- 0:11Speaker 1: Joy Taylor. What a win for the New York Knicks
- 0:14Speaker 1: Game one of the NBA Finals, absolutely snatching home court
- 0:18Speaker 1: advantage from the Spurs. They were down fourteen points in
- 0:21Speaker 1: the second half and the rested Knicks they stormback at
- 0:26Speaker 1: the Frost Bank Center, closing out the game on a
- 0:29Speaker 1: eleven to zero run, shocking Spurs one oh five ninety five.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson proved that he is where he is supposed
- 0:36Speaker 1: to be, thirteen of his thirty points in the deep
- 0:40Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and Webby you know. He posted
- 0:43Speaker 1: twenty six points twelve rebounds in his Finals debut, but
- 0:46Speaker 1: the New York defense rattled him and he was six
- 0:49Speaker 1: for twenty one on the night from the field, Nick's
- 0:53Speaker 1: head coach Mike Brown talked about Jalen Brunson and he
- 0:58Speaker 1: said he's a gamer. He's at game man and the
- 1:00Speaker 1: biggest moments he shows up. That's what MVPs are supposed
- 1:03Speaker 1: to do. We just stayed the course. I agree with
- 1:07Speaker 1: Mike Brown. Jalen Brunson just he just continues to show up.
- 1:12Speaker 1: He is absolutely on a tear this postseason. It feels
- 1:16Speaker 1: like they stumbled in the first round of the playoffs
- 1:20Speaker 1: and they have never looked back like It's just been
- 1:23Speaker 1: spectacular to watch him, even when they stumbled throughout the game.
- 1:28Speaker 1: He just never loses his confidence and it's really really
- 1:31Speaker 1: incredible to watch. Now. Listen, the Spurs are not dead.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Wemby said that they let that go. Maybe it's because
- 1:38Speaker 1: they are, you know, tired. They had a long series
- 1:42Speaker 1: with Oka. See the Knicks are arrested. I actually thought
- 1:44Speaker 1: that would mean that the Knicks would come out looking
- 1:46Speaker 1: little ROSSI and I suppose that they did. But there
- 1:49Speaker 1: you know, their resilience and I guess some of their experience.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Not in the finals obviously, but overall the team together
- 1:56Speaker 1: came through in bouncing back. So I I think it's
- 2:00Speaker 1: incredible that the Knicks of Stone home court advantage puts
- 2:03Speaker 1: all the pressure on the young Wemby and the San
- 2:06Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs, and this is going to be a big
- 2:10Speaker 1: one on Friday nights. You do not want to lose
- 2:13Speaker 1: all momentum and put yourself in backs against the wall.
- 2:17Speaker 1: If you're the Spurs, going back to Madison Square Garden,
- 2:20Speaker 1: which is going to be absolutely insane. So what an
- 2:23Speaker 1: incredible game one for us. The Chicago Bears have finally
- 2:28Speaker 1: broken the EA sports barrier, so it is happening. Caleb
- 2:34Speaker 1: Williams will grace the cover of Madden NFL twenty seven.
- 2:38Speaker 1: It's a historic highlight for the franchise and the thirty
- 2:40Speaker 1: plus years of this video game's existence, not a single
- 2:44Speaker 1: Chicago Bear has ever covered it. He was incredible this season.
- 2:49Speaker 1: After kind of a rocky start, he tied the second
- 2:53Speaker 1: most fourth quarter comeback wins in NFL history with seven,
- 2:57Speaker 1: and he capped it off with the legendary walkoff forty
- 3:00Speaker 1: six yard overtime touchdown bomb to DJ Moore. Just had
- 3:03Speaker 1: an incredibly exciting season and validated all the questions about
- 3:08Speaker 1: we had about him. Well I didn't have about him,
- 3:10Speaker 1: but some people had about him, about him being able
- 3:13Speaker 1: to be a franchise quarterback. So I love this for him,
- 3:15Speaker 1: he said. When I received the call from Madden, it
- 3:17Speaker 1: was like my childhood dream was coming true. Being on
- 3:19Speaker 1: the cover of Madden NFL twenty seven is a full
- 3:22Speaker 1: circle moment. I grew up playing Madden in imagining what
- 3:25Speaker 1: it would be like I'm looking forward to getting my
- 3:27Speaker 1: raking up to a ninety nine by the end of
- 3:29Speaker 1: this season. Look, I don't really believe in the Madden Curse.
- 3:35Speaker 1: It's an incredible honor to be on the cover of
- 3:38Speaker 1: this especially you know, we know what Madden means to
- 3:41Speaker 1: the game. You've had sakuon Barkley last year, Christian McCaffrey,
- 3:46Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I think these guys have shown that the
- 3:51Speaker 1: curse is not that serious as the City boar. I
- 3:56Speaker 1: do love the confidence that Kayleb Williams has emerged with
- 3:59Speaker 1: after this season, and I love that he is doing
- 4:01Speaker 1: the attention that I fully think he deserves, and this
- 4:06Speaker 1: is really cool. So I think it's fine. I think
- 4:08Speaker 1: it's a good choice. I am one of those people
- 4:11Speaker 1: that believes in cornerstone franchises in the NFL, but I
- 4:14Speaker 1: do and in sports, and I think that when they
- 4:17Speaker 1: are successful, the league is better. It's why I love
- 4:19Speaker 1: the Nicks being in the finals. However, I do want
- 4:24Speaker 1: them to evolve, and I think Kaylab Williams is a
- 4:27Speaker 1: choice for the Bears brings them into the modern NFL.
- 4:30Speaker 1: It takes them away from constantly focusing on running the
- 4:33Speaker 1: ball and defense like they're now able to compete at
- 4:37Speaker 1: a high level with a offensive team and a quarterback
- 4:41Speaker 1: that is exciting and is developing and really coming into
- 4:44Speaker 1: his home in the NFL. So love that he is
- 4:47Speaker 1: getting this attention. For more on this than other top
