Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Big Three. I talked about the biggest stories in
the country, and I usually end with something lighter, and
this and the last couple of segments I've ended with
the fact that the Oklahoma City thunder have won the
NBA title. And then I get scolded by Natalie because
Warner Wolf, the legendary sportscaster, called and of course he
(00:23):
knows sports a lot better than I do and said
to Natalie, Hey, nobody cares. Drop that drop that nobody cares,
and so it's out and so let's go to the
legendary Warner Wolf, and Warner I apologize. I'm sorry, I
didn't know.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
No apology needed, but it will go down the NBA
Final one of the lowest TV viewed final in history.
Unless you bet on the game or were from Indiana
or Oklahoma. Nobody cared. Nobody. That's it. Bottom line of
(01:01):
the week. Yeah, the Bull of the week has to
go to Yankee manager Aaron Boone. On Saturday, Yankee bright
hander Clark Schmidt had a no hitter, a no hitter
with a nine to nothing lead against Baltimore, and Boone
took him out after seven innings because he had thrown
(01:22):
one hundred and three pitches. Who cares. Come on, Aaron,
you cheated the fans, preventing they almost had a full house,
forty seven thousand fans. You prevented the fan from seeing history.
Let him pitch. If he gives up a hit, okay,
let's take him out. If not, see if he can
(01:45):
retire six more batters and he pitches a no header.
That's a no brainer. Get him out. Meanwhile, last week,
right handed Brian Woo win seven innings and allowed only
one hit in Wu's win over the Red Sox. After
the game, Wu was asked about coming close to pitching
(02:09):
an old hitter, said, Wu Woo. That was a joke.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
That was bad. That really bad.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, that was bad, and I'll take the bill back please.
All right, now you've heard the expression getting out of dodge, right, yes, sure, okay.
Brown's rookie quarterback Shador Sanders was caught driving his SUV
truck over one hundred miles an hour in a sixty
(02:41):
mile an hour zone. Just two weeks before Sanders pullover,
was pulled over for going ninety one in a sixty
five mile an hour zone. Now, there's no truth to
the rumor that Sanders finally woke up and realized he
(03:01):
was drafted by the lowly Browns who were three and fourteen,
and was trying to get out of town as fast
as possible. That is better. That's a life time skinny
kickers need not apply. That Jets have signed six foot,
two hundred and fifty pounds placekicker Harrison Nevis from the
(03:25):
University of Missouri, where he made eighty nine field goals
in an eighty four percent success rate, including a sixty
one yarder, which is still the Southeast Conference record. Now
Meavis has two hundred and fifty pounds. He has a
hamburger named after him at a campus bar Columbus. But
(03:50):
you know what I'm thinking, if he doesn't make it
as a placekicker, he's bigger than most linebackers, wrote the Jets.
Give him a shot there, All right, it's about time,
Goodness gracious Wimbledon has finally decided to join the twenty
first century and replace their line judges with electronic lines. Yeah.
(04:17):
Now that leaves only the French open in the Stone age,
with line judges still making the calls. You know, if
you have the technology, use it. What's the matter with
you Frenchies? You know?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
John McEnroe is going, what why didn't they have that technology?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
When I played Yeah, Well, he wouldn't have the you
can't be serious yeah viral moment. His whole line would
have been gone all right. Time Now for the three stooges,
hit it all right. Stage number one soon to be
eighty four years old, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who has
(04:58):
endorsed Zorin and ma'am Donnie for New York mayor. Hey, Schmendrick,
you're Jewish man. Donnie is a Holy cost denier and
doesn't recognize Israel as a Jewish state. What else do
you need to know? Bozo?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
What what does Schmendrick mean?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Schmdrick like a Putts you know?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh thank god, I thought we had to bleep it,
but I guess.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
No. Stuge number two National Intelligence Director Tulci Gabrick, who
said Iran did not have nuclear weapon capabilities. Come on, Tulci,
you're the director of National Intelligence who gave you the intelligence.
(05:51):
Dumb and dummer Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels and Stuge
Number three California Governor Gavin Newsom, who was seen at
a wine tasting event in Napa Valley, while paid rioters
and protesters burned Los Angeles buildings, cars, and looted stores
(06:15):
and forced the National Guard to come in and protect
your city. Newsome referred to the rioters as peaceful protesters. Hey, Gavin,
easy on the sauce. We saw the rioting on TV.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I can't believe he did that again. Remember during the pandemic. Yeah,
but he was out in some plush restaurant when he
closed the rest of the state down. What he has
no sense of himself.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
No, that was that was the laundry restaurant.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And finally this day in sports Larry June twenty third,
nineteen seventeen, Red Sox left pander Babe Ruth, who people
probably forget, won ninety four games as a pitcher before
coming to the Yankees as a full time right fielder.
So in this game, he walked first, battery faced, he
(07:14):
argued with the umpire, He was ejected and then hit
the umpire in the back of the head and was
fined and suspended. Red Sox right inter Ernie Shore then
came in and retired all twenty six batters he faced.
The leadoff man was caught stealing, so Suore is credited
(07:38):
with a no hitter because Ruth was thrown out. By
the way Ruth was fined, how things have changed. He
was fined only one hundred dollars and suspended one week.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's probably like five thousand today, though, Real quick before
you leave, do you think the Oklahoma City Thunder can
repeat his end champions?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Not only don't I know, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
They're great legendary sportscaster. Waterwall, Thanks so much, Water
