Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bloot going on in sports. So let's get right to
Warner Wolf.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Legendary sportscaster. Warner Yeah, Hello, Hey, you're on it.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
I thought you're going to ask me a question.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
No, no, no, no, no, you're too Warner. You're well prepared.
I get right to you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Ok, well you gotta ask, you know. Aaron Boone keeps
taking out Max Freed. The guy is six and oh
he should be ten and oh is Aaron run averages
one point twenty nine. Man, if they had to vote
for the cy Young, he would win it right now.
So last night he takes him out of a two
to two game, which the Yanks one, eight to two.
(00:41):
Two other games he took him out and he allowed
only one run in each game, and then the opener,
he took him out after four and two thirds. One
more out and he gets a win. Let him pitch man.
He may be the best pitcher in baseball. Change the role.
The three point shot has made a joke of the game.
(01:01):
In the next Celtics six game series, the Celtics took
two hundred seventy seven three pointers. They made only ninety
seven the Knicks. Yeah, and the Knicks took two hundred
and two three pointers they made only seventy one. That
means the Celtics and the Knicks missed three hundred eleven
(01:27):
three pointers combined. I'm saying, change the rule absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Just imagine what would Michael Jordan do in the game
right now. The excitement about Orton was, Yeah, it was
flying through the air to dunk the ball.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, well, I would look at the Jerry West and
Oscar Robertson. I mean all those long shots were only
two points.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, You're right, Pete.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
They always talk about how how many more points Pete
Maravich have had he could shoot way out there.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
So I'm saying, instead of the current twenty three feet
nine inches and twenty two feet from the corner, change
it to thirty feet around the arc. The twenty two
foot shot would have become a two point shot like
it used to be. So I'm saying, put the basketball
(02:24):
back into basketball, move the ball around, bring back the
emphasis on the midrage jumper. Wow, stop the game from
just being three pointers and dunks. I think it's hurt
the game, Well.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Said, give yourself a bet. Yeah, Bill, there you go.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Now. The NFL schedule released last week, what a difference
a year makes. After showcasing Aaron Rodgers and the Jets
last year, the Jets have only two primetime games out
of seven, and apparently nobody wants to see the Giants
(03:04):
and Russell Wilson except for Giants fans. They only have
three primetime games out of seventeen. But don't feel too
bad that Titans, Browns, and Saints have no time no
primetime games wow, and the Jags and Panthers have only
one and the schedule makers, man, it didn't do the
(03:28):
Giants any favored. The Giants play the Chiefs, the forty
nine Ers, the Packers, the Lions, the Vikings Chargers, and
get this, they play the Eagles twice within three weeks.
That's a terrible schedule, all right. So who should the
Hall of Fame Committee now vote into the Hall of
(03:52):
Fame now that baseball reinstated sixteen players, well, of course
Pete Rose, and especially now with even Baseball telecast including
ads for betting and bookies and casinos, that should be
a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
First ballot guy won a first ballot for Pete Rose.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It should be I don't see why not. He didn't
cheat the game like Bonds and a Rod and Clemmens
and others. They cheated the game. Rose didn't cheat the game.
He just bent on the Reds to win. And now
with all his betting, I mean, it's kind of hypocritical
(04:35):
if he doesn't. And those eight White Sox players nineteen
nineteen banned from the series. Joe Jackson hit three seventy
five in the series with no eras he should get in.
And the third baseman, Buck Weaver, almost a three hundred hitter.
(04:57):
He didn't take part in the fix, but he was
banned because he refused to report the bribe. So I
think those two from the White Sox situation, the other
six are not going to get in. The first baseman,
Chick Gandle, he's the one that took in the gamblers.
(05:19):
That's who the gamblers got to. Then you had this
reserve third baseman, Fred McMullen. He told his teammates, cut
me in on the deal or I'll squeal. He's not
getting in. And then the shortstop Swede Risberg, here's a
pretty good hitter. You know what he hit in the
(05:40):
World Series point zero eighty. Wow. And the last guy's
not going to get in. Lefty Williams was a twenty
three game winner. He suddenly went zero to three with
annun average of six point sixty one son, and then man,
(06:01):
all right, time now for the three stooges. All right,
we've got two lying stooges and a dumb ass stooge.
The first lying stooge, The first lying stooge Iran UN
speaker Ali Reza miro Sufi, who says Iran's nuclear program
is for peaceful purposes. Peaceful purposes, then why keep out
(06:27):
the nuclear inspectors if you have nothing to hide? Man,
don't do what the rest of the world did in
the nineteen thirties, just sat back and watched as Hitler
built up the military for Germany despite the verse I
Treaty which banned the military for Germany. Stooge number two
at liar number one former FBI director James Komy, who
(06:53):
was questioned and testified questioned by the Secret Service last
Friday and said he just happened to find a bunch
of seashells in the sand while he was walking along
the beach of his vacation home in May and that
spelled out the numbers eighty six, And you know eighty
(07:16):
We used to see eighty six the guys you get
rid of them. And forty seven, which happens to be
President Trump, the forty seven president of the United States.
Komy took a photo of eighty six forty seven and
put it on Instagram. You know, Comy was the head
(07:37):
of the FBI and he didn't know what eighty six
forty seven stood for. On then, and the third stooge
of the week any Semitic Zoram Mandanny, who was running
for mayor of New York City. First he wouldn't sign
(07:57):
Israel's right to exist on the seventy seventh anniversary becoming
a state, and then he refused to recognize the Holocaust.
A dumbass man, Donnie, You ever heard of the Nuremberg Trials?
If there was no Holocaust murdering six million Jews and
five million non Jews, where did the eleven million people go?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Excellent, very good Warner Warner Wolf, legendary sportscaster with his
commentary at the end, which was perfect.
