  Speaker 1: So what what a night and come in here we
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: break down these playoff games. And I'm not gonna sit
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: here and tell you anything different. The other night, after
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the Oklahoma City Minnesota game, I was like, man, I mean,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I get paid to watch this crap.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: It's just terrible. It was just god awful in the West.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: And then you have Game one in the East, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: we're gonna start.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: With that world's most famous arena, all those celebrity a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: holes sitting in the front row, Midtown Manhattan, right there
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: above Penn Station, the Mecca, the big stage. Like Game
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: one Eastern Conference files, you had Tyreese, Saliburton and the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Pacers taking on Jalen Brunson.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And the Knicks.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And that was the setup, right, that was the setup here.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I measure there was some disagreement in terms of the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: gambling side of things, and that the wise guys were
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: on the knicks and the public loved the Indiana Pacers. Now,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I just want to clarify before we get into the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: meat of the monologue. We will address later on. We've
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: got a full night of overnight talk. We will address
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the untimely death.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Of Jim Ersay, the Colts owner.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that later on Ursy's The announcement came
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: down on Wednesday that Jim Mersey had died. More on
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that later, but we're gonna start with the basketball. And
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: if you didn't see the game, you know, normally we
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: say it's our good good Mitch for the day, it's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: our good active kindness year. We did this for you,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and that's kind of the catchphrase of the show watching
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: these basketball games. However, on this night, it's different than
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: all other nights because this game was a doozy. It
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was a doozy. Tyrese Saliburton. He tied the game, he
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: thought he won the game. He had a long jumper
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that bounced and it looked like it hit the rafters
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden right off the back of the rim.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: As time expired at regulation at the end of regulation.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This is like every cheeseball Hollywood movie where the ball
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: bounced it. The only difference is that's the game winning shot.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: This was not the game winning shot, but the ball
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: bounced up in the air and everyone's when the surrender cobra.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: In the crowd at that moment.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And then they did it again after the game, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: so the Pacers had to go to overtime, and then
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: they finished it off.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: They did the kill shot in overtime.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: A stunning, mind blowing, unreal comeback and down goal the Knicks.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Down goal the Knicks.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: At least for one game one eight one to thirty
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: five year final and how unlikely. The New York Knicks
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: had a seventeen point lead midway through the fourth quarter.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They had a fourteen point lead with under three minutes
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: remaining in regulation. This just does not happen. And all
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the broadcasters like to get on, oh, well, you never know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: this could be the day comeback happens, and ninety nine
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: point nine percent of the time it's bull crap. This
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was the point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: one percent where it was not bull crap. And while
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Halliburton's getting the headlines here, Aaron Nesmith brought the Pacers
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: back as it was. Forget the Splash Brothers. This guy
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: was better than the Splash Brothers back in the old
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: days with Golden State at the end there for Indiana Halliburton.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: After he made his shot, he thought he had won
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the game there and then the moment there he was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: going crazy. He did the old Reggie Miller choke signal
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that Reggie Miller did in another life many many years
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: ago in the nineties for Spike Lee back in the day.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So Indiana has taken home court advantage and Game two
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: is Friday night, Friday.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Night, Game two of this series.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Now, the better story continues to be in the losing
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: locker room. And how do you explain that? How does
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: one explain that performance blowing his seventeen point lead midway
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: through the fourth quarter, fourteen point lead three minutes ago
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: in the game, crap that sucked. Let's hear from Tom Tibodeau,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the head.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Coach of the New York Knickerbockers.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Here's Coach Tibbs and he's talking about how the the
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: end of the game. Let's go to a cut to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: on this the end of the game, and you'll hear
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the question of the answer.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And some things got really wonky for the Knicks and
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: the Pacers. Take a listen.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Does you feel like guys got a little too loose
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: in the final minutes offensively in a little sloppy with
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: the ball? Yeah, you know, the turnovers were costly, you
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: know so, and then they converted them into easy buckets,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: you know, so that sort of fueled their offense. That's
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: what got them going again. You know, they started off
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: the game, you know, in a good rhythm, and then
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: you know, we did it much better as the half
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: went on, and then you know, down to stretch, we
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: didn't do what we needed to do.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: So code for we are choking dogs.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That's what he meant to say, but instead he gave
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you some thirty second SoundBite there.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: How about Jalen Brunson. Here's a Jalen Brunson as he
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: didn't get it done?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: You here the question and the answer is Brunson on
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: what happened there at the.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: End, And how do you summarize You guys had a
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: fourteen point lead with two fifty one left to go.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: How do you summarize how the game closed?
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: You can't really summarize it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Give them a lot of credit.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: They close the game out like they've been doing all playoffs.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It's not really good on our partment. I can sum
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: it up.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Chicken crap. It was chicken crap as it was. It
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: was so bad. God was that terrible. And it was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: great to watch the pa Listen. I have no skin
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in the game. I don't, but man, the Pacers are
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: fun to watch, all right. So the question shout, we
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: examine the question here. Let's break it down here because
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: we have the power the bully pulpit here in sports radio.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So who gets the dirty water street dog, a blame
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: for Jalen Brunson's Nicks, and an epic all time choke job,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: all time choke job. So I've got burger king and goldfish,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: we are going to make a nice soft pretzel which
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: would have put up more of a resistance than the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks defensively. If you just put a soft
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: pretzel with that salt on there that's been sitting out
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: rotating in the sun all day, that would have provided
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: more of a resistance than the New York Knicks defense
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: at the end of the game.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: But we have to start with the head of the serpent.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: We liked the player, but that was a absolute dog
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: crap performance by him. The basketball God giveth the basketball God,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: taketh away. Jalen Brunson, the most clutch player in the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: NBA this season. He's got to wear this right there
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: on the chin, right there. And this is a public
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: service announcement that past results do not guarantee future success.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: All that matters is what you do in the moment.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: How do you handle the immense pressure of that moment.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And on this night, unlike most other nights, Jalen Brunson,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: he was in the cockpit and he was flying the
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: vomit comet. And this wasn't just a vomit commet. This
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: was a comic Kazi mission by the Knicks. Brunson was
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in the frying pan, but he was a block of mozzarella,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: which turned out to be you know, put cheese in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a frying pan. It's a guy mozzarella melting beautifully. At
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the end of that game, how bad was it?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Now? The Knicks were up. I mentioned seventeen. I jotted
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: it down.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: They were up by seventeen, was six twenty six to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the going game halfway through.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of time.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: They had a fourteen point ly, as we mentioned, with
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: under three minutes to go in the game. But I'm
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: gonna start this from the six to twenty six mark.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: From that point up seventeen, you just make a few plays,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: you win the game.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: New York was outscored.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: By twenty points, including overtime twenty points. Jalen Brunson had.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: He did have twelve points. How whoever, he is the playmaker.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Now he's the playmaker.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: He did not facilitate the offense. He became a hog,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: a ball hog, and pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I heard that somewhere along the way, stumbling and bumbling
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: brunts in the final minutes.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Here as the final about ten minutes.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: Of the game.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: He had no assist he had no steals. He had
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: three turnovers and a bunch of shots. And the Knicks
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: got bupkis. And there's an actual at the deli. There
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: there's a thing we can take the numbers and also
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: taking a number and getting in line are og and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Anobi and Josh Hart who were contaminated with cooties. At
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the end of the game, they combined to shoot sixteen
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: percent at the end of the game. And as we mentioned,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Tom Thibodeau, who has to wear the shame bell, the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Knicks coach there were failing to adjust defensively. In listen,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I never coached in the NBA. I just do an
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: overnight talk show. But even I knew what Indiana was doing,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm pretty sure the Knicks knew what was going
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: on they didn't stop it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Is that because they couldn't stop it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: But the Pacers repeatedly sliding underscreens, and that allowed the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Pacer players to get three point opportunities and many of
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: them were wide open, no resistance, and so Timms should
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: have gone. Dennis Green, a former Fox Sports radio personality
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Dennis Green and said, now, if you want to crown them,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: then crown their asses. But they are who we thought
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they were, and we let them off the hook. New
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: York was outscored twenty seven to four on points off turnovers.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You talk about giving a game away, that is the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: textbook example of giving a game away.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: It's wonderful, all right now, page two.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So Indiana wins it, and that's the secondary story. The
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Knicks blowing it is the biggest story. I think we
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: can all agree on that you know anything about sports,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But what is the word for Aaron Nismith's performance in
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: eating the Indiana Facers back at Madison Square. Guard Now
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: he got to assist because the knicks just completely fell apart.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: They became unraveled at the end there.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: But on the other side, aaron Ne Smith a bunch
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: of big shots there down the stretch.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: So what is the word?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: So my word is, actually it's a fast food situation.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It's burger king two words, because that is a That
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: performance was a whopper. That was an absolutely I mean,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you've got nsb real here. Aaron Ne Smith is a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: rather faceless, nameless.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Player in the NBA, right, You know, the hard old.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: People know who he is, but the casual people don't
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: know who this guy is. You talk about making a
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: name for yourself. He was shaken and bacon out there
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: late in the game. He had twenty points over the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: final ten minutes, but six of six to close the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: game on three point shots. He looked like me Moneyball
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Malleer out there knocking down three point shots and man,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: he absolutely deep fried the New York basketball team and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: it was so great. All those celebrities during the surrender
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: cobra position with their hands above, you know, putting their
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: their elbows extended and their the back of their their head,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the hands on the back of their head was great.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Now, the the.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Only moment that most will likely remember is Tyree Saliburton
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and his basket. But it is fair to say the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the real dagger, the dagger.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Most of them were.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: From Niemen, right, most of them were. Now Halliburton's basket
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: was majestic. It was beautiful, and it was it was great.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: And so this also, much to the dismay of men,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he proves that lightning. You know, they say lightning never
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: strikes in the same place twice, which is a myth.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And well, it wasn't a game winning shot, Tyre Saliburton.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: He didn't win the game, but his basket there, his
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: basket was the signature highlight.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Of this particular game.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It was really was Reggie Miller esque, except the toe
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: was on the line. And it's fair to say he
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: used all his artillery with the choke sign which didn't
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: make the New York Post. To believe the somebody sent
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: me a copy of that the back page. I think
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it's actually the front page of the New York Post.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: People still read those newspapers in New York. Not many
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: other places, but they still read the newspaper.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: In New York. And sure enough, Halliburton right there.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I think I said choke two point zero or something
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like that on the back page. Now the last word here,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: all right, the last word. So let's take a couple
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: steps back. We're one game in. Isn't that an elimination situation?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: The Knicks had a big lead, they blew the lead.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: The Knicks actually got the lead with Jalen Brunson not
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: even out there.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: So any advice to Jalen.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns and Tom Thibodeau and.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: The Knicks going forward.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So before I give you my advice, I want to
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: play cut one here. So here is let's go back
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to Tom Thibodeaux. Here's what Tom Thibodeau had to say about,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: you know, just in general, the mindset of the Knicks
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: going back for game two. Take a listen, coach, what
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: do you do going into game to Friday to bounce
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: back from this?
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: What do you tell your guys to put this behind them? Yeah,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: the same thing.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: You know, like there's a lot of emotional highs and
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: lows in the playoffs. You got to bounce back quickly.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: You look at the film, make your corrections, get ready
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: for game two. And that's you know, when you go
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: into the playoffs, you lay out the plan or how
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: you're going to approach the entire playoffs.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: So that was a cookie cutter response by Tom Thibodeau.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: And what I would do. I would get up in
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: front of the team. They would all they would all
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: ignore me. Who are you? Why are you here? You're
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: you're a loser.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: But I would tell the team, I said, listen, the
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: only Uncle Mo is in Brooklyn.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: But on the court, there's no Uncle Mo.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: There's no Mo, there's no momentum, and there is no
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: carryover to these things.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: And so you have to you do have to be
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: the goldfish in You have to forget everything.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: And I would also advise going to a drug store
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and buying some mouthwash because that entire Nick team down
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the stretch at halatosis, holy crap.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Now for Indiana, you keep doing you. I get the Pacers.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: They've got that Jenna si Quah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: If you will here, there's something about I don't have
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: any team in the playoffs. I like watching the Pacers
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: play I'm Benny Brightside on the Pacers.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I enjoy.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: They don't play much defense, but they keep coming at
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you in waves convoys on offense, and it really is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: poetry in motion. It's tantalizing offensive basketball. And they shoot
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of three point shots, but not to the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: level of teams like the Celtics and some others that
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: were eliminated.
• 16:45

• 18:12
  Speaker 1: We'll get back to the basketball as we had a
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: dramatic ending the Indiana Pacers deliver the Deger to the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Pacers or to the next rather the Pacers to the next.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It was magical, absolutely. But our lead this hour is
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: from the NFL. Some some sad news to share. I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: assume you've heard this by now, but maybe not. Jim Ersay,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: very public figure, outspoken Jim Ersay, someone that we've talked
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: about a lot over the years. The longtime owner of
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts is dead. The team announced that on Wednesday.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: He was sixty five, and Ersay died, they said the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: team peacefully in his sleep.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: They claimed.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: In the afternoon on Wednesday, the team issued a very
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: worthy statement, a prepared message. There a lengthy prepared message
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: on the social media that highlighted his love of the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: game and all that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Of course, we don't know.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: It's not really Ursay is gone, so it doesn't matter
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: how he died. There's obviously a lot of chatter on
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: social media about what actually happened. But Ersay was named
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the owner of the Colts after his father died. He
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: inherited the team, and that was way back in nineteen
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: ninety seven. At the time, he's one of the youngest
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: owners in the NFL and the history of the league
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: at that time. Hey, here's the Colts you congratulations.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Now. Ersay was not not.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Supposedly in poor health recently, which has led to more
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Internet speculation. In fact, he posted on social media early
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: in the day on Wednesday. His last post was good
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: wishes to in the Anni Pacers. That turned out to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: be the last one before his untimely death. Again, no
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: cause of death was announced. A lot of Internet investigators
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: believe they have the answer. Certainly if you followed Ersay,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you know there's some some skeletons there. Unfortunately, but Ersay
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: very vocal about that, and he'd been open about the
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: fact he's had issues with alcohol and prescription drugs, and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: he's been in and out or rehab. So many people
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: are the success rate of rehab is not not particularly great,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: but he's had a couple of near fatal overdoses of
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: people trying to say, well, this is what happened, but
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: until they announce it, it's it's all just just chatter.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: But let's get to the the point of this as
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: we discuss and the question when when someone who is
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a public.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Figure, who we have talked about is out there in
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: the in the spotlight.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So, how are you going to remember the life and
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: times of jim Irsay as.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: The owner of the Colts?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Knowing that we're not Colt fans, most of us, but
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: what are you going to remember and how are you
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: going to remember jim Irsay?
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: So I have high school musical, toy story.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: And young Blood and will combine all these things together
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and give a melancholy goodbye to jim Irsay through the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: proper eulogy. But the first thought I have number one,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: being behind these microphones, it's hard to believe that I've
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: been doing my job as long as Ersa has been
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the owner of the actual head owner of the Colts.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It's been a while, and jim Irsay has been one
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of the characters in sport for better or worse, jim
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Irsay is a character. Can we all agree on that?
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Can everyone agree on that? He's whimsical, he's playful, he's
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: got an edge to him. Is someone that some people
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: out there the thing he's you know, the worst of
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the worst.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: But one thing that Ersay did and through his life,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: which is now over, is he followed the mantra don't
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: be boring.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: He was not born.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: He also embraced a rather unique set of pillars if
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you will, kind of like Greek philosophy, I expect the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: unexpected with with jim Irsay, and.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: He kept showing your toes.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Now, my favorite memory, since we're talking about what are
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: you going to remember about jim Irsay, My favorite memory
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: of jim Irsay is just a couple of years ago
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and I still can't believe he did.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: It's it's a high school musical, if you will.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Jim Irsay fired Remember this, this was in twenty twenty three.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: He fired Frank Wright.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: The Colts were three, five and one at the time,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: so they were under five hundred. That's not the worst
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: records average. So Ersay he got to bug up his
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: took us he fires Frank Right and then hired the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: guy from TV. He hired Jeff Saturday, who had played
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: for the Colts, but he was a television analyst at
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: ESPN as the interim head coach, and so this gave
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: all radio gas bags and television blowhards hope. Saturday had
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: no coaching experience unless you consider like the high school
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: level at some Christian academy in Georgia to be on
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the level with the NFL. So he had not been
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a professional coach at any level. And I remember still
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: doing monologues about that and what is Ursay doing here?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: And everyone and their mother was ripping Jim Rsay. I
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: remember Bill Cower, he was cowering.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: He was so upset Bill Cower, and he's like, it's.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: A disgrace to the coaching profession. Ever was up at
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: arm should the NFL forced Ersay to sell the Colts.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: He's lost his marbles and Jim Irsay doubled down. He
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: doubled I'm glad. He was glad that Jeff Saturday did
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: not have experience coaching in the NFL because he hadn't
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: learned the fear that so many coaches have in the league.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a great line. I thought that
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: was a wonderful line by Jimmersy. Jimmersay was so burned
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: out on these coaches. He's like, I want somebody that
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't have the experience. Now, if you remember, Indianapolis won
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: their first game with the high school coach Jeff Saturday,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I believe they beat the Raiders, great moments in Raiders history.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: And then Jim Mersey's football team, I think they lost
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: every game.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: The one game that stands out from that period was
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: where they played the Vikings.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: It was a Saturday game.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: They were up thirty three nothing with Jeff Saturday as
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the coach the Colts, and they lost the game in overtime.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: They do a thirty three nothing le biggest blown lead
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: of all time. But this is not about that.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: This is about Jim Irsay and so again my top
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: memory is he hired a high school coach to coach
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: his football team, and he said he was glad that
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the coach had no experience.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I thought that was great now.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Page two, So can you sum up the rather quirky
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: side of Jim Mercy If hiring a high school coach
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: is not quirky enough, So for me, the Jim Mersey thing.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I guess you can describe it as toy story like ers.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: He was like just a kid that had a lot
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of money and he inherited it. He was born on
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: third base, you know, a silver spoon kid and all that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: He won the genetic lottery. His father made the money
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: for the family. He inherited it and he enjoyed himself.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: He was in a band, the Jim Mersey Band. He
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: would celebrate Colts wins by playing with the band there
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: and he just lived the aristocrat lifestyle. He had a
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: passion for collecting random memorabilia. He loved music in particularly
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: In fact, the legendary story we use this as a
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a mala riddle.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: We used it for something on the show.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: But he purchased elf In John's piano at auction, paid
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: almost a million dollars to buy a piano from Elton
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: john And he had his own personal rich guy museum.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: As Jim Mersey leaves this mortal coil, I was actually
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: reading about this. He's got over five hundred items including
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we mentioned that the Elton Johnny's got some some other
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: classic guitars from famous musicians that have gone by, your
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: years gone by. He's got the championship belt from Muhammad Ali.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: He's got that, and on and on. So he decided
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago he was not gonna sell.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, there was some some Middle Eastern oil baron
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that offered Jim Mersey.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: A billion dollars over a billion.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Dollars to buy his memorabilia, and Ursa's like, I'm good,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. And then the other quirky
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: thing about ersaying this, this story used to pop up
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: just about every training camp when the Colts would go
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: to camp. And we're talking about Jim Mersey, who has
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: died in some of our memories of Jim Mersay, but
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Jim Irsay also had a Santa Clause like quality to
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: him that he he was known for handing out wads of.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: One bills at training camp. You just walking around here.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I'm rich, you know. Here, I'm throwing money at you peasants.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Here's some some money.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And he'd have these weird trivia contests on social media
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: and and then he would give the winner like he'd
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: buy buy their tickets to games and all expenses paid
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: trips to games. I mean, and this is like he'd
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: do this on the regular So all right, now, final point,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: so now that we've discussed all that, there is the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: fact that life goes on to address and that the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Colts will be playing football coming up in a few
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: months and they will not.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Have Jim Mercy as the owner.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: So where does Jim Mersey's death leave the Colts franchise
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: going forward?
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: And the answer to that is young blood.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: This is all through a state planning, through that kind
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: of business. Colin Coward's doing a commercial right now for
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But someone named Carly Ersay Gordon.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I have no idea that it, but she is projected
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: to be the day to day operator of the Colts
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: football ops in the wake of the death of her father.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: She's forty four years old and she's going to actually
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: share the Colts with her sisters.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: So the three ladies will all share the team.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: What could possibly go wrong? That'll be a smooth operation.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Absolutely that there'll be no fighting at all. So anyway,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: she and her sisters will be the become the youngest
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: owners in the NFL by more than a decade. They've
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: got youth on their side. Youth be served here. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: keep in mind that even though Ersa had the estate planning,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: there's still going to be lawyers that are going to
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: be snooping around and making sure everything's okay, and they're
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: going to go through all the documents and all that
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: make sure it's all kosher. The t's were crossed, the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: eyes were dotted, the DOCU signs were legit. And if
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, as I kind of peruse the NFL,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I believe this woman, Carly Ersa Gordon, will become at
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: least the fourth woman to take over an NFL team
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: because of inheritance, right, because I know the Lions. I
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: believe that Lions, Titans, the Seahawks, and the Bengals are
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: being run. But the owner hasn't passed away. But the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Bengals are also being run, so I guess it's five.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: The Seahawks are going to be sold. Allen died and
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: his sister has been running the team. So anyway, Jim
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: orsay our thoughts on him.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. This
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: is one big Ben gets grilled.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: Google.
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: Back in February, Joe Burrow said that he would revise
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: his contract to get both Jamar Chase and t Higgins
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: signed to extensions. Soon after, the Bengals did exactly that. Well,
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: now Burrow was getting on his soapbox and advocating for
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: Trey Hendrickson.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: Ben, do you think Burke can make it happen?
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, if he gives back more money. Right.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I think he knows by now that the Bengals are
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: a franchise owned. The owner's nickname is El Chipo, So yeah,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: they're not. They've they've already decided if they were gonna
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: pay the player, they wouldn't already paid him, right, They've
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: decided they don't want to pay Trey Hendrickson. They're not
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: gonna pay him, and it's just a matter of when
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: he's going to eat. Either show up or if he
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't show up, they're gonna trade him.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: I don't see.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I don't see a scenario where he gets paid, so
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter next.
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: Derrick Henry has shown no signs of slowing down, rushing
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: for nearly two thousand yards last season at age thirty.
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: He enters this season nineteenth on the all time career
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: rushing list, Ben, how far up the list do you
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: think he can go.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Well, he's nineteenth right now, you figure he's got at
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: least a year or two where he's still.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Really really good.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: So and I thought he was doing last year to
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: be you know, total full disclosure.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: What are the Ravens doing here? Because he showed signs
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: of decline in Tennessee.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I say he can based on the math on this,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: he can finish in the around the top ten, right
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: if he has two more big years and then he
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: keeps playing a couple more years after that next.
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: Lebron James made a recent podcast appearance where he offered
• 31:53
  Speaker 7: some criticism of the Celtics, saying that he thinks they
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: got bored and complacent on the court.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: Ben, is this a fair analysis?
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: No to dumb analysis the Celtics, they didn't get complacent.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: It was a flaw in the system. They were a
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: one trick operation. Is it was a dog and pony show.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: All they did was shoot three point shots. They made
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: twenty five out of one hundred and three point shots
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: over three games.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: That's why they lost. That's all they could do. It sucks,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: all right, how did we do? Coop?
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: You pass this edition?
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: That is a wait? Put it on the want at
