(00:54):
Coming up in twenty minutes, we have more on the
Heat and the Celtics. We're going to a shocking Game
five as the Celtics show up in game four, how
they should have showed up in Game three. Look at
what's happening now, and we're going to Game five and
now suddenly Celtics and seven.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Everyone thinks Celtics and seven Celtic. But while this has
been going on.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I mean, the NFL has found a way to say, hey,
we have some changes we want to make.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Okay, are they popular changes?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
No? Not at all?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Really who likes them?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Nobody?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
But really nobody likes them. No, who likes them? Just
the commissioner. When do we send them out? Let's send
him out during the basketball playoffs? Well, went in the beginning,
when there's lots of games. No, we'll send them out
when Lebron is playing Eastern and Western Conference finals. That's
when we do it. In the last two days, we
have gotten two big changes from the NFL that nobody likes.
But if you don't like it now, well wait till
(01:47):
we tell you how both of these things are going
to be in a couple of years. First things first,
the NFL flexing the TNF games. We'll get to the
kickoff a big story from today in a second. So
you're gonna flex the TNF games, right, games like the
last five or six weeks in the regular season, the
games could be flex We have the schedule that's there,
and as long as the teams have a month's notice,
(02:08):
they can flex games in and out. Now, what games
wind up getting flexed and don't you have some pretty
good matchups. So you get the Cowboys playing a game,
you have the Steelers playing the game, you have the
Jets and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
So are they gonna get flexed? Eh?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
This may be a little more bark than bite when
it comes to it, because you're gonna have these teams,
You're gonna have playoff games, and all right, we'll keep
this game on TNF. But nobody likes this story, right.
The players don't like playing games on Thursdays, The coaches
don't like playing games on Thursdays. Fans don't like playing
games on Thursdays. Harder to get to a game, harder
to get out to a game. But the owners love
(02:42):
it because everybody watches on TV, and everybody watches everywhere,
no matter what else is on, no matter what game
is put on Thursday night, people find a way to
say I will watch it. Sometimes we get fifteen sixteen
million people watching it. Sometimes a bad game, you get
ten million people watching it, and that they don't care.
Ten million's gonna win the night. Right inside, the Young
Sheldon or the NFL, they're the only things they can
(03:03):
win the night on television. Now, if you if players
and coaches, everybody and fans who get to go to games,
have tickets don't like the TNF schedule. Now you just wait,
because what if we told you the NFL when they
want something, they get it. When Roger go down in
the league wants something, they get it. They don't always
get it overnight. They don't get it. Where we're making
(03:25):
a wide ranging, lateral, unilateral decision to make this change. No, no,
we give it to you slowly so you can get
mad about it. But then slowly we take a little
bit more. We take a little bit more, a little
bit more, and then suddenly when we make the big change,
nobody's there to fight anymore because we've been going towards
that for a long time. If you think Thursday Night
(03:46):
Football flexible scheduling is a thing, you wait, because sometime
in the next five years, we're gonna have the NFL
on five nights a week. They will play the bulk
of the games on Sunday, they'll play Sunday night game,
they'll play a Monday night game. They'll also play a
Tuesday night game, they'll play a Thursday night game, and
(04:06):
they'll play a Friday night game. Not gonna be every week.
You're gonna need to be able to work the teams
that have buys coming up in them, but you will
get some kind of package of Friday games, Thursday games,
Tuesday games, and streaming services or networks are gonna get
to bid on them because there's so much money to
be made because you can play football those nights. If
(04:28):
you play a Monday game, you can play a Tuesday game.
As long as a team has a bye next week,
you can have a Tuesday game. Or you can tell
a team you're gonna take one Tuesday game and have
one less day to get ready for a game on Sunday,
but you could play Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We already play Thursday.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We can play Friday, right, why can't we play If
you have teams say hey, you don't like the short week,
coming back on Thursday, we'll give you an extra day off, right,
because everybody plays Thursday has the following Sunday off. So
if you're playing Thursday, why not Friday?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I know the NFL had that agreement, has that agreement
that we're not gonna take over Friday nights with Friday
night football and high school football, and that's going out
the window. That's gonna go. If the NFL can make
money by putting a game on Friday night in the fall,
they will put a game on Friday night in the fall.
Nobody is not gonna go to a high school football
game in Texas, or in Illinois or in Florida just
(05:18):
because the Jags are playing the Titans. But you know what,
enough people who love football that don't go to those
games are gonna watch the Jags and the Titans on
Friday Night. It's the We're gonna get football every sea.
It'll be like when when ABC had that big hit
Who Wants to be a Millionaire in the aughts, you know,
the vast bar and wasteland of pop culture. Yes, and
(05:39):
Who Wants to be a Millionaire was this huge hit,
runaway hit. They had it on one night a week,
then they put it on two nights week, then they
put it on four nights a week. We're gonna have
Who Wants to be a Millionaire on four nights a
week and with a lot of regions and then won out.
Let's play lo wayit, let's play, let's play, let's stop
right now, let's play.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Uh yeah, the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Will do it and it will stay there forever because
broadcast television has changed forever, with streaming shows less network television,
there's less competition for the NFL on network TV. Because
that's the only reason why they wouldn't put games on
during the week is because, well, we have so many
other shows with great programming that people are gonna watch, Like,
we're not gonna put a We're not gonna put a
(06:16):
game on everything. These people are gonna want to watch
Er on Thursday nights. You know, people want to watch
Seinfeld when it's out there. But now forget it. Forget it.
Were young, Sheldon's all you gotta worry about. Right, We
can put a game on almost every night of the week.
Wednesday would be a difficult night to put a game on.
Wednesday would be tough because smack dab in the middle
(06:36):
of the week. That gets a little difficult. But if
you can play Monday, you can play Tuesday. And if
you can play Thursday, you can play Friday. So get
ready for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. That'll be there
in the next five years. If you had a streaming service,
pay one hundred million dollars for one NFL game, one
playoff game. This coming year. Yeah, guess what that's gonna happen.
(06:56):
The NFL will own every single night of the week
for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Well, we've we've been talking about this for as long
as you and I've been doing the show together. It's
it's all the slow creep. They came for the Christmas
Day and now they dominate that. Sorry, NBA, it's true.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
And now you're gonna have Black Friday game. Great, you
don't like it because you're still convinced people are out shopping,
but it's a nation of four hundred million People's.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Also the Jets, Mike.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Stop, everybody's gonna watch the Jets are gonna be eleven
and o by then, are you kidding?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
He's gonna okay, man, he can't get out of a
simple jog down the sideline to get into a huddle.
You are either in week eleven. Come on, He's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Aaron Rodgers is fine. Stop, he's fine.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I know he's fine because he stayed out there for
the rest of practice today after.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
He tweaked his calf. He's fine. He's absolutely fine. I mean,
Zach Wilson's gonna light it up. Al Michael sells you
an air fryar twenty nine ninety nine. They'll include a
court of oil to get just started on your path.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
You know what goes great with this air fryer? How
about this great tea kettle from lock Crusett. Lock Crusette's
got such great quality products right here you can Yeah,
the side of the screen will look like QVC order now.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Or I'm telling you you're laughing about it. I'm telling
you it's coming. Maybe along the line they're selling me
some sort of product in the middle and there either
that or it' say. Hey, if you're If you're a subscriber,
remember you also have the access to original programming and
some of the greatest films ever made, like this.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Remember when remember when people were upset we put the
bug in the corner of the screen.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Oh it takes away I can't watch the game.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You wait until you have the entire left side of
the screen so you can order an air fryer off
a qv This.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Tin man could be yours for Fie because the Jets
don't play with hard either.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh wow, you wait till week nine Frostburg.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
You just wait.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I'm gonna waitit till that as kicking you.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You just wait, just wait, So there's your first one, right,
there's your first NFL.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Hey, that's an unpopular decision.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That's nothing compared to today, where the NFL announced they're
going to adopt this rule for this season. They're borrowing
from college football, which is you know, the NFL loves
an idea if they're borrowing from college football, because the
NFL and the college football treat each other like it's
Auburn Alabama. So I mean, for the NFL, let's say
we're taking this rule from college. I mean they have
(09:35):
changed the kickoff rule. So now any kickoff that you
could that is within the twenty yard line that you
call for a fair catch, you will start possession on
the twenty five yard line. So we've seen this in
college last few years. You know, fair catch inside the
twenty yard line you start out there. If you call
for a fair catch inside the twenty yard line, your
possession will start at the twenty five. Nobody likes this.
(09:57):
Nobody likes the coaches don't like this, the special teams
co which don't like this, The players don't like this.
Nobody likes it except for Roger Goodell. Now there's varying opinions.
On why the NFL is trying to make the kickoff
a quote safer play and they want to cut down
on concussions. In theory, you would, although there's evidence that
(10:18):
came out today and study citing saying that maybe you
wouldn't really cut down that much on it, and it's
other plays you have to worry about more than the kickoff.
But the bottom line is this the NFL, this is
the way their world is going. They want to get
rid of kickoffs and in five years there will be
no more kickoffs. Right, They're not gonna save the kickoff.
(10:38):
This is another idea where we're not just gonna get
rid of it right out of the gate, because that
would really upset a lot of people. But instead we're
gonna start with this fair catch will be spot at
the twenty five yard line. There's a lot of outcry
for it now. Then eventually it's gonna get to the
part where hey, we're just gonna get rid of the kickoffs.
That's gonna happen in a few years. Rich McKay is
(10:59):
the chairman of the NFL's Competition Committee, and he said today,
we want to keep kickoffs in the game. I don't
know that we know we can keep it in the game.
This is not one of those This is not one
of those rules to save the kickoff. This is the
rule to put in place the beginning of the end
of the kickoff. The NFL wants to get rid of it.
The NFL is gonna get rid of it. It's gonna
take a few years, but within five years there'll be
(11:20):
no more kickoffs. There'll be some kind of play put
in if a team wants to on side to try
to keep the football after they score, because you can't
take that out of the game. So but they will
figure out a way around it. But that's what it's
going to be. The kickoffs will be eradicated. We're not
gonna have him. This is just the way the world,
the way the NFL is going. Nobody else likes it,
but Goodell wants it. So guess what we're gonna get it?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Are we really? Is he really gonna lose?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Is he really gonna put this in just for a
year just to see and then say no, it didn't
work getting rid of it?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I mean, that's what I mean. It's just a slow
slide to accepting what he wants. We're just gonna put
it in for this year, then they put it in
for this year. Yeah, we're just gonna do it for
another year or two. You know what, this work pretty well,
it's been three years.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
We're just gonna get rid of kickoffs now because a
kickoff hasn't really been a play for the last few years.
Everybody just boots it into the end zone. Now, no
one gets creative with it. It's not really a play.
Now I can have the evidence saying no one's doing
this play anymore. Everyone's just kicking it into the end zone.
We can get rid of kickoffs, and boom, I've abolished
a play and I look like I'm fighting for player safety.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That's how this ends.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yeah, a high percentage of touchbacks already the average field
position start going through all those off runbacks. How much
of a differential is there really? So you might as
well just settle in and pick that spot. Yeah. I
don't like the fact that you can call fair catch
in the field to play and advance the ball that
(12:45):
I mean, that's a punt thing have added, but off kickoffs,
I'm out. But in the end, it's it's inevitability. Just
like Roger Goodell, evidently is also going to be your
commissioner till at least twenty twenty seven, buddy.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
So still go, still go, still make the money.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
So they they slit that one in as well, that
that was expected to be part of these processes this
week as well. So yeah, the kickoff. Look as a
Chicago guy, and having watched as we did, the Dion
Sanders part of the game and some of the other
great returners, Devin Hester of course for the Bears, and
(13:21):
giving people false hope by returning the opening kickoff of
a Super Bowl for a touchdown before watching the team
do nothing the rest of the night is the stuff
of legend. But that's that's a lifetime ago at this point,
and for the NFL, as you have all these changes
and you're trying to trying to make sure at least
(13:43):
you're under the guise of being player player friendly, safety friendly,
and answering the calls from so many public interest groups
and those that have tried to have opposition to your game. Yeah,
this is the inevitable push here, give a little bit,
and then now it becomes the all right, competition committee,
(14:05):
get creative. What's the alternative.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Telling you you don't like these stories now again within
five years. No more kickoffs football five nights a week.

Okay, well we know he's from Kansas, so okay.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Then I thought you were gonna say, I will he's
broke and TJ.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Maybe Ted Lasso will carry on like his wayward son
and go back to Kansas to live.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
TJ.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Maybe ted Lasso has hit the point of no return
and we'll head back.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
To Kansas, TJ.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Maybe song right there.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Maybe the greyhounds will turn into dust in the wind
and lose, and then he goes back to Kansas.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
I think people are just upset that he ran out
of pink boxes for his biscuits.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I'll tell you, I really wish they were good, Hannah
Waddingham says, there because she says they're the worst tasting
biscuits ever. They're no fun to eat. You believe they
taste horrible. Why would she say they take.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Well?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Because she's an actress and she's apt.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
She looks like she's enjoying them that well.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
She because she's an actress, and that's that's what she's gotta.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Rubbish, perpetrating a fraud on America and international audiences.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Hey, Ray Fines was acting like he enjoyed killing all
those wizards and Harry Potter.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I can't believe that.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I'm going home and smashing my Apple TV.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I can't believe Nicholson looked like he was happy he
ordered the code red on that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That wound up dying. I can't believe he did that.
Oh man, Nicholson.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Now you're going through it and you're thinking about it, right,
going through every one of.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
These guys that have done real bad things.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Oh Manakin walks in and kills all the young lady Christians.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Had looked like he enjoyed killing the younglings on that.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I can't believe.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
I think we should a poop that they lit on
fire and happy Gilmour.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Wasn't real go to the next comic con and start
asking all the villains like he really enjoyed that, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Darth Vader looked like he enjoyed throwing the Emperor down.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Oh well, already probably did, Okay, well he probably he
probably did.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Ever watching ted Lasso again.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So we are getting game five, almost gonna say game seven.
We're getting Game five between the Celtics and the Heat
after the Celtics have a surprise victory tonight. And I
say surprise because nobody thought this was gonna happen. Nohow
who man, It was an absolute blowout. We never saw
(18:53):
the Heat make a run in the second half, and
the Celtics win it one, sixteen to ninety nine. Jason
Tatum third, three to eleven and seven and already trending
everywhere is Celtics and seven. So that's every Celtics and seven.
Even Vegas is getting in on it now because apparently,
according to the Action Network, the Heat's odds to win
(19:14):
game five or plus two fifty Celtics odds to win
the series is plus two to ten.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Wait wait what? Wait? What I mean?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Everybody is buying into now? The Celtics won a game?
Now there, Yes, the Celtics are better than the Heat,
and yes, eventually a team will come back from down
three to zero to win a series. That's going to happen, right,
You can't say it's not gonna happen. It's going to happen.
We were seeing sixteen seeds beat ones in college basketball.
(19:42):
Now the difference between low seeds and high seeds in
the NBA playoffs has never been closer.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, a team's gonna come back down from three zip
to win.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
But this Celtics team that is the biggest Jekyl and
hide act in the playoffs and can't put two good
games together, They're gonna put four good games. I don't
care where the games are. I don't care the games
are in Oh, I don't care. The games are in Boston.
Oh yeah, to the next three are in Boston. I
don't give a crap about that. You're telling me they're
gonna put together four good games in a row when
(20:12):
they can't put two good games row together, they look one.
I'm telling you that's why I said the NBA playoffs
in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics are the most maddening
team in the world because one game they look like
they could be the best team in the league, and
the next they look like why are even out here
on the floor, And a lot of it's about desire,
a lot of it's about showing up, and the Celtics,
knowing full well what is at stake for them, can't
(20:35):
find a way to do that. You're telling me they're
gonna do that four game, four games row, Mi Carven,
Not one, not two, not three.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
They're gonna do it four games in a row. Not happening.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I don't see it, not, not this Celtics team. Not
when they are when they are so up and down
and look great and terrible from one quarter to the next.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
No way.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Again, it goes back to as we've talked about quite
a bit. If you get into a close game in
late minutes, are you trust what the Celtics have given
you this season, regular season and postseason? No, you're not.
We've seen meltdowns and you give the edge to Spolstra
and the rotation that he's been running out. But I
(21:13):
do like that there's some optimism, you know, there's there's
the old old line. The greatest trick the Devil ever
polled was convincing people that he didn't exist. People are saying, now,
this is the greatest trick ever and Jimmy Butler's finest moment.
He has injected hope back into the souls and lives
(21:34):
of people in Boston, only so he can go stuffing
out when they get back home to lose another home
game in Game five, which I think is kind of
a fun and exciting way of looking at at things here.
And he was nonplused in the in the post game
being asked about it. He was fined after Game three
(21:55):
because he did not meet the media here. It was
a brief appearance, but it'll keep him know I'm here,
so I don't get fined kind of scenario. But the
door is open to your point. Yeah, it'll happen at
some point. Do I believe it happens against this version
of the Miami Heat, with this Celtics crew. No, I don't,
(22:16):
because unless it's blowout form, which you saw tonight, Celtics
made ten more three point shots than the Heat had,
and Heat weren't a great shooting team during the regular season,
don't get me wrong. And they've they've been better in
the postseason, and you've seen Strus, you've seen Vincent, You've
seen secondary players step up and give them huge games.
(22:39):
When you're looking at Lowry coming off the bench, he's
had some big moments for them as well. But I
don't think that four times their defensive acumen, their cohesiveness
is just thrown out the window and that they lose
all the discipline that got them to this point. So
it's fun in theory, we had hoped that we'd see
(23:02):
a Game five in the other series tomorrow. Sorry prospered,
but at least that parlay that I was asking Furman
about is no longer in effect, because I was like, well,
what if in both the NHL and NBA all of
the conference final series end in sweet What are the
odds of that well that's got blown up tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
So if you are the heat right and now you're
trying to figure out a way to not worry about
this too much. Like I'm telling you the Celtics, they're
too crazy, they're too up and down to Jekyl and
hide to win this in seven. All right, just stop
with the Celtics in seven. But Jimmy Buckets was asked
after the game, Hey, this is kind of a tough loss.
That are going for the closer. You're gonna be celebrating
(23:42):
with your fans. How do you avoid getting too low
following a loss like this? And this is what Jimmy
Butler had.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
To say, how do you personally kind of avoid from
getting too low yourself?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Stay consistent, do the same thing that I do that
we do after every game to some music. You know,
I'm gonna drink some beers back there, gon, go have
some wine. I don't think that you could just focus
on basketball all the time. You have to be able to,
you know, get away from the game a little bit,
think about it. But at the end of the day,
(24:15):
you fall back on, you know, your habits, how consistent
you're gonna be. And myself and my teammates. We're gonna
do the same thing. We're gonna smile, We're gonna be
in this thing together like we always are. We're gonna
gonna get one on the road.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Gonna drink some beers. Hey man, let's go get some beers.
Get Yeah, and we're gonna listen to music. Yeah kind
of you know what they're gonna listen to.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
We saw this today, big story today, ESPN had it.
One of them two smith that fuels to eat is Nickelback.
Jimmy Butler is the team. DJ plays a lot of
different songs, different genres. He plays sometimes play some country
songs other time, but they do listen to a lot
of nickel Backs, and you know, they listen to the words,
(25:02):
and Nickelback is kind of I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I didn't know if people really listened to Nickelback for
the words. I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Wonder great video of them on the plane though, singing
along to Vanessa Carlton.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yes, yes, right, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Uh It's
it's kind of cool. But I mean the Nickelback, I mean,
come on, man, really, Nickelback, I mean finding redeeming thing Nickelback,
Really you have to do that Christmas. I'm glad ty
shirts off tonight because you don't have to hear listen
to Nickelback all night. But now I'm really rooting for
the Celtics because I would rightly sold more than fifty
(25:37):
million albums.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
They're good.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But honestly, I would much rather have a conversation about
The Town, which is the movie Joe Mizula says he
watches four times a week. Times a week, I would
I would much rather talk about that because that's a
really good move. That's a very underde move, but it
also becomes a all right, explain to me how that's
helping your coaching acumen. Okay, okay, So in the Town
and Affleck needs to get a group of people to
(26:03):
work together to pull off a task. Sometimes you're wearing
none masks, sometimes you're not. Sometimes you're dressed up like
you work at Fenway Park.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Sometimes you're not.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But it's about getting a buy in and getting people
to follow a plan, even when they want to kind
of do their own thing, Like Jeremy Redder wants to
do his own thing the entire time. In the Town,
we're holding caught out on the street. Uh, he kind
of like kind of what he wants to do.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So tough.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Hawk guy. That's he now in real life he trumps
all of that.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
He is fantastic in this movie, Like I know that
that you see the go.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
He got nominated. Yeah, he was Best Supporting Actor for that. Yes,
it is. You're going to Hell, Frostburg. You're going to
hell for that.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
He is on the comeback trail.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
You're going to hell. It's so good for him, You're
going to hell. Uh, he was that.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
This is back when he was I think he was
coming off of a hurt Locker when he had that
big run like he he had, he had a great run.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
For a few years. A boy, Jeremy Renner is.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
A really good actor when he first got a lot
of credit for for what he was able to do.
But I'll say, as good as he was in hurt Locker,
I thought he was. I thought he was better in
the Town, even though the Town was a little bit
more of a of a It wasn't as an in
depth performance because he's playing more of a one note character.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
But I just thought he was so menacing and he
was so care Yeah. I mean, oh, the cast was good.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
The movie was great.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
You guys remember when we saw him in the hotel
in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Oh, that's right, we did. We did see him. I
forgot about that. When you will you walk by us,
that's right about that.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And he was, but he was not dressed as hawky
and you did not see you talking about he.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Was doing some cosplay, don't you know? Don't you know
who I am?
Speaker 8 (27:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
You know the Hey get that movie right, I'll give
you a hot take in that movie. I'll give you
a hot hot tet the town take.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Uh. That's one of the first times after I had
been exposed to John Hamm as an actor. For because
I didn't really watch mad Men because it was just
too slow.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
There's a hot take for you. I couldn't. I was
just too slow. It was so unbelievably moved it.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I had a couple of reasons to watch.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
It was so slow.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I love Christina Hendrix, but it was just I mean,
if I can't watch it for you, I was shocking.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
But no, I even watched it.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I even watched the Strangers part too, And then when
she got killed in the movie, I said, oh, I.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Need to watch this anymore. I turned it off. So
I have no idea how it ended.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I will say the one thing you know, now that
we've brought her into the into the mix, the fact
that they did a terrible job of closing out Good
Girls just still just ticks me off.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Oh did they really wow?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Because they were fighting with the male lead. He wanted
more money and he was paying the ass.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
So is like that's when John ham started to get
hot and you know, coming off of Mad and everything else.
And I watched when I just said, wow, he's really
the weak link in this movie. Everybody is so good
and John Hamm is just kind of there. And like
when I see John Hamm do do straight drama, he's
he's just there. But when he does comedy, he's really
(29:12):
funny about he should do he should do comedy all
the time because he is he's a very funny comedic actor.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But when I watch him do drama, I go, wow,
everybody's going great. They really he was that good and
Madmett really this guy really Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I guess I take your word for it, because wow,
he's just kind of there in a lot of movies
when he's got when he's gotten.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
New drama, Yeah, he was funny. But the thing that really,
I mean he's a big time fantasy football player, which
is great, but he's a Cardinals fan.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
Yeah, I'm blank him.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
So he endorses cheating.
Speaker 5 (29:40):
And to lock up what's her name up? Blake Lively?
Who who does that? Who wants to put her in?
Speaker 4 (29:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:47):
No, no, he wanted no. Rebecca Ferguson was who he
wanted to know. Rebecca Hall. Rebecca Hall, That's who it was.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Becca Hall used to be on Channel five.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
You're in LA you know, Claire, We're a national organization.
Uh so. But I would much rather talk about the
town than Nickelback. I mean I think that. I think
the last couple of minutes has proven it. There. It
was pretting death on the town and.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Nickelback is like, wow, really man, really man, and best
wishes to Jeremy Renner on his roof.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I mean, yeah, that's big coming on.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Yeah, Acid, Blake live in the town. Who you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
No, Rebecca Hall is the is the main female character.
Blake Lively is in it, but she's not the main
She's not the main character.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Rebecca Hall is.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Depending on whose perspective, man.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Rebecca Hall's the hero. She's in the entire.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
She's in the entire movie. I'm talking about the movie
The Town, not not who you like it.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Jason's not getting the reference here.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
He really did, He really wasn't.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I'm not I'm not getting the reference. That's reference. What
did I miss? What I'm not kidding?
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Get the final score.

before they start getting after it.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I didn't say a lot. I said a little bit
of Dan there.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
I mean Dan would have the Mets suck in there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
No, you would, he know, he would not have.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
He's a newsman. He hass to tell the truth.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
No, Oh, so would you judge?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Really? Oh? Really?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Harming your team is the worst team in the league.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
How dare you you watch your tongue? Now?
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Outside of the NBA?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Today it was a great day, and then it was
a scary day, and then it was a great day.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Rogers shows up.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
For Day one of the Jets, Ota says, I, you know,
I might miss some of them, but I'm here for
day one. Hasn't done it for the Packers in years.
Here he is, he's loving life with the Jets. Then
he gets dinged up at practice and he's seen walking
off limping a little bit, a bit of a calf injury,
and for a half hour, I'm nervous as hell, going.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Oh my god, he's done. He's just done.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Diana Rossini of ESPN had the story. I'm like, don't
sit here and tell me. Obviously something wrong with him,
and don't you gotta give me a follow up?
Speaker 3 (34:33):
And then we find out Rogers didn't even leave the field.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
They just gave the rest of practice off. He walked
around equipment on, he hung out for practice, you know,
help with some drills. Talked afterwards, said more glowing things
about the Jets. Everything turns out he did scary for
a little bit, scary a little bit, but then it
turned out to be fun.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
He did say something that was truly disturbing though, when
he really he's leaned into this new character in this
new life too much, because he started talking about how
much he loved the Jersey Shore and what a brilliant
television show was. Now that that's a guy that is
trying way too damn hard to get the new people
to like him.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Oh, well, of course he is. He's trying to look
he's trying to win the breakup. He's trying to show that, Hey,
my life is great. I don't think about you at all, Packers.
I can't get over how great life is here with
the Jets. This is so awesome. Here's what he said
today following the quote injury. He was, Okay, it's been
a dream month so far. Every day I wake up
(35:32):
excited about coming to the facility. I have an excitement
about coming down Jets Drive. I'm in the right place.
He loves the Jets more than I do. Man, and
that's really.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Tough to do.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, but everybody, anybody was gonna pay him here's the Jets.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah, he's gonna love who's ever paying him?
Speaker 5 (35:54):
A wonderful daighborhood.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
And Samini and all those guys are lining up.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
To so what I mean?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
He loves the I mean I didn't think anybody could
love the Jets as much, but look at him. He
loved the Jets. And let me tell you this. Let
me tell you this again. I'm gonna say this all summer.
He did not come to the Jets to suck.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Okay. Was he great last year?
Speaker 4 (36:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
But now he's rejuvenated. He wasn't into it as much
in Green Bay. He wanted out the last two years.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Now here he is.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
He's got a great lease on life. This will be
a great you're probably his best year that he will
have the rest of his time with the Jets. Watch out,
I'm telling you how good he's gonna be. He's gonna
be back to being the old Aaron Rodgers. You just
don't know. You just don't want the Jets to have
nice things. You just oh, he's gonna stink. I don't
like how he acted all these things. Trust me, he
didn't change everything and put the bulls eye on himself
(36:48):
to come to New York and suck you. Watch how
good he's going to be this year, trust me.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
True, He's already trying by showing up. So I gotta
give him credit for that, right, I mean already already
man win heymen. Eighty percent of life, they say, is
just showing up.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
That's the w right there. He loves the Jets, I mean,
come on, it's so fantastic. Twitter and out about a

(00:54):
Coming up in twenty minutes, we have more on the
Heat and the Celtics. We're going to a shocking Game
five as the Celtics show up in game four, how
they should have showed up in Game three. Look at
what's happening now, and we're going to Game five and
now suddenly Celtics and seven.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Everyone thinks Celtics and seven Celtic. But while this has
been going on.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I mean, the NFL has found a way to say, hey,
we have some changes we want to make.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Okay, are they popular changes?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
No? Not at all?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Really who likes them?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Nobody?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
But really nobody likes them. No, who likes them? Just
the commissioner. When do we send them out? Let's send
him out during the basketball playoffs? Well, went in the beginning,
when there's lots of games. No, we'll send them out
when Lebron is playing Eastern and Western Conference finals. That's
when we do it. In the last two days, we
have gotten two big changes from the NFL that nobody likes.
But if you don't like it now, well wait till
(01:47):
we tell you how both of these things are going
to be in a couple of years. First things first,
the NFL flexing the TNF games. We'll get to the
kickoff a big story from today in a second. So
you're gonna flex the TNF games, right, games like the
last five or six weeks in the regular season, the
games could be flex We have the schedule that's there,
and as long as the teams have a month's notice,
(02:08):
they can flex games in and out. Now, what games
wind up getting flexed and don't you have some pretty
good matchups. So you get the Cowboys playing a game,
you have the Steelers playing the game, you have the
Jets and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
So are they gonna get flexed? Eh?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
This may be a little more bark than bite when
it comes to it, because you're gonna have these teams,
You're gonna have playoff games, and all right, we'll keep
this game on TNF. But nobody likes this story, right.
The players don't like playing games on Thursdays, The coaches
don't like playing games on Thursdays. Fans don't like playing
games on Thursdays. Harder to get to a game, harder
to get out to a game. But the owners love
(02:42):
it because everybody watches on TV, and everybody watches everywhere,
no matter what else is on, no matter what game
is put on Thursday night, people find a way to
say I will watch it. Sometimes we get fifteen sixteen
million people watching it. Sometimes a bad game, you get
ten million people watching it, and that they don't care.
Ten million's gonna win the night. Right inside, the Young
Sheldon or the NFL, they're the only things they can
(03:03):
win the night on television. Now, if you if players
and coaches, everybody and fans who get to go to games,
have tickets don't like the TNF schedule. Now you just wait,
because what if we told you the NFL when they
want something, they get it. When Roger go down in
the league wants something, they get it. They don't always
get it overnight. They don't get it. Where we're making
(03:25):
a wide ranging, lateral, unilateral decision to make this change. No, no,
we give it to you slowly so you can get
mad about it. But then slowly we take a little
bit more. We take a little bit more, a little
bit more, and then suddenly when we make the big change,
nobody's there to fight anymore because we've been going towards
that for a long time. If you think Thursday Night
(03:46):
Football flexible scheduling is a thing, you wait, because sometime
in the next five years, we're gonna have the NFL
on five nights a week. They will play the bulk
of the games on Sunday, they'll play Sunday night game,
they'll play a Monday night game. They'll also play a
Tuesday night game, they'll play a Thursday night game, and
(04:06):
they'll play a Friday night game. Not gonna be every week.
You're gonna need to be able to work the teams
that have buys coming up in them, but you will
get some kind of package of Friday games, Thursday games,
Tuesday games, and streaming services or networks are gonna get
to bid on them because there's so much money to
be made because you can play football those nights. If
(04:28):
you play a Monday game, you can play a Tuesday game.
As long as a team has a bye next week,
you can have a Tuesday game. Or you can tell
a team you're gonna take one Tuesday game and have
one less day to get ready for a game on Sunday,
but you could play Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
We already play Thursday.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We can play Friday, right, why can't we play If
you have teams say hey, you don't like the short week,
coming back on Thursday, we'll give you an extra day off, right,
because everybody plays Thursday has the following Sunday off. So
if you're playing Thursday, why not Friday?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I know the NFL had that agreement, has that agreement
that we're not gonna take over Friday nights with Friday
night football and high school football, and that's going out
the window. That's gonna go. If the NFL can make
money by putting a game on Friday night in the fall,
they will put a game on Friday night in the fall.
Nobody is not gonna go to a high school football
game in Texas, or in Illinois or in Florida just
(05:18):
because the Jags are playing the Titans. But you know what,
enough people who love football that don't go to those
games are gonna watch the Jags and the Titans on
Friday Night. It's the We're gonna get football every sea.
It'll be like when when ABC had that big hit
Who Wants to be a Millionaire in the aughts, you know,
the vast bar and wasteland of pop culture. Yes, and
(05:39):
Who Wants to be a Millionaire was this huge hit,
runaway hit. They had it on one night a week,
then they put it on two nights week, then they
put it on four nights a week. We're gonna have
Who Wants to be a Millionaire on four nights a
week and with a lot of regions and then won out.
Let's play lo wayit, let's play, let's play, let's stop
right now, let's play.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Uh yeah, the NFL.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Will do it and it will stay there forever because
broadcast television has changed forever, with streaming shows less network television,
there's less competition for the NFL on network TV. Because
that's the only reason why they wouldn't put games on
during the week is because, well, we have so many
other shows with great programming that people are gonna watch, Like,
we're not gonna put a We're not gonna put a
(06:16):
game on everything. These people are gonna want to watch
Er on Thursday nights. You know, people want to watch
Seinfeld when it's out there. But now forget it. Forget it.
Were young, Sheldon's all you gotta worry about. Right, We
can put a game on almost every night of the week.
Wednesday would be a difficult night to put a game on.
Wednesday would be tough because smack dab in the middle
(06:36):
of the week. That gets a little difficult. But if
you can play Monday, you can play Tuesday. And if
you can play Thursday, you can play Friday. So get
ready for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. That'll be there
in the next five years. If you had a streaming service,
pay one hundred million dollars for one NFL game, one
playoff game. This coming year. Yeah, guess what that's gonna happen.
(06:56):
The NFL will own every single night of the week
for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 4 (07:02):

Speaker 3 (09:02):
You just wait.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I'm gonna waitit till that as kicking you.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You just wait, just wait, So there's your first one, right,
there's your first NFL.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Hey, that's an unpopular decision.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
That's nothing compared to today, where the NFL announced they're
going to adopt this rule for this season. They're borrowing
from college football, which is you know, the NFL loves
an idea if they're borrowing from college football, because the
NFL and the college football treat each other like it's
Auburn Alabama. So I mean, for the NFL, let's say
we're taking this rule from college. I mean they have
(09:35):
changed the kickoff rule. So now any kickoff that you
could that is within the twenty yard line that you
call for a fair catch, you will start possession on
the twenty five yard line. So we've seen this in
college last few years. You know, fair catch inside the
twenty yard line you start out there. If you call
for a fair catch inside the twenty yard line, your
possession will start at the twenty five. Nobody likes this.
(09:57):
Nobody likes the coaches don't like this, the special teams
co which don't like this, The players don't like this.
Nobody likes it except for Roger Goodell. Now there's varying opinions.
On why the NFL is trying to make the kickoff
a quote safer play and they want to cut down
on concussions. In theory, you would, although there's evidence that
(10:18):
came out today and study citing saying that maybe you
wouldn't really cut down that much on it, and it's
other plays you have to worry about more than the kickoff.
But the bottom line is this the NFL, this is
the way their world is going. They want to get
rid of kickoffs and in five years there will be
no more kickoffs. Right, They're not gonna save the kickoff.
(10:38):
This is another idea where we're not just gonna get
rid of it right out of the gate, because that
would really upset a lot of people. But instead we're
gonna start with this fair catch will be spot at
the twenty five yard line. There's a lot of outcry
for it now. Then eventually it's gonna get to the
part where hey, we're just gonna get rid of the kickoffs.
That's gonna happen in a few years. Rich McKay is
(10:59):
the chairman of the NFL's Competition Committee, and he said today,
we want to keep kickoffs in the game. I don't
know that we know we can keep it in the game.
This is not one of those This is not one
of those rules to save the kickoff. This is the
rule to put in place the beginning of the end
of the kickoff. The NFL wants to get rid of it.
The NFL is gonna get rid of it. It's gonna
take a few years, but within five years there'll be
(11:20):
no more kickoffs. There'll be some kind of play put
in if a team wants to on side to try
to keep the football after they score, because you can't
take that out of the game. So but they will
figure out a way around it. But that's what it's
going to be. The kickoffs will be eradicated. We're not
gonna have him. This is just the way the world,
the way the NFL is going. Nobody else likes it,
but Goodell wants it. So guess what we're gonna get it?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Are we really? Is he really gonna lose?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Is he really gonna put this in just for a
year just to see and then say no, it didn't
work getting rid of it?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Of course not.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I mean, that's what I mean. It's just a slow
slide to accepting what he wants. We're just gonna put
it in for this year, then they put it in
for this year. Yeah, we're just gonna do it for
another year or two. You know what, this work pretty well,
it's been three years.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
We're just gonna get rid of kickoffs now because a
kickoff hasn't really been a play for the last few years.
Everybody just boots it into the end zone. Now, no
one gets creative with it. It's not really a play.
Now I can have the evidence saying no one's doing
this play anymore. Everyone's just kicking it into the end zone.
We can get rid of kickoffs, and boom, I've abolished
a play and I look like I'm fighting for player safety.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That's how this ends.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yeah, a high percentage of touchbacks already the average field
position start going through all those off runbacks. How much
of a differential is there really? So you might as
well just settle in and pick that spot. Yeah. I
don't like the fact that you can call fair catch
in the field to play and advance the ball that
(12:45):
I mean, that's a punt thing have added, but off kickoffs,
I'm out. But in the end, it's it's inevitability. Just
like Roger Goodell, evidently is also going to be your
commissioner till at least twenty twenty seven, buddy.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
So still go, still go, still make the money.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
So they they slit that one in as well, that
that was expected to be part of these processes this
week as well. So yeah, the kickoff. Look as a
Chicago guy, and having watched as we did, the Dion
Sanders part of the game and some of the other
great returners, Devin Hester of course for the Bears, and
(13:21):
giving people false hope by returning the opening kickoff of
a Super Bowl for a touchdown before watching the team
do nothing the rest of the night is the stuff
of legend. But that's that's a lifetime ago at this point,
and for the NFL, as you have all these changes
and you're trying to trying to make sure at least
(13:43):
you're under the guise of being player player friendly, safety friendly,
and answering the calls from so many public interest groups
and those that have tried to have opposition to your game. Yeah,
this is the inevitable push here, give a little bit,
and then now it becomes the all right, competition committee,
(14:05):
get creative. What's the alternative.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Telling you you don't like these stories now again within
five years. No more kickoffs football five nights a week.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Maybe Ted Lasso will carry on like his wayward son

Speaker 3 (16:28):
TJ.

Maybe ted Lasso has hit the point of no return

Speaker 3 (16:34):
To Kansas, TJ.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Maybe song right there.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Maybe the greyhounds will turn into dust in the wind

Speaker 4 (16:46):
TJ.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
I think people are just upset that he ran out

Speaker 1 (16:53):
I'll tell you, I really wish they were good, Hannah
Waddingham says, there because she says they're the worst tasting
biscuits ever. They're no fun to eat. You believe they
taste horrible. Why would she say they take.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Well?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Because she's an actress and she's apt.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
She looks like she's enjoying them that well.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
She because she's an actress, and that's that's what she's gotta.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Rubbish, perpetrating a fraud on America and international audiences.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Hey, Ray Fines was acting like he enjoyed killing all
those wizards and Harry Potter.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I can't believe that.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
I'm going home and smashing my Apple TV.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I can't believe Nicholson looked like he was happy he
ordered the code red on that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That wound up dying. I can't believe he did that.
Oh man, Nicholson.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Now you're going through it and you're thinking about it, right,
going through every one of.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
These guys that have done real bad things.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Oh Manakin walks in and kills all the young lady Christians.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Had looked like he enjoyed killing the younglings on that.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I can't believe.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
I think we should a poop that they lit on

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Darth Vader looked like he enjoyed throwing the Emperor down.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Oh well, already probably did, Okay, well he probably he
probably did.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Ever watching ted Lasso again.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So we are getting game five, almost gonna say game seven.
We're getting Game five between the Celtics and the Heat
after the Celtics have a surprise victory tonight. And I
say surprise because nobody thought this was gonna happen. Nohow
who man, It was an absolute blowout. We never saw
(18:53):
the Heat make a run in the second half, and
the Celtics win it one, sixteen to ninety nine. Jason
Tatum third, three to eleven and seven and already trending
everywhere is Celtics and seven. So that's every Celtics and seven.
Even Vegas is getting in on it now because apparently,
according to the Action Network, the Heat's odds to win
(19:14):
game five or plus two fifty Celtics odds to win
the series is plus two to ten.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Wait wait what? Wait? What I mean?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Everybody is buying into now? The Celtics won a game?
Now there, Yes, the Celtics are better than the Heat,
and yes, eventually a team will come back from down
three to zero to win a series. That's going to happen, right,
You can't say it's not gonna happen. It's going to happen.
We were seeing sixteen seeds beat ones in college basketball.
(19:42):
Now the difference between low seeds and high seeds in
the NBA playoffs has never been closer.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, a team's gonna come back down from three zip
to win.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
But this Celtics team that is the biggest Jekyl and
hide act in the playoffs and can't put two good
games together, They're gonna put four good games. I don't
care where the games are. I don't care the games
are in Oh, I don't care. The games are in Boston.
Oh yeah, to the next three are in Boston. I
don't give a crap about that. You're telling me they're
gonna put together four good games in a row when
(20:12):
they can't put two good games row together, they look one.
I'm telling you that's why I said the NBA playoffs
in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics are the most maddening
team in the world because one game they look like
they could be the best team in the league, and
the next they look like why are even out here
on the floor, And a lot of it's about desire,
a lot of it's about showing up, and the Celtics,
knowing full well what is at stake for them, can't
(20:35):
find a way to do that. You're telling me they're
gonna do that four game, four games row, Mi Carven,
Not one, not two, not three.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
They're gonna do it four games in a row. Not happening.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I don't see it, not, not this Celtics team. Not
when they are when they are so up and down
and look great and terrible from one quarter to the next.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
No way.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Again, it goes back to as we've talked about quite
a bit. If you get into a close game in
late minutes, are you trust what the Celtics have given
you this season, regular season and postseason? No, you're not.
We've seen meltdowns and you give the edge to Spolstra
and the rotation that he's been running out. But I
(21:13):
do like that there's some optimism, you know, there's there's
the old old line. The greatest trick the Devil ever
polled was convincing people that he didn't exist. People are saying, now,
this is the greatest trick ever and Jimmy Butler's finest moment.
He has injected hope back into the souls and lives
(21:34):
of people in Boston, only so he can go stuffing
out when they get back home to lose another home
game in Game five, which I think is kind of
a fun and exciting way of looking at at things here.
And he was nonplused in the in the post game
being asked about it. He was fined after Game three
(21:55):
because he did not meet the media here. It was
a brief appearance, but it'll keep him know I'm here,
so I don't get fined kind of scenario. But the
door is open to your point. Yeah, it'll happen at
some point. Do I believe it happens against this version
of the Miami Heat, with this Celtics crew. No, I don't,
(22:16):
because unless it's blowout form, which you saw tonight, Celtics
made ten more three point shots than the Heat had,
and Heat weren't a great shooting team during the regular season,
don't get me wrong. And they've they've been better in
the postseason, and you've seen Strus, you've seen Vincent, You've
seen secondary players step up and give them huge games.
(22:39):
When you're looking at Lowry coming off the bench, he's
had some big moments for them as well. But I
don't think that four times their defensive acumen, their cohesiveness
is just thrown out the window and that they lose
all the discipline that got them to this point. So
it's fun in theory, we had hoped that we'd see
(23:02):
a Game five in the other series tomorrow. Sorry prospered,
but at least that parlay that I was asking Furman
about is no longer in effect, because I was like, well,
what if in both the NHL and NBA all of
the conference final series end in sweet What are the
odds of that well that's got blown up tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
So if you are the heat right and now you're
trying to figure out a way to not worry about
this too much. Like I'm telling you the Celtics, they're
too crazy, they're too up and down to Jekyl and
hide to win this in seven. All right, just stop
with the Celtics in seven. But Jimmy Buckets was asked
after the game, Hey, this is kind of a tough loss.
That are going for the closer. You're gonna be celebrating
(23:42):
with your fans. How do you avoid getting too low
following a loss like this? And this is what Jimmy
Butler had.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
To say, how do you personally kind of avoid from
getting too low yourself?
Speaker 6 (23:54):
Stay consistent, do the same thing that I do that
we do after every game to some music. You know,
I'm gonna drink some beers back there, gon, go have
some wine. I don't think that you could just focus
on basketball all the time. You have to be able to,
you know, get away from the game a little bit,
think about it. But at the end of the day,
(24:15):
you fall back on, you know, your habits, how consistent
you're gonna be. And myself and my teammates. We're gonna
do the same thing. We're gonna smile, We're gonna be
in this thing together like we always are. We're gonna
gonna get one on the road.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Gonna drink some beers. Hey man, let's go get some beers.
Get Yeah, and we're gonna listen to music. Yeah kind
of you know what they're gonna listen to.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
We saw this today, big story today, ESPN had it.
One of them two smith that fuels to eat is Nickelback.
Jimmy Butler is the team. DJ plays a lot of
different songs, different genres. He plays sometimes play some country
songs other time, but they do listen to a lot
of nickel Backs, and you know, they listen to the words,
(25:02):
and Nickelback is kind of I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I didn't know if people really listened to Nickelback for
the words. I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Wonder great video of them on the plane though, singing
along to Vanessa Carlton.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yes, yes, right, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. Uh It's
it's kind of cool. But I mean the Nickelback, I mean,
come on, man, really, Nickelback, I mean finding redeeming thing Nickelback,
Really you have to do that Christmas. I'm glad ty
shirts off tonight because you don't have to hear listen
to Nickelback all night. But now I'm really rooting for
the Celtics because I would rightly sold more than fifty
(25:37):
million albums.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
They're good.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But honestly, I would much rather have a conversation about
The Town, which is the movie Joe Mizula says he
watches four times a week. Times a week, I would
I would much rather talk about that because that's a
really good move. That's a very underde move, but it
also becomes a all right, explain to me how that's
helping your coaching acumen. Okay, okay, So in the Town
and Affleck needs to get a group of people to
(26:03):
work together to pull off a task. Sometimes you're wearing
none masks, sometimes you're not. Sometimes you're dressed up like
you work at Fenway Park.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Sometimes you're not.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But it's about getting a buy in and getting people
to follow a plan, even when they want to kind
of do their own thing, Like Jeremy Redder wants to
do his own thing the entire time. In the Town,
we're holding caught out on the street. Uh, he kind
of like kind of what he wants to do.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
So tough.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Hawk guy. That's he now in real life he trumps
all of that.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
He is fantastic in this movie, Like I know that
that you see the go.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
He got nominated. Yeah, he was Best Supporting Actor for that. Yes,
it is. You're going to Hell, Frostburg. You're going to
hell for that.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
He is on the comeback trail.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
You're going to hell. It's so good for him, You're
going to hell. Uh, he was that.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
This is back when he was I think he was
coming off of a hurt Locker when he had that
big run like he he had, he had a great run.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
For a few years. A boy, Jeremy Renner is.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
A really good actor when he first got a lot
of credit for for what he was able to do.
But I'll say, as good as he was in hurt Locker,
I thought he was. I thought he was better in
the Town, even though the Town was a little bit
more of a of a It wasn't as an in
depth performance because he's playing more of a one note character.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
But I just thought he was so menacing and he
was so care Yeah. I mean, oh, the cast was good.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
The movie was great.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
You guys remember when we saw him in the hotel
in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Oh, that's right, we did. We did see him. I
forgot about that. When you will you walk by us,
that's right about that.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And he was, but he was not dressed as hawky
and you did not see you talking about he.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Was doing some cosplay, don't you know? Don't you know
who I am?
Speaker 8 (27:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
You know the Hey get that movie right, I'll give
you a hot take in that movie. I'll give you
a hot hot tet the town take.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Uh. That's one of the first times after I had
been exposed to John Hamm as an actor. For because
I didn't really watch mad Men because it was just
too slow.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
There's a hot take for you. I couldn't. I was
just too slow. It was so unbelievably moved it.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
I had a couple of reasons to watch.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
It was so slow.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I love Christina Hendrix, but it was just I mean,
if I can't watch it for you, I was shocking.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
But no, I even watched it.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I even watched the Strangers part too, And then when
she got killed in the movie, I said, oh, I.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Need to watch this anymore. I turned it off. So
I have no idea how it ended.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I will say the one thing you know, now that
we've brought her into the into the mix, the fact
that they did a terrible job of closing out Good
Girls just still just ticks me off.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Oh did they really wow?
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Because they were fighting with the male lead. He wanted
more money and he was paying the ass.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
So is like that's when John ham started to get
hot and you know, coming off of Mad and everything else.
And I watched when I just said, wow, he's really
the weak link in this movie. Everybody is so good
and John Hamm is just kind of there. And like
when I see John Hamm do do straight drama, he's
he's just there. But when he does comedy, he's really
(29:12):
funny about he should do he should do comedy all
the time because he is he's a very funny comedic actor.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But when I watch him do drama, I go, wow,
everybody's going great. They really he was that good and
Madmett really this guy really Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I guess I take your word for it, because wow,
he's just kind of there in a lot of movies
when he's got when he's gotten.

was pretting death on the town and.

before they start getting after it.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I didn't say a lot. I said a little bit
of Dan there.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
I mean Dan would have the Mets suck in there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
No, you would, he know, he would not have.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
He's a newsman. He hass to tell the truth.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
Outside of the NBA?
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Today it was a great day, and then it was
a scary day, and then it was a great day.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Rogers shows up.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
For Day one of the Jets, Ota says, I, you know,
I might miss some of them, but I'm here for
day one. Hasn't done it for the Packers in years.
Here he is, he's loving life with the Jets. Then
he gets dinged up at practice and he's seen walking
off limping a little bit, a bit of a calf injury,
and for a half hour, I'm nervous as hell, going.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Oh my god, he's done. He's just done.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Diana Rossini of ESPN had the story. I'm like, don't
sit here and tell me. Obviously something wrong with him,
and don't you gotta give me a follow up?
Speaker 3 (34:33):
And then we find out Rogers didn't even leave the field.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
They just gave the rest of practice off. He walked
around equipment on, he hung out for practice, you know,
help with some drills. Talked afterwards, said more glowing things
about the Jets. Everything turns out he did scary for
a little bit, scary a little bit, but then it
turned out to be fun.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
He did say something that was truly disturbing though, when
he really he's leaned into this new character in this
new life too much, because he started talking about how
much he loved the Jersey Shore and what a brilliant
television show was. Now that that's a guy that is
trying way too damn hard to get the new people
to like him.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Oh, well, of course he is. He's trying to look
he's trying to win the breakup. He's trying to show that, Hey,
my life is great. I don't think about you at all, Packers.
I can't get over how great life is here with
the Jets. This is so awesome. Here's what he said
today following the quote injury. He was, Okay, it's been
a dream month so far. Every day I wake up
(35:32):
excited about coming to the facility. I have an excitement
about coming down Jets Drive. I'm in the right place.
He loves the Jets more than I do. Man, and
that's really.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Tough to do.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, but everybody, anybody was gonna pay him here's the Jets.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah, he's gonna love who's ever paying him?
Speaker 5 (35:54):
A wonderful daighborhood.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
And Samini and all those guys are lining up.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
To so what I mean?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
He loves the I mean I didn't think anybody could
love the Jets as much, but look at him. He
loved the Jets. And let me tell you this. Let
me tell you this again. I'm gonna say this all summer.
He did not come to the Jets to suck.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Okay. Was he great last year?
Speaker 4 (36:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
But now he's rejuvenated. He wasn't into it as much
in Green Bay. He wanted out the last two years.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Now here he is.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
He's got a great lease on life. This will be
a great you're probably his best year that he will
have the rest of his time with the Jets. Watch out,
I'm telling you how good he's gonna be. He's gonna
be back to being the old Aaron Rodgers. You just
don't know. You just don't want the Jets to have
nice things. You just oh, he's gonna stink. I don't
like how he acted all these things. Trust me, he
didn't change everything and put the bulls eye on himself
(36:48):
to come to New York and suck you. Watch how
good he's going to be this year, trust me.
Speaker 4 (36:53):
True, He's already trying by showing up. So I gotta
give him credit for that, right, I mean already already
man win heymen. Eighty percent of life, they say, is
just showing up.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
That's the w right there. He loves the Jets, I mean,
