• 0:56
  I don't know if anybody's ever watched this show, but I like to
• 0:58
  drink applesauce. It's like one of my favorite
• 1:01
  things to do. And I like my cinnamon
• 1:04
  applesauce. I do not use spoons.
• 1:07
  I drink it. As you see, right now, you
• 1:09
  watch. You got no teeth, so you can't
• 1:13
  actually eat it. So.
• 1:16
  I like to drink it, so for all the people out there that think
• 1:19
  I'm weird, good for you. That's.
• 1:21
  What I do on this day, we learned that Era loves to drink.
• 1:25
  Everybody knows. I drink applesauce.
• 1:27
  They think, they think I'm weird.
• 1:28
  Jabba thought I was crazy when I was doing it.
• 1:31
  I think Johnny even was mocking him for one of the times he was
• 1:34
  on last year. I like to drink applesauce.
• 1:36
  It's actually really, really good.
• 1:37
  It's nutritious and it makes me feel good about myself.
• 1:39
  But it gives me kidney stones. That's.
• 1:42
  What it is, it's it's not nutritious.
• 1:44
  There's so much sugar. In that don't televise, please
• 1:49
  don't surprise. You don't got diabetes.
• 1:51
  I don't have diabetes because I'm running about.
• 1:53
  I I'm doing cardio every day. 30-40 minutes, Yeah.
• 1:56
  Not ready. I'm burning, baby, I'm burning,
• 1:59
  but I like my applesauce. I don't drink all of it.
• 2:02
  I just can't take a couple of sips it gives.
• 2:04
  Me. You weren't there done already.
• 2:05
  I need no, I'm not. No, I'm not.
• 2:09
  There's a lot more left on this. I, I drink it here and there and
• 2:12
  I, I want people to understand something.
• 2:14
  I, when you're standing up all show and I'm sweating my butt
• 2:17
  off trying to entertain you guys, it happens.
• 2:20
  I need something to kind of give me energy.
• 2:22
  I'm not going to go out of my way to, you know, take a whiff
• 2:25
  or something or, you know, there could be a whiff or something,
• 2:27
  you know, but you know what I mean.
• 2:29
  I, I, I like to give myself some energy.
• 2:32
  I don't like coffee or coffee and I don't like smoking or any
• 2:37
  of that stuff. So I like to calm down and drink
• 2:39
  some applesauce. I'm a weird guy.
• 2:42
  I like my applesauce. Anyways, we call this.
• 2:46
  Let's parlay. It's time for let's.
• 3:00
  Parlay Oh, right, we got Reno Johnny here.
• 3:03
  Do we have anybody else comments?
• 3:05
  No, just Johnny tonight. He's going to be on for tonight
• 3:07
  and then he's got to defend his crown on King of the Hill.
• 3:09
  All right, so he'll be on and making me sick to my stuff,
• 3:14
  right, ladies and gentlemen? So if you don't know the rules
• 3:17
  of this, it's very simple. Johnny is one of the better
• 3:19
  handicappers in the country. We have them on the show every
• 3:22
  single week. We we usually have Wes or Chaz.
• 3:25
  And by the way, congratulations, Chaz made $780 this past week on
• 3:30
  the Kentucky Derby. So he, he gave you some winners
• 3:33
  guys. So you should be listening,
• 3:35
  listening with your ears and watching.
• 3:37
  There it is. I love my nutrition.
• 3:39
  There it is. Anyways, the I would love my own
• 3:42
  apple applesauce by the way, but it's got to be cinnamon.
• 3:45
  It can't be regular. It's got to be cinnamon.
• 3:47
  I need my cinnamon. Anyways, he's going to give you
• 3:50
  3 history top picks of the weekends and then give you a
• 3:54
  parlay for the 4th. Listen, guys, and you might get
• 3:58
  yourself some money and some winners.
• 4:01
  All right, Reno. Yeah, thanks for having me on
• 4:05
  again. I'm going to start off with the
• 4:07
  fading of the hometown team here.
• 4:10
  I'm going to fade the New York Knicks and take the Sixers.
• 4:13
  This Sixers team has been a money maker this season, and I
• 4:16
  will this playoff. Not this season, the playoffs.
• 4:19
  And I will say one more comment that might be a little bit hard
• 4:22
  to contend, but they're maybe better without him beat.
• 4:25
  They they they feel like they play a little bit more freer.
• 4:28
  Like when the beat went out and the spread went three points up
• 4:32
  to 10, I jumped on that. They could have won that game.
• 4:36
  And if you look at that Celtic series, they really had, you
• 4:38
  know, they had him beat a couple games.
• 4:40
  His first game back they were they were blown out game one.
• 4:43
  They're going up by 30 with them beat and without them, they feel
• 4:46
  they play a little more free. I don't like the fact that we're
• 4:48
  going to lay a point and a half. I felt like maybe the Knicks
• 4:51
  would still come in as slight favorites for the value there,
• 4:54
  but I'm going to take the Sixers here to win the win the game.
• 4:57
  I think the Knicks will eventually come out on top in
• 4:59
  the series. It's going to be too much for
• 5:01
  them. But I do think the Sixers will
• 5:03
  compete and and and look, they did.
• 5:05
  They took off that monkey off their back by by by being the
• 5:08
  Celtics and now they're available to kind of continue
• 5:10
  this run. I don't think it's going to
• 5:12
  continue, but I do think they get game three and we'll kind of
• 5:15
  see how the rest of the series goes.
• 5:17
  The Spurs, after losing a game that they probably should have
• 5:22
  won, they got the shot they wanted.
• 5:24
  A lot of people said Mitch should have taken the time out.
• 5:27
  I thought he in for the decisions he's made.
• 5:30
  I thought that was actually a good decision not to take the
• 5:32
  time out. They got the shot they wanted a
• 5:34
  game one. It didn't fall if it hit if it
• 5:36
  if it hits, of course Mitch is a genius, right?
• 5:39
  So I think you know, Game 2, they came in, They did say that
• 5:43
  apparently Pop had a 40 minute film session with the team after
• 5:48
  game one in the that's the case. He had to be a genius or
• 5:51
  whatever he said to him. In 40 minutes, they turned
• 5:54
  around and demolished the Timberwolves.
• 5:57
  Injury concerns for Anthony Edwards.
• 5:59
  Not sure he'll be available. I think the Spurs will win this
• 6:03
  game and they're going to win by margin.
• 6:05
  I think they're going to blow out the Timberwolves.
• 6:08
  This might be and again, I don't want to overreact.
• 6:12
  This might be a gentleman sweep, give me the first game and then
• 6:16
  demolishing the rest of the way. So I think I'm going to lay the
• 6:18
  points there tomorrow night with the Spurs on the road to the
• 6:23
  ice. We got two games that I'm going
• 6:27
  to go back-to-back on. So it says it's gone, be a
• 6:29
  playoffs name and NHL playoffs. We're going to take the Sabres.
• 6:34
  We're going to lay the -130 -, 140 now.
• 6:39
  Think I laid that -130 This Buffalo Sabres team is a team
• 6:42
  that didn't make playoffs last year, started the season kind of
• 6:44
  rocky and kind of wrote some mid season momentum all the way to
• 6:48
  playoffs. They, they really from, from
• 6:50
  puck drop in the, in the Boston series have dominated their,
• 6:53
  that playoff series. So I really think that there's a
• 6:55
  better team here. I think Montreal played a down
• 6:59
  to Tampa Bay Lightning team that didn't have one of their better
• 7:02
  players due to mental issues. He he missed the last 25 games
• 7:06
  of the season plus the playoffs. They won every game by one.
• 7:09
  It was a 7 game series. It was kind of a grueling
• 7:11
  series. I think Buffalo is going to take
• 7:13
  advantage of that here. They're going to have the
• 7:15
  fresher legs. They're going to take advantage
• 7:17
  here early. Give me the -130.
• 7:19
  I think it's not the -1 40. We will lay that.
• 7:22
  We're also going to head out to Anaheim, the Las Vegas Knights.
• 7:28
  You don't know that. I am a Las Vegas Knights fan.
• 7:31
  I jumped on early, but I think this is a good opportunity to
• 7:36
  take the over. I think six goals, you know,
• 7:40
  the, the Knights have won in this playoff series in, in, in
• 7:44
  the previous playoff series, not by defense.
• 7:45
  They were scoring a lot of goals.
• 7:48
  Plus their defense is a little bit leaky.
• 7:49
  Plus their goaltender is not very strong.
• 7:52
  I think the Golden Knights offense is going to dictate the
• 7:54
  pace of this game. I think we're going to get
• 7:56
  plenty of goals. I'm looking at about 6 and -110
• 7:59
  -, 115. If you don't like the goals
• 8:02
  total, I do think the Knights win this series and you're only
• 8:05
  getting a -, 110 of value, not big travel spot.
• 8:09
  I think they can play on the road and win this game, so I'm
• 8:12
  going to take that. But my official play will be the
• 8:14
  over 6 and -110. Human waste.
• 8:19
  There you go ladies and gentlemen, that was let's parlay
• 8:22
  with Reno Johnny and now he will be joining us with King of the
• 8:26
  Hill. The king of the hill.
• 8:30
  This, Bobby, is the Beltline. You never, ever hit below that.
• 8:34
  Not that kind of King of the hill, you dumb.
• 8:38
  This is King of the Hill. Awesome.
• 8:43
  Welcome back to King of the Hill.
• 8:47
  Let's. Get the Speedy, go Speedy, get
• 8:50
  the music going for King of the Hill and we will start this
• 8:53
  segment. We're just going to mute you,
• 8:55
  Johnny Reno, for a second because we're a little kid
• 9:00
  friendly in the background. Thank you very much.
• 9:03
  Let's get into it, Johnny. You are the king because you won
• 9:06
  last time. I'll be your court jester
• 9:08
  sitting next to you. Doesn't look like we have any
• 9:10
  interns in the back right now, so it'll just be the three of
• 9:14
  you. Q Speedy and Errol for a chance
• 9:17
  to become the king. Here is the week of questions in
• 9:22
  Peasant Fight where you guys will figure out who will go on
• 9:26
  to the joust and then the finals to take on the king.
• 9:29
  I want you to tell me your best individual NBA playoff
• 9:35
  performances of all time. We're not in the Finals right
• 9:38
  now. You could could include finals
• 9:40
  obviously in this, but it does not have to be.
• 9:44
  I want to hear your top three. And again, if someone takes it,
• 9:48
  you got to give me another one because we're going to go down
• 9:50
  the line and then back and down like we always do for best
• 9:54
  playoff performances of all time.
• 9:55
  And then Johnny, since you're the king, you're going to decide
• 9:58
  which 2 are going to move on to the next round based on their
• 10:01
  not just picks, but their defense of their picks.
• 10:05
  Let's go with. King of the Hill.
• 10:10
  Speedy, I don't think you have the right music on for.
• 10:12
  This. Yeah, it does.
• 10:13
  I'm not. Yeah, it does.
• 10:14
  If we we can't hear it over here, you've had issue with that
• 10:17
  most of the night. So let's see if we can get it
• 10:19
  going on the YouTube stream. Let's get it going here.
• 10:22
  It is back to the main screen. Let's start it up with Q speedy
• 10:29
  and then arrow for two and then back down the line.
• 10:32
  Here we go. You start us off.
• 10:35
  I'm a go with a Carolina legend against my favorite team,
• 10:41
  obviously, because I understand sports the most.
• 10:43
  I must say in regards to the Celtic ball, Michael Jordan, 63
• 10:51
  points versus the Celtics and 86.
• 10:54
  It's one of those games if you look back at it, it was
• 10:59
  incredible. Definitely unheard of.
• 11:02
  I mean, obviously some guys did it before, but it was kind of
• 11:04
  unheard of. The score 63 points versus the
• 11:09
  team Boston Celtics at that point in time was pretty much
• 11:13
  unbeatable. You know, it had Larry Burrow
• 11:16
  who was like a three time MVP world champion, but at that
• 11:20
  point in time it was just incredible.
• 11:24
  One of the famous remarks that Larry Burrow said was God was
• 11:29
  disguised as Michael Jordan that night.
• 11:32
  So I'm going to go with the 63 points performance for Jordan
• 11:37
  versus Boston Celtics in 86. All right, Speedy all.
• 11:42
  Right, I'll go with the one that you said in the on this ASIC at
• 11:44
  the Clyde Fraser 36 points and 19 assists in that Game 7 for
• 11:49
  the New York Knicks, winning their first NBA championship
• 11:51
  against the Lakers team that was on paper a lot better than they
• 11:54
  were at that time. Obviously a lot of pressure to
• 11:55
  win the first championship, winning in New York against the
• 11:58
  Lakers team that just moved into to LA from Minneapolis where
• 12:00
  they won a bunch of championships at the time.
• 12:02
  But 19 assists? That was unheard of stat line
• 12:04
  unless you were Oscar Robertson pretty much back then.
• 12:07
  All right. Errol for two.
• 12:09
  All right, Michael Jordan, 1997 NBA Finals Game 5, the flu game.
• 12:14
  Well, it was something the pizza game, whatever they said, they
• 12:17
  said it was, but he was very severely ill and he scored 38
• 12:22
  points and obviously took the lead three to two in the series.
• 12:25
  It was an unbelievable. I remember that game.
• 12:27
  I really stuck out to me. It was against the Portland
• 12:30
  Trail Blazers, if you remember. So it stuck out to me.
• 12:33
  It was one of them and I was a kid and I watched that game.
• 12:36
  It was unbelievable. In 1997 I was right there.
• 12:39
  It was three years away from being graduating from high
• 12:43
  school in 2022 thousand. So that was that was the game.
• 12:48
  So I get another one, right? Yeah, another one.
• 12:50
  Magic Johnson 1980 NBA Finals Game 6 as a rookie.
• 12:55
  If anybody remembers Kareemel, Jewel Jabbar goes down.
• 12:59
  They needed a guy to take over and they had their point guard
• 13:02
  play and defend in multiple positions.
• 13:04
  Scored 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists to win the title.
• 13:10
  Those two really stuck out to me the most.
• 13:13
  All right, back to Speedy. I'm going to go with Tim Duncan,
• 13:16
  32 point and 20 rebound game in the NBA Finals.
• 13:21
  I believe it was the Nets, one of the times they played the
• 13:22
  Nets so that I think they played him twice and obviously that's
• 13:26
  how to type a stat line. 2020 is pretty hard to do.
• 13:28
  We've seen Nicole Yokich do it a couple of times, but it's very
• 13:31
  hard in the monitor, but definitely prevalent for
• 13:33
  somebody like Duncan back then, one of the best defensive
• 13:35
  players, the best defensive player this century that we've
• 13:38
  seen and that definitely showed in that game as well.
• 13:39
  It's a Nets team. Obviously they were a lot better
• 13:41
  than but 32 and 20. Very impressive.
• 13:45
  Q for two. I'm gonna go with everybody's
• 13:48
  fast favorite, the GOAT, LeBron James.
• 13:52
  He was a Game 6 versus the Celtics in 2012 was a legacy
• 13:56
  game. I think it's that was that on
• 13:58
  set around 45 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists of 19 of 26
• 14:04
  field goal percentage. So, you know, it was a legacy
• 14:06
  gaming. It elevated him into that, you
• 14:09
  know, upper echelon of where he is now.
• 14:11
  Later on is listed as one of the ghosts of the game, silenced all
• 14:15
  the criticism and one of the coldest not their performances
• 14:19
  that we have seen almost current to date.
• 14:22
  Yeah, all. Right, you get the other one.
• 14:27
  Me. Yeah, you go back.
• 14:29
  Oh, yeah, the third one. All right, let me go.
• 14:33
  Kobe Bryant 48 and 16 versus the Kings in 2001.
• 14:38
  That was that was so exciting. So yeah, 48.16 rebounds.
• 14:42
  It was on the road versus the Sacramento Kings.
• 14:45
  And yeah, Kobe just took over locked in.
• 14:49
  That's kind of where that Mama mentality came in and was
• 14:52
  stamped him, as, you know, one of the greatest scores of all
• 14:55
  time. So yeah, that's my guy.
• 14:58
  I'm going to go with that one. Speedy, your last one, all
• 15:01
  right. I'm going to go with an old
• 15:02
  school 1 here. Elgin Baylor, I believe had a 62
• 15:05
  point game early in his career when he was a younger player, I
• 15:09
  believe against the Celtics in the NBA Finals.
• 15:10
  I believe that was the first or second time ever the Lakers
• 15:13
  played the Celtics and obviously one of many going to the 80s
• 15:16
  after that. But Elgin Baylor, one of the
• 15:18
  kind of the one of the more forgotten players of when you
• 15:20
  look at the NBA legends, but as is one of the greatest players
• 15:23
  ever. And that was definitely one of
• 15:24
  the best stat lines in an NBA Finals, you could say.
• 15:27
  And finish it off, Errol. 2021 NBA Finals Game 6 Mr. Greek
• 15:34
  Freak recorded 50 points, 14 rebounds in five blocks to
• 15:39
  clinch the NBA Championship. Remember that, because Milwaukee
• 15:44
  fans will probably not see it for a very, very long time.
• 15:47
  That stuck out to me. I mean, look at the stat lines.
• 15:50
  I mean dominance. Absolute dominance.
• 15:53
  I'm going with Giannis. All right, Johnny, tell us who
• 15:58
  the two guys you would pick to move on are.
• 16:03
  Overall body of work, you know, Speedy had a really good Tim
• 16:07
  Duncan pick, but overall body of work like couples had three of
• 16:13
  the best arguably of all time, Jordan, Bron and Kobe.
• 16:18
  Like, Gee, I don't know how you. Can.
• 16:21
  Deal with that and then I do like I think arrows arrows
• 16:24
  squeaked past speedy with the Greek Freak 50 point closeout
• 16:28
  game states performance. So I'm going to go with those
• 16:32
  two partly and I will admit 100% a couple of the guys they're be
• 16:38
  all my time for speedy. You're picking you're picking
• 16:41
  out the hat. I'm like I I heard about Elgin
• 16:43
  Baylor, but I never seen the cat play.
• 16:46
  Hard to do that when I'm, when I'm competing with guys.
• 16:48
  I've seen, I saw Kobe's game, I saw George, I saw Earl.
• 16:52
  I was young, but I remember seeing during the games, I
• 16:54
  remember I saw Greek freeze game.
• 16:56
  So those are my 2 for this round.
• 16:58
  All right, Speedy, pop off the camera for a little bit and
• 17:01
  we'll move on to the joust where it gets real serious.
• 17:06
  The next question that you guys will debate for the finalist
• 17:10
  round for a chance to take on the King, the best NBA playoff
• 17:15
  teams that did not win a title. So this is the guys the best
• 17:22
  runner UPS of all time. I thought you'd appreciate this
• 17:27
  question. You got to dig a little deep.
• 17:29
  There's a couple of obvious ones laying there for you.
• 17:33
  You're the king, Johnny. Who do you want to go 1st?
• 17:36
  And this one will just go back and forth.
• 17:40
  We'll go, we'll go, Arrow. All right.
• 17:43
  Cyril, you're going to get the lead off in this round.
• 17:46
  The Joust. All right, I'm going to go the
• 17:49
  2015, 2016 Golden State Warriors that were 7373 and 9.
• 17:56
  They set the record for most regular season wins and NB in
• 18:01
  NBA history and only lost to the NBA final seven games against
• 18:05
  the Cleveland Cavaliers. I remember it because it was the
• 18:08
  shot that Kyrie Irving hit, that 3 point shot, and then we all
• 18:13
  remember Green fouling LeBron James and putting them at the
• 18:16
  line to hit those two game running free throws that ended
• 18:20
  the Golden State Warriors. I remember that Kevin Love
• 18:23
  showed up in Game 7, actually knew how to defend.
• 18:27
  I remember that. That to me really stuck out the
• 18:29
  most. Cute.
• 18:32
  I'm gonna go with the 2018 Houston Rockets.
• 18:35
  It was James Harden's MVP year. That team was kind of
• 18:39
  orchestrated just to knock off well, Arrow just mentioned the
• 18:42
  the Golden State Warriors. They weren't able to Chris Paul
• 18:46
  injury, you know, he was known as having a playoff curse.
• 18:49
  And then I think from that moment moving forward, James
• 18:52
  Harden became a playoff curse player type there as well.
• 18:57
  And also in that game is 27 straight threes, which we have
• 19:01
  learned that isn't a key factor and always win the championships
• 19:05
  and win a big time playoff game. So I'm going to go with the 2018
• 19:08
  Houston Rockets. All right, back to Errol.
• 19:12
  All right, I'm going to go with the Sacramento Kings in 2001 and
• 19:17
  2002. I remember that team.
• 19:20
  I remember Mike Bibby, if you remember that.
• 19:22
  I remember that team. Mr. Weber, Mr. I don't know how
• 19:25
  to call a timeout. Oh, I forgot there was a
• 19:27
  timeout. No, there wasn't a timeout for
• 19:29
  Michigan. The Fab 5, the Fab 4, whatever
• 19:33
  they call themselves, 61 and 21 dominated first style team that
• 19:37
  lost a highly controversy 7 game Western Conference finals
• 19:41
  against the Los Angeles Lakers. And Robert Horry I call him not
• 19:46
  Ori Horry. That game really stuck out to
• 19:50
  me. Cute.
• 19:52
  I'm going to 2012 Oklahoma City Thunder.
• 19:55
  They had Kevin, Katie, obviously, Russell Westbrook,
• 19:58
  James Harden, James Harden, Serge Ibaka.
• 20:01
  They went and went all the way to the Finals.
• 20:04
  I lost to the Heat. And listen, I mean a team that
• 20:09
  stack with that many mega superstars, even though they
• 20:11
  were still young, you can't you know, not the talent that it was
• 20:15
  gifted. They beat the Spurs and the
• 20:17
  Lakers and The Mavericks that year.
• 20:19
  Biggest what if team in regards to you know, a bunch of talent
• 20:23
  on set on one team. It was picked on paper to win
• 20:27
  the championship and fella and came up short and then changed
• 20:31
  not only that city or that that locker room but it changed the
• 20:36
  legacy of those 3 superstars with KD, Russell, West Book and
• 20:39
  James Harden. All right.
• 20:41
  Last ones, Errol. All right, so I want to do the
• 20:44
  Knicks, but I'm not going to do that because that should me not
• 20:47
  To me. I don't think it was really that
• 20:49
  impressive of a loss against a Rockets team that had a chemo
• 20:53
  Lajuan and Clyde the Glide. I'm going to go with the Phoenix
• 20:56
  Suns. Remember the 9293 Phoenix Suns?
• 20:59
  Remember Charles Barkley is MVP year dominating at Johnson.
• 21:05
  This team was a great, great team, but guess who they walked
• 21:08
  into? They walked into a a bobsledding
• 21:12
  Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls team and we all know the story.
• 21:15
  Michael Jordan never went to a Game 7.
• 21:17
  Charles Barkley had two great games.
• 21:20
  It didn't matter. Michael Jordan ended in in six
• 21:24
  the Chicago Bulls a lot of people talk about and that, by
• 21:26
  the way, was the Chicago's dynasty.
• 21:29
  That was the start of the Chicago Bulls dynasty.
• 21:34
  Cute. Yeah, I'm gonna stay up within
• 21:36
  that dynasty. I'm gonna go with the 1997 Utah
• 21:39
  Jazz. I mean, you got a John Stocking
• 21:41
  and Karl Malone. I think Karl Malone was like top
• 21:44
  five in Poys. John.
• 21:45
  John Stockton is top ten, top five in assists or number one in
• 21:49
  assists, I think, but so they could never get past Jordan.
• 21:53
  Jordan was always in a in a way, the guys had a legendary pick
• 21:58
  and roll style offense. It was one of the greatest duos
• 22:02
  that we've ever seen with John Stockman and Carl Malone and
• 22:06
  they never could never just get past Jordan.
• 22:08
  It was in the wrong time. If they would have caught him in
• 22:10
  the first nine years of his season, they probably would have
• 22:13
  got him at least one out of it. But I'm going to go with the
• 22:15
  1997 Utah Jazz all. Right, Johnny, you got to make a
• 22:21
  choice. Now who are you picking the move
• 22:24
  on to take on the game? There was, there was 2, two
• 22:27
  teams that I was like really three teams that I was really
• 22:31
  keen on, Y'all said. Two of them, the 13, the team
• 22:34
  Y'all did not say was the the 2000 Suns.
• 22:38
  The 2000 was a 2006 Suns. I believe that probably should
• 22:43
  have beat the Spurs, but they had some suspensions in that
• 22:47
  match up, a lot of fighting. So that should have been one of
• 22:49
  the teams, but I look at the two things I was looking at and that
• 22:52
  was my my top one was Sacramento.
• 22:54
  If you look at that, that that series as a kid, I remember I
• 22:58
  was rooting hard for Sacramento, one of the better series of all
• 23:02
  time. And then of course, you cannot
• 23:05
  say the Golden State Warriors. They lost nine games, didn't win
• 23:09
  the finals at rubble 31. They so those are the two I was
• 23:11
  looking at. So that's going to be the
• 23:13
  winner. And then of course, you had that
• 23:15
  Sun matchup would have been one of my place for sure.
• 23:19
  All right, Speedy, come back in. That means Errol's moving on to
• 23:22
  the final round. But now, Q, we get some revenge.
• 23:25
  We get to vote as a Democratic Republic instead of this.
• 23:28
  Well, I already know he's not voting me, so I know that over.
• 23:34
  How they please. It's a free country.
• 23:35
  You're free to vote whoever you. Want I tell students all the
• 23:38
  time, in 2016, 16,000 people woke up that morning and voted
• 23:43
  for a dead guerrilla named Harambe to be president.
• 23:46
  So you could do whatever you want to vote, whatever you want
• 23:50
  to do. So here it is, the last round.
• 23:52
  This is what you guys are going to be competing for and we're
• 23:53
  going to be judging based on this one.
• 23:57
  If I can just zoom it forwards a little bit.
• 23:58
  Here it is, Take on the king and the question is the best star
• 24:03
  players who just suck in the playoffs.
• 24:06
  Errol, you were talking about this earlier tonight with a
• 24:09
  certain player and I thought this would have been a great
• 24:12
  topic. I'm just saying guys that are
• 24:14
  great but terrible in the playoffs, or at least
• 24:18
  historically have been big choke artists in the playoffs.
• 24:22
  Give me your top three, Johnny. Since you're the king, you can
• 24:26
  decide if you want to go first or second.
• 24:30
  I think I'm going to go 2nd and this one, I think that did me
• 24:36
  last. That almost did me last time.
• 24:37
  I'm going to go second. All right, Errol.
• 24:40
  All right, I'm going to go number one who everybody knows,
• 24:44
  Mr. James Harden. This man sucks in the playoffs
• 24:49
  ever. He's the most disappointing
• 24:51
  player. This guy has won an MVP.
• 24:53
  This guy has won a six man. This guy has been a dominant
• 24:57
  regular season player and then when he go to the playoffs, game
• 25:00
  sevens mental breakdowns. The guy can't find.
• 25:03
  It doesn't matter if Chris Paul on a team, Russell Westbrook's
• 25:05
  on a team, Kevin Durant's on a team with Kyrie Irving.
• 25:08
  This guy does not show up in the big game.
• 25:11
  James Harden. It's my #1.
• 25:13
  Johnny. Players that don't, for me, it's
• 25:18
  going to be Carmelo Anthony, one of the better players of all
• 25:23
  time scoring wise. Seems to never make the plays,
• 25:27
  never makes turns the ball over a bunch, doesn't make the shots.
• 25:31
  I think he's been a disappointment and never won a
• 25:33
  title, never really got close. I think at Denver he was the
• 25:37
  closest he ever had got and then he ran his coach out of town
• 25:41
  because it didn't go his way. So I think for as brave a player
• 25:44
  as he was, a great college player as he was, he won the
• 25:46
  title first year at Syracuse, right?
• 25:49
  NBA never was able to find it. I do think that as as big of a
• 25:53
  name as he was, great offense just never never really came to
• 25:58
  fruition. All right, back to Errol.
• 26:01
  Joellen beat I, he pops up right away.
• 26:06
  If you look at what his regular season is scoring usually 2030
• 26:10
  points. I'm looking at his efficiency.
• 26:12
  Think about his efficiency dropping below 50% in the
• 26:15
  playoffs and 45% shooting in every single series.
• 26:19
  He has been horrible in the playoffs, doesn't show up, and
• 26:22
  he's the only big man that's won an MVP that's never taken his
• 26:27
  team to a fight. Eastern or Western Conference
• 26:30
  finals. The guy is an absolute debacle.
• 26:34
  That's so. That's a good one right there.
• 26:36
  Back to Johnny. Yeah, it is a good one.
• 26:38
  But I thought players actually play to be eligible for some
• 26:42
  work, you know, whatever play. But I'm going to go with Patrick
• 26:46
  Ewing. And I know, I know I'm not, I'm
• 26:50
  not nice to the voters here. But if you look at what Patrick
• 26:54
  Ewing did, he, he took him, you know, had a chance, a couple
• 26:57
  chances in the 90s and every single time it became you just
• 27:03
  aren't good. Enough.
• 27:06
  He got there. He just couldn't do end up not
• 27:10
  part of that. He runs to the Spurs, you know,
• 27:12
  runs into the Rockets. He just wasn't good enough.
• 27:17
  I do think that his performances lacked in the Finals when they
• 27:20
  matter the most. So I'm going to take that you're
• 27:22
  Ewing, and I know it's probably not great considering I'm got a
• 27:26
  bunch of big fans. All right, so I could go with
• 27:29
  two people, but this guy really sticks out to me like a sore
• 27:33
  thumb. Never won a championship.
• 27:34
  He's gone to a final with a great OK C team, and he's done
• 27:39
  it and failed to do it. Russell Westbrook criticized
• 27:43
  this guy, won an MVP, another one like James Harden, those
• 27:46
  OKC, OKC, Thunder guys that just don't show up in the playoffs.
• 27:50
  Every single team he's ever played for, he played with James
• 27:53
  Harden. He's gone on and left OKC.
• 27:55
  He's played with Paul George, who's another absolute debacle.
• 27:59
  He's an A complete, complete debacle in the playoffs and
• 28:02
  never won a championship. It doesn't matter where he goes.
• 28:05
  He went to the Nuggets, couldn't win with them.
• 28:07
  Everywhere he goes, he's a jinx. Everywhere he goes, it's Russell
• 28:11
  Westbrook. He doesn't show up in the
• 28:13
  playoffs. I got one that's probably not
• 28:17
  going to be very popular and it's actually part of that
• 28:20
  Oklahoma City team. I'm going to go Kevin Durant.
• 28:24
  And the reason I say that is because the one final he has,
• 28:28
  the only final he has, he only went there because he couldn't
• 28:32
  beat the Warriors. The Warriors didn't need Kevin
• 28:36
  Durant. The Warriors did not need Kevin
• 28:38
  Durant. They were going to win with or
• 28:40
  without Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant went there because
• 28:43
  he could not win without Steph Curry and company.
• 28:47
  They didn't need him. He could have, they could have
• 28:49
  hired him to mop the floors and they probably still would have
• 28:51
  been there. If you look at every other
• 28:53
  opportunity Kevin Durant has had outside of the Warriors, every
• 28:57
  other opportunity, he never was able to win a title and he had
• 29:02
  opportunities. He did have opportunities.
• 29:04
  We can blame Russell Westbrook, but I think we can also blame
• 29:06
  Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant in the what do you
• 29:09
  do with Houston this year? No, he didn't play with Houston
• 29:12
  this year. They brought him in.
• 29:14
  Everywhere he's gone. He except OAK, except for that
• 29:16
  one year in Golden State when they won a title.
• 29:19
  He does not ever perform in the playoffs.
• 29:23
  He has failed to win a title without Steph Curry and without
• 29:27
  Steph Curry, he still does not have a title today.
• 29:30
  And that will be his only title he ever has.
• 29:32
  His thanks to Steph Curry. All right, let's do the voting.
• 29:37
  I'll start it off. I'm going to go with Errol on
• 29:40
  that one. That Duran argument.
• 29:44
  I award you no points and May God have mercy on your soul.
• 29:48
  The guy won Finals MVP. What are you talking about?
• 29:50
  Twice, twice, twice. He didn't just win one, they won
• 29:54
  two together with him. They were the most ridiculous
• 29:57
  team to ever watch. I look, you're right that I
• 30:00
  don't. I just don't think that fits the
• 30:01
  parameter of the question enough.
• 30:03
  I don't like the the mellow ones.
• 30:05
  I understand it, I just don't think he got to the playoffs
• 30:08
  enough really to like even see how good Mellow could have been.
• 30:13
  I do think he was a choke artist and Ewing.
• 30:15
  I grew up watching him deciding not to do a little finger roll
• 30:19
  instead of just putting his hand down and dunking it against the
• 30:22
  Pacers in 95 and they would have been in the finals 2 straight
• 30:25
  years instead of only one. That was the biggest debacle of
• 30:29
  Ewing's career. So I agree with you on that one.
• 30:31
  But Errol Harden? Hard to argue.
• 30:33
  Embiid, hard to argue. Westbrook, hard to argue.
• 30:37
  A couple of guys that I thought you'd bring up, Karl Malone, I
• 30:40
  wanted. To.
• 30:40
  I wanted to, but I'm not. Going to do that.
• 30:43
  Chamberlain, famously, was nowhere near the player he was
• 30:46
  in the regular season. In the playoffs, they won a
• 30:48
  championship. Julius Randle as Knicks fans
• 30:51
  know all about Julius Randall in the playoffs compared to Julius
• 30:55
  Randall. Brickley.
• 30:57
  Regular season Qi saw you having like an appendicite like and
• 31:02
  beat over there listening to John's Durant take.
• 31:05
  Would you like to go next? No, I'm less speedy because I'm
• 31:07
  probably a little long and speedy.
• 31:09
  Like to go ahead and get it out the way.
• 31:10
  So I usually when you you want to take the title of King of the
• 31:14
  hill, usually want to go 1st. And this was one of the
• 31:16
  instances I think you did because I think James Harden is
• 31:17
  the obvious one because he only went to a Finals as a 6th man
• 31:21
  with the OKC Thunder on a loaded team.
• 31:23
  I think that was the more of the parameters of Errol was taking a
• 31:26
  lot of players that were on those loaded teams.
• 31:27
  Westbrook, another one that was on a lot of loaded teams and
• 31:30
  just fell apart in the playoffs. Definitely the Knicks were
• 31:32
  loaded with Ewing at the time. And yeah, probably should have
• 31:34
  beaten the Rockets butt loaded. Who do they have?
• 31:37
  Charles Smith, Charles Oakley. Anthony.
• 31:39
  Mason. The rock compared to the
• 31:40
  Rockets? No, the Rockets have the two
• 31:42
  best superstars on the team. They had Glide.
• 31:44
  The glide and they had and Elijah Wan.
• 31:47
  Those are two Hall of Famers. The only Hall of Fame in the
• 31:50
  Knicks had was. Patrick Ewing Smith.
• 31:52
  Who's Ewing? Patrick Ewing, I disagree with
• 31:55
  you QS to bring up the UNC guy, but yeah, I would think I am
• 31:58
  sorry, John, I'm going to take Carol here as well.
• 32:02
  Yeah, it it saddens me and it really breaks my heart the pick
• 32:05
  that I have to pick. But yeah, John, I think you took
• 32:08
  a lot of personal shots at the Knicks.
• 32:10
  I didn't really see where you actually dove in into your
• 32:14
  encyclopedia brain of knowledge in the game and whatnot.
• 32:18
  So I thought it was a little personal.
• 32:19
  Then you said something about KD said he only won one title,
• 32:23
  which he won two. He was two times Finals MVP
• 32:26
  would have been three, but he got, you know, him and Clacy
• 32:29
  Thompson toward a where he tore his Achilles and then Klay Tyson
• 32:32
  towards ACL. So I just thought that wasn't a
• 32:34
  fair argument at all. And in regards to helping your
• 32:37
  case, I threw a alley hoop out there for Earl, which was James
• 32:42
  Harden and I mentioned earlier and he took the hint.
• 32:45
  And so if we pay attention to details and I think that, you
• 32:48
  know, that was a part of his strategy of winning this round.
• 32:51
  So I'm a part I'm I'm proud of him for taking on the hint.
• 32:55
  And yeah, I'm about to vote Earl as well in the unanimous
• 32:59
  decision this seat that, you know, you had a bad shoot
• 33:02
  tonight, tonight, you know, and I think that you have way more
• 33:07
  to offer than what you showed up tonight.
• 33:08
  So this playoff performance is probably the biggest let down
• 33:13
  that we've seen from you as well in the last last couple of
• 33:17
  years. You've been killing.
• 33:21
  You're right off nights all right.
• 33:23
  Via a vote of three to nothing, Errol is the king once again.
• 33:29
  The King of what the. King of the Hill.
• 33:33
  Thanks for playing. Well, thank you.
• 33:35
  Thank you very much. Do you want?
• 33:38
  Do you want me to thank everybody?
• 33:40
  Yes, because you've got a unanimous.
• 33:42
  Decision. You're the king.
• 33:43
  You can, you know, talk. You know, it's you're, you got
• 33:45
  the mic. I'm not thanking anybody, Reno.
• 33:48
  I, I, I got to give you some credit.
• 33:50
  You always throw curveballs. You always do.
• 33:53
  You don't care if it's this or that.
• 33:56
  You, you have your own opinion. And I, I love that about you.
• 33:58
  It doesn't matter. I did think you were out of
• 34:00
  control when you said Carmelo Anthony.
• 34:03
  I I mean that that's just out of control.
• 34:05
  It became personal. It was at.
• 34:07
  Least and then and then it. Wasn't look, it wasn't personal,
• 34:11
  but I look at I look at like I will I, I stand on this hill to
• 34:15
  the day I Kevin Durant should have never left OKC like
• 34:18
  100,000%. I agree with 1000%.
• 34:20
  So my thing is for me, if you're going to be great, if you're
• 34:24
  going to be the best, if you're going to be the the you're going
• 34:27
  to talk to talk. Why do you need to go join?
• 34:29
  Steph Curry had already won a title.
• 34:32
  He would have never won. He had already won a title.
• 34:36
  They asked him. To come.
• 34:37
  They were up 31. And they asked him that.
• 34:40
  OK City, OK See was because he could not win.
• 34:44
  He could not do it without two other superstars.
• 34:47
  OK, James Harden got traded right and then he was never
• 34:50
  going to win. The organization was poorly ran.
• 34:53
  He no first round draft picks into now where they building a
• 34:55
  whole nother team in another infrastructure.
• 34:57
  But he was never going to win in OKC.
• 34:59
  He would have been he would have been he would have been the
• 35:04
  James hardest. He would have been all of that
• 35:06
  never got a title. All it was a superstar had an
• 35:09
  MVP, but you don't want to be in that kind.
• 35:12
  Of that's weird though because I was told that they had the best
• 35:14
  leadership ever on that team without Kendrick Perkins, how he
• 35:17
  led that franchise. You just you just took advice
• 35:22
  from probably the worst person in professional basketball
• 35:25
  analysts and knows nothing when it comes to basketball.
• 35:29
  You're in. You're giving compliments to
• 35:31
  perks. That guy doesn't even know his
• 35:33
  ABC's. I please Kendrick Perkins legend
• 35:38
  Kendrick Perkins. Kill legend Kendrick Perkins.
• 35:42
  Oh, he's a legend all right. A legend.
• 35:43
  Of he's a ibuprofen when you got a perk.
• 35:47
  You're right, I could use a perk right now as we speak.
• 35:50
  Oh my God. Holy crap.
• 35:53
  But anyways, I I thought it was crazy with the Kevin Durant
• 35:56
  thing too, but hey, listen. I stand on that hill.
• 35:58
  I stand. On that, you could be bad at the
• 36:00
  decision, but you can't knock the legacy the.
• 36:03
  Thing that what legacy? Let me ask you a question.
• 36:05
  Let me ask you a question cuz we got to.
• 36:07
  Move out. Look.
• 36:07
  And I'm and I'm look what what did he do before Steph?
• 36:10
  I got, I got. What has he done?
• 36:12
  I got a question. Hold on.
• 36:13
  I got a question for you who went to the Hamptons and begged
• 36:17
  Kevin Durant to come there. It was Steph Curry and Draymond,
• 36:22
  but they baked. Him, but I, they baked him on
• 36:25
  that hill that they didn't at the end of the day they got
• 36:28
  tested right they were down 31 they came back and.
• 36:31
  Hold on. And beat Oklahoma City.
• 36:33
  No, they got tested. They didn't leave.
• 36:35
  Hold on. They didn't.
• 36:36
  Hold on, hold on, hold on. I just I got a.
• 36:38
  Curveball for you too. I have a curveball for you.
• 36:41
  Why did they bake Kevin Durant? Because thank you.
• 36:43
  Because they before the year before they lost against LeBron.
• 36:48
  James and it would have kept losing to him.
• 36:51
  That's why they begged him to come there.
• 36:54
  Like there's no curveball here. They would not have lost again
• 36:58
  to LeBron James. It's the bad performance.
• 37:05
  Come on, Jr. Smith missing.
• 37:07
  Did you? Really.
• 37:09
  Break What incident? Jr.
• 37:12
  Smith They were going to win that series.
• 37:14
  That was game one. We really just go.
• 37:17
  They were never going to win. They were never going to win
• 37:19
  that series. But I don't think LeBron James
• 37:22
  would have ever. I don't think they needed Kevin
• 37:23
  Durant still. I still think they could have.
• 37:25
  They wanted Kevin Durant to not go anywhere else, but they
• 37:28
  didn't need him to win. No, Win a championship, not win
• 37:33
  games completely. Disagree.
• 37:34
  With they needed him. That was LeBron.
• 37:36
  He asked about 7:00 if if he didn't get KD.
• 37:39
  And let me ask you a question. And here's another curveball.
• 37:42
  Who won back-to-back MVPS when they did win Kevin Durant?
• 37:46
  Yeah, but again, that's not that's Steph Curry delegating
• 37:49
  the ball like that ain't. Give it to him in the the second
• 37:53
  championship, he literally forced him the whole fourth
• 37:57
  quarter to try to get the fighters MVP because he didn't
• 37:59
  want the narrative that Curry never got the MVP so he
• 38:03
  literally forced him the ball if you go watch the game.
• 38:06
  And by the way, if you look at before Kevin Durant came there
• 38:09
  and even when Kevin Durant was there, Steph Curry statistics in
• 38:13
  the playoffs are not what you call greatness.
• 38:16
  It didn't transition until Kevin Durant left after that, that
• 38:19
  time where he put up those numbers against the Celtics and
• 38:22
  won a championship and won his first MVP in the playoffs.
• 38:25
  I'm just saying that's what's. Out again that last Steph Curry
• 38:30
  has has two titles without Kevin Durant.
• 38:32
  Kevin Durant was never like a needed four Steph Curry win
• 38:36
  titles. Kevin Durant leads the.
• 38:38
  Injuries that it took to get there.
• 38:41
  So wait Johnny, you saying Steph Curry is better than Kevin
• 38:44
  Durant? No, I didn't say that.
• 38:48
  I said Steph Curry is a better. Steph Curry is better sooner.
• 38:50
  I give that. But I'm not saying better.
• 38:51
  No, but I'm saying. I'm saying, I'm saying.
• 38:54
  Kevin Durant, I mean, never went.
• 38:55
  Title without Steph Curry? Never.
• 38:57
  Yeah, but Steph Curry didn't even Durant.
• 38:59
  So on that logic, doesn't that make Steph Curry better?
• 39:02
  I mean, no, you got players that.
• 39:04
  So then why do you care if you went there or not?
• 39:07
  That's my other thing. Like why did you go?
• 39:09
  Then Christian Brown got the All I'm saying is because if he
• 39:13
  could go anywhere else, but why did he go there?
• 39:15
  It was. The best organized basketball
• 39:18
  team that he could play without having to worry about me and the
• 39:21
  leader and directing everybody. That was the best organization
• 39:24
  he could have went to. It was the best.
• 39:26
  It was set up for him to just be able to play basketball like he
• 39:33
  always wanted to do and not be the best scorer, be the best
• 39:53
  rebounder. You don't want to do that.
• 39:57
  That's why, that's why Oklahoma City title, That's why Oklahoma
• 40:01
  Cities title is that much more sweet, because they did it.
• 40:05
  They built A-Team. They built a team.
• 40:06
  They. Didn't and Durants legacy is
• 40:09
  that he's, you know, a mercenary.
• 40:11
  He's a soldier of fortune. He's fired gun.
• 40:14
  Well, they didn't. Just so you know, they didn't
• 40:16
  build a team. The Clippers gave their team.
• 40:19
  They did to OKC. So thank you to the Clippers.
• 40:22
  How many? But how many picks those hey,
• 40:24
  we've seen? Dude.
• 40:25
  They treated. SGA and Williams, they traded
• 40:29
  them both in that. Trade they traded them SGA who
• 40:32
  was already picked and Williams who was drafted with that next
• 40:35
  they. Traded them both and, and, and
• 40:37
  honestly, that changed everything for OKC and it made
• 40:40
  OKC's and the Thunder one of the smartest organizations right now
• 40:44
  in professional basketball. But we got a lot of, we got a
• 40:46
  lot more left. We love you and.
• 40:48
  He's still going to lose to the Spurs, but.
• 40:51
  We'll see about that. We'll.
• 40:52
  Lose the Spurs. I think we can get you back on
• 40:55
  in a couple of weeks to talk about that one.
• 40:57
  Yeah, it's going to happen. Athletes.
• 40:59
  Thanks, Johnny. Johnny Reno, John Boy, very
• 41:04
  interesting as always. Interesting enough that I wanted
• 41:08
  to throw up. So just.
• 41:10
  Anyways, Speaking of throwing up, I'm sure Ranger fans were
• 41:13
  ready to throw up after this. The Toronto Maple Leafs won the
• 41:18
  2026 NHL Draft, the lottery for the third time in team history
• 41:25
  and the first time since drafting Austin Matthews in
• 41:28
  2016. The Leafs came in with the 5th
• 41:32
  best odds at 8.5% and beat out the Rangers and Canucks in the
• 41:38
  final draw despite only having one winning combination.
• 41:44
  The Sharks also made a big leap to get the second overall pick,
• 41:48
  coming in with the 9th best odds at just 5.5 point 2%.
• 41:56
  They have now had a number one OR and a number two overall pick
• 42:02
  in three years in a row. The Canucks will pick at #3
• 42:07
  overall, despite having 14 less points than the next worst team
• 42:12
  in the NHL, which was the Blackhawks.
• 42:14
  The Rangers, who came into the draft with the third best odds
• 42:19
  to get the number one pick, will select 5th overall.
• 42:24
  It is unlikely the defense defenseman, Chase Reed, the
• 42:29
  number one ranked defenseman according to many analysts, will
• 42:32
  be there at #5 Keaton Vanderhoff and Carson Carroll's are the two
• 42:39
  options. If they go defense, Nikita Plop
• 42:43
  off as the winger and Caleb Malhotra at center.
• 42:48
  The Devils and the Islanders didn't move from their original
• 42:52
  spots. The Devils will be drafting at
• 42:54
  #12 and the Islanders at #13. Well, ladies and gentlemen, by
• 43:00
  the way, Keaton Van, if Keaton Vanderhoff is there for the
• 43:04
  Rangers, the Rangers win the draft.
• 43:06
  Just so you know, for Ranger fans, if you're going to be
• 43:08
  crying about this, they might be very, very lucky because I
• 43:14
  believe I watch a lot of college hockey.
• 43:16
  I've been following these guys all season long.
• 43:20
  And I believe and a lot of analysts believe that Keaton
• 43:23
  Vanderhoff is the best defenseman in this class.
• 43:26
  He's 6 foot 4. This guy's got tremendous
• 43:30
  ability, great skating ability. He's a Canadian player, great
• 43:33
  shot, unbelievable defensive player.
• 43:36
  Mean he's going to hit you, he's going to hurt you, You and
• 43:41
  Speedy. We were talking about this, who
• 43:42
  did the Islanders draft at #16 last year, that was Keegan
• 43:46
  Aitchison. OK, now Aitchison right now is
• 43:50
  dominating the OHL. He's moving on in the, in the
• 43:53
  OHL, he was unbelievable. He led OHL defenseman and, and
• 43:57
  practically almost all OHL offensive players at his
• 44:01
  defenseman. Keaton Vanderhoff is like
• 44:05
  Aitchison. He's bigger, he's a little bit
• 44:07
  stronger. Hits like Acheson might not be
• 44:11
  as good of goal scorer, but he's going to develop.
• 44:14
  That's who I think I can compare him to right now.
• 44:17
  He is not Schaefer. If Schaefer was in this draft,
• 44:20
  he would have gone #1 no question.
• 44:22
  He would have been the number one pick in this year's class.
• 44:25
  But McKenna, I know all Ranger fans wanted this guy.
• 44:28
  McKenna. McKenna looks good and we know
• 44:30
  he's going to the Maple Leafs and it's not going to keep
• 44:33
  Austin Matthews there. Austin Matthews don't want to be
• 44:35
  there. What it tells me right now is it
• 44:37
  gives them a reason to trade Austin Matthews in the offseason
• 44:41
  because they're adding a young offensive player and most of his
• 44:44
  teammates in Austin Matthews are not very happy with him on the
• 44:48
  season that he had and really practically giving up on the
• 44:51
  season with the players. There was a lot of stuff going
• 44:53
  in the locker room that was coming out at the end of the
• 44:55
  season. I think Austin Matthews is as
• 44:57
  good as gone. How does this help the Rangers?
• 45:00
  Well, for Ranger fans, you should put a smile on your face
• 45:03
  if you get Keaton Vanderhoff and maybe move to trade for Austin
• 45:09
  Matthews in this draft or trade the number 5 pick and get Austin
• 45:14
  Matthews. They win.
• 45:16
  They win the draft because you're getting an elite player
• 45:20
  at 28 years old who is going to give you 50 goals.
• 45:23
  He's to me, one of the best American born players we've seen
• 45:27
  in a very long time since Mike McDonald.
• 45:29
  I think he's the best. I think he's going to go down as
• 45:31
  the best American born player to ever play the game when he is
• 45:34
  done. If the Rangers want to bring in
• 45:36
  a player that can change their team right away, you go after
• 45:41
  Austin Matthews. So trade that 5th pick and get
• 45:45
  Austin Matthews and then you, you know, that's all you have to
• 45:48
  give up for Austin Matthews, I would think, because you still
• 45:50
  have to take his contract on and you might have to move something
• 45:53
  else. You probably have to reshuffle
• 45:54
  salaries. You have to take somebody else
• 45:56
  that has no tray clause, right? That's and that's what's
• 45:58
  probably going to happen and the Rangers will figure that out.
• 46:00
  I don't trust Chris Drury, but that could happen.
• 46:02
  It would make a lot of sense. Everybody's sitting here on
• 46:05
  Chase Reed. I watch Chase Reed.
• 46:07
  He's a good player. Small.
• 46:09
  They're trying to compare him to Schaefer.
• 46:10
  He is not Matthew Schauer. He's not.
• 46:13
  I've watched enough of him. And I told this to the Beef and
• 46:17
  Beef was crying. Oh, this is rig.
• 46:19
  This is rig. This is rig.
• 46:21
  How is it rigged when they're doing the lottery?
• 46:22
  This isn't the NBA. This isn't any of the MLB.
• 46:26
  They're actually showing you the balls.
• 46:28
  They're showing you what happened, what is happening.
• 46:31
  So I think what I've seen, what Gary Bettman has done with the
• 46:34
  NHL has been amazing. You guys should be happy about
• 46:38
  what the NHL is doing right now. They're changing the game.
• 46:41
  So you sit here and you're complaining about, oh, my poor
• 46:44
  Rangers. The Sharks are set up really,
• 46:49
  really good. They're getting the number two
• 46:51
  pick. They got Misa last year.
• 46:53
  They got one of the most electrifying offensive players
• 46:55
  right now in the NHL. We saw him in the we saw him in
• 46:58
  the the Olympics. We know what he is.
• 47:01
  And now they're they're going to get they're going to get read.
• 47:04
  I'm telling you right now, everybody keeps talking about
• 47:07
  that. This is a loaded draft for
• 47:08
  defenseman. Vanderhoff is Vanderhoff is the
• 47:13
  best defenseman in his class. I'm telling you right now, a lot
• 47:16
  of people believe he's the best player in this class, the best
• 47:20
  player in this class. So you sit here and as a as an
• 47:23
  Islander fan, I'm liking at #13 because there's a lot of players
• 47:27
  that are going to fall to them at #13 some of these guys are
• 47:31
  going to fall out because a lot of these teams that are right
• 47:34
  now on this list, and I'm looking at the list right now,
• 47:36
  I'm going to bring it up. So here it is.
• 47:39
  The Rangers are getting five. So the Maple Leafs, we know
• 47:42
  they're going to go with McKenna.
• 47:44
  The Sharks are not getting Stenberg.
• 47:45
  They don't need him. They're going to drop him.
• 47:47
  Chase Reeb will go there. The Canucks will get Stenberg
• 47:51
  if. And I like Caleb Maholstra.
• 47:54
  I've watched him a little bit. I've seen a little bit of him.
• 47:56
  Don't know much about him. Out of all the guys that he's
• 47:58
  here, he's the fastest center. But he's also undersized too.
• 48:01
  So he's going to probably need a couple.
• 48:03
  I need a year or two to develop. Probably, yeah.
• 48:06
  And Chicago's stupid enough to do this because if I'm Chicago,
• 48:09
  I'm drafting Keaton Vanderhoff. That's I'm doing that.
• 48:12
  I'm, I'm letting if the Rangers, if Keaton Vanderhoff falls to
• 48:16
  the Rangers, the Rangers won the draft.
• 48:18
  I'm telling you right now, Ranger fans, don't be upset.
• 48:21
  You should be very, very happy with Keaton Vanderhoff because I
• 48:24
  think he's, I think he's the best player in this class.
• 48:28
  I I think he's that good. I've watched him play for North
• 48:30
  Dakota this year. He is fun to watch.
• 48:33
  He's mean. And that's what the Rangers
• 48:35
  need. They gave away a mean player.
• 48:36
  They let him to go to Carolina. Made no sense what they did, but
• 48:40
  this guy's better than him. This guy is.
• 48:42
  This guy is going to be a leader.
• 48:44
  He's your future captain. He's a leader.
• 48:46
  He was the leader for North Dakota.
• 48:48
  I, I, I love him now, but look at the teams that are drafting
• 48:51
  after them. I don't trust Calgary.
• 48:53
  I don't trust Seattle. Florida's a great organization.
• 48:57
  They'll draft the right guy. They're a great organization.
• 49:00
  They find and Florida bag of riches.
• 49:02
  They had a one bad season and they they got the number 9 pick
• 49:06
  and and they're going to be guys that falling for him.
• 49:08
  And I don't trust Nashville. I don't trust them at #10 So
• 49:13
  Hemming could fall to the Islanders, Lawrence could fall
• 49:16
  to the Islanders. Smith's can fall to the
• 49:19
  Islanders, who I think is the third best defenseman in this
• 49:22
  class. Not Carols, Albert Smith.
• 49:26
  Smiths, who I watched all season long too, watching him play
• 49:30
  hockey, junior hockey. This kids a special player too.
• 49:33
  Yeah, Smiths is one I've seen a lot of hype on recently.
• 49:36
  He wasn't getting as much I think before the the HL season,
• 49:39
  OHL season. I believe he's from Germany, I
• 49:42
  believe, or Switzerland, one of those countries.
• 49:44
  And I think he got later on hype.
• 49:45
  But yeah, I've seen him above, above Carols as well and even
• 49:50
  some drafts even above Verhof as well.
• 49:52
  Now it's interesting because Verhof is is not because he's a
• 49:55
  bigger guy. Like he's not the skater that
• 49:57
  obviously some of these other ones are yet.
• 49:59
  But that doesn't mean he couldn't develop into that with
• 50:02
  not the raw speed, but just the tactical skating too, because
• 50:04
  we've seen it with I bring up MO Sider as an example of that with
• 50:07
  Detroit. He was expected to fall in his
• 50:09
  draft because he was big and bulkier, but not as good of a
• 50:12
  skater. But he's still a really good
• 50:13
  skater and he's become a really well-rounded good defenseman for
• 50:16
  the Red Wings. And that's, I think the kind of
• 50:18
  player that Verhof I think definitely could be as well.
• 50:20
  And well read, I think it's the consensus probably #1 he's still
• 50:24
  a little on the other undersized size compared to that too.
• 50:27
  Now. He's the best skater.
• 50:27
  He's the best. He's the best tactical one.
• 50:29
  Yeah, I think Verhof could still develop into that.
• 50:32
  So yeah, there's definitely a world where he could be better.
• 50:35
  I think they're both kind of 1A1B right now.
• 50:37
  They're both could be very good players.
• 50:38
  He's 1A and Reed's 1B. And that's why I mentioned on
• 50:43
  the phone a couple days ago, Chicago is the wild card because
• 50:46
  they tend to draft very weird when they've had, obviously he's
• 50:48
  not the number one pick with Bedard, but every other time
• 50:51
  when they've gotten lucky and gotten 2 and 3 picks and teams
• 50:54
  like that, they have a lot of players that they draft
• 50:56
  unconventionally. This guy is going to be called
• 50:58
  up. He's not going to the AHL, He's
• 51:01
  not going to OHL. This guy's going to be called up
• 51:04
  right away. I'm telling you, he's 6 foot
• 51:06
  four, 212 lbs. He's a beast.
• 51:08
  He can skate. He's a good skater for a guy his
• 51:11
  size. He's mean.
• 51:13
  He is a mean player. He played for Team Canada, He
• 51:16
  was one of the leaders for Team Canada.
• 51:18
  I'm telling you right now, Ranger fans, don't be so sad.
• 51:21
  Don't be so sad because I said no matter where the Rangers
• 51:24
  draft from 1:00 to 3:00, if they fall in those, I'm drafting
• 51:28
  Keaton. Well, how do you pronounce
• 51:30
  Verhof? Verhof.
• 51:31
  That's the guy. That's the guy I'm drafting.
• 51:34
  So Ranger fans, you're all upset.
• 51:37
  Cry me a river. You're getting the guy that you
• 51:40
  want you. I'm telling you, he's not
• 51:42
  Matthew Schaefer. He's not.
• 51:44
  And I'm not saying that he is. He's not that.
• 51:47
  He's once in a generational type of player.
• 51:49
  I don't think there's anybody in this draft like him.
• 51:51
  There's not. I'm not saying this because I'm
• 51:52
  an Islander fan. I'm telling you for facts.
• 51:55
  What Matthew Schaefer did this year, we're not going to see
• 51:57
  another defenseman do for a very, very long time.
• 52:01
  It was Brian Leach was the last guy to do that, OK.
• 52:05
  And not even Cole Mccarr did what he did.
• 52:07
  No, not that early in his career, like year three-year 4,
• 52:09
  he started to develop and what Schaefer did this year.
• 52:11
  So just think what Schaefer is going to do next year.
• 52:14
  So I'm not trying to attack the Ranger fans.
• 52:18
  Think about this for all you Ranger fans that are probably
• 52:20
  not listening, listening to this, or they're like, I don't
• 52:23
  want to hear this. Listen to me.
• 52:26
  I am a hockey fan. I know hockey.
• 52:28
  I've watched hockey. I've played hockey at a high
• 52:30
  level. This guy's the real deal.
• 52:32
  I'm telling you right now, he's going to be a star in this
• 52:34
  league. He's going to be a great player.
• 52:37
  He's going to make All Star games and he's going to be your
• 52:39
  future. And.
• 52:40
  And the Rangers haven't drafted a guy this good at his position
• 52:43
  since Brian Leach. That's how good he is.
• 52:45
  So you should be very, very happy to get Keaton Verhoff.
• 52:50
  Yeah. Now the other options, if he's
• 52:51
  gone, if Chicago actually does the right thing that you would
• 52:53
  think that's yeah, that's where you get into a wild card.
• 52:56
  I like my Ultra, too. I just don't know.
• 52:59
  The Rangers, we have had this problems with developing,
• 53:01
  helping Young's homegrown Centers for the longest time.
• 53:04
  They obviously lucked into the bandage because Ottawa.
• 53:06
  Trade him for practically how much you want to bet that if the
• 53:09
  Hultra's there, Mahultra's there and Verhof's there, they draft
• 53:13
  Mahultra? And that's something Chris Jury
• 53:15
  would do because he's an idiot. He's an idiot, he's a Jackass.
• 53:19
  So I wouldn't trust him to do the right to make the right
• 53:22
  thing. I do either.
• 53:24
  But if Verhof is there, you're drafting Verhof.
• 53:28
  I'm telling you guys, I I know hockey, I'm telling you I'm not
• 53:32
  blinded to tell you guys this. He is the real deal.
• 53:35
  He is the real deal. What scares me the most of all
• 53:37
  based on the Rangers loving to draft a lot of these wingers
• 53:39
  too, is taking clap off where they have an overload of the
• 53:42
  wingers that they don't need. And that's the position they had
• 53:44
  a multitude of. And I'm going to tell you this
• 53:45
  right now. If he falls out of the top five,
• 53:48
  Verhof could fall all the way to 10 or maybe even further than
• 53:51
  that. Because there are teams when
• 53:54
  you're looking at when you're looking at analytics and these
• 53:56
  teams are looking at what? We don't want a big guy.
• 53:58
  We don't. I mean, could you imagine him
• 53:59
  fall all the way to 12 or 13 to the the Devils or the Islanders?
• 54:03
  And we've seen this before. It's happened.
• 54:06
  Yeah. I'm going to say with the Devils
• 54:07
  now bringing in AGM that comes from Florida, I think Verhoff
• 54:10
  wouldn't slide past the Devils. Not a chance in hell, because I
• 54:13
  they build on more of the physical guys and Verhoff can
• 54:16
  obviously skate very well. Oh, he's fucking fantastic.
• 54:19
  I'm sorry to curse, but he's fantastic.
• 54:21
  Dude, I watch so many clips to this kid and I told the beef.
• 54:25
  What are you complaining about? Everybody's saying that Keaton's
• 54:27
  going to be there, so if he's going to be there, you jump.
• 54:31
  Dude, I follow 3 or 4 really big NHL prospect guys in in in all
• 54:38
  of hockey and every one of them, three out of the I'm not every
• 54:42
  one of them, three out of the five said Keaton Verhoff is the
• 54:45
  best defenseman in this class. And two out of the five of them
• 54:49
  says he's the best player in this class.
• 54:51
  So what does that tell you? Ranger fans?
• 54:53
  Snag them up. Stop crying that you lost the
• 54:56
  draft and hope Chris Jury makes the right decision.
• 54:59
  Well, yeah, that's the other thing, too.
• 55:00
  Like the Rangers fans, Yeah, they can complain that they fell
• 55:02
  at odds, but there's other teams that have fallen at odds that
• 55:04
  didn't get those kinds of benefits too.
• 55:05
  Look at how many times in Coyotes before they were Utah
• 55:08
  could have gotten the number one pick and they didn't get it.
• 55:10
  Vancouver's are screwed this year recently, and they've been
• 55:13
  screwed in other years as well. I don't know.
• 55:14
  They've had the number one pick since one of the city guys.
• 55:16
  You should be happy that the Maple Leafs are getting the
• 55:18
  first pick. Oh, yeah, because they're going
• 55:20
  to drop us again. They're going to get Jeff
• 55:22
  McKenna and to me McKenna is is not as good as everybody thinks
• 55:26
  he is. I remember Mikey C two years ago
• 55:28
  telling me he's going to be a McDavid type of player.
• 55:31
  And I'm going to tell you this right now, I don't care what
• 55:34
  anybody says, he's not McDavid. He is not Connor McDavid.
• 55:37
  There is nobody that we're going to see in the next three or four
• 55:40
  years that's anywhere close to Connor McDavid.
• 55:43
  So there is a kid that they're talking about.
• 55:45
  He's 13 years old. He's right now in Canada.
• 55:48
  I think he scored 70 something goals playing in the 16 or
• 55:52
  older. They're saying that that kid is
• 55:54
  like the next Sid the kid or McDavid.
• 55:56
  But that's like 3-4 years away, right?
• 55:58
  You know, so, but this kid as much as McKenna is and what
• 56:02
  we've seen in McKenna, I don't think he's as good as everybody
• 56:05
  thinks he is. As a matter of fact, I think
• 56:06
  Steinberg is Stenberg is better than he is at his position and
• 56:10
  especially in the World Championships and what we saw,
• 56:13
  he outplayed McKenna for Team Canada.
• 56:15
  I was going to say too, if Vancouver hypothetically got the
• 56:18
  number one pick, I think they actually might have taken
• 56:20
  Stenberg number one too, because they love to go a lot of
• 56:22
  European players. He's definitely going to
• 56:23
  Vancouver because I San Jose is not going offense.
• 56:27
  They're not, they're not. They have one good defense with
• 56:29
  Ferraro, who's a good young player.
• 56:30
  They're not. They're going Reid.
• 56:32
  Reid's going to and if they were smart, you go Verhof, that's
• 56:36
  where I go. But the Rangers are going to be
• 56:38
  lucky. I'm going to say this.
• 56:39
  The Rangers are going to get lucky and hopefully you pray.
• 56:43
  You pray Ranger fans that they draft Keaton.
• 56:48
  I'm telling you, if they screw this up, it's you need to get
• 56:53
  rid of them tomorrow. I mean get rid of them now
• 56:55
  before. Keaton.
• 56:57
  I'm getting a Keaton jersey. Is that what you're saying,
• 57:00
  Errol? You hope.
• 57:01
  You hope that they don't screw this up because he's the guy,
• 57:04
  he's the guy, he's the right. Guy, how would Jerry screw this
• 57:06
  up? Is he trading down?
• 57:07
  Is that what? He's gonna do.
• 57:08
  He'll drop, clap off. He better not.
• 57:10
  He better not. Whatever he does or whatever he
• 57:13
  decides to do. If this kid is sitting there at
• 57:15
  five, you don't even wait. You make sure you just go up
• 57:19
  there and say Keaton Verhoff, because that's the guy.
• 57:22
  He's a Canadian born player, He's fun to watch, He's mean, he
• 57:27
  hits, he can skate, he can shoot, he can do everything you
• 57:31
  want and he's your future. He's your captain and you talk
• 57:34
  about the future of the New York Rangers.
• 57:36
  You need a guy like that and he's going to be he's going to
• 57:38
  fulfill everything that you need.
• 57:40
  Like I said, he's not a Schaefer.
• 57:41
  He's not Matthew Schaefer, but who is?
• 57:43
  No, he's a he's a guy that reminds me of Aitchison.
• 57:46
  He's he is the spinning image of Aitchison, just a bigger
• 57:50
  Aitchison. Aitchison is probably a little
• 57:52
  bit better as a goal scorer. That's about it.
• 57:54
  But remember, he wasn't supposed to be, by the way, he's
• 57:56
  developed that this year that quickly.
• 57:58
  So we'll see. Keaton and Keaton, Keaton's
• 58:01
  getting called up right away. If the Rangers draft team he is
• 58:04
  right away, he will be up with the NHL team.
• 58:07
  He's special. And I think the Ranger fans will
• 58:09
  be they'll fall in love with him.
• 58:11
  I'll I'll tell Beef. I told Beef, you're going to buy
• 58:13
  his jersey. You're going to you're going to
• 58:15
  get on your hands and knees and you're going to kiss his ass
• 58:17
  because that guy is the right guy and he's he's he's got that
• 58:21
  personality and he knows how to speak.
• 58:23
  By the way, I've seen him on a couple hockey shows, very funny,
• 58:26
  very outgoing, very good leader. North Dakota, North North Dakota
• 58:30
  is they never made it to the Frozen 4I.
• 58:32
  I mean, the last time they went to Frozen 4 was a long time ago.
• 58:35
  Did they not make the tournament this year?
• 58:38
  They did. And why?
• 58:39
  Because of Keaton and Verhof. So I'm telling you, he's that
• 58:43
  good of a player. So that's all I'm going to say
• 58:45
  about that. All right, we'll call this Dial
• 58:47
  it Up. We interrupted this regularly
• 58:49
  scheduled. Hot mix to bring an important
• 58:51
  news we got a. Big broadcast to do here.
• 58:54
  We're about to dial it all it up.
• 58:58
  All right, let's bring, let's bring.
• 59:00
  Let's bring Mr. Ad in. Why not?
• 59:02
  Let's bring him in. He can hang out with us.
• 59:04
  Let's bring him in our new producer.
• 59:07
  All right, bring him in. Here we go.
• 59:10
  Dial it up. Everyone's favorite Lightning
• 59:14
  Round sports segment. We're going to go through a few
• 59:16
  stories. Errol has not seen him yet.
• 59:18
  He's going to. Dial up a take.
• 59:20
  And one of us is going to react to his comments.
• 59:23
  Here we go. First story is this one that we
• 59:28
  talked about about a week and a half ago on The Sports Minute.
• 59:32
  Brendan Sorsby is under investigation.
• 59:35
  He's currently suspended by the NCAA for gambling.
• 59:40
  Apparently he made somewhere around 20,000 bets since 2022.
• 59:48
  I looked up how much money he's in danger of losing if he ends
• 59:53
  up going to the NFL, which is what they're talking about.
• 59:55
  The supplemental draft he'd have to declare by next month and the
• 59:59
  draft is at the end of June, June 30th.
• 1:00:02
  If he gets taken there, whatever round he gets taken, that team
• 1:00:06
  has to forfeit a draft pick in that round.
• 1:00:09
  So if he were to be taken in the third round and no one has been
• 1:00:13
  taken in a supplemental draft since 2019 in the fifth round.
• 1:00:16
  Safety the Cardinals had for about 6 years actually worked
• 1:00:19
  out for them. He would lose, it says here,
• 1:00:22
  anywhere between 10 and $48 million by having to come to the
• 1:00:29
  NFL on a third round thing instead of taking his 5 million
• 1:00:33
  in the NAL, which he's now losing and a potential they were
• 1:00:36
  saying he was in line to be the 8th pick or a top ten pick in
• 1:00:41
  the first round next year. Dial it.
• 1:00:44
  Up here, here's the facts guys, I for the New York Jets sitting
• 1:00:48
  here and sitting pretty. This is the guy I want to bring
• 1:00:50
  in And and here's another thing. I I sit here today and I know a
• 1:00:54
  lot of people would say why are we bringing a guy that bet on
• 1:00:56
  sports? Everybody bets on sports.
• 1:00:58
  You think he's the only one? It's been going on forever.
• 1:01:01
  He got caught, that's all that happened.
• 1:01:04
  He's going to lose money, but he's going to prove himself.
• 1:01:06
  He sits behind Geno Smith. If they bring in Russell Wilson,
• 1:01:09
  he'll sit behind those guys for a year or two.
• 1:01:11
  This guy would probably be The Jets pick a lot of people.
• 1:01:15
  I've read some analytics and what people think that this kick
• 1:01:18
  could be. A lot of these top end analysts
• 1:01:21
  say that this guy could be the best quarterback in next year's
• 1:01:24
  class. He had 2800 yards drawn, 27
• 1:01:28
  touchdowns. He only threw 5 interceptions.
• 1:01:32
  This guy can move outside of the pocket.
• 1:01:34
  Guess what his passing rating over 155.1.
• 1:01:38
  Accurate as hell. I'm, I'm telling you right now,
• 1:01:42
  if The Jets are sitting in this, in this draft and he decides to
• 1:01:46
  go into this draft, who cares about the money?
• 1:01:48
  He's going to win himself a lot of money because he's gonna sit
• 1:01:50
  behind for a couple of years, learn the position and then sit
• 1:01:54
  pretty because he's going to have Cooper to throw to.
• 1:01:56
  He's going to have Sonic to throw to.
• 1:01:58
  He's going to have Taylor to throw to.
• 1:02:00
  He's got Bruce Hall. He's got a good young offensive
• 1:02:02
  line who's better than him and who's better than the New York
• 1:02:06
  Jets. They can take their three first
• 1:02:07
  round draft picks next year and use it for players to fill.
• 1:02:11
  And by the way, The Jets have $150 million off the cap next
• 1:02:15
  year. Who's better than the New York
• 1:02:18
  Jets slam dunk, go after Soresby?
• 1:02:22
  Yeah, Soresby's a guy that had a lot of good traits that you
• 1:02:24
  definitely are encouraged by Cincinnati transitioning to the
• 1:02:27
  Big 12 after they were in the American Athletic Conference for
• 1:02:30
  a while, too. And he still played well amidst
• 1:02:32
  that. Again, I think if he declared
• 1:02:34
  just directly in this NFL draft or even the draft last year
• 1:02:37
  where he was still eligible, I think he wouldn't have been
• 1:02:38
  ready yet. But I think this situation now,
• 1:02:41
  you could get to the red shirt with an NFL team or play for a
• 1:02:43
  Texas Tech team that lost a lot of pieces.
• 1:02:46
  They got a lot of guys drafted in this draft.
• 1:02:48
  So I think it would have been stuck for him either way going
• 1:02:50
  into a loaded draft already where you're dealing with,
• 1:02:52
  obviously we talked about Arch Manning and Dante Moore.
• 1:02:54
  There's other guys that are going to do you draft him if
• 1:02:56
  you're The Jets. I I wouldn't mind taking a
• 1:02:59
  flyer. I think taking a flyer on a guy
• 1:03:01
  that's going to be a first round he's he's, again, he's raw.
• 1:03:04
  And that's they're raw raw. So is Arch Manning.
• 1:03:07
  They're all saying he's a raw player.
• 1:03:10
  They're all raw. You're raw until you step on an
• 1:03:12
  NFL football field, am I right? Q.
• 1:03:14
  Am I? Right.
• 1:03:16
  You're right, based on what we know.
• 1:03:17
  Yes, you don't know what they. Are and that sads my heart that
• 1:03:21
  I have to agree with him, Speedy.
• 1:03:22
  But yeah, he's right on this one.
• 1:03:25
  So then how about I give you the counterpoint?
• 1:03:28
  You always say Mark Sanchez needed to stay in college for
• 1:03:31
  another year. Yes.
• 1:03:32
  He wasn't ready. Yes.
• 1:03:33
  Well, then why would Soresby be ready?
• 1:03:35
  He's not being allowed to stay in college the year he needs.
• 1:03:38
  Two years, you're going to have him sit down, He'll come in,
• 1:03:41
  he'll sit behind Geno Smith and Russell Wilson.
• 1:03:43
  Whoever they, if they bring Russell Wilson in, they don't
• 1:03:45
  have to rush him in. Next year.
• 1:03:47
  You bring him in, in the middle of the season.
• 1:03:49
  Geno Smith will have one more year left on his contract.
• 1:03:52
  He will be ready. Sitting behind those guys,
• 1:03:55
  learning behind those guys and having all the young talent
• 1:03:58
  around and building relationships.
• 1:04:00
  I, I'm telling you right now, Sorsby's going to if, if he goes
• 1:04:03
  back to college and he gets drafted this year, The Jets are
• 1:04:06
  drafting him anyways. I think The Jets really like him
• 1:04:09
  and I think you get him as as a steal a first round talent for a
• 1:04:12
  third round pick who's better than them?
• 1:04:15
  They'll win. They don't have to use that pick
• 1:04:17
  next year on that. They could go after the the kid
• 1:04:20
  from Ohio State. They could go after the the wide
• 1:04:22
  receiver. What's his name again?
• 1:04:24
  Jeremiah Smith. Jeremiah Smith.
• 1:04:25
  They could get the the best wide receiver, the most game changing
• 1:04:28
  wide receiver we've seen come out of the draft.
• 1:04:30
  They well, who would be better? Salisbury will be laughing to
• 1:04:33
  the bank. He'll have Cooper What?
• 1:04:35
  Are you going to do with Cade? What are you going to do with
• 1:04:37
  Cade? What do you mean Cade?
• 1:04:38
  What? Your daughter.
• 1:04:40
  Dude, he's, he's a, he's a fourth round draft pick.
• 1:04:43
  I I don't think he's going to be anything more than a backup
• 1:04:47
  quarterback. That's it.
• 1:04:48
  He shouldn't have declared this year, yeah.
• 1:04:50
  Anytime you got a you got a chance to make a degenerate
• 1:04:53
  gambler the leader of your franchise that by the time he
• 1:04:55
  turns 20. Three typical typical giants.
• 1:04:57
  Got by the time we got a playoff, got to do.
• 1:05:01
  It great jets move great jets. Less on the game channel, it's
• 1:05:03
  more that he's bumped around many different teams.
• 1:05:06
  We've never seen someone in a situation like this.
• 1:05:08
  He could owe money to the Lucchesi crime family for all we
• 1:05:11
  know. Here we go.
• 1:05:13
  Let's take a look at a take that I know I wanted Q to take a look
• 1:05:17
  at. So we have this one.
• 1:05:19
  This is from Bill Simmons of the Ringer.
• 1:05:21
  He's obviously the Super fan of the Celtics.
• 1:05:24
  How he got his start. He blew a gasket about the great
• 1:05:29
  coaching of Joe Missoula. Basically Joe Missoula when he
• 1:05:34
  talks to him after the games, he's just like, yeah, the guys
• 1:05:36
  were open, they just didn't hit the shots.
• 1:05:38
  At some point, maybe they're leaving the guys open for a
• 1:05:42
  reason is basically Simmons argument.
• 1:05:46
  He was not happy with a number of things that Missoula did in
• 1:05:49
  the series, including, you know, punting on the bench and going
• 1:05:53
  to a short rotation. Despite the fact they had
• 1:05:56
  success with the bench all season.
• 1:05:58
  They kind of went back to the over reliance on three pointers,
• 1:06:00
  although they didn't have as many any good 3 point shooters
• 1:06:03
  as they did a couple years ago when they won.
• 1:06:06
  And then going with a line up, queue Baylor Shireman, Luke
• 1:06:10
  Garza and Ron Harper in the starting line up of game 7A line
• 1:06:14
  up they had never done at all once in the entire season.
• 1:06:18
  Predictably, it didn't work and Simmons might have a point here.
• 1:06:22
  Errol, what do you think? Dial it off.
• 1:06:25
  It's pretty simple. I could care less what Bill
• 1:06:28
  Simmons has or has to say. What does he know?
• 1:06:31
  He's what, 6 foot, 5 foot 10? It doesn't matter how tall he
• 1:06:35
  is. He don't play basketball.
• 1:06:37
  And Missoula, whatever. Missoula, to me, he's won a
• 1:06:42
  championship and this guy was looked at as possibly coach of
• 1:06:46
  the year. Now all of a sudden you're going
• 1:06:48
  to take shots at him because the team just had no depth and he
• 1:06:51
  played guys that he had to play. He didn't have a healthy Tatum.
• 1:06:55
  He, Jaylen Brown, is all over the place making excuses.
• 1:06:59
  Here's the facts. Why is Bill Simmons opening his
• 1:07:02
  mouth? He doesn't know anything of
• 1:07:04
  anything. Go ahead.
• 1:07:04
  Because his father took him to basketball games and he became a
• 1:07:08
  Celtic fan because of that. I could care less what Bill
• 1:07:11
  Simmons has to say. What he needs to do is he needs
• 1:07:14
  to bend over and I'll take a Celtic paddle and I'll beat him
• 1:07:16
  on the ass. Because I could care less what
• 1:07:18
  little Bill Simmons has to say about the Boston Celtics.
• 1:07:22
  Yeah. Listen, we're we're going to
• 1:07:25
  stick to just covering the support.
• 1:07:27
  But listen, Joe was playing with house money this year.
• 1:07:31
  This team was predicted to go nowhere at the start of the year
• 1:07:35
  and then they ended up overachieving in so many
• 1:07:37
  different areas. I agree with them and some of
• 1:07:40
  the points switching the lineups I think.
• 1:07:42
  You don't agree with the paddle, I think you don't agree with
• 1:07:44
  that. You don't agree with.
• 1:07:46
  The paddle so I think some of the.
• 1:07:47
  Boys never make. Money, Errol, Why do you want us
• 1:07:50
  to not make money? That guy has money that we could
• 1:07:52
  get one day and you just don't want us to ever get.
• 1:07:54
  Money. I don't need anything for Bill
• 1:07:56
  Simmons. I'll just give him a pack.
• 1:07:57
  That's not a lot of money. Yeah.
• 1:07:59
  So I think that at the end of the day, I think the the such is
• 1:08:03
  proved that analytics isn't everything.
• 1:08:05
  And I think they overly called in on the analytics that was
• 1:08:10
  shooting too many threes. And everybody knows we are our
• 1:08:12
  hit and miss and live or die by the three.
• 1:08:15
  We'll shoot the three if we own, we're going to blow you out by
• 1:08:17
  30 if we all if you have a chance to beat us by 510 and so
• 1:08:21
  on and so on. So I think Joe Missoula and and
• 1:08:24
  that staff proved that analytics isn't everything and then at
• 1:08:27
  some point you're going to have to coach.
• 1:08:28
  But again, I think they were playing my house money and at
• 1:08:31
  the end of the day, nobody was expecting us to do nothing.
• 1:08:33
  It was just a shock that the fact that we was up 31 and we
• 1:08:36
  blew that lead. Oh, stop.
• 1:08:38
  With this stop. With this, nobody thought they
• 1:08:40
  were going to be. They thought it, you thought it.
• 1:08:42
  That's not the reason. Why I wore it?
• 1:08:43
  I'm a fan. There's a difference and I'm not
• 1:08:46
  and I'm not kissing Bill Simmons ass for for anything.
• 1:08:49
  You don't have to. You don't have to be gay.
• 1:08:51
  You don't have. What makes it gay?
• 1:08:54
  Paddling in the ass. What do you mean?
• 1:08:57
  What makes it gay? What makes it gay?
• 1:09:00
  Wait, hold on one second. Hold on.
• 1:09:01
  One second. Hold on.
• 1:09:03
  Hold on. Hold on.
• 1:09:04
  Hold on. That has nothing to do with it.
• 1:09:05
  Think about it this way. Hold on.
• 1:09:07
  No, it's not. You guys obviously don't
• 1:09:08
  understand when you go to a private school.
• 1:09:11
  Hold on when you go to a private school.
• 1:09:13
  And if you know anything about Bill Simmons, because he said he
• 1:09:15
  went to a private school and he used to do a lot of bad things.
• 1:09:18
  He used to get paddled in the ass.
• 1:09:19
  You think I don't know what I'm talking about?
• 1:09:21
  Fish, you need to be quiet. I actually know what I'm talking
• 1:09:24
  about if I'm bringing something up.
• 1:09:26
  What are you talking? About you're just ridiculously
• 1:09:28
  gross. Everyone knows.
• 1:09:29
  I don't care what you're saying. I I care what I say because I
• 1:09:32
  know what Bill Simmons does and I know what he said.
• 1:09:34
  I watch the Celtic. Hold on.
• 1:09:36
  Well, I do. I watch the whole Celtic story.
• 1:09:39
  I, I hold on. I heard the whole Celtic story.
• 1:09:42
  I watched the the documentary and I heard what Bill Simmons
• 1:09:45
  said. So you're going to sit here and
• 1:09:47
  tell me, oh, you'll be gay? No, He said he used to get a
• 1:09:50
  paddle in the ass every time he went to private school because
• 1:09:52
  he wanted to watch the the game. So what did I say?
• 1:09:54
  He needs to be smacked in the ass with a paddle because he
• 1:09:57
  doesn't know what he's talking about.
• 1:09:58
  That just shows you how stupid you are, Fish.
• 1:10:01
  Now go on. I'm pretty sure you sounded more
• 1:10:04
  dumb than me. We're going to move on to the
• 1:10:05
  next topic right here, and it's a hockey one.
• 1:10:08
  This is real dumb. Somehow the Maple Leafs
• 1:10:11
  benefited and got the first pig, but they hired a new general
• 1:10:15
  manager and it set off all of the Canadian hockey.
• 1:10:21
  Sports media lost their mind about this guy.
• 1:10:24
  Conduct detrimental to the league.
• 1:10:26
  The league made him lose his job.
• 1:10:28
  He was basically trying to get other jobs while still being the
• 1:10:31
  general manager in Arizona before they moved.
• 1:10:35
  He was doing a legal draft testing.
• 1:10:38
  Anyway, the Toronto media really pissed off saying it's a sham
• 1:10:41
  hiring. He's a con artist and they hired
• 1:10:45
  Matt Sundino. You mentioned a minute ago
• 1:10:46
  Speedy, you know, as senior executive advisor.
• 1:10:50
  A lot of people are saying he is being used as a deodorant to get
• 1:10:53
  rid of the stink of Sheka Errol. This is a weird hockey story
• 1:10:58
  that you have to be really dialed into the Canadian media I
• 1:11:03
  think here. Dial it up.
• 1:11:05
  I actually heard this story and very interesting.
• 1:11:08
  I love Matt Sandean. I watched him play hockey for
• 1:11:11
  many, many years at a high level and he knows hockey.
• 1:11:14
  I think what they're doing is they're bringing in this guy
• 1:11:17
  because he he did some good things in Arizona, but also
• 1:11:20
  didn't do the right things at the end of his time in Arizona.
• 1:11:23
  Nobody wanted to hire this guy. I know that the Islanders were
• 1:11:26
  interested in hiring or even interviewing him and they
• 1:11:29
  decided to pass up on him. The fact here is we don't know
• 1:11:33
  what this guy is. And he went to an Arizona team
• 1:11:35
  that had nothing there. There was nothing there.
• 1:11:38
  And then they go to Utah and and they transition.
• 1:11:41
  I think that you look at the Maple Leafs right now, they
• 1:11:44
  can't go wrong with no matter what they do.
• 1:11:46
  They they won the drift. If anything, this the NHL made
• 1:11:50
  sure and I don't believe in, I don't believe in these bowls and
• 1:11:54
  they were cheating and stuff like that.
• 1:11:55
  But the NHL somehow gave the Maple Leafs an opportunity not
• 1:11:59
  to screw this up because I don't know what McKenna is going to
• 1:12:03
  be. I think he'll be a good player.
• 1:12:04
  I don't know if he'll be an elite player like everybody
• 1:12:06
  thinks he's going to be, but if he isn't, you're going to see
• 1:12:10
  this whole story come back again about this guy.
• 1:12:14
  This guy, they brought him in. He made the wrong decisions.
• 1:12:17
  But everybody and their mother thinks McKenna should go number
• 1:12:20
  one. I don't.
• 1:12:21
  But it's just to me, it's it's a hit or miss.
• 1:12:24
  You don't know what these GMs are going to be.
• 1:12:26
  Look, Lee, everybody hated Leon Rose.
• 1:12:28
  They were, they were jumping out of a building.
• 1:12:31
  They really were. When Liam Rose came to the New
• 1:12:33
  York Knicks, they're like, you're bringing in an agent.
• 1:12:35
  He doesn't know anything about basketball.
• 1:12:37
  Then he decided to bring in Worldwide W.
• 1:12:38
  Then he bring all these executives with them.
• 1:12:40
  And look, Leon Rose has changed the New York Knicks in five
• 1:12:44
  years to one of the worst organizations in all of sports,
• 1:12:48
  to one of the best basketball teams in basketball.
• 1:12:51
  That says a lot. You can't always judge what you
• 1:12:54
  see. You got to believe in what your
• 1:12:56
  organization is doing. I don't think this is a good
• 1:12:59
  move, but maybe I'm wrong. It's also one of those things
• 1:13:02
  where the reason he got suspended was a a conduct that
• 1:13:07
  was doing fitness tests and like hard workouts that were beyond
• 1:13:11
  the combine thing, which is also in a way hindering other teams
• 1:13:14
  too. And Fish says maybe we're
• 1:13:15
  bringing up like here, he's the GM of the Coyotes, but he's also
• 1:13:19
  doing things to these prospects that are hurting these other
• 1:13:21
  teams. And we saw a college football
• 1:13:24
  coach with with Maryland, the one before lock save DJ
• 1:13:28
  something DJ Durbin or something like that actually get fired
• 1:13:30
  because he was fish. I don't know if you've had
• 1:13:33
  instances with other coaches that were like these players are
• 1:13:35
  getting overheated because they were overworking him in the
• 1:13:37
  summer. Like that's what essentially
• 1:13:39
  what he's doing, the hockey equivalent to these NHL
• 1:13:41
  prospects. In addition to the fact that he
• 1:13:42
  was tampering in certain instances in 2018 and 2019 as
• 1:13:47
  well. And I was talking about it
• 1:13:48
  before, like maybe the Coyotes got punished for that reason.
• 1:13:50
  Maybe they didn't get the number one pick that they could have
• 1:13:52
  gotten another years because he was there and he didn't serve as
• 1:13:54
  AGM for five years now because of this.
• 1:13:56
  So yeah, it definitely looks a little bit shady on the Maple
• 1:13:58
  Leafs part, but it's the Maple Leafs.
• 1:13:59
  They're going to get away with things because the Maple Leafs.
• 1:14:02
  Errol, it kind of reminds me, you brought up somebody, the guy
• 1:14:05
  that that I always thought of that got a terrible reputation
• 1:14:09
  and didn't deserve it was our friend of this show, Neil Smith.
• 1:14:12
  I was just about to say that. Why isn't Neil Smith getting
• 1:14:15
  offered another job? Neil Smith knows hockey just as
• 1:14:18
  good as anybody and he won the Stanley Cup and since then he's
• 1:14:21
  not gotten another job. The Island just hired him for
• 1:14:23
  what, 5 minutes? They bring in Mike Millbury.
• 1:14:26
  Look how great that was sensational.
• 1:14:29
  Thank you Islander fans. We we've seen bad hockey.
• 1:14:32
  Finally, Lou Lamarella decides to step away sleeping.
• 1:14:34
  Lou and ownership actually brought in a guy in Darsh who I
• 1:14:37
  think actually knows what he's doing.
• 1:14:39
  So. All right, let's go on to the
• 1:14:41
  next one. We got 2 left.
• 1:14:43
  You know, I was going to throw a Giants one in there, of course.
• 1:14:46
  Oh, yeah. The New York Football Giants
• 1:14:49
  have completed the defense. They have signed the guy that
• 1:14:55
  everyone was projecting on the sign when they didn't take a
• 1:14:57
  real defensive tackle until the 6th round in the draft.
• 1:15:01
  DJ Reader. It's going to be their nose
• 1:15:03
  tackle. The deal says it's two year base
• 1:15:07
  value of 12 and a half million and 5.25 guaranteed could go up
• 1:15:13
  to 15 1/2 with incentives. He played for the Lions last
• 1:15:18
  couple of years, was pretty good for the Lions.
• 1:15:21
  He's one of the better run stoppers in the league.
• 1:15:23
  Not bad against the pass when he's out there, but really A2
• 1:15:26
  down player for the most part. They're going to use him to
• 1:15:29
  replace Dexter Lawrence in first and second down situations.
• 1:15:34
  Errol. I don't know who made the
• 1:15:36
  choice. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Joe
• 1:15:37
  Shane though. Dial it off.
• 1:15:40
  Now rage, I'm, I'm sorry, Giant fans are sitting here today and
• 1:15:43
  they're like, oh, we got DJ Reader.
• 1:15:46
  It's, it's okay. We, we added a, a great pass
• 1:15:49
  rusher at #5 we added a great offensive lineman.
• 1:15:52
  We're winning, we're winning. We're going to bring in DJ
• 1:15:55
  Reader, but you lost Dexter Lawrence.
• 1:15:58
  OK, this guy, DJ Reader is not Dexter Lawrence.
• 1:16:02
  He doesn't get triple teamed and quadruple teamed and, and draws
• 1:16:07
  people to him to open up seams for their other pass rushers.
• 1:16:11
  This guy's a completely different player now.
• 1:16:13
  Doesn't mean he's not a good player.
• 1:16:14
  It doesn't mean he's not a good addition to the defense.
• 1:16:17
  He is, but he is not Dexter Lawrence.
• 1:16:20
  For Giant fans to come out and say, I remember, by the way,
• 1:16:23
  shout out to Nathan, he came out.
• 1:16:25
  There's a good move. There's a good move.
• 1:16:26
  Really. OK, here's my thought.
• 1:16:28
  In 2025, he played 17 games, right?
• 1:16:32
  He had eleven solo tackles. How many sacks did this guy
• 1:16:35
  have? 00.
• 1:16:37
  And you're going to sit here and you're going to tell me Dexter
• 1:16:40
  Lawrence, who was not healthy last year, how many sacks did he
• 1:16:42
  have? Speedy, I rest my case.
• 1:16:45
  He's. Same thing.
• 1:16:47
  The same thing. I rest my case A.
• 1:16:49
  Half a SEC. I'm I'm talking about how many
• 1:16:52
  tackles did he have? Is about the same.
• 1:16:55
  No, it's not. He's not.
• 1:16:57
  He's not the same. You're going to compare DJ
• 1:16:59
  Reader to Dexter Lawrence. No, he's not Dexter Lawrence.
• 1:17:01
  He's not. But I'll tell you what, there
• 1:17:03
  was one player who had more double teams last year than
• 1:17:06
  Dexter Lawrence, and it was DJ Reader.
• 1:17:08
  You're wrong about that. DJ Reader was at 71.7%, the only
• 1:17:12
  player higher than Dexter Lawrence.
• 1:17:14
  I will tell you guys this for giant fans out there that are
• 1:17:17
  going to sit here and try to make.
• 1:17:19
  DJ, are you going to let me give the case or you're just going to
• 1:17:21
  cut me off before I? Because I know what you're going
• 1:17:23
  to say. You're going to make it all
• 1:17:25
  happy to. Know what I'm going?
• 1:17:26
  To say happy go lucky, happy go lucky.
• 1:17:29
  It's raining. We're.
• 1:17:31
  Gonna do. That's what we're gonna bring.
• 1:17:32
  Happy go lucky or I'll give you happy go lucky defense is said
• 1:17:37
  all the pieces of now. Watch this, ladies and
• 1:17:39
  gentlemen. What a choke.
• 1:17:40
  The edges All Pro level edges Brian Burns, second team All Pro
• 1:17:45
  last year on one edge you got Abdul Carter led the league in
• 1:17:50
  quick pressures. On the other edge, you just got
• 1:17:52
  the number five overall pick, R Valreese, playing Will
• 1:17:55
  linebacker on that. Defense and he's going to be
• 1:17:57
  doing. All sorts of crazy things.
• 1:17:59
  Jermaine Edmonds can be the green dot for that defense.
• 1:18:03
  My goodness. What?
• 1:18:04
  Who, Where are they coming from? Shelby Harris, an extra 3 Tech
• 1:18:07
  veteran presence. He's going to coach those boys
• 1:18:10
  up, going to bring them along on the inside and that's just the
• 1:18:13
  front seven. I haven't even gotten into the
• 1:18:15
  secondary. We're going to see a resurgent
• 1:18:18
  year, resurgent year out of Tay Banks.
• 1:18:21
  He's going to come back. Just wait till you see him.
• 1:18:24
  Could somebody mute this guy over here?
• 1:18:26
  Are we really sick? You said happy go.
• 1:18:29
  Lucky you didn't. Want to You're on drugs.
• 1:18:32
  You've lost your freaking mind. This because I've been.
• 1:18:35
  Listening to you for the last four.
• 1:18:36
  Hours. That's fine, that's fine.
• 1:18:38
  At least I make my points and not sit here and kiss my inject
• 1:18:41
  him with something. I'm not going to kiss my team's
• 1:18:43
  ass. I'm not going to sit here and
• 1:18:44
  say, dude, you're. Sorry.
• 1:18:46
  I'll give blue to my doofence. Give me some red hots because I
• 1:18:51
  need some Chili Peppers, baby. This is ridiculous.
• 1:18:54
  Java used to do popcorn promos. Should I do Raisin promos for
• 1:18:57
  you? Now I need some chili so I could
• 1:19:00
  fart my way out of this crap. I'll give you the real football
• 1:19:05
  take. This is real.
• 1:19:06
  The nose tackle position is not all that important compared to
• 1:19:10
  other defensive line position because it's a 2 down position.
• 1:19:13
  You can cobble together that position with a run stopper and
• 1:19:16
  you can get some guys in pass rush situations.
• 1:19:18
  You can put Thibodeau in, you know, play on the edge and then
• 1:19:21
  have Abdul Carter inside knifing in.
• 1:19:23
  You could have Reese knifing and you could do all sorts of things
• 1:19:26
  with those guys and mess around with it in a NASCAR type of a
• 1:19:28
  package, especially if you're going 425.
• 1:19:31
  So I think there's a lot they could do.
• 1:19:33
  Dexter Lawrence was a luxury, obviously, but it's not like
• 1:19:37
  they can't make up what he. Who's their defensive
• 1:19:39
  coordinator? Who's their defensive
• 1:19:40
  coordinator? Is a better guy than they had
• 1:19:42
  last. Who is their defensive?
• 1:19:44
  Coordinator. Wilson.
• 1:19:44
  OK. And how many times and how long
• 1:19:47
  was he a defensive coordinator in the NFL?
• 1:19:49
  He was a coordinator last couple years.
• 1:19:52
  Where was he Speedy last couple years?
• 1:19:53
  Replacing St. Bowen.
• 1:19:54
  You don't even know where he was.
• 1:19:56
  You don't even know where he was.
• 1:19:57
  Sorry I wasn't at the top of my head.
• 1:19:58
  Just saying you had no idea where he was.
• 1:20:02
  That to me, settles everything for you giant fans.
• 1:20:06
  That's what settles it. You don't listen to the whole
• 1:20:08
  argument. You don't refute a single point.
• 1:20:10
  You try to do a gotcha on me that I don't have a gotcha.
• 1:20:14
  But immediately I asked our a resident stat guru and he tells
• 1:20:19
  me immediately and you just. Gotcha.
• 1:20:21
  My entire argument. Gotcha.
• 1:20:22
  That's not God, that's lame. You didn't.
• 1:20:24
  Even want to fight the. Argument Lame.
• 1:20:27
  We got one left. Calamity on that last one for
• 1:20:30
  Errol. I guess he's the king though.
• 1:20:32
  Here it is. This is the one of the craziest
• 1:20:34
  stories going. I don't know if you've seen
• 1:20:36
  this, but Alec Baum having a terrible year for the Phillies.
• 1:20:41
  You know, third baseman, there's this crazy story out there right
• 1:20:46
  now. It's been going on for a while.
• 1:20:47
  He's suing his parents. It's actually pretty fun.
• 1:20:50
  For mismanaging funds. Let me give you the full details
• 1:20:53
  on it. So in late March, he filed a
• 1:20:56
  civil lawsuit of at least three million in damages against his
• 1:20:59
  parents for misappropriation of finances.
• 1:21:02
  He said that they've been charged with handling his
• 1:21:04
  earnings since he started in the league in 2018, but they had
• 1:21:08
  been siphoning money through LLC starting the following year.
• 1:21:13
  They blocked his access to some of his funds According to him
• 1:21:17
  and freezing him out of four accounts and bomb fired Scott
• 1:21:21
  Boris because his parents pressured him into hiring Boris.
• 1:21:26
  What he's saying under considerable duress.
• 1:21:29
  The parents are are trying to get the case thrown out and have
• 1:21:32
  categorically denied any wrongdoing that they were only
• 1:21:36
  just trying to help their son. But he had all full access to
• 1:21:40
  accounts and if he ever wanted to look, he should have been
• 1:21:43
  able to. This story is just absolutely
• 1:21:46
  bizarre. It's pending the stories of
• 1:21:49
  parents and kids. You know, sometimes this does
• 1:21:51
  happen. I don't know if it's actually
• 1:21:53
  happening in this case right here.
• 1:21:56
  What have you heard? Dial it up.
• 1:21:59
  It's actually pretty funny and it reminds me of a lot of
• 1:22:02
  different things that have happened in the past with many
• 1:22:04
  different players. This is not a funny story, but
• 1:22:07
  does anybody remember the former Minnesota Twins pitcher Dan
• 1:22:11
  Safini? Remember him?
• 1:22:12
  He was sentenced after killing killing his father-in-law.
• 1:22:16
  Remember that that story and because you know, he's just out
• 1:22:21
  of his mind. I'm not saying this guys going
• 1:22:23
  to kill his parents, but it it seems like he's just an idiot.
• 1:22:27
  Why would you leave? And it's the same thing with the
• 1:22:29
  Shay Otani thing. Shay Ohtani didn't know where
• 1:22:32
  his money was going. Get out of here.
• 1:22:34
  You have 6 accounts. It was.
• 1:22:35
  It was said that he has 6 accountants.
• 1:22:37
  You're going to tell me your accountants don't know how to
• 1:22:39
  count numbers? Get out of here.
• 1:22:41
  You knew where your money was going.
• 1:22:43
  You just plain stupid. And baseball just tried to
• 1:22:46
  protect you because you are Shay Ohtani.
• 1:22:48
  You're an international superstar.
• 1:22:50
  This story. Who the hell is Alex Bohm?
• 1:22:53
  Who the hell is he? You're sitting here today and
• 1:22:56
  you're trying to pinpoint, well, what is he doing with his money
• 1:22:59
  or what did his parents do with his money?
• 1:23:00
  Oh, he fired his his, his agent or fired whoever.
• 1:23:04
  Here's what you do if you're making money like that.
• 1:23:08
  Millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• 1:23:12
  You have a way to check your statistics of money.
• 1:23:16
  You, you, you go out there, you look at the numbers, your
• 1:23:19
  finances, understand where your money's going.
• 1:23:21
  It's going here. It's going there.
• 1:23:22
  You don't let your parents run your crap.
• 1:23:24
  Are you a little kid or you, you 5 years old and Mommy, Daddy,
• 1:23:28
  give me my lunch money. I need my lunch money.
• 1:23:31
  This is ridiculous. This is this is stupidity.
• 1:23:34
  The kids an idiot. He deserves everything that he's
• 1:23:36
  getting, honestly. And who trusts Scott?
• 1:23:39
  Boris who the hell trust that idiot?
• 1:23:42
  That guy steals, steals steals. The guys stolen so much money
• 1:23:46
  and he drips people off. It's a joke, honestly.
• 1:23:50
  Don't cry me a river. If you want to cry me a river.
• 1:23:53
  Play whatever you want. Play the music.
• 1:23:55
  Play some Billy Joel. Remember that.
• 1:23:57
  I I I mean, seriously, I I have no idea what this kid is doing
• 1:24:00
  with his money, and he's stupid. That's it.
• 1:24:03
  Yeah. I wonder what the context is
• 1:24:05
  going to be about. Like, why he would have used it
• 1:24:07
  anyway. Like, you're giving your parents
• 1:24:09
  and you're becoming a baseball player.
• 1:24:10
  You're giving your parents your right to this.
• 1:24:12
  You know, they're going to want to, like, do some stuff with
• 1:24:14
  them and have something where they can benefit as well.
• 1:24:17
  So I wonder what the purpose of it was, maybe.
• 1:24:20
  I mean, obviously doing it behind the scenes maybe doesn't
• 1:24:22
  look bad on the on the parents part.
• 1:24:23
  But yeah, I wonder maybe there could have been more security.
• 1:24:26
  Maybe there could have been ways that you could have managed it a
• 1:24:28
  little better. And I think boom, for somebody
• 1:24:31
  that isn't making a huge contract anyway, maybe turned
• 1:24:33
  out Boris for that reason, like he's making a lower end third
• 1:24:36
  base money because he's an average third baseman.
• 1:24:38
  And you would think you'd be more careful with that kind of
• 1:24:40
  thing. And maybe if you knew something
• 1:24:43
  like that was going to happen, get the security, get better.
• 1:24:45
  That's nothing to do with it. Allen Iverson didn't know how to
• 1:24:47
  control his money and he went bankrupt.
• 1:24:50
  You don't know how to control your money.
• 1:24:51
  It goes fast. Hundreds of millions of dollars
• 1:24:54
  is nothing when you can go out there and help your buddies,
• 1:24:57
  help your mother, your sister. Everybody needs money.
• 1:25:00
  Everybody thinks that you're making money and you think it's
• 1:25:02
  endless money. Eventually it goes, it
• 1:25:05
  disappears. You got to be smart with your
• 1:25:06
  money. Allen Iverson came out and said
• 1:25:08
  it on his documentary. He made mistakes.
• 1:25:11
  He helped people that he shouldn't be helping, and
• 1:25:14
  unfortunately, it made him bankrupt.
• 1:25:16
  Thank God he's Allen Iverson. He's making money off of
• 1:25:18
  autographs, but people are like, he's not Allen Iverson.
• 1:25:21
  Nobody even knows who this kid is.
• 1:25:23
  And it's unfortunate. Yeah, he's he's somebody that's
• 1:25:26
  bounced around from the minors and the majors, too.
• 1:25:28
  Like the Phillies fans were booing him, I believe a couple
• 1:25:30
  of years ago, and they were really booing him in the
• 1:25:32
  playoffs. And I think something like that,
• 1:25:34
  like you don't get that kind of contracts with that too.
• 1:25:37
  So you're really have to be careful when it's even less and
• 1:25:40
  that's your main assets for it. So I, I think it looks bad both
• 1:25:43
  ways. And maybe the parents are kind
• 1:25:44
  of shady in this too, but Boehm should have definitely been a
• 1:25:47
  little more aware to be more secure with something that big.
• 1:25:50
  Go ahead, Sam. No, I mean, I agreed to whatever
• 1:25:57
  he said, you know? I thought you were you were
• 1:25:59
  going to add to it. OK.
• 1:26:00
  All right. Yeah, that's good.
• 1:26:02
  Thank you. Don't you think, Errol, it's
• 1:26:04
  like the guy never looked at his money and then like, he's like,
• 1:26:07
  oh, I should look at my money and he's like, oh, there's not
• 1:26:09
  as much in there as I thought. What happened?
• 1:26:12
  All my parents must have been taking it.
• 1:26:14
  That's what it feels like. It feels like this is like the
• 1:26:17
  dumb, one of the dumbest guys in baseball.
• 1:26:19
  And there's like not a lot of, I mean, there's a bunch of guys
• 1:26:22
  that aren't super. Bright, I mean, daddy stole my
• 1:26:24
  lunch money. I mean, this is ridiculous.
• 1:26:27
  You're, you're, you're a little girl.
• 1:26:30
  You need to stand up for yourself.
• 1:26:31
  And if your parents are stealing from you, you should have seen
• 1:26:34
  it. And, and like I said, Shea Otani
• 1:26:37
  didn't understand where $22 million was going when he had 6
• 1:26:41
  accountants looking over his money.
• 1:26:43
  That's a bunch of crud. And nobody believes that story.
• 1:26:46
  Nobody that we've had on the show except the idiots, Jabba
• 1:26:49
  Chamberlain that actually wants to sit there and believe that.
• 1:26:52
  And I no, Jabba, I don't think you're an idiot, but that was an
• 1:26:54
  idiot take because you, you know, 20, if you're missing $22
• 1:26:57
  million, you would know, everybody would know that twenty
• 1:27:00
  $22 million is missing out of my account every single dollar.
• 1:27:04
  So I, I don't care how rich you are, it's $22 million.
• 1:27:07
  That's a lot of freaking money. That's a lot of moolah.
• 1:27:10
  So you're going to sit here and then just stupid.
• 1:27:12
  It just the whole freaking thing is dumb.
• 1:27:15
  Thank you. We have a new producer.
• 1:27:16
  He's going to be joining us. He's getting to know who we are.
• 1:27:19
  Sam ad he's right there in the corner.
• 1:27:21
  We really appreciate him joining us.
• 1:27:23
  And, and he's going to be working with us on, on so many
• 1:27:26
  things on the back end and the front end of the stuff.
• 1:27:27
  So we think everybody that tunes into us on every single profile,
• 1:27:32
  I never thank anybody on Roku. And somebody actually reached
• 1:27:35
  out to me the other day and says I watch your show on Roku all
• 1:27:38
  the time. And I said, so I'm going to
• 1:27:41
  thank all the people that are tuned in on Roku watching our
• 1:27:44
  show, interacting. If we can't see you, I
• 1:27:47
  apologize. We can't see you.
• 1:27:49
  And there's another stupid thing Fish is posting up.
• 1:27:52
  Stand out to the Roku nation, maybe?
• 1:27:54
  Yes, thank you to all the Spotify and Apple fans on video
• 1:27:59
  and audio, all the downloads, all the views, all the videos
• 1:28:04
  and all the other stuff. Thank you to the TikTok,
• 1:28:06
  Instagram and X fans, New York sports, loudmouth, YouTube or
• 1:28:11
  YouTube fans, and we have a couple of them on still on.
• 1:28:15
  It's crazy. We do our show from 7:00 to
• 1:28:17
  11:00. It's, it's, it's a long one, but
• 1:28:20
  I will say this, this is like the prime time for sports and,
• 1:28:23
  and a lot of guys go in and out. It's it's not easy.
• 1:28:26
  We're not doing prime time for radio shows.
• 1:28:29
  We're doing prime time for sports and, and, and people are
• 1:28:31
  sitting there and watching our show throughout the show.
• 1:28:34
  So everybody that tunes. And by the way, after we're
• 1:28:37
  live, we take the video off. So you cannot watch it on our
• 1:28:41
  YouTube channel, the full video. So the only way you can see it
• 1:28:44
  is on Spotify and Apple. So I want to let all the fans
• 1:28:47
  know that we do not keep it. We only do with this live on
• 1:28:50
  video. So you can watch us when you're
• 1:28:51
  interacting and you can interact, you know, during our
• 1:28:54
  live events. But we really appreciate all the
• 1:28:57
  fans, sweetie. Who do we have on Monday and
• 1:29:00
  Thursday? Joining at 8:20 on Monday, Mr.
• 1:29:02
  Invincible, Vince Papale, the first undrafted free agent, the
• 1:29:05
  first player in the NFL history did not play college football.
• 1:29:08
  He'll join us at 8:20. And then on Thursday, Greg Oden,
• 1:29:12
  former NBA player and was saying some of the directors of his new
• 1:29:15
  movie as well. Yes.
• 1:29:17
  And, and I've been following Greg and he's doing some things
• 1:29:20
  and he has a clothing line. He's doing all these crazy
• 1:29:22
  things and Greg was expected to be one of the better big men
• 1:29:27
  when he was drafted by the Trail Blazers.
• 1:29:30
  Obviously, it didn't happen that way.
• 1:29:32
  He had problems with his leg and his feet and all that other
• 1:29:36
  stuff. So we all know the background of
• 1:29:37
  Greg Odin story and the guy that was drafted right behind him,
• 1:29:40
  Kevin Durant. So we know his career and Hall
• 1:29:43
  of Fame career. So I'm excited about that.
• 1:29:46
  I've never interviewed Greg Odin.
• 1:29:48
  I have Vince Popoli, but I I know Vince.
• 1:29:51
  I met him in Miami. Very nice guy.
• 1:29:53
  He's got great stories. I think everybody will enjoy his
• 1:29:56
  storytelling. And if you never seen the movie
• 1:29:59
  Invincible, Mark Wahlberg, great, great, great movie.
• 1:30:02
  Disney movie. Anyways, that's it for our show,
• 1:30:05
  ladies and gentlemen. Hopefully you don't use any
• 1:30:08
  paddles like Bill Simmons did when he was a kid and don't
• 1:30:11
  smack each other. And you know what?
• 1:30:13
  Goodnight. Goodnight worldwide.
