0:00
So, we've talked about the top 10
0:02
greatest moments in New York sports
0:04
history and we've also talked about the
0:06
Knicks championship run and the things
0:08
that they went through. Today, we're
0:09
going to be talking about the top 10 New
0:12
York sports blunders. And I'm going to
0:15
be honest with you, dude, I I went
0:16
through this thing and I could not find
0:18
a lot that I remembered about. There's a
0:20
few obviously everybody's going to know,
0:22
but there were so many that I tried to
0:23
remember and I couldn't really remember
0:25
any of them. So, my list is definitely
0:27
going to be a lot different than yours.
0:29
So, how long did it take you to come up
0:31
with these? Let me ask you that.
0:33
>> Not long. I just I My problem was
0:36
narrowing them down and then like
0:39
putting them in in order where I felt
0:41
like where where my number one was, you
0:44
know what I mean? Like
0:46
cuz there's a lot There's a lot. You
0:48
probably forgot a lot of these and you
0:49
want to forget a lot of these, but
0:50
there's a lot. There's a lot of them.
0:52
>> So, I definitely forgot, but we talked a
0:55
little bit before the show about He came
0:56
up with a ton of honorable mentions. I
0:58
couldn't come up with one. That's how
1:00
tough I found this to be. So, I'm going
1:02
to let you start and we're going to
1:03
cover
1:04
>> to list that many.
1:08
>> Yeah, we're going to cut it down to your
1:09
top two honorable mentions and then
1:11
we'll get into the actual list. So, I'm
1:12
going to let you start. Give me your
1:14
first honorable mention.
1:15
>> So, my first honorable mention
1:18
is going to be 2009 Mets versus Yankees
1:22
June of 2009
1:24
and it was a Subway Series
1:26
and the Mets were winning 9 to 8
1:30
and
1:32
you know, like the Mets I guess
1:35
they were you know, they were still
1:36
relevant. They you know, they were
1:37
coming off
1:39
Yeah, I I won't go into too much, but
1:41
they were they were still relevant team.
1:42
Yankees were still good. Back to that
1:44
2009 was when the Yankees went to the
1:46
World Series. So, the Mets were winning
1:48
the game 9 to 8.
1:50
Bottom of the ninth.
1:51
K-Rod on the mound.
1:55
He's about to wrap it up. Throws a pitch
1:57
to A-Rod. A-Rod hits this can of corn
2:01
to the second baseman, Luis Castillo,
2:04
who in turn proceeds to drop the pop-up.
2:08
And that's it, game over. Yankees score
2:11
two runs, and you just I all I remember
2:14
was K-Rod with his glove on his head,
2:17
looking like what the hell just
2:19
happened.
2:19
>> Popped up.
2:22
Castillo.
2:25
DROP THE BALL! HE DROPPED THE BALL! HERE
2:28
COMES TISHARA, AND THE YANKEES WIN!
2:32
>> I didn't even remember that. I'm not
2:33
going to lie to you. Like I do I
2:34
remember it vaguely. That's the thing.
2:36
So like didn't even come to my mind when
2:37
we were talking about sports blunders.
2:39
So I don't have another honorable
2:40
mention. So you tell me what was your
2:41
other one.
2:43
>> Oh, you're not going to like this one. I
2:45
It's It's just This is one of my
2:46
favorite
2:48
moments. And I I can't believe you
2:49
didn't list this one, but
2:51
November 27, 1994, Miami Dolphins versus
2:54
the Jets.
2:56
The Dolphins were losing 24 to 21. 22
3:01
seconds left on the clock. Marino's
3:03
marching down the field. He's running
3:05
through the line of scrimmage. He's got
3:06
about 22 seconds left. He's He's like
3:09
getting down to the line like he's going
3:10
to spike the ball.
3:12
Gets to the line. The Jets are there
3:14
flat-footed.
3:16
Marino then in turn just takes the ball,
3:17
throws it to Mark Ingram in the end
3:19
zone.
3:21
>> We are seeing another spectacular effort
3:23
by Marino WHO FIRES TOUCHDOWN!
3:29
>> TOUCHDOWN. MARINO'S running around the
3:31
field like he just won the [ __ ] Super
3:32
Bowl, and the Jets just in typical Jets
3:36
fashion go down to the Dolphins.
3:39
Dolphins end up going like that
3:40
propelled them, and they end up winning
3:41
the the uh AFC East that year. But just
3:45
an incredible incredible defeat at the
3:48
hands of Dan Marino.
3:49
>> The fake spike. So let me tell you this
3:51
is number nine my list.
3:53
The number nine on my list, but let me
3:55
set a scene for you, okay? The first
3:57
half of that game, and I remember this
3:58
game vividly. I
4:00
The Jets were playing incredibly
4:02
offensively. Boomer Esiason was the
4:04
quarterback. Johnny Mitchell had a huge
4:07
game in the first half, came out of
4:08
nowhere that year. Incredible first
4:10
half. I remember this cuz I'm at a bar
4:12
with my family at some party, and I'm
4:15
I'm at the bar watching the game, but
4:16
there's no sound what the whatsoever.
4:18
And I remember, man, the Jets are
4:20
killing these guys. I'm like, "Oh, this
4:21
is great. This great."
4:22
Second half comes and it's just a
4:24
downward spiral spiral ending the game
4:27
in that fashion. Of course, who was that
4:29
against? Aaron Glenn, who is now one of
4:31
my favorite players, of course, growing
4:32
up. And now he Of course, he is the Jets
4:34
head coach. I'm I'm shocked it was an
4:35
honorable mention for you. Like, to me,
4:37
it was still number nine, but it was
4:38
such a big part of the lowly Jets
4:41
history that I thought it would make the
4:43
list.
4:44
>> Well, here's the Here's the thing.
4:45
Here's why it didn't make my top 10 is
4:47
because the game, ultimately, was
4:49
insignificant. Jets sucked.
4:52
>> Hold on. No, no. The Jets going into
4:54
that game, they were six and four. So,
4:56
no. They were doing well that season.
4:58
That They lost every game after that
5:00
one. They went six and 10 that year.
5:03
They lost every game since that spike.
5:05
>> Again, it wasn't it wasn't pivotal.
5:08
Again, yes, they I mean, in typical Jets
5:10
fashion, they they collapsed after that
5:12
game.
5:13
>> In true Jets fashion, Pete Carroll was
5:15
the head coach of the Jets during his
5:17
one season, and they were playing well
5:19
defensively, offensively still they
5:21
started to come alive with Boomer
5:22
Esiason, Johnny Mitchell, like I said
5:24
before. And all of a sudden, that game
5:26
changed the course of history. Cuz after
5:29
that season, the Jets fired Pete
5:31
Carroll, they hired Rich Kotite. Pete
5:33
Carroll went to New England. It would
5:34
just It just sent the Jets down a
5:36
miserable spiral. Not just for that
5:38
season, but hiring Rich Kotite would
5:40
have then eventually got us Bill
5:42
Parcells. So, I guess something good
5:43
came out of it a couple years down on
5:45
line. So, that was your two honorable
5:46
mentions. So, you want me to start
5:48
number 10, right?
5:49
>> Go right ahead.
5:51
>> So, we're going to stick with the New
5:52
York Jets and it is the butt fumble, the
5:56
infamous butt fumble by Mark Sanchez.
5:59
>> A year ago we talked to Tom Moore then
6:00
at Indianapolis, the offensive
6:01
coordinator. We got a busted play here
6:03
and then and then Sanchez gets hit, the
6:06
ball is loose and it's alive. I have
6:09
never seen this before in my life.
6:11
>> And it's only number 10 on my list
6:13
because the Jets were terrible that year
6:14
regardless. Like, if they were a good
6:16
team like they were under Rex Ryan the
6:17
previous couple of years it would have
6:19
been a lot worse, but because the team
6:21
was so bad that year,
6:23
it's got to be at number 10. Yes, it's a
6:25
horrific moment. Summed up the season,
6:27
but don't forget under Rex Ryan the Jets
6:29
were a really good football team. Two
6:30
AFC Championship appearances in a row.
6:32
They couldn't get it done, but to me
6:34
yes, it's a bad New York sports moment
6:36
because of what happened, but in the
6:38
grand scheme of Jets fandom, it's really
6:40
not that bad.
6:42
>> It it actually was one of my honorable
6:44
mentions just because it was hysterical.
6:46
You know, you just don't see I mean it
6:47
was
6:48
typical Jets
6:50
[ __ ] up. It was just terrible. But
6:52
again, the game was insignificant, the
6:54
season was insignificant. That's why it
6:55
didn't make my top 10 because
6:58
and ultimately it made no difference.
7:00
They even if they were
7:02
um
7:03
winning the game, whatever, that season
7:05
meant nothing. It was just it was
7:07
nothing for them, so.
7:08
>> The worst part of it is what it happened
7:10
against the Patriots which made it even
7:11
worse. Because the Patriots obviously
7:13
were the dynasty of that era, so.
7:15
>> the fake spike. It was against the
7:16
Dolphins, you know, AFC rival.
7:18
>> All right, before we get to your Well,
7:20
let's hear your number 10 because we're
7:22
not going to cover it in too much, but
7:23
what's your number 10?
7:24
>> Number 10 was low on the list for me
7:27
because it happened before we were
7:28
alive.
7:30
And it was a I mean like not too many
7:32
people will say it's a I mean yeah, it's
7:34
a blunder because they ended up losing,
7:36
but
7:37
October 13th, 1960, game seven of the
7:40
1960 World Series.
7:43
Yankees versus Pittsburgh Pirates, game
7:45
tied 9-9, bottom of the ninth, second
7:48
baseman Bill Mazeroski, who ends up
7:49
making the Hall of Fame anyway, but
7:52
uh
7:53
gets up, bottom of the ninth, hits a
7:54
home run off of Ralph Terry. Pittsburgh
7:56
wins the World Series. Still to this
7:58
day, the only game-winning home run to
8:01
win a World Series.
8:02
>> My number nine was the Marino spike. So,
8:06
we covered that already. What's your
8:07
number nine of the top 10 New York
8:09
sports blunders?
8:10
>> This one is is fairly recent. It's a
8:13
game five of the 2024
8:15
World Series, Yankees-Dodgers.
8:18
Um the Yanks were down 3-1 in that
8:21
series, but they had Gerrit Cole on the
8:23
mound.
8:25
They could have won that this game.
8:27
They're They're up five nothing.
8:30
Um you know, they win this game, it
8:31
could be a different series. You don't
8:32
know.
8:34
Fly ball off of Tommy Edman's bat.
8:38
We all know what happens. He drops the
8:39
fly ball.
8:41
Opens up the inning. They score five
8:43
runs, tie the game. They go on to win
8:44
7-6. They win the World Series.
8:47
And you know, this stuff just doesn't
8:48
happen to the Yankees, but it happened
8:50
to the Yankees, and it was just uh one
8:51
of those epic collapses. And
8:53
you know, I mean, listen, I'm not a
8:55
Yankee hater, but it was kind of funny.
8:58
>> You're a Yankee hater. Stop it now. Stop
9:00
it.
9:02
All right. So, this one should get under
9:03
your skin. We're going to go to to
9:04
number eight. We
9:06
>> Oh, boy.
9:06
>> So,
9:06
>> All right. Let's hear it.
9:07
>> number eight is is something I don't
9:09
think it's going to make your list, but
9:10
being a Mets fan,
9:13
early in the 2000s, this one should make
9:16
every Mets fans list. Because when I
9:18
remember when this happened, me and you
9:20
had a a long conversation and back and
9:22
forth about this.
9:24
And it's the Carlos Beltrán cold strike
9:26
three in 2006.
9:29
>> Beltrán at the plate, Carlos Beltrán. He
9:31
is ready. So is Wainwright. The 0-2
9:35
delivery.
9:36
Curve struck him out looking. The
9:38
Cardinals are going to Michigan to take
9:40
on the Tigers.
9:41
>> This did make my list.
9:42
>> It did. Okay, so let me tell you
9:44
something. We were
9:45
>> on the phone. We were
9:46
I was saying how do you not get a ball
9:49
on the bat with two strikes? I
9:51
understand that called strike three was
9:52
a big breaking ball, but you know what?
9:53
You got to swing.
9:55
>> If I remember correctly, we were on the
9:57
phone.
9:58
All right, so with this one I mean I'll
10:00
tell you where where where was it on my
10:01
list? Let me tell you where it was on my
10:02
list first and then actually for me,
10:05
this was number two on the list.
10:07
>> Oh, wow. That's
10:09
>> It was devastating.
10:11
It was devastating and I'll tell you
10:12
why.
10:13
It was number two on my list.
10:15
It was game seven NLCS.
10:18
The game was tight. The Mets were
10:21
heavily favored, but Cardinals were not
10:24
they were like barely into the playoffs,
10:25
right?
10:26
>> That was a great Mets team. Phenomenal
10:28
Mets team.
10:29
>> You can't even you can't even it was the
10:31
greatest Mets team
10:33
I mean it's up there with '86. That's
10:35
how good they were, okay? They trumped
10:37
the 2000 team. This team was phenomenal.
10:39
>> Yeah. Oh, they had stars everywhere on
10:41
that team.
10:41
>> Yeah, they had pitching, fielding,
10:43
batting, everything was great.
10:46
It's one to one
10:48
and we were on the phone like the whole
10:50
throughout the whole game.
10:51
Endy Chavez makes that catch, ends up
10:53
throwing out the guy at first base,
10:55
doubles him up. Mets get out of the
10:56
inning.
10:57
We go to the top of the ninth
11:00
and freaking Yadier Molina hits that
11:02
two-run home run. They go ahead three to
11:04
one. And you were on the phone with me
11:06
and you [ __ ] you're like, "That's it.
11:07
I'm [ __ ] done." And you hung up the
11:09
phone and you're like, "Fuck this team."
11:10
You were like done.
11:12
Bottom of the ninth comes.
11:14
Mets load the bases. I get your ass on
11:16
the phone. You're like, "I'm [ __ ]
11:17
watching." You're going nuts. We're all
11:18
going nuts cuz Beltrán's up. You're
11:20
like,
11:21
>> Yeah.
11:21
>> Beltrán's going to come through, right?
11:23
>> So so hold on. Before you go any
11:24
further, let's not forget who Carlos
11:26
Beltrán was prior to coming to the Mets.
11:29
In Houston, he was Mr. Clutch in the
11:32
playoffs.
11:33
>> Modern day Mariano Rivera.
11:35
>> I'm expecting something big here in this
11:37
moment.
11:39
>> Yeah, I mean
11:42
I I expected him to come through minimal
11:45
base hit, minimal.
11:47
If not like a grand slam, cuz bases are
11:49
loaded. You just you just feel
11:51
electricity in the place, Shea's going
11:53
nuts.
11:55
And when Wright throws that [ __ ]
11:57
ridiculous curveball, I'm and I can
11:58
still see it.
11:59
>> He never took the god damn bat off his
12:01
shoulders. I'm like
12:02
>> You It doesn't matter. You have to
12:03
protect the plate with two strikes. You
12:05
have to swing at that ball. There's no
12:08
question about it. And he just watched
12:10
it come in. What did you think was going
12:11
to happen? I'm still pissed off about
12:13
that. I'm not a huge Met fan anymore
12:15
because I just can't deal with [ __ ] like
12:16
that and how baseball's played nowadays.
12:18
>> I said to you in the last podcast that
12:20
the Cardinals have always been the Mets
12:22
nemesis. And it's just another reason
12:24
for me to hate the Cardinals because
12:25
they always stick it to the Mets
12:26
somehow. So, what's your number eight?
12:28
That was mine.
12:29
>> All right. So, eight. Let's see what I
12:31
had as eight. I got to look for it
12:33
because I got my ridiculous list here.
12:35
Oh, this is one of your favorites, I
12:37
believe.
12:38
1994 game five Eastern Conference
12:40
finals, Indiana Pacers and the Knicks.
12:45
Wow, this was a great game. I remember
12:47
this one. This was the Knicks were
12:48
trailing in the fourth quarter.
12:50
I not the Knicks. No, I'm sorry. The
12:51
Pacers were trailing in the fourth
12:53
quarter. My bad. The Pacers were
12:55
trailing in the fourth quarter.
12:57
And the entire game Spike Lee's jawing
13:01
at Reggie Miller.
13:03
Reggie goes off for [ __ ] 25 points in
13:06
that fourth quarter.
13:09
He scores 39 for the game.
13:12
Okay?
13:13
And the infamous
13:15
choke signal is born. It's the famous
13:19
Reggie Miller choke game.
13:20
Now, it it is number eight on my list.
13:23
And this is the reason why.
13:25
The Knicks won game six and game seven.
13:26
So, it made no difference, but it is
13:28
still infamous.
13:30
It is still great. Reggie Miller's
13:32
performance in that game was ridiculous.
13:33
The Knicks should have had them beat.
13:35
They didn't beat them.
13:36
>> To me that's not a big blunder. It's not
13:38
a big blunder considering they went on
13:39
to win the series.
13:41
>> they still went on to win the series. I
13:43
was going to make an honorable mention,
13:45
but
13:46
>> It's a definitely a moment in New York
13:48
sports moment which will never be
13:49
forgotten, but still. All right, so I'm
13:51
going to go to number seven and and my
13:53
list is filled with sports moments. They
13:56
may not be in the actual sporting event,
13:58
okay, but one of the biggest blunders
14:01
New York has ever seen that I think
14:03
people have forgot about
14:04
is Plaxico Burress shooting himself in
14:07
the leg.
14:08
>> Oh, wow.
14:09
>> And getting going to jail after that
14:11
because you forget the New York Giants
14:13
just came off a Super Bowl victory.
14:15
>> Former Super Bowl champion Plaxico
14:17
Burress was formally indicted on gun
14:19
charges Monday in New York City.
14:21
>> And over the Patriots and he caught that
14:23
big touchdown for them to win the game
14:25
and then for him to go out, go to a
14:27
nightclub, bring a bring a gun in New
14:30
York
14:31
without a carry license, get arrested.
14:33
He went to prison and derailed his
14:35
career. That to me is number seven. The
14:37
one of the biggest blunders that didn't
14:39
occur
14:40
>> And who and
14:40
>> on the court, on the field.
14:41
>> Who knows? Who knows if they had him
14:43
like what what could have happened,
14:44
right? You know, they still had a decent
14:46
team.
14:47
>> Uh dude, he was he was a big time
14:48
player, big time part of that team. He
14:50
was such a match up nightmare nightmare
14:51
cuz guy's like six five or six six,
14:54
whatever. He was huge. So that was that
14:56
was to me is my number seven. What's
14:57
your number seven?
14:59
>> Another one of these gut-wrenching ones
15:00
for a fellow Knicks fan there.
15:02
Game seven, 1995 Eastern Conference
15:05
semi-finals, Knicks versus Pacers again.
15:09
Knicks down 97-95.
15:11
>> This is the big one. This is the big
15:13
one.
15:13
>> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
15:16
Um they inbound the ball at half court.
15:19
Right? And they have a play set up for
15:20
Ewing. Ewing spins off the defender,
15:24
has a clear path to the basket.
15:26
You thinking we're tying the game at
15:28
minimum. He gets fouled, we're going to
15:29
we got a chance to win it, right?
15:31
>> Starks cuts to the corner. Inbound to
15:33
Ewing.
15:34
Now at three,
15:35
NOW AT TWO,
15:36
EWING
15:40
>> INSTEAD OF FREAKING DUNKING THE BALL,
15:43
my man finger rolls it.
15:46
Okay, gets cute with the ball.
15:48
Hits the back of the rim.
15:50
Pacers go on to win that game. They win
15:52
the series and go on to the Eastern
15:54
Conference Finals.
15:55
>> So, let me tell you something. That is
15:57
That is my number one sports blunder.
16:00
>> Wow.
16:01
>> You
16:01
You don't under- You don't understand
16:03
how much that haunted me.
16:05
>> have been your year.
16:06
>> For 40 years that has bothered me until
16:09
the Knicks were able to just win it. You
16:10
don't understand how big that was. The
16:12
Knicks came off '94 going to the finals.
16:15
You know, they played hard. John Starks
16:17
went cold in in game seven. You all know
16:19
the series. They come back the next year
16:20
still under Pat Riley. They're favored
16:22
again to come out of the East. Jordan
16:25
had just come back off of baseball and
16:27
he had lost to
16:28
the Magic
16:30
in that series
16:31
uh in that year as well. So,
16:34
Ewing's got to dunk that god damn ball.
16:36
He misses it and I am just beside
16:38
myself. Gut-wrenching. To me it That's
16:40
That's haunted me forever until right
16:43
now, you know.
16:44
>> Yeah. I can see that.
16:47
>> It has been such a long time for me to
16:49
get over that.
16:50
Like 1995 to 2026, we're talking about
16:53
31 years.
16:54
>> Yeah.
16:55
They had a rough run in that the late
16:57
'90s.
16:58
>> So, that was my number one, man. And
17:00
that's only your number seven, which is
17:02
wild to me.
17:03
>> Oh, wait. It gets better. Yeah.
17:05
>> Oh, great. So, let's go to number six.
17:07
Number six again another New York Knicks
17:09
moment. It's the one I touched on
17:10
before. It's Reggie Miller scoring eight
17:13
points in nine seconds and the Knicks
17:15
lose that game one.
17:17
>> Game that's nearly 60 fouls called.
17:19
Actually, that is short of the record
17:20
for both teams in a playoff game.
17:22
Miller for three, and he got it.
17:25
Reggie Miller with a clutch tray, and
17:27
it's 105-102.
17:30
And a steal! Miller retreats to THE
17:32
THREE-POINT LINE AND HITS AGAIN!
17:34
>> I think they still won that series. It's
17:36
either a '94 or a '95. That that's the
17:38
thing. I don't remember what year it
17:40
was. That's why I asked you before.
17:42
But I think this the Knicks still went
17:43
on to win that series.
17:44
>> I remember that game like it was
17:45
yesterday. That was the most ridiculous
17:47
thing I ever He He went off. That last
17:49
like 10 seconds of the game was crazy.
17:51
>> He He hits He hits a shot. Knicks go to
17:54
inbound the ball underneath the basket,
17:56
and they're pressing, and for some
17:58
goddamn reason Anthony Mason, God rest
18:00
his soul, throws the ball to Reggie
18:02
Miller, who then steps out behind the
18:04
arc and nails a three to tie the game.
18:07
It was just
18:08
in true typical Knicks fashion,
18:12
gut-wrenching. So, to me, that's my
18:13
number six. And Reggie Miller, again,
18:15
he's
18:16
Honestly, I think my Michael Jordan to
18:19
me is the number one guy I cannot stand,
18:21
but he was the goat, so I get it.
18:23
>> Reggie Miller was the biggest nemesis of
18:25
the New York Knicks.
18:26
>> If he's not two, he's one A, let's put
18:28
it that way. So, what's your number six?
18:30
>> though. The Knicks beat him though.
18:31
>> All right. So, what's your number six?
18:34
>> All right. My number six, to steal a
18:35
quote from the the great Joe Benigno,
18:38
"Oh, the pain."
18:39
June 2nd, 1993.
18:42
Game five, Eastern Conference Finals.
18:45
New York Knicks versus Chicago Bulls.
18:49
Series tied two to two.
18:51
20 seconds left on the clock.
18:53
The Bulls lead 95-94.
18:56
Final five seconds. Ewing dishes the
18:59
ball to Charles Smith,
19:00
who in turn puts up four
19:04
squared-up shots to the basket.
19:06
>> Plenty of time on the shot clock, down
19:08
to 10.
19:09
Ewing for Smith.
19:11
SMITH.
19:17
>> AND CONTINUES TO miss on each shot.
19:21
Causing them to lose that game and go
19:23
down 3-2 in the series.
19:26
And that game went on to be known as the
19:29
Charles Smith Memorial.
19:31
>> I I felt so bad for Charles Smith
19:33
because you're right, we should have won
19:34
the game but at the same time it it was
19:36
against Michael Jordan and the Bulls but
19:37
I felt so bad for the guy. Yeah, but it
19:39
was Charles Smith but but still.
19:42
>> Listen, you win that game, you never
19:45
know man. You go up 3-2 on the Bulls,
19:47
you never [ __ ] know.
19:49
That's that game that game was like
19:52
game four
19:54
against the Spurs.
19:56
They miss that and the Spurs come back
19:58
and they they they win, right? And
20:00
they're tied 2-2.
20:01
That's a different series.
20:03
>> Let me ask you a question. We we've
20:05
we've seen all the bad [ __ ] already
20:07
that's been happening to the New York
20:08
Knicks. Now that finally something good
20:10
has happened, do we do we get like a
20:11
couple of good things in a row? Do we
20:12
get another championship? Do we start
20:14
having things go our way? We had that OG
20:15
tip-in that's to me you know, I said
20:17
before that that'll be number one in the
20:19
greatest New York sports moments of all
20:20
time but I'm hoping we get more great
20:22
Knicks moments now.
20:23
>> I feel like
20:26
they have to go back-to-back now because
20:31
it's only going to get harder now.
20:33
Giannis is now in Miami. Boston's going
20:35
to be better.
20:36
>> [ __ ] Giannis.
20:38
I feel like the curse has been You see
20:40
all these bad things? You see all these
20:42
bad things? Like the curse is lifted.
20:44
It's lifted. It's gone.
20:45
>> And don't don't sleep on Brooklyn, man.
20:46
Now we got Julius Randle.
20:47
>> Stop it. Stop it. I love Julius but stop
20:50
it.
20:50
>> The draft is tonight, too. So,
20:52
we'll see.
20:54
>> All right, so
20:56
let's get into uh number five now. We've
20:59
covered one half of the list. Let's get
21:00
into number five. Again, my list is an
21:02
epic blunder here and it's not something
21:05
that occurred on a field, on a court.
21:08
This is might be one of the biggest
21:09
blunders. I'm putting it at number five,
21:11
but we're going to go back to the New
21:12
York Jets. It'll only because I'm a huge
21:13
Jets fan and I they've caused me so much
21:15
misery over the years, just like the
21:16
Knicks.
21:17
But it's the New York Jets taking Kyle
21:20
Brady over Warren Sapp in the NFL draft.
21:24
>> Oh, wow. It's a shock.
21:27
>> With the ninth pick in the first round,
21:30
the New York Jets select tight end from
21:32
Penn State, Kyle Brady.
21:38
>> Now,
21:40
watching the NFL draft for me as a kid,
21:43
ever since I started following football,
21:44
is one of the greatest things that I do.
21:46
Every year, I sit down and I watch it.
21:47
It always used to be at Radio City Music
21:49
Hall in New York. I always wanted to go,
21:51
never got the chance. But every year
21:53
watching the New York Jets draft is like
21:55
something out of a freaking movie
21:58
because there's epic blunders after epic
22:00
blunders, surprises, trade-ups,
22:02
trade-downs. And this is not the first
22:04
draft pick that's going to be on my
22:05
list. Okay, we'll get to the next one
22:07
later. But Kyle Brady was on to do
22:10
nothing as a New York Jet, right? Came
22:12
out of Penn State, supposed to be a good
22:14
blocker, decent catching the football.
22:16
But then you have Warren Sapp who goes
22:17
on to become a one of the best defensive
22:19
tackles in the National Football League,
22:21
a Hall of Famer. The best He came up
22:23
with a three technique because of Warren
22:26
Sapp. Like he defined that position.
22:28
And imagine if Warren Sapp had been
22:30
drafted by the New York Jets, what that
22:31
team could have become because guess
22:33
what? After the fact,
22:35
Bill Parcells came in.
22:37
>> Well, I mean, look, if I knew this was
22:39
going to be listing bad draft picks, uh
22:42
we could do a whole pod on New Jersey
22:43
Nets and {slash} Brooklyn Nets draft
22:45
picks because I mean, you think the Jets
22:47
made bad picks?
22:50
Dude, I mean,
22:52
I
22:53
None of these teams make good picks,
22:54
man. The Knicks
22:54
>> There's there's also talk about the
22:55
Knicks picks also, man.
22:57
>> They're they're all They're all still
22:58
New York blunders. I mean, this is a big
23:00
blunder. You're taking one player over a
23:02
Hall of Fame player.
23:04
It's a blunder.
23:05
>> I mean, come on, man. You got The list
23:07
is long for that, man. The Nets took
23:09
what, Sam Bowie against the Michael
23:11
Jordan? Like, come on, man. Like
23:13
>> I got it, but you don't you don't see
23:15
that pick get played over and over and
23:17
over on SportsCenter. You don't see it
23:19
all the time every day ever since they
23:20
referenced the New York Jets. Anytime
23:22
they cover the draft, they always show
23:24
that pick. It's just a horrible moment
23:26
and this one more like I said I'll talk
23:27
about.
23:28
>> Was he a terrible player?
23:30
>> Yeah, he didn't do anything. He was he
23:32
never got a second contract with the New
23:34
York Jets, let's put it that way. So,
23:36
what is your number five moment?
23:37
>> All right, so my number five is an
23:39
actual sports moment. Um
23:42
September 30th, 2007.
23:45
Mets-Marlins
23:47
last game of the season.
23:50
Um
23:51
it's uh final game of the season, Tom
23:53
Glavine on the mound, Mets need to win
23:55
to get in.
23:57
He continues to implode
24:00
in the first inning and let up [ __ ]
24:02
seven runs in the first inning. Seven
24:05
runs and five hits and I'm I'm there.
24:06
Last game of the season, I'm there,
24:08
[ __ ] losing my [ __ ] Like, you I
24:10
couldn't believe they didn't have Pedro
24:11
warming up in the [ __ ] bullpen just
24:13
on standby just in case somebody
24:15
imploded. They didn't have anybody
24:16
ready.
24:17
It was the most ridiculous and it's the
24:19
[ __ ] Marlins. They go on to lose
24:22
eight to [ __ ] one.
24:25
And
24:27
that concluded the one of the most epic
24:30
collapses in MLB history.
24:32
>> But, Tom Glavine is one of the worst
24:34
Mets of all time. Like, you expected so
24:36
much more out of Tom Glavine and he was
24:38
he he was like Frank Viola. Remember
24:40
Frank Viola? Same thing. Awesome before
24:42
he on Queens, phenomenal, comes to the
24:44
Mets, he was terrible.
24:45
>> No, his first year on the Mets uh Viola
24:48
was like a 20-game winner. The first
24:49
season
24:50
>> He won 20 games, but if you watch those
24:51
games, he was always in trouble, never
24:54
pitched well. It was wasn't the same
24:55
player.
24:56
>> So, then Tom Glavine wasn't terrible for
24:58
the Mets, but he wasn't the same guy he
25:00
was in Atlanta. But on the flip side,
25:04
when he was in Atlanta,
25:06
I don't know if you remember this, but
25:07
the the umpires used to call the [ __ ]
25:09
strikes like a foot outside back in the
25:11
day.
25:12
And they weren't doing that. Once he got
25:14
to the Mets, they weren't [ __ ]
25:15
calling that [ __ ] which is like
25:17
phenomenal. When he was on the Braves,
25:18
they were calling it. They're not
25:19
calling it when he's on the Mets.
25:20
>> It's every generation of It's every
25:23
generation of Mets signing a big name
25:25
pitcher. You ready?
25:27
I'm going to go with the first Frank
25:29
Viola, Tom Glavine, Mike [ __ ]
25:31
Hampton. Same [ __ ]
25:33
>> Mike Hampton was
25:34
>> Same [ __ ]
25:35
>> No.
25:35
>> He was He He was He He came to the Mets
25:37
He He wasn't dominant like he was, you
25:39
know, when he was with the What was it?
25:40
Colorado where he was where where where
25:42
he was?
25:42
>> He went to Colorado. That's the thing.
25:44
He He was dominant and he was great in
25:46
the playoffs in 2000, and then he
25:47
bounced and went to Colorado. I mean, if
25:49
you want Pedro
25:51
was hurt.
25:52
>> He's the only guy.
25:52
>> [ __ ]
25:53
>> But
25:55
>> Uh Scherzer, Verlander, you name it.
25:58
They
25:58
>> But it's later. That's way later on.
26:00
>> Dave Magadan? Dave Magadan?
26:02
>> Garbage. Garbage.
26:03
Dude, Pedro Martinez
26:06
was at the end of his career. He didn't
26:07
He didn't have the get-go. But let me
26:09
tell you something. Pedro Martinez is
26:10
the greatest pitcher of all time in my
26:12
>> Yeah, makes sense.
26:12
>> I was feverish. Not just because
26:15
Not just because he the ERA Look at
26:18
Pedro's ERA rate throughout his career.
26:20
Even at the end of his [ __ ] career,
26:21
the guy is just the mentality.
26:24
>> Pedro when he came to the Mets that
26:25
first year he was with the Mets, he was
26:27
great. He just got hurt.
26:29
He was great. He was great for the Mets.
26:30
I don't think he was bad. It's just like
26:32
They just don't They don't have luck.
26:35
They sign these guys, they just don't
26:36
like Johan comes out, [ __ ] awesome
26:38
the first year, throws a no-hitter, he
26:39
[ __ ] he's done for the rest of his
26:40
career. He's done.
26:41
>> I know that that's another guy. They
26:43
line them up. Mets go out and get a big
26:45
name The only guy the Mets went to go
26:46
out and actually really perform was Al
26:48
Leiter. But Al Leiter wasn't the big
26:49
star name, but he was a really good
26:51
pitcher.
26:51
>> Al Leiter was great, man. Aliter was
26:53
awesome. Same
26:54
>> I said he was the only guy that he
26:56
wasn't like a superstar like these other
26:57
guys, but he was a really good pitcher.
26:58
>> He was a solid two. He wasn't an ace. He
27:01
was a solid two.
27:03
>> he came to the Mets and became a
27:05
superstar in my opinion. That's how good
27:06
he was. Let's get to number four. The
27:08
number four, I'm sticking with the New
27:10
York Mets and it's again another off the
27:12
field
27:13
blunder. But this is a big one. It's
27:14
still haunting to the Mets to this day
27:16
and now they celebrate this day.
27:17
>> Can I guess what it is? Can I guess?
27:18
>> Yeah, go for it. What do you think?
27:20
>> Is it the Bobby Ojeda Bobby Ojeda with
27:23
the [ __ ] the the the hedge trimmer or
27:24
whatever the [ __ ] it was?
27:26
>> No. We could I didn't even think of
27:27
that. It's the
27:30
It's the right name, but it's the wrong
27:31
Bobby. It's the Bobby Bonilla contract
27:34
blunder.
27:35
The Wilpons
27:37
blundering the Bobby Bonilla contract
27:40
and now the Mets are still paying $1
27:42
million every year.
27:43
>> I think they could suit him up. They
27:44
they could use him right now.
27:48
>> You want to talk about another horrible
27:50
signing? Bobby Bonilla. For the I
27:52
remember his first game he had two two
27:53
home runs. I was like, "Oh my god, the
27:55
Mets are going to be awesome." And then
27:56
he's utter trash after that. And the
27:57
Mets are still The Mets are still
27:58
paying.
27:59
>> first time they signed him. They're
28:01
paying him on the second time they
28:03
[ __ ] signed him.
28:04
>> That's even worse.
28:06
>> [ __ ] up the first one, they [ __ ] up,
28:07
they signed him, and then they're going
28:08
to go back and sign him again and pay
28:10
him for the rest of his life?
28:11
What the [ __ ] is wrong with this team,
28:12
man?
28:13
>> Those are the Wilpons, but they were the
28:14
worst owners in I want to say I want to
28:17
say in sports, right?
28:18
They I don't think there's anybody worse
28:20
than That's a podcast we could do is the
28:21
top 10 worst owners in sports. We could
28:24
do that one one day.
28:25
>> Oh, yeah.
28:26
>> What's number four? What's your number
28:28
four?
28:29
>> All right, sticking with the those good
28:31
old New York Mets cuz they're they're
28:34
So, we did we did uh we did '06.
28:37
We did '07. That was number five.
28:40
'06 was my number two.
28:41
But number four is '08.
28:44
Final game of the season, final game at
28:47
Shea Stadium, and I was there once again
28:50
to witness
28:52
the Mets
28:54
collapsing once again. Needing to win on
28:57
the last game of the season to force a
28:59
play-in game for the playoffs.
29:02
They lose again to the lowly [ __ ]
29:04
Marlins 4-2 on the last game of the
29:07
season to close out Shea Stadium in epic
29:10
fashion. The most This And then what
29:12
even pissed me off even more
29:14
is that the Phillies had to win so that
29:17
the Mets were eliminated. Then the
29:19
Phillies, of course, won, and it was
29:21
worse because of the [ __ ] Phillies. I
29:23
hate the Phillies. I can't stand the
29:24
Phillies. Phillies win, they get into
29:26
the [ __ ] World Series that year.
29:28
[ __ ] Mets.
29:30
Unbelievable.
29:32
>> By the way, so everybody out there
29:33
listening, we both went to college in
29:34
Philadelphia, so maybe you understand a
29:37
little bit more why he hates
29:39
the Phillies. All right, so we're
29:40
getting into the top three now, believe
29:41
it or not. So to me, this is one that I
29:43
don't know if it made your list. We only
29:45
have three spots to go, but this is
29:46
another pivotal New York Knicks moment
29:48
where I thought they were going to We
29:49
were really good team
29:51
going to go through the playoffs,
29:52
getting ready to play the Bulls, and
29:55
in 1997
29:58
PJ Brown and Miami Heat PJ Brown throws
30:02
Charlie Ward during a free throw towards
30:05
the end of that game,
30:06
and Patrick Ewing and Larry Johnson
30:09
leave the bench.
30:10
>> Tim Hardaway at the line. Watch PJ Brown
30:12
and Charlie Ward. Pete PJ later on said
30:14
he thought Ward was going for his knees.
30:16
So I'm going to throw him on the floor
30:18
on top of photographers.
30:20
Could you imagine if Eugene Amos was at
30:22
the bottom of this pile? 1-800 lawyers,
30:25
hello.
30:26
Pat Riley, Jeff Van Gundy getting
30:28
involved, making sure no one's going to
30:30
get suspended for the next game.
30:32
>> And unfortunately, they got suspended.
30:34
Patrick Ewing got suspended for game
30:36
six. Larry Johnson got suspended for
30:38
game seven, and the Knicks go on to lose
30:40
both of those games. It cost them the
30:43
series and it this is the year the Bulls
30:45
were won 70 games, okay?
30:47
One one of the best teams in NBA
30:49
history, but if you go back there in the
30:50
regular season, the Knicks and the Bulls
30:51
played four times. The Knicks won two
30:54
and the Bulls won two. I said to this
30:56
day that if the Knicks won that Miami
30:58
series, they had a real good shot of
31:00
beating the Bulls that year because they
31:02
played real tough four close games and
31:05
[ __ ] P.J. Brown throws Charlie Ward
31:09
and you know we all we all know what
31:10
happens
31:11
after that, but I will say this, Miami
31:13
went on to win that series and get swept
31:15
by the Bulls in the Eastern Conference
31:17
Finals, but that to me still to this day
31:19
really pisses me off.
31:21
>> Yeah, P.J. Brown is a dirty player.
31:24
Um
31:25
but that you know what, it just it goes
31:27
to show you, man.
31:28
Over the years the Knicks have just not
31:30
been the friends of the officials of the
31:32
NBA.
31:34
Uh I mean like I'm not a Knicks fan, but
31:36
they there is some bias. There's
31:38
definitely some bias.
31:39
>> And do you think it's because Ewing the
31:41
the whole controversy about the envelope
31:43
being cold and them getting Patrick
31:45
Ewing? Do you think maybe that has
31:46
anything to do with it? They said, you
31:47
know what, let's [ __ ] the Knicks for the
31:49
next 20 to 30 years.
31:51
I'm just saying.
31:53
>> I mean like how about how about
31:54
how about [ __ ] San Antonio getting
31:56
[ __ ] David Robinson, Tim Duncan and
31:58
then [ __ ] Wendy
32:00
>> Are you kidding me, dude?
32:01
>> Exactly. Same thing. Well, the year
32:03
before Tim Duncan David Robinson got
32:05
hurt that year, so he was out basically
32:08
the whole year and they were horrible
32:09
and then they got the number one pick
32:10
and they drafted Tim Duncan, fine.
32:12
I agree with you though, I think a part
32:14
of it plays into that, but what's your
32:15
number three?
32:17
>> All right,
32:18
uh we're going to go
32:21
November
32:23
4th, 2001.
32:25
Post 9/11.
32:28
We're in a post 9/11 world, right?
32:31
Game seven of the World Series,
32:32
Diamondbacks versus the Yankees.
32:34
Right?
32:36
You got the Yankees winning the game two
32:39
to one.
32:41
We got bottom of the ninth in Arizona.
32:46
Diamondbacks get a lead off hit from
32:49
Mark Grace. Gets on base.
32:51
They proceed to get the next guy on.
32:54
And then
32:56
I believe somebody bunted them over and
32:57
it was second and third. And Tony Womack
33:01
comes up.
33:02
And at up to this point Mariano Rivera
33:05
was flawless in post season history.
33:08
Flawless. And it's Mariano, okay?
33:13
He lets up a base hit to Tony freaking
33:15
Womack.
33:17
Diamondbacks tie that game.
33:19
Okay?
33:21
Next guy up, I believe gets hit by a
33:23
pitch. They load the bases. Luis
33:25
Gonzalez comes up. Now you got Tim
33:27
McCarver, the legendary Tim McCarver on
33:29
the call.
33:30
And the Yanks bring in the infield. And
33:32
Tim McCarver goes, "I don't know if
33:34
that's the right decision, especially
33:36
with Mariano on the mound."
33:38
This is word for word what he says.
33:40
He's the type of the way he pitches, he
33:43
busts guys in with that cutter. I spec-
33:46
You go I think he said especially
33:47
lefties. And he's like they tend to hit
33:49
these bloop singles off of him.
33:53
Pitches to Luis Gonzalez. I think it was
33:54
a 1-0 count. Luis Gonzalez saws off a
33:58
pitch from Mariano.
33:59
Flares it just over the head of Derek
34:02
Jeter. Winning run comes in.
34:05
>> 2-2 bottom of the ninth.
34:07
Game seven of the World Series. Bases
34:09
loaded.
34:14
FLOATER! CENTER FIELD! THE DIAMONDBACKS
34:18
ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!
34:20
>> AND the Diamondbacks win the World
34:21
Series. Now, if the Yankees had won,
34:24
that would have been four straight.
34:26
You're talking about dynasties. That
34:28
game
34:29
This is This is why I have it so high,
34:31
number three. That game for me
34:34
ended that Yankee dynasty run.
34:36
>> Let me ask you a question. Who's the
34:38
blunder on? Joe Joe Torre or you saying
34:40
it's Mariano?
34:42
>> No, it's Mariano.
34:44
Dude, I got to
34:45
>> know. I feel like it should be I I feel
34:47
like it should be on Joe Torre.
34:49
Well, if you get to move the infield in
34:50
or anything
34:51
>> You got the Oh, the infield. Uh
34:54
Well, it Listen, it was only one out.
34:56
There's only one out.
34:57
>> Yeah, but so if he jams in and they put
34:58
the infield at regular depth and Jeter
35:00
catches the ball, everybody stays and
35:02
now Mariano has has a chance to face a
35:04
batter with two out or you know, you can
35:06
get out any base.
35:08
>> I mean, Luis Gonzalez I think at that
35:09
point is Chris still fast runner, right?
35:12
He hits the ground ball There's not
35:13
There There might be a chance he legs
35:15
that out and they don't and they don't
35:16
get the double play.
35:18
So, if you have to you have to go
35:19
infield in there.
35:21
>> I don't know, man. To me to me I'm I'm
35:23
I'm not going to blame Mariano Rivera
35:25
for that one. I'll blame Joe Torre. I
35:27
get what you're saying. The guy is you
35:29
know, the greatest of all time when it
35:30
comes to closers. He's probably top
35:32
what? 10 pitchers of all time I would
35:34
say. You know, that's debatable. All
35:36
right, so this again, number two is a
35:39
big moment in New York Jets history that
35:41
people don't talk about enough, but for
35:42
me, you know, this is 1983.
35:46
And when we talk about a draft class
35:48
that has
35:50
multiple Hall of Famers at the
35:51
quarterback position,
35:53
it's to me that this should This should
35:56
be number one on any Jets fans
35:58
>> God.
35:59
>> list. There's no question in my mind
36:01
because you're skipping over a
36:02
generational player and a generational
36:04
talent at that time and I still today is
36:07
the greatest passer in NFL history. He
36:10
may not be the greatest quarterback, but
36:11
the greatest thrower of the football to
36:14
this day in NFL history and this number
36:17
two is the New York Jets drafting Ken
36:19
O'Brien over Dan Marino.
36:21
>> Jets take the first round selection,
36:24
quarterback,
36:27
Ken O'Brien of California Davis.
36:31
>> In 1983, like
36:33
Dan Marino coming out of Pitt
36:35
everybody thought was the man. He ends
36:38
up going after obviously John Elway, Jim
36:41
Kelly, and then Ken O'Brien.
36:44
He goes after to the Dolphins. But if
36:46
you go look at back coming into that
36:48
draft, everybody knew John Elway was
36:49
going to go number one, but there was
36:51
questions where he was going to play
36:53
baseball and that's why, you know, the
36:54
Broncos traded with the Colts and got
36:57
that pick. But Dan Marino coming in, I
36:59
think I thought everybody for the most
37:01
part thought Dan Marino was the best
37:03
quarterback in that draft. And for the
37:04
New York Jets
37:06
to bypass him and take Ken O'Brien, it's
37:10
it's a disgrace. I don't know how to
37:12
I'm not I'm not going to kill Ken
37:13
O'Brien. He did he he had a solid career
37:15
for the New York Jets, didn't have an
37:16
offensive line, never really got a
37:18
chance. Good thrower of the football,
37:20
don't get me wrong. He had some weapons
37:21
on at the receiver position, but when
37:23
you have Dan Marino out there who's gone
37:25
on to do
37:27
so many things in the NFL, holds so many
37:28
passing records at that point. I
37:30
remember watching games where he'd be
37:31
throwing for 400 and change against Drew
37:33
Bledsoe who's throwing for 400 and
37:35
change, doing things that the
37:37
quarterbacks are doing now in 2026 that
37:39
that you know, he was doing back in the
37:41
1980s and early 90s. So
37:43
it's an epic blunder. I had to put it at
37:45
number two and
37:46
only thing I put at number one was
37:48
Dwayne's finger roll because it caused
37:49
me so much freaking misery. So that is
37:52
my list. Dan Marino not coming to the
37:54
New York Jets.
37:55
>> So, let me comment on that. Marino
37:58
coming out in '83.
38:01
I mean, I've seen so many interviews on
38:02
this, but he was the most polished
38:04
passer
38:06
to come out of college.
38:07
This guy he he he starts he started
38:10
halfway through the season in '83. In
38:12
'84 takes him to the [ __ ] well,
38:14
again, to the Super Bowl. But um
38:19
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I didn't even think
38:21
of of being a blunder like that cuz like
38:23
we were talking about before.
38:24
>> for
38:25
>> You can have a podcast on just draft
38:27
pick blunders because
38:29
all these teams, be it the the Knicks,
38:33
the Nets, the the Rangers.
38:36
>> The way I look at this, you talked about
38:37
it before how it changed the Yankees
38:39
fortunes to when Mariano gave up that
38:41
hit.
38:42
>> Yeah.
38:42
>> That literally set the Jets back another
38:45
10 years. That's how I look at it. Like
38:47
it just they they made such a mistake
38:50
that it sent the franchise back another
38:52
years. And then what did we go through
38:54
after it? Went through the [ __ ] fake
38:55
spike. Went through the butt fumble we
38:56
covered. There's so many other bad
38:57
moments because of that pick. Jets draft
39:00
Dan Marino, God knows what happens.
39:02
Maybe you get to the Jets to Super Bowl.
39:03
We don't know. That's why I had to put
39:04
it on the list.
39:05
>> Yeah.
39:06
And the Jets didn't have like a bad
39:07
team.
39:09
Now that weapons are off to his credit,
39:11
Ken O'Brien wasn't terrible. He was a
39:12
good, you know, he's a good passer.
39:14
>> No, but he's not Dan Marino. Stop it.
39:16
He's not He's not Dan Marino. Yeah, he's
39:17
not Dan Marino.
39:18
So we we covered your number two. So
39:20
what is your number one moment? We said
39:22
number one is Ewing's finger roll. So
39:23
this is it. Your number one. What is it?
39:25
>> I I can't believe you you forgot this.
39:28
And as a Mets fan, 2004 ALCS
39:33
collapse by the New York Yankees.
39:36
>> 1918 season.
39:39
And here it is. Ground ball to second.
39:41
Race. The Boston Red Sox have won the
39:44
pennant.
39:46
>> They're up three games to none on the
39:48
Boston Red Sox. Okay. Commandingly.
39:52
Commandingly
39:54
in the series.
39:56
And they proceed to lose
39:58
four straight games. It's never been
40:01
done before. It's never going to happen
40:03
again. They lost four straight games to
40:07
the Boston Red Sox. And the Boston Red
40:09
Sox went on and won a World Series for
40:12
the first time
40:14
in like God knows how long. It was like
40:16
what, 70 something years, whatever it
40:18
was.
40:19
>> And they broke the curse.
40:20
>> Seems. And it broke the curse, the curse
40:21
of the Bambino. That to me
40:24
is the ultimate
40:27
collapse, the ultimate blunder.
40:31
It's the ultimate uh faux pas
40:34
for for sports. It's how do you let this
40:37
team that you've dominated for decades,
40:40
you've kept them like you've stepped on
40:41
them constantly, and they finally come
40:44
through?
40:45
And
40:46
you know, it was
40:49
you know, you know, like they just they
40:51
were just defeated. And then just to
40:53
watch all the Boston fans in New York
40:56
celebrating was just like unbelievable.
40:58
It was just like something you'll never
41:00
see again.
41:01
>> For me, you know what it is? It's when
41:03
you're not a fan of a team and they
41:04
something like that happens. I remember
41:06
rooting for the Red Sox cuz I don't like
41:08
the Yankees. I'm a Mets fan, so like I
41:09
don't I don't I never I usually don't
41:11
root against the Yankees, but
41:13
>> I'll tell you what it was about these
41:15
about the Yankees and and
41:17
the those late '90s Yankees, early 2000s
41:21
Yankees, right?
41:22
It's not that you hated the Yankees.
41:25
It's you hated the Yankee fan.
41:27
The they're just the bragging and the
41:30
talking of the trash and oh, your team
41:32
well, what you win? Oh, 1969, 1986. Oh,
41:35
we got 27 rings. Like, dude, come on.
41:40
I mean, the Mets might be bad, but
41:41
they're not 2004 ALCS collapse bad,
41:44
okay?
41:45
That will always be number one for me.
41:47
>> Because they have 27 World Series,
41:50
because they have all that, they could
41:51
they could, you know, laugh about it
41:53
now. But at the end of the day, like,
41:55
you know what? They let the cat out of
41:58
the bag. They let the, you know, they
41:59
let that happen.
42:00
>> a couple. Yeah.
42:02
>> That's why that's why I say to you is
42:04
like with the Knicks, especially, same
42:06
kind of moment. The Knicks have always
42:07
been down. They've always been down.
42:08
Now, all of a sudden, they got one. So,
