Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the best of two pros and lamar rating Winn
and Jonas Knox on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Take a bottle lebar Arrington, we celebrate you.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I was totally wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Listen you you said after Game two it was over
and Minnesota was going to the next round, and you
were correct.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
The t Wolves, Well, you know what we could Yep,
we could go from there. I did. I did call it.
I did. I definitely knew the Timberwolves they were going
to be the team to do it. I knew it.
I knew they were the team to beat. And you know, thanks,
thanks for giving me them promps. There we go. I
did not think that they could get to two in
(00:45):
a row out of them. I really didn't. Then give
them a lot of credit. I mean, Denver mucked it up,
though again I think it was more Denver giving away
the series than it was the Timberwolves taking it. But
you got two seven footers, and Gobert at least did
a little bit more than what he has done in
(01:07):
games past. They were going to need a great effort
from the two seven footers if they were going to
get out of that game alive. And Anthony does what
Anthony does. But you know, next series. It's going to
be interesting to see that matchup between them in Dallas.
It really is, because I feel like Kyrie Irving is
(01:31):
a better version of Murray in this series, and they
struggled with Murray. He was the one that they struggled
the most with, but they were able to neutralize somewhat
a little bit. And when I say somewhat, I mean
very much somewhat Jokic with with with their defensive strategy strategy.
(01:52):
So you know, I don't know, I don't know. I'm
I'm curious on this one because I feel like this
could go either way, right, you can turn this can
turn into the start of a conversation of Anthony Edwards
and what his trajectory is depending on how it all
(02:13):
it all plays out, but it's set up for him
to actually be able to win it all. I think
anybody out of the West is going to be a
matchup problem for the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yegree. I mean, well, assuming by the way the Celtics
are the team that makes it for me is.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Right, and that's what I'm assuming.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I actually thought last night to your point about Denver
kind of give them the series, but I thought they
kind of gave the game away. They had a stronghold.
It felt like for the whole first half. The second
half at Minnesota just started to trip away that went
on runs and it wasn't so much to me like
they shut down jokicher Jamal murder is like the rest
of the bench. I mean, Michael Porter Junior hasn't shot
(02:52):
as well. Cadavis calledwell, Pope hasn't shot as well. He's
for three as they have in those opportunities, of those moments,
it just felt like when they need their bench to
step up and get them a little extra help, there
was nothing there. And collectively, I mean Jade McDaniels stepped
up in a big way.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Look at some of other players.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Michael Conley you talked about earlier in the series, the
impact of him being in there and him not being
there and what that means.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Like, I thought last night's game was an.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Example of maybe more of the depth that I think
the Timberwolves can have at times too with guys mix
in guys scoring and putting up some points. But it
was tremendous second half really by Minnesota to kind of
make the adjustment sort of to put themselves in a
position out to go to the NBA finals. If if
(03:39):
a big if you know, if they can move past
the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Because the one to your point, the one.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Two combination of Kyrie and Luca, Which it's funny when
that first when they first got together, like people were
not sure this was going to work out.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's worked out pretty dark goo.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, Like at the end of the day, like that,
they're one of the better teams in the NBA. They
have too legit amazing scores and it should be a
fun series to see how this plays out.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
There was a stretch in the third last night where
Denver seemingly could not hit a shot.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
They could do earlier in the game.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
There was times when like they're missing dunks, like there's
like two or three separate possessions, like they could not
finish a dunk to score.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Neither team really shot all that well. And then you
just saw them, like you said, chip away in the
third quarter, start to get down. And then once they
got that lead, and they just kept finding baskets and
getting stops, and then you know, Jokicic was able to
hit a couple of threes, but he couldn't find the
shot from deep and then they got no other help
besides him and Jamal Murray. And so the next thing
(04:39):
you know, Minnesota goes on the run. And once Anthony
Edwards hit that three in the corner, that was a wrap,
Like that was it. And I think everybody in that
crowd and everybody in that in that place was stunned.
And afterwards, Karl, Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards actually spoke about,
you know, just sort of their path to get here
and whether or not they feel like they've been through
(05:01):
enough to earn this spot.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Usually an NBA history says you have to lose and
lose big before you win. What is it about this
team that says we lost last year? Yeah, but that's different.
You have to lose out a bigger stage. Usually teams
used the playoffs. We lost last year, we lost the.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Last two years.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
We got to lose.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
How much you want us to lose? Lose for twenty years?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I mean, they're right, true. Why they try to frame
it up like, nah, this wasn't as big, Well you
made it? What this big? We lost in the playoffs?
Why big?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
You know why I was reading an article because like
people in the media want to feel important, like they
really do, Like like the way they ask asked their
question they wanted to be answered, the way they want
to frame it, the way they want to write about it,
talk about it like they wanted to be they wanted
to be, Like they want to feel important, like they're
a really important part of the process.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
It's like you're not, man, You're just covering it. Like
go watch the players, go watch the coaches, like just
a part of it, man, even for us.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Like I'll be honest, like I'd sent you guys something
yesterday and I thought to myself, like, dang, that's the
thing I hate about this job is because people think
that like and and maybe you guys different, maybe you
feel different about it, but like people think that, like
we want to be like out there you want to
feel like that. I'm like, no, I just I love sports.
I love talking about it like I love talking about
(06:24):
with people. I love people I like working with and
I love you too.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Cue.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
But I'm just saying like I don't want I don't
want to interject, don't want to interject myself into it.
Like I'm walking into the game, you know, in my suit,
and I'm acting like the camera should be on me.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What are you getting at that happen?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Job was really yesterday? It was really funny. You know,
I made the capsu what is what made it really
funny day? And it looked so true. I mean, it
couldn't have been any more true. That man thought he
was about to suit up to play a game, the
game of his life, by the way, the one that
was going to find his life. You guys could tell
(07:04):
the whole story unless you don't want to. I mean,
Stephen a came walking into the arena like he was,
like like he was about to play, like people were
there that they bought the ticket to see him. It's like, no, bro,
they're not there to see you. They don't that this
game goes on way beyond you, Like I ain't never
gonna knock knock another man's hustle, his swag, his drip
(07:28):
like he came in swagged out. He was dripped out like,
but he came in like he was like they showed
him like he was one of the players coming in
to play the game. And come on, Stephen Nate, you
know that that isn't what you need to be doing
being who you are in the media. You know, you
be talking your game when you get on, but you
(07:48):
ain't gotta go walking through the stadium like the arena
like you're about to play the game. Come on, we
know that you're not getting in the game. Stephen now
even coaching and even walk.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
For I like Steven a a lot, and he's a
Fox Sports radio He actually did this show in this
time slot, if I'm not mistaken, and years ago, and
he works his ass off and deserves everything he gets.
But for Christ's sake, what are you doing the walk in?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Like, get that camera off me, man, Like, yeah, that's
what I'm saying. Me run it up to the camera
with my head out, like get that camera out of
my face, Like, let me do this job.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
But like when I'm when I'm not supposed to be on,
don't put me on camera. Don't let me just live
my life. He was eating that up. Oh, he was
eating that all the way up.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
He was. He was in his glory. He was in
the moment, and somebody went more in the moment than
the moment. Stephen Day was in that moment. I don't
know what a moment is. Swagged to his walk to man,
he had a.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Little bit hey like he was a little bit sore
from bags four or five six, Like, hey man, you know,
got that ankle, I got that knee.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm gonna get through. We're gonna get through tonight. I mean,
have you ever felt the loss of a playoff game?
Like bro, It's a it's a horrible feeling. It's such
(09:27):
a lonely feeling because it's like, this is the moment
where you get to the end. These are the games
that get you to the end, and the moment you lose,
the first thing you think about is we gotta start
all over again. You gotta start all over again. You
gotta do it all over again. That's a big deal.
That's a big deal. Whether you go to the playoffs
every year or not, it's a big deal to have
(09:50):
to reset your brain to do that, do the process
all over again, just to try to get to that
point again, to try to get further than that point.
So I don't know what and not to take anything
away from that media person who asked the question, because
maybe they had an like you said, Q, they probably
had their own angle, and I don't get what it
(10:11):
would be, but to know the importance of being able
to progress, like you look at somebody like look at
Lamar Jackson, you know, is electrifying as he is as
a player, wins the MVP Award again, he just hasn't
been able to get it done in the playoffs, you know.
(10:31):
And you look at a guy like Anthony Edwards, he's
now progressed to the final, like the Western Final. To
have this opportunity and to get this far along like,
you can't. You can't sit there and say, okay, well
this year was more important than last year. Why why
would it make it more important? Like he said, they
(10:53):
said they lost two times two years in a row,
you know, and so to me, you got to get Minnesota.
They're they're props because they they are going through it
seems like the proper process to become a team that
could be. You know, they're in they're in pole position.
If you asked me to win it all, I know,
people think that it's going to be Boston. I think
(11:13):
Boston comes out of the Indiana Series. Now, that could
be wrong. Like them on the poles, what you're saying, yeah,
I do like them.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
On poles, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
What a weekend in sports though, by the way, what
a great weekend like there's so much stuff going on
that the fury, you sick fight, the gray, which almost
got I didn't even write down here picked what horse?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I had imagination didn't work well, I didn't remember get missed.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah. Did anyone have seized the gray?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I don't believe so?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh great, Yeah, there's so how many people picked?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And yes, So that means that there was what five
people or no, six people, six people out of nine
horses and nobody want, nobody picked the right one.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I should have been a separate bet, like I would
have bet on one of us winning if there was.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Odds on it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, that's a shame.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Dang.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
By the way, how boring was the PGA Championship when
people weren't getting arrested?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I mean, guys, actually, I was gonna say, pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean I was out, like I need, I need
some relatable golfers, guys that have road rage.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Does somebody walk into a rope or something? Did one
of the golfers walk into a rope? I don't know.
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
But I'm trying to figure I'm trying to figure out
why there's a trail of blood out in front of
the door of the studio. That's what I'm trying to
figure out. Outside. Just walk through, there's a trail of blood.
I'm interesting now le's here? Okay, no, no, not real
sure are you serious?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Then?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Like de Chambeau made a putt on eighteen to be
able to tie to to push.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Wasn't it who walked into the the rope like he
Maybe it was a different maybe it was a different tournament,
maybe a different tournament.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah, yeah Chambeau versus rope. I know what you're saying.
In a different tournament, he walked into it. Yeah, still
a shot, Shoftley gets his first. I mean it was
it was an awesome week in the sportsman.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I really enjoyed did did Does Bryson still do curls
before every every round or no?
Speaker 7 (13:29):
I know he mashes the ball absolutely.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
He swings like a a cave man. It looks like
he's like swinging like a telephone poll out there. It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, it was that. It was a good weekend in sports.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
There really is a trailer, b bro.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, like walking walking walk.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
He man, I see I see that that family hyenas
growing outside the parking. I finally seeing them bad boys
walking around. Man, hyenas, no coyotes, But I'm just sad
they were moving around. Boy, they was like they were
really patrolling the place like they would deep too. I mean,
(14:11):
they kept coming around. I was like they was rolling deep.
You could kick one of them in the face, maybe
you got a chance, but it looked like there's enough
of them to try to take a person down.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well, I don't know. They must have gotten to somebody
because it's either paint or blood. I can't tell, but
for the sake of the story, will go with blood.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Was painting, yeah, smarts and crafts. Maybe League got attacked,
I don't think so. Maybe Coop. Maybe Coop was, you know,
filling a certain type of way, real relaxed and chill
and bad boys then ran up on him.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Hey, Coop, what's your guess? Blood or paint out in
front of the studio door. If you had to guess
right now, you're you're a betting man, what would you
say it is? It's definitely not paint?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh no, no, murder mystery.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
It could be like like.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Catch up or barbecue sauce or something like that.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I would rather be blood than that, because come on,
you gotta be one filthy nasty, dirty person.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Like nobody's walking in with a bottle of a one
and spilling it before they get in the studio. Somebody
got attacked. There's blood out in front of the studio
telling you right now, and that story is only going
to grow as the show goes on, so that as
it stands right now.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
So it wasn't the coyotes getting cooped. I don't know
he just gave us unless he's sitting on blood right now.
He don't want nobody to know the truth.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I'll just say this right now. The security guards unfazed
by the whole thing. I don't even think anybody knows it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So all right, so so.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Hopefully, uh, you know, not an active crime scene situation
here from the tire rack dot Com studios.

up and get you ready to go.
Speaker 7 (17:08):

Speaker 2 (17:10):
All right, Well let's get fired, don't mess around. Lesson learned,
all right, So we got we got to mind our
p's and q's, in this case, our b's and q's.
Lebar Arrington because uh, well Lee's not messing around, man, Yeah,
(17:32):
that needs.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
To be a shirt. Dang, what are we coming up?
Can I do it? At some point? It has to
be done? Can I do it? What we need a
show store?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Man? I just listened. As long as I get paid,
that's all I care about. Somebody wants to put it together.
I just want, you know, I want a little piece
of the cut, you know, for for some of these.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
So you like Marvin Harrison Junior. Huh, you got to
You gotta control your name, image and likeness as it
applies to this stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, okay, I mean basically you know that. That's that's
the way this is gonna work. Although I've also got
the same same amount of wins against Michigan in my
career too, so do I Yeah? Dang, wait, you never
beat Michigan, No, really.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Never beat him. Only team never got a dub against.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
How many times you beat Ohio State twice?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Oh yeah, you know, two out of three? Yeah, we like.
That's why I said they made me the number two
overall pick. So I love Ohio State, but Michigan, I
mean Michigan. I destroyed Michigan too. I was banging I
was banging up Tom Brady pause I was banging him
up so good that they was like, welcome. This is like,
this is what it feels like to be hitting the NFL.
(18:50):
Like they were talking about he was in an NFL
game that day. His ass still pulled it out though
he pulled him through. Bro, we had like a ten
point lead on them with like eight minutes left. Some crazy.
I mean, we was walking him down all day long. Then, dude,
just you know, dude just did what Tom Brady did.
(19:11):
They should have known what Tom Brady was going to
be in the league by watching his game against us
OUR last year ninety nine. Well sucked, man.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well listen, here's what doesn't suck. What tom Brady is
going to be calling games? Yes, all right, he's going
to be games now. We talked about this a little
bit last week. How's it going to work? The fact
that he's trying to become an owner or part owner
of the Raiders and and you know, is it a
conflict of interest to him calling games while also being
(19:42):
an owner of an NFL team and all systems go
and he's got clearance to go ahead and call whatever
games he wants. But he did show up to a
UFL game in Detroit over the weekend, and some people
have thought, you know, could this be him kind of
maybe getting his feet wet in the broadcasting world. Maybe
(20:03):
Tom Brady would be uh would be on the call
for some of these UFO UFL games.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It should be. UH could be on the call for
some of these UFL games and and potentially be out
there when, you know, and try and get his feet
wet with all this stuff. And I look at it
and I go, I sure, hope not. I don't want
any practice reps. I don't want a preseason game. I
don't want a UFL game, a UFO game, I don't
care what it is. I want him Week one in Cleveland,
(20:35):
Brown's Cowboys Dak Prescott versus Massage Watson with Tom Brady
on the call. That's what I want. Nothing, no practice,
no nothing, Get out there and I'll just figure this
whole thing out.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
What do you think of that, Jelly? Yeah? Nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
By the way, you're the game you called for Fox
was in Cleveland, wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It was?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
And I did it raw.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you wish do you wish you would have had Damn?
Do you wish you would have had some practice runs
before you went out there.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Now, I did have a practice run the day before.
It wasn't like a practice practice run, but it was
pretty cool. You feel pretty important calling games. I'll say
that the way like the process of it all.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
It was.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I would just say for me, it was all about
learning the pacing. That was and you want to stay
natural in the moment. But it ultimately comes down to
your familiarity with the names. So that's like if you're
going into it, I would assume for Brady that they're
(21:50):
probably teaching him all of the words, like all of
the names he needs to know. So when he gets
to that game week, like any game, because they've announced
his games, right, Uh, not every game, but they announced
a lot of them.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Well, I mean he's gonna be doing you know, obviously
the the bigger what what the A team? I guess
she can call it her.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Then I can guarantee you he knows the games he's calling,
and the the network knows the games he's calling. They're
gonna make sure they've probably already made sure that on
like names that he needs to know, because that's generally
the biggest thing because everything else all he has to
do is there's there's small storylines that will will play
(22:36):
out during the course of a game, Jonas. But it's
usually the you know, it's usually the not not the analyst,
but the color the color guy. What's what's the other guy?
What's gus? The host? He's the host, right, Yeah, it's
usually the hosts that are are setting up those things,
and then you react to it as as the pro
(22:57):
you know what I mean. So Brady will have no
pro problem giving insight, He'll have no problem giving stories
that resonate with the audience, which is that's what they're
going to look for, is for his personality to come
into play, you know what I mean. But I would say,
for me, the biggest thing that he probably will will
face is just enunciating the names correctly and getting in
(23:22):
and out of his points. But he's Tom Brady, so
they'll just hear. He'll be able to talk and have
conversation a little bit, probably like how Troy does or
like how Tony Romo does. He'll have a little bit
more latitude to be able to to speak a little
bit more. But generally, you got to get in and
you got to get out super super super quickly, and
(23:44):
that's that's that's complicated. That's that's tough to do.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Uh, this is going to be one of the first
times in a long time that I can think of
where people are going to be watching that game to
hear it, not really see it, Like they're going to
be more focused on the sounds instead of the sites.
Because I think there's a lot of people who are
gonna come away from that game and go, well, how
(24:08):
did Tom Brady do? Like never mind, you know, Deshaun
Watson and Dak Prescott and the Browns and the Cowboys
and it's Week one and their playoff teams and there's
a lot on the line this year. Is this the
end of the road for Dak and Dallas and Deshaun
Watson's got to prove it this year and all that stuff.
I think the big takeaway from that game is how
did Tom Brady do? Which is wild to think about.
(24:29):
And this is why when people push back on how
much money Fox gave him to do this, Well, this
is why, Like he's a star and he's the greatest
to ever do it, and the fact that he's going
to get this opportunity so many people are either going
to be in a crowded house or a crowded room
and tell everybody in the room to shut their mouths
(24:50):
or shut the hell up because they want to hear
how Tom Brady does. And he's probably gonna get you know,
there's gonna be people that are going to criticize him
all over social media. Probably stay out of your mind afterwards, right,
you don't want to You don't want to have any
any sort of an issue or a meltdown.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
There was a guy who who was calling games for
Fox years ago. I used to be the UFC broadcaster,
was the play by play guy for the UFC, and
he did an NFL game and fans were critical of him,
and he got into it with fans on social media
afterwards and never called another game again. So you know,
(25:29):
word of the wise, for Tom Brady, you're gonna get criticized,
all right, There's gonna be uh, there's gonna be some
some comments thrown your way. That's what I've.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Already told you. This man, he he he's too much
of a perfectionist. Him him proving anyone that he fills
in his mind with doubt, him proving them wrong is
something that has has truly proven to be a great
fuel for him and what he does. So he's going
(25:58):
to be more than what people are expecting and thinking
he's going to be. He's not going to be the less.
He is going to be the more. And that's you're
You're not going to see Tom Brady flop. It's not
going to be a flop job at all. You're not
going to see somebody who's taking it lightly and they
(26:20):
just show up and do the games like this, Dude,
I can I can only imagine what he has done
to prepare for his first game call. I can only
imagine what he's done, but it's probably been very extensive
because he's not He's not going to step in there
and embarrass himself and do anything that would possibly potentially
(26:46):
hurt or ruin his legacy and his brand. He's done
too much to build it. It happen.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, it's it's gonna be fun to watch. Though, it's
gonna be fun to watch. We get to see how
it all plays out. But yeah, listen, don't call the
UFL title game. Don't worry about doing any preseason games.
Let's go ahead. Let's keep this and keep it closed,
keep the lid on, and then we just release it
week one.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I don't disagree with that. I just think you keep
it behind closed doors, like you said, I don't why
would you unless you're using it because he's the tide,
that's right. It's raising all ships, right like that roast.
There's a lot of people that had their ships raised
by that roast. Yeah, you know what I mean, their
value went up? So do you take the value up?
(27:33):
I would imagine the ratings of a show that he's
on is going to be crazy. So are you cross
promoting to make sure that you build up a property
and an asset that you have at Fox, which I
would assume is yes. That's a yes. So if that's
the key to it all, you're leveraging, you know, you're
(27:54):
leveraging a brand that you're paying so much money to.
Of course, you're going to maybe put as many eyeballs
on that UFL game as you possibly can by leveraging
something like bringing Taylor Swift to the game or having
Tom Brady call his first game, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, good call, I mean, yeah, I wonderful.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I mean, don't you think that they were paying I mean,
if you think about it, don't you think they were
paying Taylor Swift like the the the television you know,
stations and all that stuff. Don't you think they were like, hey, look,
we'll give you five million dollars to just come watch
this game. Please go, absolutely, please just show up to
(28:36):
this game.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I mean, I wouldn't put it past them.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
But if I'm Fox, if I'm if, I'm uh, you know, ESPN,
if I'm wis which what's the other ones? Is NBC?
Does NBC?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, Telemundo, uh, CBS.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
CBS, CBS. That's what I was looking for. They're gonna
pay if that's get people to come come watch. Why
why wouldn't you pay her? And then why wouldn't you
film her going into the stadium and stuff like that.
Tom Brady can get viewership, probably more so than the
players playing in the game.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You know, it must be sweet to charge an appearance fee.
That's gonna be like like what a rush to the ego? Like,
what was your appearance fee when you were playing?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Two million dollars? What you want to see Stick City?
You gotta pay.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Well, if you wanted to see Stick City, that's a
different process time, it's a different process. Gee that dang,
and you pay.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Two million dollar appearance fee if you want to if
you want LeVar Arrington to come to your party, now
would you be uh? So, would you like go to
little kid's birthday parties? But only if it was for
a certain amount of money? Like how does that process work?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Like? How did I ever been a money dude? Man? Yeah,
for stuff like that. If it's for a company or
something to that effect, then yeah, I take my personal
appearance fees. But if it's for like kids, like, oh,
can you come to my game? That's stuff like that.
I always you know, I always made myself.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh, I would jack the price up more. You want
me to go to some little league game I don't
care about and there's no booze there. Yeah, listen, we
double that appearance fee. And if you don't like that,
you can kiss my ass. That's how I operate. It's
cold world out there, right, This is how you get
stuff done. That's what I'm talking about. By the way,
I think my appearance fee is like two three bucks something.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I don't know, something like you got a little higher
value than that, bro, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
You see what people.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Jonas people know Jonas man Jonas joke.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
By the way, uh Jonas so multiple people have seen
the splatter out in front of the studio. That's blood, man,
all right, I'm calling it right now. Like I don't
want to hear anything about barbecue, sauce. I don't want
to hear ketchup paint or any anything else that anybody
wants to throw out there. That's blood and it's blood splatter. Loraina,
(31:03):
you've seen it, all right? Are you gonna go with blood?
I'm gonna go with blood, Jonas, all right, Lee, we're
going with blood.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I'm going to other What else could it be? Oh,
there's plenty else.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
It could be what did somebody spill their rocky road
on the way end of the studio.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
It could be what what Brady said before he uh,
you know he ghosted us.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, I mean it could be Eddie. Have you seen
the splatter out in front of the studio. You're going
with blood or what?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I'm sorry, I have not seen the splotter.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Okay, we'll go take look at it. Go take a peek, Go.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Look at the bottom of it. I'm telling you it's
a possum. It's a possum or or cat and they
it got hit up, it tried to run. I thought
it was going to get away.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It got hit up.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
It got hit up.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Coyotes.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Coyotes out there, they play it for keeps bro, What
that your claiming possum? Is the trail peak cat?
Speaker 6 (31:58):
Is it leading to the door or from the door.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
It looks like it's leading to the door, like.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
If somebody or is it somebody running away?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I don't know, it really doesn't matter. It looks like
they came to a ditch.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
And I told you that security guard it's like nothing happened.
He was like, whatever, all right, well I guess we're
I guess we're cool here, So so there we go.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
It was it was probably a possum the way that
that the mark looks, it was probably a possible It
wasn't quick enough to be a cat. Yeah, you know,
it's just too too forward, like just right forward.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It might have gotten stubbed by the door, you know,
you open the door too fast. It hit the possum
in the butt, or maybe it hit someone's big toe.
And then that looks like a coyote with a switch blade.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
That's right, that's what I saw. I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, they was running up on it, Yeah, with one
of those box cutter knives just stuck.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
They got box cutters for teeth. Yeah, you know what
I mean. Bam hitting them up. You know what I
mean with the teeth. Hell yeah, that dip was in
trouble man, You know what I mean, Like you thought
you was about to get you, was about to get
through you, was about to get away, and you realize
that you came to a dead end. You know them
dead ends and get you. Yeah, you know what I mean.
(33:15):
That's in every horror flick. You know what I mean,
Like that was horror flick. Blood on the ground right there,
That dead end dip, That dead end dip. Bro, you
don't want that dead end dip.

Wasn't it played in a commercial a few years ago?
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Most pots wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, I know the commercial. You know was the commercial?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
So it was what does the stand for? What do
you mean by that?
Speaker 6 (35:10):
I always remember it from a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
No, there was like a like a mouthwash commercial or
something where they played Tarzan Boy.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
I swear to god, I would not be surprised.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'm not making this.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
I believe you Leak.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
You gotta look that up. I'm telling you, man, there's
there was a commercial or well go oh Listerine. Yeah,
I knew it. I'm talking about on top Eddie.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
I got the song, you got the commercial?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, by the way, was the listening commercial really like yesterday.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
They could have brought it back here.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Bois that? Ain't that? Ain't recent?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Some weird songs in the eighties, Mike Mike Conley was
thirty five back then.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Not nice damn.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Listen ring was going through the jungle. I'm watching the
commercial down swinging like straight towards en out this joint.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
By the way, we've got to get a new elephant
sound effect. Can you play that again, Lorena?
Speaker 3 (36:22):
What are we doing? That elephant tired and got no
no win get the one for that is not that
is not a strong elephant.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
That's that sounds like elephant. That sounds like an elephant. Titus,
that doesn't sound like an elephant? Is what that sounds like.
So we've got a We've got effort a better sound
drop for us. So if you're an elephant listening to
this on the iHeartRadio app, I want to apologize to
you and yours. We'll come up with a better sound
effect to represent you.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
M damn.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
And by the way, the a hole on Twitter who
put the hashtag free Brady listen. There are rules and
regulations on this show, and if you step out of line,
you get punished. Conduct detrimental. He pissed off Lee. He
was disrespectful and he was dismissive, and he's gotten away
(37:17):
with it for way too long on this show. And
Lee put his foot down and that had to happen,
and maybe he'll learn his lesson and he'll come back
tomorrow and be apologetic free Brady, Come on, man, how
about hashtag respect for Lee? That's what it should be.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Yeah, in case you missed it.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Damn all right. So there's also, uh this now we
could talk about. And you don't want to pay off
the team, not me, to go ahead and pay off
the tea's here before we get into something that got
a little bit juicy. That's I think some people have
a little bit of an issue with I personally don't
(37:56):
think it's funny. No, I know I knows.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Hammers breath.
Speaker 9 (38:21):
You don't know why I'm laughing because I was just
about to say, I know you were we've been we've
been running each other way too much.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
I took it out your mouth.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Tab all right. So Tua hasn't showed up in any
of the off season stuff for the Miami Dolphins. He
wants a new contract. You know what, why don't we can.
We talk about that tomorrow. We'll talk about tomorrow. Hopefully
Brady will be on better behavior because we'll get his
thoughts on it. Because I kind of feel like quarterbacks
(38:57):
can't do this because they're just differently than other players
that want to sit out. So if a quarterback does it,
he's perceived to be a bad leader. But you know, whatever,
the point is, forget all that. Let's focus on this.
Somebody made the comparison on social media last night, and
I think it's brilliant. They're calling the Knicks the Dallas
(39:20):
Cowboys of the NBA. And you know what, And I'm
not trying to piss off Stevid A. Smith because I
know he's uh, he's you know, he's walking into the
arena as we speak. I'm sure there's a camera on
him right now. Again as we as we have fun
with that conversation. But when you think about it, that's
a pretty good comp the Dallas Cowboys of the NBA
(39:41):
because they haven't won a damn thing and a long
ass time yet for some reason.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
They never won. I mean you to think the last
time they won, Like.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
The way they were talking yesterday, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson.
We're getting their jerseys retired and raised to the rafters
after that game. They have won in a long ass time. Yeah,
and yet for some reason.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
And that winning that you're talking about, when Pat Raley
was there, they never was able to finish because MJ
was a Nick killer. He killed him. Yeah, you know
what I mean. So, I mean, I don't know. I
guess we would. I guess we could look it up.
But when have the Knicks won it all?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Nineteen seventy three? Dang, yeah, nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Yeah, who was on that team?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Probably Mike Conley. I'm just stupid. I have no idea.
Maybe Phil Jackson was at the Phil Jackson Knicks. Maybe,
I don't know, but nineteen seventy three, and yet the
way that they were celebrated and the way everybody talked
about him, and oh my god, what a great team
and a great story in this It's like, dude, like,
(40:54):
what are we doing here? Like, I mean, the last
time the Knicks were playing relevant back basketball, Jeff Van
Gundy was hugging on somebody's ankle, like one of those
ankle biting Yeah, Earl of the Pearl.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
They had Willis reed.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yeah, well, they ain't there anymore, and uh, and it
doesn't matter if they were, because they're not going to
the Eastern Conference Finals and they're not going to the
NBA Finals and that's that. But some people have kind
of taken a little bit of an issue with Reggie Miller.
So if you remember after the Knicks one I believe,
I believe it was game two. After the Knicks one
(41:32):
Game two, Josh Hart came over and said something to
Reggie Miller, kind of having fun with him. But after
the game said something to Reggie Miller and all that.
And so Reggie Miller went to social media last night
and put a picture of Josh Hart talking to him
and said, quote, when the series changed, Jalen Brunson, you're
(41:53):
a true baller, been the best player in these playoffs.
But you and your boys can heal up together on
some beautiful beaches in camp. Please enjoy. Hey, listen, you
know you're not supposed to play favorites, but you know what,
if they're gonna stir it up, and they're gonna get
(42:14):
in his ear and talk some trash and be celebrated
by everybody like this is the most historic run in
the history of the National Basketball Association, you got to
wear it a little bit, and so the New York
Knicks are gonna wear it. And yet, for some reason,
the way it's being talked about by Knicks fans who
are disguised as members of the media. What an inspirational journey.
(42:37):
Oh my god, what a story. The New York Knicks
are to fight through all the adversity and all the injuries.
Great but tough balls. They're going home and they haven't
won anything in a long time. So to be compared
to the Dallas Cowboys, I think is a fair one.
Only difference is Dallas has actually done something in the
(42:57):
last thirty years and the Knicks haven't done anything in
the last fifty. That's a big difference.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
I mean, those are some big numbers, though, look some big,
big numbers, thirty fifty. Dang, that's I don't know. I
think it's a cool comparison because they're both pretty big markets.
I mean New York obviously being a top two market.
Dallas is, you know, Texas is a big, big market.
(43:26):
I just, you know, I don't know that. I look
at the Knicks as America's team, though I don't think
that like anyone would sit there and be like, Yep,
that's America's team right there. If I were looking at
a basketball team. I don't even know that I might
be horrible for saying this, but has a basketball team
(43:48):
ever really positioned themselves to be labeled and looked at
as America's team?
Speaker 5 (43:53):
No?
Speaker 3 (43:54):
No, you know what I mean, Like like Golden State
they you know, you had the boy Wonder and and
Steph Curry. I feel like because they look like little
kids and they was banging on grown ass men. I
think they became a fan favorite, you know, because you
just didn't expect a dude that looked like Steph Curry
(44:15):
to change the league. You know. It's like the littlest
big man, and people love little dudes or normal looking
dudes that had superpowers. You know.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
No, just just thinking of this now that you've made
the comparison and brought it up. If there was a team,
I would have said the Bulls from the nineties, because
I don't know about you, there was a lot of
people that all of a sudden became Bulls fans. Oh
for some mean and continue down that road before they
(44:47):
got to like, you know, the two thousands and after
the Derrick Rose ear were like, all right, we can't
do this anymore.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
This enoughs enough. I'm gonna say this, it's probably the Lakers.
It's probably the Lakers, if we're being honest, and then
a close second would have to be the Celtics if
we're being honest. But in terms of a popular run,
I mean the song with the bull Coming, you know,
the Bulls coming in Doom Doom, don' no no do doom,
(45:14):
no no no no. Then, like like there were so
many iconic things, like coming into the games. It was
like a show coming into the games to watch the
Bulls play. To me every single Sunday, that was that.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Was the when they released the Last Dance. That was
my favorite part of that is seeing the way they
were presented because you kind of forget all that and
then you think back to the way they were presented
when they showed up it there was a difference, like
there was a palpable difference when the Bulls showed up anywhere,
because like they dominated the entire decade and well yeah yeah,
(45:52):
and you just have so many figures that emerged from
from the team.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
In terms of just relevant, it's an important importance, right,
Like like Steve Kerr was just a role player. But
now you look back on it's like, man, Steve Kerr
was an intricate part of them winning, you know what,
at least one one, one or two of them. And
now he's he's like just as good, if not outdone
(46:19):
it as a coach. It's like that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Man Long, Like like all these like random crazy like.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Craig Hodges, bj Armstrong and all those players became Forrest Grant,
Bill cart right, those are those were names of relevance
just based upon the relevance of being on that team.
You know, Scottie Williams, Yeah, you know Livingston, like what
Livingston had the old man box, but he played his
(46:51):
he played his heart out, you know for that team.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
You know, like all all the stars from that team,
that's like the mega.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
That's like the mega Anthony on right, Dennis Rodman, Scottie
pipp and Michael Jordans. I mean, name a bigger three,
Name a bigger three. Those were those were rock stars.
Like they transcended the game. Yeah, they transcended the game.
So you could say in a lot of ways that
was like America's team. But I still think you got
(47:20):
to go with like the Lakers because it was for
so long, you know the I mean, but you think
about worthy, you know Thompson, uh magic, of course, come on,
I came, I came, Elijah Larsa, come on, what's what's
(47:40):
my down low? Guy? Abdul Jabbar? Damn? Why am I
tripping on that? Ja kareem?
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Right?
Speaker 3 (47:46):
You got all these guys A c Green with is
Jerry Curl. You had so many guys on that team,
and then the teams before that. You know, that's really
what carried the NBA really into the twenty first century, right,
was Celtics and the and the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
And don't forget and talking about you know, stars Larsa, Pippens,
like you just you don't want you don't want to
forget some of the stars.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
Tang. Well, then that that's you're talking about generational deals there, right,
because then now you got Jeffrey up in there, right, Yeah,
you got you got that next wave of Pippins and
and Jordan's like literally and literally
It's the best of two pros and lamar rating Winn
and Jonas Knox on radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Take a bottle lebar Arrington, we celebrate you.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I was totally wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Listen you you said after Game two it was over
and Minnesota was going to the next round, and you
were correct.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
The t Wolves, Well, you know what we could Yep,
we could go from there. I did. I did call it.
I did. I definitely knew the Timberwolves they were going
to be the team to do it. I knew it.
I knew they were the team to beat. And you know, thanks,
thanks for giving me them promps. There we go. I
did not think that they could get to two in
(00:45):
a row out of them. I really didn't. Then give
them a lot of credit. I mean, Denver mucked it up,
though again I think it was more Denver giving away
the series than it was the Timberwolves taking it. But
you got two seven footers, and Gobert at least did
a little bit more than what he has done in
(01:07):
games past. They were going to need a great effort
from the two seven footers if they were going to
get out of that game alive. And Anthony does what
Anthony does. But you know, next series. It's going to
be interesting to see that matchup between them in Dallas.
It really is, because I feel like Kyrie Irving is
(01:31):
a better version of Murray in this series, and they
struggled with Murray. He was the one that they struggled
the most with, but they were able to neutralize somewhat
a little bit. And when I say somewhat, I mean
very much somewhat Jokic with with with their defensive strategy strategy.
(01:52):
So you know, I don't know, I don't know. I'm
I'm curious on this one because I feel like this
could go either way, right, you can turn this can
turn into the start of a conversation of Anthony Edwards
and what his trajectory is depending on how it all
(02:13):
it all plays out, but it's set up for him
to actually be able to win it all. I think
anybody out of the West is going to be a
matchup problem for the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yegree. I mean, well, assuming by the way the Celtics
are the team that makes it for me is.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Right, and that's what I'm assuming.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I actually thought last night to your point about Denver
kind of give them the series, but I thought they
kind of gave the game away. They had a stronghold.
It felt like for the whole first half. The second
half at Minnesota just started to trip away that went
on runs and it wasn't so much to me like
they shut down jokicher Jamal murder is like the rest
of the bench. I mean, Michael Porter Junior hasn't shot
(02:52):
as well. Cadavis calledwell, Pope hasn't shot as well. He's
for three as they have in those opportunities, of those moments,
it just felt like when they need their bench to
step up and get them a little extra help, there
was nothing there. And collectively, I mean Jade McDaniels stepped
up in a big way.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Look at some of other players.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Michael Conley you talked about earlier in the series, the
impact of him being in there and him not being
there and what that means.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Like, I thought last night's game was an.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Example of maybe more of the depth that I think
the Timberwolves can have at times too with guys mix
in guys scoring and putting up some points. But it
was tremendous second half really by Minnesota to kind of
make the adjustment sort of to put themselves in a
position out to go to the NBA finals. If if
(03:39):
a big if you know, if they can move past
the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Because the one to your point, the one.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Two combination of Kyrie and Luca, Which it's funny when
that first when they first got together, like people were
not sure this was going to work out.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
It's worked out pretty dark goo.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, Like at the end of the day, like that,
they're one of the better teams in the NBA. They
have too legit amazing scores and it should be a
fun series to see how this plays out.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
There was a stretch in the third last night where
Denver seemingly could not hit a shot.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
They could do earlier in the game.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
There was times when like they're missing dunks, like there's
like two or three separate possessions, like they could not
finish a dunk to score.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Neither team really shot all that well. And then you
just saw them, like you said, chip away in the
third quarter, start to get down. And then once they
got that lead, and they just kept finding baskets and
getting stops, and then you know, Jokicic was able to
hit a couple of threes, but he couldn't find the
shot from deep and then they got no other help
besides him and Jamal Murray. And so the next thing
(04:39):
you know, Minnesota goes on the run. And once Anthony
Edwards hit that three in the corner, that was a wrap,
Like that was it. And I think everybody in that
crowd and everybody in that in that place was stunned.
And afterwards, Karl, Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards actually spoke about,
you know, just sort of their path to get here
and whether or not they feel like they've been through
(05:01):
enough to earn this spot.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Usually an NBA history says you have to lose and
lose big before you win. What is it about this
team that says we lost last year? Yeah, but that's different.
You have to lose out a bigger stage. Usually teams
used the playoffs. We lost last year, we lost the.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Last two years.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
We got to lose.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
How much you want us to lose? Lose for twenty years?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I mean, they're right, true. Why they try to frame
it up like, nah, this wasn't as big, Well you
made it? What this big? We lost in the playoffs?
Why big?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
You know why I was reading an article because like
people in the media want to feel important, like they
really do, Like like the way they ask asked their
question they wanted to be answered, the way they want
to frame it, the way they want to write about it,
talk about it like they wanted to be they wanted
to be, Like they want to feel important, like they're
a really important part of the process.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
It's like you're not, man, You're just covering it. Like
go watch the players, go watch the coaches, like just
a part of it, man, even for us.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Like I'll be honest, like I'd sent you guys something
yesterday and I thought to myself, like, dang, that's the
thing I hate about this job is because people think
that like and and maybe you guys different, maybe you
feel different about it, but like people think that, like
we want to be like out there you want to
feel like that. I'm like, no, I just I love sports.
I love talking about it like I love talking about
(06:24):
with people. I love people I like working with and
I love you too.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Cue.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
But I'm just saying like I don't want I don't
want to interject, don't want to interject myself into it.
Like I'm walking into the game, you know, in my suit,
and I'm acting like the camera should be on me.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
What are you getting at that happen?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Job was really yesterday? It was really funny. You know,
I made the capsu what is what made it really
funny day? And it looked so true. I mean, it
couldn't have been any more true. That man thought he
was about to suit up to play a game, the
game of his life, by the way, the one that
was going to find his life. You guys could tell
(07:04):
the whole story unless you don't want to. I mean,
Stephen a came walking into the arena like he was,
like like he was about to play, like people were
there that they bought the ticket to see him. It's like, no, bro,
they're not there to see you. They don't that this
game goes on way beyond you, Like I ain't never
gonna knock knock another man's hustle, his swag, his drip
(07:28):
like he came in swagged out. He was dripped out like,
but he came in like he was like they showed
him like he was one of the players coming in
to play the game. And come on, Stephen Nate, you
know that that isn't what you need to be doing
being who you are in the media. You know, you
be talking your game when you get on, but you
(07:48):
ain't gotta go walking through the stadium like the arena
like you're about to play the game. Come on, we
know that you're not getting in the game. Stephen now
even coaching and even walk.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
For I like Steven a a lot, and he's a
Fox Sports radio He actually did this show in this
time slot, if I'm not mistaken, and years ago, and
he works his ass off and deserves everything he gets.
But for Christ's sake, what are you doing the walk in?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Like, get that camera off me, man, Like, yeah, that's
what I'm saying. Me run it up to the camera
with my head out, like get that camera out of
my face, Like, let me do this job.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
But like when I'm when I'm not supposed to be on,
don't put me on camera. Don't let me just live
my life. He was eating that up. Oh, he was
eating that all the way up.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
He was. He was in his glory. He was in
the moment, and somebody went more in the moment than
the moment. Stephen Day was in that moment. I don't
know what a moment is. Swagged to his walk to man,
he had a.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Little bit hey like he was a little bit sore
from bags four or five six, Like, hey man, you know,
got that ankle, I got that knee.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm gonna get through. We're gonna get through tonight. I mean,
have you ever felt the loss of a playoff game?
Like bro, It's a it's a horrible feeling. It's such
(09:27):
a lonely feeling because it's like, this is the moment
where you get to the end. These are the games
that get you to the end, and the moment you lose,
the first thing you think about is we gotta start
all over again. You gotta start all over again. You
gotta do it all over again. That's a big deal.
That's a big deal. Whether you go to the playoffs
every year or not, it's a big deal to have
(09:50):
to reset your brain to do that, do the process
all over again, just to try to get to that
point again, to try to get further than that point.
So I don't know what and not to take anything
away from that media person who asked the question, because
maybe they had an like you said, Q, they probably
had their own angle, and I don't get what it
(10:11):
would be, but to know the importance of being able
to progress, like you look at somebody like look at
Lamar Jackson, you know, is electrifying as he is as
a player, wins the MVP Award again, he just hasn't
been able to get it done in the playoffs, you know.
(10:31):
And you look at a guy like Anthony Edwards, he's
now progressed to the final, like the Western Final. To
have this opportunity and to get this far along like,
you can't. You can't sit there and say, okay, well
this year was more important than last year. Why why
would it make it more important? Like he said, they
(10:53):
said they lost two times two years in a row,
you know, and so to me, you got to get Minnesota.
They're they're props because they they are going through it
seems like the proper process to become a team that
could be. You know, they're in they're in pole position.
If you asked me to win it all, I know,
people think that it's going to be Boston. I think
(11:13):
Boston comes out of the Indiana Series. Now, that could
be wrong. Like them on the poles, what you're saying, yeah,
I do like them.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
On poles, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
What a weekend in sports though, by the way, what
a great weekend like there's so much stuff going on
that the fury, you sick fight, the gray, which almost
got I didn't even write down here picked what horse?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I had imagination didn't work well, I didn't remember get missed.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah. Did anyone have seized the gray?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I don't believe so?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Oh great, Yeah, there's so how many people picked?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And yes, So that means that there was what five
people or no, six people, six people out of nine
horses and nobody want, nobody picked the right one.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I should have been a separate bet, like I would
have bet on one of us winning if there was.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Odds on it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, that's a shame.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Dang.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
By the way, how boring was the PGA Championship when
people weren't getting arrested?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I mean, guys, actually, I was gonna say, pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I mean I was out, like I need, I need
some relatable golfers, guys that have road rage.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Does somebody walk into a rope or something? Did one
of the golfers walk into a rope? I don't know.
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
But I'm trying to figure I'm trying to figure out
why there's a trail of blood out in front of
the door of the studio. That's what I'm trying to
figure out. Outside. Just walk through, there's a trail of blood.
I'm interesting now le's here? Okay, no, no, not real
sure are you serious?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Then?
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Like de Chambeau made a putt on eighteen to be
able to tie to to push.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Wasn't it who walked into the the rope like he
Maybe it was a different maybe it was a different tournament,
maybe a different tournament.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah, yeah Chambeau versus rope. I know what you're saying.
In a different tournament, he walked into it. Yeah, still
a shot, Shoftley gets his first. I mean it was
it was an awesome week in the sportsman.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I really enjoyed did did Does Bryson still do curls
before every every round or no?
Speaker 7 (13:29):
I know he mashes the ball absolutely.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
He swings like a a cave man. It looks like
he's like swinging like a telephone poll out there. It's awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Yeah, it was that. It was a good weekend in sports.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
There really is a trailer, b bro.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, like walking walking walk.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
He man, I see I see that that family hyenas
growing outside the parking. I finally seeing them bad boys
walking around. Man, hyenas, no coyotes, But I'm just sad
they were moving around. Boy, they was like they were
really patrolling the place like they would deep too. I mean,
(14:11):
they kept coming around. I was like they was rolling deep.
You could kick one of them in the face, maybe
you got a chance, but it looked like there's enough
of them to try to take a person down.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Well, I don't know. They must have gotten to somebody
because it's either paint or blood. I can't tell, but
for the sake of the story, will go with blood.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Was painting, yeah, smarts and crafts. Maybe League got attacked,
I don't think so. Maybe Coop. Maybe Coop was, you know,
filling a certain type of way, real relaxed and chill
and bad boys then ran up on him.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Hey, Coop, what's your guess? Blood or paint out in
front of the studio door. If you had to guess
right now, you're you're a betting man, what would you
say it is? It's definitely not paint?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh no, no, murder mystery.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
It could be like like.
Speaker 6 (15:04):
Catch up or barbecue sauce or something like that.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I would rather be blood than that, because come on,
you gotta be one filthy nasty, dirty person.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Like nobody's walking in with a bottle of a one
and spilling it before they get in the studio. Somebody
got attacked. There's blood out in front of the studio
telling you right now, and that story is only going
to grow as the show goes on, so that as
it stands right now.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
So it wasn't the coyotes getting cooped. I don't know
he just gave us unless he's sitting on blood right now.
He don't want nobody to know the truth.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I'll just say this right now. The security guards unfazed
by the whole thing. I don't even think anybody knows it.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
So all right, so so.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Hopefully, uh, you know, not an active crime scene situation
here from the tire rack dot Com studios.

show store?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Man? I just listened. As long as I get paid,
that's all I care about. Somebody wants to put it together.
I just want, you know, I want a little piece
of the cut, you know, for for some of these.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
So you like Marvin Harrison Junior. Huh, you got to
You gotta control your name, image and likeness as it
applies to this stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, okay, I mean basically you know that. That's that's
the way this is gonna work. Although I've also got
the same same amount of wins against Michigan in my
career too, so do I Yeah? Dang, wait, you never
beat Michigan, No, really.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Never beat him. Only team never got a dub against.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
How many times you beat Ohio State twice?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Oh yeah, you know, two out of three? Yeah, we like.
That's why I said they made me the number two
overall pick. So I love Ohio State, but Michigan, I
mean Michigan. I destroyed Michigan too. I was banging I
was banging up Tom Brady pause I was banging him
up so good that they was like, welcome. This is like,
this is what it feels like to be hitting the NFL.
(18:50):
Like they were talking about he was in an NFL
game that day. His ass still pulled it out though
he pulled him through. Bro, we had like a ten
point lead on them with like eight minutes left. Some crazy.
I mean, we was walking him down all day long. Then, dude,
just you know, dude just did what Tom Brady did.
(19:11):
They should have known what Tom Brady was going to
be in the league by watching his game against us
OUR last year ninety nine. Well sucked, man.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well listen, here's what doesn't suck. What tom Brady is
going to be calling games? Yes, all right, he's going
to be games now. We talked about this a little
bit last week. How's it going to work? The fact
that he's trying to become an owner or part owner
of the Raiders and and you know, is it a
conflict of interest to him calling games while also being
(19:42):
an owner of an NFL team and all systems go
and he's got clearance to go ahead and call whatever
games he wants. But he did show up to a
UFL game in Detroit over the weekend, and some people
have thought, you know, could this be him kind of
maybe getting his feet wet in the broadcasting world. Maybe
(20:03):
Tom Brady would be uh would be on the call
for some of these UFO UFL games.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It should be. UH could be on the call for
some of these UFL games and and potentially be out
there when, you know, and try and get his feet
wet with all this stuff. And I look at it
and I go, I sure, hope not. I don't want
any practice reps. I don't want a preseason game. I
don't want a UFL game, a UFO game, I don't
care what it is. I want him Week one in Cleveland,
(20:35):
Brown's Cowboys Dak Prescott versus Massage Watson with Tom Brady
on the call. That's what I want. Nothing, no practice,
no nothing, Get out there and I'll just figure this
whole thing out.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
What do you think of that, Jelly? Yeah? Nothing.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
By the way, you're the game you called for Fox
was in Cleveland, wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It was?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
And I did it raw.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Do you wish do you wish you would have had Damn?
Do you wish you would have had some practice runs
before you went out there.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Now, I did have a practice run the day before.
It wasn't like a practice practice run, but it was
pretty cool. You feel pretty important calling games. I'll say
that the way like the process of it all.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
It was.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I would just say for me, it was all about
learning the pacing. That was and you want to stay
natural in the moment. But it ultimately comes down to
your familiarity with the names. So that's like if you're
going into it, I would assume for Brady that they're
(21:50):
probably teaching him all of the words, like all of
the names he needs to know. So when he gets
to that game week, like any game, because they've announced
his games, right, Uh, not every game, but they announced
a lot of them.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Well, I mean he's gonna be doing you know, obviously
the the bigger what what the A team? I guess
she can call it her.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Then I can guarantee you he knows the games he's calling,
and the the network knows the games he's calling. They're
gonna make sure they've probably already made sure that on
like names that he needs to know, because that's generally
the biggest thing because everything else all he has to
do is there's there's small storylines that will will play
(22:36):
out during the course of a game, Jonas. But it's
usually the you know, it's usually the not not the analyst,
but the color the color guy. What's what's the other guy?
What's gus? The host? He's the host, right, Yeah, it's
usually the hosts that are are setting up those things,
and then you react to it as as the pro
(22:57):
you know what I mean. So Brady will have no
pro problem giving insight, He'll have no problem giving stories
that resonate with the audience, which is that's what they're
going to look for, is for his personality to come
into play, you know what I mean. But I would say,
for me, the biggest thing that he probably will will
face is just enunciating the names correctly and getting in
(23:22):
and out of his points. But he's Tom Brady, so
they'll just hear. He'll be able to talk and have
conversation a little bit, probably like how Troy does or
like how Tony Romo does. He'll have a little bit
more latitude to be able to to speak a little
bit more. But generally, you got to get in and
you got to get out super super super quickly, and
(23:44):
that's that's that's complicated. That's that's tough to do.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Uh, this is going to be one of the first
times in a long time that I can think of
where people are going to be watching that game to
hear it, not really see it, Like they're going to
be more focused on the sounds instead of the sites.
Because I think there's a lot of people who are
gonna come away from that game and go, well, how
(24:08):
did Tom Brady do? Like never mind, you know, Deshaun
Watson and Dak Prescott and the Browns and the Cowboys
and it's Week one and their playoff teams and there's
a lot on the line this year. Is this the
end of the road for Dak and Dallas and Deshaun
Watson's got to prove it this year and all that stuff.
I think the big takeaway from that game is how
did Tom Brady do? Which is wild to think about.
(24:29):
And this is why when people push back on how
much money Fox gave him to do this, Well, this
is why, Like he's a star and he's the greatest
to ever do it, and the fact that he's going
to get this opportunity so many people are either going
to be in a crowded house or a crowded room
and tell everybody in the room to shut their mouths
(24:50):
or shut the hell up because they want to hear
how Tom Brady does. And he's probably gonna get you know,
there's gonna be people that are going to criticize him
all over social media. Probably stay out of your mind afterwards, right,
you don't want to You don't want to have any
any sort of an issue or a meltdown.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
There was a guy who who was calling games for
Fox years ago. I used to be the UFC broadcaster,
was the play by play guy for the UFC, and
he did an NFL game and fans were critical of him,
and he got into it with fans on social media
afterwards and never called another game again. So you know,
(25:29):
word of the wise, for Tom Brady, you're gonna get criticized,
all right, There's gonna be uh, there's gonna be some
some comments thrown your way. That's what I've.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Already told you. This man, he he he's too much
of a perfectionist. Him him proving anyone that he fills
in his mind with doubt, him proving them wrong is
something that has has truly proven to be a great
fuel for him and what he does. So he's going
(25:58):
to be more than what people are expecting and thinking
he's going to be. He's not going to be the less.
He is going to be the more. And that's you're
You're not going to see Tom Brady flop. It's not
going to be a flop job at all. You're not
going to see somebody who's taking it lightly and they
(26:20):
just show up and do the games like this, Dude,
I can I can only imagine what he has done
to prepare for his first game call. I can only
imagine what he's done, but it's probably been very extensive
because he's not He's not going to step in there
and embarrass himself and do anything that would possibly potentially
(26:46):
hurt or ruin his legacy and his brand. He's done
too much to build it. It happen.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, it's it's gonna be fun to watch. Though, it's
gonna be fun to watch. We get to see how
it all plays out. But yeah, listen, don't call the
UFL title game. Don't worry about doing any preseason games.
Let's go ahead. Let's keep this and keep it closed,
keep the lid on, and then we just release it
week one.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I don't disagree with that. I just think you keep
it behind closed doors, like you said, I don't why
would you unless you're using it because he's the tide,
that's right. It's raising all ships, right like that roast.
There's a lot of people that had their ships raised
by that roast. Yeah, you know what I mean, their
value went up? So do you take the value up?
(27:33):
I would imagine the ratings of a show that he's
on is going to be crazy. So are you cross
promoting to make sure that you build up a property
and an asset that you have at Fox, which I
would assume is yes. That's a yes. So if that's
the key to it all, you're leveraging, you know, you're
(27:54):
leveraging a brand that you're paying so much money to.
Of course, you're going to maybe put as many eyeballs
on that UFL game as you possibly can by leveraging
something like bringing Taylor Swift to the game or having
Tom Brady call his first game, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, good call, I mean, yeah, I wonderful.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I mean, don't you think that they were paying I mean,
if you think about it, don't you think they were
paying Taylor Swift like the the the television you know,
stations and all that stuff. Don't you think they were like, hey, look,
we'll give you five million dollars to just come watch
this game. Please go, absolutely, please just show up to
(28:36):
this game.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I mean, I wouldn't put it past them.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
But if I'm Fox, if I'm if, I'm uh, you know, ESPN,
if I'm wis which what's the other ones? Is NBC?
Does NBC?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, Telemundo, uh, CBS.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
CBS, CBS. That's what I was looking for. They're gonna
pay if that's get people to come come watch. Why
why wouldn't you pay her? And then why wouldn't you
film her going into the stadium and stuff like that.
Tom Brady can get viewership, probably more so than the
players playing in the game.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You know, it must be sweet to charge an appearance fee.
That's gonna be like like what a rush to the ego? Like,
what was your appearance fee when you were playing?
Speaker 7 (29:22):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Two million dollars? What you want to see Stick City?
You gotta pay.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Well, if you wanted to see Stick City, that's a
different process time, it's a different process. Gee that dang,
and you pay.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Two million dollar appearance fee if you want to if
you want LeVar Arrington to come to your party, now
would you be uh? So, would you like go to
little kid's birthday parties? But only if it was for
a certain amount of money? Like how does that process work?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Like? How did I ever been a money dude? Man? Yeah,
for stuff like that. If it's for a company or
something to that effect, then yeah, I take my personal
appearance fees. But if it's for like kids, like, oh,
can you come to my game? That's stuff like that.
I always you know, I always made myself.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh, I would jack the price up more. You want
me to go to some little league game I don't
care about and there's no booze there. Yeah, listen, we
double that appearance fee. And if you don't like that,
you can kiss my ass. That's how I operate. It's
cold world out there, right, This is how you get
stuff done. That's what I'm talking about. By the way,
I think my appearance fee is like two three bucks something.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I don't know, something like you got a little higher
value than that, bro, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
You see what people.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Jonas people know Jonas man Jonas joke.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
By the way, uh Jonas so multiple people have seen
the splatter out in front of the studio. That's blood, man,
all right, I'm calling it right now. Like I don't
want to hear anything about barbecue, sauce. I don't want
to hear ketchup paint or any anything else that anybody
wants to throw out there. That's blood and it's blood splatter. Loraina,
(31:03):
you've seen it, all right? Are you gonna go with blood?
I'm gonna go with blood, Jonas, all right, Lee, we're
going with blood.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
I'm going to other What else could it be? Oh,
there's plenty else.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
It could be what did somebody spill their rocky road
on the way end of the studio.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
It could be what what Brady said before he uh,
you know he ghosted us.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, I mean it could be Eddie. Have you seen
the splatter out in front of the studio. You're going
with blood or what?
Speaker 7 (31:30):
I'm sorry, I have not seen the splotter.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Okay, we'll go take look at it. Go take a peek, Go.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Look at the bottom of it. I'm telling you it's
a possum. It's a possum or or cat and they
it got hit up, it tried to run. I thought
it was going to get away.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It got hit up.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
It got hit up.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Coyotes.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Coyotes out there, they play it for keeps bro, What
that your claiming possum? Is the trail peak cat?
Speaker 6 (31:58):
Is it leading to the door or from the door.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
It looks like it's leading to the door, like.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
If somebody or is it somebody running away?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I don't know, it really doesn't matter. It looks like
they came to a ditch.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
And I told you that security guard it's like nothing happened.
He was like, whatever, all right, well I guess we're
I guess we're cool here, So so there we go.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
It was it was probably a possum the way that
that the mark looks, it was probably a possible It
wasn't quick enough to be a cat. Yeah, you know,
it's just too too forward, like just right forward.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It might have gotten stubbed by the door, you know,
you open the door too fast. It hit the possum
in the butt, or maybe it hit someone's big toe.
And then that looks like a coyote with a switch blade.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
That's right, that's what I saw. I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, they was running up on it, Yeah, with one
of those box cutter knives just stuck.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
They got box cutters for teeth. Yeah, you know what
I mean. Bam hitting them up. You know what I
mean with the teeth. Hell yeah, that dip was in
trouble man, You know what I mean, Like you thought
you was about to get you, was about to get
through you, was about to get away, and you realize
that you came to a dead end. You know them

Speaker 7 (34:17):
First of all, Lorena came into the Updates studio and said,

that's Tarzan Boy.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Nailed it, Tarzan Boy.
Speaker 3 (34:32):

Speaker 7 (34:34):

Man, this is nice.
Speaker 7 (34:37):
This is eighties song.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
The guy's name is Baltimra who sang this song?
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Because this this song Tarzan Boy about laughing? What this
became famous again a few years ago in a commercial.
Wasn't it played in a commercial a few years ago?
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Most pots wouldn't surprise me.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, I know the commercial. You know was the commercial?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
So it was what does the stand for? What do
you mean by that?
Speaker 6 (35:10):
I always remember it from a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
No, there was like a like a mouthwash commercial or
something where they played Tarzan Boy.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
I swear to god, I would not be surprised.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I'm not making this.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
I believe you Leak.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
You gotta look that up. I'm telling you, man, there's
there was a commercial or well go oh Listerine. Yeah,
I knew it. I'm talking about on top Eddie.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
I got the song, you got the commercial?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, by the way, was the listening commercial really like yesterday.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
They could have brought it back here.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Bois that? Ain't that? Ain't recent?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Some weird songs in the eighties, Mike Mike Conley was
thirty five back then.
Speaker 7 (36:00):
Not nice damn.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Listen ring was going through the jungle. I'm watching the
commercial down swinging like straight towards en out this joint.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
By the way, we've got to get a new elephant
sound effect. Can you play that again, Lorena?
Speaker 3 (36:22):
What are we doing? That elephant tired and got no
no win get the one for that is not that
is not a strong elephant.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
That's that sounds like elephant. That sounds like an elephant. Titus,
that doesn't sound like an elephant? Is what that sounds like.
So we've got a We've got effort a better sound
drop for us. So if you're an elephant listening to
this on the iHeartRadio app, I want to apologize to
you and yours. We'll come up with a better sound
effect to represent you.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
M damn.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
And by the way, the a hole on Twitter who
put the hashtag free Brady listen. There are rules and
regulations on this show, and if you step out of line,
you get punished. Conduct detrimental. He pissed off Lee. He
was disrespectful and he was dismissive, and he's gotten away
(37:17):
with it for way too long on this show. And
Lee put his foot down and that had to happen,
and maybe he'll learn his lesson and he'll come back
tomorrow and be apologetic free Brady, Come on, man, how
about hashtag respect for Lee? That's what it should be.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Yeah, in case you missed it.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Damn all right. So there's also, uh this now we
could talk about. And you don't want to pay off
the team, not me, to go ahead and pay off
the tea's here before we get into something that got
a little bit juicy. That's I think some people have
a little bit of an issue with I personally don't
(37:56):
think it's funny. No, I know I knows.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Hammers breath.
Speaker 9 (38:21):
You don't know why I'm laughing because I was just
about to say, I know you were we've been we've
been running each other way too much.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
I took it out your mouth.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
Tab all right. So Tua hasn't showed up in any
of the off season stuff for the Miami Dolphins. He
wants a new contract. You know what, why don't we can.
We talk about that tomorrow. We'll talk about tomorrow. Hopefully
Brady will be on better behavior because we'll get his
thoughts on it. Because I kind of feel like quarterbacks
(38:57):
can't do this because they're just differently than other players
that want to sit out. So if a quarterback does it,
he's perceived to be a bad leader. But you know, whatever,
the point is, forget all that. Let's focus on this.
Somebody made the comparison on social media last night, and
I think it's brilliant. They're calling the Knicks the Dallas
(39:20):
Cowboys of the NBA. And you know what, And I'm
not trying to piss off Stevid A. Smith because I
know he's uh, he's you know, he's walking into the
arena as we speak. I'm sure there's a camera on
him right now. Again as we as we have fun
with that conversation. But when you think about it, that's
a pretty good comp the Dallas Cowboys of the NBA
(39:41):
because they haven't won a damn thing and a long
ass time yet for some reason.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
They never won. I mean you to think the last
time they won, Like.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
The way they were talking yesterday, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson.
We're getting their jerseys retired and raised to the rafters
after that game. They have won in a long ass time. Yeah,
and yet for some reason.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
And that winning that you're talking about, when Pat Raley
was there, they never was able to finish because MJ
was a Nick killer. He killed him. Yeah, you know
what I mean. So, I mean, I don't know. I
guess we would. I guess we could look it up.
But when have the Knicks won it all?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Nineteen seventy three? Dang, yeah, nineteen seventy three.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Yeah, who was on that team?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Probably Mike Conley. I'm just stupid. I have no idea.
Maybe Phil Jackson was at the Phil Jackson Knicks. Maybe,
I don't know, but nineteen seventy three, and yet the
way that they were celebrated and the way everybody talked
about him, and oh my god, what a great team
and a great story in this It's like, dude, like,
(40:54):
what are we doing here? Like, I mean, the last
time the Knicks were playing relevant back basketball, Jeff Van
Gundy was hugging on somebody's ankle, like one of those
ankle biting Yeah, Earl of the Pearl.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
They had Willis reed.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yeah, well, they ain't there anymore, and uh, and it
doesn't matter if they were, because they're not going to
the Eastern Conference Finals and they're not going to the
NBA Finals and that's that. But some people have kind
of taken a little bit of an issue with Reggie Miller.
So if you remember after the Knicks one I believe,
I believe it was game two. After the Knicks one
(41:32):
Game two, Josh Hart came over and said something to
Reggie Miller, kind of having fun with him. But after
the game said something to Reggie Miller and all that.
And so Reggie Miller went to social media last night
and put a picture of Josh Hart talking to him
and said, quote, when the series changed, Jalen Brunson, you're
(41:53):
a true baller, been the best player in these playoffs.
But you and your boys can heal up together on
some beautiful beaches in camp. Please enjoy. Hey, listen, you
know you're not supposed to play favorites, but you know what,
if they're gonna stir it up, and they're gonna get
(42:14):
in his ear and talk some trash and be celebrated
by everybody like this is the most historic run in
the history of the National Basketball Association, you got to
wear it a little bit, and so the New York
Knicks are gonna wear it. And yet, for some reason,
the way it's being talked about by Knicks fans who
are disguised as members of the media. What an inspirational journey.
(42:37):
Oh my god, what a story. The New York Knicks
are to fight through all the adversity and all the injuries.
Great but tough balls. They're going home and they haven't
won anything in a long time. So to be compared
to the Dallas Cowboys, I think is a fair one.
Only difference is Dallas has actually done something in the
(42:57):
last thirty years and the Knicks haven't done anything in
the last fifty. That's a big difference.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
I mean, those are some big numbers, though, look some big,
big numbers, thirty fifty. Dang, that's I don't know. I
think it's a cool comparison because they're both pretty big markets.
I mean New York obviously being a top two market.
Dallas is, you know, Texas is a big, big market.
(43:26):
I just, you know, I don't know that. I look
at the Knicks as America's team, though I don't think
that like anyone would sit there and be like, Yep,
that's America's team right there. If I were looking at
a basketball team. I don't even know that I might
be horrible for saying this, but has a basketball team
(43:48):
ever really positioned themselves to be labeled and looked at
as America's team?
Speaker 5 (43:53):
No?
Speaker 3 (43:54):
No, you know what I mean, Like like Golden State
they you know, you had the boy Wonder and and
Steph Curry. I feel like because they look like little
kids and they was banging on grown ass men. I
think they became a fan favorite, you know, because you
just didn't expect a dude that looked like Steph Curry
(44:15):
to change the league. You know. It's like the littlest
big man, and people love little dudes or normal looking
dudes that had superpowers. You know.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
No, just just thinking of this now that you've made
the comparison and brought it up. If there was a team,
I would have said the Bulls from the nineties, because
I don't know about you, there was a lot of
people that all of a sudden became Bulls fans. Oh
for some mean and continue down that road before they
(44:47):
got to like, you know, the two thousands and after
the Derrick Rose ear were like, all right, we can't
do this anymore.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
This enoughs enough. I'm gonna say this, it's probably the Lakers.
It's probably the Lakers, if we're being honest, and then
a close second would have to be the Celtics if
we're being honest. But in terms of a popular run,
I mean the song with the bull Coming, you know,
the Bulls coming in Doom Doom, don' no no do doom,
(45:14):
no no no no. Then, like like there were so
many iconic things, like coming into the games. It was
like a show coming into the games to watch the
Bulls play. To me every single Sunday, that was that.
Speaker 2 (45:28):
Was the when they released the Last Dance. That was
my favorite part of that is seeing the way they
were presented because you kind of forget all that and
then you think back to the way they were presented
when they showed up it there was a difference, like
there was a palpable difference when the Bulls showed up anywhere,
because like they dominated the entire decade and well yeah yeah,
(45:52):
and you just have so many figures that emerged from
from the team.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
In terms of just relevant, it's an important importance, right,
Like like Steve Kerr was just a role player. But
now you look back on it's like, man, Steve Kerr
was an intricate part of them winning, you know what,
at least one one, one or two of them. And
now he's he's like just as good, if not outdone
(46:19):
it as a coach. It's like that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Man Long, Like like all these like random crazy like.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Craig Hodges, bj Armstrong and all those players became Forrest Grant,
Bill cart right, those are those were names of relevance
just based upon the relevance of being on that team.
You know, Scottie Williams, Yeah, you know Livingston, like what
Livingston had the old man box, but he played his
(46:51):
he played his heart out, you know for that team.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
You know, like all all the stars from that team,
that's like the mega.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
That's like the mega Anthony on right, Dennis Rodman, Scottie
pipp and Michael Jordans. I mean, name a bigger three,
Name a bigger three. Those were those were rock stars.
Like they transcended the game. Yeah, they transcended the game.
So you could say in a lot of ways that
was like America's team. But I still think you got
(47:20):
to go with like the Lakers because it was for
so long, you know the I mean, but you think
about worthy, you know Thompson, uh magic, of course, come on,
I came, I came, Elijah Larsa, come on, what's what's
(47:40):
my down low? Guy? Abdul Jabbar? Damn? Why am I
tripping on that? Ja kareem?
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Right?
Speaker 3 (47:46):
You got all these guys A c Green with is
Jerry Curl. You had so many guys on that team,
and then the teams before that. You know, that's really
what carried the NBA really into the twenty first century, right,
was Celtics and the and the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
And don't forget and talking about you know, stars Larsa, Pippens,
like you just you don't want you don't want to
forget some of the stars.
Speaker 3 (48:10):
Tang. Well, then that that's you're talking about generational deals there, right,
because then now you got Jeffrey up in there, right, Yeah,
you got you got that next wave of Pippins and
and Jordan's like literally and literally
