  Speaker 1: All right, Well, guess what, Just a few hours after
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: my conversation with Ken david Off was published, I now
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: have another legend on my line. It is lou Terminello.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Terminello's take. You know, we had a load choppiness on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Friday when I was trying to get to the games
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for the physically challenge for the anniversary. But we got
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: that interview done before Game seven. Then add Game seven
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: happens and the Spurs look, uh dominant? Do they not
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: heading into this final? I mean, they look pretty good
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: heading into the final? But where did okay see go?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: That's the other question I have for you, Louis.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, Alex, thanks for having me. As always, what happened? Okay?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: See's very simple? Uh? They really they didn't miss Jaalen
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Williams in those earlier rounds because they just boat raced
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the Suns and the Lakers. But as a competition got
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: tough for they missed their second best player, and they
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: missed aj Mitchell, who was having a tremendous postseason for
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the last couple of games. And they got nothing from
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Cheded Holmgren in this series, who was just terrible in
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: this series and really terrible on in Game seven and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: they were throwing the Spurs with throwing two players at
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Shane Gildas Alexander whenever he got the ball and he
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: couldn't do it alone. The Spurs were the better team
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: in the set. Over the seven games series, they were.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I think if they were if okay See was healthy,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: okay See would have won. And if they were healthy,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I think they would have won the championship. But San
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Antonio was the better team from really from when you
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: look at all seven games and just collaborate them, it's
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: alex they were a better team. They deserve to win
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: as young as they were, you know they they deserve
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to win. I mean it's it was clear.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Wow. And I gotta say some kudos because I live
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: half a mile from Saint John, so Julian Champagny, who
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: was on our air waves. I mean when John Minco
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: would call his name, he most likely heard his name
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on A five seventy and AM nine seventy during those years.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I mean that that was how I knew Champagny. And
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: look what he's on the NBA Finals now, So really
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: proud for that, Saint John. How about Dylan Harper, how
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: about Stephen Castle in the Big East and Yukon alone.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a nice representation in the tri stated area.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Is they have three contributing Big East players. You know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Champagne was cut by the Sixers, and I give him
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of credit continue to work on his game,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and he's a you know, he's a really good perimeter shooter,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: which opens up everything for Victor webin Yama, who could
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: also hit from the outside. But Stephen Castle, obviously he's
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a superior defensive player. He's especially perimeter defense, and he's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: going to be a key guy guarding Brunson in this series.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And Dylan Hawpe. We know how good he was at
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Rutgers last year, and I was really hoping that he
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: would be playing in the Metropolitan area if the Nets
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: had gotten that number two pick behind a Cooper flag.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: But they didn't. The Spurs got lucky. They moved up
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a significantly amount of spaces and they draft him and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: he kid's not playing like a twenty year old. He
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: really isn't. I really, I really like the kid. I
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: love the kid at Rutgers. I love him. I was
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: gonna get better and better this This this Spurs team
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: is is very very good. But that being said. That
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: being said, I don't think they're gonna beat the next
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you know my theory, four out of seven. I don't
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: think that the Spurs can beat the nixt four out
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of seven. I really don't, you know, the you know
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: A Victor Weberama is the most talented player on the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: on both rosters, and everybody's saying, well, he, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the best, he's the best player in the series. I'm
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: not so sure. Alex. Yes, he you know, he's twenty
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: two years old. I don't know if his game is
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: complete yet. Yes, he plays a complete game, but can
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: he get better? I'm not blaming, don't get me wrong.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying that Brunson is better than Wemby, but
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: maybe for the series, Brunson is the best player in
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the series. He's going to control the ball. He's a veteran.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: He got a veteran team again, aainst the young team.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Will San Antonio be happy just that they that they
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: beat Okase? And yes they want to win the NBA Championship,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But mentally are they are they there to win four
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: more games? Are they mentally tough? I know the Knicks
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: are mentally tough. That the Knicks the Knicks realize that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: from the from the head coach on down to the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: twelfth man, that this is their time to win the championship.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And I think I think they're going to. I think
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: they're gonna get physical with Wemby.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And right, that's the logical matchup.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if they're gonna put
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Cat on him or if they're gonna put O g
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and Unobi on them. Now, don't don't be surprised when
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: this series is over and if the Knicks win, if
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Brunson in all likelihood probably would be the MVP of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the finals because obviously he's gonna you know, he'll be
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: a key guy. But Anonobi could be a finals MVP.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It really, I mean, I really think he's the key guys.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You know, and I know, I know I mentioned baseball
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: last week too, but he's almost like the Matsui of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: this team, you know what I mean, Like he's got
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that clutch in him. But he's not the always talked
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: about guy either, That's correct.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, I would agree with you. I think that,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: you know, Ananobi can throw Wemby if he's on him,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: which I think he will be, especially in some of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the big possessions throw off his game just enough to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: create those segments of the game where the Knicks get
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: those six points and uh, San Antonio turns the ball over,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you know, and this I just I just think that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: they're gonna throw a lot, a lot at him. But
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: you know, San Antonio is a deep team. But they're
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: also the youngest team in the NBA. Are they mature enough?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: You know, Stephen Castle, Stefan Castle is uh. You know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: he's an excellent defender. He's an excellent player, but sometimes
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it's just his decision making comes into play. He turns
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the ball over. They need DeAndre Fox to have a
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: big series. He's a veteran. He's an eight or nine
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: year veteran. You know. I know he missed a couple
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of games with the ankle, but he has to put
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that past them, and they need that ankle to hold
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: up for four seven game series. I think the Knicks
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: are and I think the Knicks are in great shape.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I really do. I think I think they're gonna get
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: a split in San Antonio. I mean, I think they're
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: got split in San Antonio. I think they're gonna win
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: both games in New York. I think they're gonna go
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: back to San Antonio for Game five up three to one,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and uh, they might lose Game five, but I think
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: they're gonna win Game six. I really, I really think
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: this is their time. And yes they have the way
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the bracket has fallen their way, Yes it has fallen
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: that way, but that's that's the way it goes. And
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: they're playing great. They're not beating people, they're pulverizing people.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: They send an NBA record they're plus what plus two
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: sixty two or some ridiculous total like that. They've killed everybody.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: No team has, No team has had a point spread
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: like they've had in the history of the NBA playoffs.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I think it's their time, Alex. I do. I really do.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Well. Yeah, And I'll tell you how interesting and generational
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this is. Even those in the seventies that were around
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: wanting to see it again after that, and they've been
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: waiting just as long as the younger nick fans. So
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: it's it's all like a homeoltivelative.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Wait, you know what's uh ironic for the other MSG tenant,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it was fifty four years the drought. This is fifty
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: three years. So there's come there's some kind of uh
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you know, comparison similation, whatever you want to call it. There. Uh,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: it just seems to me that that, uh, this could
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: be it. Really this this drought could could end for them.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: They're playing great. I mean, they they got they've actually
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: turned the game around during the playoffs. They've he actually
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: turned even some of the assignments that some of these
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: players had during the playoffs, which is hard to do.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you talked about Cat, he's playing great defensively,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and they probably will'll start him on Wenby. I don't
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: know if they will, because the one one downfall for
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Cat is he has it he has a tendency to
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: get into foul trouble. Now, Mitchell Robinson has a broken pinky,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: it's I don't think first of all, they'll they'll tape
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: them up and they'll they'll put some kind of everything
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: legally that they could put on them, whether it's a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: splint or you know, a soft splint. I don't think
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the injury is gonna hurt his game that much because
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: he doesn't pass the ball, he doesn't shoot the ball
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: except dunk. And you know he's a great rebounder and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: shot blocker. Uh so uh and I think they're going
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: a rough Wemby up a little bit, I really do.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, and I don't mean that I legally, I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: mean just within the framework of the rules. And I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: really uh positive about this next team. Hey could could they?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Could they lose? Can they lose the series? Sure? They could?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: But is San Antonio exhausted from the from Oklahoma City? Mentally?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Are they exhausted more mentally than physically? Like I said
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: a couple of minutes ago, are they happy that that
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: they beat OKAC? And okay? Mentally? All right? Will settle
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: for this? You know, young guys are are tough to figure.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: You saw how emotional the Spurs were after the game.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Wemby was very emotional. But can he carry his team
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: to an NBA title which would be the sixth for
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the Spurs since nineteen ninety nine, which is unbelievable. And
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: they should have also the one that they lost, you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they won five titles, the one that they lost to Miami,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: they should have won that one. Popovich blew that series
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: that one game for him and it cost him a series.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Even the greatest coaches like Popovich make mistakes. So but
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to the series I am, I am,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and they got Bridges playing well, and you know they're
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: gonna use Shaman, who's been tremendous in the playoffs, both
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: offensively and defensively. If the Spurs cannot turn the ball
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: over and they did that sometimes with a lot of
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Kalis turnovers in the last series, but they won't. They
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: still wont a game seven on the road, and for
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: a young team, that's pretty good.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Well, and they also made ninety nine percent of those shots.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: It felt like everything was going in on Saturday night. Meanwhile,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: meanwhile on the other side, okay, see was struggling. SGA
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: calling the failure. I told you in the beginning of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: this playoffs or maybe even a couple of rounds, And
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I said, remember how SJA was asked if this team
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: was a dynasty. You're not a dynasty if you can't
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: win win more than one championship in a row. I mean,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: that's not dynastics. So no, it's not long ways to.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Go, and they're very young, so they'll be It's not
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: that they're going away, so you know they'll be back,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: that's for sure. I was surprised they lost.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: We'll have to see if Kennedy of heroes will have
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it for eight and I have a certain mayoral march
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: in it. If that's the case, we don't know yet.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: But anyway, one game at a time, one possession at
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a time, NBA Finals, you know, anything can happen. I mean,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking how it wasn't about ten years ago,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: right Cleveland was up three to one and that they lose.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: That it's just been you know the fin Anything can
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: happened in these finals.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Well, it's Golden State was up three to one and
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Cleveland came back to beat them. That that's gold ye, yes,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: and then Cleveland broke the long Cleveland drought of sports
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: championships and uh, Kyrie hit that shot at the end
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and that was That was quite a series and you
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: know it broke broke that rout. But I could tell
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: you one thing this Cleveland team was that that was
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: breaking no droughts.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: But I think you'd agree one possession at a time
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and absolutely yeah, out of doubt.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: So you gotta treat every possession like its gold.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Oh. I love that line well, and I think that's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a life lesson right there too. So with that in mind,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: let's go to the ice and as we talked, about
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the Canadian The Hurricanes did win obviously Saturday Night, but
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: more importantly the storylines Luis John Tortorella and the Golden Knights.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: KeAndre Miller, who was just on the Rangers a year ago,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: almost having that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Alex. He's playing spectacular, almost.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Having like a sa Quan season where he lived in
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: New York and gets on a team that's in the final,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you know, like in the championship. Now, I think like
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: sa Quon winning Bowl his first year out of New York,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: ke Andre has a very good chance of winning a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Cup his very first year out of New York.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: He's playing the best hockey of his career. Alex. He's
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: not turning the puck over like he did with the
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: with the Rangers, you know, the last year a year
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: and a half, he was like the human turnover. And uh,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: obviously he's playing on a team that's a better team,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: more structured, but he's playing great. Another guy who is
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: an older guy, DeAndre Miller, still a young guy in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the prime of his career. But another guy that looked
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: like he was done, uh, and he's playing great for
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: them is Taylor Hall. I mean, he's playing he's playing
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: great for him and he's playing his best.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Hockey back in the day.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: He won m v he won m v P, he
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: won the Heart Trophy. But I look for a low
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: scoring series, I really do. Both teams really pay mind
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: to their defensive assignments, and uh, I don't don't take it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to see a high scoring series.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: You know, Carolina is so aggressive with their four check.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: You know, they basically play play like a man to
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: man defense, both up front and with their defenseman. Vegas
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: checks very well also. But both teams are very deep,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and both teams are big teams. Both teams have goalies
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: that have played great. But both both Freddie Anderson of
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the Carolina Hurricanes and Carter Hart of Vegas are trying
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to overcome different kinds of past troubles inconsistency on Anderson's
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: part in the regular season in playoffs, is he the
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: goalider that could lead us to a championship? I mean
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: it was with Toronto and uh he had you know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: he was trade to Carolina and Carter Hart we talked
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: about his problems that he was acquitted in that sexual
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: assault trial with the of his four other teammates when
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: they won the World juniors back in you know, back
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. I believe it was seventeen or eighteen.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, Louis, because I want to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: talk about the generic, the general scope of things. No
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: matter who's the NBA finals year after year, I always
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: feel like New York does follow the NBA Finals, But
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: then you don't see New Yorkers following the Cup as well.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, what can the NHL do better to say, hey,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: watch our Stanley Cup. Maybe they're not doing enough, Louise.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I think the league, I mean it is what is
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: If you're not a fan of I'm gonna watch all
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: seven games of both series if they both go seven.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: You know that, you know, you know I'm a hockey guy. Obviously,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you know i am a basketball guy. These are big,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: These are big events. I think the hockey will get
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: good ratings. They're not going to get NBA level ratings.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: There's really nothing more you can do. Some fans of
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the Rangers, the Islanders and the Devils, they only are
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: interested in the Rangers, the Islanders are the Devils. What
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: is there anything the NHL can do? I don't think so.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, this year, thankfully, the Stanley Cup final is
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: on over the air TV, not on tn T. I don't.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: As I've said to you in the past, I think
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: the NHL made a huge mistake by not having the
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: finals every year on and over the air network. They
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: could have done a separate deal just for the Stanley
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Cup Final every other year instead of having it on
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: tn T. A tn T does a great job in
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the regular season in the playoffs, but when you get
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: to the finals, you want it on over the air TV.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: People just run into it. People do not run into
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: it if it's on cable most of the time. I
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: think that. I mean, yes, they're small markets, it's not
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, ideally what they would uh they would want
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Colorado in it, and uh they probably would have taken
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Colorado and Carolina, but they didn't get that. And you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I'm interested, some of my friends are.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I'm probably going to tune in for the pregame show
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: because we know Vegas goes all out with their pregame stuff.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Yet there, I mean, it's Vegas. They're very theatrical, if
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: you will so well. Carolina has that damn thing they spin.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is exactly, but they wind
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it up and all.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: That yeah, but then they'll have somebody I think, I
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: think the Hall of Famer Luke Keikley of you know,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: it was a legend in Carolina, even though in Charlotte,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: not in Raleigh. That's the other thing. A lot of people,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: if you tell them where does the Carolina uh Hurricane play,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: They'll say in Charlotte, But the Carolina Hurricanes play in Raleigh,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: and the Carolina Panthers playing in Charlotte.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: And I know this because I actually passed through Raley,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Raleigh on the way down the spring training a couple
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of years many years ago, and in a oh my gosh,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: what's that place called like Jack in the Box I
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: think I went into on our way down to Florida.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: They had Carolina Hurricanes stuff, you know, so I kind
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: of knew we were in Carolina in Hurricanes town, but yeah,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you mentioned them. Though. It's been a fun fall and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: winter for Carolina because even their football teams showed a
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: lot of progress, you know. I mean, it's it's kind
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of fun to be in Carolina right now.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, absolutely, And this team has been good for
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: a long time. You know, they were They lost seventeen
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: out of eighteen conference finals games and then they won
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: four in a row and they wore down Montreal. And
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: when you look at my Montreal, Montreal reminds me a
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: little bit of the Spurs. They were a team on
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: you know, on the common, They're gonna team that's going
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to be very good, and they're very young. I believe
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: they were the youngest team in the NHL. They beat Tampa.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: You know, they play the seven game series against Tampa,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: then the seven game series against another up and coming
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: team in Buffalo. That's fourteen games. When they got to Carolina,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: who has gone to the Stanley Cup Final playing just
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: thirteen games, the least amount of games to get to
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: a Stanley Cup Final in history. Montreal is exhausted and that,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: you know, if you want to parallel that to the
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: NBA Final, is are the Spurs going to be exhausted
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: in this final? So you know, there's always a lot
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: of ways to look at it. But you know, Carolina
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: never never stops. They never end with that relentless ford check.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I like Carolina and said.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Well, one other thing, and my friend was putting this
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: out the other day. Brenda Moore has not been has
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: always been part of this team since two thousand and four,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and he's always been in the playoffs as a player
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: or a coach. It's kind of cool to see him continue.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: And maybe we needed to talk about that for a second. Well,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't appreciate the coaching matchups enough in
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: these hockey matchups. But I kind of like seeing Brenda
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Moore versus Tortorella. That's gonna be really fun to watch.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: And uh, oh would definitely be fun to watch. I mean,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Tortorella could win his second Stanley Cup one you know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: one with Tampa, one with with Vegas.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And if he does, I hope he credits Brooksy for
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: all of his drawing back and forth, because I'm sure
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he's I don't think he will not think of him
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: right now, you know, because.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: That was Alex. He gotta be realistic. He's not thinking
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: of He's not thinking of Lovery Brooks had knocked down,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: diregged out fights with He's not.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: He's not who knows, but anyway, No, it'll be fun.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Uh And then I mean when it broke down the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Vegas players the other day and the Keynes players. Now,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it's gonna see how it goes. I see that Brendan
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Gallagher hint that he may not come back to Montreal,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Is that correct?
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Yes? I saw that, and uh, there'll be a team
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: out there. I don't know how much he has left.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I was surprise. I thought he would
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: uh uh. They put him in a lineup for Game
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: five against Carolina the other night. I thought they would
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: put him in the lineup for Game seven against Buffalo
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: and they didn't. Uh, so I you know, somebody will
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: pick him up. I don't think that he's totally done.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong on that, but if somebody wants
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: somebody who has who's a little pugnacious, and you know
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: it was on the cusp between development and content there,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I could I could definitely see him there. Obviously, he's
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: had a terrific career with the Canadians, and by again,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Flyers would be.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: An interesting team to go on. If they're looking to that, well,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: that could that that could be.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I could see him on the Flyers. I could see
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: him on Toronto. They need a little kick in the butt,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: you know, coming off the disaster year that they had
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: this year, and you know, months from now is the
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: beginning of trade and free agency in the NHL. Month
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: from today, and I'm sure the Austin Matthews rumors are
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: going to be kicking up if he's going to stay
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: in Toronto or is Toronto going to trade him? You know,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: so it'll be it's gonna be interesting, interesting off season
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: for the NHL. But let's let's get through the Stanley
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Cup Final, which I'm really looking for, and I think
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: it's going to go to limit. I mean it's that
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: it's that tight. Well haven't you got You got twelve
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: thirteen guys, including Tortorella who won the Cup, and there's
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: something that experience you can't you can't underestimate.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Well, I know you want to focus on both the
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals and a Stanley Cup, but I want to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: give a shout out this Monday night to a team
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: in Queens, not the Mets, not Queen's College baseball I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: think the earlier, but Saint John's Baseball going to the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Super Regional finals.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Congratulations, they won a nice game today.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, lou I just saw them a couple of
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: weeks ago in their home ballpark, and I'm like, you know,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you kind of knew they were gonna win the Big
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: East at some point because they had the momentum. But
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: they look like a put together team, and they've got
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: really great talent. In fact, one of the kids was scouted.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: The catcher was scouted that day I was at the ballpark.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: So Mike Campton's doing a great job. He's been there
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of years of course, learned under ed Blankmeyer,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and he's taking him further than anybody in a while.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited. It is always fun to see them
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: succeed because of my personal connection to that team, you know,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: knowing Patino, now I know Hampton, I mean just and
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and New York City deserves to see Saint John's go far.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: But as we talk about over and over, we need
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: more outlets than just mind talking about it. You know,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: like this is a big deal at Saint John's.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Baseball's moving on, no, and if they if they advanced
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: into super regionals, it's uh going to uh uh be
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: more interesting.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: And use has a great history. I mean we you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: we know of some great players to have played there,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: including John Franco and uh so it's uh, you know it's.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Not I believe someone who used to coach at Queen's,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Joe Russo, used to be the coach over there as well.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: So I mean a.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Lot of memories. And you know, I remember gonna say
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: when Stonybrook was going far in their in their years
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: there a couple of times. So, you know, college baseball
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: New York is here. I just feel like it needs
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: more eyes on it.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and again we've talked about stuff like this in
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the past. New York has so many teams, so many sports,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: it's hard to it's hard to uh follow them all.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: It just is. And that's why unlike say, teams in
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the Southeast Conference Room, the Big twelve, where you see four, five, six,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: seven people at their games, that that doesn't happen here
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: in the metropolitan area because you got the Mets and
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: you got the Yankees.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: And uh, while the last Jack Frank Catalinado was coaching
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Hofster baseball. I mean, they've got some good guys coaching
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: his teams, so.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: No doubt they do.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: But and and the other thing is when basketball goes
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: it sometimes brings a highlight to the rest of the programs, doesn't.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: It without a doubt yep.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And it could be that Patino just changed the culture entirely,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: and Hampton has changed the culture of Saint John's baseball
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: as well. But it's just interesting to see them both
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in sync in the same year.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I love it. I love seeing it, so we'll have
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: no I can't disagree with you on that.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: This is this kid you gotta gotta look up for
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: a kid named Cowen, Kyle Cowen, I think his name
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: or Cohen.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: When I saw him play, he had a triple. He
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: had like a double and a triple and a solid
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: single as well. He he, he hit, he gets the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: bat on the ball. He's been helping him walk off
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a couple of times, so keep an eye out for him.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: A grease tea behind the plate is the guy that
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: was scouted that day. So hey, Hampton knows how to recruit.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know the roster as much,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: but I kind of just got to know it over
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the last few weeks. And Evan Chappie's done a really
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: good job as one of our main starters. So we'll
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: have to see. And it all started because my connections Argus.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I met the assistant baseball coach who caught the last
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: out of the Biggiest Championship a few years ago now
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: at Saint John's Baseball and I got to know him
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: over the last few months. So small world, isn't it?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: It is?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: It is, Alex, now man, it gives me the press
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: box is named after it Saint John's Jack Kyser Stadium, I.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Think you know, yeah, absolutely, Bob Shephard, so Bob Shepherd,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: tort Uh communications at Saint John's for many many years.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Great Bob Shepherd.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: We miss him to this day. All right, Louis, Well,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: your Mets hit on the hit on the West Coast
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: on a very good note after a sweep against the Marlins.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: And look, I know the Marlins are not the cream
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: of the crop, but at least they swept them and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: showed some urgency, right, I mean, you gotta love that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Well, especially after they got swept in Miami last weekend
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and couldn't and couldn't hit their pitching. They turned it around.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: They turned it around. Now, Alex, I I have no idea,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: you know how the Mets are going to shake loose,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: but hopefully they can get some of their key guys back.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: If they can be around five hundred on July first,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: at five hundred, I really think that's that's that's the key.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: And one last thing about parallels. You talk about parallels
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: with NHL and MLB Tartarella and maddingly taking their teams
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: turning it around. Maybe madically had the same result in Philly.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know yet because the Braves look unstoppable right now,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: but there could be a wildcard team before we know it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, And you know, it's so far with the
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Braves had that series that season last year where everything
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: went wrong, everybody got hurt, you know, everything went wrong,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: and that's something that's what the Mets season reminds me
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: of so far. And you know, and now this year
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: the Braves can't lose.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: It's pretty And what about this stat If the Yanks
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: don't had that eleven running they're no hit most of
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the game yesterday very well, or thirteen running. I mean
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: that's historic and of itself, but it's also baseball season.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Thirteen runs are winning and they don't do anything else
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the rest of the game.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: How funny is that, Alex It was. It's one of
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: the weirdest statistical quirks that you've ever seen. They send
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: eighteen batters to the plate, get third, score thirteen runs
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: on eleven hits. They steal four base they had ten
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: They scored ten runs before the A's were able to
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: record an out, and then the other eight innings they
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: had no hits and one base runner who was who
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: was erased on.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: A double play and almost they thank god they scored
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: all those runs because the A's did make a comeback
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit yesterday.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: The A's are pretty good, especially in that in that
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: bad Western division.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: I know they're a little under five hundred, but I
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: think the Yanks had a show because especially the A's
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: man hindled them when they were in town. Yeah, mistaken.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: They had to show the league, hey, we are relevant
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and and win that Yank.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: The Yankees are the best team in the American League.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I mean that's you know, that's in my opinion.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: We said that last year Louis and yet Toronto won
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the division. So I don't know, it's all it's all
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: up in the air at the moment, although I do
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: think for them to run it back and have thirty
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: six wins by the end of May. Sometimes you don't
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: even see that there. How about the White Sox. I
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: mean they're now at thirty two wins before the end
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of May, and they had just recorded their thirtieth wins
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: in August. Some years, you know.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: The White Sox have done a fantastic job. And unfortunately
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: they got a terrible bad break yesterday with the Mirkami
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: having a hamstring muscle pull and he's going to be
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: out four to six weeks. He was on pace at
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: sixty home runs his first year in the United States,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: which would have been tremendous. So but the White Socks
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: have done a great job. I mean they've lost over
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: one hundred games three years in a row. Two years
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: ago they lost one hundred and twenty one games, which
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: is just unbelievable.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I also love Andrew Bennettendie. I've always thought he's a
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: great hitter.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Oh he's a pro. He's a pro, and he gives them.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: He gives them a veteran presence that a young team needs.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: And yeah, the White Sox, they've done a good job. Yes,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: the division stinks, but that's I'm sure no White Sox
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: fans do not care about that. They've done a nice job.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: All Right, One last thing I want to ask you
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: about because and this goes back to the Mets for
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: a second, because I got nothing really else on my
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: mind as far as the four major sports. Peterson being
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen. I'm so used in being a starter
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: so why they make that move this year.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's what you're gonna I think, well, you're
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: seeing a lot in baseball, these stacked starters, as they
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: call them. Where I think yesterday Seattle did it with
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Castillo pitching the last three and Miller pitched the first six.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: They both starters. It's the new wave of pitching. I
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: don't get it. I think the Mets are doing that
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: tonight with Austin Warren and I think then Manaig is
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: coming in. Uh, that's Alex. I'm gonna tell you that's
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: the biggest change for me as a baseball fan, the
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: way the pitching staff is handled. And I don't I
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: don't say I don't like it, but that's the way
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: the way it is very very strange.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Well, Louis will have to see. I think the strangest
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: thing so far though, is that Yankee tickets were six dollars,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: while the Knixt tickets have been over thousands of dollars.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: And you could see real great baseball for six dollars
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: in New York, and I think that's got so under sold.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a bargain. Does see Aaron Judge for
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: six dollars to see.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Sure, Yeah, it's a bargain.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: You're correct, Soto for seven dollars. I mean, it's just
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: unbelievable how we are now. Of course, should either of
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: them advance to the playoffs, we know those prices are
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: gonna shoot right back up.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: But that's what the secondary mark has done. I mean,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: let's face it, you know, fifteen years ago, twelve years ago,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: there really wasn't a secondary market. Now there's so many
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: ways to get tickets. That's why nobody should buy season tickets. Alex.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: There's no need to buy season tickets.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: No, there's not any more, not anymore, because you can
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: literally get and you know, everything's so walkative. They're walkative there,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: so you can literally just get a ticket for six
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: dollars in a row wherever you want. It's amazing to me.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: So, no, you're one hundred percent correct. One last thing,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: uh Giants bringing back Odell Beckham. I don't understand that,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: but uhty.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: They had he had They had a softball game over
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the weekend and Scott hit a homer and OBJ was
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: there as well. I thought it was pretty some from
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: when I saw the content was pretty cool. But yeah,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Odell coming back, we know he's played with hardball before.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: We know he's been in a Giant uniform before. And
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: they added three receivers and people don't really think about this.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Juju Smith is a super Bowl champion. I mean, he
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: was a big part of those Chiefs runs. I'm glad
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: we got him.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know how much he has left.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: But what it shows new then the signing three receivers today,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know how well Elik neighbors recovery is going.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: They have a lot, there's a lot of receivers in
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: that New York Giant receiving room and not all of
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: them are gonna make a team. But that was a
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: little When I saw those three receivers signed today, I said, hmmm,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: I wonder if it has anything to do with the
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: slow recovery of neighbors knee injury.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: And that's a shame because he's such a great talent.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's the He's a spectacular talent. And j Jackson,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Dart and him really only played together two games last
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: year before before he got.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Hurt, right, And I mean, look, I think him and
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: jamis connected well, him and Russell connected well those first
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: couple of games also, But you know, this is football.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Some of these guys have the worst injuries and just
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: never recover.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Oh absolutely.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: But the other big story while we're on football, A J.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Brown is finally out of Philly. We knew this was coming,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: and now he's going to be a headache for New England,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: for Jet fans and Bill's fans. And look, Drake May
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: did an incredible job last year. Now you put AJ
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Brown on that team, we could see them make a
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: real deep run at some point. With this team they.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Have well, I mean, obviously they got to the super
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Bowl last year. The only thing left is to win it.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: AJ Brown varible obviously, but together in Tennessee. I'm surprised
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: that the Eagles were able to get a number one
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: draft pick in twenty twenty eight for AJ Brown. I
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: thought it would been, you know, a second or a
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: third down the road because Eagles just you know, want
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: to get rid of them because of the issues he
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: had in Philadelphia. So the the Eagles did well getting
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: that number one pick. I didn't think they can get
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: a number one pick. I didn't really, but they did.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: And A J. Brown is a great receiver. If he said,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: you know, if he's and he should be into it,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: you know back with Rabel if Vrabel is coaching this
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: year and who knows with his personal issues, what's happening there.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: That's that's been quiet lately. But we'll see and uh, yeah,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: are the new England Patriots better today than they were yesterday? Absolutely,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: that's for sure.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Well Lou on that note, we'll have to see, uh
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: as the s progresses will have FIFA World Cup to
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: talk about in the next ten.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Days, in the wild months.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you don't know already, because they're already they've
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: been talking about it every day on Fox News and
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Fox five and Fox.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: It's been no Fox Fox has you know, they have
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: the contract for for these games. I think seventy games
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: are on over the air Fox and like seventeen on
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: FS one. So uh, it's gonna be all soccer all
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the time on.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: On And the US winning a friendly, I mean, I
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: know it's a friendly, but it's a good start.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: So absolutely, I think the US will get out of
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: the group stage. I think they'll I think they'll get
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: out of the group stage and then then we'll see where,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: you know, where they land.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And now I'm not mistaken. I think there's a bunch
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: of confusion where the final is. The final is not MetLife, right.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: No, the finals at MetLife, Oh it is. Excuse me,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: it's at New York New Jersey Stadium.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, it is because I know SOFI is having contests
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: over there as well.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: So yeah, now the finals at MetLife July nineteenth, and
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I think that Sunday it's I think July nineteenth is
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: the Sunday. And yeah, the one side of there.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: I used to play over there.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, I saw many I saw many Cosmo games there
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: and it was happening.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: And then Metro Stars played for a long time over.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: There, Yes they did. I saw the Metro Stars play there,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: and I saw nineteen ninety four. I swored three World
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Cup games they're including the semi final between Italy and.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Let me get you, only paid like sixty bucks compared
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: to well, it.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Wasn't it's like it was today, that's for sure. I
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: paid whatever it was sixty seventy five bucks and there
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: was no trouble parking. Now I hear parking is going
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: to not only be astronomically high, but they're using parking
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: spaces for other things besides parking, So you're gonna have
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: to take shuttles there. I will not be attending. I'll
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: be watching right where I'm talking to you from now
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: in my living room, watching it, watching it on Fox,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: and relaxing.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that's Terminila's take on a whole swath of things,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: and I feel like these takes are gonna get even
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: better as the summer rolls around, because there's gonna be
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. There's gonna be a lot,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: especially if after four games there's a certain Hilari O'Brien
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: trophy in New York. That's gonna be a lot to
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: talk about. But one possession out of time as we
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: talk about. All right, Lud, thanks for your take this
