2:25
Rory McIlroy won the 2026 Masters, becoming just the 4th
2:31
golfer ever to win back-to-back titles, joining Jack Nicholas,
2:36
Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods. Rory set a Masters record for
2:41
the largest 36 hole lead with a total of -12 after the first 2-2
2:49
days and had a six shot lead. He struggled during round three,
2:55
shooting A plus one overall and was tied for the lead with
3:01
Cameron Young at a -. 1111 and only was one stroke ahead of Sam
3:07
Burns. He also had two bogeys in the
3:11
1st 6 for the first six holes of the final day and Young had a 2
3:18
stroke lead until he bogey twice.
3:21
Tyrell Hatton, Justin Rose and Russell Henley were also in the
3:28
running with McElroy for a a lot of the the first round final
3:33
round and Scotty Scheffler had an impressive last day shooting
3:37
a -, 4 when he was previously in 6th place.
3:42
McElroy had a back-to-back birdie on holes 12 and 13 and
3:48
did just enough to hold off a late surge from Scheffler who
3:53
finished at a -, 11. McElroy.
3:55
McElroy now ties Nick Faldo with his sixth major championship,
4:01
tied for the most by a European player in modern in the modern
4:07
era. Now McElroy, it took him a
4:09
little while to develop into the player he became.
4:11
When he came, when he was coming up as a golfer, he couldn't win
4:15
one of these big majors. It was a big problem for him.
4:19
And yet he had to contend with an older Tiger Woods, a Phil
4:22
Mickelson and and all these different transitional players.
4:25
Rose has really become a star and and there there are a lot of
4:29
great golfers. Sheffly, we we watched Xander
4:33
Sheffly all all year play very good golf.
4:37
He is he's been one of the better American golfers in the
4:42
in, in, you know, in the on the tour.
4:44
I'm sorry, I'm trying to figure out my words here.
4:46
And Cameron Young, he played very, very well throughout round
4:50
3. And, and again, these guys are
4:53
going to come and they're going to go.
4:54
And that's what's great about these big these, the Masters,
4:58
the US Open, all these big tournaments, especially when
5:01
you're trying to win the Masters title.
5:04
What stands out to me about Rory McIlroy is he knew that he was
5:09
being haunted. He was.
5:11
He won the Masters degree, Masters championship last year
5:16
and now he was moving into this tournament.
5:17
A lot of people had him as a favorite.
5:20
We all know Rose and Scheffler. Scheffler has been one of the
5:23
better golfers, I believe, the best golfer in the world.
5:27
And as he's come out and say that golf is not as important
5:30
than his family as Aaron Rodgers is taking shots at Scheffler,
5:34
he's pretty damn good because it doesn't matter what tournament
5:36
it is and how impressive the other guys are, he's been just
5:40
as impressive. Think about this.
5:42
This guy is so good at this game.
5:46
Think about this. How many championships, how many
5:49
titles has Scheffler dominated in over the last couple of
5:53
years? He's been not only the face of
5:56
American golf, he's taking over for a guy, a champion in Tiger
6:01
Woods. Tiger Woods has been one of the
6:02
best golfers in the world and an American and they're trying to
6:07
find the next guy, the next superstar.
6:09
Well, ladies and gentlemen, they finally found it.
6:12
And I, I think Scheffler stands for not just a superstar golfer,
6:16
a guy that not, I mean, he's been in problem.
6:19
He has had problems with the law.
6:21
He's we've seen some of the video on and off the golf course
6:25
on some of the things that he said and he's taken and he's
6:28
attacked other players, other superstars from their
6:31
respectable sports. I love what Scheffler stands for
6:35
because he doesn't give a crap. He's going to come out there,
6:37
he's going to play hard and that I'd say, I'd say that about Rory
6:40
McIlroy. For years they were wondering
6:43
who he was dating. What you know who.
6:46
And and again, Rory McIlroy now is married.
6:49
He's got kids, he's got a life. But before he got married before
6:53
and and Rory McIlroy at some points of his career, I thought
6:56
he was going to retire. I thought he was going to walk
6:58
away from the game but slowly but surely has has become the
7:02
superstar European player that we all thought he was going to
7:05
become. He, he's been in just in very,
7:07
very impressive. And I, I just, I am, I am
7:11
surprised that Rory McIlroy didn't and hasn't gotten the
7:16
respect after the last couple of years in his dominance winning
7:20
majors like this. Yeah, it's one of those things
7:22
where the Masters I think hindered him from being thought
7:25
of in that same light with the other thing, because he had so
7:27
much of A drought. He went with all all three of
7:30
the other majors going on for a long time.
7:32
He won a couple of majors right away, kind of started fast like
7:35
you saw with Jordan Spieth and and Brooks Cap Gun, some of
7:39
these other younger golfers that and he was steady, but only one
7:43
certain majors. And I think now you're looking
7:45
at the Masters, him getting comfortable with that kind of
7:47
thing. You saw him be able to fend off
7:49
a lot of those younger guys as a result, and there were a lot of
7:52
good young ones in this tournament.
7:53
You talk about Burns, you talk about Cameron Young.
7:54
Cameron Young had one of the best third rounds on that day to
7:57
tie McElroy. McElroy may have stumbled a bit,
7:59
but he was due to level out at some point.
8:01
A lot of these guys at the Augusta course especially,
8:04
you're due to level out. And I think you look at the case
8:08
of McElroy having that kind of thing last year when he stumbled
8:11
down the stretch last year, Justin Rose, him and him and
8:14
McElroy went for the playoff at the end of the year last year.
8:17
And it was McElroy that was stumbling up until I think Rose
8:19
had a bogey. And I think that's where you had
8:22
that adversity sense. Scheffler, that was insane that
8:25
final day, a -, 4 and some of those very difficult pots as it
8:28
was, he was right there with him the whole way.
8:31
And I think with Mcelroy's case, he just was able to do enough
8:35
with not having to have a bogey until the end.
8:37
And that's makes a big difference with the adversity
8:39
wise. And you're right now being up
8:41
there, 6 European, six titles for a European guy tie for the
8:44
most in history. He definitely has to be up there
8:45
with those greats. Obviously not the greatest ever,
8:47
like Nicholas or Tiger Woods or anything like that, but he's
8:50
definitely in that next year. Yeah, I think as I had mentioned
8:55
earlier, I want to bring to the attention to the audience that I
9:00
actually called Ward to actually win this.
9:02
He he actually went out, had a crazy experience in regards to
9:08
how he actually played on that that last day and whatnot.
9:10
So I think Roy is pretty, he's the modern day kind of Michael,
9:15
modern day goat now, you know, I mean, I obviously he hadn't won
9:18
since 2014 and but I think he has stamped his legacy with this
9:22
master win. I think he went in kind of
9:26
overwhelm and fatigue, you know, for the past, what, 10 years or
9:29
so, it's been kind of, you know, difficult for him.
9:31
You've been getting there, but it just haven't been able to
9:33
cross that edge. And they sealed the deal.
9:35
And you can see it on that last put, as we show right here.
9:38
It's just was a release of, you know, all that he'd been through
9:41
and all that physical, mental wear and tear that's being on
9:45
this paint that it comes with. Plant in the master.
9:47
I will say something when you look at that green jacket and
9:51
everybody, if you watched Happy Gilmore, it was all about the
9:54
gold jacket because they tried to make fun of the Masters and
9:57
it's all about the jacket. How many jackets do you have?
10:00
It's pretty impressive because the, the, who gets the trophy
10:05
Now, how do they hand out the trophy?
10:07
The, the champion the year before is supposed to hand the
10:10
champion this year, the trophy and the jacket.
10:13
Well, nobody handed him the trophy and nobody really should
10:16
hand them the jacket because he won last year and it's very
10:20
impressive. There's only three players
10:22
besides him that's ever done it and Tiger Woods is one of them.
10:26
Nicholas is the other. These arguably are the 2
10:29
greatest golfers of all time. It's, it's really, really
10:32
impressive. And he, he's one of, you know,
10:36
and everybody thought Rory McIlroy was going to be that
10:38
guy, But when he came into the PGA, there was a lot of
10:42
questions. He really didn't develop.
10:43
He had to, how many clubs did he have to change?
10:45
There were so many things that he have to do.
10:48
And and then everybody was worried about what who he was
10:50
dating and, and, and it was that's what's that's the problem
10:54
right now in professional sports is when you're when you become
10:57
such a big face in the PGA and European golf, just like over
11:02
there overseas, those soccer players are European football
11:05
players, Messi and Ronaldo and Neymar.
11:08
Everybody wants to know what there's those guys are going and
11:11
what team they're going to be playing for in the future,
11:14
because those guys are world renowned superstars, faces of
11:18
the that sport. When you look at Rory McIlroy,
11:20
how many foreign European players could say they're as big
11:25
as Rory McIlroy? And the answer is not many.
11:28
I mean, Rose is he's a European player.
11:31
There's right on my Roses is a European player.
11:34
Yeah. So he's a European player.
11:35
Thank you, Speedy telling me where he's a European player.
11:39
So when when you have European players that are trying to
11:42
compete with those American players and and take the
11:45
spotlight away from guys like Scheffler, who by the way,
11:47
doesn't want the spotlight. He already came out and said I
11:51
don't need the spotlight to play this game, this And he pretty
11:54
much said this game comes easy to me.
11:56
Family life is harder than this game.
11:58
And that's very interesting when you see a player of that
12:01
magnitude, a guy that makes the he makes the game so easy to
12:05
watch. And you have guys like Rory
12:08
McIlroy that's he's he loves the game more than more than
12:12
anything in the world. Rory McIlroy is he's he lives on
12:17
the the course he lives. He probably sleeps with his golf
12:20
clubs. I mean.
12:22
He's the standard, yeah. He's the.
12:23
Standard for European golf. I mean, it's, it's very, very
12:27
impressive what he has done. You know what I saw?
12:29
I watched most of that last round, Errol, I usually don't
12:32
catch like the whole round, but it was real fascinating because
12:34
Rory lost the lead early. He had the tie of the lead and
12:37
he started off a little slow. Rose actually took the lead for
12:40
a little bit. And Rose was would have been the
12:42
second oldest guy ever to win if he did at 45.
12:46
So that was that was an interesting storyline for a
12:48
little bit. And Scheffler, Scheffler wasn't
12:50
even close in the standings for most of the day.
12:53
He just plays that. And you said it, Errol, like
12:56
that Workman, like, you know, he just goes out his business.
12:59
He was a little bit lower. So he got on the course ahead of
13:01
the last group. So it actually benefited his
13:03
style play where he didn't have that attention of being in that
13:06
last grouping. And he just got to play a very
13:09
quiet. It was a really quiet -4 type of
13:12
a round. And by the way, it fell, he just
13:15
ended up in second because everyone else was trying to
13:17
catch Rory and he just played it.
13:19
He didn't have to try to catch him.
13:20
He was just trying to be steady because he knew if he got into
13:23
the clubhouse, maybe he'd be able to get into a playoff.
13:25
But Chef. But Rory was in control.
13:28
By the time we got to like the 7th or 8th hole, he was in
13:30
control of that last round completely.
13:32
It was awesome to watch. Golf it, you have to be
13:34
consistent if you want to win. You got to go through four days
13:37
of grueling weather. I mean, we've seen Masters in in
13:41
in rain, it's wet, it's disgusting out.
13:44
You got to know the greens and we've seen guys have two really
13:48
good rounds and then the third round completely fall off and
13:50
they're horrible and that cost them a championship.
13:53
Rory has been as consistent, especially in this tournament,
13:58
since we've seen Tiger Woods do this.
14:00
I mean, it's, it's pretty incredible when you look at the
14:03
type of player that he has become and who did he look up to
14:06
when he came into the PGA? It was Tiger Woods.
14:08
Everybody looked up to Tiger Woods because of the type of
14:11
star he became a a world renowned superstar.
14:15
And, and, and to believe it or not, when you look at Tiger
14:18
Woods, Tiger Woods couldn't handle the cameras on him and
14:22
being the superstar. Why?
14:24
Because look at the things that he has dealt with over the last
14:26
couple of years, over the last 15 years.
14:29
And I would say this, Rory Mackel Roy has been up and down
14:33
when it comes to the media. He, we have seen some bad things
14:37
about Rory McIlroy handling the media and we've seen some great
14:40
things. The fact that he has
14:42
transitioned and, and, and it's helped him grow as a golfer.
14:45
Because most guys, when you're looked at as the king, the up
14:48
and coming superstar in Europe and going to be the face of
14:52
European golf and, and the PGA and you didn't really develop in
14:56
the 1st 10 years of your career. Really it took him like 8 or 9
14:59
years. It was this 9th or 10th year
15:02
where he started to play a high level of golf.
15:06
It's you were thought you would think that he was gonna walk
15:08
away from golf. I remember when he was, a lot of
15:10
people thought that he was gonna step away from the game of golf.
15:13
It was too stressful. He didn't want to deal with it.
15:16
It got him depressed, but I think marrying and and getting
15:20
locked in and his career and his life and started becoming a man,
15:24
he's been a completely different player on the golf course.
15:27
It's it's been very, very impressive.
15:29
You got to give him a lot of credit because a lot of people,
15:31
a lot of athletes maybe couldn't handle that pressure and really
15:35
couldn't transition into the player that Rory became.
15:38
Yeah, it was also hard to repeat too.
15:39
And a lot of different sports. You see this with Olympic sports
15:42
and unless you're like a best of the best, like you see a lot of
15:44
these cross country singer skiers or one of those distance
15:47
sports with track, you don't usually see a lot of those
15:50
Olympians repeat. And it's the same kind of
15:51
pressure with GG is the hardest burden on your mental health
15:55
more than anything else. You talk about sports psychology
15:57
over the years. I took a class of it in college.
15:59
Qi know you've probably had sports psychologists that have
16:01
mentioned this to you that it's a different if it's a different
16:04
case with an individual sport than a team sport.
16:05
Now you have to rally your teammates, obviously.
16:07
Q And I'm sure different ways to do it.
16:09
All three teams that you played for, but still in golf, you
16:13
don't have anyone like that outside of your caddy and your
16:14
rest of your support system. And that's what gives McElroy a
16:17
lot, a lot of credit, especially having the dotty, not Dodd, but
16:20
down game he had on the third round.
16:22
Yeah, you got to have, you got to be able to, you know, rally
16:24
yourself, as you said, and golf by yourself.
16:27
I mean, it can't can help you, but so much you still got to go
16:29
out there and swing the club. But it's definitely a total
16:32
different between that and a team game.
16:34
But now shout out to Roy, man. I think he did well.
16:37
They played very well and and I feel like, you know, the
16:41
difference between him and Tiger is I think Tiger more so
16:43
controlled the game when he had the lead and and, and he was
16:47
pretty much chasing him the whole while versus Roy where he
16:50
kind of, would, you know, end up making a couple mistakes here
16:53
and there that, you know, sometimes catches up with him.
16:56
So yeah, shout out to Roy for winning it back-to-back.
16:59
Very well. I think it's been done one time
17:01
there butt plug 4 times. It's been done four times. 3 * 3
17:07
times yeah, three times. He's the 4th.
17:11
He's the fourth player to do that.
17:13
Jack Nicklaus I, I remember it was Tiger Woods and who was the
17:17
other player, though? And Faldo.
17:18
Those are the only three players.
17:20
He's the fourth player to ever do it.
17:21
It's not easy to do. I, I, I remember when Tiger was
17:25
at the top of his game, he won all four majors, which in, in
17:28
one year, In one year, which I don't, if I'm not mistaken, I
17:32
don't think any player has ever done that before, which is very,
17:35
very impressive. And that's what he's remembered
17:37
as is is when he, when he was dominating at the top of his
17:40
game. Nobody can catch up to him.
17:43
Even Rory when he came into the PGA, they were all chasing him.
17:46
He was so far ahead of everybody else.
17:49
And we, we talk about all the great tournaments with him and
17:51
Phil Mickelson, Lefty, when they went back and forth and, and
17:54
when Lefty won, everybody was like, oh, he's better than
17:56
Tiger. But Tiger Woods was like like
17:58
500 points ahead of, you know, Phil McKesson.
18:01
So it sports is, is so unique because when you look at these
18:05
guys, when they, when they're young and they're up and coming
18:08
and they're so talented and they come up and they're not the,
18:11
the, the lead dog. They were the lead dog wherever
18:14
they were playing or their college or whatever, the playing
18:17
junior, junior, junior hockey or junior basketball, whatever the
18:21
hell they were doing, they were that dominant.
18:23
When you step with with the professionals, when you're
18:26
stepping with guys that are just as good as you or better than
18:29
you, it's a completely different ball game.
18:31
Think about it. Q When you look at you, what you
18:33
did in college football, you were one of the best pass
18:36
rushers in the country. You are one of the best.
18:39
I saw you on sports science. Everybody was looking at you as
18:42
a top mid first round draft pick.
18:44
The Jets drafted you and we all know what The Jets did to you.
18:47
But what you did North Carolina, there were two other players
18:51
that were you were compared to Julius Peppers, who's one of the
18:54
greatest pass rushers, and Lawrence Taylor.
18:57
Think about it, two of the greatest pass rushers of all
19:01
time. They were comparing you 2 before
19:03
you stepped on an NFL football field.
19:05
I mean, that's if that's not pressure, I don't know what is.
19:08
There's another one that just went to number one overall pick,
19:10
Mario Williams, so it was from North Carolina.
19:11
As well. Yeah, right, right, right down
19:13
the road as well. Yeah.
19:14
So that that person is, is it's undescribable in a sense, you
19:19
know, because it's, it's really you really taking on the fact
19:22
that you're playing versus your own legacy and you also playing
19:26
up to the expectations and height that comes around you.
19:29
And although sometimes you don't buy into the height, you still
19:32
hear the height. So to be able to go out there
19:34
and perform at a high level and then you also have to take on,
19:38
you know, the the other team basically game planning against
19:42
you. And if you don't know how to
19:43
adjust it, that that can impact your game.
19:45
Not to say that you don't have the talent, but it could just
19:47
impact your game at a different level.
19:49
So I understand, especially in an individual sports such as
19:52
golf, you know, you got the weather, you got, you know, all
19:54
those fans that's outside the rope, those different things
19:57
that that the stakes are very high.
19:59
And so you just chasing greatness and it's it's a.
20:03
Indescribable pressure that comes upon you whenever you have
20:05
to do that. When I was, and again, everybody
20:08
asked me how did I get myself into this industry?
20:10
Everybody wants to know what pushed me to drive myself.
20:14
And I would say guys like Mike Francesa, Chris Russo, big name
20:18
guys that were the faces of New York sports.
20:21
And I look at Mike Francesa and I look at his achievements and
20:24
his goals. Now he's into podcasting.
20:26
But I knew in 2012, 2013, the industry was going to change.
20:31
So I had to catch these guys, had to catch patch up, and I
20:34
wanted to be the driving force of this industry.
20:37
And I'm still trying and figuring out what makes me
20:40
different from all these other guys and what makes me better.
20:43
And one of the things I could say is I don't compare myself to
20:47
Mike Francesa or McAfee or any of these superstar guys that are
20:50
doing and are working to strive to be the best in this industry.
20:54
What I compare myself is, is that I have guys that I look up
20:57
to and but I want to be considered different.
21:00
I don't want to ever be considered.
21:02
Well, like you, when I look at Lawrence Taylor, I look at
21:05
Julius Pepper because what happens is is when you
21:07
breakthrough, they're comparing you to those guys automatically.
21:12
You, you're being compared to two of the greatest pass rushers
21:16
of this age, the era, greatest of all time and you that puts a
21:21
lot of pressure on you. Some people can handle pressure
21:24
and others cannot. I believe I can handle the
21:27
pressure, but I don't want to be considered.
21:28
Hey, that's that's the next my Francesco.
21:30
That's the next Chris Russo or that's the next, the next crazy
21:34
Craig Cardin that has an understanding of what sports is.
21:36
I don't want anybody to compare me to anything because it what
21:39
to me. I not that the pressure bothers
21:42
me. It's it's just the fact that I
21:44
don't want to be considered one of those guys.
21:46
I want to be Errol Marx. I want to be the loud, crazy,
21:50
rambunctious idiot that knows sports.
21:53
That's what I want people to to, to consider me.
21:55
And I think that when you look at Rory McIlroy, the first thing
21:59
people were comparing them to when he walked on a PGA Tour was
22:03
Tiger Woods. He's the European Tiger Woods.
22:05
He's the face of European golf. Nobody wants to have that
22:10
pressure. Nobody wants to take that
22:11
pressure on. Think about what Tiger Woods,
22:13
his son, is dealing with. Everybody is saying how great
22:17
this kid is. He's up and coming.
22:19
He's going to be the face of the PGA in the future.
22:22
It looks like his father. He plays like his father, but is
22:26
he his father? Nobody's going to be his father.
22:29
His father transition the game of GG is what it is today
22:34
because of Tiger Woods. No.
22:35
And I love Jack Nicklaus. I I didn't get a chance to
22:38
really watch him at his high at a high level, because when he
22:41
was playing at a high level, it was early 80s and the 70s.
22:44
I wasn't alive. But what I do know about what he
22:47
did for golf, he drove Tiger Woods and his father mad because
22:52
who are they chasing? What are they chasing?
22:55
They're chasing the greatest golfer, the the title champion,
22:59
the guy that stood good for everything for American golf,
23:02
and that's Jack Nicklaus. That's the thing.
23:04
When you're pressured and you put yourself in a situation,
23:07
sometimes you don't start off strong.
23:08
Sometimes you never get to that point or never get to that
23:11
position because you feel, look at Ronnie James.
23:15
Ronnie James got into the NBA because of who his dad is.
23:18
He was drafted in the second round by the Lakers.
23:21
Why? Because the lake, he told the
23:23
Lakers. You draft my son?
23:24
No. He had generation time.
23:26
He had generation time. Who I can't let you do, Ronnie,
23:29
I can't let you. Generational.
23:30
Time Generational. Time really 2.
23:32
Points have you seen him in the last in the last five games?
23:35
What I will say about the greatest part is we're really
23:38
kidding here. We're gonna do it.
23:40
We're gonna do it. But listen, the part about the
23:42
greatness is that if you have any type of comparison or
23:45
similarity to someone, they're gonna always.
23:47
Not comparable. To people are gonna always say
23:49
that, huh? He's not comparable to his
23:51
father, not even close. By far, yeah.
23:54
Explosion. The way you get to the basket,
23:56
Yeah. Dude, are we watching?
23:57
This doesn't look the same. It doesn't look the same.
23:59
It doesn't look the same. I'll let you finish what you're
24:01
saying. I'll let you finish.
24:02
I'm gonna. Kill you on this.
24:04
I'm gonna kill you on this. Go ahead.
24:06
Yeah, OK, go ahead. All right.
24:07
So, yeah. So with greatness, you know, you
24:10
have a similarity. People are gonna always compare
24:12
you. But what you have to remind
24:13
yourself is that you don't have to be that person.
24:16
You're gonna always be unique. You're gonna always show the
24:19
unique talent that you have and what you bring to the table.
24:22
So I think a lot of the times people guys get caught up with
24:25
trying to emulate the person that they're comparing
24:27
themselves to instead of just understanding that you only have
24:31
the glimpse of it and you are creating your own destiny within
24:34
the sport that you're in. Are you done?
24:36
Let's go, let's go. Let's talk about Bernie though,
24:37
yeah? I'm cool.
24:39
OK, so you just said that. What?
24:42
His talent and his generational generational talent.
24:46
This kid is averaging 2.9 points per game, 0.6 rebounds per game,
24:51
and 1.2 assists a game. It doesn't matter what Brawny
24:55
James does for his future. He made his money because of who
24:59
his father is and I'm sorry he's 6 foot 2 to brought for LeBron
25:05
who's 68 built like a truck and this kids built like a Weiner.
25:09
I mean I I don't even know. I think he could fit a bun more
25:12
than his father could, because I would rather eat the bun than
25:15
the Weiner. Honestly, this guy stinks.
25:18
He's really bad. His talent, Yeah, he's got some
25:22
talent, NBA talent. If he has such great NBA talent,
25:26
why did 30 something teams pass up on him?
25:29
Why did everybody, if the Lakers didn't draft him, everybody said
25:33
he was going to be an undrafted player playing in the G League
25:35
for the rest of his life, and you're going to tell me he's
25:37
generational? Please nobody.
25:40
Nobody would be. Playing him no dog, nobody
25:43
would. Be playing.
25:44
Him. No, I didn't finish.
25:46
I didn't finish. I'm going to say this.
25:48
You, you cut me off. And now I lost my train of
25:50
thought. I'm sorry.
25:50
All right, here. Here's here's what I'm going to
25:53
say. If he was so good, why did it
25:57
have to? Why did it take multiple players
26:00
to get hurt to play him as much as he's playing right now?
26:03
Nobody wanted this kid. The Lakers probably don't want
26:07
him on this. And as a matter of fact, I'm
26:09
going to predict this. When LeBron decides to go to
26:12
Cleveland next year or Dallas or New York, wherever he decides to
26:15
go, I'm going to tell you this. He's going to take Brownie James
26:18
with him because the Lakers don't want him.
26:20
The Lakers never wanted this kid.
26:23
Never wanted this kid. Those stories coming out,
26:27
Stephen A Smith wasn't lying about that.
26:29
You think he was lying about that?
26:31
Stephen A. Smith, are you agree with
26:33
Stephen? AI agree absolutely.
26:35
The one thing I've agreed with Stephen A Smith 100% if you read
26:39
my story, which I sent to you all the time, which maybe you're
26:43
not proofreading it or you're just sitting there claiming that
26:46
you're reading it. Yes, Stephen A Smith.
26:48
The one thing I would agree about Stephen A Smith is this
26:51
Bronny James, LeBron James. Why do you think they have so
26:53
much beef? They have so much beef is
26:56
because Stephen A Smith took shots at his son and said the
27:00
truth, told him the truth. He doesn't say.
27:03
I'm not saying Stephen A Smith doesn't tell the truth, but some
27:05
of the truth is just out of outlandishly crazy.
27:07
But he's not wrong about this. There's a better chance of Bryce
27:12
James being somewhat of a talent like his father because he's
27:16
actually 6-7 and he's closer to his father's size than LeBron.
27:21
I'm sorry Brownie Junior who thinks that because of who his
27:25
father isn't because he who's he dating or what TMZ cameras going
27:29
to follow him. I mean this guy got an
27:31
endorsement. This guy got $3,000,000 of an
27:33
endorsement money because of who his father was.
27:36
He is the highest paid second round draft pick ever.
27:41
Ever. Why?
27:43
You're going to tell me he's better than Yokich?
27:45
You're going to tell me he's better than Yokich?
27:47
Yes, Nicola Yokich. If he was in the right system.
27:51
Oh stop. Right system.
27:52
Oh my God, dude, he can play in pee wee basketball.
27:55
He wouldn't be in the right system.
27:56
Nicola Yokich could play better with one eye blindfolded and
27:59
it's just his left. Hand you're you're out of your
28:01
mind, Mitchell. Mitchell Robinson is a way
28:04
better second round draft pick than him.
28:07
No way. Yes, yes, yes, way.
28:09
He's developing it, but he's developed well in New York.
28:12
But Ronnie is still in the development phase.
28:15
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
28:16
You're judging him as if and he had to come in.
28:18
I didn't say he was coming in like his his father.
28:21
I'm telling you that he's showing glimpse of it and that's
28:24
what I'm saying. That's the problem that you're
28:25
missing. You're comparing him to his
28:28
father's first year and 2nd year versus comparing him for where
28:32
he's at. If he can't get in the game,
28:34
guess what? He can't score.
28:35
So he's not ready, if he hasn't developed yet, to get to the
28:39
place that he needs to beat. He got drafted in the second
28:40
round for a reason. I know you don't.
28:42
You hate the, you know. Yeah, because the bus Bus
28:50
drafted him in the second round period.
28:52
Now, whether you like it or not, it doesn't matter.
28:55
But Ronnie. I'm.
28:57
I'm trying to get my take. Can I get my take?
28:59
You said a lot of things, that is.
29:00
Outlandish. You did too, and I didn't.
29:03
No, I. Haven't.
29:04
Right. So fact Diddy Buss drafted him
29:06
in the second round and paid him that money, but yet you're still
29:09
blaming LeBron James in regards to why he's on the roster.
29:13
And that's just not true. He played a game, he played in
29:17
college. He needed to be developed
29:19
because he got remember he got he had a heart situation, right
29:22
correct. Remember that all right so then
29:24
he he sat out then he got drafted.
29:27
Now you got to go to the development phase.
29:28
Hold on, not going to be hold on, hold on.
29:31
He was. Averaging he was averaging 2.8
29:33
points per game before the heart situation he had he States and
29:39
very young. This guy was one of the most
29:42
overrated players in high school.
29:44
As a matter of fact, when he was his father decided to go and
29:48
play for the Lakers because he wanted his son or sons to play
29:52
for one of the best private schools in the country.
29:54
You know why? Because there was no way anybody
29:56
was going to follow this kid because he was undersized and he
29:59
wasn't any good. And you're going to come out
30:01
here and you're going to tell me right now that Ronnie James
30:05
needs a little bit time to develop to develop into what?
30:08
He's an undersized so-called shooting guard.
30:11
OK, That's what he is a 6/2. How many shooting guards do we
30:15
know in the NBA that has become elite at the at six two.
30:20
Who doesn't have a shot, by the way, Ronnie, they can't shoot a
30:22
ball. How do you think that dude, he
30:25
is a horrible shooter. Drew Holiday is.
30:28
Here's a one. Here's a one.
30:31
No, you're telling me something that's ridiculous.
30:33
I love this Brawny debate. You know that there was an
30:36
interesting thing that came out Brawny tried to get a trademark
30:39
for B9 with his jersey number and he got denied because of a
30:44
Back 9 golfing company. That's where Bronny's status is
30:48
at right now. He can't even get his name
30:50
trademarked because of some golf clubs.
30:53
It's during the Masters. It's it's golf.
30:55
During the. Come on.
31:00
Are you really pitching Bronny James to us?
31:03
I'm just telling you, I know. I just think you're beating them
31:05
up. I'm not pitching them.
31:06
You are think you're beating them up for no reason, dude.
31:09
And I think he has more value than what you're.
31:11
Doing his career, his career as a college player and NBA player,
31:15
he averages all together one point 9 points per game and less
31:19
than a rebound a game. So you're going to tell me that
31:21
Bronnie James is any good? Please.
31:23
I mean, those numbers are at least twice as good as Stephen A
31:27
Smiths college numbers. So I mean.
31:30
You're quoting him, He's better. You quoting him and you quoting
31:33
him. Yeah, quick too.
31:34
Like I said before the private chat, it happens twice a year.
31:37
Arrow will agree with Stephen A Smith on something.
31:39
It's probably 1 of very few things I agree with him and and
31:43
just think the problem between Stephen A Smith and LeBron James
31:47
is because of the argument of his son because he didn't like
31:51
how Stephen A Smith attacked his son on his show.
31:54
Well, really. Well, don't be telling people
31:57
that they should that the Lakers should be in and and better
32:01
draft Bronny James. And that's what he did.
32:03
He threaten the Lakers because he's LeBron James.
32:06
The LJA. He threatened the Lakers that he
32:09
better draft him in the second round.
32:11
They were a lot of people were thinking that the Lakers were
32:14
going to find a way and reach to draft him in the first round or
32:17
try to move up in the first round because LeBron was afraid
32:19
that somebody was going to sneak in who was going to sneak him.
32:22
OK, see, nobody wants that kid. Nobody wants Ronnie James.
32:28
Nobody. Did you have a bet with Keith
32:29
that he wouldn't go in the 1st? Round dude I yes and I won I.
32:32
Know people really thought he was going to be be taken in the
32:34
first round that year. I don't know what they were
32:36
thinking. They're out of their minds.
32:39
Out of their minds. You should.
32:41
Have. Ronnie certainly isn't winning
32:43
anything, but there's a hometown team that you wrote an article
32:46
about that might. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
32:49
I call this all righty then. Oh, righty then all.
32:54
Righty all, righty all. Righty.
32:59
Here we are. All righty then guys, welcome
33:03
back to Errol's literary segment.
33:05
If you haven't been following worldwidesportsradio.com or
33:09
following us on Reddit, then you don't know that Errol is also a
33:13
very acclaimed author. Our website, which gets around
33:15
1/4 of a million people come into it every month as of last
33:19
month, crushing it. You get to see all of Errol's
33:21
articles, all the clips from the show and you know, some of our
33:25
other interns and some of our other writers associated with NR
33:28
Media, Nitin Ramachandras PR company.
33:31
That don't don't forget about John from Queens.
33:33
He's. Doing and John from Queens, John
33:35
Pagnotta also another really good writer from us.
33:38
We got some more guys I write every once in a while too.
33:41
But this article, the New York Knicks are the topic of choice
33:45
now with the playing games. We're going to be talking about
33:47
those in a minute. The Knicks are the ones that
33:51
have the nice three seed set up for them and Errol wrote an
33:54
article the New York Knicks built for a championship or a
33:58
Magic show where everyone disappears.
34:00
I'm going to read an excerpt to the article.
34:02
There are comments in Reddit that all of our listeners and
34:05
fans are commenting on. If you would like your comment
34:08
read on the show, please comment on these articles through our
34:12
Reddit. Right off the bat, here's a
34:14
picture of the King himself, Jalen Brunson.
34:16
Here's the article. The question every New York fan
34:19
is asking right now. Are the Knicks actually ready
34:22
for a playoff run? Or are we just waiting for
34:25
President Leon Rose to speed dial Milwaukee like he's
34:29
ordering late night pizza? For Giannis and Ted.
34:31
Akuho, because let's be honest, if this team flames out before
34:34
the Finals, Rose is absolutely sitting there like, hello,
34:38
Milwaukee. Yeah, you guys like Draft picks,
34:41
Role players in my emotional stability, The Brunson and Towns
34:45
experiment. Championship duo or defensive
34:49
traffic cones? The entire season's revolved
34:51
around the duo, Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns
34:54
offensively, electric defensively.
34:57
Let's just say opposing guards are walking into the paint like
35:00
it's a Costco sample aisle. Can you win a championship when
35:04
two of your best players treat defense like it's an optional
35:06
DLC? Run gives you 30, Town gives you
35:10
25, Opponents give you 135. That's not a formula, that's a
35:15
track me. This might legitimately be the
35:18
first Knicks duo in history where fans say, wow, they scored
35:22
70 combined. How did they lose by 12?
35:26
And as you keep going, you see it's a great long article.
35:28
We got Josh Hart in there, the disappearing magicians, you know
35:31
now you see him now you don't OG Ananobi, Mikhail Bridges.
35:35
Some nights they look like elite two way stars.
35:37
Other nights you check the box score and say wait, did they
35:40
play? Did they call out sick?
35:42
Are they in witness protection? You'll see two points, 1
35:45
rebound, 0 aggression, 36 minutes of cardio.
35:49
This roster has too many players that disappear offensively and
35:54
in the playoffs that gets goes fast because playoff basketball
35:58
isn't someone step up, it's you better step up or you're going
36:03
home speedy. All right, first comment is from
36:06
BV 0198. Most likely the starting lineup
36:09
will be blown up trading Cat and either one of OG or Bridges.
36:12
Brown is most likely one more chance, unless they lose to
36:15
queues Atlanta Hawks in the first round.
36:17
I would agree with you. I think Brown is on the hot
36:20
seat. Everybody thinks that Mike Brown
36:21
is in. He's he's doing something that
36:23
only Pat Riley has done as a New York Knick coach.
36:26
So BV, I agree with you, but trading Cat or OG or Bridges,
36:32
you got to make sure that this is going to work and you're not
36:35
trading away big huge pieces for one player.
36:38
Right now. The Knicks strength is their
36:40
depth. You trade away your depth for
36:42
one player. As good as Giannis is that could
36:46
be that could spell trouble for the New York Knicks no matter
36:48
who they bring in. They could bring, I don't know,
36:52
Kobe Bryant, if you, if you were still an elite player, Michael
36:55
Jordan, any one of these guys. If they're you lose the edge,
36:59
you lose the talent that you have that has really brought
37:02
this did Nick team into an elite status that could cost you a
37:06
chance to winning a championship.
37:08
Let's go to a Giannis comments Peas Porridge 90 old New York
37:12
Knicks have been triggered in the Giannis chase, but he doubts
37:14
Milwaukee want to bring back Cat or OG with Cat being 31 and OG
37:18
being 29. OK, so peace.
37:21
I could go back and forth with this whole Giannis thing.
37:24
If the New York Knicks fall short, if they fall short, even
37:29
if they go to a championship and they get completely bounced out
37:33
by OKC, this team is not good enough to win that title.
37:37
So what do you think this team is going to do?
37:40
Well, they're going to trade for Giannis and they're going to try
37:43
to add pieces that are going to help them to win.
37:46
Giannis is definitely going to be the hot ticket in the
37:48
offseason. It's the Knicks #1 target.
37:51
And if it takes OG, Mikhail Bridges or Cat to move, that's
37:56
what's going to happen. And I do.
37:57
I do believe no matter what the Knicks do, if they don't win a
38:01
championship, you're going to see at least two of these guys
38:04
go Cat OG or McHale Bridges. Two out of the three guys are
38:08
definitely going to be gone. All right, a little bit of a
38:10
counter argument here. Blue Dog suit if they flame out
38:13
again, somebody's taking the fall but blowing up the whole
38:15
core a stretch. You don't trade OG or Bridges
38:17
unless you're going to clear top five guy dot back.
38:20
He does mention Giannis as being the most likely candidate, but
38:23
still doesn't think the Knicks are the favorite for him, right?
38:24
Now I absolutely believe the that the Knicks are the
38:27
favorites. Here is the facts.
38:29
Giannis was being looked out by the Timberwolves.
38:31
They had enough pieces to move. The Timberwolves didn't get them
38:35
and the Miami Heat and Miami and Pat Riley have always been known
38:38
to go after superstars to bring there as they've done over the
38:42
years and that's what's helped them win or at least get them
38:45
into the finals and fail to win Jimmy Buckets.
38:47
We all know the whole back end story.
38:50
They are absolutely the lead and you do not want to trade OG and
38:53
Bridges. You trade one or the other
38:56
because what they do and they brought these two players in is
38:59
to to defend against Jaylen Brown.
39:02
And what's it, I'm sorry, Tatum, Jason Tatum, who is coming back
39:07
from the injury? If you lose both of these guys,
39:10
this effects their defense. Who's going to defend those two
39:12
guys? Cat Yanis is A to me, he's an in
39:17
box defender. That's what he does and he's a
39:19
great rebounder. It doesn't make any sense.
39:21
So I like your take, Blue, but I absolutely believe Giannis is is
39:26
a favorite to go to the New York Knicks.
39:27
All right, next 1 from 12 Doghouse 12 E 45.
39:30
Time to blow it up. If they don't make the finals,
39:32
how many times are going to be people are going to hold this
39:34
team accountable before they fail once again?
39:37
I agree with you dog. I think that the Knicks are
39:39
going to be looking at this regular.
39:41
I mean the what they did in the regular season at the tail end
39:44
and what they do in the playoffs, the success of the
39:47
playoffs, who they matched up against, how they dominate
39:50
against those teams. Detroit is a team that even
39:53
though they they've been one of the elite teams in all of the
39:55
league this year, they're better than they lose against Detroit
39:58
and in the second or third round in the the the NBA Eastern
40:04
Conference Championship. The New York Knicks could look
40:07
to move and and move superstar players like Cat and OG and
40:11
Miguel. They're not going to treat Jalen
40:13
Bronson. Maybe Josh Hart is on his way to
40:15
go. I do believe that if the Knicks
40:17
don't win a championship, they're going to blow it up no
40:20
matter what. I expect them to blow it up.
40:22
It's all about championship. A bus.
40:24
Their window is here, They have a three-year window.
40:27
NBA teams have a three to four year window and we're going into
40:30
Year 3 with this window. All right last one from several
40:33
molasses 435 Mike Brown should be on the hot seat.
40:36
They need to make trades. This core has a second round.
40:38
Stealing Brunson is not good enough to win, and he thought
40:41
the Celtics got The Knicks got lucky because the Celtics just
40:44
beat themselves shooting too many threes.
40:45
Several. I here's the thing, Bronson is
40:49
good enough to win, but you cannot have two of your best
40:52
players not defending their positions, point guard.
40:57
And I would say Jalen Bronson is a top three-point guard right
40:59
now in the league. And then you have Cat, who's one
41:02
of the best offensive big man in the league.
41:04
You could argue the best offensive big man in the league.
41:07
We have two guys that can play 1 dimensional basketball offense
41:10
and they don't really play a bona fide defensive style.
41:14
You're looking at this team, can they win?
41:17
I think they can win with Jaylen Bronson.
41:18
I don't think they can win with Cat and Jaylen Bronson.
41:21
And I do believe Mike Brown's in a hot seat.
41:23
If the Knicks get knocked out in the first to second round, no
41:25
matter how good of a season they are, a lot of people are going
41:29
to say that Mike Brown is not going to win.
41:31
And he's not the winning championship coach that they
41:34
should have brought in especially yes, he's been he's
41:37
played in the NBA title as an assistant and he hasn't been a
41:40
coach with the Cavaliers and he's fall short.
41:43
He did win with the Golden State Warriors and the Spurs.
41:46
My problem here is can he do it as the lead guy?
41:49
And I think a lot of fans are saying no matter how good he is
41:52
in the regular season, can he take this team to the promised
41:54
land And, and, and if he does, isn't going to fall short and
41:58
not be able to handle the pressure that he has in New
42:01
York. All right.
42:04
Now I will say this, Speedy, you are, you've been horrible when
42:07
it comes to the music. Get the music and actually
42:10
somehow, if you want me to do that, I'll mix it because it
42:14
shouldn't be jumping from one thing to another and not be able
42:17
to go from the song. It doesn't make any sense.
42:19
It's been horrible. So if you need some help over
42:22
there, I can help you. Just like your picture.
42:24
I want to let everybody know Speedy was so worried about what
42:28
was going on in the other show before our show that he he
42:31
didn't test his camera and that's why his camera is a
42:33
little blurry tonight. So if anybody wants to ask me
42:36
what's going on with Speedy's camera, it's him.
42:39
It's the great Speedy PD who doesn't listen to me, who likes
42:43
to argue his points, but argue his points in the wrong fashion.
42:47
Because now tonight he looks stupid because I told him before
42:52
the show to do this and do that, and he didn't listen to me.
42:54
So for all you fans out there wondering if I'm a good leader,
42:58
I'm a great leader. It's just we have soldiers that
43:02
like to listen to himself. That's what he likes to.
43:05
Do anyways, there's a lot of hate mail behind speeding.
43:07
No, there's no hating. It's it's just facts.
43:09
No, you don't get a lot of hate mail.
43:10
No hate mail. Whatever it's, it's true, it's
43:13
facts. Thank you to all the Spotify and
43:16
