• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Back at it here and our lead this hour from
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: New York and over the weekend, Giants quarterback Jackson Dart
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: did something that many people would be honored to do,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and in this political climate, you do it, and all
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of a sudden.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I can't believe you. Do you know
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: where we're going with this? Maybe not, perhaps not so.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart, that is the second year quarterback for the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: New York Football Giants, introduced the President of the United States,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump at a weekend rally.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: This was on Friday, over the weekend in New York,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and this.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Of course created a hullabaloo among the Wokesters. They lost
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: their mind. Oh my god, Dart said, what an honor,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what a privilege it is to be here, and he
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: was on stages without further ado. I am grateful, I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: am honored, I am pleasured to introduce the forty fifth
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and forty seventh President of the United States of America, President
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Donald J.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Trump. The crowd went wild. Trump went out there. Of course.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Now Trump believes that Jackson Dart's the greatest quarterback of
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: all time. You know how that goes? Heyway, It's a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. The reaction to this has been
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: over the top. So let us discuss the question where
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: are you at on giant second year quarterback Jackson Dart
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: getting political with President Trump over the weekend.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: So I've got my views on this.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I got Jordan Syllabus and I hoop and we will
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together just so we have
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a fighting chance. So, first of all, if you're completely honest,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: not that we always are, but if you're completely honest
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: here politics. I've learned this as I've gone through life.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: It is the.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Sport for older people. I've had a number of people
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: tell me over these you know, I like sports. I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: love sports growing up, and I got to a certain
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: age and then I just moved over. I got whiplash
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and I moved over into politics. I feel like politics
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: for older people, middle aged older.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: People is it's their sports.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: My experience around professional athletes, most of them don't give
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a crap about politics. They just don't, right, even in
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: these polarizing times are in. They just don't care about it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They're into playing their sport, video games and the ladies,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and possibly some other things as well, but that's most
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of it. So Jackson Dart is I believe he's twenty three,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: He's got twelve more years before he's in eligible.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: To be like president. Right.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The whole thing, when you're an NFL quarterback entering the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: political arena, you are literally playing with live hand grenades.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: You just are.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And in modern sports, we believe, and I've been consistent,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: whether we were talking about Colin Kaepernick back in the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: day or Lebron James out doing a stump speech for
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: whoever his preferred candidate is, we believe that you should
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: follow the stay in your lane mantra, whether it's Lebron.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Or Jackson Dart, whether you're Team Blue or Team Red
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: or whatever. And here's why. Sports.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: The whole setup of this, the way it was sold
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was that sports are supposed to be a distraction from
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the complexities of life that can find common ground, right,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: common ground here and whatnot. They provide a beautiful escape
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: from the daily bull crap we all have to deal with.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And that also includes political turmoil, personal challenges, health problems,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. We're supposed to have this little thing
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that we can get into and it doesn't matter what team.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: You're on, blue or red. We can unite for one
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: common goal. Right.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And I've said this consistently over the years. When you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: alienate roughly half the people, you ruin that escape. The
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Jordan rules still apply here. That famous quote by Michael
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Jordan who said Republicans by sneakers too.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And it isn't the time to narrowcast.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: We talk about broadcasting here, and we do broadcasting. We
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: don't do narrow casting podcasts to narrowcast because you have
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to go out of your way to find the podcast.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You can stumble onto the radios. What's broadcasting is what
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: But it's not a time to narrow cast to a certain.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Niche if you will. And so that's my position on this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Whether I agree with Jackson Dart or not, I just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: think in general, all these guys would be better off
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: just doing the old Derek Jeter Michael Jordan, and in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: this case, Jackson Dart threw a pass into tight coverage
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and we'll see how it works out now. Secondly, while
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I believe that this is an unforced error by Jackson Dart,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the locker room fallout, I rolled.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: My eyes at this. So it's underway.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: We had Giants edge rusher Abdul Carter, who publicly criticized Jackson.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Dart for what we just talked about introducing.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The President of the United States over the weekend, sparking scrutiny.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Of course, because.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Abdul Carter, another guy, not the not a rocket science
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: neither's Jackson Dart, but Abdull Carter, like what are you doing?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: He was selected by the Giants in the same draft
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: class as Dart. He went on social media over the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: weekend to call out his teammate. He said, I thought
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: this blank sword was ai.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: What are we doing? Man, Carter wrote on social media.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: So that of course then upset the people that like
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: what Jackson Dart did right that side, and they fought back.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So the question what did you think of Abdul Carter
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of the Giants interjecting himself into the Jackson Dart story
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: with President Trump. So there's this famous story about Abraham
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Lincoln and the power of the unsent letter and how
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: he would write the meanest, nastiest letters President Lincoln. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: found this out after he died. I was killed, he
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: was assassinated. He'd write these terrible letters about people that
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: were criticizing him and whatnot, and.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: He would supposedly just leave them.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: He'd write do not send, don't send on the envelope,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and he'd leave it in his desk. And so he
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: got all those feelings out, he just didn't actually send
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the letter. So writing out your raw feelings without hitting
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the send is a very powerful tool of emotional release.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: It is a digital diary.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's great for processing frustration without the real world concept
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: winces and the drama.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Now, Abduall Carter, he's a young guy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: He chose to click send. Someone should have shown him
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the syllabus. I should have shown him, should have taught
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: him about Lincoln and the show him the syllabus about
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: how right what you'd you want to say?
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Just don't send it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: And this is hilarious considering Abdull Carter has publicly idolized
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Lawrence Taylor. Now, why is it hilarious that Abdull Carter
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: would take a little shot at Jackson Dart while publicly
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: idolizing Lawrence Taylor. Lawrence Taylor, going back to the nineteen eighties,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: is besties with President Trump. Now that Lawrence Taylor, who
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Abdull Carter has idolized, is a public supporter of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: President of the United States. Also, you might remember last
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: year when Carter rolled into New York for the Giants
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: as a rookie. We talked about it on the show.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: He had the audacity, Abduall Carter to ask the Giants
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to unretired number fifty six for him to wear. Now,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the team laughed at him, the fan base dragged him
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: through the mud for that. And it gets even better
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: for Abdul Carter. So Carter is now playing for John Harbaugh.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: John Harbaugh is firmly on the Trump train. Jew he
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is visited the White House with his brother Jim. They
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: all hung out at the hardballs there at the at
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the White House. So Carter basically threw in a political
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: punch that swung all the way with such a big
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: haymaker that it hit not only a quarterback, it hit
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: his head coach, and then he went back on social
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: media and says, ah, yeah, we we did some damage control,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: claiming that he and Dart they.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Talked it out. They're fine now. They did the whole
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Grunham thing.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And I'm of the mindset, like the State of Missouri mantra,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I'm of the mindset seeing is believing seeing his like.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Training camp will be here before you know it, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I promise you, I'll guarantee you there will be some
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: opportunistic members of the fourth Estate that will show up
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the Giants training camp just to kind of press buttons,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and it's going to be a circus there and any
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: bad body language by Abdua Carter and Jackson Dart.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: They don't really interact much because one's on defense and
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: once on offense. However, there will be moments where.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: They interact with each other and it's going to be
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a circus. Now, eventually the questions will be asked and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: they'll get over that little kerfluffle and life will go on.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: As I said, most of these guys don't really care
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that much about politics. They don't, and it bothers people
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that are very political that athletes, most of them are
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: not really worried about politics and all that, and this
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: will fade away. Eventually, there will be some speed mumps.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It's going to happen.
• 9:48

  Speaker 4: This is Rob Parker, and I'm here with an important
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: pub blick service announcement. Whatever you do, do not listen
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: to the Paulie and Tony Fusco Show. Fox Sports Radio
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: asked me to do a promo, but I'm here to
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: do a no mo, as in, don't listen to this show.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: No mo the host of two fools from Philly who
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: have the dumbest takes ever in all of sports talk.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: And you know, if I'm saying that, they must really
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: be bad. I have no idea why Fox Sports Radio
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: picked this up, but I know where to put it
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: down in the trash can. So please don't listen to
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: the Paulie and Tony Fusco Show, No Way, No how,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: or lead this.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Hour from the Mistake by the Lake, Yes, the ironic
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: nickname of years gone by, back again. We go to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Cleveland and all what an epic playoff run it was
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: unless it wasn't. And our lead from Game four the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Eastern Finals, Jalen Brunson and the Knickerbockers going for the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: old sweeperoo in the Madison Square Garden of Ohio, or
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: so it seemed again. Spider Mitchell and the Cadavers, and
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they lived up to their nickname the Cadavers in a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: large way. If you were not watching, perhaps not, you
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: miss nothing, absolutely nothing. Don't worry, we watched that. You
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: are not half to It's are good mits for the day.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: A balanced attack by the Knickerbockers. Carl Anthony Towns kinnicat
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns at nineteen points, fourteen rebounds, o g
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and Anobi with seventeen points, and the Knickerbockers they actually
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: didn't just beat Cleveland, they spit roasted the Cavaliers by
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: thirty seven points. Thirty seven point win by the Necks.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: They complete the four game sweep aaroo. As Cleveland is out,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers have advanced to the NBA Finals, so the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: first time since nineteen teen ninety nine. That was before
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: social media, before Gmail, before pretty much everything. The last
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: time the Knicks made the NBA Finals. Now the better
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: story is in the losing locker room as well. All
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: say no da da da, goodbye to the Cavaliers. They're
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: are So James Harden my favorite punching bag on the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Cleveland basketball team. James Harden added again and another sinker
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: by all accounts, by any measurement, James Harden was bad, bad, bad, bad,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: bad bad, and Cleveland losing by thirty seven points. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Harden was asked postgame to self assess his playoff run
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and he did the thing you can't do at the time.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: You can't do it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the audio tape.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: I think I did pretty good. You know, I don't
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: even I don't grave myself off shot making.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I think coming here.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Was just a piece to fulfill whatever needs to be fulfilled,
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: and you know, defensively, being extremely solid offensively, you know,
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: getting guy shots and fitting into a system that was
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: already in place.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the key part of that is the beginning.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: James Harden. There was this weird thing that he did
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: where he went right in the middle of it, but
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: he said, hey, I think I did pretty good. When
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we play that part again, just that part of the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: see we have then just beginning part here, I think
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I did pretty good. What does that mean?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Is that a snake?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: It's like like a King Cobra James Harden King played again,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: King Cobra, James Harden.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I think I did?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Who does that? He did it? What is that? I
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: don't even know what that is?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: He's trying to get a kiddicts, Seriously, have you ever
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: done that in your life?
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I've never done that? What is that? I don't plan?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Again?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: What is that? I don't know what that is? What
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: is it? I think I did? What they're going to
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: is that the sign I'm lying?
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: So this is a good jumping off point.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question how do you react to
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: James Harden as you heard there rubber stamping his playoffs
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: performance for the Cavaliers. So I've got birthday confetti, French
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: foreign legion, and water supply, and we will combine all
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: of these things together and you and I are going
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to go spot on the mark is what we're going
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to do. So a you talk about being a few
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: whiskers short of where you need to be, the lack
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of awareness, the word obtuse comes to mind. We can
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: talk about James Harden. Now I know the moment when
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: things went sideways for Cleveland, and that moment was one
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: hundred and ten days prior to getting swept out of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals. That was February fourth, and that
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: is when the Cleveland basketball team made the splash.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Move, or so they thought the splash move.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: They went out and got the aforementioned James Harden from
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the people's team, the Clippers.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: That was supposed to be a splash.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, it was a puddle, not a big wave, not
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: some kind of typhoon. It was a puddle. James Harden
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the puddle, and he certainly set the tone. I'll give
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Harden credit. He wasn't in Ohio very long, but he
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: set the tone. And when he says I think I
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: did pretty good, he says that under his leadership, his tutelage,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the James Harden experience, they played Cleveland like they had
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: been harpooned with a special tranquilizer gun and the entire
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: team there. You talk about things that go bumpety bump
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in the night for the kidavers. Here we're talking bedwetting,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: teeth grinding, night terrors and more. All of that taking
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: place adding James Harden to win a championship is like saying, hey,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I need a locksmith. You call the locksmith, and the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: locksmith shows up and locks himself out of his own van.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Well, what's no good.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Or a better analogy would be like, hey, listen, why
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: don't we go skydiving? And hey, my kid made a
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: parachute made out of birthday confetti. Well, that's likely not
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: going to get you safely to the ground, the birthday
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: confetti parachute. But the kid made it, and I don't
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: want to let the kid down, so let's jump out
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of the plane.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Who says no? What the hell? So James Harden? Who
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: yet again, He's got this great.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: He's like a chameleon, James Harden.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: He goes from Afar. He looks like a star from Afar.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: He looks like a star James Harden. And then he
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: evaporates when you get close to him, or he gets
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: close to your team. He evaporates at the worst possible time.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: So this disaster is also on spite of Mitchell, who
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: advocated publicly to get the beard at age thirty six.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: To come in.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And then the GM Kobe Autman, I believe is the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: guy's name who runs basketball ops, who signed off on
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the deal for the Cleveland basketball team. They felt they
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: fell face first right into the booby trap. And it's
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the trust me trap. Trust me, Bro, It's the trust
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: me trap. Don't fall for the trust me trap. Trust
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: me Bro. That's what happened here. Cleveland fell for the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: oldest lie in pro bouncy ball that this time it'll
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: be different with James Harden. It's going to be different.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Every franchise has thought everyone that they are the exception
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to the rule when it comes to James Harden. And
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: yet again, this just into the Fox Sports Radio newsroom.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: None of them ever are the exception, None of them,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: None of them. It's why what a great hustle. Seriously,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I am jealous that James Harden's been able to pull
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: this off.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: It's wild. Everywhere he's gone.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: He's thirty six, he's old by sports terms, and he's
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: still getting these opportunities. Is absolutely crazy. The Cavs did
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: not miscalculate. They did not miscalculate the talent. They miscalculated
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: human nature. It's a bad job by them. Harden evaporates
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: every single time your lucky even get one or two
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: good games out of him in the playoff series, a
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: couple of average games, and then he will absolutely kill
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you in several games.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: That's how that works there.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: He's exactly who he is every April and May and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Cleveland paid the ultimate price.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: They ignored the warning signs. They just that's it. We
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: ignorre it now page two here. So keeping the theme going.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: As much as I loved James Harden, I must spend
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: some time with my machete going after the coach Kenny Atkinson,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: who was asked postgame if the twenty twenty sixth season
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: was a success, and well, rather than me give you
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the quote, here's the Calves coach asked to break down
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the Calves progress this season.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: Thing I is, I'll turn a positive though. We took
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: a step. We took a step. You know, this is
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: kind of how this works. You have to you have
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: to keep climbing. We are going in, you know, obviously
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: a positive direction.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: You know fell short.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: You know, there's no bigger motivator right to get to
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: the next level. You know, I think of this all
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: season and development and how we got to the sacrifice.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: We're going to need to, you know, make to get
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: to the next level. But I'm proud of this group
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: in terms of how they how they fought through adversity.
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: You know, one to two game sevens we took we
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: took a step. I think we took a step mentally
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: from a mental toughness point of view. I'm going to
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: kind of lean on that. And again, we don't know
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: there's another you know, none of the two steps really you
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: gotta take if you you know, that's that's the ultimate goal.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Did I watch a different series?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking I think, seriously, I think I might have
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: watched something else, Like I didn't watch what he's talking about, Like,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I don't, am I losing my mind here? Seriously, I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: sat on my fat ass watching every one of these
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: stupid games. And that's the conclusion the head coach of
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: an NBA team comes to that series like, I'm one
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty degrees.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: The other way.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: So the question, as you just heard coach Kenny Atkinson
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: said the Calves took a step forward in this postseason.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: How is that how it looks from the catbird seat? Yeah,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: even blind Scott can see and Inka Terror and uh
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: swamp Billy, all my blind guys, and we get a lot, Stevie, meeple.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: We lead the blind world and they can all see this.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I'm giving this a massive shoulder shrug, is what I'm
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: doing here. Just insane. If this is what the Calves
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: look like taking a step forward, you imagine if they
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: were doing the moonwalk, what would that look like? Holy crap, Like,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: this was not a step forward. This was the Cavaliers
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: tripping over their own shoelaces, face planting into a sandbox,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and then getting up and telling everyone, boy, that sand
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: tasted really good. Man, that was the most delicious sand
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: we've ever had. What is that they essentially got after
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: they blew the leading game one, they got into the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: fetal position, they started sucking their thumb collectively and holding
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: their Blankye, that's what the Calves did, And this is progress,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: my fat ass. That's not progress. They basically joined the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: French Foreign Legion. They enlisted, they saluted, and they surrendered.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: That's what they did. And whatever good will they gained
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs earlier to me, it all went out
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: the door in the Eastern Conference finals. Here, like Monopoly,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: they competed for forty minutes. Here, there's forty spaces on
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a standard monopoly board and the team from Cleveland competed
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: for forty minutes. That's it, And how did I come
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to that conclusion. So they were up, They were up
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: twenty two points in Game one, So they had twenty
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: two point leading Game one, about eight minutes to go
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: in the game. They then at that point underwent a metamorphosis.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: They turned into a clearance rack inflatable tube men, you
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: know those twoe men outside stores to try to get
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: you to come in and spend your money and all
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: that stuff.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they got outscored. I did the Malord math on this.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: From the eight minute to go mark a little less
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: than that eight minutes or so to go in game
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: one to the end of the series. The New York
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: basketball team quit. They gave up, or the Cleveland basketball
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: team gave up against the New York basketball team, is
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say. They were outscored the Cadavers
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: by ninety nine points, ninety nine the ninety nine outscored
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: by ninety nine points. From being up twenty two, they
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: lost that game, outscored forty four to eleven in Game
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: one the rest of the way, but overall from that
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: point forward, outscored by ninety nine points and the signature moment,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the signat moment James Harden falling into quicksand Kenny Atkinson,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned Kenny Atkinson, who was so indoctrinated into the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: cult of the nerds that he actually said after game three,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: analytically we have one two out of three in the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: expected score. Analytic would have fired his ass after that game,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I would It's a rinky ding franchise of the Cavaliers.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I would have fired the coach. You talk about this.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I was having a conversation something in the hallway, it
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: might have been Harmon, and we were talking about how
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: like when you bring in these analytic people, the nerds
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: from Ivy League schools, and you mix them with meatheads
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: coaches like Kenny Atkinson or really like that Bright, they
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: just take all of the bull crap from the nerds
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and they just repeat it. It's the dogma of the world.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, the nerds say an expected score, so
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: let me.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Just repeat that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: The only analytic that matters, dummy, is the scoreboard.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Moron.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: All this other crap is just filler. It's just bull
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: crap anyway, So there you go. Bozo the clown with
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: like his red foam nose back and his oversized shoes.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Kenny, can you make sure to get those back? Thank you?
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Kenny Atkins in.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: There bragging about expected score and saying that you accomplished
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: something after you got swept and your team gave up.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: That is the nerdiest losing flex in NBA history, at
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: least recent NBA history. Now last words, So there was
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of celebrity influence in Cleveland. Of course, none
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: of them from Cleveland. They all had to be brought
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: in from other places, and almost all of them came
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: in from the New York Tri state area. I bring
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: this up because they had the brigade of fanboys. How
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: about Spike Lee sixty nine years old, He's the king fanboy.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: He had his knee pads on for the Knicks.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: He was ready to go in one orange, one blue.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Good Old Spike Lee at age sixty nine, right there
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: at the Rocket Arena in Cleveland. It was not smooth
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: saleing Nicks super fan. Fat Joe, Fat Joe the rapper.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: He's old used to be big back in the day.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: So Fat Joe said, the Cavaliers took the tickets away
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: he had purchased to sit courtside for Game four. Say
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: what fatcho appeared on something called NBA today and what
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that is? In Cleveland, he said that unprompted, he was
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: not asked about this. He said that the Cavalier took
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the Cavalier ticket department took away his tickets because they
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: didn't want Knickerbocker fans sitting that close. Now, peeple saw
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: a bunch of celebrities. I saw celebrities on TV, he said,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: with a lot that's bull crap. Well, the Cavaliers confirmed
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: it's true. Fat Joe was not lying. Fat Joe was
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: telling the truth. The cadavers confirmed they absolutely catapulted Fat
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Joe from his court side seat. Cleveland said that playoff
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: court side seating is governed by a specific agreement that
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: prohibits the resale or transfer of tickets in the front
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: rows without approval. So get your fat ass out of here,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Fat Joe said the Cavaliers. All right, So the question
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: what do you think of the Calves giving the old
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: boot to Fat Joe?
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: And he was not alone.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: There were some other celebrities that also got the boot,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the New York celebrities from court side. So this is
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the most small market. Okay, most small market, small minded,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: small energy move that you can possibly do. When this
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: happens in rinky ding towns, this is what they do.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: And so Cleveland's just proving yet again that they're not
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: really a big league town when they do things like this.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. I got friends who are in Cleveland. I
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: feel bad for my friends in Cleveland.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: The Cavaliers were so utterly terrified by some seless celebrities.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: There are a bunch of old dudes who are Nick
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: celebrity fans mostly, and so the Kes are like, we're
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: gonna run a gated community in the first couple of rows,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: gonna run a gated community court side. Okay, that makes sense,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: said nobody, said nobody. You're scared of fat Joe wearing
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a Knick shirt. Really, that's what you're afraid of. Now,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: while technically this crap is allowed, I can't sit here
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: and say that mister Dolan, who owns the Knicks doesn't
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: do the same bull crap. That's that aside, all right.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: It's emasculating. It is absolutely emasculating. You know you are
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: rattled when your defensive game plan is to ban new
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: York celebrities that that is the move here and Cleveland
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: where the playoff strategy is no visiting fans and you
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Wear the dam shirt.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: You know, they have a rule at the playoff games.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: You have that's your uniform. With those stupid shirts they
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: give out, you have to wear the shirts.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: That's another sign.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: And it's like all this stuff written by a hall
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: monitor who wants that they have like an Hoa for
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: the calves. Everyone hates Hoa's imagining. So insecure that you
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: are policing T shirts and VIPs, that's your move as
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: a professional basketball franchise. I would check the water supply
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: because I'm pretty sure that Cleveland, because of this move
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the basketball team anyway, that is a jerk water town.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: It's a jerk water move by the Cavaliers. There very
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: backwoodsy boon dockey all of that stuff and tell me
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: you're a po dunk town without telling me you're a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: PO dunk town. When you're like, oh listen, you have
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to wear the shirt and any celebrity that bought the dog,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you can't do that. Oh my god, loser, loser, loser,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: should have taken a page out of the Rams House mantra.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Imagine the Rams did that. They had the NFC Championship
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: game a couple of years ago at home. It was
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: essentially a forty nine er home game. There was a
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: sea of red and all my friends who are forty
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: nine er fans. So there's no way the Niners can lose.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: It's a home game, and they lost, and the Rams
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: went on to win the Super Bowl that year, So
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, right, and pumping out celebs like, when
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: you're doing that, seriously, you know you're cooked at that
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: particular point. And the only thing more embarrassing than the
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: ticket policy is, of course, the way that James Harden
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: played and Kenny Atkinson coached and all that.
• 29:36
