Speaker 1 (00:00):
What an awful weekend it was for New York sports fans.
And somebody that's been covering New York sports for a
long long time has to have a perspective on this
weekend on how bad it is compared to past weekends.
Warner Wolf, legendary sportscaster, is with us every Monday at
(00:21):
this time. One of this was pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I've seen it before, Lari won't be the last time.
But I'll tell you what the good news for the
Giants for now one and four. Jackson Dart the guy's
exciting and barring an injury, he's going to be around
a long time. But he threw for only one hundred
and eleven yards last week and just two hundred and
(00:47):
two yards yesterday with two interceptions lost to fumble. That's
not going to do it. You've got a hit for
some yards, and the schedule maker man didn't do the
Giants any favor. Included in the next six weeks the Eagles,
the Broncos, the Eagles again, the forty nine Ers, the Packers,
(01:09):
and the Lions. They could lose house six of those games,
and for the zero to five Jets, they were never
in the game, justin fields he could have sued his
offensive line for non support satis five times. But I
do have one question. Even though it was fourth and
(01:30):
sixteen the Cowboys thirty late third quarter, Jets trailing thirty
to three, Aaron Glenn ordered a field goal to make
it thirty to six. I know it was fourth and sixteen,
but I think he had to go for the first down.
What good is a field goal when you're trailing ten
to three and just one quarter to play? And if
(01:53):
you don't make it, so what the Cowboys still have
to go seventy yards. By the way, not a good
week for the home team. Nine of the twelve home
teams lost. The Vikings were on the road, and the
Jags are home to night against the Chiefs. How about
that robot managing by Aaron Boone? He's a robot man.
(02:17):
God goodness gracious. Now you've got to win three in
a row to stay alive. You remember Game one against
the Jays. He took out starter Louis Heel and the
third inning Toronto was leading only two nothing, but he
put in his East bullpen, including Luke Weaver. Who remember
blue Game one against the Red Sox after Boone took
(02:39):
out Max freed after seven innings, oh Man, game free
tomorrow night, likely Carlos Rogan against Justin Beaver's no relation
Shane Beaver, Seaver's just with the jade. All right, Hey,
wait a minute, talk about passing the blame the myths
(03:01):
who had the best record in baseball twenty one games
over five hundred in mid June and then died over
the second half of the season. So what do they
do over the weekend? They fired the pitching coach, their
assistant pitching coach, the bullpen coach, both their hitting coaches,
(03:21):
the bench coach, and the third base coach. Wait a minute,
what about the general manager and the manager? I mean
Collas Mendoza was afraid to make a move without analytics
and the pitch count. You know how many starters he
allowed to go into the eighth inning one one time
(03:43):
and the whole season one at a one hundred and
sixty two. That's right, that was David Peterson, who had
a complete game. That was it? All right? Time now? Four?
The three stooges, All right, stuge number one, all the
NFL new works who insist on interviewing the head coach
(04:03):
who is on his way to the dressing room to
talk to his team in halftime. Do you think he's
going to tell you anything worthwhile? No, it's a waste
of time. Let the coach alone wait till the game's over.
Stouge Number two. Whoever built that ten foot high statue
(04:24):
honoring the late Tina Turner in Brownsville, Tennessee making her
look like somebody put a mop on her head. The
sculpture said he wanted to compare her hair to the
main of Alliance.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Right now, everybody's googling the statue like I am.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Oh, it's horrible, And the Ford Motor Company is building
a truck factory near the statue. Ford should take one
of their pickup trucks and carry off the statue.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Oh, man, it's bad. You're right, I'm looking at it
right now.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's horrible. Man, she would be She would tear it
off if she she could stood. Number three anyone who
thinks it is a great idea for US taxpayers to
pay illegal aliens millions of dollars for health care. I've
(05:22):
got an idea. Let's all go to a foreign country
and come back as illegal aliens and have our health
care paid for. I mean, what is kind of thinking
is this or I got a better idea. Take all
the money you were going to give to the illegal
aliens and give it to all our veteran service men
(05:42):
and women. Those are three stooges. I've got a bull
of the week, okay, and it has to go to
the bozo advertising man or woman who decided to change
the longtime name of Maxwell House Coffee, which has been
around since eighteen ninety two, to Maxwell Apartment because more
(06:06):
people rent apartments than the houses. A lame brien. This
has the makings of the failure, like Dylan mulvaney putting
on his or her faith on trying to sell Budweiser,
which costs Budweiser six billion dollars, or Coca Cola, who
(06:30):
you remember bombed out experimenting with classic coat. Bozo's go home,
get another line of work. That's the pool the week.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
This day in sports, Yes, absolutely okay.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
October sixth, nineteen ninety three, thirty year old Michael Jordan
suddenly announced his retirement in his prime after three World Championships.
He tried baseball. He hit only two to oh two
in double a bow and came back to the Bulls
a year and a half later and won three more championships.
There was always suspicion and speculation that NBA Commissioner David
(07:12):
Stern ordered Jordan to retire for a year and a
half because of his public obsessive gambling, including gambling in
casinos the night before an NBA game. That was thirty
two years ago today.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, Warner, I was working in Chicago and I got
to interview Jordan a few times, always for news, and
that rumor you're talking about was pervasive, and there was
a speculation that I don't know if you remember when
he shot a foul shot and closed his eyes. Oh yeah,
(07:49):
that he bet on that in the game, that I
can make this with my eyes closed, And if you
watch it again, he does talk to somebody, and so
nobody knows if the bet was made. Nobody's talked about it,
but there has been speculation that hasn't died till this
day that that was a bet and that was the
final straw.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You didn't ask him, did you, No?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
No, no, no. He already hated me because I always
showed up at the worst possible times. Thanks a lot.
