The Nets lose their star play. They lose their star closer.
0:04
The Nets are in a bad spot right now.
0:12
I've never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
0:14
We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
0:17
can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
0:19
I played 82 games. You don't see LeBron doing that,
0:23
but Jack Hughes did after getting his teeth knocked out to
0:26
play every single shift he got back in the game.
0:30
I'm going to fight him off A7 Nation, how he couldn't hold me
0:35
back. They're going to RIP me off,
0:38
take it down, go on Black Destiny Fest.
0:41
Can I talk it to myself at night?
0:44
Because I can't go there back and forth through my mind
0:57
behind the scene. Into the New York sports.
1:33
This is the money shot. Come on, man.
1:34
This is this is the future of basketball.
1:36
OK? This is entertainment.
1:37
Don't hate to play it, hate the game now.
1:39

2:42
our new, well, it's, it's not a new segment.
2:44
It's been around for a little while as we call this the
2:47
Concrete Jungle Carousel. Welcome to the jungle, we got
2:53
fun and games. You know where you are.
2:56
What did you do in? The jungle baby welcome.
2:58
I'm trying to put Tiger Bomb on this jungle's nuts to the
3:01
concrete jungle. Carousel, you're gonna.
3:04
Die. Make her squirt.
3:11
Make me jerk. All right guys, welcome back to
3:16
the Concrete Jungle carousel. We're going to cover all the
3:20
news in all the sports in the tri-state Air.
3:22
We're going to cover some minor Yankees and stuff before we
3:25
leave baseball. Just some contracts signed by
3:28
the Mets. Guess who joined the roster of
3:30
the Mets to a minor league contract on the 40 man Mr. Tommy
3:34
Pham is back on the Mets roster. Tommy Pham one of the more
3:39
controversial guys in Major League Baseball.
3:42
But he's he's been a good hitter a lot of his career.
3:46
Maybe some depth in the outfit you were talking about earlier.
3:49
Obviously bench was brought up right off the bat.
3:52
Minter was put on the IL. He's going to.
3:56
He's still recovering from left lat surgery.
3:59
For the Yankees. They look they they still got
4:03
three guys on the IL that are coming back, Cole Rodon and
4:06
Volpe. We don't really talk about when
4:07
Volpe's coming back. Volpe's coming back.
4:09
It looks like going to be around the same time as the two of
4:12
those guys, somewhere between the end of April and May.
4:15
And the Yankees signed and activated to the main roster
4:19
Randall Grichuk, who was a nice platoon bat off the bench.
4:25
Well, I like Tommy Pham. I I think if you're a Mets fan
4:28
and you get him on the cheap, you bring him up, he he's a
4:31
good, he's a competent hitter in the major leagues.
4:34
We've seen it. I remember when he was at Saint
4:36
Louis, even when he was with the Mets, he hit the ball very, very
4:38
well. And I was very, I was very
4:41
surprised that the Mets let him go and, and decided to move him.
4:43
But I think this is a good move for the Mets.
4:46
Obviously he adds some depth to the outfield.
4:48
This is a guy that can hit for average.
4:50
You can put him as ADH and sometimes when this kid gets
4:53
hot, he can get really, really hot.
4:55
As far as the Yankees are concerned, Volpe being hurt, I
4:59
think it gives him a little bit more time.
5:00
I don't know if he's really hurt, but the Yankees are giving
5:03
him a little bit more time. He didn't.
5:05
He was up and down throughout spring training.
5:06
When I did get a chance to see him.
5:08
I I want to see his defense. I'm more worried about his
5:11
defense than his offense. We saw what happened last year.
5:14
He had the yips. He couldn't throw to first base.
5:17
He barely can get it to 2nd. I mean, this guy would a Gold
5:20
Glove two years ago and he couldn't even throw.
5:22
He became Chuck Noblock. That's what he became.
5:25
So that's the guy that really stands out to me.
5:29
Grit Chuck is is a good player. We've seen him.
5:31
He's a journeyman. He can hit for you could put him
5:34
in your line up. He can hit for it.
5:35
He could play multiple outfield positions.
5:38
I think he also could play infield too.
5:40
So I. Think he played a little third
5:42
I. Believe so.
5:43
You can move him around in on the field if you need some
5:45
depth. So it wasn't a bad signing.
5:48
They didn't really have to give up much to get him, so I'm not
5:51
surprised they brought him as a Plutoon platoon guy.
5:53
Yeah, I was going to say that you look at the the depth that
5:56
the Yankees are going to bring in with a lot of these
5:58
outfielders that they have. And Volpe, I think you're right,
6:01
they're trying to ease him back again.
6:02
I don't think his problems a lot of the last year were medical.
6:05
I think it was just more of, yeah, like you said, the yips.
6:07
He was trying to get his own head and it affected his
6:09
offensive game too, as far as the four man.
6:11
Was he trying to get in his own head or trying to get head well?
6:14
Maybe that's so maybe maybe maybe leaning it, maybe leaning
6:19
in would better, but Fat Joe wouldn't allow that.
6:21
But. He'll be leaning back.
6:22
He'll be leaning back. He's trying to.
6:24
He's leaned back into the Yankees good graces with the end
6:26
of the season. He did have though, so the
6:27
Yankees I think are trying to ease him back as as far as the
6:30
Mets bring in Tommy Famine. This was the same guy that took
6:32
shots to the Mets team culture in 2020.
6:33
Three who? Cares, Hopefully he doesn't make
6:35
comments like that again, but I do like them better than a lot
6:37
of the other. Outfielders, he'll get along
6:39
with Juan Soto, Lindor. They're both idiots, so they,
6:41
they, they like to talk behind each other's back.
6:43
So why not? Tommy Fam will be the third guy.
6:45
The Three Stooges right there. Perfect for the Mets.
6:48
Hope not. All right, so we're just going
6:51
to go quickly because we're going to run out of time And I
6:54
we don't have a lot to talk about with the Knicks and that's
6:56
because we're not going to talk about the Nets, But we will talk
6:59
about Miles McBride coming back on Sunday against the Thunder.
7:03
Bring the whole squad back to full health basically for the
7:06
first time in a long time, allowing them to now have that
7:11
combo guard kind of hustle guy that they may have been missing
7:15
in the lineup all along. How do they fit him back in that
7:18
rotation? We'll find out.
7:20
But the best story from Nick's world is Stephen A Smith taking
7:24
shots at Josh Hart, saying he should shut his mouth if he
7:27
can't average 10 points a game and then Hart calling him a part
7:31
time Knicks fan. All right, so I'll get into the
7:35
Josh Hart thing because Josh Hart is one of the best two way
7:38
players the Knicks have, one of the leaders of the New York
7:41
Knicks. If he scores 10 points, 12
7:43
points or 13 points or even eight points, he does things
7:46
better than everybody in the league at his position.
7:48
He rebounds at his size, he's one of the better rebounders at
7:51
his size. He plays defense to multiple
7:53
positions and he's a team leader.
7:55
We don't need Josh Hart to score 10 or more points.
7:59
We just need him to play his game.
8:01
So Stephen A Smith who can't even hit a lick, that guy can't
8:04
shoot. I've seen him on the TNT show,
8:06
I've seen him on ESPN try to shoot.
8:08
That guy can't shoot. And then he says he played
8:10
college basketball. With who?
8:12
Who did he play college ball with?
8:14
I would love to hear that one. That's one number two with the
8:17
Knicks. McBride is a nice addition, but
8:20
the guy that I think you've you guys are missing is what Carl
8:23
Anthony Towns has done over the last three weeks.
8:26
Carl Anthony Towns is slowly showing people that you can you
8:30
can run your offense through him.
8:32
If Jalen Brunson's not having a big day and that's what they're
8:35
doing. They're starting to use him as a
8:38
guy that's the number one guy when even when Jalen Brunson's
8:41
out there, they're feeding him the ball and we're seeing
8:43
consistency now. He's averaging in the last
8:46
couple of weeks. The last two weeks he's
8:48
averaging 24 and 11. And when you're doing that,
8:51
that's what you accept expect from your superstar big man, one
8:54
of the best shooting big man in the NBA when he's playing at a
8:57
high level, not 80 foot jumpers, not 70 foot jumpers and trying
9:00
to be Steph Curry. Just playing your own game and
9:03
he's doing things that we haven't seen him do last year
9:06
and that's get in the paint, defend the paint and put his
9:10
body on the line. When you see something like
9:12
that, he's all in. So that's the big story.
9:15
It's not McBride. I know everybody keeps saying,
9:17
well, we need McBride. Do we really?
9:20
He probably don't play a lot of a lot of minutes in the
9:22
playoffs. He really doesn't.
9:23
He plays 20 minutes, 22 minutes last year with Tom Thibodeau and
9:26
he's not going to play a lot of minutes this year because
9:28
they're going to play. They're going to try to play
9:30
big. The Knicks are going to try to
9:31
play big against these teams like Detroit and and the
9:35
Celtics. The Celtics are a small team.
9:37
They're not big. The Knicks are a big team.
9:39
When they have the other guys, you making faces.
9:41
The Celtics are. What when, when, When have the
9:43
cesses been small? I think Cat going to shoot you
9:47
guys out that's this is an issue.
9:49
He's playing big now, but once you start getting them later,
9:52
later in the season and start getting to the playoffs, he's
9:54
going to start going back shooting threes and then you
9:57
guys going to be in trouble. Oh, really, you guys?
9:59
Why? Because you're a Celtic fan?
10:01
Is that why? Yeah.
10:02
Fortunately. It figures.
10:03
It figures. That's why you were trying to
10:05
throw a curveball. But guess what?
10:07
If you look at the Celtics in their size in the Eastern
10:09
Conference right now, they're not in the top 10 when it comes
10:12
to size. Size.
10:14
Size in the NBA? Size.
10:16
Yeah, they're not in the top 10. Who?
10:20
Who just wanted to where they're.
10:21
They're outside the top ten. I think they're 13 or 14.
10:25
Well, I'm looking it up right now.
10:26
They have. In the East, no.
10:28
In the league, in the league, they only have one seven footer
10:32
on the team. It's Kata.
10:34
And then they have a couple of guys that are 610 that don't
10:37
play Vuchevich, who's hurt and doesn't look like the same guy
10:40
at six nine. And then it's Tillman is 68,
10:44
Tatum 68, Minot and Hauser. All these guys are are.
10:48
Just like that. Yeah, but the giant, the giant,
10:52
the Knicks have. Mitch.
10:54
You got no answer for Mitch. Mitch is a problem.
10:58
Mitch who we. Say Mitch Who?
11:01
Hey, beta's free throws. Are the Joel and Bingos who
11:04
Mitches? Oh, we whooped them to this
11:08
tough outing. I like the hype.
11:10
And Stephen A actually played for West Southern States, so OK.
11:13
That's what he averaged 1.4. Points a game, Yes, and.
11:17
He sucked and he's attacking a a good player in the NBA, Josh
11:21
Hart. If I'm Josh Hart, I'm just
11:23
slandering him on my my my podcast.
11:25
He's also fired playing out of possession considering.
11:27
His role? I mean, he don't have no no
11:30
place to even speak on what Josh Hart should be doing.
11:33
But they they can't take away. Yeah, Stephen, a average one
11:37
point with the southern state. All right.
11:41
You know, we got to be honest up here, you know?
11:43
It was it's one more than one 1.4 more points at Salem State
11:47
than I got. So it's it's a great job by him.
11:51
Let's get to football. The the Giants and Jets were
11:54
both at the Ohio State pro day. It's all about the pro day.
11:58
They have three guys expected to go in the top 10 down, four
12:01
guys, Downs, Tate, Reese and Styles.
12:05
Everyone wanted to know. The Jets are very impressed with
12:09
Reese. They're linked to taking him at
12:11
two people like Bailey from Texas Tech.
12:14
But you know, Reese had the jump out of the gym stats in the
12:17
combine. They're trying.
12:19
The Jets are going to try to have a workout with Ty Simpson.
12:22
And. Well, I know you said you don't
12:24
want this to happen. No, I like it.
12:25
I I, I told you. Was it you or Josh round,
12:28
though? Yeah, in the first round.
12:29
Why not 16? If you think he's your guy, if
12:33
you think he's your guy, and I've heard, I've watched his
12:36
footwork at the combine. He was sensational.
12:39
He looked as good as a quarterback has played at the
12:42
combine in the last three years. He threw the ball very, very
12:45
well. He's got a very strong arm.
12:47
They say that he has a better arm than Mendoza.
12:49
So I'm just saying if, if The Jets think he's their guy and
12:53
they're going to sit him behind Geno Smith for one year, you do
12:56
not play in this year. You let him sit behind Geno
12:58
Smith for a full year. Let him learn in the offense on
13:02
the right and then you bring them in next year, early in the
13:05
next year season. If you think he's your guy, if
13:07
you think absolutely slam dunk, but you can't watch a combine.
13:12
You have to watch film. And I'll tell you this, the
13:15
Alabama Crimson Tide didn't have the talent over the years they
13:18
had this year, they really didn't have that kind of talent.
13:21
They didn't have a star wide receiver on a top first round
13:24
draft pick. They didn't have that.
13:25
And and Ty was up for a Heisman Trophy this year and before he
13:30
fell out the last month. So I know a lot of people are
13:33
like, I don't know if I go after Ty, he's too small, He's got big
13:36
hands, he's got great footwork. If The Jets think he's the guy
13:39
and you're going to send him out the whole season, do it.
13:42
I I'm I'm all for it. That's all I'm going to say
13:45
about that. So and as.
13:46
Far as Reese. As far as Reese, as far as Reese
13:49
is concerned, it could be raised Reese, it could be Bain, Styles,
13:52
any one of these guys, I just want them to play.
13:54
I want them to fit the defense. If if they think Reese is the
13:57
guy that's going to fit their defense and they're going to
13:59
move all over the field and cause havoc for the quarterback,
14:02
so be it. Draft Reese, but.
14:04
Make So what do you so who so who do you like Reese out of
14:06
those 3? I like Reese and Bane.
14:10
So which way did you choose? I wanted, I like Bain, but Bain,
14:14
they're saying I have to see him in his pro day and they're
14:17
saying he has very small arms. So I don't know how that works
14:21
in the NFL now. It has worked for some guys.
14:24
He said that about Von Miller and Von Miller was really good.
14:27
So I'm just saying I'm not calling Bain Von Miller.
14:31
But Reese is just like a physical specimen.
14:34
This guy's got long arms. He's tall, he's athletic, he's
14:37
big. Maybe a lot of people think his
14:40
style is more like a Micah Parsons.
14:42
If he's anything like Micah Parsons, The Jets have a slam
14:46
dunk right there. So I I trust in Moji.
14:50
I don't want Aaron Glenn picking the guy.
14:52
I want Moji picking the guy. He's done a lot of things good
14:54
this offseason. It's a slam dunk if Moji goes
14:57
after the guy that he wants, not what Aaron Glenn wants.
15:01
Because he was sleeping at the compound.
15:03
Yeah. He was sleeping.
15:04
He was sleeping during the game. He was out of control, talented
15:08
wise, but I don't necessarily think he's the best pick for
15:11
number 2. I think they're going to pick
15:13
him at #2 but I don't think he's the best pick for that style of
15:16
defense that they're playing. And so I think that they should
15:19
probably, you know, re evaluate that, But it's nothing else that
15:22
we can do about it because they're going to pick him at 2
15:23
anyway. And TA Simpson, I thought, I
15:27
think it's a bad pick as well. I don't think they should pick
15:29
at 16. They might end up trading that
15:31
pick and getting an extra pick later on in the draft and get an
15:35
extra pick in the second round. I definitely should trade back
15:38
is a lot of needs of what The Jets could use with.
15:40
Receiver and. Corner in those drafts, too.
15:42
You're going to be able to stockpile a lot of that even at
15:44
two. You can't rule out trading back
15:46
either, even with a talent as good as Reese at 2:00.
15:48
What about Malik Willis just sound with the Dolphins?
15:52
What if he would? We would have picked them up.
15:54
I hate. Malik Willis, I don't think he's
15:55
any good. You'll think he's no good, No.
15:57
I don't think he's any good. I don't.
15:59
Want to be stuck in a really bad?
16:00
Team honestly, you paid Malik Willis what what was what was
16:04
the money? It was 22 million a year, 22
16:05
million a year I'm. Not I don't, yeah.
16:07
I don't think we're going to get that.
16:08
I don't think we would have got that number.
16:09
I think that's just Miami pen and desperation.
16:12
I'm fine. I'm fine with Geno Smith.
16:15
I'm fine with him for two years. I am.
16:17
I think he's he's the prototypical quarterback of
16:21
veteran quarterback that Jets bring in that's going to play
16:23
that style of game. So I'm fine with Geno Smith.
16:26
They're not winning anything this year.
16:28
I'm hoping they're not going to try to win anything and get the
16:30
court. If they don't get a quarterback
16:32
this year, get a quarterback next year.
16:35
So you who? Would you know the main thing?
16:36
I always say what we saying quick.
16:39
Who's that? Who's they take it?
16:40
Who they take it for? What do you mean in your
16:42
opinion? If you if you wouldn't detain,
16:44
who did? Who would they take for?
16:45
Next year you're talking about. Yeah, next year.
16:48
I like Dante Moore, I like Manning.
16:52
I mean, those two guys are the two guys that I'm looking also
16:55
like Sellers. I like all three of those guys.
16:57
I would take any one of those guys we're.
16:59
Going to talk about that another day.
17:00
Why was The Jets at Ohio State? Just to see.
17:03
Yeah, they just drafted Abdul Carter.
17:05
I'm confused why we. The Giants, yeah.
17:07
So the Giants are interested in Caleb Downs, that safety, box
17:12
safety that they think you can also drop back hard hitter, and
17:16
Carnell Tate they're talking about is possibly a receiver to
17:19
take at 5. The Giants are also in on
17:21
Jeremiah Love, which is interesting considering they
17:25
have Scataboo and Tyrone Tracy. That's something a lot of people
17:29
are kind of mocking. No, they're not Giants.
17:31
There's the reason why you shouldn't mock it because they
17:33
probably know something with Cam Scataboo after that injury.
17:37
Yeah, I think he's done too. That is a bad injury and.
17:40
Did he say something about retirement as well?
17:42
He posted something crazy. I don't think he said
17:45
retirement. He's definitely crazy.
17:48
We can't stay here. We ought to keep moving because
17:50
we got to get out of the segment.
17:51
But a lot of Jets and Giants offseason news to come.
17:55
Just quickly hockey, not too much going on with the Rangers.
17:58
They only they were held to nine shots the other day, Errol,
18:01
which is just absurd. The Sabres are now tied for
18:04
first. Just kind of combining that, all
18:06
the hockey together with the Hurricanes for the most points
18:09
in the Eastern Conference, even though they lost a couple of
18:11
games in overtime. The Islanders, if these playoffs
18:15
started today, are not in a playoff spot at all.
18:17
They're a point out of a playoff spot.
18:20
Correct? Correct.
18:21
But you know, this was a team that like was trending a little
18:24
better than this not that long ago.
18:26
There are a lot of teams playing good hockey right now.
18:28
The Blue Jackets are playing good hockey.
18:30
Ottawa is playing good hockey. So he can't blame the Islanders.
18:33
You're not going to win every single game.
18:34
I still think the Islanders are fine.
18:36
They have, they have 10 games left.
18:39
If they win 7 or even 6 of those games, I think they get in.
18:42
There's no way Ottawa is going to win the majority of their
18:45
games. So I'm not going to bet on that.
18:46
The Blue Jackets, even if the Blue Jackets make the playoffs,
18:50
I, I, I'm not scared of the teams in front of them.
18:52
So the Islanders are fine. The Sabres are the teams that
18:55
that seem to talk about. I, I mean, everything that we've
18:58
seen with the Sabres have done this year, even the second-half
19:00
of the season, they're one of the hottest teams in hockey.
19:02
Paige Thompson coming back, winning the gold medal from Team
19:05
USA. He's been one of the hottest
19:06
goal scorers in the league. I mean, everything is working.
19:10
They're goaltending, their defense, They're as good of a
19:13
team as any team in the NHL right now.
19:16
If you would ask me right now who is going to the Stanley Cup
19:20
Finals, it's the Sabres and the Colorado Out Village.
19:23
Those are the two best teams in the NHL and they've been the two
19:26
best teams over the last couple of weeks.
19:28
Yeah, the Islanders are not playing bad.
19:29
It's just like the Blue Jackets got hot.
19:31
There's a lot of teams. Coaching change Rick bonus now
19:33
going over there who went to the cup with Dallas in 2020 and
19:37
they're just hot right now off the 3rd.
19:38
And the Penguins are not great either.
19:40
Like the Islanders very easily catch them, they're an older
19:42
team. And Buffalo, I agree with you.
19:44
Their offensive potency is as good as anything.
19:45
If they can get any consistent goaltending, they're going to
19:47
be. Right there is a beast.
19:50
He is an absolute beast. Saint Louis is probably itching
19:53
your head after years ago after trading him after they drafted
19:56
him. I mean the kids.
19:58
A special player, I believe the best United States goal scorer
20:02
in the NHL. Yeah, and the Rangers.
20:05
Yeah, that's as embarrassing as it gets.
20:06
Fish, I gave this out to you. Not since 2003 have you seen
20:09
less than 10 shots on goal in a game.
20:10
Just just so ugly. The worst hockey you can
20:14
possibly watch right now at the Garden.
20:16
Just wrapping it up, talking about the Big East and what's
20:19
going on in the Sweet 16. We got two teams left, we got
20:22
UConn, Aints and Saint Johns. They both play tomorrow.
20:26
UConn gets Michigan State, they played earlier in like
20:30
exhibition in an early season game.
20:33
UConn won by 7. Michigan State's not going to
20:36
have their point guard. It's going to be a problem.
20:39
Broken foot with a defensive guard.
20:41
So they're down a couple of guys.
20:43
UConn has a couple of guys questionable, but they're going
20:46
to try to try to stop Tyrus Reed.
20:48
Tyrus Reed, who had one of the biggest, you know, big man games
20:51
in a long time, in the first game had, what, 27 rebounds?
20:55
And it was absolutely a monster. That's the point.
20:59
And Danny Hurley has mentioned that UCONN's foul trouble is a
21:02
problem against a team like Michigan State that's 38th in
21:06
the country and shooting foul shots.
21:08
St. John's, Duke, real quick.
21:09
Duke got Nanga back versus TCU. They think that Caleb Foster has
21:14
a chance to come back only three weeks removed from a foot
21:19
fracture, which is kind of crazy as well for that game.
21:23
Obviously St. John's is going to face that
21:25
team is ranked #1 heading into it.
21:27
Pitino is going to try to pressure the ball.
21:29
You know, Pitino, he thinks it's their weakness.
21:32
They're going to go after him, especially if the point guard
21:34
has a broken foot. I want St.
21:36
John's to win. I really, really do.
21:39
I want them to win. But I'm a Duke Blue Devil fan
21:41
and I can't stand John Shire. And if the game's close, I'm
21:44
going to bet that Saint John's is going to win the game.
21:46
But if they pull away and they they have a 15 or 14 point lead
21:50
in the second-half and I don't see the the Duke Blue Devils
21:54
choking this time. Cam Boozer has been up and down
21:57
throughout the tournament. Cam Boozer is a star, he's a
21:59
stud. I love him and I think he's
22:01
going to take over this game. They're going to have no answer
22:03
with Cam Boozer in this game. I think Duke is going to win the
22:05
game. Now, as far as EU on U Conn
22:08
versus Michigan State, that's an interesting game.
22:11
Izzo versus Hurley, 2 very respected coaches in college
22:15
basketball, one guy that acts like Bobby Knight and the other
22:18
one is more quiet, likes to keep to himself, like likes the
22:22
players, play his style of game. But I'm going to tell you this
22:25
right now, UConn is going all the way to the national
22:28
championship. I've said it, I believe it.
22:31
I think this team is as good as any team in the nation.
22:34
So I think they're going to beat Michigan State.
22:37
It's going to be cool, close. It'll be back and forth.
22:39
Bobby Hurley's been the best coach I believe in college
22:41
basketball for the last four years and I I believe that he's
22:45
going to make another run at a national.
22:46
Championship. I was worried about Michigan
22:48
State not shooting a lot of threes, but this is not the
22:49
match of the duo. You want to attack the hoop like
22:51
you were saying and Dan Hurley, they can't have these foul
22:53
troubles like they did in the second-half against UCLA.
22:55
If they can play like the the next part of that game, they
22:58
could beat Michigan State pretty easily.
22:59
As far as Saint John's and UConn, interesting match up with
23:01
Zubi Azure for and Cam Boozer inside.
23:04
Can they attack that and get enough rebounding to make it
23:06
work and take away those possessions for Duke's offense
23:08
even with Proctor? Or not or not Proctor?
23:11
Yeah, not 100%. All right, guys.
23:13
Well, that is the concrete jungle carousel.
23:16
All right, Ladies and gentlemen, we call this the deuce of the
23:19
day. The deuce of the day.
23:22
You log Not a log. I don't have a log, but no.
23:32
All right, my juice of the day goes to the Philadelphia
23:35
Phillies as a story came out over the last 24 hours that a
23:40
kid that they signed at 13 or 14 years old, I think 13 years old,
23:46
who they gave him $1.5 million, was caught using steroids.
23:52
That's what they they tested them for steroids.
23:54
And now Phil, the Phillies are going to cancel the agreement
23:58
and take the $1.5 million away from the kid and his family.
24:02
And I'll say this, steroids should not be used in
24:05
professional sports. But guess what?
24:09
They're always going to be used. They're always going to be used
24:13
so hiding it and figuring out what to take away or not think
24:17
that this kid has the God-given talent because he was taking
24:20
steroids or just trying to grow. Maybe that's why he was doing
24:23
it. It's despicable honestly.
24:25
It's 1.5 million. Is it going to burn a pocket?
24:27
Burn his pocket is going to burn Philadelphia pocket.
24:29
No, I'm not surprised this is going on.
24:32
This isn't the first thing we're going to hear in any
24:34
international international player using steroids or human
24:38
growth hormones to get get, get bigger, get stronger and get
24:42
into the major leagues. So it's a horrible story.
24:45
Philadelphia is going to do what they want to do, but it it's,
24:49
you know, it's Philadelphia like to do something like that.
24:52
So that is my deuce of the day. Anyways, we call this alrighty
24:56
then. Alrighty then.
25:01
All righty. All righty then.
25:06
All righty. Then we're back with another
25:09
literary segment of Errol's articles.
25:13
Have you checked out this latest one, guys, on what we were just
25:17
talking about in the interview, Errol's hatred of John Shire and
25:23
JJ Reddick. Well, if you haven't, you got to
25:26
check it out. It's on the Worldwide Sports
25:28
Radio dot com and if you haven't checked it out, that's where all
25:32
of our clips are that you can find from the show that we post
25:35
up our best clips. You can also check those out on
25:38
our new YouTube page. Check out all the information in
25:42
the links guys. Here is the article for Today
25:47
podcast Privilege and Coach K Nepotism.
25:50
The JJ Reddick John Shire experiment nobody asked for.
25:55
Take a look. There are two types of people in
25:58
this world. People grind 20 years for a head
26:00
coaching job. People who sit next to LeBron
26:03
James on a podcast or share locker room with Mike Schefsky
26:06
and suddenly wake up as the boss.
26:09
Welcome to the basketball multiverse where logic takes a
26:12
back seat and vibes get you hired.
26:15
JJ Redick from podcast takes to play calls.
26:18
Let's start with JJ Redick, a man who went for breaking down
26:21
pick and roll coverages on a mic to actually calling them for the
26:24
Los Angeles Lakers. Now listen, JJ smart like Scary
26:28
Film Room junkie smart. But coaching the Lakers is not a
26:32
group project at Duke. This is Hollywood, this is
26:35
pressure. This is LeBron staring at you
26:37
mid time out. Like you sure about that
26:39
podcast, boy. And yet, somehow it's working.
26:42
As we move on, there's John Shire, Coach K's favorite
26:46
student, or just the one who answered the phone.
26:48
Now. John Shire, the chosen one of
26:51
Duke basketball, hand picked Coach K himself to take over the
26:55
throne of the Duke Blue Devils. And look, Shire has been good.
26:58
Not great, not legendary. Yeah, just yeah, that'll do.
27:02
He's Got Talent every year because Duke, not because he's a
27:05
wizard recruiter. And this year he's sitting
27:07
pretty with a number one seed. But let's not forget last year
27:11
lately the Houston to the Houston Cougars in the final
27:13
four. Like someone accidentally hit
27:16
the self destruct button. 2 minutes left and the offense
27:20
looked like five guys trying to remember a TikTok dance.
27:25
Speedy. All right, we'll start it off
27:27
with, yeah, tie edge here. Actually, we'll start it off
27:31
with Glumgate first. These two actually were kind of
27:34
rebuttaling at each other. So this is the first one.
27:35
How is their coaching performance remotely similar?
27:37
Shire took Duke and made the Elite 8 in the Final Four and
27:40
now at worst, the Sweet 16 the last three years.
27:42
While JJ Reddick, it's a long comment.
27:44
He was out in the first. Round of the playoffs.
27:45
All right, Glumgate. I think it's a lot harder
27:48
coaching an NBA team. That's my opinion.
27:51
And you over the last couple years without Luka Doncic, you
27:54
just got Luka Doncic last year in the middle of the season and
27:58
you you took a team to the playoffs and and failed to to
28:01
get over the hump. Here's the thing, Shire every
28:04
year has the top recruits in the country.
28:07
Every year he had two guys that are going to be up for a rookie
28:10
of the year for the NBA and fell short in the Final four.
28:13
Anybody could have taken that team to the final four.
28:16
That's how talented they were. Proctor decided to stay back in
28:19
college this year because he wasn't going to come out in the
28:22
first round this year. If he gets healthy, Proctor's
28:24
probably a late first round draft pick.
28:26
So my honest opinion here is when you look at Shire and you
28:30
look at JJ, there is no comparison because one's
28:33
coaching an NBA team and the other one's coaching a college
28:37
team. So I think there's more pressure
28:40
on JJ Redick because LeBron James is getting old and they
28:43
won another championship and Shire could sit there for the
28:46
next 5 years as he got an extension at the end at the end
28:50
of last season. 5 years for losing in the final four when
28:54
you up by 12 points with two minutes left.
28:57
So that's my opinion on that one.
28:58
All right, so this this guy tie edge rebuttal a lot with with
29:01
glove gate. They were back and forth about
29:02
10 different comments. So he is thinks the opposite.
29:04
He has more money than any other school was possible for
29:07
recruiting Duke's elite one and dumb players with under coach K
29:11
anything but a surprise that he's gotten that job.
29:13
Yeah, I can't get behind that. Thank you, Tie I, I love that
29:17
take because I would agree with you, Coach K picked the wrong
29:20
guy. And I'm not saying Shire isn't a
29:22
good, smart basketball mind, but when you have people like Jeff's
29:25
coming to me and telling me, well, this guy is is a genius.
29:29
Yeah, a genius, A genius, a losing.
29:31
What did that? What happened against North
29:33
Carolina this year? And Hubert Davis, you were up by
29:35
eight points with, what, a minute and 10 seconds left and
29:39
you choked and you lost against a North North Carolina Tar Heel
29:43
team that's nowhere close to the talent you are.
29:45
So honest to God, the guy doesn't know how to finish, and
29:48
he's not going to finish this year.
29:50
When are they going to lose the Elite 8?
29:51
I think that's where they're going to lose.
29:53
They're going to lose in the Elite 8 because I just don't
29:55
think this team knows how to to win the big game so.
30:00
All right, we'll go to this one now.
30:02
Dumute, CBUCBU. There isn't a fan of any program
30:06
in the country that wouldn't want Shire's first four years as
30:08
a head coach. Where is Reddick?
30:11
OK, now I will tell you this because I'm being in Dumute.
30:14
Thank you. I have to tell you this, anybody
30:19
coaching this team that knows any type of basketball can coach
30:23
this team all at least to the Sweet 16.
30:26
It's too talented. What are you calling give the
30:29
ball to Boozer, Give the ball to Boozer, give the ball to Boozer.
30:33
It's not rocket science guys. It really isn't.
30:36
What is Shire doing on the sidelines?
30:38
He's got three guys, 3 assistants that have been NBA
30:41
players or NBA coaches. Shire just has to sit there and
30:44
collect his money. That's why he got a five year
30:46
extension. And it's impressive, dude.
30:49
Look at the recruits he's brought in.
30:51
Cooper flag and another 3 point shooter that just broke a record
30:55
with the Charlotte Hornets this year.
30:57
And it's probably going to be up for an MVPI mean rookie of the
31:00
year this year with Cooper Flag and now this year camp boosters,
31:03
arguably the number one, number two and #3 pick.
31:06
If you have this kind of talent, guess what, you're probably
31:09
going to win. All right, so now we'll go to a
31:12
different viewpoint, kind of comparing how they got hired.
31:16
So Crave Case No Shire to Riot fired a traditional internal
31:19
pipeline under Coach K, spending years on his staff Shire while
31:24
JJ Reddick made a rare leap straight from playing in media
31:27
to an NBA job. They both kissed a lot of asses
31:31
to get where they have gone. OK, you're going to tell me
31:34
Shire was the guy that I'm going to pick.
31:36
Out of all the coach coaches that have been working on
31:39
coaches Kay's staff all these years, that's the guy I'm
31:42
picking. I could pick anybody for that
31:44
Duke Blue Devil job. That's the best.
31:47
And you can say whatever you want it.
31:48
As far as prestige colleges, right now, Duke is #1 everybody
31:53
wants that Duke job. Everybody.
31:56
So you're going to tell me out of all the people you could have
31:58
picked, that's the guy I would have picked?
32:00
And as far as JJI would agree with you, what has JJ done?
32:04
But guess what? JJ is coaching a Laker team.
32:07
There's more pressure with the Lakers and winning with LeBron
32:11
James and Luka Doncic now than it is right now for Shire.
32:14
If Shire loses in the Elite 8 after losing in the Final Four,
32:17
does he lose his job? No, he is going to keep his job
32:21
for the least the next four years and if he can't get over
32:24
the hump, he can't win in the next 4 years then he'll get
32:26
fired. To me, Coach K is still driving
32:29
the stick over there with the Duke Blue Devils.
32:31
All right. The last one we'll go to as an
32:33
opposite standpoint. So JJ Reddick was higher because
32:36
he's a solid basketball mine and he's proven himself to be, at a
32:39
minimum, a very good coach so far, whereas John Shire, he
32:42
agrees with you, was a bit overrated.
32:44
OK, basketball mine, JJ Reddick. That doesn't go two and two
32:49
together. All right, JJ Reddick, what does
32:52
he know about basketball? Has he coached before you got
32:55
this job? No.
32:56
Was he an assistant coach? He was working on a podcast with
32:59
LeBron James and LeBron probably said, we're not kidding, Danny
33:04
Hurley. We struck out on that.
33:05
Nobody else wants this job. Let's I'll just bring my guy in
33:09
and I could tell my guy what to do, call the plays and I'm going
33:12
to be in charge because I'm LeBron James the LJA.
33:15
So I I disagree. I don't think JJJ Reddick is a
33:20
great basketball mind. Is he know a little bit more
33:22
than John? Yeah.
33:23
He played in the NBA. John Shire never played in the
33:25
NBA. He was drafted, but he couldn't
33:27
he couldn't stay healthy. So I honest to God, who would I
33:31
take? I mean, I'm pulling strings
33:32
here. I take JJ because he had a
33:34
longer NBA career. That's it.
33:36
That's the my argument. Both guys stink.
33:39
All right. That's the facts, guys.
33:43
Are you guys like JJ Redick, You like John Shire?
33:46
Good. I I I wish you all the the best
33:49
with the arguments, but there's just no argument to that that
33:53
take to say that one's better than the other.
33:55
They're both were handed the job by coach K and LeBron James.
34:01
LeBron James went to ownership. As a matter of fact, misses bus
34:05
was the one that came out and she said this past year, he says
34:09
everything LeBron wanted. I gave him everything he wanted.
34:13
I gave him, including she didn't say JJ Redick.
34:15
But what is what does that mean? So think about it.
34:19
So it it just, it's pathetic. Anthony Davis, he wanted Anthony
34:21
Davis, he got Anthony Davis. I, I do not believe Luke and him
34:25
like each other. I think Luca wants him out and I
34:27
think LeBron wants out of the Lakers at the end of this year.
34:30
So who got Luca there? What?
34:33
What do you mean? I think that the NBA stepped in
34:36
there and I. The NBA?
34:39
Yes, I'm going to. Tell you.
34:40
I'm going to explain why. I'm going to explain why.
34:42
I'm going to explain why. Here's the facts.
34:46
They could have gotten a better package from the Celtics because
34:49
the Celtics would absolutely made a bit firm.
34:51
They could have gotten a better package from the Knicks.
34:54
They gave up nothing for Luka Dodgek.
34:57
As a matter of fact, it is one of the worst trades, if not the
35:01
worst trade in NBA history. And it's a proven fact.
35:04
There would've been a teams lining up.
35:06
The only team they reached out to twice was the Lakers.
35:09
Why? Because the NBA and the LJA, it
35:12
was a part of it. I'm telling you, you're going to
35:14
tell me out of all the teams you could have asked for to have a
35:17
conversation, they couldn't get a better deal than what the
35:20
Lakers gave him? Please.
35:21
Why would why would the balls? Why would the sensors?
35:24
And then two why would LeBron hire somebody he don't like?
35:28
What do you mean? You said the LGALJ approved Luke
35:34
Lucas arrival in the LA. At the time, at the time LeBron
35:39
James and Luca, Luca thought, I mean LeBron, LeBron probably
35:42
thought he could play with Luca and they can get along on the
35:44
basketball court. But if you watched all season
35:47
long with the Lakers and I've watched them a lot, they don't
35:49
like each other. If you see them on on the on the
35:52
bench, LeBron sits on one side, Lucas sits on the other.
35:56
What are you guys blind? You don't see it.
35:57
They don't. Yeah, but they don't mean they
35:59
don't like each other. LeBron needs like 2 speeds and
36:03
a. Wants to see like.
36:04
He has stuff that he needs on the side.
36:06
That's what you're not paying attention to.
36:08
Like they're not. They don't have to be friends
36:11
and buddy buddy to be able to, you know, work together like you
36:15
don't. You don't have to be that.
36:17
I think that's where you think that they like dislike each
36:19
other because they don't. They're not friendly and buddy
36:22
buddy, but they have spacing issues, which is the real issue
36:25
between them two. They both are ball dominant and
36:29
then LeBron sometimes don't want to take the backseat.
36:31
So, and it's, it's like a huge spacing issue because he's a
36:35
primary ball handler and all throughout his whole career.
36:38
I'm going to tell you you're absolutely wrong.
36:40
And when you don't like each other and you realize that you
36:43
guys can't play together and they've played enough games and
36:46
and you say it doesn't matter if they like each other or not.
36:49
It does. Because if you've seen what's
36:51
going on with the Lakers, the Lakers are hot right now.
36:54
Why are they? Hot.
36:54
Why they're very hot right now. Hold on, hold on one second.
36:59
You don't let me speak. So let me just I let you speak
37:02
so let me finish what I have to say.
37:04
They're hot right now. They won 10 games or 9 games in
37:07
a row and they're playing great basketball.
37:09
But here's the thing. Why are they playing big, great
37:11
basketball? It's not because of LeBron
37:13
James. It's because of Luka Doncic.
37:15
Luka Doncic LeBron has given the reins over to Luka.
37:20
Luka is now the leader of this team.
37:22
He is the guy and why is there stories coming out right now
37:25
that LeBron James? They're have been many different
37:28
stories that have come out and said that LeBron James will not
37:31
be back next year with the Lakers.
37:33
Why is that? He has one more year left on his
37:35
contract and he would make more money with the Lakers than go to
37:38
another team and take lesser money.
37:40
So why would he be doing that? Because he doesn't like Luka
37:42
Doncic, that's why. Well, they they always say that
37:45
whenever LeBron got one year left on his contract, he's up,
37:49
he's not going to come back. He's.
37:50
Going to go. To do that and do it every
37:53
single time, and LeBron has averaged 20 points on the last
37:55
10 games. That's great.
37:56
And Lucas? Average 32, so just Lucas.
38:00
Lucas scoring 32. Great.
38:03
So it's not just Luca that means they're working together,
38:05
something that you say is impossible for them to do.
38:08
We'll see what they do in the playoffs.
38:11
Don't you think it could be something else that just like
38:13
LeBron doesn't like being the third scoring option on the
38:17
team. He, Austin Reeves, averages 2
38:20
1/2 points a game more than LeBron this year.
38:22
You know, it's he's, he's the second option offensively, not
38:26
LeBron. And I, I think defensively, you
38:29
know, LeBron and Luca, they fall asleep a lot.
38:32
They both fly builders. They always been LeBron, you
38:35
know, But LeBron, LeBron go get a, he'll go get a block and then
38:39
they'll make it seem like he's his first team all defensive guy
38:42
because he got a huge block in the game.
38:44
LeBron was not always a liability.
38:46
LeBron was an elite defender in the last like half dozen years.
38:50
What are you talking about? What game are you watching?
38:52
You say you watch a lot of games.
38:54
LeBron. LeBron was an elite defender.
38:56
For nine years. He was an elite defender.
38:59
We in year 22. That's fine.
39:01
He was an elite defender. You say that LeBron James never
39:03
played defense. He's a liability.
39:05
He wasn't a liability forever. As you get older, your defensive
39:08
skills obviously aren't the same.
39:10
When Tim Duncan was getting older, he wasn't the same
39:13
defender he once was. He was the anchor of that
39:15
defense for so many years. But once he hit year 15, he
39:18
wasn't that guy anymore. They had to press more.
39:21
They had to use the guards and press more up up a top to get to
39:24
put more pressure on the bigs. So are you saying that LeBron
39:27
was a liability is ridiculous? That's not.
39:31
True years, he hasn't done anything.
39:34
That's fine. That's what I'm saying.
39:35
Like 1/2 a dozen years because he's like 36 to 42.
39:39
Not the same guy defensively, obviously, and how can he be?
39:42
You know what I mean? But it's the type of mistakes
39:44
that him and Luca next to each other on the court together that
39:48
could be a big problem because there's no one to catch up for
39:51
those mistakes. Anthony Davis ain't back there
39:54
to to make up for some of the things that they're doing.
39:58
I mean, that's. What saved?
40:00
That's what saved LeBron for years, was Anthony Davis could
40:03
protect the rim, right? And they don't really have that
40:06
now. Not the same.
40:08
It's not the same without them. Obviously they're better scoring
40:10
team. With Luca they're probably
40:11
better team. It's just that best defender.
40:15
Right. But I mean, he can't shoot.
40:16
He never could. You know that as a Celtics fan.
40:19
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
40:20
But they only got 1 defender. So it's like, yeah, you can
40:23
score all these points, but when it comes down to it, you're not
40:25
going to outscore people who end up getting stops on you.
40:28
If your shot ain't falling that night, you're going to get blown
40:30
out. True.
40:32
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we call this What's beef?
40:38
I'm a nut. I'm a nut.
40:42
Do you know what beef is? Do you know?
40:43
What beef is? I fight you both together if you
40:49
want, I fight. You want 1 poor time behind the
40:51
back. I fight you stand on one foot.
40:53
I fight you with my eyes. Closed What are you scared?
40:57
Watch your mouth. I see you.
40:59
Guaranteed to be. I see you one more time.
41:05
All right, ladies and gentlemen, there's a lot of beefing here in
41:08
New York. And I will say this, Brandon
41:13
Tierney and Greg Giannotti, our two guys very well respected.
41:18
Brandon Tierney got fired from CBS because CBS went down the
41:22
drain. And Greg Giannotti said some
41:25
interesting things about Brandon Tierney.
41:28
We got some video. You guys ready?
41:29
Let's go. But the thing that he said that
41:37
annoyed me and the reason why I want to bring it up is he said I
41:41
was a bad teammate for pranking the show and being a caller who
41:47
was busting his balls about drinking with the team.
41:50
Because he said that I was implying that he was drinking
41:52
with the team and that's being a bad teammate.
41:55
His take on that is exactly the reason why he couldn't cut it
42:01
here because he is someone who takes things way too seriously.
42:06
He can't laugh at himself and he doesn't get it.
42:11
And if he did, and he showed a little bit more personality and
42:14
could laugh at himself, maybe he would have had more success
42:17
here. So.
42:19
So hold on one second. Because he doesn't know how to
42:22
laugh at himself and he doesn't know how to take a joke.
42:25
That's why he got fired. Is that what you're saying?
42:28
And that's why he doesn't have a job.
42:29
I mean, come on, Greg. I've known Greg Giannotti for a
42:33
very long time. Me and him are practically the
42:35
same age. Greg Giannotti, I think is 43.
42:37
I'm 44. I'm going to be 44 this year.
42:40
I look at Greg Giannotti. How did you get your job?
42:44
How many people and how many asses you had to kiss to get
42:47
back to WFN? And then you said you were in
42:50
Pittsburgh. You were working for a
42:51
Pittsburgh station. And then you took Brandon
42:55
Tierney's job because, and you said this and it'll probably be
42:59
a part of this, this take over here in a very few minutes
43:02
because there's more to hear what Greg Giannotti has to say.
43:05
Greg Giannotti is a person of disrespect.
43:08
Now, I know a little bit about Brennan Tierney.
43:11
I know people that know Brennan Tierney.
43:13
I don't know him personally, but I've heard a lot of good things
43:16
about this guy. Whenever somebody wants to take
43:18
a picture with him, he will take a picture with you.
43:21
Whenever you have a question, if you're at an event with him,
43:23
he's going to sit there and have a conversation.
43:25
If you're a fan person, woman, man, kid, this guy is such a
43:30
he's a friendly person. He loves his teams, he loves his
43:33
sports. I have never heard anybody say
43:36
anything bad about Brandon Tierney ever.
43:38
And the guy to me has one of the most unique voices on radio.
43:42
He's very talented. He loves the Yankees, he loves
43:45
his sports, he loves the Knicks. He loves everything about New
43:49
York sports. And then Greg Giannotti had the
43:51
audacity, the Bulls, to say that's why he doesn't have a
43:54
job. He doesn't have a job because
43:56
CBS couldn't keep them. They couldn't afford them
43:58
because they're paying Greg Giannotti a lot of money because
44:01
he's boomers bitch and they bring it back a felon and Craig
44:04
Cordon. So that's that's the facts.
44:07
And then they they breathe. They put Tiki Barber with Evan
44:11
Roberts because Tiki is such a knowledgeable sports
44:15
broadcaster. He knows everything.
44:17
Tiki doesn't know crap. The only thing he knows is
44:19
football. But hey, Tiki Barber is Tiki
44:22
Barber and New York Giant fans love him.
44:24
That's why he has a job. Why would you attack this guy?
44:27
He was the wrong person to attack and Brandon Tinney, I, I
44:31
just, I feel bad for the guy because now he's looking for a
44:35
job. There's not many jobs out there
44:37
right now for a guy his age and he's had this backlash.
44:41
What Gianotti's doing to him is hurting his worth.
44:45
Nobody's going to hire Brandon Tierney if Greg Gianotti's
44:48
coming out and slandering him next one.
44:51
All right, here's here's Tierney firing back.
44:53
Sports station in the world and you can't even talk sports.
44:58
Nobody cares what you say. Do you think that anybody
45:01
listens to you to get ready for the Yankees or the Mets season?
45:04
Do you think that anybody gives a fuck what you think about
45:08
sports? Nobody does and nobody has and
45:11
nobody ever will. The shots that he's taking at
45:14
me, they are coming from somebody who is the most thin
45:18
skinned person in the business. When anybody takes a shot at
45:22
Greg, you know, now it's the end of the earth.
45:25
But Greg's never had an issue taking jabs at everybody.
45:29
And I mean everybody at the station always like that's his
45:34
game. That's his meal ticket.
45:36
You can't make fun of Joe B. And now if you can't make fun of
45:40
me. And you can't make fun of Mike.
45:42
What are you doing? Because nobody cares what you
45:45
do. You think about Shawn and I's
45:46
dip in velocity. Nobody and nobody ever will.
45:51
He's absolutely right. Here's the thing.
45:54
I I agree with a lot of things Brandon Tierney has said about
45:57
Greg Giannotti. He doesn't know anything about
46:00
sports. He's a Minnesota Vikings fan and
46:03
he's a broadcaster here in New York, a Minnesota Vikings fan,
46:07
and he talks about New York sports like he's so embedded
46:11
into it. Really.
46:12
You try to be like Craig Carton, You're not Craig Carton.
46:14
Let's be honest. You don't have that personality.
46:17
Craig Carton doesn't know sports and either do you?
46:19
But you're not as funny as Craig Carton.
46:21
I even know both of you don't know what the hell you're
46:23
talking about when you talk about it.
46:25
But the fact here is he tries to be something he's not.
46:28
He really doesn't have the education behind him on speaking
46:32
New York sports because every time he speaks about the Mets or
46:35
every time he speaks about the Yankees or every time he speaks
46:38
about the teams that he enjoys, he's so wrong.
46:40
He's so off. And then you have Boomer Asias
46:42
in that kisses his ass. Oh, then, then, then, then
46:45
Boomer. What do you think?
46:47
I agree totally, Greg, you're you're absolutely right.
46:50
It's just pathetic. What, when you go on a radio
46:53
show and you're supposed to be somebody's Yang to their Yang,
46:57
kind of like Quinton Coppols. He is my Yang to my Yang.
47:01
We love each other, but he disagrees on some of the stuff
47:04
and some of the takes I have. And I completely disagree with
47:07
some of his takes. I don't I don't hate him.
47:10
I'm not going to go out and say, yo, Quinton Coppols is an ass.
47:13
I can't take that MOP. I want to smack the you know
47:16
what out of him. When I see him in Pittsburgh,
47:18
I'm going to beat the hell out of him.
47:20
I'm going to choke him when he's sleeping.
47:21
I'm not going out there saying that, even though sometimes, you
47:25
know, I want to do that to some of the guys here in the studio.
47:28
But hey, the fact here is I'm a respectable guy.
47:31
And if I know that I'm in the same studio as somebody and I
47:34
see him, I'm going to say hi to him.
47:35
I'm not going to sit back in another room knowing that he's
47:39
doing another show in the other area and not going over there at
47:42
the end of my show and, and having, you know, having a nice
47:45
conversation with him because, oh, I don't like him or he
47:47
doesn't speak to me with respect.
47:50
Greg, stop being a bitch. Stop being a bitch.
47:53
You're you're you're at WFAN and you have a job.
47:56
Because nobody Boomer wanted to work with.
48:00
Nobody wanted to work with Boomer, and the only one Boomer
48:02
wanted to work with was you. Why?
48:04
Because you kiss his ass. All you do is kiss everybody's
48:08
ass. So Brandon Tierney is absolutely
48:10
right. Nobody wants to hear what he has
48:12
to say when it comes to sports. He doesn't know what he's
48:14
talking about. He has no idea what he's talking
48:17
about. All he does is he makes these
48:19
these voice impressions. He makes fun of Mike Francis,
48:22
makes fun of Joe B. He doesn't like those guys.
48:25
Or he throws it. He's taking shots at a Ryan
48:28
Hurley, his boss. Ryan Hurley hasn't fired this
48:30
guy. You know why?
48:31
Because Boomer likes him and Boomer runs that station right
48:34
now. Say whatever you want.
48:36
The Morning Show is the biggest show, even though stuff is
48:39
falling apart because I have this idiot as the face in the
48:42
the voice of the Morning show. All right, well guys, you could
48:50
also share your takes on it, sweetie and Quinn.
48:53
Like, I've been listening to these guys for a long time too.
48:56
And it's really important as a sports fan to know that it's
49:00
sports we're talking about. If you make it personal, that's
49:04
on you. When you make it personal.
49:07
You're absolutely right, Errol. Like, it's, that's not what it's
49:09
about. Like we're trying to have fun
49:11
here. We're talking, this is about the
49:13
game we're playing. Obviously as business, there's
49:15
money and stuff like that. And people's character, you
49:18
know, gets revealed by actions when they're put under pressure,
49:21
when a lot of money's at stake. I don't have those things, that
49:24
type of pressure on me. I'm just sitting here on the
49:27
sidelines, you know, seeing it just like the rest of us, you
49:29
know, judging. But why are we taking it
49:32
personal? Here's the thing.
49:33
Now I want to say this. When you're making between
49:36
$280,000 and 500 grand, all to be boomers, bitch, and you're
49:42
going to sit there and say you have a job and you're you're
49:44
mocking a guy that just lost his job.
49:47
I would never mock anybody for losing their job.
49:50
And it wasn't it wasn't Brandon Tierney.
49:53
That was the reason why he lost his job.
49:55
He lost the job because CBS went out of business.
49:59
That's the fact that the sports broadcasting end of it went out
50:02
of business. And the only reason why he still
50:04
has a job is because WFAN is trying to salvage what is going
50:10
on because they bring in Spike Eskens.
50:12
He jumps, he leaves because he he ruined the organization, he
50:16
ruined the sports part of the the industry.
50:18
He jumps, he goes back to Philadelphia to to be the voice
50:21
of the drive home show in Philadelphia at at the fan over
50:25
there. And then they they bring in Ryan
50:27
Hurley, who is a Hofstra alum who was running ESPN New York.
50:33
And he's a guy that is a yes man guy.
50:36
That's what Ryan Hurley is. He's not a guy that's going to
50:38
pull the take the bull by its horns.
50:40
He's just somebody else speaking from the the guys, the bosses.
50:44
And I think the fact here is if I was Ryan Hurley and I heard
50:48
that this man was mocking me and I was in the other room, I would
50:52
go right in there and suspend him.
50:53
I would have suspended him. And you're talking about two
50:56
guys, Joe B, who retired and then came back because they
50:59
begged him to come back. And Brandon Tierney, who took
51:03
the job. He should have just stayed at
51:06
CBS Sports where he was, where he was.
51:08
He jumped because his dream was to be a broadcaster with WWFEN.
51:12
And then they had him in position with Tiki Barber.
51:15
He was with Tiki Barber and they moved him and they gave him one
51:19
of the dumbest people in sports broadcasting and Mr. Baldy
51:23
himself, who couldn't cut it over there at WFN and he barely
51:27
has a job at SNY and everybody knows what I'm talking about
51:29
with that one, too. Yeah, the one that makes all
51:31
those bad Mets takes. As a Mets fan, it's definitely
51:34
painful to have to listen to him and SNY.
51:36
And it makes the rest of the SNY analysts, a couple of them have
51:40
been on our show, actually look pretty good and makes the rest
51:44
of that show look really. Bad.
51:45
I'm so, I'm so done. I'm so done with this.
51:49
Greg Giannotti should apologize. He should really reach, shout
51:52
out to Brandon Tierney and apologize for what he said
51:54
because this man lost his job. He's got children, he's got a
51:57
family, he's got a house to take care of.
52:00
And you're going to just mock him on a radio station because
52:04
you have a job and he don't? That's so disgusting.
52:07
It's like me, OK, I got a job. I get hired by a major network
52:12
and a major network tells me, well, you can't have these guys.
52:14
You, you got to, you got to come on without these guys.
52:17
And I, I sit there and I say, no, I want these guys to come
52:20
and I want them to be a part of this.
52:22
They work their asses off too. And they say, well, we don't
52:25
want them, we want you. Well, then you can't have me,
52:27
you know, So I'm, I'm a dedicated person.
52:30
I'm a I'm a team, I'm a team player, OK.
52:34
And Greg Giannotti doing what he did at WFEN shows you he's not a
52:38
team player. He's a me player.
52:40
He's all about himself. He doesn't care about anybody
52:43
else but himself. And to attack a man after losing
52:46
his job the way he did is completely despicable,
52:49
completely despicable. I, I, I have nothing else to say
52:52
about it. It's just horrible to see.
52:54
And, and Brandon, honestly, there's no reason he's even to
52:58
attack him because the truth is anybody that knows you as a
53:02
person and respects you as a man knows that you are not a bad
53:06
person, knows that you're a respected person in this
53:09
industry. And what I've heard from people
53:11
that know Brandon Tierney says that he's one of the nicest
53:14
educated sports broadcasters in this industry, so.
53:19
Who is the one that you called and attacked him on?
53:21
Daniel Jones and Aaron Rodgers. Monaco.
53:24
Oh, Chris Mcmonaco. Is that a Cardin's guy now?
53:29
Yes, I think it is. I think it is.
53:32
I think it is. It was Chris Mcmonaco.
53:34
His fat ass. OK, I'll say what I have to say.
53:39
He had the audacity to tell me on the show.
53:42
My Brittany was sitting in the bed with me when I called this
53:45
guy up on a speakerphone. So I wanted to hear the
53:48
interview. I wanted her to hear the
53:49
interview. And this idiot tells me that
53:52
Daniel Jones had better numbers than Aaron Rodgers that year and
53:58
then he had the audacity to tell me after that, after that, that
54:04
sake they should not resign Saquon Barkley, that they should
54:07
give Darren Waller more money and sign up for a longer deal.
54:12
What did Darren Waller do for the Giants?
54:16
Absolutely nada. Nothing.
54:19
Saquon Barkley goes to the Eagles, breaks, almost breaks
54:23
Eric Dickerson's record and runs all over people and wins the
54:27
Super Bowl with the Eagles the next year and you got, you have
54:29
the audacity to say that? And then Craig Cardin brings him
54:32
on a show. What a joke.
54:34
An absolute joke. If I ever sat in a room with
54:36
this guy, I would snap. I would smack the fat off that
54:39
guy's body. OK, it it just absolute
54:42
ridiculousness. New York sports is dying right
54:45
now. New York sports radio is dying
54:48
because of this garbage that's on the radio.
54:51
Waller decided instead of playing for the Giants, he was
54:55
going to work release the worst rap album of the entire year and
55:00
and. Figure this one out.
55:02
Figure this one out. After he signed with the Giants,
55:04
he gets a divorce with his wife. So she probably says, you know
55:07
what? I don't want to go to New York.
55:09
I don't want to go to WNBA, right.
55:11
She's on the Aces and the jet trade.
55:13
Kelsey Plum, as soon as he signed that contract with the
55:16
Giants, she divorced them. So.
55:19
She or she was the better athlete.
55:21
I don't know, but Chris Mcmonaco is AII have no idea what why and
55:28
by the way he did. Craig Carton doesn't even let
55:30
that guy speak. That guy does not, he's not even
55:34
allowed to speak that. He has to have his own podcast
55:37
because and nobody do you want to listen to a guy for six
55:40
hours, six hours on the radio going back and forth with Craig
55:44
Carney, who doesn't speak any sports whatsoever.
55:46
He's talking about dog shit on the side, the side of the road
55:49
and people don't pick up their dog shit.
55:50
I mean, this is sports radio. I don't want to hear about your
55:54
take on dog crap or doggy Doo Doo or this stuff.
55:57
And then you talk about The Jets like you're they're your team.
56:00
Meanwhile, you've thrown The Jets under the bus every single
56:02
year you've been on WFN. So I, I just, I don't want to
56:06
hear it. And then I listen to Chris and
56:09
then after six hours he has his own podcast almost every other
56:12
day. Why do I want to hear that fat
56:14
ass on his own podcast? Have to listen to him for six
56:16
hours with Craig Cotton. It's pathetic.
56:19
It's garbage. Brandon Tierney is probably one
56:23
of the more talented guys WFA had, and they fired his ass.
56:28
It makes no sense. None of it.
56:31
So please, tell me, what if I'm wrong about this great Giannotti
56:36
taking shots at Brandon Tierney? It's just ridiculous.
56:39
And all he does is do these these impressions, you know,
56:44
tries to do the Frank Sinatra thing.
56:45
He tries to do this, tries to do that.
56:47
And I don't want to hear about the ministry Minnesota Vikings
56:49
here in New York. I could give a crap about the
56:52
Minnesota Vikings. Thank you to all the fans on

57:33
Week, all right, Nathan got two draft prospects for next week,
57:35
both 8:20 Eastern Time starts. Monday will be Jelani Davis's
57:39
name. He's a defensive defensive
57:41
lineman. Draft prospect at Kent State. 6
57:43
foot two, 285 lbs. Lulu.
57:45
He'll be joining us at 8:20. And then on Thursday, safety and
57:48
outside linebacker from Navy 6 foot 202 LB Jackson Campbell
57:52
will be joining us. Make her squirt.
57:55
Make me jerk. Very interesting guy as always
57:59
Nathan, as he always says. I love Lisa Ann.
58:02
As he always says, and he never will get Lisa Ann.
58:05
Just so everybody knows. No way.
58:07
I think Lisa Lisa Ann has slept with every single cowboy player
58:10
in the 90s. Nathan's probably like, like,
58:14
like a little teddy bear to her. I mean, I mean, 5 foot 6.
58:20
I mean, come on. She would torture that guy.
58:23
Him and his blue blazer. There he is, Nithin the Care
58:30
Bear. That's it is, that's all it is.
58:33
I love his hand athletes. Athletes.
58:38
Athletes, athletes. I love when he says that.
58:40
And I'm like athletes, you mean athletes.
58:45
I love you Nith we love you. That's it.
58:48
Good night. Farewell.
58:49
It's it's the worldwide sports. Radio network.
58:52
Radio network. Radio Network.
