George. He has to wor hehooked the horns on him. He's the

(09:07):
horns on Paul. Hey, well, we're gonna see what they have now
that they're in the SEC. George. You know, I can't wait till
our football contest, Anthony. Justwaiting for a football contest because you've got
to pick also, and we keeptrack of all games during the football season.
We give money away at me soa lot of fun. Now we're
gonna throw it to Anthony on thisNBA today. That'll be him the tonight's

(09:28):
game, George, Anthony, doesBoston take care of things? Just quickly?
Not gonna get into it yet,but does Boston take care of business
tonight? I don't know. That'stough because Mavericks showed how they showed a
glimpse of what they could have beenplaying like the last three games. But
it's taken him so long to makeadjustments and make improvements to the game plans

(09:52):
and schemes. They won by fortylaps, you know, the last in
the last game, but you knowthey have other games where they've got getting
a blue the radar. They gotthem blown out, but they've done it
every game. They'd come on thefirst quarter. Yeah, I thought they
had taken care of Game three,Anthony. I thought them every I thought
it'd be too two. It couldbe too too They voted in game three

(10:13):
they auld let Boston. Yo,lord, Yeah, we'll go ahead finish
it up and don't We're gonna getto it because that's another thing we got
to touch. George. Look,all I can tell you is this the
football quarterback contracts. I'm gonna haveto leave my boy alone. I just

(10:33):
sit though. Dak Prescott. You'llall know I've said he's overpaid, overpaid,
overpaid. Well, all I'm gonnatell you now is the leader.
Tremor Lawrence is a talent, amajor talent, George. But his turnovers
are crazy and everything else is crazy, George, fifty five million. We're
gonna get into some of the hoightpaid quarterbacks, I mean paid, and

(10:56):
Patrick Mahomes is not even in thetop eight, George Hockett. George,
let me say that again. PatrickMahomes is not even in the top eight
spaight NFL quarterbacks. So other thanI I love all the quarterbacks that really
talented. Joe Burrows is a badboy. He takes his team to the
championship. You have to give thatguy credit. If he's not injured,

(11:18):
they're playing in the final, inthe super finals of their conference, or
they're playing in the Super Bowl.Joe Burrows so that to be able to
win one. But Patrick Mahomes isnot even in the top eight. So
guys, let's start first and foremost. We're already at seven to seventeen,
George. We're gonna stay to task. We're gonna go to break. When
we come back, we're gonna haveMatt load the tape and we're gonna talk

(11:39):
a little bit about the US Openat Pinehurst two, which I have played.
They found one of my balls,George. I think they played one
of my balls over that weekend.They found one of mine George and Anthony.
But we're gonna talk about that afterthe break. Is the sports radio
phone nubers five zero two, fiveseven, one seventy nine. We'll talk

(12:00):
to you in a minute. Welcomeback to Eves Sports Radio. Yes,
it is June the tenth, twentytwenty sports Wendy. How quickly this monthay
slipping away from us. We're justa little worker, bees, we work
for a living. I've got theone and only Anthony Eve's on the line
with me. I've got the incredibleGeorge Williams. And I do mean that

(12:22):
incredible in his own mind. Thatman's sick, but don't you all tell
him we got George Williams on withus. Guys, welcome back to the
show. How are you all allright? And here we're good? Now,
here's the deal, guys on theserious side, and I want you
all to listen to. I'm gonnagive you some information. I'm gonna throw
it to you first, yours,because I know you don't you're not a

(12:43):
true golfer, but you still understandthis aspect. Then we'll throw it to
Anthony to close. Who is agolfer? Did Rory McElroy choke or did
Bryce and de Chambeau beat him inthe tournament? Let me give you statistics
going into it. George Bryson wasminus seven going into Sunday. Roy McIlroy

(13:07):
was minus four, three behind.Okay, Rory hadn't won a major in
golly ten years, and d Chambeauwas in a slump. He went to
the live tour, took the money, had not won a live tour,
had been playing poorly, had justswitched caddies to Greg bo Wye, so

(13:30):
trying to rectify himself. So bothof them were uneasy in that position.
But that was d Chambeau's second major. US Open, which George, the
US Open is the toughest track ingolf. To be minus six is an
unbelievable score. They like it tobe minus one or two, George.
They try to make it so difficultthat they make the great golfers look like

(13:54):
myself, which is why I loveit. I mean, we watched in
the PG we had minus twenty andwe had fifteen people minus in scores.
Not yesterday, guys. It's toohard a course. You saw Scotti Scheffler
was finished. I think at pluseight you had people at plus nine plus
fourteen. George. It's really hard. So I want everybody to understand this

(14:16):
course they're playing was really hard.Before we say, Rory choked, it's
really hard. At whole fifteen,George, Rory is up fourteen. Excuse
me. Rory is minus eight,four strokes under. He played really well.
D Chambeau was minus six. Hewas one over, one over compared

(14:37):
to four under. Excuse me,make sure I get this right. So
Rory had put himself in position.He had come from minus four when the
leader was minus seven to Orius minuseight, and the leader's minus six the
leader of the day, which wasd Chambau, And then everything broke loose.

(14:58):
D Chambau misses a two and ahalf foot on fifteen, which I
thought ended his chances. Then onsixteen, Roy McElroy misses a two and
a half foot George, And oneighteen he missed a two and a half
footer on some of the toughest greensin golf. Did Rory joke or did
diceon Bryson d Chambeau with a fiftyfive yard sayd shot hardest shot in the

(15:20):
game to two and a half feetwin the tournament? In your opinion?
What happened? George? Now youknow what happened? What do you think?
Did somebody choker? Did somebody justwin the tournament? You answered me,
Jared, your sir, Oh ohwhat Jared? Like I said,
they trained professionals, They used tothis. You know, he made a

(15:41):
great comeback, and you know that'skind of difficult, Jared, to make
a great comeback. It takes alot out of you, you know.
But but he's been in the gamelong enough. He was supposed to be
the next title when Tiger right,so he's got the experience of being now
he knows what he's doing. Ijust think it, you know, he

(16:02):
voted, I don't like the wordchoke, you know, I just think
I really don't. You don't neverlike the word tooke. And the reason
I want like the word choke,Jared, I've never seen an athlete go
up for a championship shot. Itry to win a game and try to
throw it on purpose. I've neverseen that house. I know that.
Huh, yeah, you said thatbefore you have you're staying consistent, George,

(16:22):
if you do not like that before, I mean, I was taking.
All of us are taken big shots. All of us have made some
and miss something that's never been ashot I ever talked Jared that I shot
that I ever tried to miss whenit was when he left my hands.
So I can't say I love achoke. I missed them, but I
ain't choked, you know what Imean. That's why I feel with Roy.
But what I didn't like about Roybeing a champion he was and being

(16:45):
in the position that he was ishow he handled the press. Because if
that had been anybody else attacker haddone that, we would never have came.
We wouldn't have been talking about thechoke. We would have been talking
about leading the press conference. Andyou're trying to steal my next you're trying
to steal my article. But yes, George, no one hundred sent right,
we're gonna get to that. Justhold it right there. Oh okay,
yeah, hold it right there.Because when you hear the audio that

(17:06):
I have, George. It's adress scene just that point, Anthony.
Did he choke fold like George said, or did Dice Bryson D. Shambo
defeat him? Which one? NowShambo got him, I do. Even
when we watched this, I toldyou you said that you have Macro Macre
score good enough. Yes, he'snot gonna score well enough to make a

(17:27):
pushe at pinehis because it's just tootough. I was like, I was
like, unless the Shambo just completelyfold, and I said it. I
said, interv shoots around the evenpart which he shot plus on him to
finish yesterday, to finish minu six, like he's still gonna beat Rory because
Rory's not gonna score. And literallywhat I said happened, did no?
I was Anthony at fifteen. GeorgeWilliams were watching his father's day. Of

(17:51):
course, had a great day.Boys came over, My daughters came and
we just hung out, watched TVeight, had fun. But I said,
I thought, because Anthony, theold reason is Bryson D. Chambeau
did not. He only hit threefairways yesterday's guys, and I thought that
would cost you. George, thereis something called luck. I want people
to understand that John wouldn't put itin his book. Hard work in preparations

(18:15):
always help you get lucky, becauseGeorge, you need luck. Because that
boy was in the wicket in thehigh grass more than anybody all day and
was able to recover. I thoughton eighteen Anthony he had finally put himself
and he was Bryson D. Chambeauin a position where he still was going
to give to Rory. But hemade a great said shot. The deal

(18:36):
is this. He went from minusfour to minus eight. He has won
four majors. Like you said,George, he was supposed to be the
next coming of Jack Nicholas, thegreatest tiger Wood's second best. Rory was
supposed to be next bottom line flatdap fact comes out of the box just
killing people. We were looking atthe next tiger Woods and we really were

(18:56):
hit it a long way. Chartismatic, He spoke so well, he just
was all around good guy. Thenhe started to fold in these championship matches.
So listen to this, George.He's thirty five, twenty one,
top ten in majors twenty one.Anthony's corrected. He can't finish the deal.

(19:18):
He's been right where he's been wherewe watched him yesterday. He cannot
finish the deal. He has notfinished the deal. So I want you
to listen to Matt Low the clipI sent. You're gonna listen a little
bit, and we're going to hearsomeone talking about other people that had disasters
ends like Phil Nicholson that hit it. I mean he hit it on top
of my roof. He hit itso far wayward on the eighteenth hole.

(19:41):
There have been a lot of peoplethat had folded in majors that had bounced
back. I just don't know ifRory will bounce back. Let's listen to
the clip guys visits with the mediaafter an he finished good or bad in
the drought, if you want toframe it that way. In majors for
a guy who's comes so close sooften since his last win, particularly in

(20:03):
this US Open, now six consecutivetop tens, three straight top fives,
a solo runner up by just asingle stroke in back the Back years,
his fourth career runner up at anymajor, all since two thousand and eighteen.
Now, Rory is one of myvery favorite people in the sport.
For a lot of different reasons.One, He's a thinker and he answers
things thoughtfully. He's also a greatchampion and today understandably a bitter pill,

(20:27):
a chance to end this major listdrought, and it slips away as it
did. But I think about this. Phil Mickelson, the US Open,
hit it off a beer tent onthe seventy second hold at wingfoot to lose
with a double, and he saidafterwards, I'm such an idiot. Greg
Norman melted over the course of fivebrutal hours the Masters in ninety six as
his seemingly insurmountable lead evaporated, andwhen it mercifully ended, he stood there

(20:51):
under the magnolia trees and the darkness, and he answered the questions about what
happened. I'm certain he would havepreferred that the earth open up and swallow
him. Hole. He stood thereand he took it. Rory today did
not, And you just have tohow it got away on this Sunday and
the fact that he walked away withoutspeaking about it will both be remembered.

(21:12):
Guys, we're at seven thirty,but we're not going to end this segment.
George, you spoke about it.You allude it to just this.
I don't mind him losing at all. Someone has been after me for two
weeks saying, hey, you didn'ttalk about Andrew Rees not talking once the
young lady that plays for the Chicagoskuy guys. George is right. We

(21:36):
have spoken about everybody that does notgo to their press conferences, from Rick
Patino to John Tyler, Perry gotme Ef, Anthony, George and I.
Everyone loses. You're not a loserwhen you lose sports, there's a
winner, there's a loser. That'sall there is to it. There's only
going to be one national champion infootball and in basketball and baseball. But
that doesn't mean that you're a loser. You just didn't bring home the crowd.

(22:00):
George says it all the time.Still means you're a winner. You
produced, You put yourself in position. Rory Microy had put himself in position.
Again. That's why I love theguy. I still do. But
I was disappointed in yesterday. SoGeorge, you spoke about it. Now
that you got to hear about it, He walked on the press conference.
What do you think I'm gonna lety'all both give your opinions. I'm gonna

(22:22):
read something to everybody, then we'llgo to break. He walked on the
press conference. George. Well,well, Jerry, I mean when you
when you deal with greatness. Imean we talk about this all the time,
you know. You We've had coacheswho helped melt downs after they come
out that you know. We've talkedabout how long you need to stay before
you need to come out to getyourself aculmented ready to go and speak.

(22:44):
But it's your obligation to go andspeak. I mean, Jerry, had
that been Tiger, any other brettfaany great athlete like that, we would
be on him both feet. Imean, the man must do it.
He's a veculine field, one ofthe scene on the club. And you
call the controversy with the lil thingyourself because you may the sign it.
So you've got to stand up whenyou when you do good, Joe,

(23:06):
you got gotta take it. Whenyou do bad, you gotta take it.
You know what I mean. I'llget aggat. Yes, yes,
no, I agree, Anthony,I agree. I would just say it's
all for full circle and it comeswith the responsibility that you have as being
an athlete. So when you getpaid millions of dollars you have a fan

(23:27):
base, you're in the highest namesup in the chair and the board for
the Players Association. You have tobe able to hand circumstances of good and
bad. You know, he's beenkind of, I don't want to say,
showing his colors, but through hisfrustration later you can kind of see
those negative aspects starting to pop outa little more than they have earlier off

(23:48):
in his career. When he wasrolling, he was on fire. You
know, he tries to. Ithink he's been trying to hold his composure
well, but he's been kind oflosing his cool. Even last year at
the Ryder Cup. We saw thehighlights they show him kind of just you
know, going a little crazy ofPatrick can't Ley, and then also not
going to the press conference after theUS opened because he fell short to Bryce
and the Shamblle. And I thinkit seems them a little bit that he

(24:11):
is struggling to win on a tourand live players aren't even trying to live
tour in coming to majors in theirwinning events. I think that's bothering him
quite a bit. It would botherme also, And they took the money,
the pressure guys of a major wasyou made a lot of money with
the win. Now, George Anthony, everyone knows golfers make unbelievable I'm telling

(24:33):
you they make money, they haveendorsements, They all make crazy money,
just like all athletes. But itused to be the pressure of having when
Tiger Woods, Jack Nicholas were gettingit done. Arnold Palmer, guys,
you had to win to make themoney. Got me. You had to
win to make the real money.Now the endorsement's off. The course has
gone crazy. The live tours allowedpeople like Dustin Johnson. He played,

(24:56):
he should play with us. Anthonyused to be one of the d his
golfer's ever and just doesn't have it. He took the money, he lost
the drive. That's why it's alwaysfrightening when you offer people money and it's
not attached to winning. But atthirty five years old Rory's experience, he
should not have done that. I'mgonna read you something, George, and

(25:18):
I think it's really fitting. Youwill continue to suffer if you have an
emotional reaction to everything that is saidto you. True power is sitting back
and observing things with logic. Truepower is restraint. If words control you,
that means everyone else can control youbreathe and allow things to pass,

(25:41):
and not facing the media, whichmeant he didn't want to have to talk
to people. George, he justdidn't take a deep breath, sit down
and allow things to pass. Iput that a lot on his agent that
was in the room with him,his caddy that was with him, all
of them are supposed to tell himyou're better than that. Now, it

(26:03):
doesn't mean he can't correct himself.America is one of the greatest places in
the world because we love comebacks,and Phil Nicholson did come back and win
one at age almost forty nine yearsold. He did. I just hope
that Rory comes back and explains topeople why he did what he did and
apologizes sincerely, because it's big.Because that came from and I read all

(26:25):
his things. I think a lotof people should. That's Warren Buffett's quote.
One of the richest guys in theworld. Warren Buffett is really,
really, really good, and Ithink people should read a lot of his
things. So guys, at seventhirty six, we're gonna get the break
I got the George Williams, AnthonyEves when we come back. Hey,
I'm gonna just ask you one questionwhen we come back, Tiger Woods,

(26:47):
justin Thomas, they might be playingin my tour. Esports Radio will talk
to you after the break. Welcomeback to the Sports Radio June the seventeenth,
twenty twenty four. I've got GeorgeWilliams, I've got Anthony Eaves.
Guys, before we move from thisgolf top, I'm gonna give Anthony a

(27:07):
fun when. I'm gonna give youa hard when Anthony, you're first this
time, Tiger Woods alluded to thatthis may have been his last US Open.
He wasn't sure. He was frustratedin his play. Anthony, Would
you please tell Tiger when you seehim next that if you can't play in
tournaments before, playing in events thatare this hard, don't expect greatness.

(27:29):
His attribute was for preparation. Nowhe thinks he can just show up and
walk in tournaments like the Masters orthe US Open or the PGA tournament and
do well. That's just not realistic. What do you think, man,
Will Tiger get it together or doeshe need to just move on? Come
on to the TV, to theradio ranks. Man, Tiger's been done

(27:49):
for a while. He won Iwon last Masters have been a few years
ago, but a realistic come backfrom Tiger Woods is about slimming done at
this point. Now, it's moreof just kind of seeing him on the
course, you know, especially ifyou're going, if you go to an
actual event, you see him,it's one of those things. It's like
it's nostalgic. But to be onI was like a kid, We're praying

(28:14):
that he like, we just hopehe makes the cup, but he's not
making the cup, so it's justlike, you know, and then like,
even if he does make the count, he's withdrawn by the beginning of
the third round. Something's wrong withhim, an injury. He's just old.
He's had a lot of injuries,so you can't really expect much.
Like if he makes it, you'relike, oh, that's great. If
he doesn't, you're like, well, that's what I kind of assumed in

(28:34):
the first place. Yeah, No, I agree. No one's a larger
fan than Tiger Woods than Jerry Eves, no one. But and he's had
a fantastic career. He's the secondgreatest golfer ever. Got me Jack's first
guy's bottom line, but he's second. Uh, he has brought more notoriety
to the game of golf than anyone. Just like Caitlin, Clark's not the

(28:57):
best player guy players, she's not, but she's brought the most notoriety so
far. But she's not the bestplayer. Got me, I don't done
it. I don't want people toget my words twisted. Tiger Woods was
the greatest player for an era assegment of time than anyone. Number one
golfer for two hundred and fifty somethingweeks. No one's ever done that.

(29:18):
George. It's incredible, two hundredand fifty something weeks the number one golfer,
but he needs to slow his road. Tough question for you, George.
Justin Thomas has really been struggling.He was number one Guy Lee three
years ago. He's struggling to makecuts. He played well in the PGA
Tournament at Valhalla, which is hisbackyard, but again in the US Open

(29:40):
miscut. His dad has been hiscoaching done a fantastic job with the young
man. Tremendous young kid, Imean, nicest kid you ever run into.
Is it time for him to lookat a coaching change in your opinion,
George, to move on from dad? And that's a tough one,
George, Dad's a golf professional,runs Harmony Landing, this is a tough

(30:00):
one. What do you think,well, Jerry, I think is he
going through some things off the golfcourse that may be causing some some problems,
you know, he and some familyissues. If I'm not mistaken,
you know what I mean, Icould be now that. I don't know
if I thought he was fairly clean. Anthony, help us out, an
he knows. It's just no,no, no, he's not No.

(30:22):
That was that was I'm sorry.I'm sorry, but I don't know well
enough Jerry. But like I said, I you know, I'm not a
guy listen to the golf game.So I don't know when you need a
new coach or nothing like that,you know, But I had a question
for you and Anthony. You know, we're talking about the game yesterday,
and you know, and playing basketball, Jerry, you know, when you

(30:45):
get up so many points and aguy trying to make a comeback, you
know, you you can almost tellif you have the energy to take him
out. It's golf the same way. Did you think that the league was
big enough that that that Roy couldnot overcome? And then when he did
get back that the opponent was strongerthan he was and was able to take
to beat him. Great point,George. Yes, when you're playing eighteen

(31:07):
holes on the course, that hard, George, and you have to make
a comeback, which is he madea four swing. He went from minus
four to minus eight on of course. That tough. You may be correct,
George. It may have taken histank to empty. Bryce and d
Chambeau, which truly, if youcompare final rounds, played worse than Rory
did. All he had to dowas hold on, and once he was

(31:30):
able to hold on. Great point. Yes, I think that course was
so hard George, yesterday. Imean so hard. When you say Scottie
Scheffler's plus eight, George, thatjust lets you know plus eight. You
had guys plus fourteen, George,professionals playing that course that are great players,

(31:52):
that were plus fourteen. It wasjust that hard. You may be
correct. Rory with the comeback mayhave taken his tank top and had nothing
left those last three hoes. Greatpossibility, George. I mean, I'm
not saying that. People want tosay he was a joker, but that's
a great possibility. It was goahead. Heah, yeah, No,

(32:15):
I didn't say anything. No,it wouldn't you think you think, George
ask you, George ask you,do you think that he ran out of
gas? No? I don't sayhe ran out of gap. It was
this is a tough course, thesame statement I said before. I just
didn't think he was gonna make abig enough push in one round to come

(32:37):
back and close it out. Justfor him to be like He's gonna go
out there and shoot a sixty eightor sixty seven, in my opinion,
was just a little unrealistic unless heplayed absolutely phenomenal, even Deshamba's best round,
and he played on Saturday. Heshot a sixty seven, and he
had he got every bounce, everyevery role, every possible lie you could
think of to shoot the round inhis life. I don't think anyone else

(32:59):
shouan lower sixty seven exactly now.But what the question I asked answer?
It was like when you playing sports, and you especially like in basketball,
when you know you you got abig lead and the team is making a
comeback, do you do you thinkit took everything out of him? Because
my man had to have the confidenceto know that I'm still I got him
where I want him at that's that'sthe only thing that's a hard comparison because

(33:23):
golf, I just want to knowit's that's a hard comparison because you know,
I played golf and I'm not I'mnot nearly I'm not even a fraction
of the skill of over they arecomeback in basketball is a lot different than
it is in golf. Golf thelies change on every hole, there's wind,

(33:45):
different terrains. You can hit itthen in the middle of the fairway
and still being a divid The conditionsfor basketball never change. Only thing is
if you're getting hit a shot,if you can defend. But for golf,
it's all mental. It's all onyourself. Basketball, you can go
out there, I can shoot fromthirty feet every time from this same spot
and the rims is never gonna move. Yeah. For golf, we'll go
out there from the same one hundredand forty nine yard distance and every green

(34:07):
and slope is completely different than thelast one. I was just speaking on
the mental aspect of it, becausewhen you you know you have an opponent
down, it's hard to let himcome back and beat you. If you
know that you are better than heis. You know what I mean?
That's what I was thinking. Hisconfidence was over the other guy. And
it's forty seven just to get tobreak. When we come back, we'll

(34:28):
talk about it more. George.All right, great point. You got
to understand both of the guys areplaying the course right basketball, they're playing
against each other. I would it'scrazy, is it, George? You
know what they say. The toughestpart of golf is, George, the
four and a half inches in thatcup and the four and a half inches

(34:50):
between your ears. George, getthe toughest four and a half inches,
Jerry, that's what you're talking about, George. Your question is four and
a half inches between your ears,George. And the game of golf is
really difficult. Like Anthony said,the elements don't change in basketball. You
just, George, that fifteen footbank shot. You just missed it.
Georgie. You may not have thesame shot in golf and play four rounds

(35:13):
and never have the same shot atthe same spot. That's It's just it's
a wicked game, George. It'salready seven forty eight. Great question,
though, George, great question.When we come back, we're gonna stay
there and we're gonna talk a littlebit about the NBA, is is George
Williams, Anthony Eves and the brand. We'll talk to you in a minute.
Welcome back to the East Words Radio, Monday, June seventeenth, seven

(35:35):
fifty two. Anthony, all Ican say is this, I took George
out behind the woodshit and I beathim one hundred and twenty two to eighty
four. Anthony, what do youthink happens when George Williams and Jerry's has
the rematch the Boston Celtics George Williamsagainst the Dallas Mavericks Jerry Eves? What
happens tonight? I'm not sure honestly, because I've I've been my predictions wrong.

(36:00):
So I'm a little I'm a littlea little fuss back on my own
opinion. You know, I thinkthe Dallas has got a lot of momentum
going into Game five. Going intoBoston is gonna be a little bit more
difficult. Obviously, they've struggled toplay in Boston owing to there earlier off
in the series. But this isone of those things that they could come

(36:22):
out there and play well and definitelywin in Game five. But I think
this game has more pressure in Bostonthan Dallas does. Dallas is already kind
of in a whole People have alreadykind of counted them out in the series,
being down three to zero now threeto one. If the Mavericks win
in Boston and go back home fromGay six and conceal a win, it's
gonna make Game six and seven veryinteresting. This right here. Obviously it's

(36:43):
an elimination game, so it isa do or die situation. But to
win this game is it makes itso much different change in perspective of how
the series can actually turn out andend for the Mavericks. I agree,
George, I took you behind thewoodshed, George, I got the best
of that game four. What happenstonight? Dad, you back out in
front of your fans, I'll handyou behind. What are you gonna do

(37:06):
today? Yeah, you're very articulatein the way you said that. Man,
Then you see, I see,I see. The genetics of not
being able to pick the winners isin the family. Jared, I just
say eighteen. I'm gonna leave theshow with eighteen. Eighteen. Yeah,
that's I mean, Ban will havea bunch of wall and when this one
goes up, I think they gotseventeen him and the Lakers got seventeen apiece.

(37:28):
I'm saying eighteen. It'll be eighteenup right the night of the night
you say, I'm saying eighteen.Yeah, I know you'll catch up with
this pretty soon. Okay, buteighteen will be on the wall, brother,
nobody else will be able to say. That won't be no tie with
the Lakers, no more, won'tbe no tied with nobody else. And
what'll send that Dallas back down thereso you can see if they can support

(37:50):
the cowboys and keep the losing traditiongoing on. Hold, I'm believed your
cowboys out of this. My wifeis going on, I'm playing cowboys man
Los Losers, and we're gonna putup imm Smith and say something about that.
You want me to post my picturewith Immit Smith, Emmit Smith tray
pictures. Look remember them? Theythen history books like me and you now
