. Let's look for the

(33:43):
future, but for the Knicks back, think about what just happened here for
the Knicks. If over the nextweek or so, how fragency plays out,
there's a scenario that more than fiftypercent of the lineup that was the
starting lineup for the Knicks in aGame seven Eastern Conference semi final game with

(34:04):
one win away for playing for theConference finals against Boston is heading to the
Knicks bench. The Knicks got somuch better than most of their starting lineup,
but the biggest game of the seasonwon't even be starters next season.
Well, and so your starters rightnow like this, everybody I know a
lot of people are reacting. Theythink this means og and Andoby's gone.
They think they fill a similar role. The reports are that og is gonna

(34:30):
opt out, which is his rightto do, and the Knicks will bring
him back. They will because theycan go over the salary cap. They
are the luxury tax. They cango into that to get him because they
have his bird rights. You haveto imagine a scenario where now you've got
og Andnobi and Michil Bridges defending againstJason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. And look,

(34:52):
I'm not saying they closed the entiregap between them and the Celtics with
that on a healthy Knicks roster.Jalen Bronson, Josh Hart, Devincenzo coming
off the bench, Julius Randall back. I don't maybe I don't know,
is uh you know Mitchell Robinson.They're saying the casualty most likely as far

(35:15):
as who you could resign, isgonna be Isaiah Hartenstein. So that's that
stinks. We like him. ButI just read a whole thing on how
Jericho Sims has made huge steps forward. They've got the draft tonight. Maybe
we have some bigs in that.AH love that you beam to it.
Hartenstein feels like to me as goodas he was. And then look,
we can do the same thing wedid about Hartenstein about the players in tonight's

(35:36):
draft of is it a sure thingthat a player in tonight's NBA draft will
be as good as Hartenstein? No, it's not a guarantee, but he's
a lot cheaper, a lot cheaper. What do you think that role of
that player is going to be.I have a wish list for the Knicks
and maybe we'll get it to itlater on. Probably our number three we
want to have to push too.As long as we've gone in this opening
hour of the show that would makesense. So financially, yeah, could

(36:00):
find somebody else and yesterday, andyou'll hear a lot tonight when you talk
about the Knicks and you hear theircoverage and whether it's here listening to it
on Fox Sports Radio or somewhere else, how much do the Knicks want to
play paying the luxury tax? Youcan bring all these guys back if you
want, if you're willing to payfor them, unless you believe in somebody's
draft, unless you believe that there'san impact player, and get what you

(36:20):
want done. They had a lotof decisions and a lot of it comes
down to potentially who's on the boardwhen the Knicks are on the clock back
to back and what's gonna work outfor the team. So we really won't
have some of those answers until theKnicks are on the clock in the first
round. Yeah, but they gotbetter today, yes or yesterday. And
it's just at what point do wejust go, Hey, Tez, we

(36:42):
appreciate you, but Jay Wright's gonnacoach the team. Like it's just we're
gonna bring in Jay right now.It's it's we've we brought all these players,
let's just go get Jay Wright,let's do it. Like it just
feels such a if three dudes fromNova are good or five dudes from Nova
great. I guess what it comesdown to, like it's like it's gonna
be It's I'm really really excited.I was. I was already excited.

(37:07):
I already felt like again, itcomes down to health, and I guess
you can't build a team expecting theseguys get hurt. Even though Genobi has
has missed a bunch of time andBridges plays all the time. He never
miss his heart never misses. LikeBrunson finally got hurt at the end of
the year, but like you know, Julius Randall's hurt a lot. You
can kind of get excited when youstart seeing the matchups, Brunson running point,

(37:31):
even Chanzel off the bench for thed N three, you know,
Bridges an Ov and think at thebigs, like you know, they probably
bring Precious at you a back becausehe's he's kind of a he's a tweener
on the big side. It's there'sa lot of If imagine Mitchell Robinson actually
stays healthy for a year, theyare so much better right now. That's

(37:54):
the amazing part about this that Idon't even know if New York Nick fan
realizes the impact of what happened overthe last less than twenty four hours,
because what usually happens, like theKnicks haven't really been a part of this
in almost a decade plus. Whatusually happens is Draft Day happens, maybe,
one big trade happens, maybe,and then free agency starts to get

(38:15):
close, and that's when the bigtime superstars demand the trade. And then
we're talking about where Jimmy Butler andKyrie and Durant and Lebron and everybody else
is gonna go. That's like thefirst week of July. And then a
trade happens. So the Knicks notonly got this done, they beat everybody
in the NBA like there was nowaiting to rather, like, you know,
maybe Bridges wants to go to theThunder or the Magic or the Pacers

(38:37):
or another team. Oh, hewants to come here. Drive to Brooklyn.
Shut down all communications, give himeverything he wants. There's a kid
playing at PS what eighteen, who'sin the sixth grade. Send him over
right now. Let him into theBrooklyn gym. Tell me he's the best
thing they've ever seen. At twelveyears old. They did anything and everything
possible to make this trade happen.That again, but months ago was laughing

(39:00):
that no one said, there's toomuch you'd have to give up for Bridges,
so take it off the board.Nope, it got done all right,
So you you the deal is,the deal is in place. He
is. He is now a Nick. It's it's weird. I think one
of the coolest parts of that issomething you mentioned in the beginning of it.

(39:22):
He said, I want to bea Nick. Like remember Knicks fans,
Yeah, we're cool right now,Jalen Bronson and Davincenzo and all the
all the dudes, like, we'recool right now. But when's the last
time one of the key moving piecesin the offseason literally went hey, I
want to go there. I wantto go Blue and Orange. Not only

(39:45):
that, to come from Brooklyn tosay, hey, I know I'm a
Net I want to go I wantto be a Nick. I'd give up
a first round pick just for that, I mean, for being honest,
Like, just for that. I'mtrying to think of other players from Philly
that are like or Villeef, thatare like, can I come, please,
come on? You can't all justhang out without me, please.
Yeah, like you said, JayRice probably sitting there going all right,

(40:07):
fine, I'll do it somewhere.Joe Cremo's like, come on all right,
play at Villanova. I'm from NewYork. I know I just got
married. I got at least fivefouls to give. Is the elevation ten
thousand phone Lene? Yes it is. And by the way, Joe Crema
got to run there with the netsfor little bit. He's overseas. So
Scotia GLENVILLE'SWN shout out to Joe Cremo. Corey in Greenwich on the elevation ten
thousand phone lines elevator brand today withelevation ten thousand, Hello Corey, Hi

(40:30):
guys, Hello Corey. Uh don'tmean to be the party. So with
these picks, you got Bridge,so Bridges better or equals or will be

(40:51):
better than like Zacha or Mitchell orDurant or Uh who said you could have
got any of those guys though,but you sat all of them picked in
a player for mccal bridges. Youhope that is like the robin of right.

(41:20):
I don't know, it's I thinkactually I think the weird thing when
you tried to look at it aslike a Batman and Robins situation. I
think you miss what the Knicks didlast year. They built a team.
They have a starting five, Solike now, I believe what you've done
is you've you've lengthened your starting five. You now have a starting seven.
So like there isn't there isn't aBatman. It's the Justice League as a

(41:42):
whole. It might sound weird,but all the options you gave me,
I like Bridges better than all ofthem. Like the contract better all of
them. Yes, contract a hugepart of it. Durant's a lot older.
I don't feel like Mitchell's pretty happyin Cleveland. Uh did I miss
somebody that you mentioned there? Thatthe stand Cavin. I got old man
Taran in there. I like bridgesof them. He said, Mitchell,

(42:06):
why don't you listen to Mars Hetalks to you, said, Mitchell,
met you. Corey. Let mehandle these two fatties. Alright, Well,
I I guess, I guess Ican persuade. I guess. Don't
be back down. Corey. Youtell me, you tell me put the

(42:27):
mate and the nuts in the mountain. Tell him that I think they're closer.
I think they're closer. I'll answerthat question after the draft Thursday.
Okay, I'll give you that one. All right, tell your dad we
said hi, Corey, Yes,before the new College Football Game came out.

(42:52):
Did make the cut. That's notfunny. Alright, goodbye, Corey.
That's not that's not funny. Uh. Got a real singer in there,
huh working on that stand up,Corey. Yes, yeah, Cory
got him. You can sleep inthe half tonight. Yes, Corey,
Syracuse is in the football game.Like all the other FBS teams. They

situation? Now? The woman uhtweeted out on acts? Is it still
a tweet? We're gonna confirm insewatines. She she she said that once

(49:22):
in her life someone has called herthe the N word to her face,
and now that man has been namedthe head coach of the Lakers, it
feels weird. And and you know, I don't know JJ Reddick from a
hole in the wall. I knowhe's I know, I know he loves
being the villain, the heel ifyou will in the world of wrestling.

(49:45):
Why did it just become important thathe calls you that word? Today?
Here, yesterday? Here is theproblem with the world we live in in
twenty twenty four. Let me getup on the soapbox real quick. This
is the problem. Watch your head. Those lights are low. Hey,
random person on social media with noproof, with no video, with no

(50:07):
audio, and not like a historyof this happening, with no reporter,
with no blue check mark. Arandom person that can, for all I
know, be a bot on socialmedia. She claims she's not a bot.
That's what a bot would say.Just says this, just says it.
And lovec when I first saw ithad ten million views, yea ten

(50:28):
million. Like I've used this examplebefore, but I have to use it
because some people need to have thisperspective. People used to get mocked years
ago when on radio someone read Warof the World's the famous piece We Thank
you orson Welles that the world wasbeing invaded by aliens, and people now

(50:50):
were like, oh my god.People were so dumb back that they're out
there shooting water towers. You guysthought you were being invaded by aliens while
that person is on TikTok and allit takes is one graphic or one font
for them to be fooled by thevideo they just watched. There could be
two actors in the video. Yougotta see this dude wreck his house after

(51:10):
missing a barlay. You gotta thisdude was gonna win three million dollars on
a fifty cent bet. I can'tbelieve this guy can do to COVID,
Doctor mem and doctor Giff. Theyused to drive me nuts, like everybody
be like, oh, it's it'sCOVID causes your brain to turn purple and
pop out your ear. Well,where'd you? I read it on Facebook?

(51:30):
Facebook obviously don't you not have Facebook. So this is the world we
live in where like they have torespond to this because it goes viral.
So whether it's true or not,I assume it's not. But that's the
problem now, is that, hey, it got really popular, so now
you have to respond to it becauseseriously, this is what some people do
in social media. Wow, youryour silence speaks volumes right well, because

(51:53):
it didn't comment on it, Ishouldn't have to know. What it boils
down to is do you like JJReddick, then you believe JJ Reddick.
Do you hate JJ Reddick, thenyou believe the other person? Like that's
but it doesn't. It felt likeclaut Ja. If if one person did
something to me that was like themost hateful thing I personally ever experienced,

(52:17):
it wouldn't matter if you were thecoach of the Lakers or my garbagemen,
I would out you then and there. That would be the thing. The
fact that, as to my knowledge, she's never written about this before,
like all of a sudden, thecoach the coach Lakers and said, well
he looked entitled and still jerky andeverything or whatever, like why is it

(52:39):
bad now? But it wasn't youdidn't feel the need to tell us about
it before. If if one personsaid the most hateful thing to me that
anyone's ever said to me, youknow about that one person right now,
regardless of their job. But allof a sudden, this dude's next level
famous, and he's always been famous. Like when he had one of the

(53:00):
number one sports podcasts in the country, you didn't feel the need to post
about him calling you that when hehad you know, and like I think
she's a Laker fan. When hewas talking to Lebron James, the current
most famous and most talented Laker,you didn't feel the need to tell us
all that. But the second hegot that job, all of a sudden,
you gotta tell us that. Thetiming is what makes me question it

(53:22):
more than anything. There are someodd things that have happened in the sports
world involving stuff like this the pastfive years, whether there's truth involved to
it or not truth involved to it. I think about the Bernie Fine case
way back when, where there wasnever any evidence about Bernie Fine. He's
the coach for Syracuse, but becauseit was close to the Jerry Sandusky thing,
ever just assumed he did it,even though there was never any proof

(53:44):
of it. You could think about. Uh. Grant Napier keeps popping in
my mind. He's the Sacramento Kingbroadcaster for a long time because he posted
on Twitter all lives matter and hegot fired because of that. D just
say the thing with this doctor disrespectfulthat's out there now. Yeah that somehow
he's a video game with somebody.So back in I want to say it

(54:06):
was like twenty seventeen he had inappropriatemessages with a minor on TikTok, like
in the in the whispers. Iguess they called it. Well. By
twenty twenty they figured it out.They banned him from TikTok. Part of
the agreement was he couldn't talk aboutit because it was private, was locked
up. Somebody who worked at TikToktoday came out and said, listen,

(54:29):
this is what happened. That's whyhe was out. So now he's saying
he's like, I one hundred percentmessed around. I said, like,
I never I never actually like didit. I was stupid whatever, but
I didn't. I never actually metthis person every day. I never what
all this stuff. San Francisco fortynine ers who like have him at camp
every year as part of the gimmickbecause he d can actually throw a ball
like sixty seventy yards. Have cutall ties with him. Now his story

(54:53):
is there's a lot of gray inthere. There's a lot of gray in
there. You can go, Okay, wait a minute, you did quote
unquote groom this person. But nowyou're saying that you did it to be
a jerk to go with your character. His character is doctor disrespectful, Like
why would you think he isn't justbeing a jerk all the time. But
these are the things that are allhappening, and now JJ Reddick's name is

(55:15):
tied in with all of them becausesome random woman on Twitter X whatever the
hell it is, just said thathe said that. Someone once explained to
me. I think it was alost student that said, remember there is
a difference between innocent and not guilty. Yeah, and social media doesn't know
where that difference is. Social mediajust screams out guilty or truth because they

(55:35):
want that because that gets more.So. Yeah, I don't think it's
