  Yeah.
• 2:45
  I
• 2:45
  was
• 2:45
  shocked
• 2:45
  at

  They're
• 2:46
  nice.
• 2:46
  They
• 2:46
  look
• 2:47
  like
• 2:47
  the
• 2:48
  World
• 2:48
  Series
• 2:48
  ring.
• 2:49
  They

  the

  NY

  Yeah.
• 2:59
  So,
• 3:00
  you

• 3:00
  This
• 3:01
  whole
• 3:01
  reunion,
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  40th.
• 3:02
  When's
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  last
• 3:02
  time
• 3:02
  that
• 3:02
  you
• 3:03
  were
• 3:03
  back
• 3:03
  with
• 3:04
  most
• 3:04
  of
• 3:04
  these
• 3:04
  guys
• 3:04
  for
• 3:05
  a
• 3:05
  reunion?
• 3:07
  Well,
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  was.
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  was
• 3:09
  in
• 3:09
  an
• 3:09
  autograph
• 3:09
  show.
• 3:10
  Lucky's
• 3:11
  right.
• 3:12
  Autograph
• 3:13
  events.
• 3:14
  I
• 3:14
  was
• 3:14
  out
• 3:14
  there
• 3:14
  at.
• 3:16
  Oh,
• 3:16
  is
• 3:16
  that
• 3:17
  Hofstra?
• 3:18
  Yeah,
• 3:18
  Hofstra.
• 3:19
  Yep.
• 3:19
  Yep.
• 3:20
  Just
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  few
• 3:20
  weeks
• 3:21
  ago.
• 3:21
  We
• 3:22
  had
• 3:22
  a
• 3:22
  great
• 3:22
  turnout
• 3:23
  and
• 3:24
  I
• 3:24
  saw
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  video
• 3:25
  somebody
• 3:25
  took
• 3:26
  and
• 3:26
  there
• 3:26
  was
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  heck
• 3:27
  of
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  line
• 3:27
  there
• 3:28
  out
• 3:28
  for
• 3:28
  me.
• 3:29
  And
• 3:29
  the
• 3:30
  reason
• 3:30
  for
• 3:30
  that,
• 3:30
  you
• 3:31
  know,
• 3:31
  not
• 3:31
  because
• 3:31
  I'm
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  big
• 3:32
  superstar.
• 3:32
  I'm
• 3:32
  just
• 3:32
  Ed.
• 3:33
  You
• 3:33
  know,
• 3:33
  I'm
• 3:34
  not
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  big
• 3:34
  name
• 3:34
  guy.
• 3:34
  I
• 3:35
  only
• 3:35
  got
• 3:35
  two
• 3:35
  gutters
• 3:36
  in
• 3:36
  my
• 3:36
  name.
• 3:36
  I'm
• 3:36
  not
• 3:36
  strong,
• 3:37
  rare.
• 3:38
  You
• 3:38
  know
• 3:38
  what
• 3:38
  I'm
• 3:38
  saying?
• 3:39
  Yeah.
• 3:40
  There
• 3:40
  was
• 3:40
  a.
• 3:40
  There
• 3:41
  was
• 3:41
  a
• 3:41
  line
• 3:41
  going
• 3:42
  out
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  Jazzoo
• 3:43
  when
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  went
• 3:44
  out
• 3:44
  for
• 3:44
  public
• 3:44
  loan
• 3:44
  signing.
• 3:45
  And
• 3:45
  that's
• 3:45
  mainly
• 3:46
  because,
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  know,
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  have
• 3:48
  to.
• 3:48
  I've
• 3:49
  been
• 3:49
  back

  I

• 3:53
  or
• 3:53
  four
• 3:53
  years

  been

  really
• 3:54

• 3:58
  I
• 3:58
  just
• 3:58

• 3:58
  been
• 3:59
  back.
• 3:59
  I
• 3:59
  used
• 3:59
  to.
• 4:00
  I
• 4:00
  went
• 4:00
  down
• 4:00
  to
• 4:01
  Mets
• 4:01
  Nancy
• 4:02

• 4:03
  there
• 4:03
  up
• 4:04
  until
• 4:04
  the
• 4:04
  last
• 4:04
  three
• 4:04
  years.
• 4:05
  And
• 4:05
  so
• 4:06
  I've
• 4:06
  been
• 4:06
  kind
• 4:06

  of
• 4:08
  mind
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  little
• 4:08
  bit.
• 4:08
  And
• 4:09
  so
• 4:09
  everybody
• 4:09
  was
• 4:09
  trying
• 4:10
  to
• 4:10

  You
• 4:16
  know,
• 4:16
  that's
• 4:16
  a
• 4:17
  very
• 4:17
  hot
• 4:18
  item.
• 4:19
  I
• 4:19
  was
• 4:19
  one
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  the
• 4:20
  last
• 4:20

• 4:21
  because
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  hadn't

• 4:23
  People
• 4:23
  want
• 4:23
  that
• 4:24
  last
• 4:24
  one.
• 4:25
  Yeah.
• 4:25
  That's
• 4:26
  interesting.
• 4:26
  And
• 4:26
  people
• 4:27
  want
• 4:27
  to
• 4:27
  get
• 4:27
  that
• 4:27
  extra
• 4:27
  signature
• 4:28
  on

  an

• 4:29
  that

  maybe
• 4:29
  has
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  lot
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  signatures.
• 4:30
  But
• 4:31
  again,
• 4:31
  we're
• 4:31
  talking
• 4:32
  with
• 4:32
  Ed
• 4:32
  Hearn,
• 4:32
  a
• 4:32
  member
• 4:33
  of
• 4:33
  the
• 4:33
  1986
• 4:34
  World
• 4:34
  Series.
• 4:34
  Ed,
• 4:35
  you
• 4:35
  were
• 4:35
  drafted
• 4:35
  by
• 4:35
  the
• 4:36
  Phillies
• 4:36
  in
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  fourth
• 4:36
  round.
• 4:37
  1978,
• 4:38
  you
• 4:39
  were
• 4:39
  from
• 4:39
  Florida.
• 4:40
  And,
• 4:40
  you
• 4:40
  know,
• 4:40
  what
• 4:41
  did
• 4:41
  you
• 4:41
  decide
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  do
• 4:42
  from
• 4:42
  there?
• 4:42
  You
• 4:42
  had
• 4:42
  an
• 4:42
  opportunity
• 4:43
  to
• 4:43
  play
• 4:43
  at
• 4:43
  West
• 4:44
  Point?
• 4:45
  Yeah,
• 4:46
  I
• 4:46
  had
• 4:46
  opportunities
• 4:46
  at
• 4:47
  several
• 4:47
  colleges
• 4:47
  for
• 4:48
  football
• 4:48
  and
• 4:48
  baseball.
• 4:48
  And
• 4:49
  definitely
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  nomination
• 4:51
  appointment
• 4:51
  to
• 4:52
  West
• 4:52
  Point
• 4:53
  is
• 4:53
  a
• 4:53
  very
• 4:53
  big
• 4:54
  honor.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:54
  I
• 4:54
  had
• 4:54
  some
• 4:54
  Ivy
• 4:55
  League
• 4:55
  schools
• 4:55
  that
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  could
• 4:56
  have
• 4:56
  went
• 4:56
  to.
• 4:56
  But
• 4:57
  ultimately
• 4:57
  I
• 4:58
  decided
• 4:58
  that
• 4:58
  it
• 4:58
  was
• 4:58
  time
• 4:59
  to
• 4:59
  pursue
• 5:00
  my
• 5:00
  dream
• 5:00
  and
• 5:00
  I
• 5:01
  signed
• 5:01
  with
• 5:01
  The
• 5:01
  Phillies
• 5:01
  and
• 5:02
  had
• 5:02
  a
• 5:02
  great
• 5:03
  rookie
• 5:03
  season
• 5:04
  in
• 5:04
  Helena,
• 5:04
  Montana.
• 5:05
  I
• 5:05
  tell
• 5:06
  you,
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  fell
• 5:06
  in
• 5:06
  love
• 5:06
  with
• 5:07
  Montana
• 5:07
  then
• 5:08
  Ryan
• 5:09
  Sandberg
• 5:09
  and
• 5:09
  I
• 5:09
  were
• 5:10
  clearly
• 5:10
  feed
• 5:10
  on
• 5:11
  that
• 5:11
  team
• 5:11
  and
• 5:12
  it
• 5:12
  was
• 5:12
  just
• 5:13
  a
• 5:13
  fabulous
• 5:13
  first
• 5:14
  year
• 5:14
  in
• 5:14
  the
• 5:14
  minor
• 5:15
  leagues.
• 5:15
  And
• 5:16
  it
• 5:16
  got
• 5:16
  a
• 5:16
  little
• 5:16
  rough
• 5:17
  after
• 5:17
  that
• 5:17
  with
• 5:17
  some
• 5:17
  injuries.
• 5:18
  But
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  know,
• 5:19
  I
• 5:19
  was
• 5:19
  in
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  Phillies
• 5:20
  for
• 5:20
  about
• 5:20
  five
• 5:20
  years
• 5:21
  in
• 5:21
  my
• 5:21
  leagues
• 5:21
  and
• 5:22
  with
• 5:23
  the
• 5:23
  injuries
• 5:23
  I
• 5:23
  had,
• 5:25
  they
• 5:25
  didn't
• 5:25
  think
• 5:25
  I'd
• 5:26
  ever
• 5:26
  catch
• 5:26
  again.
• 5:27
  They
• 5:27
  said
• 5:27
  I
• 5:27
  went
• 5:28
  out
• 5:28
  walk
• 5:28
  normal
• 5:29
  again.
• 5:29
  So
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  said
• 5:30
  look,
• 5:31
  I'm
• 5:31
  not
• 5:31
  going
• 5:31
  to
• 5:31
  make
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  Pacific
• 5:32
  leagues
• 5:32
  as
• 5:32
  a,
• 5:33
  you
• 5:33
  know,
• 5:33
  gig
• 5:33
  power
• 5:34
  hitting
• 5:34
  first
• 5:34
  racer
• 5:34
  V8
• 5:35
  so
• 5:35
  do
• 5:36
  my
• 5:36
  release
• 5:36
  and
• 5:37
  if
• 5:37
  anybody
• 5:37
  wants
• 5:37
  to
• 5:38
  give
• 5:38
  me
• 5:38
  a
• 5:38
  shot
• 5:38
  at
• 5:38
  catching
• 5:38
  again,
• 5:39
  then
• 5:39
  that's
• 5:39
  what
• 5:40
  I
• 5:40
  want.
• 5:40
  If
• 5:40
  not,
• 5:41
  you
• 5:41
  know,
• 5:41
  I
• 5:41
  got
• 5:41
  some
• 5:42
  marbles
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  go
• 5:42
  back
• 5:42
  and
• 5:42
  do
• 5:43
  something
• 5:43
  in
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  real
• 5:43
  world.
• 5:44
  So
• 5:44
  I,
• 5:44
  they
• 5:45
  gave
• 5:45
  me
• 5:45
  my
• 5:45
  release
• 5:45
  and
• 5:46
  I
• 5:46
  signed
• 5:46
  with
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  Mets.
• 5:46
  And
• 5:47
  you
• 5:47
  know
• 5:47
  things
• 5:48
  van
• 5:48
  gong
• 5:48
  in
• 5:48

  and

  So

  know,
• 5:53
  not
• 5:53
  many
• 5:54
  people
• 5:54

  then
• 6:12
  New
• 6:12
  York
• 6:13
  at
• 6:13
  86.
• 6:14
  Yep,
• 6:14
  a
• 6:14
  bunch
• 6:14
  of
• 6:14
  those
• 6:14
  Mets
• 6:15
  came
• 6:15
  came
• 6:16
  up
• 6:16
  through
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  system
• 6:16
  with
• 6:17
  you
• 6:17
  as
• 6:17
  well
• 6:17
  that
• 6:18
  made
• 6:18

• 6:18
  to
• 6:18
  the

• 6:19
  So
• 6:19
  you
• 6:19
  guys
• 6:20
  had
• 6:20
  a
• 6:20
  lot
• 6:20
  of
• 6:21
  strong
• 6:21
  players
• 6:21
  down
• 6:22
  in
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  minor
• 6:22

• 6:22
  system.
• 6:23
  Oh,
• 6:24
  it
• 6:24
  was
• 6:24
  a
• 6:24
  loaded
• 6:25
  group
• 6:25
  of
• 6:25
  guys.
• 6:25
  Man.
• 6:26
  It
• 6:26
  was
• 6:26
  a
• 6:26
  lot
• 6:26
  of
• 6:26
  fun
• 6:27
  that
• 6:27
  first
• 6:27
  year
• 6:28
  at
• 6:28
  Lynchburg
• 6:28
  with
• 6:29
  Gooden
• 6:29
  and
• 6:31
  Lenny

  Guy
• 6:32
  Show.
• 6:32
  We

  won
• 6:33
  a
• 6:33
  hundred
• 6:33
  and
• 6:34
  some
• 6:34
  games.
• 6:35
  It
• 6:35
  was
• 6:35
  just
• 6:35
  phenomenal.
• 6:37
  We
• 6:37
  dominated
• 6:38
  that
• 6:38
  league
• 6:38
  and
• 6:39
  you
• 6:39
  know,
• 6:39
  we
• 6:39
  won
• 6:40
  every
• 6:40
  league,
• 6:40
  Texas
• 6:41
  League
• 6:41
  in
• 6:41
  AAA
• 6:43
  Norfolk,
• 6:43
  Virginia
• 6:43
  and
• 6:44
  then
• 6:44
  up
• 6:44
  to
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  league
• 6:44
  league
• 6:45
  and
• 6:45
  then
• 6:45
  you
• 6:46
  know,
• 6:46
  Chris,
• 6:46
  you
• 6:46
  know,
• 6:46
  here's
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  ironic
• 6:48
  thing.
• 6:49
  The
• 6:49
  Mets
• 6:49
  traded
• 6:50
  me
• 6:50
  away
• 6:50
  to
• 6:50
  Kansas
• 6:51
  City
• 6:51
  next
• 6:51
  year
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  you
• 6:52
  know
• 6:52
  what
• 6:53
  poor
• 6:54
  folks
• 6:54
  there
• 6:54
  in
• 6:54
  Long
• 6:55
  island,
• 6:55
  they
• 6:56
  haven't
• 6:56
  gotten
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  World
• 6:57
  Series
• 6:57
  right
• 6:57
  now
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  rest
• 6:58
  since
• 6:58
  I
• 6:58
  was
• 6:58
  traded.
• 6:59
  That's
• 6:59
  right.
• 6:59
  That
• 6:59
  was
• 7:00
  the,
• 7:00
  it's
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  turning
• 7:01
  point.
• 7:01
  We
• 7:01
  got
• 7:01
  to
• 7:02
  get
• 7:02
  you
• 7:02
  back
• 7:02
  on
• 7:02
  the
• 7:02
  team
• 7:03
  for
• 7:03
  a
• 7:03
  one
• 7:03
  day
• 7:03
  contract.
• 7:04
  Maybe
• 7:04
  we
• 7:04
  could
• 7:04
  start
• 7:04
  making
• 7:05
  things
• 7:05
  good
• 7:05
  in
• 7:05
  New
• 7:05
  York
• 7:06
  again.
• 7:07
  Yeah,
• 7:07
  if
• 7:07
  I
• 7:07
  can
• 7:07
  make
• 7:07
  it
• 7:08
  make
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  to
• 7:08
  first
• 7:08
  place,
• 7:08
  that
• 7:09
  would
• 7:09
  be
• 7:09
  good.
• 7:11
  Ed,
• 7:11
  you
• 7:11
  made
• 7:12
  the
• 7:12
  team
• 7:12
  in
• 7:12
  86.
• 7:13
  What
• 7:13

  front
• 7:28
  covers
• 7:28
  of

  number
• 7:33
  one
• 7:33
  looking
• 7:33
  thing.
• 7:34
  But
• 7:34
  what
• 7:34
  that
• 7:34
  was
• 7:35
  was
• 7:35
  that
• 7:36
  was
• 7:36
  my
• 7:36
  first
• 7:36
  measure
• 7:37
  league

  happened,
• 7:38
  you
• 7:39
  know,
• 7:39
  Father's
• 7:39
  Day.
• 7:41
  And
• 7:42
  the

• 7:46
  guys,
• 7:46
  the
• 7:47
  Mets.
• 7:47
  Right.
• 7:47
  And
• 7:48
  I,
• 7:48
  I
• 7:48
  was
• 7:48
  raised
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  be
• 7:49
  humble
• 7:49
  and
• 7:49
  stuff,
• 7:50
  you
• 7:50
  know,
• 7:50
  Southern
• 7:51
  boy.
• 7:51
  And
• 7:51
  I,
• 7:52
  I
• 7:52
  was,
• 7:52
  I
• 7:53
  was
• 7:53
  not
• 7:53
  into
• 7:53
  that.
• 7:53
  But
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  know
• 7:54
  Gary
• 7:54
  Carter,
• 7:55
  he
• 7:55
  was
• 7:55
  up
• 7:55
  there
• 7:55
  fist
• 7:56
  pumping
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  all
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  stuff.
• 7:57
  But
• 7:58
  Carter
• 7:58
  and
• 7:59
  Hernandez
• 8:00
  literally
• 8:01
  pushed
• 8:01
  me
• 8:01
  up
• 8:01
  the
• 8:01
  steps
• 8:02
  and
• 8:02
  I
• 8:03
  step
• 8:03
  up
• 8:03
  and
• 8:03
  I
• 8:04
  just
• 8:04
  pointed
• 8:05
  up
• 8:05
  with
• 8:05
  a
• 8:05
  finger
• 8:06
  and
• 8:06
  that
• 8:06
  turned
• 8:07
  out
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  be
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  COVID
• 8:08
  shot
• 8:08
  for
• 8:08
  my,
• 8:09
  my
• 8:09
  book
• 8:09
  Conquering
• 8:09
  Life's
• 8:10
  Curves.
• 8:10
  And
• 8:11
  you
• 8:12
  know
• 8:12
  that
• 8:12
  was
• 8:12
  quite
• 8:12
  the
• 8:13
  moment,
• 8:13
  really
• 8:14
  just
• 8:15
  incredible.
• 8:15
  And
• 8:15
  then
• 8:16
  after
• 8:16
  the
• 8:16
  game
• 8:17
  really
• 8:17
  became
• 8:17
  even
• 8:17
  more
• 8:18
  special
• 8:19
  when
• 8:19
  one
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  grounds
• 8:20
  crew
• 8:20
  guys
• 8:21
  had
• 8:21
  retrieved
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  ball.
• 8:23
  Wow.
• 8:23
  From
• 8:24
  fans
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  traded
• 8:25
  some
• 8:25
  stuff
• 8:25
  for
• 8:25
  it.
• 8:26
  And
• 8:26
  I
• 8:26
  was
• 8:27
  able
• 8:27
  to
• 8:27
  present
• 8:27
  that
• 8:27
  to
• 8:28
  my
• 8:28
  dad
• 8:29
  who
• 8:29
  was
• 8:29
  there
• 8:29
  in
• 8:29
  the
• 8:30
  stands.
• 8:30
  Mom
• 8:30
  and
• 8:30
  dad
• 8:31
  were
• 8:31
  there
• 8:31
  and
• 8:31
  I
• 8:32
  was
• 8:32
  able
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  give
• 8:32
  that
• 8:33
  ball
• 8:33
  to
• 8:33
  them
• 8:34
  that,
• 8:35
  that
• 8:35
  evening.
• 8:35
  And
• 8:35
  it
• 8:36
  was
• 8:36
  just,
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  mean
• 8:36
  that
• 8:37
  was
• 8:37
  my,
• 8:38
  I
• 8:38
  think
• 8:38
  that
• 8:38
  was
• 8:38
  the
• 8:39
  best
• 8:39
  moment
• 8:39
  of
• 8:39
  all.
• 8:40
  Yeah,
• 8:41
  you,
• 8:41
  you
• 8:41
  obviously
• 8:42
  you
• 8:42
  played
• 8:42
  on
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  championship
• 8:43
  team.
• 8:44
  Talk
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  us
• 8:44
  a
• 8:45
  little
• 8:45
  bit
• 8:45
  what
• 8:45
  it
• 8:45
  was
• 8:45
  like
• 8:46
  to
• 8:46
  be
• 8:46
  on
• 8:47
  that
• 8:47
  team.
• 8:47
  To
• 8:47
  have
• 8:47
  to
• 8:48
  be
• 8:48
  ready
• 8:48
  every
• 8:48
  day
• 8:49
  but
• 8:49
  also
• 8:49
  to
• 8:49
  be
• 8:49
  around
• 8:50
  some
• 8:50
  major
• 8:50
  superstars.
• 8:52
  Yeah.
• 8:53
  Well,
• 8:53
  being
• 8:53
  backup
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  get
• 8:54
  Carter
• 8:54
  first
• 8:54
  of
• 8:54
  all
• 8:55
  is,
• 8:55
  is
• 8:55
  a
• 8:56
  tough
• 8:56
  job
• 8:56
  because
• 8:56
  he's
• 8:57
  going
• 8:57
  to
• 8:57
  play
• 8:57
  as
• 8:58
  often
• 8:58
  as
• 8:58
  he,
• 8:59
  you
• 8:59
  know,
• 8:59
  as
• 8:59
  he
• 9:00
  wants
• 9:00
  to.
• 9:00
  And
• 9:01
  gratefully
• 9:01
  that
• 9:01
  was
• 9:02
  all
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  time.
• 9:02
  But
• 9:03
  he
• 9:03
  had
• 9:03
  to
• 9:03
  have
• 9:03
  a
• 9:03
  break
• 9:03
  and
• 9:04
  you
• 9:04
  know,
• 9:04
  he
• 9:04
  had
• 9:04
  to
• 9:04
  stay
• 9:04
  ready
• 9:05
  and
• 9:06
  you
• 9:06
  know
• 9:06
  it
• 9:07
  turned
• 9:07
  out
• 9:07
  I
• 9:07
  think
• 9:08
  myself
• 9:08
  and
• 9:08
  Larry
• 9:08
  Lyons
• 9:09
  were
• 9:09
  supposed
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  squat
• 9:10
  back
• 9:10
  and
• 9:11
  forth
• 9:11
  between
• 9:12
  tide
• 9:12
  worst
• 9:12
  week
• 9:12
  he
• 9:13
  gets
• 9:13
  about
• 9:13
  match
• 9:13
  but
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  know,
• 9:15
  very
• 9:15
  right
• 9:15
  there
• 9:16
  on
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  spring
• 9:16
  training.
• 9:16
  And
• 9:17
  then
• 9:17
  after
• 9:17
  a
• 9:17
  month
• 9:17
  or
• 9:17
  so
• 9:18
  they
• 9:18
  called
• 9:19
  me
• 9:19
  up
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  you
• 9:20
  know
• 9:20
  it
• 9:20
  didn't
• 9:20
  change.
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  was
• 9:21
  hitting
• 9:21
  over.300
• 9:22
  most
• 9:22
  of
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  year.
• 9:23
  And
• 9:23
  then
• 9:23
  of
• 9:23
  course
• 9:24
  you
• 9:24
  know
• 9:24
  the
• 9:25
  best
• 9:25
  part
• 9:25
  I
• 9:26
  guess
• 9:26
  for
• 9:26
  me
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  the
• 9:27
  team
• 9:27
  and
• 9:28
  was
• 9:28
  when
• 9:29
  Gary
• 9:29
  heard
• 9:29
  his
• 9:29
  thumb,
• 9:30
  you
• 9:31
  know
• 9:31
  playing
• 9:31
  first
• 9:31
  chase
• 9:32
  against,
• 9:32
  in
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  second
• 9:33
  game,
• 9:33
  double
• 9:33
  headed
• 9:33
  there
• 9:34
  against
• 9:34
  Cardinals.
• 9:35
  All
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  newspapers
• 9:36
  were,
• 9:37
  oh
• 9:37
  boy,
• 9:38
  worst
• 9:39
  thing
• 9:39
  that
• 9:39
  could
• 9:39
  happen
• 9:39
  to
• 9:40
  Mets
• 9:40
  Carter
• 9:41
  goes
• 9:41
  down
• 9:42
  and
• 9:42
  all
• 9:42
  the
• 9:43
  reporters
• 9:43
  were
• 9:43
  right
• 9:44
  there
• 9:44
  in
• 9:44
  front
• 9:44
  of
• 9:44
  me
• 9:44
  locker.
• 9:45
  What
• 9:45
  are
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  going
• 9:46
  to
• 9:46
  do
• 9:46
  Ed
• 9:46
  Hearn?
• 9:49
  You
• 9:49
  know
• 9:49
  what,
• 9:49
  I
• 9:49
  was
• 9:50
  real
• 9:50
  honest
• 9:50
  when
• 9:50
  I
• 9:50
  said,
• 9:50
  you
• 9:51
  know
• 9:51
  what?
• 9:51
  There
• 9:51
  ain't
• 9:52
  nobody
• 9:52
  around
• 9:52
  that
• 9:53
  can
• 9:53
  full
• 9:53
  of
• 9:53
  shoes
• 9:54
  of
• 9:54
  Jerry
• 9:54
  Carter.
• 9:54
  Correct.
• 9:55
  But
• 9:55
  I'm
• 9:56
  going
• 9:56
  to
• 9:56
  be
• 9:56
  Ed
• 9:56
  Hearn.
• 9:58
  And
• 9:58
  that's
• 9:58
  all
• 9:58
  I
• 9:58
  can
• 9:58
  do.
• 9:59
  And
• 9:59
  I
• 9:59
  remember.
• 10:00
  Yep.
• 10:00
  I
• 10:00
  remember
• 10:01
  a
• 10:01
  lot
• 10:01
  of
• 10:01
  those
• 10:01
  games
• 10:01
  going
• 10:02
  out
• 10:02
  to
• 10:02
  the
• 10:02
  west
• 10:02
  coast,
• 10:03
  too.
• 10:05
  Yeah,
• 10:05
  we
• 10:05
  went
• 10:05
  to
• 10:05
  the
• 10:06
  west
• 10:06
  coast
• 10:06
  and
• 10:06
  all.
• 10:06
  We
• 10:06
  went
• 10:07
  11
• 10:07
  and
• 10:07
  three
• 10:08
  in
• 10:08
  that
• 10:08
  two
• 10:08
  weeks.
• 10:10
  So
• 10:11
  actually,
• 10:11
  Gary
• 10:11
  was
• 10:12
  a
• 10:12
  little
• 10:12
  chapped
• 10:12
  about
• 10:13
  that
• 10:13
  because
• 10:13
  he
• 10:14
  felt
• 10:14
  like
• 10:14
  that
• 10:15
  those
• 10:15
  two
• 10:15
  weeks
• 10:15
  cost
• 10:16
  him
• 10:16
  the
• 10:16
  MVP
• 10:17
  that
• 10:17
  year.
• 10:17
  Yeah,
• 10:17
  probably.
• 10:19
  And
• 10:19
  yourself
• 10:20
  and
• 10:20
  Barry
• 10:20
  Lyons
• 10:21
  and
• 10:21
  even
• 10:21
  a
• 10:21
  little
• 10:21
  bit
• 10:21
  of
• 10:22
  John
• 10:22
  Gibbons
• 10:22
  had
• 10:22
  to
• 10:23
  give
• 10:23
  some
• 10:24
  depth
• 10:25
  to
• 10:25
  the
• 10:25
  team.
• 10:25
  That
• 10:25
  year.
• 10:26
  You
• 10:26
  played
• 10:26
  in
• 10:26
  49
• 10:27
  games.
• 10:28
  What
• 10:28
  was
• 10:28
  the.
• 10:28
  What
• 10:28
  was
• 10:29
  the
• 10:29
  season
• 10:29
  like
• 10:29
  for
• 10:29
  you?
• 10:30
  You
• 10:30
  know,
• 10:30
  I
• 10:30
  know
• 10:31
  as
• 10:31
  you
• 10:31
  go
• 10:31
  on
• 10:31
  to
• 10:32
  the
• 10:32
  postseason,
• 10:33
  there's
• 10:33
  a
• 10:33
  lot
• 10:33
  that
• 10:33
  you,
• 10:33
  you
• 10:34
  know,
• 10:34
  you
• 10:34
  always
• 10:34
  have
• 10:34
  to
• 10:34
  be
• 10:35
  ready,
• 10:35
  but
• 10:35
  there
• 10:36
  was
• 10:36
  a
• 10:36
  lot
• 10:36
  going
• 10:36
  on
• 10:36
  with
• 10:37
  that
• 10:37
  team.
• 10:37
  It
• 10:37
  wasn't
• 10:37
  a
• 10:38
  team
• 10:38
  that
• 10:38
  was
• 10:38
  just
• 10:38
  there
• 10:39
  to,
• 10:39
  you
• 10:40
  know,
• 10:40
  take
• 10:40
  in
• 10:40
  whatever
• 10:41
  was
• 10:41
  going
• 10:41
  on.
• 10:41
  They
• 10:42
  wanted
• 10:42
  to
• 10:42
  be
• 10:42
  in
• 10:42
  the
• 10:42
  spotlight.
• 10:43
  So
• 10:43
  what
• 10:43
  was
• 10:43
  it
• 10:43
  like
• 10:44
  being
• 10:44
  around
• 10:44
  that
• 10:44
  team?
• 10:46
  Do
• 10:46
  you
• 10:47
  think
• 10:47
  so,
• 10:47
  Chris?
• 10:48
  There's
• 10:48
  only
• 10:49
  a
• 10:49
  couple
• 10:49
  of
• 10:49
  books
• 10:49
  written
• 10:50
  about
• 10:50
  them.
• 10:52
  Just
• 10:52
  one
• 10:52
  or
• 10:52
  two,
• 10:52
  I
• 10:52
  think.
• 10:53
  Yeah,
• 10:53
  the
• 10:54
  Bad
• 10:54
  Guys.
• 10:54
  One
• 10:55
  was
• 10:55
  probably
• 10:55
  the
• 10:55
  most
• 10:56
  prolific
• 10:57
  book
• 10:57
  written
• 10:58
  about
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  Apex
• 10:58
  Nets.
• 10:59
  And,
• 11:00
  you
• 11:00
  know,
• 11:00
  we
• 11:01
  were
• 11:01
  called
• 11:01
  Bad
• 11:01
  Guys
• 11:01
  for
• 11:02
  a
• 11:02
  reason.
• 11:04
  It
• 11:04
  was
• 11:04
  a
• 11:04
  very
• 11:05
  cocky
• 11:05
  group.
• 11:06
  You
• 11:06
  know,
• 11:07
  when
• 11:07
  we
• 11:07
  left
• 11:07
  spring
• 11:08
  training,
• 11:09
  Davey
• 11:09
  said
• 11:09
  to
• 11:10
  the
• 11:10
  team,
• 11:10
  we're
• 11:10
  not
• 11:10
  going
• 11:10
  to
• 11:10
  just
• 11:11
  win,
• 11:11
  we're
• 11:11
  going
• 11:11
  to
• 11:11
  dominate.
• 11:12
  And
• 11:13
  that
• 11:13
  quote
• 11:13
  has
• 11:13
  carried
• 11:14
  on
• 11:15
  that
• 11:15
  was
• 11:16
  retained
• 11:16
  the
• 11:16
  legend
• 11:17
  of
• 11:17
  the
• 11:17
  86
• 11:17
  nuts.
• 11:18
  But,
• 11:19
  you
• 11:19
  know,
• 11:19
  we
• 11:19
  were.
• 11:19
  We
• 11:20
  were
• 11:20
  good.
• 11:21
  We
• 11:21
  were
• 11:21
  cocky.
• 11:23
  The
• 11:24
  guys
• 11:24
  were
• 11:24
  ready
• 11:25
  to
• 11:25
  fight
• 11:25
  at
• 11:25
  the
• 11:26
  drop
• 11:26
  of
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  hat,
• 11:27
  and
• 11:27
  guys
• 11:27
  wanted
• 11:28
  to
• 11:28
  featureless
• 11:28
  because
• 11:29
  we
• 11:29
  were
• 11:29
  cocky.
• 11:30
  We
• 11:30
  walk
• 11:30
  in
• 11:31
  there
• 11:31
  and
• 11:31
  just
• 11:31
  say,
• 11:31
  hey,
• 11:31
  let's
• 11:32
  go.
• 11:32
  And,
• 11:33
  you
• 11:33
  know,
• 11:33
  so
• 11:33
  we
• 11:33
  were
• 11:33
  in
• 11:33
  several
• 11:34
  brawls
• 11:35
  that
• 11:35
  year.
• 11:35
  Yep.
• 11:36
  And,
• 11:36
  you
• 11:37
  know,
• 11:37
  it
• 11:37
  was.
• 11:37
  It
• 11:38
  was
• 11:38
  a.
• 11:38
  Interesting
• 11:39
  season
• 11:40
  for
• 11:40
  a
• 11:40
  rookie.
• 11:41
  You
• 11:41
  know,
• 11:41
  I
• 11:42
  think,
• 11:42
  like,
• 11:43
  they'll.
• 11:43
  Clarice,
• 11:44
  tell
• 11:44
  the
• 11:44
  kid,
• 11:45
  all
• 11:45
  right,
• 11:45
  it's
• 11:45
  okay
• 11:46
  for
• 11:46
  you
• 11:46
  to
• 11:46
  be
• 11:46
  seen
• 11:46
  but
• 11:47
  not
• 11:47
  heard.
• 11:48
  You
• 11:48
  know,
• 11:48
  I
• 11:48
  think.
• 11:48
  I
• 11:49
  think
• 11:49
  that's
• 11:49
  kind
• 11:50
  of
• 11:50
  the
• 11:51
  generalization
• 11:52
  for
• 11:52
  a
• 11:52
  rookie.
• 11:53
  Some
• 11:53
  guys,
• 11:53
  you
• 11:53
  know,
• 11:54
  go
• 11:54
  up
• 11:54
  and
• 11:54
  make
• 11:54
  a
• 11:54
  lot
• 11:54
  of
• 11:54
  noise,
• 11:55
  but,
• 11:55
  you
• 11:55
  know,
• 11:56
  I
• 11:56
  thought

  job
• 11:56
  was
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  do
• 11:57
  my
• 11:57
  job
• 11:58
  and,
• 11:58
  you
• 11:59
  know,
• 11:59
  I
• 11:59
  didn't
• 11:59
  get
• 11:59
  involved
• 12:00
  in
• 12:00
  a
• 12:00
  lot
• 12:00
  of
• 12:00
  stuff
• 12:01
  that
• 12:01
  was
• 12:01
  going
• 12:01
  on,
• 12:02
  and
• 12:03
  good
• 12:03
  thing
• 12:04
  I
• 12:04
  did.

• 12:09
  or
• 12:09
  two
• 12:09
  later,
• 12:09
  whatever
• 12:10
  it
• 12:10
  was,
• 12:10
  my.
• 12:11
  My
• 12:11
  mom,
• 12:12
  I

  Is

  We're

  It

  wasn't

  The

• 13:10
  You

  take
• 13:11
  over

  Did

  norm

  this

  night

  just

  pretty
• 13:23
  crazy?
• 13:25
  Well,
• 13:25
  I
• 13:25
  don't
• 13:26
  think
• 13:26
  it
• 13:26
  was
• 13:26
  the
• 13:26
  norm,
• 13:27
  but

  it

  Gary

• 13:35
  a
• 13:35
  game
• 13:35
  at
• 13:35
  third
• 13:36
  once.
• 13:36
  He

  to
• 13:36
  go
• 13:36
  over
• 13:37
  there.
• 13:39
  Hernandez.
• 13:40
  Hernandez
• 13:40
  turned
• 13:40
  a
• 13:40
  double
• 13:41
  play.
• 13:41
  Hernandez,
• 13:42
  the
• 13:42
  pitcher
• 13:42
  tried
• 13:42
  to
• 13:43
  bunt.
• 13:44
  Yeah.
• 13:44
  On
• 13:44
  the

  And

  that
• 13:48
  play
• 13:48
  is
• 13:49
  never
• 13:49
  made,
• 13:50
  but

• 13:50
  had
• 13:51
  two
• 13:52
  superb
• 13:52
  athletes

  Gary.

  hot.
• 17:04
  Oh.
• 17:04
  And
• 17:05
  all
• 17:05
  of
• 17:05
  a
• 17:05
  sudden,
• 17:05
  the
• 17:05
  guys,
• 17:05
  you
• 17:06
  know,
• 17:06
  broke
• 17:06
  his
• 17:06
  pattern
• 17:07
  of
• 17:07
  thinking.
• 17:07
  Distract
• 17:08
  them
• 17:08
  a
• 17:08
  little
• 17:08
  bit.
• 17:09
  You
• 17:09
  got
• 17:09
  to
• 17:09
  do
• 17:10
  what
• 17:10
  you
• 17:10
  got
• 17:10
  to
• 17:10
  do.
• 17:10
  And
• 17:11
  that's
• 17:11
  just
• 17:11
  Part
• 17:11
  of
• 17:12
  it.
• 17:12
  We're
• 17:13
  talking
• 17:13
  with
• 17:13
  Ed
• 17:13
  Hearn,
• 17:14
  former
• 17:15
  Met
• 17:15
  from
• 17:15
  1986,
• 17:16
  about
• 17:17
  lots
• 17:18
  of
• 17:18
  the
• 17:18
  things
• 17:18
  that
• 17:18
  he
• 17:18
  had
• 17:18
  to
• 17:19
  deal
• 17:19
  with
• 17:19
  on
• 17:19
  the
• 17:19
  field.
• 17:20
  Also,
• 17:20
  he
• 17:20
  has
• 17:20
  a
• 17:21
  book
• 17:21
  called
• 17:21
  Conquering
• 17:22
  Life's
• 17:22
  Curves,
• 17:23
  Baseball
• 17:23
  Battles
• 17:24
  and
• 17:24
  Beyond.
• 17:24
  Ed,
• 17:24
  you
• 17:25
  want
• 17:25
  to
• 17:25
  plug
• 17:25
  it
• 17:25
  a
• 17:25
  little
• 17:25
  bit
• 17:26
  how
• 17:26
  maybe
• 17:26
  people
• 17:26
  can
• 17:26
  get
• 17:27
  an
• 17:27
  autographed
• 17:27
  copy.
• 17:30
  I,
• 17:30
  I
• 17:31
  really
• 17:31
  not.
• 17:33
  But
• 17:33
  I'd
• 17:33
  be
• 17:34
  glad
• 17:34
  to
• 17:34
  find
• 17:34
  somebody.
• 17:35
  I'll
• 17:35
  tell
• 17:35
  you
• 17:35
  what,
• 17:35
  it's,
• 17:36
  I'll
• 17:37
  put
• 17:37
  that
• 17:37
  book
• 17:37
  up
• 17:38
  against
• 17:38
  any
• 17:38
  book
• 17:39
  that's
• 17:39
  been
• 17:39
  written
• 17:39
  about
• 17:40
  domestic.
• 17:40
  The
• 17:40
  book
• 17:41
  is
• 17:41
  not
• 17:41
  a
• 17:41
  baseball
• 17:42
  book,
• 17:42
  though.
• 17:43
  It's
• 17:43
  about
• 17:43
  life,
• 17:44
  baseball
• 17:44
  life
• 17:45
  and
• 17:45
  mostly
• 17:46
  life
• 17:46
  lessons.
• 17:46
  You
• 17:46
  know,
• 17:47
  I
• 17:47
  wrote
• 17:47
  that
• 17:48
  when
• 17:48
  our
• 17:48
  only
• 17:49
  child
• 17:49
  was
• 17:50
  a
• 17:50
  year
• 17:50
  too
• 17:50
  old.
• 17:51
  And
• 17:52
  I,
• 17:52
  with
• 17:53
  all
• 17:53
  the
• 17:53
  health
• 17:53
  stuff
• 17:53
  that
• 17:54
  hit
• 17:54
  me
• 17:54
  right
• 17:54
  after
• 17:55
  my
• 17:55
  shoulder
• 17:56
  injury,
• 17:56
  I
• 17:56
  didn't
• 17:57
  know
• 17:57
  if
• 17:57
  I
• 17:57
  was
• 17:57
  going
• 17:57
  to
• 17:57
  be
• 17:57
  alive
• 17:58
  when,
• 17:58
  you
• 17:59
  know,
• 17:59
  Cody
• 17:59
  was
• 18:00
  going
• 18:00
  to
• 18:00
  be
• 18:00
  a
• 18:00
  teenager.
• 18:01
  And
• 18:01
  so
• 18:03
  the
• 18:03
  biggest
• 18:03
  motivator
• 18:04
  for
• 18:04
  writing
• 18:04
  that
• 18:04
  book
• 18:05
  was
• 18:05
  to
• 18:05
  leave
• 18:06
  stuff
• 18:06
  for
• 18:06
  Cody,
• 18:07
  stuff
• 18:08
  that
• 18:08
  I
• 18:08
  had
• 18:08
  learned.
• 18:09
  So
• 18:09
  it's
• 18:09
  a
• 18:09
  solid
• 18:10
  book
• 18:10
  for,
• 18:11
  you
• 18:11
  know,
• 18:11
  any
• 18:11
  teenager
• 18:12
  or
• 18:12
  young
• 18:13
  people.
• 18:13
  And
• 18:14
  you
• 18:14
  know
• 18:14
  what,
• 18:14
  in
• 18:14
  today's
• 18:15
  world,
• 18:17
  adults
• 18:17
  need
• 18:18
  this
• 18:18
  stuff.
• 18:18
  You
• 18:18
  know,
• 18:19
  it's
• 18:19
  a
• 18:19
  tough
• 18:19
  world
• 18:20
  out
• 18:20
  there.
• 18:20
  Yes.
• 18:21
  And
• 18:21
  there's
• 18:21
  a
• 18:22
  lot
• 18:22
  of
• 18:22
  good
• 18:22
  things
• 18:22
  here.
• 18:22
  I
• 18:23
  say
• 18:23
  that
• 18:23
  all,
• 18:24
  I'm
• 18:24
  very
• 18:25
  humble
• 18:25
  about
• 18:25
  it.
• 18:25
  But
• 18:25
  you
• 18:26
  know,
• 18:26
  I
• 18:26
  tell
• 18:26
  you
• 18:26
  what,
• 18:26
  people
• 18:27
  have
• 18:27
  said
• 18:28
  so
• 18:28
  many
• 18:28
  things
• 18:29
  after
• 18:29
  reading
• 18:30
  that.
• 18:30
  The
• 18:30
  one
• 18:31
  person,
• 18:31
  one
• 18:31
  lady
• 18:31
  said,
• 18:32
  I
• 18:32
  can't,
• 18:33
  I
• 18:33
  can't
• 18:33
  read
• 18:33
  that
• 18:33
  again.
• 18:34
  I,
• 18:34
  I
• 18:34
  started
• 18:35
  and
• 18:35
  I
• 18:35
  couldn't
• 18:35
  go
• 18:36
  to
• 18:36
  sleep.
• 18:36
  I
• 18:36
  was
• 18:36
  up
• 18:36
  till
• 18:37
  4
• 18:37
  o',
• 18:37
  clock,
• 18:37
  I
• 18:38
  had
• 18:38
  to
• 18:38
  finish
• 18:38
  it.
• 18:40
  And
• 18:40
  then
• 18:40
  one
• 18:40
  person,
• 18:41
  the
• 18:41
  guy,
• 18:41
  he
• 18:42
  said,
• 18:42
  I
• 18:42
  went
• 18:42
  to
• 18:42
  the
• 18:42
  hospital
• 18:43
  and
• 18:43
  I
• 18:43
  took
• 18:43
  two
• 18:43
  books.
• 18:44
  I
• 18:44
  put
• 18:44
  your
• 18:44
  book
• 18:44
  in
• 18:45
  the
• 18:45
  Bible.
• 18:46
  I
• 18:46
  took
• 18:46
  it
• 18:47
  off
• 18:47
  and
• 18:47
  your
• 18:48
  book
• 18:48
  saved
• 18:48
  my
• 18:49
  life.
• 18:50
  And
• 18:50
  I
• 18:50
  just
• 18:50
  want
• 18:50
  to
• 18:50
  thank
• 18:51
  you.
• 18:51
  Well,
• 18:51
  you've
• 18:51
  had
• 18:52
  a
• 18:52
  lot
• 18:52
  of,
• 18:52
  you
• 18:53
  survived
• 18:53
  multiple
• 18:54
  life
• 18:54
  threatening
• 18:54
  health
• 18:55
  crisis.
• 18:55
  You
• 18:56
  also,
• 18:56
  unfortunately,
• 18:57
  after
• 18:57
  getting
• 18:57
  traded
• 18:58
  to
• 18:58
  the
• 18:59
  Royals,
• 18:59
  where
• 18:59
  maybe
• 18:59
  you
• 19:00
  thought
• 19:00
  you'd
• 19:00
  be
• 19:00
  a
• 19:01
  starting
• 19:01
  catcher,
• 19:03
  your
• 19:03
  career
• 19:04
  ended
• 19:04
  based
• 19:04
  on
• 19:05
  injuries,
• 19:05
  including
• 19:06
  I
• 19:06
  believe,
• 19:07
  rotator
• 19:07
  cuff
• 19:07
  surgery.
• 19:08
  Correct.
• 19:08
  Or
• 19:08
  rotator
• 19:09
  cuff
• 19:09
  problems.
• 19:10
  Yeah,
• 19:10
  that
• 19:11
  was
• 19:11
  the
• 19:11
  only
• 19:11
  thing
• 19:11
  really
• 19:12
  there.
• 19:12
  It
• 19:12
  just,
• 19:13
  you
• 19:13
  know,
• 19:13
  bad
• 19:13
  timing,
• 19:15
  very
• 19:15
  bad
• 19:15
  timing
• 19:16
  because,
• 19:17
  you
• 19:17
  know,
• 19:17
  the
• 19:17
  Royals
• 19:17
  traded
• 19:18
  for
• 19:18
  me
• 19:18
  to
• 19:18
  be
• 19:18
  their
• 19:19
  starting
• 19:19
  catcher.
• 19:20
  And
• 19:20
  that's
• 19:20
  what
• 19:21
  every
• 19:21
  player
• 19:21
  plays
• 19:22
  a
• 19:22
  game
• 19:22
  for,
• 19:23
  to
• 19:23
  not
• 19:24
  to
• 19:24
  be
• 19:24
  a
• 19:24
  backup,
• 19:25
  but
• 19:25
  to
• 19:25
  be
• 19:25
  a
• 19:26
  starting
• 19:26
  player.
• 19:27
  And
• 19:27
  you
• 19:27
  know,
• 19:28
  the
• 19:28
  Royals
• 19:28
  had
• 19:28
  a
• 19:29
  great
• 19:29
  pitching
• 19:29
  staff,
• 19:30
  probably
• 19:31
  even
• 19:31
  better
• 19:32
  than
• 19:32
  the
• 19:32
  86
• 19:33
  reps
• 19:33
  that
• 19:33
  he
• 19:33
  said
• 19:34
  because
• 19:34
  they
• 19:34
  were
• 19:35
  that
• 19:35
  85
• 19:36
  pitching
• 19:36
  staff
• 19:36
  was
• 19:37
  young
• 19:38
  Orange
• 19:39
  Saber,
• 19:40
  Buddy
• 19:41
  Black
• 19:41
  and
• 19:42
  Dan
• 19:42
  Qusenberry.
• 19:43
  They
• 19:43
  were
• 19:43
  loaded.
• 19:44
  And
• 19:44
  here
• 19:44
  I
• 19:45
  was
• 19:45
  doing
• 19:45
  the,
• 19:46
  doing
• 19:46
  the
• 19:46
  starting
• 19:47
  job
• 19:47
  there.
• 19:47
  And
• 19:48
  they
• 19:48
  traded
• 19:48
  away
• 19:49
  a
• 19:49
  pretty
• 19:49
  good
• 19:49
  darn
• 19:50
  player
• 19:50
  to
• 19:50
  get
• 19:50
  me
• 19:51
  in.
• 19:51
  David
• 19:51
  Co,
• 19:52
  who
• 19:52
  went
• 19:52
  and
• 19:53
  did
• 19:53
  some
• 19:53
  good
• 19:53
  things.
• 19:53
  Unfortunately,
• 19:55
  I,
• 19:55
  I,
• 19:56
  my
• 19:56
  shoulders
• 19:56
  moved
• 19:57
  and
• 19:57
  just
• 19:59
  barely
• 19:59
  couldn't
• 20:00
  get
• 20:00
  back.
• 20:01
  You
• 20:01
  know,
• 20:02
  we
• 20:02
  had
• 20:02
  a
• 20:02
  strike
• 20:02
  in,
• 20:03
  in
• 20:03
  the
• 20:03
  last
• 20:04
  spring
• 20:04
  training,
• 20:04
  and
• 20:05
  that
• 20:05
  hurt
• 20:05
  me
• 20:05
  a
• 20:05
  lot.
• 20:06
  But,
• 20:06
  you
• 20:07
  know,
• 20:07
  that
• 20:07
  hasn't
• 20:08
  been
• 20:08
  the
• 20:09
  biggest
• 20:09
  part
• 20:09
  of
• 20:09
  my
• 20:09
  life.
• 20:10
  I
• 20:10
  mean,
• 20:10
  it
• 20:11
  was
• 20:11
  tough
• 20:11
  losing
• 20:11
  that
• 20:11
  career,
• 20:12
  but,
• 20:12
  you
• 20:13
  know,
• 20:13
  I
• 20:13
  was
• 20:13
  on
• 20:13
  dialysis
• 20:14
  a
• 20:14
  year
• 20:14
  later.
• 20:15
  I've
• 20:15
  had
• 20:16
  four
• 20:16
  kidney
• 20:16
  transplants
• 20:17
  now.
• 20:18
  I
• 20:18
  lost
• 20:18
  my
• 20:19
  ear
• 20:19
  and,
• 20:19
  pardon,
• 20:20
  my
• 20:20
  left
• 20:20
  side
• 20:20
  of
• 20:20
  my
• 20:20
  head,
• 20:21
  to
• 20:21
  cancer.
• 20:22
  I
• 20:22
  had
• 20:22
  three
• 20:22
  cardiac
• 20:23
  arrests
• 20:23
  a
• 20:24
  year
• 20:24
  and
• 20:24
  a
• 20:24
  half
• 20:24
  ago.
• 20:26
  It's
• 20:26
  just
• 20:26
  nuts.
• 20:27
  I
• 20:27
  sleep
• 20:28
  with
• 20:28
  a
• 20:28
  breathing
• 20:28
  machine
• 20:29
  every
• 20:29
  night,
• 20:29
  and
• 20:30
  it's
• 20:30
  crazy.
• 20:31
  But
• 20:31
  you
• 20:31
  know
• 20:31
  what?
• 20:31
  It's
• 20:32
  given
• 20:32
  me
• 20:32
  a
• 20:32
  platform
• 20:34
  that
• 20:34
  I
• 20:34
  just,
• 20:35
  this
• 20:35
  reputation
• 20:36
  grew
• 20:37
  when
• 20:37
  I
• 20:37
  first
• 20:38
  had
• 20:38
  the
• 20:38
  opportunity
• 20:39
  to
• 20:39
  start
• 20:39
  speaking,
• 20:40
  which
• 20:40
  I
• 20:41
  had
• 20:41
  no
• 20:42
  thoughts
• 20:42
  about
• 20:42
  it
• 20:43
  when
• 20:43
  I
• 20:44
  came
• 20:44
  to
• 20:44
  Kansas
• 20:44
  City.
• 20:45
  But
• 20:45
  all
• 20:45
  of
• 20:46
  a
• 20:46
  sudden
• 20:46
  I
• 20:46
  spoke
• 20:46
  at
• 20:46
  a
• 20:47
  Rotary
• 20:47
  Club,
• 20:47
  and
• 20:48
  next
• 20:48
  thing
• 20:48
  you
• 20:48
  know,
• 20:50
  it
• 20:50
  was
• 20:50
  amazing.
• 20:51
  Just
• 20:51
  started
• 20:51
  going
• 20:52
  to
• 20:52
  corporate
• 20:52
  events,
• 20:53
  associations
• 20:54
  all
• 20:54
  over
• 20:55
  the
• 20:55
  country.
• 20:55
  And
• 20:55
  I
• 20:56
  used
• 20:56
  to
• 20:56
  do
• 20:56
  an
• 20:57
  80
• 20:57
  to
• 20:57
  90
• 20:57
  single
• 20:58
  daytons
• 20:58
  a
• 20:58
  year
• 20:59
  up
• 21:00
  until
• 21:00
  Covid
• 21:01
  a
• 21:01
  few
• 21:01
  years
• 21:02
  back.
• 21:02
  And
• 21:03
  I'll
• 21:03
  tell
• 21:03
  you,
• 21:04
  I
• 21:04
  think
• 21:04
  I
• 21:05
  sent
• 21:06
  you
• 21:06
  a
• 21:06
  message
• 21:06
  and
• 21:06
  said
• 21:07
  the
• 21:07
  speaking
• 21:08
  I've
• 21:08
  done
• 21:08
  the
• 21:08
  last
• 21:08
  35
• 21:09
  years
• 21:10
  has
• 21:10
  been
• 21:10
  better
• 21:11
  than
• 21:11
  being
• 21:11
  a
• 21:11
  major
• 21:11
  league
• 21:12
  baseball
• 21:12
  player.
• 21:13
  And
• 21:13
  that
• 21:13
  is
• 21:13
  the
• 21:14
  truth.
• 21:15
  Well,
• 21:16
  you've
• 21:17
  used
• 21:17
  up
• 21:17
  a
• 21:17
  couple
• 21:17
  of
• 21:18
  your
• 21:18
  nine
• 21:18
  lives
• 21:18
  and
• 21:19
  hopefully
• 21:19
  you
• 21:19
  have
• 21:19
  a
• 21:19
  bunch
• 21:20
  left.
• 21:20
  But,
• 21:21
  you
• 21:21
  know,
• 21:21
  you,
• 21:22
  you
• 21:22
  obviously
• 21:23
  you
• 21:23
  had
• 21:23
  to
• 21:23
  go
• 21:24
  through
• 21:24
  some
• 21:24
  stuff.
• 21:24
  You
• 21:24
  battled
• 21:25
  cancer
• 21:25
  yourself,
• 21:25
  you're
• 21:26
  taking
• 21:26
  pills,
• 21:26
  you're
• 21:27
  trying
• 21:27
  to
• 21:27
  keep
• 21:27
  your
• 21:28
  life
• 21:28
  going,
• 21:28
  but
• 21:28
  you,
• 21:28
  but
• 21:29
  then
• 21:29
  you
• 21:29
  had
• 21:29
  to
• 21:29
  become
• 21:29
  a
• 21:29
  caregiver
• 21:30
  for
• 21:30
  your
• 21:30
  own
• 21:30
  child.
• 21:31
  And,
• 21:31
  you
• 21:31
  know,
• 21:31
  you
• 21:32
  talk
• 21:32
  a
• 21:32
  little
• 21:32
  bit
• 21:32
  in
• 21:32
  the
• 21:32
  book
• 21:33
  about
• 21:33
  like
• 21:33
  that
• 21:33
  bottom
• 21:34
  of
• 21:34
  the
• 21:34
  ninth
• 21:34
  mentality
• 21:35
  where
• 21:35
  you
• 21:36
  have
• 21:36
  to
• 21:36
  have
• 21:36
  eyes
• 21:36
  on
• 21:36
  a
• 21:37
  bigger
• 21:37
  prize
• 21:37
  and
• 21:37
  you
• 21:37
  kind
• 21:38
  of
• 21:38
  have
• 21:38
  to
• 21:38
  get
• 21:39
  through
• 21:39
  those
• 21:39
  stresses.
• 21:40
  To
• 21:40
  use
• 21:40
  that
• 21:40
  terminology,
• 21:42
  was
• 21:43
  that
• 21:43
  harder
• 21:43
  to
• 21:43
  deal
• 21:44
  with
• 21:44
  some
• 21:44
  of
• 21:44
  the
• 21:44
  stuff
• 21:44
  with
• 21:45
  your
• 21:45
  own
• 21:45
  son
• 21:45
  than
• 21:45
  it
• 21:46
  is
• 21:46
  for
• 21:46
  some
• 21:46
  of
• 21:47
  the
• 21:47
  battles
• 21:47
  that
• 21:47
  you
• 21:47
  went
• 21:48
  through?
• 21:49
  You
• 21:49
  know,
• 21:50
  it
• 21:50
  is
• 21:50
  harder
• 21:51
  when
• 21:51
  it's
• 21:51
  your
• 21:51
  child.
• 21:52
  It's
• 21:53
  definitely
• 21:53
  hard.
• 21:55
  Fortunately,
• 21:56
  he
• 21:56
  is
• 21:57
  in
• 21:58
  remission.
• 21:59
  You
• 21:59
  know,
• 21:59
  he
• 21:59
  got
• 21:59
  in
• 22:00
  remission
• 22:00
  very
• 22:00
  quickly.
• 22:01
  The
• 22:01
  problem
• 22:02
  with
• 22:02
  my
• 22:02
  stuff
• 22:03
  is
• 22:03
  it's
• 22:04
  just
• 22:04
  been
• 22:04
  constant
• 22:05
  over
• 22:05
  the
• 22:05
  last
• 22:05
  35
• 22:06
  years.
• 22:07
  I've
• 22:07
  been
• 22:07
  taking.
• 22:07
  You
• 22:08
  mentioned
• 22:08
  the
• 22:08
  pills,
• 22:09
  as
• 22:09
  you
• 22:09
  said
• 22:10
  that.
• 22:10
  I'm
• 22:10
  thinking,
• 22:10
  well,
• 22:10
  he
• 22:11
  doesn't
• 22:11
  mean
• 22:11
  those.
• 22:11
  I
• 22:11
  take
• 22:12
  about
• 22:12
  50
• 22:12
  pills
• 22:12
  a
• 22:13
  day,
• 22:13
  and
• 22:13
  I
• 22:13
  have
• 22:14
  for
• 22:14
  almost
• 22:14
  35
• 22:15
  years.
• 22:15
  It's
• 22:16
  absolutely
• 22:17
  nuts.
• 22:17
  But
• 22:18
  like
• 22:18
  you
• 22:19
  said,
• 22:20
  you
• 22:20
  know,
• 22:20
  how
• 22:20
  do
• 22:20
  you
• 22:20
  rattle
• 22:21
  this
• 22:21
  stuff?
• 22:21
  And
• 22:22
  that's
• 22:23
  one
• 22:23
  of
• 22:23
  the
• 22:24
  greatest
• 22:24
  seeds
• 22:25
  and
• 22:25
  messages
• 22:25
  that
• 22:25
  I
• 22:26
  share
• 22:26
  with
• 22:26
  people
• 22:27
  is
• 22:27
  what
• 22:28
  you
• 22:28
  have
• 22:28
  to
• 22:28
  do.
• 22:29
  You
• 22:29
  know,
• 22:30
  you
• 22:30
  can
• 22:30
  say,
• 22:30
  well,
• 22:31
  I
• 22:31
  gotta
• 22:31
  get
• 22:31
  it
• 22:31
  out.
• 22:31
  I
• 22:31
  gotta
• 22:32
  be
• 22:32
  tough.
• 22:32
  You
• 22:33
  know
• 22:33
  what
• 22:33
  you
• 22:33
  gotta
• 22:33
  do?
• 22:34
  You
• 22:34
  have
• 22:34
  to
• 22:34
  get
• 22:35
  perspective.
• 22:37
  That's
• 22:37
  what
• 22:37
  you
• 22:38
  have
• 22:38
  to
• 22:38
  do
• 22:38
  when
• 22:38
  you're
• 22:38
  battling
• 22:39
  stuff.
• 22:40
  You're
• 22:40
  facing
• 22:40
  nice
• 22:41
  curve,
• 22:41
  you
• 22:41
  got
• 22:42
  to
• 22:42
  get
• 22:42
  perspective.
• 22:43
  Just
• 22:43
  like
• 22:43
  when
• 22:43
  you're
• 22:43
  hitting.
• 22:44
  You
• 22:45
  know,
• 22:45
  the
• 22:45
  problem
• 22:46
  with
• 22:46
  hitting
• 22:46
  curveball
• 22:47
  is,
• 22:48
  you

  curveball
• 22:50
  don't
• 22:51
  recognize
• 22:52
  and
• 22:52
  they
• 22:52
  don't
• 22:52
  have
• 22:53
  the
• 22:53
  perspective.
• 22:54
  It's
• 22:54
  just
• 22:54
  like
• 22:54
  in
• 22:55
  life,
• 22:55
  if
• 22:56
  you
• 22:56
  can't
• 22:57
  get
• 22:57
  a
• 22:58
  good
• 22:58
  perspective
• 22:59
  when
• 23:00
  you're
• 23:00
  going
• 23:00
  through
• 23:00
  life's
• 23:01
  curves,
• 23:02
  you
• 23:02
  know,
• 23:02
  it's
• 23:03
  a
• 23:03
  tough
• 23:03
  battle.
• 23:04
  You
• 23:04
  can
• 23:04
  be
• 23:04
  as
• 23:04
  tough
• 23:05
  as
• 23:05
  you
• 23:05
  want,
• 23:06
  but
• 23:06
  it
• 23:06
  takes
• 23:07
  a
• 23:07
  good
• 23:07
  perspective.
• 23:08
  And
• 23:08
  everybody
• 23:09
  wants
• 23:09
  to
• 23:09
  know,
• 23:09
  how
• 23:09
  do
• 23:09
  you
• 23:09
  get
• 23:09
  a
• 23:10
  good
• 23:10
  perspective?
• 23:10
  You
• 23:11
  know,
• 23:11
  what's
• 23:11
  the
• 23:11
  right
• 23:11
  perspective?
• 23:12
  Well,
• 23:12
  if
• 23:13
  it's
• 23:13
  not
• 23:13
  tough,
• 23:13
  what
• 23:14
  is
• 23:14
  it?
• 23:14
  Well,
• 23:15
  I
• 23:15
  tell
• 23:15
  people,
• 23:16
  you
• 23:16
  do
• 23:17
  one
• 23:17
  thing,
• 23:18
  you
• 23:18
  think
• 23:19
  outside.
• 23:20
  And
• 23:20
  you
• 23:21
  know,
• 23:21
  when
• 23:21
  I
• 23:21
  say
• 23:21
  that
• 23:21
  to
• 23:21
  an
• 23:22
  audience,
• 23:22
  they
• 23:22
  go
• 23:22
  vox,
• 23:24
  think
• 23:24
  outside
• 23:24
  the
• 23:25
  box.
• 23:25
  I'm
• 23:25
  like,
• 23:25
  oh,
• 23:25
  my
• 23:26
  God.
• 23:26
  I
• 23:26
  think
• 23:27
  like
• 23:27
  I'm
• 23:27
  throwing
• 23:28
  up.
• 23:29
  It's
• 23:29
  not
• 23:30
  about
• 23:30
  a
• 23:30
  box.
• 23:31
  You
• 23:31
  stop
• 23:31
  thinking
• 23:32
  outside
• 23:33
  yourself.
• 23:35
  That's
• 23:35
  how
• 23:35
  you
• 23:36
  get
• 23:36
  perceptive
• 23:37
  to
• 23:37
  help
• 23:37
  you
• 23:38
  to
• 23:38
  battle
• 23:38
  almost
• 23:39
  anything
• 23:39
  in
• 23:40
  life.
• 23:40
  And,
• 23:41
  you
• 23:41
  know,
• 23:41
  fortunately
• 23:42
  I
• 23:42
  learned
• 23:43
  that
• 23:43
  and
• 23:44
  it's,
• 23:44
  it's
• 23:44
  allowed
• 23:45
  me
• 23:45
  to
• 23:45
  stay
• 23:45
  alive.
• 23:46
  That
• 23:46
  and
• 23:47
  the
• 23:47
  wonderful
• 23:47
  lady,
• 23:48
  woman,
• 23:49
  young
• 23:49
  gal
• 23:50
  that

• 23:52
  New

  York
• 23:52
  with

  down
• 23:54
  the

  street
• 23:54
  from

  she's
• 23:56
  from
• 23:56
  Lyndenhurst,
• 23:57
  Long
• 23:57
  Island.
• 23:58
  There
• 23:58
  you
• 23:58
  go.
• 23:58
  And
• 23:59
  38

  I'll

  you
• 25:25
  how

  it

  happened.

  We

  they,

  just
• 25:34
  like
• 25:34
  hooked
• 25:35
  up
• 25:35
  like
• 25:36
  Oreo
• 25:37
  cookies.
• 25:39
  Might
• 25:39
  get
• 25:39
  in
• 25:39
  trouble
• 25:39
  saying
• 25:40
  that.
• 25:40
  No,

  they

  just,
• 25:42
  they
• 25:43
  just
• 25:43
  gelled.
• 25:44
  And
• 25:44
  because
• 25:44
  of
• 25:45
  that,
• 25:46
  Kevin
• 25:46
  and
• 25:46
  I
• 25:47
  became
• 25:47
  extremely
• 25:48
  close.
• 25:49
  And,
• 25:49
  and
• 25:49
  Kevin
• 25:50
  and
• 25:50
  I
• 25:50
  went
• 25:50
  through
• 25:50
  some
• 25:50
  things
• 25:51
  together.
• 25:51
  You

  talk
• 25:57
  about
• 25:57
  a

  you'd
• 25:58
  want
• 25:58
  to
• 25:58
  mess
• 25:59
  with.
• 26:00
  I
• 26:00
  saw

  guy
• 26:01
  that

  And

  was,
• 26:07
  he
• 26:07
  was
• 26:07
  mad

  at

  all
• 26:08
  get

  And

• 26:10
  to
• 26:12
  only
• 26:12
  time.
• 26:13
  And
• 26:14
  because
• 26:14
  we
• 26:14
  had
• 26:14
  built
• 26:15
  this

  relationship.
• 26:16
  Funny

  Oh,

  Good

  Good

  Where

  you
• 26:21
  at

  Game

  Mets

  in
• 26:25
  the
• 26:25
  bottom
• 26:25
  of
• 26:26
  the
• 26:26
  extra
• 26:26
  innings
• 26:26
  and
• 26:27
  making
• 26:27
  a
• 26:28
  comeback
• 26:28
  as
• 26:28
  Gary,
• 26:29
  you
• 26:29
  know,
• 26:29
  leads
• 26:29
  it
• 26:29
  off
• 26:30
  with

  a
• 26:30
  two
• 26:30
  out
• 26:30
  base
• 26:31
  hit.
• 26:31
  What
• 26:31
  were
• 26:31
  you
• 26:31
  doing?
• 26:32
  Well,
• 26:33
  I'll
• 26:33
  tell
• 26:33
  you,
• 26:33
  I
• 26:33
  wasn't
• 26:33
  in
• 26:34
  the
• 26:34
  clubhouse.
• 26:36
  Okay,
• 26:36
  let's
• 26:37
  get
• 26:37
  that
• 26:37
  straight.
• 26:38
  Like
• 26:38
  a
• 26:38
  few
• 26:38
  of
• 26:39
  our
• 26:39
  guys
• 26:39
  were,
• 26:39
  which
• 26:40
  was
• 26:40
  very,
• 26:41
  very
• 26:41
  disappointing
• 26:42
  to
• 26:42
  find
• 26:42
  out
• 26:42
  later.
• 26:43
  Yeah,
• 26:43
  well,
• 26:43
  I
• 26:43
  knew
• 26:44
  that
• 26:44
  Keith
• 26:44
  was
• 26:44
  in,
• 26:44
  was
• 26:45
  in
• 26:45
  Davey's
• 26:45
  chair.
• 26:47
  Keith
• 26:47
  was
• 26:47
  in
• 26:48
  Davies
• 26:48
  chair.
• 26:48
  Yep.
• 26:49
  Strawberry
• 26:49
  and
• 26:50
  Kevin,
• 26:50
  I
• 26:50
  think
• 26:50
  Mitch
• 26:51
  was
• 26:51
  making.
• 26:51
  Making
• 26:52
  plans
• 26:52
  for
• 26:54
  a
• 26:54
  flight.
• 26:54
  Yeah,
• 26:55
  exactly.
• 26:56
  Yeah.
• 26:56
  He
• 26:57
  had
• 26:57
  to
• 26:57
  put
• 26:57
  his
• 26:57
  pants
• 26:57
  back
• 26:58
  on
• 26:58
  to,
• 26:58
  to
• 26:58
  pitch
• 26:59
  it.
• 26:59
  Very
• 26:59
  disappointing
• 27:00
  to
• 27:00
  hear
• 27:01
  Chris.
• 27:01
  And
• 27:02
  it
• 27:02
  was,
• 27:02
  it
• 27:02
  was
• 27:02
  very
• 27:03
  uncharacteristic
• 27:04
  of
• 27:04
  our
• 27:05
  team.
• 27:05
  Right.
• 27:06
  You
• 27:06
  know,
• 27:06
  I
• 27:06
  mean,
• 27:08
  fortunately
• 27:09
  we
• 27:09
  fold
• 27:09
  together
• 27:10
  and
• 27:10
  we
• 27:11
  battled
• 27:11
  and
• 27:12
  you
• 27:12
  know,
• 27:12
  the
• 27:12
  rest
• 27:13
  is
• 27:13
  history.
• 27:13
  But
• 27:14
  where
• 27:14
  was
• 27:14
  I?
• 27:14
  I
• 27:14
  was
• 27:15
  right
• 27:15
  there
• 27:15
  trying
• 27:15
  to
• 27:15
  find
• 27:16
  the
• 27:16
  lucky
• 27:16
  seat.
• 27:19
  You
• 27:19
  know,
• 27:19
  I
• 27:20
  mean,
• 27:20
  that
• 27:20
  space
• 27:20
  software
• 27:21
  is
• 27:21
  real
• 27:21
  superstitious,
• 27:22
  you
• 27:22
  know,
• 27:22
  if
• 27:23
  you
• 27:23
  don't,
• 27:23
  if
• 27:23
  you're
• 27:24
  on
• 27:24
  the
• 27:24
  branch
• 27:24
  and
• 27:24
  you're
• 27:24
  sitting
• 27:25
  in
• 27:25
  one
• 27:25
  spot
• 27:25
  and
• 27:25
  it
• 27:25
  ain't
• 27:25
  working,
• 27:26
  especially
• 27:27
  with
• 27:27
  the,
• 27:28
  you
• 27:28
  know,
• 27:28
  game

  You

  Davey

  Johnson,
• 27:45
  we

• 27:45
  him
• 27:46
  recently
• 27:46
  and
• 27:47
  what
• 27:47
  was
• 27:47
  it
• 27:47
  like?
• 27:48
  You

• 27:49
  he
• 27:49

• 27:49
  as
• 27:49
  a
• 27:50
  manager?
• 27:50
  How

  did
• 27:50
  he
• 27:51
  handle
• 27:51
  everybody

  In

  I'd

  say
• 27:57
  Davey
• 27:57
  was
• 27:58
  a
• 27:58
  player's
• 27:58
  manager,
• 27:59
  which
• 28:00
  means,
• 28:01
  you
• 28:01
  know,
• 28:01
  he
• 28:01
  didn't
• 28:01
  have
• 28:02
  a
• 28:02
  lot
• 28:02
  of

• 28:02
  I

  said

  you

  you
• 28:05
  do

• 28:06
  then
• 28:07
  that's
• 28:07
  it.
• 28:08
  I
• 28:08
  mean,
• 28:08

  Mets

  or
• 28:11
  ESIP
• 28:12
  team,

  And

  you

  know,
• 28:15
  I
• 28:16
  often
• 28:16
  tell

  I'm
• 28:17
  speaking
• 28:19
  to
• 28:19
  organizations,
• 28:20
  I
• 28:20
  talk
• 28:20
  about
• 28:21
  the
• 28:21
  importance
• 28:21
  of

  And

  I

  don't,
• 28:26
  I
• 28:26
  say
• 28:26
  not
• 28:27
  characters
• 28:28
  like
• 28:28
  we
• 28:29
  are

  that
• 28:29
  86
• 28:30

  You

  have
• 28:31
  short
• 28:31
  term
• 28:31
  success.
• 28:32
  I
• 28:32
  mean,
• 28:33
  we
• 28:33
  were,
• 28:33
  we
• 28:33
  were
• 28:34
  solid,
• 28:34
  great,
• 28:34
  but

  you

  it's

  Straw's

  been

  talking

• 32:00
  You

• 32:00
  it's
• 32:00
  going

  again.
• 32:03
  And,
• 32:03
  you
• 32:03
  know,
• 32:03
  this
• 32:04
  team
• 32:04
  needs
• 32:04
  a
• 32:04
  little
• 32:04
  life
• 32:04
  and
• 32:05
  maybe,
• 32:05
  you
• 32:05
  know,
• 32:05
  putting
• 32:06
  some
• 32:06
  fans
• 32:06
  in
• 32:06
  the
• 32:06
  stands
• 32:07
  will
• 32:07
  help
• 32:07
  with
• 32:07
  that
• 32:07
  because
• 32:08
  it's
• 32:09
  been.
• 32:09
  It's
• 32:09
  been
• 32:09
  hard.
• 32:10
  And,
• 32:10
  you
• 32:10
  know,
• 32:10
  they
• 32:10
  have
• 32:10
  a
• 32:11
  new
• 32:11
  owner
• 32:11
  in
• 32:11
  the
• 32:11
  last
• 32:11
  few
• 32:12
  years.
• 32:12
  That's
• 32:12
  been
• 32:12
  promising
• 32:13
  a
• 32:13
  lot.
• 32:13
  It's
• 32:13
  just
• 32:14
  the
• 32:14
  team
• 32:14
  hasn't
• 32:14
  been
• 32:14
  able
• 32:15
  to
• 32:15
  pull
• 32:15
  through.
• 32:15
  So
• 32:16
  I'm
• 32:16
  hoping
• 32:16
  it
• 32:16
  gives
• 32:17
  a
• 32:17
  little
• 32:17
  life
• 32:17
  at
• 32:17
  the
• 32:17
  end
• 32:18
  of
• 32:18
  July,
• 32:18
  beginning
• 32:18
  of
• 32:18
  August.
• 32:20
  Absolutely.
• 32:20
  Chris,
• 32:20
  I
• 32:21
  think
• 32:21
  the
• 32:22
  new
• 32:22
  ownership.
• 32:23
  I
• 32:23
  like
• 32:23
  the
• 32:23
  guy.
• 32:24
  I
• 32:24
  think
• 32:24
  he's.
• 32:25
  He's
• 32:26
  given
• 32:26
  a.
• 32:28
  He's
• 32:29
  all
• 32:29
  in.
• 32:30
  And
• 32:30
  I
• 32:30
  look
• 32:30
  for
• 32:31
  him
• 32:31
  to
• 32:31
  be
• 32:31
  dominating
• 32:32
  with
• 32:32
  the
• 32:32
  Mets
• 32:33
  and
• 32:33
  the
• 32:33
  ownership,
• 32:34
  but
• 32:34
  I
• 32:34
  think
• 32:34
  there's
• 32:35
  some
• 32:35
  people
• 32:36
  between
• 32:36
  him
• 32:37
  and
• 32:37
  the
• 32:37
  field
• 32:38
  that
• 32:39
  are
• 32:39
  dragging
• 32:39
  down
• 32:39
  that
• 32:40
  club
• 32:40
  right
• 32:40
  now.
• 32:41
  So
• 32:41
  I
• 32:41
  think
• 32:42
  he's
• 32:42
  going
• 32:42
  to
• 32:42
  turn
• 32:42
  that
• 32:43
  around
• 32:43
  eventually.
• 32:44
  Fortunately,
• 32:44
  he's
• 32:45
  left
• 32:45
  with
• 32:46
  the
• 32:46
  funds
• 32:46
  to
• 32:46
  be
• 32:46
  able
• 32:46
  to
• 32:47
  do
• 32:47
  it,
• 32:47
  and
• 32:48
  it's
• 32:48
  just
• 32:48
  a
• 32:48
  matter
• 32:48
  of
• 32:48
  figuring
• 32:49
  out
• 32:49
  how
• 32:49
  to
• 32:50
  use
• 32:50
  those
• 32:50
  funds
• 32:51
  wisely,
• 32:52
  bring
• 32:52
  in
• 32:52
  the
• 32:52
  right
• 32:52
  people,
• 32:53
  quality
• 32:54
  people,
• 32:55
  care
• 32:55
  school,
• 32:56
  not
• 32:56
  just
• 32:56
  ball
• 32:56
  players,
• 32:57
  but
• 32:57
  ball
• 32:58
  players
• 32:58
  with
• 32:58
  character.
• 32:59
  And
• 32:59
  I'll
• 32:59
  tell
• 32:59
  you,
• 32:59
  that'll
• 33:00
  make
• 33:00
  long
• 33:01
  term
• 33:01
  success
• 33:01
  and
• 33:02
  Long

• 33:02
  be
• 33:03
  happy
• 33:03
  as
• 33:03
  can
• 33:03
  be
• 33:03
  then.
• 33:04
  All
• 33:04
  right.
• 33:04
  Well,
• 33:05

  of

• 34:28
  we

  a
• 34:29
  nice
• 34:29
  half

  Met

  from

• 34:33
  I
• 34:34
  think
• 34:34
  he
• 34:34
  would
• 34:34
  have
• 34:34
  stayed
• 34:34
  on

• 34:35
  We
• 34:36
  had
• 34:36
  a
• 34:36
  nice
• 34:36
  chat
• 34:37
  and
• 34:37
  he'll
• 34:37
  be
• 34:38
  around
• 34:38
  this
• 34:38
  summer
• 34:38

• 34:43
  We're
• 34:43
  going
• 34:44
  to
• 34:44
  get
• 34:44
  into
• 34:44
  a
• 34:44
  little
• 34:44
  bit
• 34:44
  of

  half
• 34:47
  hour.
• 34:47
  Unbelievable
• 34:48
  run
• 34:49
  they've
• 34:49
  had.
• 34:49
  They
• 34:49
  can't
• 34:50
  lose.
• 34:51
  The
• 34:51
  block
• 34:52
  parties
• 34:52
  have
• 34:52
  been
• 34:52
  canceled
• 34:53
  on
• 34:53
  the
• 34:53
  home
• 34:54
  games
• 34:54
  because
• 34:55
  the
• 34:55
  people
• 34:55
  are
• 34:55
  partying
• 34:56
  too
• 34:56
  much
• 34:57
  outside
• 34:58
  of
• 34:58
  Madison
• 34:58
  Square
• 34:59
  Garden.
• 35:00
  The
• 35:00
  Knicks
• 35:00
  just
• 35:00
  keep
• 35:01
  knocking
• 35:01
  off
• 35:01
  win
• 35:01
  after
• 35:02
  win
• 35:02
  after
• 35:02
  win.
• 35:04
  And
• 35:04
  as
• 35:05
  I
• 35:05
  said,
• 35:05
  the
• 35:05
  Mets
• 35:06
  have
• 35:06
  not
• 35:06
  had
• 35:06
  such
• 35:07
  a
• 35:07
  good
• 35:07
  run.
• 35:08
  And
• 35:08
  I
• 35:08
  think
• 35:08
  things
• 35:08
  are
• 35:09
  starting
• 35:09
  to
• 35:09
  turn
• 35:10
  towards
• 35:10
  the
• 35:10
  negative
• 35:11
  for
• 35:11
  the
• 35:12
  entire
• 35:12
  season.
• 35:12
  But
• 35:14
  you
• 35:14
  know,
• 35:14
  at
• 35:14
  some
• 35:15
  point
• 35:15
  we
• 35:15
  wanted
• 35:15
  to
• 35:16
  discuss
• 35:17
  some
• 35:17
  of
• 35:17
  the
• 35:17
  NFL
• 35:18
  draft
• 35:18
  and
• 35:19
  especially
• 35:19
  the
• 35:19
  Giants
• 35:20
  and
• 35:20
  some
• 35:20
  of
• 35:20
  the
• 35:20
  moves
• 35:21
  they
• 35:21
  made
• 35:21
  and
• 35:21
  the
• 35:21
  jets
• 35:22
  and
• 35:22
  some
• 35:22
  of
• 35:22
  the
• 35:22
  moves
• 35:23
  they
• 35:23
  made.
• 35:24
  So
• 35:24
  at
• 35:24
  this
• 35:25
  point,
• 35:25
  I'm
• 35:25
  going
• 35:26
  to
• 35:26
  open
• 35:26
  up
• 35:26
  the
• 35:26
  phone
• 35:27
  lines
• 35:27
  516623,
• 35:28
  1240.
• 35:30
  And
• 35:30
  if
• 35:30
  you
• 35:30
  want
• 35:30
  to
• 35:30
  call
• 35:31
  in
• 35:31
  and
• 35:31
  talk
• 35:31
  about
• 35:31
  the
• 35:31
  NFL
• 35:32
  draft
• 35:32
  or
• 35:32
  the
• 35:32
  Knicks,
• 35:33
  Mets,
• 35:33
  whatever
• 35:34
  it
• 35:34
  is,
• 35:34
  you
• 35:34
  can
• 35:34
  call
• 35:34
  in.
• 35:35
  We
• 35:35
  have
• 35:35
  our
• 35:36
  first
• 35:36
  call
• 35:36
  tonight
• 35:36
  and
• 35:37
  that
• 35:37
  is
• 35:37
  Colin.
• 35:38
  Colin
• 35:38
  is
• 35:38
  calling
• 35:39
  in
• 35:39
  to
• 35:39
  talk
• 35:39
  about
• 35:39
  the
• 35:39
  NFL
• 35:40
  draft.
• 35:40
  How
• 35:40
  you
• 35:40
  doing,
• 35:41
  Colin?
• 35:42
  Pretty
• 35:42
  good.
• 35:44
  So
• 35:44
  you,
• 35:44
  you
• 35:45
  had
• 35:45
  some
• 35:45
  eyes
• 35:46
  on
• 35:46
  the
• 35:46
  NFL
• 35:47
  draft
• 35:47
  this
• 35:47
  year.
• 35:47
  What
• 35:48
  did
• 35:48
  you
• 35:48
  first
• 35:49
  notice?
• 35:49
  What's,
• 35:49
  what's
• 35:50
  like
• 35:50
  a
• 35:50
  team
• 35:50
  that,
• 35:51
  that
• 35:51
  maybe
• 35:51
  you
• 35:51
  thought
• 35:52
  had
• 35:52
  a
• 35:52
  good
• 35:52
  draft.
• 35:54
  I
• 35:55
  think
• 35:55
  the
• 35:55
  Giants
• 35:55
  had
• 35:55
  a
• 35:56
  really
• 35:56
  good
• 35:56
  draft.
• 35:57
  The
• 35:58
  Cowboys,
• 35:58
  they
• 35:59
  traded
• 35:59
  up
• 35:59
  and
• 35:59
  got
• 36:00
  a
• 36:00
  very
• 36:00
  good
• 36:00
  defensive
• 36:01
  player
• 36:02
  that
• 36:02
  fell
• 36:03
  pretty
• 36:03
  far.
• 36:03
  So
• 36:04
  Caleb
• 36:04
  Downs,
• 36:05
  what
• 36:05
  dropped
• 36:05
  to
• 36:05
  10?
• 36:06
  11,
• 36:07
  I
• 36:07
  think.
• 36:08
  11.
• 36:09
  OK.
• 36:10
  And
• 36:10
  they
• 36:10
  also
• 36:11
  got
• 36:11
  Malachi
• 36:11
  Lawrence
• 36:12
  as
• 36:12
  an
• 36:13
  edge
• 36:13
  runner.
• 36:13
  So
• 36:13
  they
• 36:14
  gave
• 36:14
  themselves
• 36:14
  a
• 36:15
  couple
• 36:15
  of
• 36:15
  players,
• 36:15
  so
• 36:16
  that
• 36:16
  probably
• 36:16
  was
• 36:17
  good
• 36:17
  for
• 36:17
  them.
• 36:17
  Giants
• 36:18
  went
• 36:18
  after
• 36:19
  a
• 36:19
  linebacker
• 36:20
  and
• 36:20
  an
• 36:20
  offensive
• 36:20
  tackle.
• 36:23
  What
• 36:23
  does
• 36:23
  that
• 36:23
  give
• 36:23
  them?
• 36:24
  Which
• 36:24
  guys
• 36:24
  do
• 36:24
  you
• 36:25
  think
• 36:25
  will
• 36:25
  help
• 36:25
  there?
• 36:27
  Oh,
• 36:28
  I
• 36:28
  think
• 36:28
  all
• 36:28
  about.
• 36:28
  Reese
• 36:29
  will
• 36:29
  be
• 36:29
  a
• 36:29
  good,
• 36:30
  like
• 36:30
  defensive
• 36:31
  key
• 36:31
  player
• 36:31
  for
• 36:32
  the
• 36:32
  Giants.
• 36:32
  Another
• 36:32
  Ohio
• 36:33
  State
• 36:33
  guy?
• 36:34
  Yeah,
• 36:35
  I
• 36:36
  think
• 36:36
  he'll
• 36:36
  be
• 36:36
  pretty
• 36:37
  good.
• 36:37
  He'll
• 36:38
  get
• 36:38
  in
• 36:38
  there,
• 36:39
  play
• 36:39
  good
• 36:39
  defense.
• 36:40
  And
• 36:41
  I
• 36:41
  think
• 36:41
  Francis.
• 36:41
  Now
• 36:42
  we
• 36:42
  know
• 36:42
  I
• 36:42
  didn't
• 36:43
  like
• 36:43
  the
• 36:43
  pick
• 36:43
  Effers,
• 36:44
  but
• 36:45
  it
• 36:45
  grew
• 36:45
  on
• 36:45
  me
• 36:46
  and
• 36:46
  I
• 36:46
  think
• 36:46
  I
• 36:47
  like
• 36:47
  it
• 36:47
  now.
• 36:48
  Okay.
• 36:48
  An
• 36:48
  offensive
• 36:49
  tackle
• 36:49
  out
• 36:49
  of
• 36:49
  Miami.
• 36:50
  They
• 36:50
  also
• 36:50
  grabbed
• 36:51
  themselves
• 36:51
  a
• 36:51
  cornerback,
• 36:52
  Colton
• 36:52
  Hood
• 36:53
  out
• 36:53
  of
• 36:53
  Tennessee,
• 36:54
  so.
• 36:55
  And
• 36:55
  they
• 36:55
  did
• 36:55
  get
• 36:56
  another
• 36:56
  wide
• 36:56
  receiver,
• 36:56
  Malachi
• 36:57
  Fields.
• 36:58
  So
• 36:58
  it
• 36:58
  looks
• 36:58
  like
• 36:58
  the
• 36:59
  Giants
• 36:59
  are
• 36:59
  trying
• 36:59
  to
• 37:00
  be
• 37:00
  careful
• 37:00
  about,
• 37:01
  you
• 37:01
  know,
• 37:01
  maybe
• 37:01
  Malik
• 37:02
  neighbors
• 37:02
  not
• 37:02
  being
• 37:03
  ready
• 37:03
  right
• 37:03
  away.
• 37:04
  You
• 37:05
  know,
• 37:05
  as
• 37:05
  sort
• 37:05
  of
• 37:05
  a
• 37:06
  Giants
• 37:06
  fan
• 37:06
  there,
• 37:06
  are
• 37:07
  you
• 37:07
  excited
• 37:07
  about
• 37:07
  what
• 37:08
  they
• 37:08
  have
• 37:08
  coming
• 37:08
  back?
• 37:10
  Yeah,
• 37:11
  I'm
• 37:11
  real
• 37:12
  excited
• 37:12
  about
• 37:12
  Malacoque
• 37:13
  Field.
• 37:13
  He
• 37:14
  had
• 37:14
  a
• 37:15
  good
• 37:15
  minicamp
• 37:16
  so
• 37:16
  far
• 37:16
  and
• 37:17
  he's
• 37:17
  looking
• 37:17
  really
• 37:18
  good
• 37:18
  out
• 37:18
  there.
• 37:20
  They
• 37:20
  did
• 37:20
  trade
• 37:20
  away
• 37:21
  Dexter
• 37:21
  Lawrence.
• 37:21
  You
• 37:22
  think
• 37:22
  that
• 37:22
  was
• 37:22
  something
• 37:22
  they
• 37:22
  needed
• 37:23
  to
• 37:23
  do?
• 37:24
  Yeah,
• 37:24
  I
• 37:24
  like
• 37:25
  that
• 37:25
  trade.
• 37:25
  He
• 37:26
  didn't
• 37:26
  have
• 37:26
  a
• 37:26
  good
• 37:26
  20,
• 37:27
  25
• 37:27
  and
• 37:28
  we
• 37:28
  got
• 37:28
  another
• 37:28
  top
• 37:29
  10
• 37:29
  pick
• 37:29
  and
• 37:29
  we
• 37:30
  got
• 37:30
  a
• 37:30
  good
• 37:30
  tackle
• 37:31
  and
• 37:32
  we
• 37:32
  needed
• 37:32
  a
• 37:32
  line
• 37:32
  help.
• 37:33
  So
• 37:34
  Giants
• 37:35
  have
• 37:35
  to
• 37:35
  protect,
• 37:36
  protect
• 37:36
  Jackson
• 37:37
  dart
• 37:37
  and
• 37:38
  maybe
• 37:38
  you
• 37:38
  think
• 37:39
  Cam
• 37:39
  Scatterboo
• 37:40
  might
• 37:40
  give
• 37:40
  him
• 37:41
  a
• 37:41
  decent
• 37:41
  year
• 37:41
  this
• 37:41
  year?
• 37:43
  Yeah,
• 37:43
  I
• 37:43
  think
• 37:43
  Cam
• 37:44
  Scatter
• 37:44
  will
• 37:44
  have
• 37:44
  a
• 37:44
  really
• 37:45
  good
• 37:45
  year.
• 37:46
  He
• 37:46
  said
• 37:46
  he
• 37:46
  was
• 37:46
  going
• 37:46
  for
• 37:47
  2,000
• 37:47
  yards,
• 37:48
  so
• 37:48
  I'm
• 37:48
  not
• 37:48
  quite
• 37:48
  sure
• 37:48
  that
• 37:49
  will
• 37:49
  happen.
• 37:51
  But
• 37:52
  be
• 37:52
  more
• 37:53
  careful.
• 37:54
  Any
• 37:54
  other
• 37:54
  team
• 37:55
  you
• 37:55
  thought
• 37:55
  had
• 37:56
  a
• 37:56
  good
• 37:56
  draft?
• 38:00
  I
• 38:00
  think
• 38:00
  the
• 38:01
  Bucks
• 38:01
  had
• 38:01
  a
• 38:01
  good
• 38:01
  draft.
• 38:02
  Getting
• 38:02
  Ruben
• 38:02
  Bain
• 38:03
  at
• 38:03
  15.
• 38:04
  I
• 38:05
  think
• 38:05
  he
• 38:05
  fell
• 38:05
  really
• 38:05
  far
• 38:06
  and
• 38:06
  I
• 38:06
  think
• 38:06
  he's
• 38:06
  going
• 38:06
  to
• 38:06
  be
• 38:07
  a
• 38:07
  very
• 38:07
  good
• 38:07
  player.
• 38:08
  Okay.
• 38:10
  The
• 38:10
  Browns
• 38:10
  seem
• 38:10
  to
• 38:11
  get
• 38:11
  themselves
• 38:12
  an
• 38:12
  offensive
• 38:12
  tackle
• 38:13
  and
• 38:13
  a
• 38:14
  wide
• 38:14
  receiver.
• 38:15
  They
• 38:15
  got
• 38:15
  themselves
• 38:16
  Spencer
• 38:17
  Fano
• 38:18
  and
• 38:18
  then
• 38:18
  Casey
• 38:19
  Concepcion,
• 38:20
  so
• 38:20
  that
• 38:20
  was
• 38:20
  good
• 38:20
  for
• 38:21
  them.
• 38:21
  What
• 38:21
  do
• 38:21
  you
• 38:22
  also
• 38:22
  think
• 38:22
  about
• 38:23
  Fernando
• 38:23
  Mendoza?
• 38:24
  You
• 38:24
  think
• 38:24
  he's
• 38:24
  a
• 38:24
  good
• 38:24
  fit
• 38:25
  for
• 38:25
  the
• 38:25
  Raiders?
• 38:27
  Yeah.
• 38:27
  And
• 38:28
  I
• 38:28
  think.
• 38:28
  I
• 38:29
  think
• 38:29
  they
• 38:29
  got.
• 38:29
  They
• 38:29
  got
• 38:30
  Kirk
• 38:30
  Cousins
• 38:30
  in
• 38:30
  the
• 38:31
  off
• 38:31
  season,
• 38:31
  so
• 38:31
  I
• 38:31
  think
• 38:32
  they
• 38:32
  might
• 38:32
  have
• 38:32
  him
• 38:33
  sit
• 38:33
  a
• 38:33
  year,
• 38:33
  watch
• 38:33
  Kirk
• 38:34
  Cousins
• 38:34
  and
• 38:34
  learn
• 38:35
  from
• 38:35
  him
• 38:35
  because
• 38:35
  he's
• 38:35
  a
• 38:36
  veteran.
• 38:38
  All
• 38:38
  right.
• 38:38
  And
• 38:38
  then
• 38:38
  the
• 38:38
  jets
• 38:39
  decided
• 38:39
  at
• 38:39
  2
• 38:40
  to
• 38:40
  take
• 38:40
  David
• 38:40
  Bailey.
• 38:41
  They
• 38:42
  also
• 38:42
  had
• 38:42
  two
• 38:42
  other
• 38:42
  picks
• 38:43
  in
• 38:43
  the
• 38:43
  first
• 38:43
  round.
• 38:45
  Where
• 38:45
  should
• 38:46
  jets
• 38:46
  fans
• 38:46
  feel
• 38:46
  about
• 38:47
  their
• 38:47
  team
• 38:47
  this
• 38:48
  year?
• 38:49
  I
• 38:50
  want
• 38:50
  to
• 38:50
  get
• 38:50
  their
• 38:50
  hopes
• 38:51
  up.
• 38:51
  I
• 38:51
  think
• 38:51
  they
• 38:51
  had
• 38:52
  a
• 38:52
  very
• 38:52
  good
• 38:53
  draft.
• 38:53
  Got
• 38:54
  the
• 38:54
  tight
• 38:54
  end
• 38:54
  at
• 38:54
  16
• 38:56
  and
• 38:56
  then
• 38:57
  Omar
• 38:58
  Cooper
• 38:58
  Jr.
• 38:58
  At
• 38:59
  30.
• 38:59
  It's.
• 38:59
  I
• 39:00
  think
• 39:00
  he's
• 39:00
  very
• 39:00
  good
• 39:01
  and
• 39:01
  he'll
• 39:02
  be
• 39:02
  very
• 39:02
  good.
• 39:03
  Yeah.
• 39:03
  And
• 39:03
  I
• 39:03
  think,
• 39:04
  you
• 39:04
  know,
• 39:05
  for
• 39:05
  the
• 39:05
  Jets,
• 39:05
  I
• 39:05
  think
• 39:06
  they're
• 39:06
  trying
• 39:06
  to,
• 39:07
  you
• 39:07
  know,
• 39:07
  just
• 39:07
  try
• 39:07
  and
• 39:08
  get
• 39:08
  through
• 39:08
  this
• 39:08
  year
• 39:09
  and
• 39:09
  see
• 39:09
  where
• 39:10
  they're
• 39:10
  at.
• 39:12
  Obviously,
• 39:12
  they
• 39:13
  made
• 39:13
  some.
• 39:13
  Some
• 39:14
  big
• 39:14
  selections
• 39:15
  this
• 39:15
  year,
• 39:16
  starting
• 39:16
  out
• 39:16
  with
• 39:16
  some
• 39:17
  defense,
• 39:17
  but
• 39:18
  I
• 39:18
  think
• 39:19
  it's
• 39:19
  going
• 39:19
  to
• 39:20
  be
• 39:20
  pretty
• 39:20
  obvious
• 39:21
  early
• 39:21
  whether
• 39:21
  or
• 39:21
  not
• 39:22
  they're
• 39:22
  going
• 39:22
  to
• 39:22
  be
• 39:22
  competitive
• 39:23
  or
• 39:23
  not.
• 39:24
  Any
• 39:24
  other
• 39:25
  teams
• 39:25
  you
• 39:25
  wanted
• 39:25
  to
• 39:25
  discuss?
• 39:30
  I
• 39:30
  think
• 39:30
  that's
• 39:31
  it.
• 39:31
  All
• 39:31
  right.
• 39:32
  Any
• 39:33
  questions
• 39:33
  from
• 39:33
  me?
• 39:37
  I
• 39:37
  don't
• 39:37
  think
• 39:37
  so.
• 39:38
  All
• 39:38
  right.
• 39:38
  Well,
• 39:38
  I
• 39:38
  appreciate
• 39:39
  the
• 39:39
  phone
• 39:39
  call.
• 39:40
  We
• 39:40
  had
• 39:40
  our
• 39:41
  NFL
• 39:41
  draft
• 39:42
  from
• 39:42
  Colony
• 39:42
  kind
• 39:42
  of
• 39:43
  called
• 39:43
  in,
• 39:43
  basically
• 39:43
  said
• 39:44
  the
• 39:44
  Dallas
• 39:44
  Cowboys
• 39:45
  did
• 39:45
  a
• 39:45
  nice
• 39:45
  job
• 39:45
  moving
• 39:46
  up.
• 39:46
  So
• 39:46
  appreciate
• 39:47
  the
• 39:47
  phone
• 39:47
  call,
• 39:47
  Colin.
• 39:50
  Have
• 39:50
  a
• 39:50
  good
• 39:50
  night.
• 39:52
  All
• 39:52
  right,
• 39:53
  so
• 39:53
  we
• 39:53
  got
• 39:53
  some.
• 39:53
  Some
• 39:54
  NFL
• 39:54
  draft
• 39:55
  there
• 39:55
  as
• 39:56
  Colin
• 39:56
  calls
• 39:56
  in
• 39:57
  and
• 39:57
  gives
• 39:57
  us
• 39:57
  a
• 39:57
  little
• 39:58
  bit
• 39:58
  of
• 39:58
  an
• 39:58
  idea
• 39:58
  of
• 39:59
  what
• 39:59
  teams
• 39:59
  were
• 40:00
  thinking
• 40:00
  and
• 40:00
  what
• 40:00
  teams
• 40:00
  did
• 40:01
  moving
• 40:01
  up.
• 40:01
  You
• 40:02
  know,
• 40:02
  maybe
• 40:02
  we'll
• 40:02
  call
• 40:02
  on
• 40:03
  him
• 40:03
  the
• 40:03
  next
• 40:03
  time
• 40:04
  we
• 40:04
  have
• 40:05
  a
• 40:05
  team
• 40:05
  that
• 40:06
  maybe
• 40:06
  is
• 40:06
  looking
• 40:06
  to
• 40:06
  make
• 40:07
  a
• 40:07
  trade
• 40:07
  or
• 40:07
  move
• 40:08
  up
• 40:08
  in
• 40:08
  the
• 40:08
  standings.
• 40:09
  So
• 40:10
  NFL
• 40:10
  draft,
• 40:11
  I
• 40:11
  think,
• 40:11
  is
• 40:12
  a
• 40:12
  big
• 40:12
  thing
• 40:13
  for
• 40:13
  people.
• 40:13
  And,
• 40:13
  you
• 40:13
  know,
• 40:14
  they're
• 40:14
  moving
• 40:14
  the
• 40:15
  Super
• 40:15
  Bowls
• 40:15
  all
• 40:15
  around.
• 40:16
  They're
• 40:16
  making
• 40:16
  a
• 40:16
  lot
• 40:16
  of
• 40:17
  different
• 40:17
  things
• 40:17
  are
• 40:18
  going
• 40:18
  to
• 40:18
  be
• 40:18
  in
• 40:18
  Nashville
• 40:19
  now.
• 40:19
  So
• 40:19
  the
• 40:20
  NFL
• 40:20
  loves
• 40:21
  to
• 40:21
  make
• 40:21
  a
• 40:21
  highlight
• 40:22
  of
• 40:22
  everything
• 40:23
  when
• 40:24
  they
• 40:24
  have
• 40:24
  to
• 40:24
  reveal
• 40:24
  their
• 40:25
  schedule.
• 40:25
  They
• 40:25
  have
• 40:25
  to
• 40:26
  drop
• 40:26
  little,
• 40:27
  you
• 40:27
  know,
• 40:27
  crumbs
• 40:28
  as
• 40:28
  to
• 40:28
  what's
• 40:29
  going
• 40:29
  to
• 40:29
  be
• 40:29
  the
• 40:29
  big
• 40:29
  game
• 40:29
  here
• 40:30
  or
• 40:30
  what's
• 40:30
  going
• 40:31
  to
• 40:31
  be
• 40:31
  the
• 40:31
  first
• 40:31
  game
• 40:31
  of
• 40:31
  the
• 40:32
  year.
• 40:32
  The
• 40:32
  NFL
• 40:33
  is
• 40:33
  moving
• 40:33
  overseas
• 40:34
  way
• 40:35
  too
• 40:35
  much
• 40:35
  as
• 40:35
  far
• 40:35
  as
• 40:35
  I'm
• 40:36
  concerned,
• 40:37
  but
• 40:37
  I
• 40:37
  think
• 40:37
  it's
• 40:38
  just
• 40:38
  a
• 40:38
  way
• 40:38
  of
• 40:38
  growing
• 40:38
  the
• 40:39
  sport,
• 40:39
  and
• 40:40
  they
• 40:40
  like
• 40:40
  to
• 40:40
  make
• 40:41
  sure
• 40:41
  that
• 40:41
  people
• 40:41
  know
• 40:42
  where
• 40:42
  they're
• 40:42
  going
• 40:42
  to
• 40:42
  be
• 40:42
  on
• 40:43
  a
• 40:43
  certain
• 40:43
  day.
• 40:45
  But
• 40:45
  as
• 40:45
  I
• 40:46
  said,
• 40:46
  we
• 40:46
  were
• 40:46
  talking
• 40:46
  a
• 40:47
  little
• 40:47
  bit
• 40:47
  about
• 40:48
  the
• 40:49
  New
• 40:49
  York
• 40:50
  Knicks
• 40:51
  and
• 40:51
  some
• 40:52
  of
• 40:52
  the
• 40:52
  things
• 40:52
  that
• 40:52
  they
• 40:52
  have
• 40:53
  done
• 40:53
  to
• 40:53
  put
• 40:54
  themselves
• 40:54
  out
• 40:54
  there.
• 40:55
  Now,
• 40:55
  the
• 40:56
  knicks
• 40:57
  have
• 40:57
  won
• 40:57
  10
• 40:57
  games
• 40:58
  in
• 40:58
  a
• 40:58
  row.
• 40:58
  They
• 40:58
  haven't
• 40:59
  lost
• 40:59
  the
• 40:59
  game
• 40:59
  in
• 41:00
  32
• 41:00
  days.
• 41:01
  I
• 41:01
  mean,
• 41:02
  they
• 41:02
  were
• 41:02
  an
• 41:02
  underdog
• 41:03
  last
• 41:03
  night
• 41:04
  and
• 41:04
  they
• 41:04
  hadn't
• 41:04
  lost
• 41:05
  in
• 41:05
  32
• 41:05
  days.
• 41:06
  They're
• 41:07
  up
• 41:07
  three
• 41:07
  nothing
• 41:08
  in
• 41:08
  a
• 41:08
  series
• 41:08
  against
• 41:08
  the
• 41:09
  Cavs
• 41:09
  that
• 41:09
  I
• 41:09
  thought
• 41:09
  would
• 41:10
  probably
• 41:10
  go
• 41:10
  six.
• 41:11
  Where
• 41:11
  that
• 41:11
  series
• 41:12
  turned
• 41:13
  game
• 41:13
  one,
• 41:14
  a
• 41:14
  44
• 41:15
  to
• 41:15
  11
• 41:16
  comeback
• 41:17
  in
• 41:17
  the
• 41:17
  fourth
• 41:18
  quarter
• 41:18
  and
• 41:19
  overtime
• 41:20
  to
• 41:20
  try
• 41:20
  to
• 41:20
  win
• 41:21
  that.
• 41:21
  The
• 41:21
  knicks
• 41:21
  have
• 41:22
  been
• 41:22
  a
• 41:22
  plus
• 41:23
  234
• 41:24
  points
• 41:25
  over
• 41:25
  this
• 41:25
  12
• 41:26
  game
• 41:26
  span.
• 41:27
  Okay?
• 41:27
  You're
• 41:28
  not
• 41:28
  going
• 41:28
  to
• 41:28
  lose
• 41:29
  games
• 41:29
  when
• 41:29
  you're
• 41:30
  beating
• 41:30
  teams
• 41:31
  by
• 41:31
  20
• 41:31
  points.
• 41:31
  The
• 41:32
  only
• 41:32
  two
• 41:32
  games
• 41:32
  they've
• 41:32
  lost
• 41:33
  in
• 41:33
  this
• 41:33
  offseason
• 41:34
  have
• 41:34
  been
• 41:35
  by
• 41:35
  a
• 41:35
  combined
• 41:35
  two
• 41:36
  points.
• 41:36
  You
• 41:36
  know,
• 41:37
  this
• 41:37
  has
• 41:37
  been
• 41:37
  absolutely
• 41:38
  everything
• 41:39
  that
• 41:39
  the
• 41:39
  Knicks
• 41:40
  needed.
• 41:40
  Again.
• 41:41
  516623,
• 41:42
  1240.
• 41:43
  If
• 41:43
  you
• 41:44
  want
• 41:44
  to
• 41:44
  call
• 41:44
  in,
• 41:44
  we
• 41:45
  talked
• 41:45
  a
• 41:45
  little
• 41:45
  bit
• 41:45
  about
• 41:46
  the
• 41:46
  NFL
• 41:47
  draft.
• 41:47
  We'll
• 41:48
  talk
• 41:48
  about
• 41:48
  Mets,
• 41:49
  jets,
• 41:50
  we'll
• 41:50
  talk
• 41:51
  whatever
• 41:51
  sport
• 41:51
  you
• 41:52
  want
• 41:52
  to
• 41:52
  talk
• 41:52
  about.
• 41:52
  But
• 41:53
  my
• 41:53
  thing
• 41:54
  with
• 41:54
  the
• 41:54
  New
• 41:54
  York
• 41:54
  Knicks,
• 41:55
  you
• 41:56
  have
• 41:56
  an
• 41:56
  absolute
• 41:57
  superstar.
• 41:57
  This
• 41:58
  could
• 41:58
  go
• 41:58
  down
• 41:59
  as
• 42:00
  the
• 42:00
  best
• 42:00
  Knicks
• 42:01
  team
• 42:01
  of
• 42:01
  all
• 42:02
  time
• 42:02
  whether
• 42:02
  or
• 42:02
  not
• 42:03
  they
• 42:04
  win
• 42:05
  the
• 42:05
  NBA
• 42:05
  championship.
• 42:06
  Because
• 42:06
  you're
• 42:06
  going
• 42:07
  to
• 42:07
  be
• 42:07
  going

  up

  against

  the

  or
• 42:12
  the

  Oklahoma

  Thunder.
• 42:14
  Okay?
• 42:15
  Both
• 42:15
  teams
• 42:16
  have
• 42:16
  many
• 42:16
  weapons
• 42:17
  that

  you

• 42:20
  with.

  So

  it's

  going

  they

  go

  about

  it.
• 42:24
  I'm
• 42:24
  not

  saying
• 42:24
  the

  Oh,

  it's

  going

  to
• 42:27
  be
• 42:27
  hard
• 42:27
  for

  them

  to

  this

• 42:29
  Are

  they

  going

  Playing

  trying

  to

  that.
• 42:38
  The

  longer

  that

  goes,

  the

  the

  more

  the

  at

  40%

• 42:58
  You

  have

  guys
• 42:58
  like
• 42:59
  Landry
• 42:59
  Shamut
• 43:00
  stepping
• 43:00
  up.
• 43:01
  This
• 43:01
  is
• 43:01
  a
• 43:01
  team
• 43:02
  that
• 43:02
  is
• 43:02
  finding
• 43:02
  ways
• 43:03
  to
• 43:03
  win.
• 43:04
  And
• 43:04
  every

  time
• 43:04
  I
• 43:05
  seem
• 43:05
  to
• 43:05
  find
• 43:05
  little
• 43:06
  flaws,
• 43:07
  it
• 43:07
  seems
• 43:07
  like
• 43:07
  they
• 43:08
  find
• 43:08
  a

  Again,
• 43:13
  you're
• 43:13
  not
• 43:13
  going
• 43:14
  to
• 43:14
  lose
• 43:14
  games
• 43:14
  when
• 43:14
  you're
• 43:15
  making
• 43:15
  the
• 43:15
  two
• 43:15
  pointers
• 43:16
  and
• 43:16
  you're
• 43:16
  knocking
• 43:17
  down
• 43:17
  40%
• 43:17
  of
• 43:18
  your
• 43:18

• 43:19
  from
• 43:19
  three
• 43:19
  point
• 43:19
  range.
• 43:20
  This
• 43:20
  team
• 43:21
  seems
• 43:22
  to
• 43:22
  be
• 43:22
  destined
• 43:22
  right
• 43:23
  now
• 43:23
  for
• 43:23
  something
• 43:23
  big.
• 43:24
  You
• 43:24
  know,
• 43:25
  sometimes
• 43:25
  people
• 43:25
  look
• 43:26
  out
• 43:26
  there
• 43:26
  and
• 43:26
  they
• 43:26
  say,
• 43:26
  oh,
• 43:26
  this
• 43:27
  is
• 43:27
  a
• 43:27
  six
• 43:27
  seed
• 43:27
  and
• 43:28
  eventually
• 43:28
  when
• 43:28
  they
• 43:29
  get
• 43:29
  to
• 43:29
  the
• 43:29
  finals,
• 43:29
  they're
• 43:29
  going
• 43:30
  to
• 43:30
  have
• 43:30
  no
• 43:30
  shot.
• 43:31
  Sometimes
• 43:32
  there
• 43:32
  are
• 43:32
  teams
• 43:33
  of
• 43:33
  destiny.
• 43:34
  Teams
• 43:35
  that
• 43:35
  find
• 43:35
  a
• 43:35
  way
• 43:35
  to
• 43:35
  win
• 43:36
  even
• 43:36
  when
• 43:36
  they're
• 43:37
  not
• 43:37
  supposed
• 43:37
  to
• 43:37
  win.
• 43:39
  This
• 43:39
  Team
• 43:39
  could
• 43:40
  be
• 43:40
  it.
• 43:42
  New

  is

  in
• 43:43
  for
• 43:44
  a
• 43:44
  rude
• 43:44
  awakening.
• 43:45
  If
• 43:45
  the
• 43:45
  Knicks
• 43:45
  make
• 43:46
  the
• 43:46
  NBA
• 43:47
  Finals,
• 43:48
  they
• 43:48
  will
• 43:48
  play
• 43:49
  a

  bunch
• 43:50
  of
• 43:50
  games
• 43:50
  at

  home.
• 43:52
  A
• 43:52
  bunch
• 43:53
  of
• 43:53
  games.
• 43:53
  If
• 43:54
  the

  Knicks
• 43:54
  happen

  to

  the
• 43:58
  NBA
• 43:58
  Championship,
• 43:59
  New
• 43:59
  York
• 44:00
  will
• 44:00
  be
• 44:00
  an
• 44:00
  absolute
• 44:01
  massacre
• 44:02
  of
• 44:03
  people
• 44:03
  just
• 44:03
  running
• 44:04
  around,
• 44:04
  rioting,
• 44:04
  looting.
• 44:05
  It
• 44:06
  will
• 44:06
  be
• 44:06
  insane.
• 44:08
  Here
• 44:09
  is
• 44:09
  a

  stat
• 44:09
  for

  you.

  the

• 44:16
  again,
• 44:16
  not
• 44:16
  the
• 44:16
  biggest
• 44:17
  superstar,
• 44:18
  but
• 44:18
  knows
• 44:19
  his
• 44:19
  role,
• 44:19
  knows
• 44:20
  how
• 44:20
  to
• 44:20
  play
• 44:20
  defense,
• 44:21
  knows

  how
• 44:21
  to
• 44:21
  move
• 44:22
  around,
• 44:22
  knows
• 44:23
  how
• 44:23
  to
• 44:23
  make
• 44:23
  a
• 44:23
  shot
• 44:24
  when
• 44:24
  he's
• 44:24
  open.
• 44:25
  Josh
• 44:25
  Hart
• 44:26
  is
• 44:26
  the
• 44:26
  man,
• 44:27
  as
• 44:27
  far
• 44:27
  as,
• 44:27
  you
• 44:27
  know,

  putting

  up

  27,

  29
• 44:29

• 44:29
  a

  when

  he
• 44:30
  needs
• 44:31
  to.
• 44:31
  But
• 44:32
  I
• 44:32
  think
• 44:32
  the
• 44:32
  key
• 44:33
  to
• 44:33
  this
• 44:33
  team
• 44:33
  is
• 44:33
  Mikhail
• 44:34
  Bridges.
• 44:35
  Mikhail
• 44:35
  Bridges
• 44:36
  just
• 44:36
  joined
• 44:37
  LeBron
• 44:37

• 44:38
  as
• 44:38
  one
• 44:39
  of
• 44:39
  only
• 44:39
  two
• 44:39
  players
• 44:40
  shooting
• 44:41
  50%
• 44:42
  from
• 44:42
  the
• 44:42

• 44:43
  while
• 44:44
  helping
• 44:44
  their
• 44:44
  team
• 44:45
  win
• 44:45
  10

  50%

• 44:52
  And
• 44:52
  that's
• 44:52
  what
• 44:52
  you
• 44:53
  need,
• 44:53
  a
• 44:53
  guy
• 44:53
  who's
• 44:54
  going
• 44:54
  to
• 44:54
  the
• 44:54
  basket,
• 44:55
  a
• 44:55
  guy
• 44:55
  who's
• 44:56
  shooting
• 44:56
  the
• 44:56
  three,
• 44:57
  a
• 44:57
  guy
• 44:57
  who
• 44:57
  knocks
• 44:58
  down
• 44:58
  a
• 44:58
  little
• 44:58
  jumper
• 44:58
  in

  the

  lane.
• 44:59
  More
• 45:00
  importantly,
• 45:00
  his
• 45:00
  defense.
• 45:01
  He's
• 45:02
  got
• 45:02
  to
• 45:02
  be
• 45:02
  able
• 45:02
  to

• 45:46
  don't
• 45:46
  think
• 45:47
  there
• 45:47
  was
• 45:47
  another
• 45:47
  team
• 45:48
  that
• 45:48
  was
• 45:48
  going
• 45:49
  to
• 45:49
  catch
• 45:49
  them.
• 45:49
  Even
• 45:50
  if
• 45:50
  it
• 45:50
  wasn't
• 45:52
  the
• 45:53
  Cavaliers.
• 45:54
  Okay.
• 45:54
  Even
• 45:54
  if
• 45:55
  the
• 45:55
  Detroit
• 45:56
  Pistons
• 45:56
  had
• 45:57
  gotten
• 45:57
  in,
• 45:57
  gotten
• 45:58
  through
• 45:58
  game
• 45:58
  seven,
• 45:59
  I
• 45:59
  think
• 45:59
  the
• 45:59
  Knicks
• 46:00
  on
• 46:00
  the
• 46:00
  road
• 46:00
  would
• 46:00
  have
• 46:00
  taken
• 46:01
  care
• 46:01
  of
• 46:01
  business
• 46:02
  because
• 46:02
  they
• 46:03
  were
• 46:03
  down
• 46:03
  this
• 46:03
  year.
• 46:04
  And
• 46:04
  I
• 46:04
  think
• 46:04
  it's
• 46:04
  just
• 46:05
  a
• 46:05
  team
• 46:05
  of
• 46:05
  destiny.
• 46:06
  You
• 46:06
  know,
• 46:06
  I'll
• 46:06
  give
• 46:07
  one
• 46:07
  more
• 46:07
  thing
• 46:07
  on
• 46:07
  that.
• 46:08
  You
• 46:08
  got
• 46:08
  to
• 46:08
  stay
• 46:08
  healthy.
• 46:09
  And
• 46:09
  the
• 46:09
  Knicks
• 46:10
  at
• 46:10
  this
• 46:10
  point
• 46:10
  have
• 46:10
  found
• 46:11
  a
• 46:11
  way
• 46:11
  to
• 46:11
  stay
• 46:12
  healthy.
• 46:12
  The
• 46:13
  numbers
• 46:13
  work
• 46:13
  out
• 46:13
  good
• 46:13
  for
• 46:14
  them.
• 46:15
  The
• 46:16
  minutes
• 46:17
  for
• 46:17
  the
• 46:17
  bench
• 46:17
  players.
• 46:18
  The
• 46:18
  bench
• 46:18
  players
• 46:18
  have
• 46:19
  spent
• 46:19
  more
• 46:19
  time
• 46:20
  playing
• 46:20
  together.
• 46:21
  And
• 46:21
  I
• 46:21
  think
• 46:21
  that's
• 46:22
  a
• 46:22
  key.
• 46:22
  You
• 46:23
  know,
• 46:23
  the,
• 46:24
  the
• 46:24
  fact
• 46:24
  that
• 46:25
  last
• 46:25
  year
• 46:25
  they
• 46:25
  weren't
• 46:26
  healthy
• 46:26
  year
• 46:26
  before,
• 46:27
  people
• 46:27
  getting
• 46:28
  hurt.
• 46:28
  So
• 46:29
  I
• 46:29
  think
• 46:29
  this
• 46:29
  year
• 46:29
  with
• 46:29
  people
• 46:30
  staying
• 46:30
  healthy
• 46:31
  OG
• 46:31
  Ananubi
• 46:32
  did,
• 46:33
  you
• 46:33
  know,
• 46:34
  go
• 46:34
  out
• 46:35
  for
• 46:35
  a
• 46:35
  small
• 46:35
  period
• 46:35
  of
• 46:36
  time.
• 46:36
  But
• 46:36
  they
• 46:36
  got
• 46:36
  them
• 46:36
  back
• 46:37
  and
• 46:39
  just
• 46:39
  at
• 46:39
  this
• 46:39
  point
• 46:40
  other
• 46:40
  guys
• 46:40
  have
• 46:40
  stepped
• 46:41
  up
• 46:41
  and
• 46:41
  it's
• 46:41
  nice
• 46:41
  to
• 46:42
  see
• 46:42
  Mitchell
• 46:42
  Robinson's
• 46:43
  got
• 46:43
  to
• 46:43
  work
• 46:43
  on
• 46:43
  his
• 46:43
  free
• 46:43
  throws.
• 46:44
  I
• 46:44
  don't
• 46:45
  know
• 46:45
  if
• 46:45
  that
• 46:45
  will
• 46:45
  become
• 46:46
  an
• 46:46
  issue,
• 46:46
  but
• 46:47
  they
• 46:47
  are
• 46:47
  going
• 46:47
  to
• 46:47
  go
• 46:47
  to
• 46:47
  Hackamich
• 46:48
  at
• 46:48
  some
• 46:48
  point
• 46:49
  to
• 46:49
  try
• 46:49
  to
• 46:49
  slow
• 46:49
  up
• 46:50
  the
• 46:50
  game
• 46:50
  a
• 46:50
  little
• 46:50
  bit
• 46:51
  and
• 46:51
  maybe
• 46:52
  get
• 46:52
  a
• 46:52
  couple
• 46:52
  of
• 46:52
  free
• 46:52
  throw
• 46:53
  misses
• 46:53
  from
• 46:53
  him.
• 46:54
  But
• 46:54
  I
• 46:54
  think
• 46:55
  he's
• 46:55
  done
• 46:55
  a
• 46:55
  serviceable
• 46:56
  job.
• 46:56
  Guys
• 46:57
  off
• 46:57
  the
• 46:57
  bench
• 46:57
  like
• 46:57
  Alvarado
• 46:58
  have
• 46:58
  done
• 46:59
  a
• 46:59
  decent
• 46:59
  job.
• 47:00
  Everybody
• 47:00
  knows
• 47:01
  their
• 47:01
  role,
• 47:02
  but
• 47:02
  this
• 47:04
  Jalen
• 47:04
  Brunson's
• 47:05
  team
• 47:06
  and
• 47:06
  the
• 47:06
  guys
• 47:07
  that
• 47:07
  need
• 47:07
  to
• 47:07
  be
• 47:07
  behind
• 47:08
  him.
• 47:08
  Karl
• 47:08
  Anthony
• 47:09
  Towns
• 47:09
  knows
• 47:10
  he's
• 47:10
  got
• 47:10
  to
• 47:10
  play
• 47:10
  big
• 47:11
  inside.
• 47:11
  Mikhail
• 47:12
  Bridges
• 47:12
  knows
• 47:13
  he's
• 47:13
  got
• 47:13
  to
• 47:13
  defend
• 47:13
  one
• 47:13
  of
• 47:14
  the
• 47:14
  best
• 47:14
  players.
• 47:14
  Josh
• 47:15
  Hart
• 47:15
  knows
• 47:15
  that
• 47:15
  he
• 47:16
  has
• 47:16
  to
• 47:16
  make
• 47:16
  sure
• 47:16
  he
• 47:17
  does
• 47:17
  the
• 47:17
  little
• 47:17
  things
• 47:18
  to
• 47:18
  get
• 47:18
  it
• 47:18
  done
• 47:18
  as
• 47:18
  well.
• 47:19
  But
• 47:19
  this
• 47:20
  is
• 47:20
  a
• 47:20
  good
• 47:20
  team
• 47:21
  and
• 47:21
  I'm
• 47:22
  not
• 47:22
  going
• 47:22
  to
• 47:22
  count
• 47:22
  them
• 47:22
  out.
• 47:22
  If
• 47:23
  they
• 47:23
  make
• 47:23
  it
• 47:23
  to
• 47:23
  the
• 47:23
  NBA
• 47:24
  Finals,
• 47:24
  I
• 47:25
  think
• 47:25
  the
• 47:25
  Knicks
• 47:25
  can
• 47:26
  win
• 47:26
  the
• 47:26
  NBA
• 47:27
  Championship.
• 47:28
  Now
• 47:29
  did
• 47:29
  I
• 47:29
  think
• 47:29
  they
• 47:29
  were
• 47:30
  going
• 47:30
  to
• 47:30
  win
• 47:30
  all
• 47:30
  of
• 47:30
  these
• 47:30
  in
• 47:31
  sweeps?
• 47:31
  No.
• 47:32
  But
• 47:32
  that
• 47:32
  is
• 47:33
  another
• 47:33
  reason
• 47:33
  why
• 47:34
  I
• 47:34
  think
• 47:34
  you
• 47:35
  got
• 47:35
  to
• 47:35
  give
• 47:35
  them
• 47:35
  a
• 47:35
  shot.
• 47:36
  You
• 47:37
  got
• 47:37
  to
• 47:37
  give
• 47:37
  them
• 47:37
  a
• 47:37
  shot
• 47:39
  and
• 47:39
  we'll
• 47:39
  see
• 47:39
  what
• 47:39
  happens.
• 47:40
  You
• 47:40
  know,
• 47:40
  points
• 47:40
  per
• 47:40
  game.
• 47:41
  I
• 47:41
  don't
• 47:41
  know
• 47:41
  what
• 47:41
  it's
• 47:41
  going
• 47:41
  to
• 47:41
  be,
• 47:42
  not
• 47:42
  going
• 47:42
  to
• 47:42
  be
• 47:43
  winning
• 47:43
  every
• 47:43
  game
• 47:43
  by
• 47:43
  20
• 47:44
  points.
• 47:44
  But
• 47:45
  they're
• 47:45
  a
• 47:45
  darn
• 47:45
  good
• 47:46
  team
• 47:46
  and
• 47:46
  you
• 47:47
  got
• 47:47
  to
• 47:47
  give
• 47:47
  them
• 47:47
  some
• 47:47
  credit.
• 47:49
  516-623-1240
• 47:51
  if
• 47:51
  you
• 47:51
  want
• 47:52
  to
• 47:52
  call
• 47:52
  in
• 47:52
  going
• 47:52
  to
• 47:53
  switch
• 47:53
  gears,
• 47:53
  as
• 47:53
  I
• 47:54
  said
• 47:54
  to
• 47:54
  to
• 47:54
  the
• 47:54
  MLB
• 47:56
  at
• 47:56
  this
• 47:56
  point
• 47:57
  Major
• 47:57
  League
• 47:58
  Baseball
• 47:59
  has
• 47:59
  a
• 47:59
  lot
• 48:00
  of
• 48:00
  teams
• 48:00
  that
• 48:01
  are
• 48:01
  just
• 48:01
  subpar.
• 48:02
  Lot
• 48:03
  of
• 48:03
  teams
• 48:03
  subpar.
• 48:04
  Did
• 48:04
  we
• 48:05
  expect
• 48:05
  the
• 48:05
  Baltimore
• 48:06
  Orioles
• 48:06
  after
• 48:06
  making
• 48:07
  so
• 48:07
  many
• 48:08
  acquisitions,
• 48:08
  including
• 48:09
  Pete
• 48:09
  Alonso
• 48:10
  to
• 48:10
  be
• 48:10
  23:30
• 48:12
  the
• 48:12
  Boston
• 48:12
  Red
• 48:13
  Sox
• 48:13
  fired
• 48:14
  their

• 48:15
  22:30
• 48:17
  Detroit
• 48:18
  Tigers
• 48:18
  with
• 48:19
  Tarek
• 48:19
  Skubal
• 48:20
  21:33.
• 48:22
  He'll
• 48:22
  be
• 48:22
  on
• 48:22
  the
• 48:22
  the
• 48:23

• 48:23
  block
• 48:23
  soon.

  Kansas

  23
• 48:36
  and

  31

  Mariners
• 48:37
  are

  in

  the

• 48:38
  They're

  sub

  500.
• 48:40
  Miami
• 48:40
  Marlins
• 48:41
  tried
• 48:41
  to
• 48:42
  stick
• 48:42
  around
• 48:42
  for
• 48:42
  a
• 48:42
  little
• 48:43
  while.
• 48:44
  Pittsburgh
• 48:45
  Pirates
• 48:46
  are
• 48:46
  27
• 48:47
  and
• 48:47
  26.
• 48:48
  The
• 48:48
  entire
• 48:48
  NL
• 48:49
  Central
• 48:49
  is
• 48:49
  above.500,
• 48:50
  so
• 48:51
  if
• 48:51
  you're
• 48:51
  looking
• 48:51
  for
• 48:51
  games
• 48:51
  to
• 48:52
  win,
• 48:52
  it's
• 48:52
  not
• 48:53
  going
• 48:53
  to
• 48:53
  be
• 48:53
  playing
• 48:53
  them
• 48:54
  and
• 48:55
  the
• 48:55
  NL
• 48:55
  West.
• 48:56
  Obviously
• 48:56
  the
• 48:56
  Rockies
• 48:57
  are
• 48:57
  down,
• 48:57
  but
• 48:57
  we
• 48:57
  didn't
• 48:58
  expect
• 48:58
  the
• 48:58
  Giants
• 48:58
  to
• 48:59
  be
• 48:59
  as
• 48:59
  low
• 48:59
  as
• 49:00
  they
• 49:00
  Are.
• 49:01
  So
• 49:01
  where
• 49:02
  does
• 49:02
  that
• 49:02
  leave
• 49:02
  us?
• 49:03
  The
• 49:03
  New
• 49:03
  York
• 49:03
  Mets
• 49:04
  are
• 49:04
  22
• 49:05
  and
• 49:05
  31.
• 49:07
  22
• 49:08
  and
• 49:08
  31.
• 49:09
  We
• 49:09
  talked
• 49:09
  about
• 49:09
  this
• 49:10
  two
• 49:10
  weeks
• 49:10
  ago.
• 49:11
  They're
• 49:11
  bad.
• 49:12
  They're
• 49:13
  really,
• 49:13
  really
• 49:13
  bad.
• 49:14
  And
• 49:15
  they
• 49:15
  were
• 49:15
  a
• 49:16
  couple
• 49:16
  of
• 49:16
  maybe
• 49:16
  four
• 49:17
  weeks
• 49:17
  ago.

  day.
• 50:37
  And

  it's

  not

• 50:39
  Met

  fans

  are

  Something

  All

  same

  lineup

  out

  there,

  but
• 50:52
  somebody's
• 50:52
  got
• 50:52
  to
• 50:52
  do
• 50:52
  something

  and

  that

  There

  to
• 51:01
  lose
• 51:01
  their
• 51:01
  job.
• 51:01
  And
• 51:01
  David
• 51:02
  Stearns
• 51:02
  needs
• 51:03
  to
• 51:03
  step
• 51:03
  up
• 51:03
  and
• 51:03
  say
• 51:04
  something.
• 51:04
  Okay.
• 51:05
  He
• 51:05
  actually
• 51:06
  said
• 51:07
  that
• 51:07
  the
• 51:07
  manager
• 51:08
  wasn't
• 51:08
  going
• 51:08
  anywhere,
• 51:09
  but
• 51:09
  that
• 51:09
  was
• 51:10
  through
• 51:10
  one
• 51:11
  of
• 51:11
  the
• 51:11
  Mets
• 51:11
  beat
• 51:11
  reporters,
• 51:12
  Anthony
• 51:12
  Decomo.
• 51:14
  What
• 51:14
  needed
• 51:14
  to
• 51:14
  happen
• 51:15
  was
• 51:16
  he
• 51:16
  needed
• 51:16
  to
• 51:16
  say
• 51:16
  something
• 51:17
  to
• 51:17
  everyone.
• 51:18
  And
• 51:18
  the
• 51:18
  first
• 51:18
  time
• 51:18
  he
• 51:18
  got
• 51:19
  asked
• 51:19
  it
• 51:19
  by
• 51:19
  the
• 51:19
  media,
• 51:20
  which
• 51:20
  was
• 51:20
  two
• 51:21
  weeks
• 51:21
  later,
• 51:22
  he
• 51:22
  said,
• 51:23
  I'm
• 51:23
  not
• 51:23
  going
• 51:23
  to
• 51:23
  answer
• 51:23
  this
• 51:24
  every
• 51:24
  two
• 51:24
  weeks.
• 51:25
  Well,
• 51:25
  you
• 51:25
  need
• 51:25
  to
• 51:25
  step
• 51:25
  up
• 51:26
  and
• 51:26
  say
• 51:26
  whether
• 51:26
  or
• 51:26
  not
• 51:27
  this
• 51:27
  Manager
• 51:27
  is
• 51:27
  going
• 51:27
  to
• 51:28
  be
• 51:28
  there.
• 51:28
  You
• 51:29
  need
• 51:29
  to
• 51:29
  step
• 51:29
  up
• 51:30
  and
• 51:30
  say
• 51:30
  whether
• 51:30
  or
• 51:30
  not
• 51:31
  there's
• 51:31
  going
• 51:31
  to
• 51:31
  be
• 51:31
  changes
• 51:32
  in
• 51:32
  the
• 51:32
  front
• 51:32
  office
• 51:32
  or
• 51:33
  on
• 51:33
  the
• 51:33
  bench.
• 51:34
  And
• 51:35
  I
• 51:35
  think
• 51:35
  it's
• 51:35
  up
• 51:35
  to
• 51:35
  Steve
• 51:36
  Cohen
• 51:37
  at
• 51:37
  this
• 51:37
  point.
• 51:38
  Steve
• 51:38
  Cohen
• 51:38
  needs
• 51:39
  to
• 51:39
  step
• 51:39
  in.
• 51:40
  Realize
• 51:40
  this
• 51:40
  is
• 51:40
  not
• 51:41
  working.
• 51:42
  Put
• 51:42
  somebody
• 51:43
  below
• 51:43
  David
• 51:44
  Stearns
• 51:44
  in
• 51:44
  a
• 51:44
  position
• 51:45
  where
• 51:45
  they
• 51:45
  make
• 51:45
  some
• 51:46
  moves.
• 51:46
  The
• 51:46
  Mets
• 51:47
  don't
• 51:47
  even
• 51:47
  have
• 51:47
  a
• 51:47
  general
• 51:47
  manager
• 51:48
  right
• 51:48
  now.
• 51:49
  David
• 51:49
  Stearns
• 51:50
  is
• 51:50
  the
• 51:50
  president
• 51:50
  of
• 51:51
  baseball
• 51:51
  operations.
• 51:52
  Basically
• 51:53
  he
• 51:53
  is
• 51:53
  the
• 51:53
  end
• 51:54
  all
• 51:54
  and
• 51:54
  be
• 51:54
  all
• 51:54
  of
• 51:55
  what
• 51:55
  happens.
• 51:56
  Someone
• 51:57
  else
• 51:57
  needs
• 51:57
  to
• 51:58
  step
• 51:58
  in
• 51:58
  and
• 51:59
  change
• 51:59
  it
• 52:00
  because
• 52:00
  as
• 52:00
  you
• 52:00
  heard
• 52:00
  from
• 52:00
  Ed

  Tonight,

  it's
• 52:02
  been
• 52:02
  40
• 52:02
  years
• 52:04
  and
• 52:04
  nothing
• 52:04
  has
• 52:05
  changed.
• 52:05
  The
• 52:06
  way
• 52:06
  to
• 52:06
  change
• 52:06
  thing
• 52:06
  is
• 52:07
  to
• 52:07
  change
• 52:07
  the
• 52:07
  character.
• 52:08
  You
• 52:09
  need
• 52:09
  to
• 52:09
  change
• 52:09
  the
• 52:10
  clubhouse,
• 52:10
  you
• 52:11
  need
• 52:11
  to
• 52:11
  change
• 52:11
  what's
• 52:12
  out
• 52:12
  there.
• 52:13
  Who
• 52:13
  knows
• 52:14
  when
• 52:14
  Francisco
• 52:14
  Lindor
• 52:15
  is
• 52:15
  coming
• 52:15
  back.
• 52:16
  He's
• 52:16
  not
• 52:16
  going
• 52:16
  to
• 52:16
  be
• 52:16
  a
• 52:17
  savior.
• 52:18
  Who
• 52:19
  knows
• 52:19
  who's
• 52:19
  going
• 52:19
  to
• 52:19
  be
• 52:19

• 52:20
  a
• 52:20
  bullpen
• 52:20
  for
• 52:21
  the

  Mets.
• 52:21
  That's
• 52:22
  not
• 52:22
  going
• 52:22
  to
• 52:22
  save
• 52:22
  them.
• 52:23
  Right
• 52:24
  now
• 52:24
  the
• 52:24
  Mets
• 52:24
  can't
• 52:25
  put
• 52:25
  the
• 52:25
  ball
• 52:25
  in
• 52:25
  play.
• 52:26
  Their
• 52:26
  runs
• 52:27
  in
• 52:28
  games
• 52:28
  that
• 52:28
  are
• 52:29
  not
• 52:29
  blowouts
• 52:30
  are
• 52:30
  so
• 52:31
  low
• 52:31
  that
• 52:31
  you
• 52:32
  can't
• 52:32
  win
• 52:32
  a
• 52:33
  game
• 52:34
  by
• 52:35
  by
• 52:35
  giving
• 52:35
  up
• 52:35
  zero
• 52:36
  runs.
• 52:36
  They're
• 52:36
  going
• 52:36
  to
• 52:37
  lose,
• 52:37
  they're
• 52:38
  going
• 52:38
  to
• 52:38
  lose
• 52:38
  one,
• 52:38
  nothing.
• 52:39
  You
• 52:39
  saw
• 52:39
  it

  today,

• 52:42
  almost
• 52:42
  the
• 52:42
  entire
• 52:42
  game
• 52:43
  and
• 52:44
  they
• 52:44
  give
• 52:44
  up
• 52:44
  a
• 52:44
  walk
• 52:45
  off
• 52:45
  grand
• 52:45
  slam.
• 52:46
  At
• 52:46
  no
• 52:47
  point
• 52:47
  in
• 52:47
  that
• 52:47
  game
• 52:48
  did
• 52:48
  you
• 52:48
  have
• 52:48
  any
• 52:48
  confidence
• 52:49
  that
• 52:49
  that
• 52:50
  team
• 52:50
  was
• 52:50
  going
• 52:50
  to
• 52:50
  win.
• 52:51
  And
• 52:51
  it's
• 52:52
  really
• 52:52
  sad
• 52:52
  to
• 52:52
  see
• 52:53
  you're
• 52:53
  losing
• 52:54
  to
• 52:54
  a
• 52:54
  Marlins
• 52:54
  team
• 52:55
  that
• 52:55
  has
• 52:55
  absolutely
• 52:56
  dominated
• 52:56
  you.
• 52:57
  And
• 52:57
  now
• 52:57
  you
• 52:57
  have
• 52:58
  to
• 52:58
  come
• 52:58
  home,
• 52:58
  play
• 52:58
  the
• 52:58
  Reds,
• 52:59
  try
• 52:59
  and
• 52:59
  you
• 52:59
  know,
• 53:00
  get
• 53:00
  yourself
• 53:00
  back.
• 53:00
  The
• 53:01
  mets
• 53:01
  will
• 53:01
  not
• 53:01
  hit.500
• 53:02
  this
• 53:02
  year.
• 53:03
  It's
• 53:03
  just
• 53:03
  not
• 53:03
  going
• 53:03
  to
• 53:03
  happen.
• 53:04
  At
• 53:04
  22
• 53:04
  and
• 53:04
  31,
• 53:05
  you
• 53:05
  go
• 53:05
  out
• 53:06
  and
• 53:06
  maybe
• 53:06
  win
• 53:06
  five
• 53:06
  out
• 53:07
  of
• 53:07
  seven
• 53:07
  and
• 53:07
  next
• 53:08
  thing
• 53:08
  you
• 53:08
  know
• 53:08
  you
• 53:08
  go
• 53:09
  back
• 53:09
  to
• 53:09
  getting
• 53:09
  swept.
• 53:11
  It's
• 53:11
  no
• 53:11
  good.
• 53:13
  And
• 53:13
  that's
• 53:13
  why
• 53:13
  this
• 53:14
  town,
• 53:15
  whether
• 53:15
  you're
• 53:15
  a
• 53:16
  Yankee
• 53:16
  fan
• 53:16
  or
• 53:17
  a
• 53:17
  Met
• 53:17
  fan,
• 53:18
  you
• 53:18
  need
• 53:18
  to
• 53:18
  put
• 53:18
  all
• 53:19
  your
• 53:19
  chips
• 53:19
  in
• 53:19
  the
• 53:19
  middle
• 53:21
  and
• 53:21
  you
• 53:21
  need
• 53:21
  to
• 53:22
  go
• 53:22
  out
• 53:22
  there
• 53:22
  and
• 53:23
  support
• 53:23
  the
• 53:23
  New
• 53:23
  York
• 53:23
  Knicks.
• 53:24
  Now
• 53:25
  if
• 53:25
  you
• 53:25
  like
• 53:25
  the
• 53:25
  Brooklyn
• 53:25
  Nets,
• 53:26
  that's
• 53:26
  fine.
• 53:26
  But
• 53:27
  no
• 53:27
  matter
• 53:27
  who
• 53:27
  the
• 53:28
  Knicks
• 53:28
  wind
• 53:28
  up
• 53:29
  going
• 53:29
  up
• 53:29
  against

  the

  put
• 53:33
  your
• 53:33
  support
• 53:33
  in
• 53:33
  them.
• 53:34
  Now
• 53:35
  I'm
• 53:35
  not
• 53:35
  saying
• 53:35
  go
• 53:36
  out
• 53:36
  there,
• 53:37
  spend
• 53:37
  $140,000
• 53:39
  like
• 53:39
  somebody
• 53:39
  did
• 53:39
  today
• 53:40
  on
• 53:41
  courtside
• 53:41
  seats.
• 53:41
  The
• 53:42
  game
• 53:42
  one
• 53:42
  of
• 53:42
  of
• 53:42
  the
• 53:43
  Knicks
• 53:43
  hosting
• 53:44
  a
• 53:44
  game,
• 53:45
  not
• 53:45
  looking
• 53:45
  for
• 53:45
  that.
• 53:46
  But
• 53:47
  you
• 53:47
  got
• 53:47
  to
• 53:47
  put
• 53:47
  yourself
• 53:47
  in
• 53:48
  front
• 53:48
  of

  the

  you

  got
• 53:49
  to
• 53:49
  support
• 53:49
  this
• 53:50
  team
• 53:51
  because
• 53:51
  this
• 53:52
  could
• 53:52
  be
• 53:52
  the
• 53:52
  one
• 53:53
  chance
• 53:53
  you
• 53:53
  get
• 53:54
  you.
• 53:54
  Nothing
• 53:54
  is
• 53:55
  guaranteed
• 53:55
  after
• 53:55
  this.
• 53:56
  The
• 53:56
  Knicks
• 53:56
  give
• 53:56
  up
• 53:57
  five
• 53:57
  number
• 53:57
  one
• 53:57
  draft

• 53:58
  to

  Mikhail

  Bridges.
• 54:00
  He's
• 54:01
  finding
• 54:01
  a
• 54:01
  way
• 54:01
  to
• 54:01
  come
• 54:01
  through.
• 54:03
  The
• 54:03
  Knicks
• 54:03
  went
• 54:03
  out
• 54:04
  and
• 54:04
  fired
• 54:05
  their
• 54:05
  coach
• 54:05
  even
• 54:06
  though
• 54:06
  they
• 54:06
  had
• 54:06
  made
• 54:06
  it
• 54:06
  to
• 54:07
  the
• 54:07
  Eastern
• 54:07
  Conference
• 54:07
  finals
• 54:09
  and
• 54:10
  brought
• 54:10
  in
• 54:10
  Mike
• 54:10
  Brown.
• 54:11
  Mike
• 54:11
  Brown
• 54:12
  is
• 54:12
  pushing
• 54:12
  the
• 54:12
  right
• 54:12
  buttons.
• 54:13
  Mike
• 54:14
  Brown
• 54:14
  is
• 54:14
  finding
• 54:15
  a
• 54:15
  way
• 54:15
  to
• 54:15
  use
• 54:15
  his
• 54:15
  assistant
• 54:16
  coaches
• 54:17
  to
• 54:17
  make
• 54:17
  sure
• 54:18
  that
• 54:18
  his
• 54:18
  bench
• 54:19
  is
• 54:19
  ready
• 54:19
  to
• 54:20
  play.
• 54:21
  The
• 54:21
  New
• 54:21
  York
• 54:21
  Knicks
• 54:22
  are
• 54:22
  for
• 54:22
  real.
• 54:23
  And
• 54:24
  you
• 54:24
  got
• 54:24
  to
• 54:24
  find
• 54:24
  a
• 54:24
  way
• 54:25
  to
• 54:25
  support
• 54:25
  this
• 54:25
  team.
• 54:26
  They
• 54:27
  can
• 54:27
  do
• 54:27
  it.
• 54:28
  And
• 54:29
  that's
• 54:29
  going
• 54:29
  to
• 54:29
  be
• 54:29
  the
• 54:29
  talk
• 54:29
  of
• 54:30
  the
• 54:30
  town.
• 54:31
  The
• 54:31
  New
• 54:31
  York
• 54:31
  Knicks,
• 54:32
  as
• 54:33
  I
• 54:33
  mentioned
• 54:33
  before,
• 54:33
  were
• 54:34
  having
• 54:35
  watch
• 54:35
  parties
• 54:35
  inside
• 54:36
  and
• 54:36
  then
• 54:36
  during
• 54:37
  the
• 54:37
  home
• 54:37
  games
• 54:37
  they
• 54:37
  were
• 54:38
  having
• 54:38
  watch
• 54:38
  parties
• 54:38
  outside.
• 54:39
  The
• 54:39
  NYPD
• 54:41
  doesn't
• 54:41
  want
• 54:41
  them
• 54:41
  to
• 54:41
  have
• 54:42
  it
• 54:42
  because
• 54:42
  it's
• 54:42
  getting
• 54:42
  out
• 54:43
  of
• 54:43
  control.
• 54:45
  If
• 54:45
  the
• 54:45
  New
• 54:45
  York
• 54:45
  Knicks
• 54:46
  start,
• 54:47
  let's
• 54:47
  say
• 54:48
  two
• 54:48
  weeks
• 54:48
  from
• 54:48
  now,
• 54:48
  start
• 54:49
  the
• 54:49
  NBA
• 54:49
  Finals,
• 54:51
  it's
• 54:51
  going
• 54:51
  to
• 54:51
  be
• 54:51
  the
• 54:52
  month
• 54:52
  of
• 54:52
  the
• 54:52
  Knicks
• 54:52
  in
• 54:52
  the
• 54:53
  month
• 54:53
  of
• 54:53
  June.
• 54:54
  People
• 54:54
  are
• 54:54
  going
• 54:55
  to
• 54:55
  be
• 54:55
  all
• 54:55
  over
• 54:55
  that
• 54:56
  and
• 54:56
  I
• 54:56
  think
• 54:56
  it's
• 54:56
  great.
• 54:57
  The
• 54:57
  stats
• 54:58
  that
• 54:58
  they
• 54:58
  have
• 54:59
  put
• 54:59
  out
• 55:00
  there
• 55:00
  are
• 55:00
  just
• 55:01
  enormous.
• 55:01
  I
• 55:02
  can't
• 55:02
  believe
• 55:02
  some
• 55:02
  of
• 55:03
  the
• 55:03
  things
• 55:03
  that
• 55:03
  they
• 55:03
  have
• 55:03
  done
• 55:04
  as
• 55:04
  far
• 55:04
  as
• 55:04
  shooting
• 55:05
  the
• 55:05
  ball.
• 55:08
  And
• 55:08
  playoff
• 55:08
  basketball
• 55:10
  here
• 55:10
  in
• 55:10
  New
• 55:10
  York
• 55:11
  is
• 55:11
  becoming
• 55:11
  unbelievable.
• 55:12
  121
• 55:13
  to
• 55:13
  108.
• 55:14
  Knicks
• 55:14
  lead
• 55:14
  the
• 55:14
  series
• 55:15
  3
• 55:16
  0.
• 55:16
  That
• 55:17
  game,
• 55:18
  to
• 55:18
  be
• 55:18
  honest
• 55:18
  with
• 55:18
  you,
• 55:19
  wasn't
• 55:19
  really
• 55:19
  that
• 55:19
  close.
• 55:20
  After
• 55:20
  the
• 55:20
  second
• 55:20
  quarter
• 55:21
  you
• 55:21
  thought
• 55:21
  maybe
• 55:21
  the
• 55:22
  other
• 55:22
  team
• 55:23
  would
• 55:23
  make
• 55:24
  a
• 55:24
  run.
• 55:24
  No.
• 55:27
  Kenny
• 55:28
  Atkinson,
• 55:28
  coach
• 55:29
  of
• 55:29
  the
• 55:29
  Cleveland
• 55:29
  Cavaliers,
• 55:30
  lost
• 55:30
  Right
• 55:31
  now.
• 55:32
  No.
• 55:32
  No
• 55:32
  clue
• 55:33
  as
• 55:33
  to
• 55:33
  how
• 55:33
  to
• 55:33
  beat
• 55:33
  the
• 55:33
  Knicks.
• 55:34
  Okay.
• 55:35
  Analytically
• 55:36
  he
• 55:36
  thinks
• 55:36
  they've
• 55:36
  won
• 55:37
  two
• 55:37
  out
• 55:37
  of
• 55:37
  three
• 55:38
  on
• 55:38
  paper,
• 55:39
  03.
• 55:41
  Okay,
• 55:42
  let's
• 55:43
  go
• 55:43
  through
• 55:43
  this.
• 55:43
  Who
• 55:43
  won
• 55:44
  the
• 55:44
  NBA
• 55:44
  cup
• 55:44
  this
• 55:45
  year?
• 55:45
  The
• 55:45
  Knicks.
• 55:45
  They
• 55:46
  didn't
• 55:46
  want
• 55:46
  to
• 55:46
  put
• 55:46
  a
• 55:46
  banner
• 55:47
  up,
• 55:47
  but
• 55:47
  they
• 55:47
  have
• 55:48
  beaten
• 55:48
  the
• 55:49
  San
• 55:49
  Antonio
• 55:49
  Spurs.
• 55:50
  They
• 55:50
  beat
• 55:50
  him
• 55:50
  in
• 55:50
  the
• 55:50
  NBA
• 55:50
  Cup.
• 55:51
  Okay.
• 55:52
  This
• 55:52
  is
• 55:52
  a
• 55:52
  team
• 55:53
  that
• 55:54
  can
• 55:54
  do
• 55:54
  a
• 55:54
  lot
• 55:54
  with
• 55:54
  og,
• 55:56
  with
• 55:56
  Mikhail
• 55:56
  Bridges,
• 55:57
  with
• 55:57
  Jalen
• 55:58
  Brunson,
• 55:58
  with
• 55:59
  Karl
• 55:59
  Anthony
• 55:59
  Towns,
• 56:00
  with
• 56:00
  Josh
• 56:01
  Hart
• 56:02
  and
• 56:02
  with
• 56:03
  a
• 56:03
  bench.
• 56:04
  And
• 56:05
  let
• 56:05
  me
• 56:05
  say
• 56:05
  this
• 56:05
  again,.
• 56:07
  There.
• 56:08
  Really
• 56:08
  is
• 56:09
  a
• 56:10
  lot
• 56:10
  behind
• 56:11
  the
• 56:11
  fact
• 56:12
  that
• 56:12
  three
• 56:12
  of
• 56:13
  these
• 56:13
  players
• 56:13
  played
• 56:14
  together
• 56:14
