0:57
Welcome to the Mac and Jack Sports Show.
1:01
I'm Jack and my partner there with the hat.
1:04
That's not as good looking as mine.
1:06
That's Mac O there and we're taking you into the weekend of
1:10
all the sports activity. I mean sports goes around the
1:14
clock and there was a game last night.
1:17
I mean, let's start out with that.
1:19
It was the Washington Commanders at the Chicago Bears and Mac.
1:23
I think there was a cloud hanging over yesterday's game.
1:27
I mean, not only was it a weak matchup, is weak a matchup as
1:32
you could virtually make in the NFL, but there was a cloud
1:36
hanging over the game in the sense that a report came out
1:40
early on the day on ESPN about the Washington Commander owner
1:45
Daniel Snyder. But first, the game.
1:48
Let's talk about the game. I mean, it was a real thriller
1:51
compared to the week before on Thursday Night Football when
1:55
Indianapolis played Denver, a game that had Al Michaels
1:59
threatening to quit. You know, it broadcast.
2:02
He said it tongue in cheek, but he was really disgusted with the
2:06
game. This game was marginally better,
2:09
but the score was 12, seven. That's all you need to know.
2:14
You can say great defense and you know, maybe you could get
2:17
away with it, but you can also say in net offense and you can
2:21
get away with that as well. But Washington escapes with a
2:25
win 1212 to seven there two and four in the season.
2:30
But Mac, I can't see them being any type of factor in the NFC
2:35
East. Get three teams ahead of them,
2:38
and even if the Giants lose this week, they'll still be a couple
2:42
of games ahead of Washington. Even if Dallas loses, they'll
2:45
still be a couple of games ahead of Washington and Philadelphia
2:50
is a few games up. And these these things, if
2:52
anything, are going to pull away from Washington.
2:56
And I just see it as being a long season for the Washington
3:00
Commanders. So what's your impression?
3:02
What was your impression like last night's game?
3:05
Well, as you said it was, it was pretty boring Jack.
3:08
I mean they did sack fields, I think it was like 5 times.
3:16
He was kind of disappointing. I don't you know, I'm not saying
3:21
he's not going to be a good quarterback or a franchise
3:24
quarterback for the Bears, but he sure didn't look like it last
3:28
night. Washington again, you know, good
3:32
defense, offense playing terrible even though they got
3:35
some weapons over there. I don't know what's going on.
3:37
I think the offensive line needs a lot of.
3:39
Work. And I would I would say that
3:43
Washington will be lucky to win a couple more games this year,
3:47
Jack. Well, I mean, that's a both
3:50
statement, considering Washington has 11 more games.
3:53
And you, you'd figure they would, you'd figure they'd win
3:58
some of them, two or three or whatever.
4:00
I mean, I don't even want to put a number on it.
4:02
But yesterday's game was a game that someone had to win.
4:05
The Bass should have won the game.
4:07
Special teams factored into it. In the fourth quarter, a muff
4:12
punt put by Chicago put Washington in position to get
4:17
the go ahead touchdown. As far as Justin Fields maybe
4:21
being a franchise squad, but he is the Bear franchise
4:24
quarterback right now. I mean, they're not looking
4:27
elsewhere. He's in the second year.
4:30
They're being patient with his development.
4:33
So in a certain sense, they're doing it the right way that he's
4:37
not being rushed. Good old Mac.
4:52
Good morning, Jack. I pulled back.
4:54
Look for you. Who would have known that he's
4:55
your guys's quarterback now? Justin Fields, I had to give you
4:58
a throwback with Mac there. Good morning from Mac and Jack
5:01
Sonya, and this is Jack. Well, for those listeners out
5:04
there, I had no idea what Sonya was doing with that throwback,
5:08
but you know, it's always good to see Mac and that was on take
5:13
delay that took place a while ago, obviously with Mac and
5:17
myself. But it's always fun listening to
5:20
these past tapes, you know, how things with the time and how
5:25
they turned out and talking about Justin Fields maybe being
5:28
the best franchise quarterback, who would have thought?
5:31
He's now the Jet starting quarterback and yet in between
5:36
with Pittsburgh. But we don't know whether he's
5:39
going to be the Jet franchise quarterback or not.
5:42
That remains to be seen, but Washington wasn't good the rest
5:46
of that. Yeah.
5:47
And they went number two overall in the draft, which allowed them
5:51
to pick Jayden Daniels. So that's how it turned out.
5:54
Yeah, definitely had to start us out there.
5:56
Of course, download the Roku app so that you 2 can be in the know
5:59
when we're live here. Of course, having a great
6:03
morning here on this Wednesday, May 7th, 2025.
6:07
And of course, all our shows this week have been in honor of
6:10
Mac, our creator, producer, host extraordinaire and long time
6:15
friend of Jack's, Keith's and of course myself and so many
6:19
others. And we continue to pray for Miss
6:21
Linda and his family and friends.
6:24
All right, so Jack, in true Mac style, he'd want us to continue
6:28
on with the show. The show.
6:30
Max style. I know what Mac would start off
6:33
with. He would start off with the
6:35
Knicks Celtic game. That was the night before last
6:39
and I would be exasperated. I would say start off with last
6:43
night's game and then we'll get to the Knicks Celtic game.
6:46
And I was going to do. Last.
6:47
Night. I was going to do the opposite,
6:49
so you're right. I would follow yours.
6:51
Slur smashing. Sorry about that, Mac.
6:54
I would have followed last night's game and then retract
6:57
back since we hadn't seen each other.
6:59
But you know, I would we could go ahead and start with the
7:03
Warriors. We could start with that game.
7:04
That's that's the most recent game.
7:06
Like you said there, Jack. Of course, Steph Curry getting
7:09
injured, favoring that left hamstring in the first quarter
7:13
of the game already early on 1st matchup against the T Wolves.
7:17
I'm Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler do stand up in the gap.
7:20
9988 Warriors going to win their first matchup. 1820 first
7:25
quarter very close with Steph in there.
7:28
Once he he left 2611 was scored. Warriors continued to dominate
7:33
just a little bit at that point. At the third quarter after the
7:36
half, 36 to 29 was the score with the scoring baskets.
7:41
During that quarter, the last quarter only 19 baskets put up.
7:45
Jack and Minnesota of course, 28, but it was just too much for
7:49
them to hold on and the Warriors get it done in the first match
7:52
up. Yeah, I mean, Coach Fitch called
7:56
out Anthony Edwards afterwards, even though Anthony Edwards was
7:59
the best player for the Timberwolves on the floor.
8:03
He's the leader. He's supposed to be a superstar.
8:06
He's got to take charge. And the Timberwolves are such a
8:10
dysfunctional team. You never know what you're
8:12
getting with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
8:15
We saw that happen last year when they beat the Denver
8:19
Nuggets in the playoffs and then go on and lose to the Dallas
8:22
Mavericks and don't get to the Finals.
8:25
And by the way, the Timberwolves, Minnesota
8:27
Timberwolves have never been to an NBA Finals in their history,
8:32
let alone winning an NBA championship.
8:35
So just getting to the Finals, that should be the big goal.
8:39
And it happened again this year. They beat the they beat the
8:45
look. That.
8:46
Excuse me? I didn't even realize they had
8:49
never gone. That's that's really a stat
8:51
there, Jack. Yeah, well, they, well, they
8:54
can't. Years back when they had
8:56
Luttrell's free will, Kevin Garnett and all, they went to
8:59
the Western finals but never quite made it to the NBA Finals
9:05
where they get eliminated. They didn't make it to the
9:07
Finals for and then the NBA. There's no prestige of making it
9:12
to the Final Four. This isn't the NCAA tournament,
9:15
but if you lose in the Final Four, you lose in the semis.
9:19
There's a certain prestige. Well, we made the Final Four
9:23
where where that stands out. That doesn't mean anything in
9:26
the NBA. Even making the Finals isn't
9:30
such a big deal unless you've never been there.
9:32
And the Timberwolves have never been there.
9:35
But this year they beat the Lakers in five games.
9:37
They've got their mojo the way they had last year when they
9:40
beat Denver and they come flat Game one, you know, at home
9:45
against Golden State, and it's inexcusable.
9:49
Steph Curry, Steph Curry basically on the bench most of
9:53
the game. They lose and they lose
9:55
decisively. I mean, is it a blip or
9:58
whatever? Is it just A1 bad game?
10:02
But I, I don't understand Minnesota.
10:05
You know it all why the other players didn't step up.
10:09
Now you could think about Golden State having their big
10:12
three-step, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, but Minnesota
10:16
should be able to cancel that out with their big three with
10:20
Anthony Edwards, Rudy Goldberg, Julius Randall.
10:24
If Anthony Edwards is a true superstar, he's going to match
10:28
Steph Curry and he and Steph Curry wasn't even in the dawn
10:32
game most of the time going forward.
10:35
So it makes me think if his left hamstring is any type of factor,
10:41
it's going to be very hard to be effective because these
10:44
hamstring injuries could take a while to get better.
10:49
And even in the case of Steph Curry, he's going to be
10:53
compromised. Even if he can play, is he going
10:56
to be able to run the court all out?
10:59
Is he going to be 7580%? And he's is he basically just
11:04
going to try to be a factor by setting up shooting, you know,
11:07
an offense? But he'll definitely have to be
11:10
compromised defensively. Yeah, basically, you know,
11:15
that's and that's the story today.
11:16
Steph Curry, this is not his first time being injured.
11:19
But with this happening, I mean, some analysts are actually
11:22
questioning the leadership of Anthony Edwards as the T Wolves
11:27
leader. I mean, Jack, you mentioned it
11:29
so eloquently. Ant Man, as they affectionately
11:31
know him, has been known in some instances to be kind of the
11:35
leader at least. But I don't even know if he's
11:37
actually able to step into this leadership role that he's been
11:41
thrust into because of the positioning that the T Wolves
11:44
have already been in throughout the season.
11:47
I think he accepts the responsibility, don't get me
11:50
wrong, and he takes accountability.
11:54
I mean, that's all fine and good at the end of the day.
11:58
Forget all this locker room talk.
11:59
Forget getting the confidence of the players.
12:02
You've got to do it on the court.
12:04
You can't be inconsistent. You can't show flashes of
12:08
greatness. You've got to get over the top
12:12
at some point and he's been in the league long enough and they
12:17
just haven't gotten it done. I like I said, they beat the
12:20
Lakers in five games. They have their mojo.
12:23
Anthony Edwards is going to keep riding them.
12:26
And what happened last night, I mean, what happened last night?
12:30
A season Golden State team in the shout out to Buddy Hill, the
12:34
second game in a row he came up big for Golden and they were
12:39
never in the game. Minnesota, it's like they didn't
12:41
show up. Maybe it's just one bad game and
12:44
they get it out of the way. But the bottom line, they lost,
12:48
you know, they lost at home. They should have been riding the
12:51
momentum from the Lakers series. Maybe having off the a good part
12:56
of the week did it for him. I I don't know.
12:59
I mean, I will say it says a lot that they are playing the
13:04
Warriors without Steph Curry and they still and Steph goes down,
13:08
like we said early in the game, early enough that the T Wolves
13:12
should have been able to pull this off.
13:14
So I mean, we don't know if he comes back.
13:18
They have Game 2 on tomorrow night at 8:30.
13:22
Of course, these hamstring injuries can be tricky.
13:24
We don't know how how you know, different and this one may be,
13:29
but I mean Jack, we say it all the time at the end of the
13:31
season in every sport, everybody's at least playing
13:35
with some injury to some sort of degree because they've been
13:39
playing all season long and their bodies are now extended to
13:42
the postseason and they're playing even more aggressively
13:44
because they're trying to get a championship.
13:50
Certain teams affected more by injuries than others.
13:54
I mean, we're going to when we talk about the Cleveland
13:56
Cavaliers in a little while, they were really impacted by the
14:01
injuries, you know, last night's game and then quite a hole in
14:05
this series right now that we're going to talk about.
14:09
But yeah, I mean, how many players are healthy the whole
14:12
year? I mean, you got to kind of work
14:15
through the aches, you work through the pains.
14:18
There's some injuries, though, that are really prohibitive,
14:21
like a hamstring injury. It's not the more determined
14:25
you're on, the more effort you put out.
14:28
Yeah, I'm the more of a risk of re injuring back.
14:31
And you have to think of that fact as well.
14:34
I you have to kind of hold back to a degree and certain
14:38
injuries. And we'll see what Steph Curry,
14:41
how he works through it. But some hamstring injuries
14:45
could put you out, you know, 3-4 weeks, some you could bounce
14:50
back from in a couple of days. But you still have to be
14:53
cautious in the way you do it. Yeah, that's going to be that's
14:57
serious, especially when you don't have 3 or 4 weeks in the
15:00
post season to try to get backdrop like that's the
15:02
difference in staying in and going home.
15:05
You alluded to the Cavaliers game and I was actually going to
15:07
talk about that one next. Donovan Mitchell, we talked
15:10
about him on Monday, Jack, about whether or not he was a big
15:12
name. He put up 48 points last night,
15:16
a very close nail biter and their game on the road against
15:20
the the Rockets, they got it done.
15:26
Excuse me, against the the Cavs game got it done 1/19 to 1/20.
15:30
I got tongue tied. There.
15:31
Well, the Cavs didn't get it done.
15:33
The Pacers up. Yeah, the Cavs.
15:35
Lost. What do you mean got it done?
15:38
They they should have gotten it done the Don Cavs.
15:41
But Donovan Mitchell tried to carry his team on the back.
15:46
Then he ran out of gas at the end of the game.
15:48
He put up great numbers. No complaining about Donovan
15:52
Mitchell it all. You know, the Cavs had out
15:55
Mobley, they had out Mobley was out, Garland was out.
16:00
They were impacted by injuries. But Estonia, when you Rep 7
16:04
points with 49 seconds to go, the NBA is about closing games
16:09
out and we're seeing this in the playoffs.
16:13
How many of the teams are not closing games out that they
16:16
should? We saw it a couple of nights ago
16:18
with Denver beating OK C when OK C couldn't close the game out.
16:23
We saw it with Boston in the next where Boston had a 20 point
16:27
lead in the second-half, a 14 point lead, I think entering the
16:31
4th period, Nate and they couldn't close the game out and
16:37
and that's what the NBA is and Cleveland just couldn't close
16:40
the game out. Cleveland Pacers kept hanging
16:44
around getting second chances at the end.
16:47
Halliburton hits the big shot. You know what annoyed me at the
16:50
end of the? Day big three Jack.
16:51
He hit Tyrese Halliburton, hit the Big Three and the and the
16:55
Cavs could not keep pace with the Pacers.
16:58
Yeah, well, yeah. And you know what annoys me
17:01
about the NBA and the coaches? I think they're listening a
17:05
little too much to the media that they're so concerned about
17:08
their timeouts in such fear if they lose a close game and they
17:14
have one timeout left, they're going to get heavily criticized.
17:19
Oh, you left the timeout in your pocket?
17:22
So instead, they use their timeouts and don't have one at
17:26
the end. And then they're forced into a
17:29
desperate situation. Look, when the Pacers hit the
17:33
final basket with 1.1 seconds left to go up by 1, the
17:39
Capitalists had no timeouts left.
17:41
Imagine they had a timeout left and they could take the ball
17:44
out, you know, from, you know, past half court where they could
17:49
conceivably get a good shot. But they didn't.
17:53
They didn't have any timeouts left.
17:55
And what drives me crazy too, when the team needs a
17:59
desperation shot at the end of the game, throw the dawn ball
18:03
down the court. You got nothing to lose.
18:06
Maybe one of your guys catches it.
18:09
Maybe he gets fouled. Don't give it to him to take a
18:13
shot from three quarters court. Come on.
18:16
I mean, I have nearly as good a chance by the Lotto ticket and
18:20
becoming rich as you know, you have a hitting that shot.
18:24
It never makes any sense to me, you know, at all how these games
18:28
end. You know, with a desperation
18:30
heave when the team should have a time out left and at least be
18:34
able to set up potentially a a a a somewhat viable shot.
18:39
But Cleveland is in a desperate situation now.
18:44
I mean, they're down to nothing going back to Indiana injuries,
18:49
A64 win team. They've lost their mojo.
18:53
I mean, that two games they lost, two games that they easily
18:56
could have won. Well, the first game, I won't
19:00
say that they quite blew it. Indiana was in command a good
19:03
part of the game, and Cleveland came back, took a lead, then
19:06
Indiana retook them at the end. But last night, leading the
19:10
whole game, I mean, it seemed for sure that they were going to
19:14
win. And then all of a sudden, the
19:16
game's over and they lost. What a devastating loss.
19:20
Not be honest, Sonia. I didn't see this coming.
19:24
I assumed Cleveland was going to get to the Eastern Conference
19:28
finals. I already penciled in Cleveland
19:32
against the Boston Celtics and I gave the next a better chance of
19:37
beating the Celtics and I did the paces of beating Cleveland
19:40
if you ask me going in. Well, I mean, it's kind of hard.
19:45
I mean, we all kind of did this was we thought this was
19:47
Cleveland's year to be super competitive.
19:49
And they have been. I mean, look where they are, but
19:51
it's extremely difficult when you have those three stars out,
19:55
Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and DeAndre Hunter, like you
19:57
mentioned. I mean, those are their
19:59
powerhouses and they they left the entire resting on Mitchell.
20:04
I mean, he literally left it all out on the on the court there,
20:07
Jack. And so the fact that.
20:10
The team literally was carried on his shoulders.
20:12
He's a one man show there right now.
20:14
I don't know how long his his endurance can continue to crank
20:19
out stats like that by himself. Someone else has to step up from
20:24
that Cavaliers team and be able to at least provide some type of
20:27
substantial assistance. Yeah, and you won the
20:32
Cleveland's mindset. The result for the players, it's
20:38
not like they lost the first two games in Indiana and now they're
20:42
going home for the next two. You know, they're going to
20:45
Indiana for the next two games and it's going to be tough
20:51
sledding for Cleveland there. I mean, can they win two games
20:55
in Indiana and even the series? You know, I I wouldn't put it
20:59
past them being able to do it because I do think they're the
21:01
better team and they showed it throughout the year.
21:05
But they've got to get it together quick.
21:07
They can't be a carryover of them thinking, oh, we blew this
21:12
game. You know, what should have been
21:13
one no worse than one up? And if that's their mindset, if
21:18
they're thinking about it, OK, they're going to have like big
21:22
troubles. You know, unlike the Celtics,
21:25
who it's one game, the Celtics, I think they know what they did
21:29
wrong. You know, or they know that
21:32
Porzingis was out a good part of the game.
21:35
They missed a lot of shots they'd normally make.
21:38
I think the Celtics, who only got one game to nothing and a
21:41
very good frame of mind playing the next big game too.
21:46
But Cleveland down to nothing now.
21:48
I mean, it just, you know, doesn't it really looks bad for
21:53
them at this moment? Yeah, and let's go ahead and
21:57
move forward with the night before last game while we're
22:00
sticking with the Eastern Conference, of course, we'll
22:02
transfer over to the Western in a moment.
22:04
That Knicks, Celtics matchup. No one needs to be getting happy
22:08
with the Knicks being one O over the Celtics right now.
22:10
They're going to be playing, excuse me, tonight at 7:00 PM.
22:14
I the verdict is still out. That's my favorite phrase.
22:17
There's no need for Knicks fans to be super excited about
22:21
beating A1 Game Match. Why?
22:23
Not why shouldn't they be? Excited.
22:27
It's the Celtics. The defending champions?
22:29
Absolutely not Jayson Tatum and them are ready with their
22:33
arsenal. You got Kristaps Porzingis
22:37
missed the second-half of the game of their loss, of the loss
22:41
to the Knicks just because he was sick.
22:43
So he was out. That's a big, big person that
22:46
they really depend on. He's the sensor.
22:49
He didn't play in the entire second-half.
22:51
The game was still close, one O 8 to one O 5, and it went
22:55
overtime, Jack, It went overtime so.
22:58
I watched the Don game, Sonia, you have to tell me when over
23:01
the moment where, what happened. I can watch, I'll tell you that.
23:04
Only happy about that little one.
23:07
I'm going to tell you about the overtime.
23:10
The Knicks set up a play at the buzzer and regulation to Brunson
23:15
and he misses a shot that he normally always make.
23:18
And I think, oh, now the Knicks are going to probably lose.
23:23
And any chance they had of winning the series, that was it.
23:29
That was lost. The Brunson makes the shot up 1.
23:32
Nothing. At least they got hope of
23:35
serious hope of winning the series.
23:37
I'm not saying they will. I think they will because I
23:40
don't. I think Boston ultimately
23:43
prevails. But at least the Knicks open the
23:46
door to the possibility that they can win this series.
23:50
And Brunson misses the shot. And then they're going to
23:53
overtime and Brunson misses a three-point at the start.
23:57
Overtime, the Knicks get the rebound, throw it out to Brunson
24:00
and he misses another 3 pointer. You know it's not going well,
24:04
but the Knicks regroup. But you're right, you mentioned
24:07
a good point. Porzingis thing out.
24:10
Major difference. Major, major difference that in
24:14
Boston's poor shooting. I mean, Boston was going 3 point
24:19
crazy. They've been doing it all year,
24:22
so I understand. And they just weren't knocking
24:24
down the shots. And I'm going to tell you Sonia,
24:27
these teams have certain analytics that we don't have.
24:33
You can miss a good amount of three-point shots, but they
24:37
count to three points as opposed to fouling someone and they make
24:41
one out of two. They're only getting one point.
24:45
And and even you know the amount of two pointers compared to
24:49
three pointers. It's turned into a three-point
24:52
league in large part. And.
24:56
Which, I mean, it's entertaining.
24:59
It's a league of shooters right now and Boston was really cold
25:04
from the three-point line. You anticipate that's going to
25:08
change the degree. But also from the Knicks side of
25:11
it, they got off to a dreadful start.
25:14
They were down as much as 20. They were struggling until they
25:18
started coming on in the second-half so the Knicks could
25:22
play better themselves and that's how they have to look at
25:25
things. Karl Anthony Towns had gone into
25:27
some foul trouble and Knicks could do a better job from
25:32
there. And, and kudos to Mikkel
25:34
Bridges. He put in all those minutes.
25:36
He's a, he's, you know, he's, I don't want to say like an Iron
25:40
Man. You know, the guys in the past
25:42
used to put in all those minutes, too.
25:45
Do you know Wilt Chamberlain once missed only 13 minutes the
25:48
whole season, The whole season, I mean, But kudos to McHale
25:54
Bridges, a really good defender there.
25:57
Hit a couple of key shots, was on the court, you know,
26:00
practically the whole game. And Tom Thibodeau does like to
26:05
put a lot of the burden on his starters, give him a lot of
26:08
minutes. I'd like to see a guy like
26:10
Mitchell Robinson who's really good defender get get, you know,
26:15
a few more minutes than he normally gets.
26:17
But it's a good win for the Knicks.
26:19
But what's their mindset going to be tonight for game two?
26:23
It's it's I hate the term throwaway game because the
26:27
Knicks can't afford any throwaway games against the
26:30
Celtics, that's for sure. But I don't want to hear after
26:34
the game any of this nonsense. Well, we went into Boston and we
26:38
got a split, so we're happy with that.
26:41
No, I'll be you take it one game at a time.
26:46
Don't talk this nonsense about homecourt advantage.
26:51
Oh, we got the homecourt advantage because we won a game.
26:55
You take it a darn game at a time.
26:58
The Knicks have been better on the road than they've been at
27:01
home. Certain teams are better on the
27:03
road than they are at home for whatever crazy reason.
27:07
The only time homecourt advantage meet is somewhat
27:11
significant to me. If it's a Game 7 or or if you're
27:15
down to nothing and you need real hope, then you're going
27:19
home and you're thinking, OK, we're down to nothing, but we're
27:22
going home and it gives you a lift.
27:24
That's why I'm pessimistic about the Cavaliers.
27:28
They're going to Indianapolis down to nothing.
27:31
If they were going back home to Cleveland, I think that would
27:35
give them a boost that they're not getting.
27:39
Yeah, definitely. So you you brought up a couple
27:41
things I want to plug in. We're in a three-point
27:43
competition because I blame Steph Curry.
27:45
He's the one making these shots from the locker room.
27:48
Almost. There's a video clip of him,
27:50
Jack, that he's coming out of the tunnel and he throws a shot
27:54
just just playing around. He's coming out of the tunnel
27:58
onto the court. He throws a shot from the tunnel
28:01
entranceway and it goes in Jack, it goes in.
28:05
I blame Steph Curry. I love him.
28:06
He's one of my favorite players. But that's where we're going
28:09
with this. But with with the the Knicks
28:11
game, the match up with them Jason Tatum 23.16 RPGs of
28:16
course, averaging 6 points. But like you said, it was a
28:19
three-point frenzy. These these teams were neck and
28:21
neck rebounds 59% for the Celtics, 49% for the Knicks and
28:28
it was Nick and Nick would assist 1819% one O 5, one O 8 is
28:33
what it came down to. Also Sam Hauser was out there
28:36
reserve he was out as well. So they depending on him, but
28:40
we'll see tonight at 8:00 this matchup, excuse me, not 8
28:44
o'clock 7:30 tonight, 7:00 tonight.
28:46
We'll see what what matchup it is.
28:48
I want to make a joke real quick.
28:50
We talked about Wilt Chamberlain only missing 13 minutes and then
28:54
and of one season of play. I'm surprised he had that much
28:57
time with all the ladies he was so popular with.
28:59
You know, he wrote in his book about all these ladies he's been
29:02
with, so. He could have been making up a
29:05
good amount of it too, but I guess that was it.
29:09
Sold a lot of books. Telling.
29:11
The truth I don't know. Who knows?
29:14
Who knows? Let's go over to.
29:15
The West, but the but players used to log a ton of ton of
29:21
minutes, Yeah, ton of minutes. You know the mountain NBA
29:25
players, they're clueless what's going on.
29:28
For example, Erica Russell Westbrook, who's who's playing
29:31
well lately for Denver, but Russell Westbrook was
29:35
complaining because at the end of the game, right before the
29:38
buzzer, a play on another team with the game decided, threw up
29:43
a shot, not a dunk in someone's face, just threw up a shot, 321.
29:48
And he shot the ball and Russell Westbrook was ready to fight.
29:52
And he was talking about old school, you know, like old
29:56
school doesn't do old school. Used to do that all the time.
30:00
I used to take that shot all the time.
30:03
It's, you know, the modern players are so sensitive.
30:07
They don't understand the way the game was played.
30:10
They don't understand the tradition.
30:13
You know, they're kind of in their own, you know, own world
30:15
to a large degree. But with that said, Russell.
30:18
Russell Westbrook is supplied A tremendous spark, you know, to
30:23
Denver, but he's an on and off player.
30:26
I mean, he could come up with a terrible game the next game and
30:29
a great game, but he gives the team a lot of energy and he
30:33
needs. And I know I've been somewhat
30:35
critical of him, but he's, you know, he's going to be a future
30:39
Hall of Fame and I would have no objection to that.
30:43
Yeah, you mentioned and I mean we we say this in every sport,
30:46
Jack, seriously, like they just don't play the games of any
30:50
sport. Like how I grew up, how you grew
30:54
up, how we're used to seeing as fans.
30:56
It's just it's it's become almost non contact in so many
31:00
instances. Then it removes the the thrill
31:02
of the game, the competition of the game, the competitiveness.
31:06
It just removes so much of the excitement if.
31:08
You're no, it doesn't remove the excitement.
31:12
It doesn't feel to be exciting that.
31:14
It's just if you can't rumble it up, Jack, like we used to see
31:18
Kareem Abdul Jabbar. I watched those guys growing up.
31:22
If we can't see that, we can't see Iran artist clear the
31:25
stands. I mean, that was a little bit
31:28
above from the Pacers back in the day.
31:30
I want to see that. I don't want to see all these
31:33
come by y'all moments. Let's just you take a shot.
31:35
You take a shot and we just dab it up after the game.
31:38
I want to see some real physical action, Jack.
31:42
Well, you don't have basketball at its finest plays like the
31:46
pick and roll. I mean, sometimes teams execute
31:50
good passes, but it's like a run and gun league up the court,
31:54
shoot like fastest, same thing. They're like you're like robots
31:58
in a way, you know, just shooting the ball.
32:01
And, and that's why when we put together an international team
32:06
to play some of these teams in Europe, who you will, I think
32:11
we'd be much more talented then they know how to play as a team
32:16
to the United States. Even when we win tournaments,
32:20
Olympics, we're always troubled. We're always pushed.
32:23
They're always close, tough games because those teams
32:28
overseas know how to know how to play as a team, you know, know
32:33
how to execute. And here we're just up and down
32:36
the court taking 3 point shots and you know, it's what it is.
32:41
But I, I, but, you know, I don't really care to talk too much
32:46
about philosophy because it'll kind of drive us crazy and bores
32:50
the heck out of me. Yeah, let's.
32:52
We could have boring the heck out of us.
32:54
Let's not really, but kind of really let's let's switch
32:58
trajections here to this OKC Thunder.
33:01
Now they had homecourt advantage throughout most of the playoffs.
33:05
But on Monday night, they failed to take advantage of that, you
33:10
know, homecourt advantage because they were downed by the
33:13
Denver Nuggets, who with their new coach at the him after all
33:16
the little mayhem with them and game one of the Western
33:19
Conference semifinals 121 to 119.
33:23
The the problem here, Jack, is during their series opener,
33:28
their outcome was influenced by this one bad decision or at
33:33
least I'll say questionable decision.
33:36
They intentionally filed the Thunder blew this game.
33:41
I don't know when player I don't understand this this analogy of
33:44
intentionally filing with few seconds left. 11 seconds left in
33:49
the game and they are up by three points, Jack.
33:53
Right after dunk by Shai Jalois, Alexander, they, they, they get
33:58
Nicola Jochik, he's out on the sidelines.
34:00
Of course, no timeouts in their pocket.
34:03
They opted to foul in an effort to quote, play it safe to avoid
34:09
an opportunity for Denver to tie up the game.
34:11
And it was detrimental Jack. It's a you make a great point,
34:16
Sonya. A classic case of over coaching,
34:20
trying to analyze everything, like with a fine comb.
34:23
Well, if we do this, we do that. Just play the Dawn game.
34:28
You up three points, OK, three points, the worst that's
34:32
logically going to happen that Denver would tie it up.
34:36
You're still at home, you still have the advantage and overtime,
34:41
and I can understand the move being made.
34:44
I'm not going to say it's ridiculous, whatever, but you
34:47
follow them, they hit their shots and now you're up only one
34:52
point. Now they follow you, they follow
34:55
you and you make only one out of the two and they now where were
34:59
you at? Now you can't follow them.
35:01
The next time they still have a few seconds left and they hit a
35:05
shot and it's it's over like that.
35:09
It's over like that. And you could say Denver stole
35:13
the game and you could say, OK, he gave the game away.
35:18
And once again, what did we say? What did we say in the beginning
35:23
of the show? The NBA is about closing games
35:26
out. And we've been seeing it all
35:29
series. I mean, I think I would rather
35:31
get a butt whipping the way the Timberwolves got them to give
35:36
the games away. Cleveland gives the game away at
35:39
the end. I mean, Denver gives you know, I
35:42
mean OKC gives the game away to Denver at the end of the game.
35:47
close the dawn game out. You you don't don't overanalyze
35:52
it that much. I.
35:54
Mean. Then we see it.
35:55
We see it with clocks running down too.
35:57
Sonia, another thing that drives me crazy.
36:01
At the end of any period, the team has the ball.
36:06
Supposedly for the last shot. They have it with 20 seconds
36:09
left. Rather than take a good shot,
36:13
try to create something on offense.
36:16
They're dribbling the seconds away and they rarely get a good
36:20
shot off. Rarely.
36:22
Why waste that time? What are you scared that the
36:26
other team's going to get the ball back?
36:28
Try to get a good shot yourself, and if and if you don't make it,
36:33
so be it. Then get back on defense.
36:37
I I just don't understand the workings sometimes.
36:40
Yeah, I mean, they had their powerhouse out there.
36:43
Of course they had Jamal Murray, Russell Westbrook, Christian
36:46
Braun, Payton Watson and Aaron Gordon.
36:48
I mean, those guys were already in place by doing this with so
36:52
much time left on the clock, like people look at 11 seconds
36:55
like it's not a lot. It really is that when you're
36:57
talking about a game, especially of a high, high-powered offense
37:02
and and definitely a high-powered defense on both
37:04
sides of the ball and leaving it out there.
37:07
They allowed them to bring in their star, Denver star who had
37:11
already had 42 points and 22 rebounds.
37:14
So he was already playing at a high velocity the entire game.
37:17
This left that opening out there for Denver to be able to take
37:20
this one away. So I don't know, like you said,
37:23
Jack, if you want to look at it as a steal or not.
37:25
We don't know what would have happened if they hadn't fought.
37:27
Like you said, it was already a close game.
37:29
It could have been tied and gone overtime regardless, but these
37:33
two teams will be going at it again and people are desperately
37:37
safe. And that catch Coach Caruso's
37:40
actions. Some people are saying they were
37:42
just premature. Some people are saying it was
37:44
the right way to go. But now you've given up this
37:47
game in a final series that now you're down one game.
37:51
I don't know if that's pretty smart or not.
37:54
Well, like I said, he didn't want to give them for the
37:57
opportunity to tie the game and take a three-point shot, but
38:02
there was an it just didn't work.
38:04
There was enough time left to Denver to get the ball again.
38:09
I mean, you fouled them, then they're going to file you right
38:12
back. I mean, they're going to hit
38:14
their two foul shots, which they did.
38:17
They made it 3 points down to one point.
38:19
They quickly filed OK C as soon as OK C got the ball.
38:23
So now you're turning it into a game of foul shots if you're OK.
38:28
C. Saying, oh, we're going to match
38:31
your amount of foul shots so you can't come back.
38:34
But the team ahead shouldn't be doing that.
38:37
The team behind should be fouling and thinking a map, you
38:42
know, getting the better the foul shooting, you know, drama
38:46
at the end of the game to open the door to give them a chance
38:50
to come back. You know, I think OK C will be
38:53
OK. I think they lost the game.
38:55
They've had a great season. I look for them to win Game 2
39:00
decisively against Denver. I don't think this will be as
39:03
much of A down and and same thing with the Celtics.
39:07
I wouldn't say OK, she's in trouble right now.
39:10
I really wouldn't. It's one game.
39:12
Every game is important. Four out of seven, I don't like
39:15
to hear, oh, there's a lot of time.
39:16
It's only one game, even though I said that myself, but it's
39:21
best four out of seven. If OK C takes care business in
39:25
Game 2, they should be. I think they'll be fine going
39:29
forward. But then what's got the
39:31
pedigree? Aaron Gordon's been hitting the
39:34
big shots. Murray Jokic should know.
39:37
Arguably the best player in the game.
39:40
Yeah. And I, I like how and I, I mean
39:42
we see this all the time. I mean, is it a strategy, Jack,
39:45
that when teams do foul, they try to maybe pinpoint somebody
39:50
that is not that good at free throws because Sheton is both of
39:54
his free throws. And so people have, you know,
39:56
kind of said, Oh, my gosh, that may be an issue as well.
40:01
Yeah, I yeah, you do. But again, over coaching, they
40:05
should have just tried to cut off the lanes with the
40:07
three-point shot. But yeah, it's done.
40:11
It's done with OKC. And again, the coaching move by
40:16
them, I wouldn't say it's ridiculous.
40:18
So I wouldn't even say it's terrible.
40:22
It was just a question. I thought of over coaching.
40:24
Sometimes you think things out like you overanalyze things a
40:28
little too much. Up three points, the worst
40:32
that's going to happen is Denver's going to tie.
40:35
You know, you make that move if, let's say, Alexander was out of
40:39
the game. And you're.
40:41
Thinking to yourself, if we go into overtime, we could be in
40:45
some real trouble. A number guys in foul trouble
40:49
for OK C you're thinking we can't afford to go into
40:53
overtime, we've got to end this game now.
40:56
I could understand it more, but that wasn't the case.
40:59
Yeah, definitely not the case, but it's like you said, they
41:02
have an opportunity to redeem themselves or you can't really
41:05
redeem that game, but you can go forward and learn from it so.
41:08
You know, Sonja, Sonja, all four of the teams with homecourt
41:12
advantage lost in the opening round.
41:15
OKC in Minnesota in the West, Cleveland and Boston in the
41:21
East. I mean, what were the chances,
41:23
you know, that happening, Yeah. What were the chances?
41:29
Sometimes homecourt advantage can be disadvantage I guess.
41:32
You no, no, I every time I'd rather have homecourt advantage.
41:36
It is an advantage, but to a point, you know, to a point, you
41:41
know, years ago in the NBA, it used to have a tremendous impact
41:47
and helping A-Team tremendous. Now, in the modern age, you
41:52
know, not so much so. I blame the fans.
41:55
The fans are supposed to be the element that helps you win that
41:59
game. And and maybe the fans were less
42:01
than engaging, Jack. Maybe cheer louder, be loud, be
42:09
screaming like take that stadium, take that court, take
42:13
that arena and light it on fire. They have to stay engaged and
42:18
it's really hard when your team is down.
42:20
But these close games, there's no excuse why these fans should
42:23
not have been engaged. Well, home grin missed the key
42:26
foul shot for OK see at the end and.
42:31
Went on 2/2 free throws he missed.
42:35
Yeah, right, right. Yeah.
42:38
So we'll see because these teams will be matching up again soon.
42:41
Jack, we got some breaking NFL news.
42:44
Let's switch gears to some football.
42:46
The Pittsburgh Steelers are trading George Pickens to the
42:49
Cowboys. And in exchange for 2026 third
42:52
round pick and the pick swaps again in 2027, they're gonna be
42:56
picked swapping their picks in after a month of speculation,
42:59
according to CBS and Sports Illustrated, it's breaking news
43:02
about two hours ago. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in
43:05
fact trading veteran wide receiver George Pickens, sending
43:09
him to the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas will send a 2026 third
43:13
round pick and a 2027 fifth round of the Pittsburgh, while
43:17
the Steelers will also include a 2027 sixth round pick.
43:21
Now they've the Cowboys have been interested in him since the
43:25
2025 draft, but nothing really has been happening.
43:29
Now since everybody saw they didn't select a wide out during
43:32
the draft, they have gotten their former 1000 yard receiver
43:37
who was entering the final final year of his rookie contract.
43:42
You know, this is really interesting because the Aaron
43:45
Rodgers dramas going on thinking of quarterbacking the Pittsburgh
43:51
Steelers. That's one less big weapon.
43:54
But I'm going to tell you something.
43:55
If I'm Pittsburgh, you can look at things and say what value am
44:01
I getting back? I look at it another way.
44:03
I don't care how good a receiver is.
44:06
I'm good riddance. I mean, I some players you can't
44:10
deal with after a while. George Pickens would keep having
44:14
these hissy bits and it would have to be a distraction to
44:18
coach Mike Tomlin after a while. I mean, some players, you know,
44:23
they just carry a lot of baggage.
44:26
And George Pickens, you know, maybe he'll drive at Dallas.
44:31
Think of Dallas history with these trouble receivers.
44:37
Jerry Jones always regretted listening to his football people
44:42
and not drafting Randy Moss. He wanted to draft Randy Moss,
44:46
Jerry, but it's people that, Nah, Moss is a troublemaker.
44:50
And Moss came in and he was, you know, he was loud, but he was a
44:53
good guy with the Vikings. All in all, I don't think he was
44:57
he was very productive. Then he gets Dez Bryant, who's
45:01
kind of a little, I don't want to say a loose cannon, but a bit
45:05
of a personality. They moved on from OK
45:09
afterwards. Actually, blackballed is Bryant.
45:11
They the word is they blackballed him.
45:13
He never got a job again. He got picked up by the New
45:15
Orleans Saints and during the practice, during the practice
45:18
season, he tore his Achilles or something with his fibula and
45:22
his career was over. You never heard of him again,
45:25
Jack. They came out and said, you
45:33
know, he was a troublemaker in the locker room.
45:35
He did. It's all fair to say that if you
45:40
have a great talent and you're giving him away for less than
45:45
market value, there's obviously a reason for it.
45:48
Unless it's a cap situation, you know, you have to get move
45:53
someone off them, create room on the salary cap.
45:57
But and then they have Terrell owns the Cowboys and they had to
46:01
get rid of them. And Steven Jones said, you know,
46:04
he's not a bad person, He's OK, Just can't help himself, you
46:09
know, and this is my. Targeting them.
46:12
Look how Dad Bryant was saying that.
46:14
That wasn't even targeting him anymore.
46:16
Like it was. Clearly, exactly.
46:20
And, and if I'm a quarterback, if I'm a true leader, and so at
46:24
one of my receivers is complaining to me in the huddle,
46:28
basically I have just two words from shut up.
46:31
And I make it clear and I let everyone know in the huddle, you
46:35
open up your mouth, you're not seeing that ball.
46:37
I don't care what the culture is called.
46:39
So just shut your mouth and get over there.
46:41
I understand. I make it clear if I'm the
46:44
quarterback, it's my huddle. And listen, there's some
46:48
speculation. I I can't say it's confirmed.
46:51
I don't know whether it's true that the Bills moved on from
46:55
Stephen Diggs because Josh Allen wasn't crazy about him.
47:02
Josh Allen is the unquestioned leader of the Buffalo Bills, OK.
47:07
And he wasn't going to put up with it.
47:09
You know, a quarterback should own the huddle.
47:11
If the quarterback doesn't own the huddle, then he's not being
47:14
a can't be a leader. Everyone has to know who's in
47:18
charge of the huddle. Now, if you have a well
47:21
respected receiver like a Jerry Rice type, he's not going to
47:26
harass the quarterback in the huddle.
47:28
He's going to be quiet during the times and maybe speak to the
47:31
quarterback on the side of during the week at practice, try
47:36
to work, work it out. But what what did the Steelers
47:39
get returned? The third round draft choice
47:42
that's got value and they're going to swap a fifth in the
47:45
6th, you know, a little bit of value and you said something
47:49
about 2027. Yeah, you know, so they did get
47:56
some value back. The Washington Commanders only
48:03
had to give up a fifth round draft choice.
48:05
That's all the Niners got for Debo Samuel to.
48:09
Do the. To do the comparison, but George
48:13
Pickens going to Dallas, fresh start, he's going to have the
48:20
ball thrown to him a lot because let's be honest about it.
48:25
You know, they've got CD Lamb in the league, receiver, They're
48:28
adding George Pickens. The Cowboys need a transfusion
48:33
badly. They need to take a risk because
48:37
Philadelphia is clearly the favorite in that division.
48:40
The Washington Commanders got to the NFC Championship game.
48:45
They were 12:00 and 5:00 last year.
48:47
The Commanders, even if the Commanders take a step back,
48:51
it's not going to be a drastic step back, you know, and the
48:54
Giants, if you know, apparently improved.
48:58
I mean, a defense, you know, getting actual Carter, other
49:02
moves they made. The Giants had a good draft and
49:08
the Cowboys could be looking at last place here.
49:11
Unless, you know, unless last year was just one of those off
49:16
years and they could get back to the form they had before.
49:19
But if George Pickens could come up big, him and CD Lamb
49:23
together, it gives them a joke. But who the Cowboys going to
49:26
have to run the ball? I mean, they're saying with with
49:29
Pickens being there that they basically with CD Lamb, they're
49:34
predicting that this is what Adams are saying.
49:36
This is going to be their best receiving duo Jack since the 90s
49:40
with Michael Urban and Alvin Harper, which led the Cowboys to
49:43
back-to-back Super Bowls. Now, I don't want to say that
49:46
because Cowboy fans are going to get lit up and excited about it,
49:49
but this is a comparison they're giving with Pickens and Lamb
49:54
with the potential potential if, if Pickens could keep his
49:58
emotions in check, he could be a star leader on that offense and
50:03
I don't know about them. Please don't use the word leader
50:07
if if any thought of Pickens being a leader not.
50:12
Him could lead the offense He misunderstood.
50:19
Could lead the offense, Could lead the offense not.
50:22
Prescott has to lead the offense.
50:26
CD Lamb's been a real team player and all fairness to him.
50:30
So, you know, call him a leader on offense if you want, fine.
50:36
No, they don't. They had Brandon Cooks, Amari
50:40
Cooper and CD Lamb a couple of years ago.
50:44
That was a big team, but. I don't want to hear since the
50:47
90s. A couple of years ago, they were
50:49
made as well-rounded as they are now, if not a little better
50:54
because they had the same CD Lam.
50:56
And you know, by getting Pickens, he can be a high impact
50:59
receiver, He can be a high impact receiver.
51:02
But what's going to happen when he's upset when the ball's not
51:05
being thrown to him and he's having a hissy fit on the
51:08
sideline? How tough is Brian
51:11
Schottenheimer the new coach? For the.
51:14
Dealing with them I I don't know I don't know, but they they need
51:20
a running back, you know in the worst way of running back as
51:23
some substance and I I just don't you know and they also was
51:30
Zach Martin their Great Hall of fame God to be I I just don't
51:35
know what Dallas but. Is.
51:38
It worth the listen? Is it worth the gamble for
51:41
Dallas yet? So is it a good deal for Dallas?
51:45
Yeah, 'cause it's worth the gamble.
51:47
Is it a good deal for Pittsburgh?
51:49
Yeah, because you're getting rid of a pain in the butt and
51:52
pickings who might not be a pain in the butt at Dallas.
51:55
You hope he's not. Yeah, you you hope he's not, but
51:59
this gives Dallas at least their fan base something to talk
52:02
about. They gave away quite a bit to
52:06
get this guy. Not quite a third round draft
52:09
choice. They gave up something of value
52:11
and they flap a flip flop. They gave up a 5th to get a 6th.
52:15
So that's kind of marginal in the way.
52:18
But it's good for the Dallas fan base because they've been
52:21
complaining. What have we been doing?
52:24
You know, we're not making enough moves.
52:26
And this is a move of substance. You know, it's one move there,
52:31
but they could look at it. They could look at it that they
52:35
have two elite receivers who they have two receivers, Lamb
52:40
and Pickens can compare to any other two in the NFL.
52:45
So in that sense, you know, it's being a passing league.
52:48
It gives the Dallas Cowboy fans, you know, a little more of a
52:51
glimmer hope. But they're in a tough division.
52:54
They are in the tough division. I don't.
52:57
I don't see it making much difference, at least not this
53:00
first year. But who knows.
53:01
Like you said, the Eagles are the clear leaders of that
53:03
division. The Giants did some stuff.
53:05
Course they got Brian Burns from the Panthers, the edge rusher
53:08
the previous season. Maybe this to get what they did
53:10
in their draft this year, that'll give them something to
53:13
do with Brian Burns that they can accentuate him to that team
53:16
as well. Giants are going to struggle on
53:19
offense to to, if not a large degree, at least a moderate
53:24
degree. They're going to struggle, OK
53:27
defensively is where they might make their mark.
53:29
If everyone stays healthy, they're going to have a very
53:32
good defensive unit that's going to keep them in games.
53:34
I look for Abdul Carter to come and have, you know, an
53:38
outstanding rookie year. Yeah, definitely.
53:41
So, OK, Jack, I'm going to strike this match and watch the
53:45
fire burn when I drop this next one on you because this is going
53:48
to take us to the end of a show. We have like 5 minutes to
53:51
discuss this. I cannot.
53:54
And I know you're going to take it all.
53:55
So I'm going to sit back after I strike this match.
53:59
A Georgia residents, an anonymous Georgia residents.
54:04
I hate to even bring this up. The Chador Sanders saga
54:07
continues. He is a Chador Sanders fan and
54:10
he has sued the NFL for $100 million for Shadours shocking
54:17
draft slide. He's alleging racial
54:20
discrimination and basically saying that they deliberately
54:23
tanked his draft stock. And it's my question is, is this
54:28
dude beside himself? Does he who is this lawyer that
54:31
filed this first of all, and like to take on a case of such a
54:36
magnitude and to say this about this draft slide when the stats
54:41
were already out. The decision door does lack arm
54:43
strength and it just was not that much of A competitive
54:46
quarterback drafting but $100 million.
54:49
Jack OK, I'm quiet. I'm going to let you have.
54:52
It what what what colors Cam Ward.
54:55
I think he's black. What I mean the year before, I
55:00
mean, I'm, I'm just saying, you know, it's ridiculous.
55:05
It's I hate dignifying if you brought it up so I'm kind of
55:12
you. You think I could go off 5
55:14
minutes? Everybody's talking about it.
55:17
Everybody's talking about some idiot.
55:19
Putting something out there ensuing, I mean who?
55:24
Has no $100 million he has. No chance of winning his case.
55:29
And if you're a Shaddor Sanders fan, stop it.
55:34
You know who you're hurting. You're hurting Shaddor Sanders,
55:38
but Shaddor Stand, this is doing all the right things.
55:41
He's coming to camp as a rookie. He's going to try to come as a
55:44
good guy. He's going to be friendly.
55:47
He's not going to be coming himself as a prima Donna.
55:51
And but with all this outside noise, I mean, Shaddor Stand,
55:57
this is going to try to ignore it and people aren't going to
56:01
need it. I mean, his teammates aren't
56:03
going to need it. It is going to create a
56:05
distraction. But I'm going to tell you this,
56:07
this is going to be the Testonia.
56:10
If the Cleveland Browns accept an invitation to Hard Knocks,
56:15
then they're buying into the Should go Sanders drama because
56:19
the only reason Cleveland would be invited to Hard Knocks was
56:23
because of Shaddor standards. And you better believe Hard
56:26
Knocks wants the Cleveland Browns.
56:28
They want to focus on Shaddor. They're allowing the focus on
56:33
Shaddor. And you know, and what can
56:36
Shaddor do? He will come into the locker
56:38
room. He's going to try to act as a
56:40
leader to, you know, the players there, but he all that'd be too
56:46
outgoing. He's a fifth round draft choice
56:48
in that sense. And you know, him falling in the
56:53
draft. I mean, we were puzzled.
56:55
It happened as much as we did, But let's be honest, it was the
56:58
Dion effect. It was all the extracurriculous
57:02
stuff that went on and, you know, and I don't like to
57:07
dignify, you know, the no, we. Didn't how?
57:10
Why is the person getting the money?
57:12
Should door should get the money?
57:14
I mean whatever they even should door cut or what?
57:18
This is hilarious. This is the This is the exact
57:21
wording of the lawsuit that the NF LS actions and the
57:25
dissemination of slanderous statements have caused severe
57:28
emotional distress and trauma to the plaintiff resulted in
57:32
frustration, disappointment, and psychological harm as a fan.
57:38
Yeah, what was that? You know, let's one of Quinn
57:42
Lewis fans too. He went past the door.
57:45
He went in the seventh round and Quinn Lewis agent said the
57:50
quarterback of Texas who held off Arch Manning for a couple of
57:53
years. He's had a ton of success,
57:57
success in college, went to the Final Four this year in the
58:00
College playoffs, according to Quinn Lewis agent.
58:04
Team said they didn't pass, they passed on Quinn yours because he
58:09
was too good to be carrying a clipboard.
58:12
You know, they didn't really want to take him.
58:14
He's too big a name to just be a backup the whole time.
58:19
You know, I mean, it happens in the NFLI mean the slide which
58:23
adore Sam this fifth round. No one, no one could see that
58:26
coming that. Way yeah, yeah, but I but I'm
58:31
like, how is it? How is it you as a fan are so
58:35
bothered by this of a college player coming into the league
58:40
that you would sue for emotional distress?
58:43
This is crazy. They're not bothered, but
58:45
they're not bothered. So you don't understand, these
58:48
social media idiots are just want to get attention.
58:52
They want to get a bang out of it that that's all it is.
58:56
That's. All that goes and he got what he
59:00
wanted. He got all this attention.
59:03
No chance of collecting anything in this lawsuit.
59:07
He'll be revealed at some point. You know what I would, you know
59:11
what I would like to see. You know what I would love to
59:14
see? Sonia in a in a sense sometimes
59:18
the NFL counter suing and using all their wealth and resources
59:25
to bring this guy out who maybe has very little money in his
59:30
name and force him to hire attorneys and this and that and
59:35
try to sue him for defamation. OK.
59:39
I mean, whatever. Weed em out, weed em out Jack.
59:42
It's been a great show as always.
59:44
I knew that would get your attention.
59:45
We thank everybody for the likes, loves and views.
59:48
Jack and I will see you again on Friday morning same time and we
59:51
got a lot of shows throughout today.
59:52
Stay tuned for national streaming sports.
59:55
Good day everybody.
