- 0:00If it is the worldwide sports radio, network radio.
- 0:05Network It has been ugly so far in April for both the Mets and
- 0:09Yankees, as both teams got swept over the weekend.
- 0:12And only by the grace of a miserable Angels bullpen did the
- 0:16Yankees get a walk off win Monday night after Trent Grisham
- 0:19tied it with A2 run blast in the ninth, his second of the game.
- 0:23Judge also Homer twice in their win, bailing out a bad pen.
- 0:27The Mets on the other hand did lose their six straight, getting
- 0:30shut out by the Dodgers in LA to start a tough week on the road
- 0:34against the back-to-back World Series champs and last year's 92
- 0:37win Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
- 0:40Errol Q and speedy breakdown. Just what is going wrong for the
- 0:43revamped roster in Queens and the run it back roster in the
- 0:47Bronx tonight? And before we find out what's
- 0:51that smell and cover the Islanders completing their
- 0:54collapse and missing the playoffs entirely, we head to
- 0:57Augusta to breakdown Rory McIlroy epic back-to-back
- 1:01Masters championship win on another jam packed, brand
- 1:05spanking new live episode of the tri-state area's fastest growing
- 1:11show. This is New York's sports
- 1:14loudmouth. The Mets lose their star play.
- 1:18They lose their star closer. The Mets are.
- 1:20In a bad. Spot right now I've.
- 1:28Never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics?
- 1:30We're going to be. Looking at Aaron.
- 1:31Judge. And saying that he.
- 1:32Can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
- 1:35I played 82 games. You don't see the fun doing
- 1:38that, but Jack Hughes did after getting his teeth knocked out to
- 1:41play every single shift he got back in the game.
- 1:57Take it back, this kid. Go to the best defense and I'm
- 2:01talking to myself. At night because I can't go back
- 2:13and forth to my mind behind the scene.
- 2:42Hello, Hello. You're listening to the New York
- 2:45sports loudmouth. We are back ladies and gentlemen
- 2:53for a new show of the New York sports loudmouth.
- 2:59My name is Errol Marx and my Co host ex New York Jet Quinton
- 3:04Couples and the guy that wonders where where he is 90% of the
- 3:09time. Speedy Speedy executive
- 3:13producer, Mr. Aaron Fish, fisherman on the back end, Mr.
- 3:17NR Hour Niffin or PR manager. Go to a website at
- 3:21www.worldwidesportsradio.com. Check out all our shows
- 3:27throughout the week, including New York sports loudmouth every

- 3:33All you have to do to tune in and check out our local listings
- 3:35for all our shows is go to our website at
- 3:37www.worldwidesportsradio.com. I I just want to say something
- 3:42before the show and Speedy has now moved to the production end
- 3:47of the show. We've moved Tommy to another
- 3:49position. I told Speedy to make sure the
- 3:53video would go on. He said I got it, I got it.
- 3:56He always thinks he got it, but he doesn't listen to me when I
- 4:00tell him. You think you always got it?
- 4:02And 90% of the time, like Mikey C thinks he's 90% right.
- 4:07Speedy is 90% wrong. So like to apologize, but it
- 4:11just seems like it's like maybe he should eat a Twix or a cake
- 4:15cat. You ever see those commercials?
- 4:16Maybe that'll wake him up. Maybe that'll bring him to life
- 4:20and he'll understand where he's at, but 90% of the times I
- 4:24wonder if Speedy really knows where he's at.
- 4:27Nevertheless, we have a great show lined up for you.
- 4:29But before we get into it, I have had an interesting week.
- 4:33Now, if anybody knows what I've been dealing with, number one,
- 4:37I've been dealing with medical issues and one of them is kidney
- 4:42stones. It's the worst thing.
- 4:43I know. Everybody out there says, oh,
- 4:45kidney stones aren't that bad. Or some guys, women have said
- 4:49that a lot of guys are weenies and they can't handle kidney
- 4:51stones. Let them try giving birth.
- 4:54Now, I'm not saying I want to be the first man out there to give
- 4:59birth, but I can tell you this right now, when you go to the
- 5:02hospital, you're rushed to the hospital and you have to deal
- 5:04with kidney stones. They're moving and you're
- 5:08feeling it. It is the worst feeling in the
- 5:10world. I can't forget the first time I
- 5:14had kidney stones and I was wondering.
- 5:15I woke up. I thought I was having back
- 5:17spasms. It felt like a Charley horse in
- 5:20my kidneys. And then I get rushed to the
- 5:22hospital and I'm practically crawling into the hospital and
- 5:26I'll never forget it. They rolled me into the
- 5:28hospital. I'm like screaming at the nurses
- 5:31and the doctors that were standing out there and I was
- 5:33telling them get me some morphine.
- 5:35I'm going to kill myself. It is the worst feeling in the
- 5:38world. So I've been dealing with that
- 5:41and then I find out recently that I've diverticulitis and
- 5:44this is very genetic. So for all the fans out there,
- 5:47why are you getting these things?
- 5:49Well, genetically, my mom has it, my uncle has it, my
- 5:53brother's had it. So I get diverticulitis.
- 5:56So it's, it's never fun to feel and, and deal with all these
- 6:02medical issues. And when you have
- 6:03diverticulitis, it, the one thing I can tell you is you
- 6:06cramp, you cramp all over your body.
- 6:08Your body hurts and you can't eat certain things because if he
- 6:13eats, just like when you have kidney stones, you can't, you
- 6:16have to stay away from cheese because a calcium could cause
- 6:20that. You know that feeling in your
- 6:22body or the movement. And and I work out a lot.
- 6:25So there was some conversations with the doctors telling me that
- 6:31the reason why these stones are dropping is because I'm not
- 6:34drinking enough enough water and I'm running a lot.
- 6:38I'm, I'm doing some cardio and cardio dehydrates you faster.
- 6:42And if there's no water, it can I guess it's good that the, the,
- 6:47the stones are moving, but it moves at the worst times.
- 6:51Usually when I have these, these feelings and, and feeling sick,
- 6:55I'm usually sleeping. Could you imagine waking up and
- 6:59and feeling something get you up, make you jump out of bed and
- 7:04then slowly but surely it starts to hit you worse and worse and
- 7:07worse as it falls down And a small little tube guys, this
- 7:11tube. Now most of these rocks are 4
- 7:14millimeters, 5mm, and they say that 90% of the time if you have
- 7:19a 3mm or 4mm millimeter rock falling, you'll pass it 90% of
- 7:26the time. How about passing a 6mm or a
- 7:295mm, which I've done in the past.
- 7:31So I've been dealing with four rocks, one in well, two in my
- 7:35left side and two in my right. Both on my right side popped
- 7:40out. One of them actually shot out.
- 7:42I don't want to tell you how it happened, but it shot out like a
- 7:45bullet and the other one kind of just broke apart when it passed
- 7:49through my bladder. And the other two, I don't know
- 7:52what's going on with them. One of them fell the other day
- 7:55and I was dealing. I was probably the worst feeling
- 7:57out of all the rocks. Could you imagine passing A6 and
- 7:59A5? And those didn't hurt you as
- 8:01much as the four I was. I was throwing up all over the
- 8:05place. So it's not a, it's not a good
- 8:07feeling. I wouldn't advise anybody or
- 8:10advise anybody to, well, the best way of staying away from
- 8:14kidney stones is unless it's genetic, stay away from calcium.
- 8:18Don't drink, don't eat a lot of cheese and drink a lot of water.
- 8:21Drink a lot of water and electrolytes if you want to stay
- 8:24away from kidney stones. So I've been dealing with that
- 8:27and then diverticulitis runs in the family.
- 8:28So not a, not a feeling that I would tell anybody.
- 8:32And and that's another thing, if you don't take care of
- 8:34diverticulitis, it could cause a lot of problems in your
- 8:37intestine area. You might need surgery.
- 8:40So I'm trying to take care of myself, ladies and gentlemen,
- 8:42but I'm still here every single week entertaining you guys.
- 8:47Anyways, Quinton, I got a chance.
- 8:48And by the way, shout out to Nick Goody.
- 8:50Hung out with Nick Goody yesterday.
- 8:51He came out to New York taking care of some business.
- 8:54So shout out to the Goodster. And by the way, I'm making a new
- 8:57announcement. I will be doing a Yankee show
- 8:59moving forward with Nick Goody, and it's going to be called The
- 9:03Bronx Bomb Cast. It is going to.
- 9:06There it is. Quinton's playing with his
- 9:08Yankee hat. I've got a new one, right?
- 9:09Over here. But it's going to be called the
- 9:11Bronx Bomb cast. It's going to be all Yankees for
- 9:14an hour and a half. We're working on a start up
- 9:16date. But I promise you guys, all the
- 9:18Yankee fans, we're going to entertain you with Yankee
- 9:21baseball anyways. Quinton, how are you?
- 9:23I know you went to Jacksonville. Did you enjoy your time with
- 9:26your wife? No, I actually went to Texas.
- 9:29I was, yeah. We went out to Texas when our
- 9:32friends had a one year church anniversary.
- 9:35Shout out to Brandon and Lauren Freeman.
- 9:37Yeah, we did a we had a big, great time, man.
- 9:40We did a big lot of eating. So I'm feeling very huge coming
- 9:44back. I thought you said Jackson.
- 9:46No, no, no. Dallas, Dallas, Fort Worth, TX.
- 9:50See it tell you, it just tells you when we're interacting with
- 9:52each other and he's around a bunch of people.
- 9:54I could have sworn he said Jacksonville, but maybe I was
- 9:58wrong. Maybe it was what part of Texas?
- 10:01What part? Of Dallas Fort Worth.
- 10:02Dallas Fort Worth. Yeah, mostly Fort Worth, but
- 10:04Dallas, yeah. Dallas Fort Worth part.
- 10:06Yeah, man, I got to see a lot of people.
- 10:09Well, mainly them too, which we haven't seen them and in quite
- 10:13some time. It's been like another year or
- 10:15so. They they recently moved from
- 10:17Atlanta down to Dash Fort Worth to start the church and it was a
- 10:21big turn out. It was unbelievable experience
- 10:24man. So happy for them and I'm glad I
- 10:26was able to be a part of the one year celebration.
- 10:29But outside of eating and feeling overweight right now,
- 10:32man, I'm feeling good right now. You know, I want to tell you too
- 10:35much because you might start feeling yourself thinking you
- 10:37got a chance tonight. But.
- 10:38Feeling myself. I feel myself every single night
- 10:41before I go to bed just so for all the fans out there, I
- 10:45definitely don't. Want to know?
- 10:47The fans want to know a little bit about me.
- 10:49I enjoy myself. Who's not afraid?
- 10:51First of all, I'm a real man. Is not going to be afraid to
- 10:54tell everybody what they like to do on their spare time.
- 10:56I'm a real man. I'm a real man because I'm going
- 10:59to tell you what I do in my spare time and I'm not going to
- 11:02be afraid. By the way, I don't go in the
- 11:04bathtub with a rubber ducky. I don't do any of that stuff.
- 11:07That's a little weird, but you know when I when I go to bed.
- 11:10Your theft that weird. No, it's not.
- 11:12Who doesn't do that? Who?
- 11:14Doesn't get women and. I got a woman.
- 11:18I got a woman, But which? Is the craziest part about the.
- 11:20Well, I like to please myself too, man.
- 11:22I'm a man. I'm just saying, come on, what
- 11:26man doesn't like to do that anyways?
- 11:28Me. Well, there you go.
- 11:30I'm I'm starting to worry about you now.
- 11:32Q There you go. I mean, listen, pleasing is
- 11:38pleasing. At 8:20, we will be talking to
- 11:40former 13 year NBA center and current Monumental Monumental
- 11:45Sports NBA analyst Jason Smith. And Jason's never been on a
- 11:50show. I want to give a shout out to
- 11:51Nathan for hooking us up with Jason Smith.
- 11:54I know he's excited to come on a show and we're very excited to
- 11:57have him, but we got to get into some Yankees baseball because
- 12:01it's been absolutely horrible to watch.
- 12:03So is the Mets. For the first time in history,
- 12:06both New York baseball teams, the Yankees and the Mets are
- 12:10both endured 5 game losing streaks at the same time.
- 12:15The Yankees offense has struggled badly, hitting just
- 12:18two O 2 as a team this season and 113 against lefties.
- 12:24The Yankees were swept by the Rays, headlined by Jazz
- 12:28Chisholm's costly fielding blunder with the bases loaded
- 12:33and one out during the extra innings on Saturday, when he
- 12:38failed to turn a double play and allowed the winning run to
- 12:41score. Chisholm admitted to not knowing
- 12:45the rules of the double play, and Aaron Boone said that Jazz
- 12:51has to answer questions in a better way.
- 12:54The Mets were also swept by the Athletics and the offense.
- 12:59The offense has been not only a blunder, but a lot of woes for
- 13:02that offense have continued for them.
- 13:04Without Juan Soto, who's hurt? The Mets averaged just 240, two
- 13:102.5, seven runs per game with Soto hurt and are last in the
- 13:16National League in slug and percentage and have hit 1:45
- 13:20with two outs and and and runners in scoring position.
- 13:24Besides Francisco Alvarez and Louise Robert, all the Mets
- 13:29starting hitters have been batting and they're batting
- 13:32average under 250 and they're OPS under 700.
- 13:37Many Mets fans have already started to turn on Carlos
- 13:41Mendoza with this losing streak, especially with with his lineup
- 13:46decisions, but also his bullpen decisions after they blew three
- 13:51leads in the 7th inning, 7th inning or later.
- 13:55Now I know there's a lot of Met fans and I'm going to get into
- 13:58the Mets, but I got to get into the Yankees because the Yankees
- 14:00are. It's just silly what's going on
- 14:03with the Yankees. And you look at this team, the
- 14:06line up, we look up and down. No, they don't have a real
- 14:09shortstop. We all know that McMahon, he's
- 14:13up and he's down. We we all know he comes from the
- 14:15Colorado Rockies. He came to the Yankees, couldn't
- 14:18hit a lick, but he's got a great arm.
- 14:20He's got a a gun at third base. So they expected the defense to
- 14:24be there and it has been there. I'm not saying the blunder of
- 14:27the New York Yankees like it was last year early in the season
- 14:30with Volpe making all the mistakes that he's he was making
- 14:33and the Yankees like pushing and shoving Volpe on to the Yankee
- 14:36fans. They're not in that position
- 14:38this year. Their defense has been a lot
- 14:40better than it was last year, but it's not their defense.
- 14:43It's been their timely hitting. It's been a big problem for the
- 14:47New York Yankees. And everybody's going to say
- 14:48what what Chisholm did. That's a blunter.
- 14:51That's a bad defensive play. Chisholm is his own man.
- 14:55I, I look at Jazz Chisholm, he, he's, he's a guy that wants an 8
- 14:59year, $35 million contract. We all know what he asked and
- 15:03what he's been saying on many podcasts, what he thinks he's
- 15:06worth. We all know that Jazz Chisholm
- 15:09is not going to be a guy as far as the New York Yankees are
- 15:12concerned that is going to get paid in eight.
- 15:14We'll get an 8 year $35 million contract because as good as he
- 15:18is at second base is when he's probably one of the top five top
- 15:22six second baseman's in baseball with his power and in Yankee
- 15:27Stadium because his swing fits like a glove in Yankee Stadium.
- 15:32Will he do that if he goes to the race?
- 15:34Will he do that if he goes to the Cubs?
- 15:36The answer would be no because of the short porch and the way
- 15:40he likes to pull the ball. All right, and I'm I'll get into
- 15:43Jazz because Jazz's blunders move all the way back to last
- 15:48year in the All Star game, the three home runs and some of the
- 15:53outlandish outlandish things he said during the All Star break.
- 15:58Saying that the Yankees are arguably one of the best
- 16:00defensive teams in the American League when they in the
- 16:03second-half of the season, they were one of the worst and saying
- 16:07that the Yankees were the best team in the American League.
- 16:11And you can argue that in some parts of last year, especially
- 16:14in the second-half, they look like it, but the consistency has
- 16:18has been rotten for the New York Yankees.
- 16:22The fact here is going into that series against the Rays, the
- 16:25Rays were a really bad team, really bad.
- 16:30And the Rays offense, especially their lineup is not any good.
- 16:34Let's be honest. If you look at that team, look
- 16:36at the full talent on that team. Now the roster is not bad.
- 16:42I I'm not going to say that the the the Rays roster is bad.
- 16:47Their pitching staff is always good.
- 16:49They always have a good farm system.
- 16:51They call these guys up. They don't last that long.
- 16:54They don't last long because when they become arbitrated or
- 16:59they are looking for a long term deal, what does the Rays usually
- 17:02do? Ask Tyler Glass now they move
- 17:04them. They get as much as he possibly
- 17:06can back from another organization.
- 17:09They RIP off organizations. They're one of the best in the
- 17:13business when it comes to having talent and then moving talent at
- 17:17the right time and bringing in talent that transitions into big
- 17:22pieces of that organization for the long for the long haul.
- 17:28But the problem right now is, is as bad as the Yankees have
- 17:32played in the last five games, the Yankees are how many games
- 17:36out of first place, Speedy, how many games?
- 17:391. One game.
- 17:41Think about that. They've lost five games in a row
- 17:44and the Yankees, it's early, it's 162 games.
- 17:49It's not been warm. Now it's starting to get warm
- 17:52and I think the Yankees bats will wake up.
- 17:54They did the other night winning in extra innings.
- 17:58And the Yankee fans are jumping for joy.
- 18:00Great for them. This isn't the playoffs.
- 18:03This isn't two or three weeks left of the season.
- 18:06The Yankees are fighting for that final playoff position.
- 18:09For Yankee fans to go all over social media and jump for joy on
- 18:13winning a game, a game against a a team that is not better than
- 18:17them. But the honesty here is is right
- 18:20in front of your face face. But the Yankees organization are
- 18:25built on winning. That's what this organization's
- 18:28all about. And you can argue right now that
- 18:32the Yankees are not a winning organization right now.
- 18:36They're playing the Angels, the Angels, and yes, the Angels are
- 18:41all they're 8 and 9. They're playing decent baseball
- 18:45right now. But this isn't the Angels with
- 18:48Albert Pool Halls and my Trout in the the prime of his career.
- 18:53It's not that Angel team, oh Tiny on this roster.
- 18:56Oh Tiny's playing for another organization.
- 18:59Paul Holes was managing in the WBC.
- 19:04This isn't the same Angels team. The roster is not very good.
- 19:10They got some good young prospects.
- 19:13When you look at the Yankees, they have a 90 year old Paul
- 19:17Goldschmidt. And I'm, I'm just trying to be
- 19:20nice here. Paul Goldschmidt made the team,
- 19:23the United States team because there wasn't Pete Alonzo, there
- 19:26was nobody there to really play first base.
- 19:31They had Bryce Harper playing first base and he's turned into
- 19:34his transition to a fairly decent first baseman in the
- 19:37league. Paul Goldschman is a Gold Glove
- 19:41for his baseman. When he was on Arizona, he was
- 19:44one of the best players in baseball.
- 19:45When he went to Saint Louis, he was one of the best players in
- 19:48baseball and one multiple MVPS. Aaron Judge is started off very,
- 19:57very slow. Last year he was as hot as any
- 20:00player in the first month and 1/2.
- 20:02As a matter of fact, a lot of people thought he was going to
- 20:05hit first 400 all season long. Aaron Judge's numbers are bad.
- 20:12They're better than they were in the first five games.
- 20:15He's hitting 233. Yeah, he's got six home runs and
- 20:1812 RBIs, but he's got fourteen hits.
- 20:21And if this guy is not hitting in a lineup, good luck, ladies
- 20:25and gentlemen, good friggin luck.
- 20:30It's scary when your best hitter, one of your best hitters
- 20:33as far as batting averages, it's Ahmed Rosario, who's hitting
- 20:39three O 8 with two home runs and six RBI.
- 20:41Think about that Ahmed Rosario, that Mets fans know who he is.
- 20:47He came up in the Mets farm system, was traded for a very
- 20:53good player. Actually they traded 2 of their
- 20:56infielders to get a good player. But that's a whole nother story.
- 21:02This team is not hidden. If you go up and down this line
- 21:07up and again when you give Trent Grissom a full year, $20 million
- 21:17contract and expect him to be what he was last year, this guy
- 21:22never hit as many home runs for another organization.
- 21:27He's a good player. He's a secondary player.
- 21:29He's not an everyday player. You know what he's hitting right
- 21:31now, 167 with two home runs and nine RB is and eight hits. 167,
- 21:38your starting center fielder is hitting right now.
- 21:43It's a problem. You look at this team as a
- 21:47whole, it's a problem. You can make excuses up and down
- 21:52and say, well, the Yankees will figure things out, which I do.
- 21:55I do believe the Yankees are going to figure something out.
- 21:59Now I get to Jazz Chisholm, or may I say Jazz Jism.
- 22:09This man is energetic, unique, fun to watch, as people would
- 22:17say, smart, educated, or do we believe that?
- 22:23I would say no. This is a guy that all season
- 22:27long says he's he's worth a significant portion of money.
- 22:33He thinks he's worth a lot of money.
- 22:36He thinks he's going to get an 8 year, nine year extension.
- 22:40He's still young, 2829 years old.
- 22:43He's looking to to wheel and deal for the New York Yankees or
- 22:48somebody else. This man is batting 180.
- 22:51He has zero home runs, by the way, only at three home runs in
- 22:56the Home Run Derby. Yeah.
- 22:57And he went out in the offseason, this offseason saying
- 23:01that he's gunning for 50 home runs and fifty stolen bases.
- 23:05This is what this man came out on multiple podcasts and this
- 23:11guy's got energy. This guy wears those thick
- 23:14necklaces and goes out there and struts himself and says, oh, I'm
- 23:18jazz Chism. I'm marrying some TV star bad
- 23:25girls. Anybody watch that TV show?
- 23:27Well, he's he's engaged to one of those bad girls.
- 23:32This player that is one of the elite second baseman in the MLB,
- 23:38elite, elite. Now, this is not a playoff game.
- 23:43We did see him have a lot of blunders, defensive blunders
- 23:47against the Blue Jays. He was one of the he was the
- 23:50reason why the Yankees, I don't remember what game it was in the
- 23:53playoffs when they were matched up against the Blue Jays.
- 23:56One of the games that they lost was because of a mistake he made
- 24:00defensively on the field. And this guy is quoted to be one
- 24:05of the best second baseman, defensive second baseman in
- 24:09baseball and he comes out after making a mistake, a blunder that
- 24:16cost the Yankees a game against a Rays.
- 24:20The Yankees get swept by the Tampa Bay Rays.
- 24:25They don't even have a home. They don't even have a stadium
- 24:28right now. And you go out there and you
- 24:32admit on not knowing the rule about a double play.
- 24:37You've been playing baseball your whole life.
- 24:39You've been in the majors for about 8 or 9 years.
- 24:41You've been an elite player in the league.
- 24:43And you go out there and you speak to the New York media.
- 24:47Think about this. The worst thing you can possibly
- 24:50do, Quentin, you know, you play for The Jets.
- 24:53You understand what you should say and what you shouldn't say
- 24:56to the media. This man went out there after
- 25:00the game and says, I didn't know the rule all these years.
- 25:07I don't know the rule of baseball double plays.
- 25:11I have no idea what the rule is. And then Aaron Boone comes out
- 25:17there and tells everybody, including the media after the
- 25:22game is Jazz is a smart guy. He's not stupid.
- 25:24Really the dumbest thing you could possibly do is go to the
- 25:28media after the game and tell the media.
- 25:31What I would have done is I don't want to speak to the
- 25:33media. I've got nothing to say.
- 25:35I'll let this cool down. I'll I'll speak to the Yankees
- 25:38PR manager and I'll figure out something that could clean this
- 25:43up. You don't go out there and tell
- 25:46the media. Well, I don't.
- 25:48I don't know the rules. Of the game.
- 25:49Don't you get fined? Don't you get fined if you don't
- 25:51speak to the media though? No, not really.
- 25:52In baseball, in baseball I would take they don't do it.
- 25:54I take the fine, Yeah, I would take the fine.
- 25:59I would not go out there and speak to the media because now
- 26:02the Yankee fans, the media thinks that this guy's a
- 26:05complete ass. He's an idiot.
- 26:09You're an elite player at your position.
- 26:11You're expecting a $250 million contract at the end of the year.
- 26:16Jazz just lost whatever big money that he was thinking that
- 26:20he was going to make no matter what he does for the rest of the
- 26:23year. Everybody thinks this man is an
- 26:25idiot. He's dumb.
- 26:27And then you have Aaron Boot come out and say, well, he
- 26:30should learn how to answer the the questions better.
- 26:34Well, how much better do you have to answer a question?
- 26:37Think about it. Somebody asked you a question,
- 26:40you answer it. He's he's blunt.
- 26:42We all know that Jazz Chisholm is blunt.
- 26:46Every time he comes out and says something, doesn't matter if
- 26:49it's a podcast, speaking to the media, he is going to be blunt
- 26:53no matter what. And he was blunt, and being
- 26:58blunt makes you think or makes you realize how stupid you are.
- 27:03The Yankees, well shout out to them for for breaking that five
- 27:05game losing streak. You know we will celebrate the
- 27:07one win just as we always do with Yankees baseball wins.
- 27:13But overall, I think they are kind of inconsistent in regards
- 27:16to the start of the game. I think looking back over the
- 27:20box score, anywhere between that third and 5th, they're just
- 27:24going 0. Like over the last five or six
- 27:26games it's just been zero. They haven't got no run.
- 27:28So I think it didn't late in the ball game they, you know, pick
- 27:32it up and be very aggressive. And I think the teams that have
- 27:35beat them have beat them on the front end because they may have
- 27:38scored one or two points. And then on the back end, when
- 27:43when the Yanks recover ground, it just isn't enough for them to
- 27:47overcome. Because those one or two points
- 27:49that the other team has got in the 1st and 2nd inning, they
- 27:52ain't, they ain't able to overcome it.
- 27:54So I say, you know, I think that's pretty much their issue
- 27:57right now. You know, last night Judge and
- 28:01Trout had a hell of a show and and home run show felt like the
- 28:06Derby a little bit. But yeah, they had a hell of a
- 28:09show last night and I think that won't win.
- 28:10Kind of will help them get some momentum going forward.
- 28:13The Yankees last night, 11 to 10, It was a horrible bullpen
- 28:18effort. We got to, we got to hit our old
- 28:21buddy Louisa. Go over there.
- 28:23The Angels are terrible. The Angels look just terrible.
- 28:25We know they're terrible. Mike Trout's a Hall of Famer.
- 28:28Every once in a while he does something like this.
- 28:29Especially when you put up guys in the bullpen that are
- 28:32terrible. Right after the game, the
- 28:33Yankees demoted Jake Bird, who they got traded for at the trade
- 28:36deadline last year. They had to demote them last
- 28:39year. Guess what?
- 28:40They're demoting him again this year, too.
- 28:43And the bullpen's terrible. And they barely won that game.
- 28:45Thank God for Trent Grisham having the first good game of
- 28:48the entire season. Errol mentioned it before.
- 28:50Looks like he's coming back in a second, but Grisham hadn't done
- 28:54anything all season. He got 90% of his stats for the
- 28:57season in yesterday's game. Thank God that they did, or else
- 29:00they would have lost. Right, exactly.
- 29:03But like, how is this sustainable?
- 29:05Errol, did you know that Ahmad Ahmed Rosario is batting third
- 29:09tonight for the Yankees? Well, third, Aaron Boone is
- 29:12going to play the best and the more hotter hitters.
- 29:15That's what he does. And he's going to follow
- 29:17analytics. The Yankees have always done
- 29:19that. And the way upstairs works, the
- 29:22way Brian Cashman works, he's got the, I, I guess the science
- 29:26right behind what the Yankees like to do.
- 29:28The mathematical statistics, those, those, I guess doctors or
- 29:33whatever they call themselves professors up there figuring out
- 29:38what player is hot what, what player hits better against this
- 29:41lefty, this righty. And I'm not saying I'm a Rosario
- 29:45is the best hitter on this roster.
- 29:46He's just been one of the hotter hitters on this roster.
- 29:49So they're going to play the hot hand.
- 29:51This is what the Yankees do. And this is what the Yankees
- 29:53have to do because it's been cold.
- 29:56Right now, the Yankees are down 3 to nothing against the Angels,
- 29:59three to nothing. This is an Angel team that's
- 30:01been one of the worst teams in baseball.
- 30:03One of the worst teams in baseball.
- 30:06Back-to-back to back home runs they gave up.
- 30:08Back-to-back to back to Trout, Adele and Solar.
- 30:11Who's on the mound tonight? And it's a Weathers who pitched
- 30:14great last time. They're getting to him tonight.
- 30:16Weathers hasn't He's played. He started three games.
- 30:19The first two games they've been iffy.
- 30:21I don't know if he played well. His second game.
- 30:23He hasn't been consistent. What is this, his third or
- 30:26fourth game? It might be his fourth game.
- 30:28I think it's his fourth. He had the 8 innings, 7 KS.
- 30:31So that was the that was his the third game.
- 30:34So the first two games he was really, really bad.
- 30:37He wasn't good. His first game was horrible.
- 30:40He was the worst out of the four pitchers in the rotation in the
- 30:44first four games of they won that game, but he wasn't hot.
- 30:49I think the Yankees won seven to five and they came back in the
- 30:528th inning, if I, if I'm not mistaken.
- 30:54So the Yankees have been, they've been one of those teams
- 30:58that have been hot and cold and they were very hot in the
- 31:00beginning of the season. Everybody was excited.
- 31:02Look at this team. They're hitting, they're
- 31:04pitching, but now they're bats are cold.
- 31:07And this is something that the Yankee fans were crying about
- 31:11before the season started. And he said, well, Hal
- 31:14Steinbrenner didn't make enough moves.
- 31:16He didn't spend enough money. And Brian Cashman, the mad
- 31:20scientist, really didn't find or and go out there and and bring
- 31:25in evaluate players that fit this roster, especially when it
- 31:29comes to get knocking runs in And and the Yankees have been
- 31:32one of the worst teams in baseball year in and year out.
- 31:35The Yankees haven't been a team that knocks in runs in scoring
- 31:39position in the last 10-15 years.
- 31:42They've been one of the worst teams in baseball, especially in
- 31:44the second-half. And the one thing I could say
- 31:47about the Yankees, which they've been very good over the last 3-4
- 31:51years, is their bullpen in the first half have been dominant,
- 31:55absolutely dominant. And now we're going into what,
- 32:001718 games of the season? And their bullpen has not been
- 32:04dominant. As a matter of fact, the last
- 32:06five games, their bullpen has been horrible.
- 32:09They don't have a closer. A lot of people were complaining
- 32:12about that. They let Devin Williams go to
- 32:14the Mets. Now, I'm not saying Devin Devin
- 32:16Williams was a world beater for the New York Yankees, because he
- 32:18wasn't. But he was better than anything
- 32:21they have. And right now the Yankees don't
- 32:25have a legitimate closer. They don't have a legitimate 8th
- 32:29minute guy, 8th in a guy. And and that to me is a big
- 32:33problem. We're expecting Rodon to come
- 32:35back. We're expecting Schmidt to come
- 32:37back. We're expecting Garrett Cole to
- 32:39come back. And this rotation can become
- 32:42unhittable. But here's the problem.
- 32:44It they could be as unhittable as they possibly can.
- 32:47If they can't hit, it doesn't matter how unhittable they are.
- 32:52You need to score once to win the game.
- 32:54And they're just not. And then you have guys, stupid
- 32:57guys like Jazz Chisholm, going out there and making the
- 33:00organization look Dumber because you have a dumb baseball player
- 33:04that doesn't know the rules, doesn't understand the game as a
- 33:08whole. And that is, to me worrisome
- 33:11because you're going into a a season where a lot of people
- 33:14believe the Yankees are the best team in the American League.
- 33:16The American League is not really that good.
- 33:18The National League, they, they're, to me, they're by far
- 33:22the best league. When you think about the
- 33:24Dodgers, you look at the Diamondbacks, you look at the,
- 33:26the Mets are going to figure things out, the Phillies, the
- 33:29Braves, and and then you have the Cubs.
- 33:32Saint Louis might be good this year.
- 33:34Cincinnati looks good. Pittsburgh's actually pitching
- 33:36right now. There are a lot more talented
- 33:40young teams in the National League than they are in the
- 33:42American League. There's nothing.
- 33:44Seattle's been up and down so far.
- 33:46We'll see what Seattle's going to be 50 games, and we don't
- 33:49know what these teams are going to be because it usually takes
- 33:5240 to 50 games to kind of be more understanding of where the
- 33:59season is going with these teams.
- 34:01The Yankees right now, I do not think the Yankees are as bad as
- 34:05they've played in the last past week and a half.
- 34:07I think they're a lot better. But when you can't hit and you
- 34:11had Giancarlo Stan, who's one of he was the first week and 1/2
- 34:14was the hottest hitter in baseball.
- 34:16He was player of the week and now he can't hit a lick.
- 34:21I worry because his elbows, he came out and said in the off
- 34:24season that a lot of people don't think he could play 140
- 34:27games. I'd go think he's going to be
- 34:29able to play 140 games. He's a bona fide DH.
- 34:32That's what he is. He's not playing in the
- 34:35outfield. And by the way, the Yankees have
- 34:37too many outfielders because they have Jason Dominguez, who's
- 34:39hitting over 300 right now in in in AAA in their farm system in
- 34:44Trenton. And you have a guy, a young
- 34:47power left-handed hitter that everybody wants to see in
- 34:50Spencer Jones. But you have Brian Cashman
- 34:52coming out and saying, well, we in Grissom, we trust this
- 34:58outfield is not good as far as when it comes to offense.
- 35:04We don't know who their everyday left left fielder is.
- 35:09Grissom is not an everyday center fielder.
- 35:11Aaron Judge to me, is the only bona fide real outfielder.
- 35:16Now everybody's going to say Bellinger.
- 35:18I think Bellinger should play first base.
- 35:21I think he should play first base.
- 35:23Now, what are you going to do with Rice?
- 35:24I think Rice, Rice should should be an alternate, a rotating
- 35:29player at the catcher position. Wells is up and down.
- 35:34We don't know what Austin, he looked very good in the WBC.
- 35:37What he's done over the first couple of weeks of the season.
- 35:40What's he batting, 18170? He's been horrible.
- 35:44I don't have his batting average in front of me.
- 35:46One 67167. Rice has been one of their best
- 35:51hitters. He still can catch.
- 35:54He's he's a good catcher. He's not better than Austin
- 35:57Wells, but Austin Wells wasn't good.
- 36:01He figured it out his last year, year and a half, how to catch.
- 36:04When the Yankees brought him up, they didn't.
- 36:06When they drafted him from Arizona, they thought he was a
- 36:09first baseman. That's what he was, a power bat
- 36:12that could play first base. He will never be a catcher.
- 36:15He worked really, really hard in the farm system for three years
- 36:19before he got called up by the Yankees.
- 36:21He's become a competent catcher, not a great catcher, a competent
- 36:26catcher. And why?
- 36:27Because he was one of the hotter hitters in the WBC for the
- 36:30Dominican Republic. We think this guy is better than
- 36:33he is. He's not.
- 36:36I'm going to, I'm going to bet that Rice is might not be a
- 36:40better catcher. I think they're similar at the
- 36:43position, but he's a better hitter.
- 36:45His on base percentage is a lot better than Austin Wells and it
- 36:48tells me that Rice will be in the line up every single game.
- 36:52And and I'm going to put the better defensive player, a Paul
- 36:55Goldschmidt or a Bellinger at first base.
- 36:59And I'm going to figure out who I'm going to bring up in the in
- 37:02the farm system. Is it a Jason Dominguez or a
- 37:04dispenser Jones or Trey Trent Grissom.
- 37:08He sucks. There is no, honestly, there's
- 37:14no charisma here besides Jazz Chisholm and what he does on and
- 37:20off the off the field. Everybody says Aaron Judge is a
- 37:23nice guy. I was talking to Nick about it.
- 37:25How nice of a guy. He's fun to be around.
- 37:27But everybody else, it just looks like nobody wants to be
- 37:30there. Think about it.
- 37:31Watch the games. Anybody watching the games, half
- 37:34of those players in the dugout, when they fall behind, they look
- 37:37like they don't even want to be there.
- 37:38They want the game to end. That's how bad it looks for the
- 37:42Yankees. And what do they have?
- 37:44They have the cameras on Aaron Boone, Aaron Boone, and I like
- 37:48Aaron Boone. I worry that Aaron Boone is
- 37:52digging himself a hole, a hole which they're going to put his
- 37:58coffin in by the end of the season because this coffin is
- 38:03going to send them down 6 feet under.
- 38:05And every single one of the executives for the New York
- 38:08Yankees, including how Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman
- 38:11are going to help throw the dirt on his tomb.
- 38:15That's, that's the way it's going right now for Aaron Boone.
- 38:17There is no way this guy this season is going to be able to
- 38:24fix what the Yankees could be if they keep playing like this.
- 38:29There's no way. Now, there's a lot of mediocrity
- 38:31too in baseball right now. There's a lot of besides the
- 38:33Dodgers, there's a lot of teams that are like 9 and five, nine
- 38:36and six. And the Yankees in Mex are right
- 38:37now stuck in this cluster of that.
- 38:39And the Mets, it's a different issue.
- 38:40Their stars are not hitting. I think the Yankees, you got
- 38:43judged not hitting, but I think a lot of.
- 38:45Their I'll get into the Mets, don't you worry.
- 38:46There are other core pieces are hitting.
- 38:48The Mets stars aren't hitting, but they have guys like Robert
- 38:50and guys like Alvarez that are hitting and both teams are
- 38:52pitching in the starting rotation pretty well.
- 38:53Bullpens are kind of up and down.
- 38:55The Mets I worry about a little more because besides Lindor, a
- 38:59lot of those guys have that up and down offensive years in the
- 39:01past. But shit, I didn't like the
- 39:02contract from the start. I know you didn't either.
- 39:03Errol and Simeon, we'll see what kind of year he has.
- 39:06Usually good in the first year teams, but not great here.
- 39:08And both these bullpens have been very rocky so far.
- 39:11Mendoza, I'm not going to blame entirely on it, but he doesn't
- 39:13look great so far. But yeah, he definitely could be
- 39:16on the chopping block first among any manager in baseball.
- 39:18And Boone, I agree with you, I do like him, but he's definitely
- 39:21running himself out as well. Before we move on, we have a
- 39:24caller that's been waiting for a while, Mr. Brian Snow.
- 39:28Evening gents. How are you?
- 39:29What's up, Brian? What's going on?
- 39:32Brian, I love your passion about the Yankees Arrow, and
- 39:36everything you are saying about them and about New York baseball
- 39:40is correct and love the analogy that you put together about this
- 39:45season being killed for Aaron Boone and they're going to bury.
- 39:49They're going to bury him. The problem I have with that is
- 39:52Aaron Boone should have been buried two years ago, but he
- 39:57bought equity when he took the Yankees on a miracle run to the
- 40:02World Series. That was that is what happens in
- 40:05sports nowadays. You can have the sorriest
- 40:07roster, the sorriest situation, Kyle Shanahan, I'm looking at
- 40:11you. But when you take and and y'all
- 40:14know I'm a 49er fan in my heart. But when you take a team to the
- 40:18ultimate round, the championship round, you wind up buying equity
- 40:22and. Aaron Boone has bought equity
- 40:28because he took the Yankees on that miracle run in the
- 40:30championship. Now is this it for Aaron Boone?
- 40:34No. I'll change the question.
- 40:36Should it be it for Aaron Boone? I don't and that staff I will.
- 40:40Say this and Brian, I'm sorry to cut you off, but I I do believe
- 40:43that the Yankees organization loves Aaron Boone because he's a
- 40:46yes man type of matter. He says what Brian Cashman tells
- 40:50him to sit Brian. Brian Cashman tells him to eat.
- 40:54Brian tells him to smack somebody'd ass in the bullpen.
- 40:57He's going to do that every single thing Brian Cashman tells
- 41:03Aaron Boone to do, if he tells him to sit, bark like a dog, I
- 41:07think Aaron Boone's going to do this is this is Aaron Boone.
- 41:10He's a yes man type of guy. And that's why I think the
- 41:13reason why Aaron Boone still has a job and I like Aaron Boone.
- 41:16I think he's a company manager. He's one of the better managers
- 41:20in baseball, but it doesn't show because guess what?
- 41:22He manages the New York Yankees. He has arguably the the best
- 41:26player in baseball and Aaron Judge, who's your best?
- 41:30And he's one of the biggest superstars in baseball.
- 41:32You have a great pitching staff with Max Free and then you have,
- 41:36I'm sorry, Garrett Cole coming back.
- 41:37You have Schlittler who looks like he's going to be a young
- 41:40star for the New York Yankees. This this team is cluttered with
- 41:43talent. But guess what?
- 41:45They get into these situations that you, you, you just like.
- 41:49You ever watch Jose Canseco play when when he was playing for the
- 41:52Oakland Athletics? All the blunders and the
- 41:54mistakes that man made and it had nothing to do with steroids,
- 41:57ladies and gentlemen, that had nothing to do with a ball
- 42:00hitting him on the top of the head and going out right.
- 42:03That was. A blocker.
- 42:04How about the time that Jose Canseco tried to go up for a
- 42:07ball that looked like it was going over the going over the
- 42:11fence and the ball falls right in front of them?
- 42:14I mean, it reminds me of Jose Canseco, by the way, was a
- 42:18Yankee. And I think he did win a World
- 42:20Series with the Yankee or Yankees, or he was a part of a
- 42:23World Series run for the New York Yankees.
- 42:26But nevertheless, Jose Canseco was a joke.
- 42:29He was overrated as a player. A lot of people were big fans of
- 42:33Jose Canseco, but the guy made more blunders than great
- 42:37catches. Or yeah, he had a lot of power
- 42:40in his bat, but it could have been steroids, It could have
- 42:42been something else. He wasn't.
- 42:44He wasn't his brother, Ozzy Canseco, his twin brother, who
- 42:47couldn't hit a lick in the in baseball and didn't really run
- 42:50out to anything. Why am I saying this?
- 42:52Because Aaron Boone comes from an organization and comes from a
- 42:55family of success. Look at what his father was as
- 42:59AGM. Look at what his player, what
- 43:01his brother was as a player. This guy got this job from the
- 43:05for the New York Yankees, not because of management
- 43:08experience. He got this job because of who
- 43:10his family is, because him and Brian Cashman are butt buddies.
- 43:15They love each other. They'll kiss each other's ass.
- 43:17He got this job over Don Mattingly.
- 43:19Don Mattingly. No, I'm not saying Don Manningly
- 43:21is a world beater. He's a championship manager
- 43:24because he never was. But this is a guy that was a
- 43:27face. He was the captain of the New
- 43:28York Yankees in the 80s. He was Donnie Baseball.
- 43:31What the hell? And I repeat myself, what was
- 43:34Aaron Boone? He had a home run against the
- 43:37Boston Red Sox, which was incredible, but that was the
- 43:42only thing he was remembered at is a New York Yankee.
- 43:44And then what happened the year after that?
- 43:45He plays in a basketball pickup game.
- 43:48He hurts himself. He tears his ACL and his career
- 43:50with the Yankees over. Remember that over over.
- 43:55Think about it. Same with I can make the same
- 44:00comparison with with with Kyle Shanahan because his dad, Mike
- 44:04Shanahan was the LC of the 49ers in 94 when they won that, when
- 44:08they won the Super Bowl. So again, it goes back to my
- 44:11argument of buying equity. Kyle Shanahan bought equity,
- 44:14especially with San Francisco after the blunder in Atlanta.
- 44:17Dear God in heaven, don't get me started on that.
- 44:20And two blunders against Kansas City, Both of those should have
- 44:23been blowout wins for the 49ers. Don't get me started on that.
- 44:26But at the at the same time, Kyle Shanahan has gone from an
- 44:31offensive coordinator to becoming a yes man.
- 44:33And this is a guy, and I'll say it again, you know me.
- 44:36You've been on my show with me. This is a guy that has been a
- 44:3949er fan since 1981. I've seen my share of I've seen
- 44:43my share of great coaches. One of my favorites of all time
- 44:46is the great Bill Parcells with the with the New York Giants.
- 44:50But part of the culture today is that you hire folks to be yes
- 44:55men and not actually coach and or manage the game.
- 44:59That's just how far some sports and how some how far some teams
- 45:05have fallen. Joe Girardi.
- 45:08Everybody. Every Yankee fan loved Joe
- 45:10Girardi. Why?
- 45:11Because he won a World Series in 2009.
- 45:13Did he win a World Series? No, he didn't.
- 45:15How? Steinbrenner decided to spend
- 45:17money in the offseason. He brought CC Sabathia, AJ
- 45:21Burnett and Mark Teixeira, who by the way, they stole from the
- 45:26Boston Red Sox. Again, they stole a rod from the
- 45:28Boston Red Sox, and they stole Mark Teixeira from the Boston.
- 45:32Red Sox. Boston Red Sox, they win one
- 45:34World Series. Why?
- 45:36Because it was their first year in their new stadium and Mr.
- 45:40Steinbrenner was he wasn't healthy, he wasn't doing very
- 45:43well. And and Mr. Steinbrenner, they
- 45:45wanted to make sure how wanted to make sure that this team was
- 45:48going to win again before their father was going to go.
- 45:51And what happens? They did they win 2. 1009.
- 45:55Their father Their father passes away at the end of 2010, 2011.
- 45:59So he experienced one last championship.
- 46:02And guess what? When was the last time the New
- 46:04York Yankees won a championship? 2009 Two. 1009. 2000.
- 46:11Nine, 2009, ladies and Gentlemen, 2009.
- 46:15The first year of the the first year of the house that Jeter
- 46:17built, that's the last time. That's the last time the Yankees
- 46:22won a world championship. And they got a miracle run in
- 46:262024. But then Freddie, how did Joe
- 46:30Davis put it? Giddy.
- 46:31Meet Freddie. And we all know what happened at
- 46:33the time. And we don't know.
- 46:34We all know what happened with the rest of that series.
- 46:37They're not hitting now that they're not hitting now, they're
- 46:42not playing good now. It's going to be a while before
- 46:45they do start playing good. And I agree with, but you said
- 46:48that it takes a A-Team 40 to 50 games, maybe a little bit beyond
- 46:54if youth is involved. My White Sox can attest to that
- 46:57right now to see how good a team is going to be or if if you can
- 47:03make an adjustments to go on a playoff run or if you're just
- 47:06going to be scouting the rest of the season.
- 47:08But, and, and oddly enough, a note about 2009, who they beat
- 47:12to win the Pennant, the team that's beating them right now,
- 47:15the Angels. Oh.
- 47:16Please. When they were and the and as
- 47:19far as the Angels go, they have wasted Mike Trout.
- 47:23Period. They have wasted Mike Trout's
- 47:26career and the and it's a team that don't even that.
- 47:30They don't know if they want to be called the California Angels.
- 47:32They don't know if they want to be called the Anaheim Angels,
- 47:34but they have wasted Mike Trout's career.
- 47:36The blood sucking angels, because it seems like yes,
- 47:39everybody that goes there, they completely die.
- 47:42Rendon. Anthony Rendon.
- 47:44Anthony Rendon, he gets this big time contract, he goes to the
- 47:48Angels, he how he plays like 56 games, 56 and gets over $200
- 47:53million, almost $200 million to never.
- 47:56No more. This guy played 56 games in I
- 48:00think five years. He barely played and gets all
- 48:03that money. It's very Angel like Albert
- 48:05Pools. He goes over there do.
- 48:07They. Never they.
- 48:09Never win. It and.
- 48:10And and remember, Rendon was coming off of a world
- 48:12championship that he won with the Washington Nationals.
- 48:14Yep, and not many people knew who the hell Anthony Rendon was
- 48:17until he won. He won in Washington.
- 48:20Absolutely agree, Brian and I, I want to get into the Mets.
- 48:23So, Brian, keep listening, my friend.
- 48:25We love you and I I think you're fantastic.
- 48:28Brian Snow, snowman in the morning, He.
- 48:30Does a show on. Our network.
- 48:31He's fantastic. Check it out.
- 48:33Worldwide sports radio network. Sensational.
- 48:36Great takes. Brian.
- 48:37Keep listening my friend, we love.
- 48:39You, I appreciate you. Thank you very much.
- 48:41I appreciate it. Brian Snow, ladies and
- 48:43gentlemen, fantastic, great person.
- 48:45I'm telling you, one of the best play by play guys.
- 48:47And by the way, for for you to understand Q, he actually lives
- 48:51in North Carolina, so he's right.
- 48:53There, Come on, he's from Why you tell me why he was on.
- 48:56Shout out to North Carolina. North Carolina, North Cary, NC.
- 49:02Kakalaki. Yeah, Kakalaki, I want to get
- 49:04into the Kakalakis of the New York Mets.
- 49:06I'm not a Met fan, but I feel for the Mets fans.
- 49:09I feel for the New York Mets fans.
- 49:12And why do I feel for them? Well, we knew that if Lindor
- 49:17doesn't hit and Soto is not 100% healthy, where are they going to
- 49:22get this offense? Now, Alvarez has been good.
- 49:25Alvarez has been a competent catcher in the league, but he's
- 49:28hot and cold. He doesn't really put it all
- 49:31together. He hasn't put it all together.
- 49:32This guy was a top prospect in baseball, one of the best young
- 49:36catchers in in not only in the Mets farm system, in all of
- 49:39baseball. And he's been up and down.
- 49:41The Mets set him down once or twice.
- 49:43They bring him back up. He's finally hitting.
- 49:45If he can stay consistent, that would be great.
- 49:48The problem here is, and again Lindor for years, and he's been
- 49:52with the Mets for a while, he starts very slow.
- 49:56He doesn't usually start very fast.
- 49:58He falls in that one, 67170 the first week.
- 50:02Then he finally cuts it down to 220-2223 and it's slowly but
- 50:07surely starts to hit. Lynn Dorne needs to hit when
- 50:11Juan Soto is not 100% healthy. And Juan Soto came out before
- 50:15the season started, ladies and gentlemen.
- 50:17And what did he say? He said that he's the best
- 50:21player in the National League and he believes he is going to
- 50:25win the MVP of the National League this year.
- 50:28He came out and said I'm going to have one of these great all
- 50:32world season and I'll say this, he had a great season last year
- 50:35for the New York Mets. It wasn't because of him that
- 50:38the Mets choked at the end of the season.
- 50:40Their bats choked and they're pitching choked.
- 50:45They added Peralta in the offseason.
- 50:48Peralta looks up and down. It's still early.
- 50:51We'll see if he can handle playing in New York and and
- 50:55pitching 30 to 28 starts. I would love to see Peralta does
- 50:59that this year. If he does, he's going to get
- 51:01himself a lot of money. But the problem right now is the
- 51:05Mets fans are trying to find somebody to point their fingers
- 51:09to. That's what the Mets are trying
- 51:11to do. Mets fans out there like the
- 51:14Yankee fans crying their eyes out babies and who they're
- 51:19trying to point their finger. The real guy you should be
- 51:21pointing your fingers to is David Stearns, not Uncle Stevie.
- 51:26Uncle Stevie opens his pockets. He's dancing his way to a
- 51:30billion dollars. I mean, this guy has spent.
- 51:33He has to. If you look at the numbers since
- 51:35he's taken over the Mets in what, 5-6 years?
- 51:37This man is, is is at least spent $1.5 billion.
- 51:42He's invested a boatload of money on players and everybody
- 51:46thought it was all because of the casino after it gets
- 51:49approved. Now, I don't know if it's true
- 51:51or not. He's a Mets fan.
- 51:53He grew up in Plainview, a Great Neck, wherever.
- 51:58He's invested a lot of money. This trust fund baby.
- 52:01Well, he's not a trust fund baby, but he has trust funds now
- 52:05he does. These kids are going to have
- 52:06trust funds. What do they call him?
- 52:08What? What does he have?
- 52:09What are they? What do they say about Hedge?
- 52:12Funds. Hedge funds.
- 52:13Hedge funds. There it is.
- 52:14He's the hedge fund king. That's it.
- 52:16I just see I'm I'm not a friend. I'm not a what do they call that
- 52:21entrepreneur? No, I am an entrepreneur.
- 52:25I'm not a finance guy. What?
- 52:27What speedy? This this man is he's in his own
- 52:31little Blogger. This guy has made more mistakes
- 52:33tonight than him cleaning up his ass when he's taking a dump.
- 52:38There it is. Sound good, Speedy.
- 52:39We still love you guys. I don't know about that.
- 52:41I'm starting to really hate him. But nevertheless, yeah, Carlos
- 52:44Mendoza is going to be the guy that he's the odd man out.
- 52:48Everybody's pointing their fingers.
- 52:49I, I, by the way, my beard is not that Gray, just so you know,
- 52:53fish, you give me like this Gray beard.
- 52:56I'm not that old. It's.
- 52:57Pretty great. It's pretty good.
- 52:58No, it's not. It's not accurate.
- 53:00I don't have great a Gray beard. I'm not that old.
- 53:03Not seeing in the camera. I I know what my beard looks
- 53:07like. Q It definitely doesn't look
- 53:09that Gray. Nevertheless, Carlos.
- 53:13I just typed it in Errol. It just that's how it made it.
- 53:16You know, I took a picture. It's pretty accurate.
- 53:18That's why AI is been a blunder over the last couple of weeks
- 53:22when you post up pictures you and speaking.
- 53:27I'm not I'm not going to post anything up If you really want
- 53:30me to post, if I want to post something up of you.
- 53:32Q You hide that big, beautiful a bunch of hair in the pop of your
- 53:37head and then fish with his little curls in the front.
- 53:40Who ports his hair like, like, like he's Don Juan DeMarco.
- 53:44All right, I. Mean seriously?
- 53:46Anyways. Italian.
- 53:48Mafia. The Italian?
- 53:49Well, that's a whole other story.
- 53:51The Jewish Mafia, anyway. I'm about to say yeah, the
- 53:53Jewish Mafia. There you are.
- 53:55I'm part of both of them, man. I got both of them.
- 53:57The blood in there. All right, perfect.
- 53:59I will say this, and I want to get, I want to get through with
- 54:01the New York Mets and and the problems with the Mets.
- 54:04It's not Mendoza. It's not.
- 54:07I do not believe in that. I do not blame a manager.
- 54:10The manager makes mistakes with the bullpen.
- 54:12Has he made mistakes with the bullpen?
- 54:14Yes. I don't think the problem for
- 54:15the New York Mets is their bullpen.
- 54:17It's not. It hasn't been.
- 54:19They're not hitting. Jorge Polanco is batting under
- 54:242. Lindor is batting.
- 54:26He's up and down, but he's batting practically under two,
- 54:30half of the place. If I have the roster right now
- 54:32and I I'm looking at the Mets roster in their depth, I'm
- 54:36looking at, I'm looking at the bullpen.
- 54:38But here it is. Francisco Alvarez is hitting
- 54:41over 300. He's he's actually if I'm not
- 54:44mistaken. Three O 2.
- 54:45Three O 2. So we we understand that.
- 54:48So he's hitting the ball. Mark Vientos is not hitting the
- 54:52ball. Jorge Polanco is not hitting the
- 54:54ball. Brad Brett Beatty has been up
- 54:56and down. Marcus Simeon's been up and
- 54:58down. What is he batting, 23227 there?
- 55:01It is 197. So I actually dipped over the
- 55:03weekend. Bob Burchett is hitting, what,
- 55:05225? He's not.
- 55:07This guy is. This guy just made a $48 million
- 55:10a year. He's making more money a year
- 55:12than Aaron Judge and he is batting 225. 569 OPS.
- 55:18Wonderful. Francisco Lindor, What's his
- 55:21numbers? Francisco Lindor is hitting 170.
- 55:256176 this is your superstar shortstop that everybody loves
- 55:29then you're bringing Carson Bench, who?
- 55:32I'm not pointing my fingers at Carson Bench.
- 55:34He's still learning the game he's a youngster he made the
- 55:36team. You got to give him some credit
- 55:38there. But the, the big blunder is Juan
- 55:41Soto's on the IL Juan Soto. All he does is open his mouth.
- 55:44He he sparks and he trots in there in the bullpen.
- 55:48You know, I'm not the bullpen. When he talks to the media at
- 55:51before and after the game, he's not even playing.
- 55:53He's speaking to the media. This is a man that should keep
- 55:56his mouth shut. And I and I, and there's stories
- 55:59coming out that him and Lindor are not getting along.
- 56:01Think about that. Lindor and Juan Soto, two
- 56:06friends, they train in the offseason together.
- 56:08One of the main reasons why Juan Soto decided to come to the
- 56:12Mets, him and Francisco Lindor are not getting along.
- 56:15I'm, I'm just telling you what the rumors are now, Rumorville,
- 56:19I'm not Josh Silverberg. I'm not going to throw something
- 56:22and hope it sticks. This is the rumor, ladies and
- 56:24gentlemen. It's it's a problem.
- 56:27And as far as I'm concerned with this rotation, you're you're
- 56:31betting on McClain. And Mcclain's been great.
- 56:34If you look at Peralta, McClain, who's been a better pitcher,
- 56:36it's been McClain. And McClain started at the WBC.
- 56:42He he made that, that rotation. And a lot of people, they were
- 56:46what, what were they saying? What was wrong with Vertigo?
- 56:49His Vertigo problem. The Mets knew that he had
- 56:51Vertigo. The league, I, I'm sure the, as
- 56:55far as I'm concerned, teams knew that he had Vertigo.
- 56:58But all of a sudden at the WBC, it just came out, came out and
- 57:01about. Here's the facts.
- 57:03The Mets are going to play better.
- 57:05I expect him to play better. I'm not worried about the Mets
- 57:08more than I'm worried about the Yankees.
- 57:11Crazy to say that, right? But here's the reason why the
- 57:15New York Yankees have been in these situations before.
- 57:19And and what I've seen with Aaron Judge last year, he was
- 57:22hot. This guy was hitting like 450
- 57:25for for the first month and a half and he kept the Yankees
- 57:29afloat. If Aaron Judge is not hitting
- 57:32and now everybody says, well he has six home runs and twelve RB
- 57:34is what is he batting right now batting 223?
- 57:39I mean, it fluctuates from I, I think it's closer to 2:30, but
- 57:43he was for the first week and 1/2 he was hitting about 170.
- 57:48Speedy. You have his numbers 230-3233.
- 57:50So I was right. He's hitting about 2:30.
- 57:53If he's not hitting and that lineup is not, you know,
- 57:58building around him, especially they tried to move him so far,
- 58:02Aaron Boone's moved him at he was hitting first, he's hit
- 58:05second, he's hit third and he's hit clean up.
- 58:09I, I understand them. The Yankees are trying to look
- 58:12at analytics and that they believe that's the way to win.
- 58:15Analytics are just a small portion of success and the
- 58:20Yankees over the last couple of years, they've they've either
- 58:24started very strong and started very slow or and they find their
- 58:29way in the second-half. I worry that the Yankees got
- 58:32really hot early in the season and now they're going to go into
- 58:37this this situation where they go into the this 6789 game
- 58:41losing streak and they lose confidence.
- 58:45And Aaron Boone is going to go out there and make excuses for
- 58:48this team and the way the organization rolls.
- 58:51Because everybody knows the Yankees are not firing Aaron
- 58:53Boone until the season is over. The Yankees don't do that.
- 58:57That's why Mendoza, eventually the Mets are going to fire
- 59:00Mendoza. They got to find somebody to
- 59:02blame right now, and they're going to blame it on Carlos
- 59:05Mendoza. It is not the manager right now
- 59:08with the Mets. It's the lineup.
- 59:10They'll figure it out. I think the Mets Beau Burchett
- 59:12is a career almost 300 hitter. This guy won a batting title.
- 59:16I don't think he's this bad. I really don't.
- 59:19And I think when Juan Soto comes back and this lineup starts to
- 59:21hit on all cylinders, the Mets will find a way because they're
- 59:25in a division. To me, as much as we heard last
- 59:29week that Miami might be a danger, Miami's never been a
- 59:32danger. Miami always fall flat on their
- 59:34face in the second-half. Half of those players are going
- 59:36to be traded at the trade deadline.
- 59:38That's what Miami does. They never keep players.
- 59:40They never solidify themselves as one of the elite teams in the
- 59:43majors. So I'm not worrying about Miami.
- 59:45Philadelphia is old. Bryce Harper, Schwarber.
- 59:49We saw what they did in the WBC. They were not very good.
- 59:53And I don't expect this team, they're they're more on the
- 59:56older side than younger. The Mets are actually a young
- 59:59team. They're young.
- 1:00:01And they're hungry. I think the Mets will be fine.
- 1:00:03I worry about the Yankees because the Blue Jays want to
- 1:00:06prove themselves. The Rays are not as bad as they
- 1:00:08were as they started. And the Orioles, they could get
- 1:00:11hot. They don't have pitching.
- 1:00:13But what about when it gets warmer?
- 1:00:14Pete Alonso goes on one of these binges where he hits 10 home
- 1:00:17runs in 10 games. It's going to happen.
- 1:00:20I worry about the Yankees. Are they going to get enough
- 1:00:22offense and are the Yankees going to reach and they're going
- 1:00:25to trade Spencer Jones or Jason Dominguez, not give these kids a
- 1:00:29chance because they're in a hole and Brian Cashman is trying to
- 1:00:32find a way to dig themselves out.
- 1:00:34That's what I worry about. The Yankees not worried about
- 1:00:36the. Mets, yeah, the Mets are and
- 1:00:37Yankees are two different cases when it comes to their their
- 1:00:39bullpen issues. I think the Yankees are just
- 1:00:41trying to figure it out with a lot of those guys in different
- 1:00:44roles. I think the Mets are just trying
- 1:00:45to get guys back a little more. Like you look at the AJ Minter
- 1:00:48is going to be coming back next week, but I think you look at
- 1:00:51you look at Edwin Diaz, the role going in now to Devin Williams,
- 1:00:54like you said, Devin Williams has not been a consistent guy.
- 1:00:56He's been rocky but gotten it done.
- 1:00:58Is it good enough? I don't know.
- 1:01:00And these other guys trying to get new roles outside of Brooks
- 1:01:02Raley, Luke Weaver, bad last two games recently and a lot of
- 1:01:07these guys just finding those things with starting pitching.
- 1:01:09That's been pretty good. Outside of David Peterson, the
- 1:01:11rest of the staff has been pretty good so far.
- 1:01:12Peralta has been a little iffy, but good enough.
- 1:01:16The offense is the main concern with the Mets, the Yankees.
- 1:01:18The Mets have the upside prospects wise.
- 1:01:20The Yankees, we'll see if it comes with Spencer Jones.
- 1:01:22Dominguez, can they keep it up will be another question.
- 1:01:24But you're right, based on those comments, you do have to worry
- 1:01:26about Cashman trading one of those guys.
- 1:01:28It'll be Jones, though, that they trade Errol.
- 1:01:31I know you don't want to hear that Dominguez is killing it
- 1:01:34right now. He's got 7 stolen bases.
- 1:01:37They're playing him in center field trying to get him to play
- 1:01:40center because obviously that's where they got to put him.
- 1:01:43If they're going to bring him up, it's Grisham.
- 1:01:45Like you said, he had two home runs last night.
- 1:01:47Let's hope he's hot in this first half and someone will take
- 1:01:50him from us so we could bring this kid up.
- 1:01:53Because I, I, it was the biggest mistake of the offseason, paying
- 1:01:56Grisham. They should have went with the
- 1:01:58kids. They should have just pieced it
- 1:01:59together till the kid was ready and then had it ready for him.
- 1:02:03He's ready to take off. He's in three, 55 with power.
- 1:02:06He's got a 995 OPS right now. He's crushing it on the Mets
- 1:02:11side of it. Errol, I thought it was Brandon
- 1:02:14Nimmo that was the problem in the Mets clubhouse.
- 1:02:16I thought that was the issue with Lindor.
- 1:02:18And then as soon as he left, he'd be back to being Lindor
- 1:02:22again. Well, Nimmo is hit in 340 in
- 1:02:25Texas, has three home runs. He's leading off for them.
- 1:02:29He's the driver of the offense. He won the game of him for them
- 1:02:32the other day. This is a guy who averaged 2.7,
- 1:02:35wore a season with the Mets. Guess what?
- 1:02:38He's already at .9 WAR in less than 20 games.
- 1:02:41He is going to have a career year and it's going to look like
- 1:02:45a whole bunch of egg on the face.
- 1:02:46They could have put him in left and put Robert in the center.
- 1:02:49They could have did that. They could have did that and let
- 1:02:51Benj get better in the minors or whatever they did.
- 1:02:54They could have had both of those guys and they were like,
- 1:02:57Nope, we're going to fix the clubhouse.
- 1:02:59I don't know. Yeah, I, I, I don't know, Sarah,
- 1:03:03say that I have more faith in the Mets than I do the Yankees.
- 1:03:07I think both teams are suffering what's going on in New York
- 1:03:11overall. They're having an identity
- 1:03:12crisis. There's no, nobody knows who
- 1:03:14they are with star players. Umm, far as the Mets, they can't
- 1:03:18hit. They pitched or were no game and
- 1:03:21lost. So I don't understand how you
- 1:03:23can have faith in in the Yankees not bouncing back, but you
- 1:03:27should have faith in the Mets bouncing back.
- 1:03:29But I think that, you know, Juan Scott is out.
- 1:03:32So obviously when you start players out, there's some issues
- 1:03:35that goes on. But overall, I think the Mets
- 1:03:38got an opportunity. They don't have a identity, so I
- 1:03:41don't think they're going to be winning no games no time soon.
- 1:03:44I will say this, and I disagree with you.
- 1:03:46I, I look at the Yankees. They're an organization that
- 1:03:48needs to win. Now I know everybody's going to
- 1:03:50say, well, the Mets, the Mets failing to do what they should
- 1:03:53have done in the playoffs last year, making the playoffs, dying
- 1:03:56down, What they did. I don't believe David Stearns is
- 1:04:00getting fired. No matter what happens, they'll
- 1:04:02fire Mendoza. They'll bring somebody better
- 1:04:04in. They'll they'll spend the money.
- 1:04:06They'll bring another superstar manager or a manager that was
- 1:04:09let go last year, that everybody, they'll bring Tony
- 1:04:12Larussa back from retirement. I I mean, that's something that
- 1:04:16Uncle Stevie's going to do. He will spend the money to bring
- 1:04:19a big name in to fill in for Mendoza.
- 1:04:22And I remember the Mets fans, for all the fans out there, they
- 1:04:25thought after what Mendoza did his first year, this guy is the
- 1:04:28guy of the future. I like Mendoza.
- 1:04:30He's better than Aaron Booth. Remember when Met fans were
- 1:04:33like, oh, this guy is unbelievable.
- 1:04:35He's even better than the manager that he the the
- 1:04:37organization that they left, the manager that he left on on the
- 1:04:41bench because he was assistant manager on the New York Yankees.
- 1:04:43I mean, come on, guys. And now Met fans are blaming him
- 1:04:47and always you have to blame somebody.
- 1:04:49To me, the problem with the Mets is they have too many
- 1:04:52personalities in the locker room.
- 1:04:54It's too many. Lindor and Juan Soto are two
- 1:04:58major personalities. Guys, these guys love each
- 1:05:01other. I mean, they're dancing and
- 1:05:03prancing around. They do their little stupid hand
- 1:05:05gestured dances and, and I'll say this, you can see that
- 1:05:09there's some kind of thing, some kind of thing going on in that
- 1:05:13dugout. Even I know Juan Soto hasn't
- 1:05:17played over the last week and a half, two weeks, but when they
- 1:05:20were when he was playing in the beginning of the season, you,
- 1:05:22you see there's something going on that you can't pinpoint.
- 1:05:27And again, I believe Peter Alonzo is not there because of
- 1:05:30Lindor and Juan Soto and I believe Nimmo is not there
- 1:05:34because of Juan Soto and Lindor. I think there's too many
- 1:05:37characters there and too many so-called leaders.
- 1:05:41Too many guys that are making too much money over there and
- 1:05:43think that they're going to run this organization.
- 1:05:45Why did they bring Jorge Polanco in?
- 1:05:47Because Lindor and Juan Soto are good friends with him.
- 1:05:50They played with each other and trained with each other because
- 1:05:52they're both from the Dominican Republic.
- 1:05:54They brought in Simeons. Why?
- 1:05:56Because Juan Soto and him trained in the offseason.
- 1:05:59And their butt buddies, Bob Bichette, well, they just
- 1:06:02brought him in because he was another bat and they failed to
- 1:06:04bring in Kyle Tucker. They thought they were landing
- 1:06:06Kyle Tucker. And what happened?
- 1:06:08Kyle Tucker flees and goes with the deferred Dodgers.
- 1:06:11This always seems to happen and when you have a rich Matt rich
- 1:06:15owner that loves to go out there and spend money or find a way to
- 1:06:18clean up the messes that his so-called Golden Boy David
- 1:06:23Stearns is, well, you see what's going on right now.
- 1:06:26It it's a big problem. But I don't worry about the Mets
- 1:06:29because I still think that their owner will go out there and
- 1:06:33spend money. He'll find a way.
- 1:06:35Guess. Who part Is it Mendoza or soda?
- 1:06:38There's no identity. I think it's Juan.
- 1:06:40So Mendoza is just a yes man guy.
- 1:06:43He comes from a Yankee organization.
- 1:06:45He's a yes man guy. He sticks up for his players.
- 1:06:47And if you notice, that's what the Mets like.
- 1:06:50They like the players running the organization over the years.
- 1:06:54Remember when Bobby Bonier was there?
- 1:06:56Does anybody remember when the Mets decided to bring him?
- 1:06:58And they're still paying that guy.
- 1:07:00They're going to be paying him longer than their Palin door.
- 1:07:02But they they give up on their superstar players that they
- 1:07:05bring up from their farm system. Brandon Nimmo, you decide to
- 1:07:08part ways with him. Then you you decide to to part
- 1:07:11ways with Pete Alonso. You don't give him $130 million
- 1:07:15for three years. Your best player, your face of
- 1:07:17your organization. Then you let Jacob degrom go.
- 1:07:20You didn't want, and I know Jacob degrom didn't want to be
- 1:07:22there. I wonder why Jacob degrom didn't
- 1:07:25want to be there anymore. Maybe it was Francisco Lindor.
- 1:07:30Maybe it was the organization bidding on players that weren't
- 1:07:33a part of the organization. They decided to part ways with
- 1:07:36the players that they built this roster around and they've who
- 1:07:40he's giving up. What happened to Noah
- 1:07:41Syndergaard disappeared. They all did.
- 1:07:44Stephen Max, he's playing for the who's he playing for now?
- 1:07:46Red Cardinals. I'm sorry, he jumps back and
- 1:07:49forth. You don't even know where he is.
- 1:07:50The problem with the New York Mets is they don't keep their
- 1:07:53young studs. They don't want to.
- 1:07:54They overpay guys that from other franchises.
- 1:07:57And to me, they take over the organization in the voice of the
- 1:08:01organization, like Lynn Dorrance Monsoto.
- 1:08:03You're wrong, Matt. Matt's shut down the Yankees
- 1:08:06with Tampa the other day. Whatever.
- 1:08:09I mean, he's been bouncing. I remember he was on the Red
- 1:08:11Sox. He's been with Saint Louis, he's
- 1:08:13been, he's been everywhere. But who ruined the Mets?
- 1:08:16What or ever since Steve Cohen? And by the way, does anybody
- 1:08:20remember Steve Mats had a decision to make?
- 1:08:23He could have came back to the Mets.
- 1:08:24Does anybody remember what happened the the Mets made an
- 1:08:28offer to him. What did he decide to do?
- 1:08:30He decided he did not want to go to that ownership.
- 1:08:33He did not want to play for Steve Cohen and he decided to go
- 1:08:35to Saint Louis because he didn't want to play with that
- 1:08:37organization. Anybody go?
- 1:08:39Go read the back end of that story.
- 1:08:41Why doesn't Stephen Mats want to come back to the organization,
- 1:08:44an organization he rooted for? He's from Long Island.
- 1:08:47He decides to go to Saint Louis or the Red Sox.
- 1:08:51So, I mean, I'm not blind. I'm not blindsided here.
- 1:08:54These aren't lies. Mets fans, you're listening to
- 1:08:56me. They're not lies.
- 1:08:57And for any baseball fan that wants to challenge me on that,
- 1:09:01I'll tell you to shove it in your what you're behind, because
- 1:09:04that's the truth. Yeah, Quickly before we get to
- 1:09:06our Golf Club, I didn't mention at the time when they did not
- 1:09:09pay to Grom and Steve Cohen, even though he had a good money
- 1:09:11pit, he was not having a good player relationship angle with
- 1:09:14guys. And it's always been a ripple
- 1:09:15effect since then. And Q, that I think that's what
- 1:09:17you were saying with the culture as well.
- 1:09:18And I think it rubbed P Alonzo and Brandon Nimmo and a lot of
- 1:09:20these other guys the wrong way. They were never staying with
- 1:09:22that organization. They were never staying with
- 1:09:25that organization. Pete Alonso was probably smiling
- 1:09:28on his way out, smiling on his way out because he goes to a
- 1:09:31young team where he becomes a leader, a smaller ballpark, a
- 1:09:34play a ball a ballpark that a lot of home runs go out of this
- 1:09:38guy when he gets hot, when he gets warm around Pete Alonso can
- 1:09:41hit. I mean, Citi Field, just one of
- 1:09:43the biggest ballparks, one of the hardest ballparks to hit
- 1:09:45home runs. This guy's hitting 5045.
- 1:09:47Now he's going to Baltimore. We got I mean labor.
- 1:09:51Torres hit nineteen home runs in one season in in in Baltimore.
- 1:09:55So could you imagine Pete Alonso's bat when he gets hot
- 1:09:58over there? I mean, absolutely ridiculous
- 1:10:00right-handed power. So my my argument here is, and
- 1:10:04I'm not taking shots of the Mets.
- 1:10:05I'm saying that the Mets have a better chance to find their way
- 1:10:08out than the Yankees because the Yankees aren't going to go and
- 1:10:11spend money. They're just not how is not
- 1:10:13going to do that. He is going he's slowly but
- 1:10:16surely transitioned his team into a business, not into a
- 1:10:20winning, you know, profile. The Yankees mentality was when
- 1:10:25George was alive is we're losing, oh, we're going to spend
- 1:10:29500 million here and 300 million there and 2200 million.
- 1:10:33And by the way, when he did that, they never won.
- 1:10:36They brought in Jason Giambi, never won.
- 1:10:38If you go Alex Rodriguez, they win 1 championship and they gave
- 1:10:42him two contracts by the way, 2, 2-3, almost $300 million
- 1:10:46contracts. If you go up and down the
- 1:10:48Yankees over the past with George Steinbrenner, he is dug
- 1:10:51deep into his pockets. Steve Cohen does that how
- 1:10:54Steinbrenner doesn't, he doesn't care about that.
- 1:10:56He cares about let's get this team in the playoffs.
- 1:10:58Hey, we as long as we make the playoffs and we make a run,
- 1:11:01that's that satisfies me. We're still bringing in hundreds
- 1:11:05of millions of dollars because everybody like me, Errol Marx,
- 1:11:08buying Yankee hats, buying Yankee jerseys, spending money,
- 1:11:12going to Yankee games, buying $10 hot dogs, $13 hot dogs that
- 1:11:17melt in my damn mouth because they don't even, you don't even
- 1:11:20have to chew it, OK? There you go.
- 1:11:22I'm just saying, I'm not talking about those hot dogs, but you
- 1:11:26know, I'm just saying, I'm just saying I, I, I'm, I'm a little
- 1:11:30lost as a Yankee fan. And for there it is.
- 1:11:33I don't again, I don't know why I have a Gray beard.
- 1:11:36I, I look like my father in that picture.
- 1:11:38May he rest in peace, by the way.
- 1:11:40Yeah, that's I, definitely. By the way, I do not play with.
- 1:11:44Rubber duckies. I do not play with rubber
- 1:11:46duckies for any fans out there. I don't even have a bathtub.
- 1:11:49I have a big beautiful shower, a glass shower that I walk in and
- 1:11:53I enjoy it. Look at Nathan, he's smirking
- 1:11:55and he's laughing. I look at him, look at him
- 1:11:58wonderful. He looks like he's in a jail
- 1:12:00cell as we. Nathan, I got to send you a
- 1:12:02picture because there's got to be some kind of transition with
- 1:12:05the background of yours. It's horrible.
- 1:12:08You look like you're in like a jail cell and Bubba's hanging
- 1:12:10out with you in the background. Anyways, by the way, we'll get
- 1:12:16into Rory McIlroy winning his back-to-back Masters
- 1:12:20championship. We'll get into Rory after our
- 1:12:23guest because Jason's going to be joining us in just a few
- 1:12:26moments. But again, for all the Yankee
- 1:12:29fans and Mets fans and baseball fans, it's early.
- 1:12:32It is early. It don't matter what the Dodgers
- 1:12:34are doing right now. We saw what the Dodge what
- 1:12:37happened to the Dodgers in the middle of the season?
- 1:12:38They got hurt, they weren't healthy.
- 1:12:40And if you don't have any health, well, then they'll just
- 1:12:43buy somebody else. That's the Dodgers.
- 1:12:45But that that's a whole nother story.
- 1:12:46I the fact here is I it's still early, but if you're a Yankee
- 1:12:50fan, you can't be happy the way this team is played.
- 1:12:53And, and, and when you, when you look at the talent and the teams
- 1:12:56that they played against the Rays, they're, they're, they've
- 1:13:00always been an organization to find a way to win.
- 1:13:03They're not an organization that should scare the Yankee fans or
- 1:13:06the Yankees. And now the Angels, there's no
- 1:13:10way the Yankees are afraid of the Los Angeles Angels, an
- 1:13:14organization that spends money for no damn reason.
- 1:13:17And now the owner's decided, hey, you know what, I'm going to
- 1:13:19build around youth. I'm going to bring a build
- 1:13:20around your talent. And nobody wants to play there.
- 1:13:24Nobody wants to go over there. No veterans want to play there.
- 1:13:27And they're, they're really getting the bottom of the
- 1:13:29barrel. They're getting all all the
- 1:13:31players nobody want. And, and they and their owner
- 1:13:34says, you know what, I don't have to spend money and throw
- 1:13:37money away on players that don't play more than 56 games in six
- 1:13:40years and pay them $200 million. So Anthony?
- 1:13:44You say that when the age is up for over top of the.
- 1:13:47Field No, I'm just saying the Yankees.
- 1:13:49I know what the score is of the Yankee game.
- 1:13:50I mention it. They were down by three.
- 1:13:53They were down 3. Nothing.
- 1:13:55The the IT shows you the Yankees aren't playing good baseball
- 1:13:58because the Yankees are losing against really bad opposing
- 1:14:02teams. And they start slow.
- 1:14:04Like they just start slow. They're not hitting in the first
- 1:14:085-6 innings, they're not hitting, but they're matching up
- 1:14:10with them. But but Q, they're putting a
- 1:14:12platoon 3rd, 3rd baseman at second base, Ahmad Rosario, and
- 1:14:17batting him third like he's Ken Griffey junior or something.
- 1:14:21And I'm just, that's great. You don't bet him third, he
- 1:14:25can't be the three hitter on your team.
- 1:14:28That's sick. That's what like the the
- 1:14:30Guardians have done for years. Oh, we'll piece it together.
- 1:14:33We don't have money. The Yankees have money.
- 1:14:35They had guys. It drives me crazy.
- 1:14:37So wait a second. So if Kendall Jenna is hot, I'm
- 1:14:40going to put her, I'm going to bat her at third.
- 1:14:42Oh, she's hot. I'm going to just put her there.
- 1:14:44That's she could probably hit. She could probably.
- 1:14:46Bunt that she's doing it. I bet you.
- 1:14:48I bet you, Kendall Jenna knows the rules of baseball more than
- 1:14:53Jazz Chisholm does. Yeah, I believe that.
- 1:14:56I believe it. I'm willing to bet you if
- 1:14:58somebody reaches out to. Her social.
- 1:15:00Media I I would bet you she knows and understands the the
- 1:15:04the rules of baseball when it comes to double place.
- 1:15:07I'm here to tell you that nothing with the last name Jenna
- 1:15:10screams education. Well, they've dated every
- 1:15:13single. Athlete we, we could.
- 1:15:14Point out if you were talking the rules of basketball, maybe
- 1:15:17they'd know, but I don't, I don't think, I don't think
- 1:15:20they'd get a baseball. They go to a lot of baseball
- 1:15:23games, by the way. They Dodger games because
- 1:15:26they're winning. No, actually, Kylie goes to a
- 1:15:29lot of Yankee games because she's.
- 1:15:31Dating with chalamet right Chalamet.
- 1:15:34And Kendall goes with her, so they're.
- 1:15:37Always. Who's at?
- 1:15:37Yankee games, they're always at Yankee.
- 1:15:39I would. I wouldn't mind.
- 1:15:40I bet they have great conversation about how many
- 1:15:42points the Yankees score. Yeah, I'm sure they take.
- 1:15:46It great. The greatest conversations.
- 1:15:49Who has the hottest wife? I don't know.
- 1:15:52The most touchdowns of of runs. You know what I would like to
- 1:15:55know? I wonder what they're speaking
- 1:15:57when they're sitting next to each other watching a Yankee
- 1:15:59game. I I could probably bet you Kylie
- 1:16:02and Kendall are talking about Aaron Judge's size in the sack.
- 1:16:06Oh, I wonder what he's batting. I wonder how long his bat is.
- 1:16:11Is it 30? 8 inches.
- 1:16:12Or 36. You know, let's get out of here.
- 1:16:15He's getting carried away now. Let's get out of here.
- 1:16:17I'm just saying, I'm wondering what they'll be.
- 1:16:20They'll be talking. There's nothing else.
- 1:16:22You just said. They don't even know what we're
- 1:16:23talking about. They just going into a baseball
- 1:16:26game and they're hanging out with Timothy, so why not?
- 1:16:30I wonder. What he's what?
- 1:16:31He's holding over there. I mean, is he batting 300 with
- 1:16:34his wife or batting 197, you know?
- 1:16:38Only smokes golf clap please. Well, somebody got a golf clap
- 1:16:42all right. My Golf Club of the day.
- 1:16:46This deserves a golf clap. No doubt.
- 1:16:48Golf clap. Golf clap.
- 1:16:52Well, ladies and gentlemen, Diana Rusini decides to step
- 1:16:57down and resign from The Athletic following the Mike
- 1:17:01Rabel story. I the photos that came out.
- 1:17:05Now, I don't know what she does in a private life.
- 1:17:08I don't know what Diana Rossini does.
- 1:17:11She likes to have fun. She's did.
- 1:17:13She's married and she likes to, you know, eat her cookie or eat
- 1:17:17millions of cookies and have her milk too.
- 1:17:19I mean, I mean, cookies are good.
- 1:17:21I, I like them. And if I'm dipping my cookie, if
- 1:17:24I'm eating a cookie, a chocolate chip cookie, I need some milk.
- 1:17:27Well, she needs more than milk and she has a, a big piece of
- 1:17:30milk in my Vrabel. Let me tell you, I, I, I'll say
- 1:17:34this, I these, these ladies, these men, they're all, they're,
- 1:17:39they're superstar guys and super guy, super girl, superstar girls
- 1:17:44in the industry, in the media. They're just as big as the
- 1:17:48athlete, especially if they have a huge following on social
- 1:17:51media. Look at Stephen A Smith, what's
- 1:17:53he got like 30 million people following him on Twitter or X
- 1:17:57and his Instagram's got 15,000,000.
- 1:17:59I don't know. I'm just picking out numbers and
- 1:18:01throwing out numbers. The fact here is if you're a big
- 1:18:04superstar and people are following you and reading your
- 1:18:06writings and your your stories and you're out and about and
- 1:18:10you're working for ESPN, you're working for The Athletic, you're
- 1:18:12working for the caveman issue of CGQ.
- 1:18:16Oh, I don't know, she's working on something.
- 1:18:18Here's the facts. If you know people are taking
- 1:18:22pictures, you know there's paparazzi and TMZ trying to find
- 1:18:26something to write about because there's nothing to write about
- 1:18:29in sports. Don't you think?
- 1:18:31Whatever you're doing in private life, you keep it inside?
- 1:18:35That would be my advice to Diana Rusini and I don't know, Mike
- 1:18:39Rabel. Mike Rabel is a happy married
- 1:18:42man. I, I'm not sure about Rusini,
- 1:18:44but what I've heard is I think she's married too, or she's
- 1:18:47getting a divorce. I don't know you, you usually
- 1:18:50would understand. This is the way it works.
- 1:18:53Stay out of trouble by keeping yourself inside with whoever you
- 1:18:58hang out with. There's a lot of athletes they
- 1:18:59have, they're married, they jump ship, they go to hotels.
- 1:19:02They have a woman in Chicago, they have a woman in Arizona.
- 1:19:06Wherever they're going, they're going to make sure that they
- 1:19:08have a sugar Mama there. Now, I don't know about media,
- 1:19:13but Diana Rusini is a bit a pretty decent looking woman.
- 1:19:18If she wants a cake and she wants to eat it too, she's going
- 1:19:20to do the same thing. So my question here is why did
- 1:19:25you decide to part ways with the Athletic?
- 1:19:29All that shows me is that you're guilty.
- 1:19:32That's what it shows me that you're guilty, that you put
- 1:19:36yourself out there and now you're trying to hide something.
- 1:19:40You don't want to deal with the media, but because that's what
- 1:19:43you do. You came out with Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:19:45I, I don't remember what it was, Diana Rusini with the New York
- 1:19:48Jets. How many times is Diana Rusini
- 1:19:50thrown The Jets organization on the bus?
- 1:19:53And Aaron Rodgers when he decided, Now I remember when he
- 1:19:55was trying to decide where he was going.
- 1:19:57Diana Rusini had the scoop. She had it all.
- 1:20:01And, and the truth is she had no idea what she's talking about
- 1:20:04and why, because Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show threw her
- 1:20:09under the God damn busts. That's what he did.
- 1:20:13She had nothing to say to Aaron Rodgers when he did that.
- 1:20:17But it shows you if you're, if you're a media person, if, if
- 1:20:21you can't take the fire, then find a find a way to find water,
- 1:20:26the distinguisher and get the hell out.
- 1:20:29You don't belong here. That's the facts.
- 1:20:32Me, I say a lot of crazy, outlandish things.
- 1:20:35I know people are not going to like it.
- 1:20:37As a matter of fact, they probably hate it and I could
- 1:20:40give a crap if you like it or not.
- 1:20:44The fact here is, if you're going to say or do something and
- 1:20:47you know the cameras are following you or the media, as
- 1:20:51you call me, a media guy is going to do something bold to
- 1:20:56get myself into trouble. Well, I know that I'm going to
- 1:20:59have to find a way out of it. I'm going to find a way out of a
- 1:21:02maze. Diana Rusini needs to find the
- 1:21:05right way, and the right way wasn't resigning from her
- 1:21:08position. Why?
- 1:21:09Because now nobody is going to want to deal with somebody like
- 1:21:12that. She can't take the fire and in
- 1:21:16in in this world and in this industry, the fire is bad.
- 1:21:21And sometimes you're going to say something stupid.
- 1:21:23Sometimes you're going to say something nobody likes or you're
- 1:21:25going to sleep with somebody that you shouldn't be sleeping
- 1:21:28with. Deal with it.
- 1:21:30Apologize, even if apologies don't always work.
- 1:21:35Just go out there and find your your presence to the media and
- 1:21:41make sure that you let everybody understand who you are as a
- 1:21:45person. Because now everybody thinks
- 1:21:47Diana Rusini is an idiot. She's guilty.
- 1:21:50And I, I mean, a lot of people going to have a lot of questions
- 1:21:53for Mike Vrabel when OTA start. They're not going to and
- 1:21:56everybody thinks that this is going to be hidden.
- 1:21:58No, it's not because now that Diana Rusini walked away from
- 1:22:01the athletic, now they know that she was guilty.
- 1:22:04She was doing something with Mike Vrabel.
- 1:22:06Who else is who else is she sleeping with?
- 1:22:08Who else is she banging? So that's the problem here.
- 1:22:12I, I, I feel that if you know that you're guilty, don't do
- 1:22:16this, don't do this, don't walk away.
- 1:22:19Be well, shit. I'm not going to say be a man,
- 1:22:22but be smart. And I would have, if obviously I
- 1:22:27would have went to my parents, I would have spoken to somebody.
- 1:22:30My PR, she's got APR person. I'm sure she got APR person.
- 1:22:33Did her PR person tell her to to walk away and resign from the
- 1:22:36athletic? That doesn't make any sense.
- 1:22:38This is embarrassing. If you would have asked me right
- 1:22:40now what Diana Rossini did, walking away from the Athletic
- 1:22:45makes her look so guilty. I wouldn't want to work her work
- 1:22:48with her. I wouldn't hire her.
- 1:22:50And this is not the first, first organization to part ways with
- 1:22:53her. I don't know if she resigned
- 1:22:54from the ESPNI think she got fired from ESPN.
- 1:22:57But I, I, I don't know, and I'm not going to quote myself, but
- 1:23:00this is 2 organizations she's been with for less than five
- 1:23:03years. What's next?
- 1:23:06I mean, The Athletic is as big as they get when it comes to
- 1:23:08reporting. And ESPN is is one of the
- 1:23:11biggest media places in the in the world.
- 1:23:14Where do you go next? Barstool, probably.
- 1:23:16Dave Portnoy is a Patriots fan. It's perfect.
- 1:23:18Well, I don't believe she's going to barstool.
- 1:23:21I don't. Podcast.
- 1:23:22She's going to get on a podcast. Do you really want to hear what
- 1:23:25Diana Rusini has or it has to say?
- 1:23:27Honestly, the only thing we should try to get her on because
- 1:23:31we want to go viral. If there's anything we need to
- 1:23:34do, we got to find Diana Rusini and get her on our show so we
- 1:23:37can get all the answers and all the questions we have.
- 1:23:39So we go viral and we say, listen, Diana, Diana, we'll,
- 1:23:44we'll hook you up with some money.
- 1:23:45We'll do what Pat McAfee does with Aaron Rodgers.
- 1:23:47We'll sip you some money under the rug.
- 1:23:49I mean, that's all. There's no way she's there's no
- 1:23:51way she's coming out and sending that on our show.
- 1:23:54We would drill it. That's why.
- 1:23:56Why not? But I mean, I don't think she, I
- 1:23:58mean, so is it wrong she retired like that?
- 1:24:01I mean, after she resigned that automatically makes her guilty
- 1:24:04or is it the right PR thing to do?
- 1:24:06Like that's just, that's the protocol in regards to when you
- 1:24:09get alleged in the scandal. Here's the right PR situation.
- 1:24:13I don't walk away the way she walked away.
- 1:24:16I do the one thing that writers do, write and post it up on my
- 1:24:21platforms, on Instagram, on X, make sure that people can read
- 1:24:25it and make sure that I explain myself right or wrong.
- 1:24:30You can find a way to beat around the Bush, and I mean beat
- 1:24:33around the Bush, something that Speedy doesn't do.
- 1:24:35But hey, beat around the Bush and then find my way out.
- 1:24:39If, if I, I wouldn't resign the way I did, what I would have
- 1:24:42done is probably waited a couple of weeks, wait until everything
- 1:24:47cools down after the draft when it's not a story.
- 1:24:50And then she, she finds an organization she's going to be
- 1:24:53interested in working with, resign from the athletic and go
- 1:24:56to that organization. And it's a smooth move.
- 1:24:59Instead of I'm just, I'm stepping away.
- 1:25:01I'm resigning from the Athletic because the athletic and, and
- 1:25:05some of the guys and some of the peers that she's working with
- 1:25:07has made her look very, first of all, made her look very bad and
- 1:25:11make her feel very uncomfortable.
- 1:25:12I don't know what they're doing behind closed doors.
- 1:25:15I don't even know if the Athletic has a place that you
- 1:25:17can hang out in an office, but it's not good.
- 1:25:19It's not good for her. It's not good for who she is.
- 1:25:23And, and as a writer, it just makes her look really, really
- 1:25:26bad. So that, ladies and gentlemen,
- 1:25:28is my golf clap of the day. So we're still waiting for a
- 1:25:34very special guest. Jason Fish says just to go to
- 1:25:36break, we'll go to the Masters if he's not in.
- 1:25:38All right, let's go to a break. When we come back, maybe we'll
- 1:25:42get it to Rory McIlroy winning his back-to-back Masters, or
- 1:25:46we'll get 13 year NBA center, former 13 year NBA center at
- 1:25:51current Monumental Sports NBA analyst Jason Smith.
- 1:25:55But first we got to go to a sportsman with Fish.
- 1:26:01The New York Sports Loud mouth sports minutes.
- 1:26:05All right guys, Aaron Fishman here with your sports minute.
- 1:26:07Couple of stories before we get into this scores this evening
- 1:26:11all right. An ESPN report on Friday gave us
- 1:26:14the sad news of the passing of former Jets quarterback
- 1:26:16grounding Nagle at the age of 57 after a battle with colon
- 1:26:20cancer. Nagle was a second round draft
- 1:26:23pick of The Jets back in 1991 and was probably more famous for
- 1:26:26the fact that he was the backup choice for The Jets in that
- 1:26:28draft after Brett Favre was taking one pick ahead of them,
- 1:26:32which is the story, if you believe the revisionist Jets
- 1:26:35history, that they wanted to draft that year.
- 1:26:38Nagel sat his first season and then went 3 and 10 in his second
- 1:26:41year with really terrible numbers, around 17 picks and
- 1:26:45seven TDs and was replaced by Boomer Saiasan in free agency
- 1:26:48the following season. Nagel did have a high profile in
- 1:26:51college after being named MVP of the Fiesta Bowl, racking up 451
- 1:26:56yards as his Louisville Cardinals upset the Alabama
- 1:26:58Crimson Tide. He also sang the national anthem
- 1:27:01before the game. He had two successful seasons in
- 1:27:05as an Arena League quarterback in 1999 and 2000 with 74 passing
- 1:27:09touchdowns before he hung it up completely.
- 1:27:12RIP from all of us here at New York Sports Loudmouth to the
- 1:27:15Nagle family. Ruben Bayne, one of the more
- 1:27:19polarizing prospects ahead of next week's 2026 NFL Draft, has
- 1:27:25heard his name in mock drafts going as high as the top five,
- 1:27:29with others more conspicuous of his arm length for the position,
- 1:27:32dropping him to the back of the top 10 or in the low teens.
- 1:27:36Well, the latest news is certain to scare some teams away and
- 1:27:40hurt Bain's stock even more as reports surfaced on Sunday about
- 1:27:45a 2024 fatal car accident in which he was the driver.
- 1:27:49Reports say that Bain was driving a 2021 Land Rover SUV at
- 1:27:534:00 in the morning in Miami with three passengers in the car
- 1:27:56on March 17th, 2020, 4 / 2 years ago.
- 1:28:00The passengers were two teammates on the football team
- 1:28:02and a Georgia woman named Destiny Betts.
- 1:28:04They suffered injuries after Bain rear-ended a vehicle,
- 1:28:07leading to the car ricocheting into multiple concrete barriers.
- 1:28:10Betts was in a coma for three months before succumbing to her
- 1:28:13injuries. Bain was cited at the time of
- 1:28:16the incident for careless driving, but charges related to
- 1:28:18Betts's injuries were dropped. Before her death.
- 1:28:21Betts family told the Read optional who broke the story
- 1:28:24that it was a tragic accident and they wish Bain the best as
- 1:28:28he continued his life and career.
- 1:28:30This report being revealed now to the public may or may not
- 1:28:33have been known by teams before this, but certainly those
- 1:28:35drafting him now have an extra set of questions they have to
- 1:28:38answer about him before making their selection next Thursday.
- 1:28:41Bain LED all of college football in pressures last season with 83
- 1:28:45guys. We are streaming live on TikTok,

- 1:30:41Listen, you got me for a little bit longer, so Speedy, you got
- 1:30:44to fix your camera, you freaking idiot.
- 1:30:47You're an idiot. Anyways, Rory McIlroy won the
- 1:30:512026 Masters, becoming just the 4th golfer ever to win
- 1:30:56back-to-back titles, joining Jack Nicholas, Nick Faldo and
- 1:31:01Tiger Woods. Rory set a Masters record for
- 1:31:04the largest 36 hole lead with a total of -12 after the first two
- 1:31:12days and had a six shot lead. He struggled during round three,
- 1:31:18shooting A plus one overall and was tied for the lead with
- 1:31:24Cameron Young at a -. 11 and only was 1 one stroke ahead of
- 1:31:30Sam Burns. He also had two bogeys in the
- 1:31:341st 6 for the first six holes of the final day and Young had a 2
- 1:31:41stroke lead until he bogey twice.
- 1:31:44Tyrell Hatton, Justin Rose and Russell Henley were also in the
- 1:31:51running with McElroy for a a lot of the the first round final
- 1:31:56round and Scotty Scheffler had an impressive last day shooting
- 1:32:01a -, 4 when he was previously in six plays.
- 1:32:05McElroy had a back-to-back birdie on holes 12 and 13 and
- 1:32:11did just enough to hold off a late surge from Scheffler, who
- 1:32:16finished at a -, 11 McElroy McElroy now ties Nick Faldo with
- 1:32:22his sixth major championship, tied for the most by a European
- 1:32:27player in modern in the modern era.
- 1:32:31Now McElroy It took him a little while to develop into the player
- 1:32:34he became. When he came, when he was coming
- 1:32:36up as a golfer, he couldn't win one of these big majors.
- 1:32:40It was a big problem for him. And yet he had to contend with
- 1:32:43an older Tiger Woods, a Phil Mickelson and and and all these
- 1:32:47different transitional players. Rose has really become a star
- 1:32:51and and they're there a lot of great golfer.
- 1:32:53Sheffly, we watched Xander Sheffly all all year play very
- 1:32:59good golf. He is, he's been one of the
- 1:33:02better American golfers in the in, in, you know, in the on the
- 1:33:07tour. I'm sorry, I'm trying to figure
- 1:33:08out my words here. And Cameron Young, he played
- 1:33:11very, very well throughout round 3.
- 1:33:14And, and again, these guys are going to come and they're going
- 1:33:17to go. And that's what's great about
- 1:33:18these big these the Masters, the US Open, all these big
- 1:33:22tournaments, especially when you're trying to win the Masters
- 1:33:26title. What stands out to me about Rory
- 1:33:29McIlroy is he knew that he was being haunted.
- 1:33:33He was. He won the Masters degree
- 1:33:36Masters championship last year and now he was moving into this
- 1:33:40tournament. A lot of people had him as a
- 1:33:42favorite. We all know Rose and Scheffler.
- 1:33:45Scheffler has been one of the better golfers, see, I believe
- 1:33:48the best golfer in the world. And as he's come out and say
- 1:33:51that golf is not as important than his family as Aaron Rodgers
- 1:33:55is taking shots at Scheffler, he's pretty damn good because it
- 1:33:58doesn't matter what tournament it is and how impressive the
- 1:34:02other guys are. He's been just as impressive.
- 1:34:04Think about this. This guy is so good at this
- 1:34:08game. Think about this.
- 1:34:10How many championships, how many titles has Scheffler dominated
- 1:34:15in over the last couple of years?
- 1:34:17He's been not only the face of American golf, he's taking over
- 1:34:21for a guy, a champion in Tiger Woods.
- 1:34:24Tiger Woods has been one of the best golfers in the world and an
- 1:34:28American and they're trying to find the next guy, the next
- 1:34:32superstar. Well, ladies and gentlemen, they
- 1:34:34finally found it. And I, I think Scheffler stands
- 1:34:37for not just a superstar golfer, a guy that not, I mean, he's
- 1:34:42been in problem, he has had problems with the law.
- 1:34:44He's we've seen some of the video on and off the golf course
- 1:34:48on some of the things that he said and he's taking and he's
- 1:34:51attacked other players, other superstars from their
- 1:34:54respectable sports. I love what Scheffler stands for
- 1:34:58because he doesn't give a crap. He's going to come out there,
- 1:35:01he's going to play hard and that I'd say, I'd say that about Rory
- 1:35:03McIlroy. For years they were wondering
- 1:35:06who he was dating. What you know who.
- 1:35:09And and again, Rory McIlroy now is married.
- 1:35:12He's got kids, he's got a life. But before he got married before
- 1:35:17and and Rory McIlroy at some points of his career, I thought
- 1:35:20he was going to retire. I thought he was going to walk
- 1:35:21away from the game but slowly but surely has has become the
- 1:35:25superstar European player that we all thought he was going to
- 1:35:28become. He, he's been in just in very,
- 1:35:30very impressive. And I, I just, I am, I am
- 1:35:34surprised that Rory McIlroy didn't and hasn't gotten the
- 1:35:39respect after the last couple of years in his dominance winning
- 1:35:43majors like this. Yeah, it's one of those things
- 1:35:45where the Masters I think hindered him from being thought
- 1:35:48of in that same light with the other thing, because he had so
- 1:35:50much of A drought. He went with all all three of
- 1:35:54the other majors going on for a long time.
- 1:35:56He won a couple of majors right away, kind of started fast like
- 1:35:58you saw with Jordan Spieth and and Brooks Cap Gun, some of
- 1:36:02these other younger golfers that and he was steady, but only one
- 1:36:06certain majors. And I think now you're looking
- 1:36:08at the Masters, him getting comfortable with that kind of
- 1:36:10thing. You saw him be able to fend off
- 1:36:12a lot of those younger guys as a result and there were a lot of
- 1:36:15good one young ones in this tournament.
- 1:36:16Talk about Burns, you talk about Cameron Young.
- 1:36:17Cameron Young had one of the best third rounds on that day to
- 1:36:20tie McElroy. McElroy may have stumbled a bit,
- 1:36:23but who's due to level out at some point?
- 1:36:24A lot of these guys at the Augusta course especially,
- 1:36:27you're due to level out. And I think you look at the case
- 1:36:31of McElroy having that kind of thing last year when he stumbled
- 1:36:34down the stretch last year, Justin Rose, him and him and
- 1:36:37McElroy went for the playoff at the end of the year last year.
- 1:36:40And it was McElroy that was stumbling up until I think Rose
- 1:36:42had a bogey. And I think that's where you had
- 1:36:45that adversity sense. Scheffler that was insane that
- 1:36:48final day. A -, 4 and some of those very
- 1:36:50difficult pots as it was, he was right there with him the whole
- 1:36:54way. And I think I think with
- 1:36:56Mcelroy's case, he just was able to do enough with not having to
- 1:36:59have a bogey until the end. And that's what makes a big
- 1:37:01difference with the adversity wise.
- 1:37:03And you're right now being up there. 6 European, six titles
- 1:37:05for a European guy tie for the most in history.
- 1:37:07He definitely has to be up there with those greats.
- 1:37:09Obviously not the greatest ever, like Nicholas or Tiger Woods or
- 1:37:12anything like that, but he's definitely in that next year.
- 1:37:16Yeah, I think as I had mentioned earlier, I want to bring to the
- 1:37:20attention to the audience that I actually called Ward to actually
- 1:37:24win this. He he actually went out, had a
- 1:37:28crazy experience in regards to how he actually played on that,
- 1:37:32that last day and whatnot. So I think Roy is pretty, he's
- 1:37:37the modern day kind of my commodity goat now.
- 1:37:39You know, I mean, I obviously he hadn't won since 2014 and but I
- 1:37:43think he has stepped his legacy with this master win.
- 1:37:46I think he went in kind of overwhelm and fatigue, you know,
- 1:37:51for the past what, 10 years or so, it's been kind of, you know,
- 1:37:53difficult for him. You've been getting there, but
- 1:37:55it just haven't been able to cross that edge.
- 1:37:57And they sealed the deal. And you can see it on that last
- 1:38:00put, as we show right here. It just was a release of, you
- 1:38:03know, all that he'd been through and all that physical, mental
- 1:38:06wear and tear that's being on this paint that it comes with
- 1:38:09plant in the. Master, I will say something.
- 1:38:11When you look at that green jacket and everybody, if you
- 1:38:15watched Happy Gilmore, it was all about the gold jacket.
- 1:38:18He tried to make fun of the Masters and it's all about the
- 1:38:21jacket. How many jackets do you have?
- 1:38:23It's pretty impressive because the, the, who gets the trophy
- 1:38:28Now, how do they hand out the trophy?
- 1:38:30The, the champion the year before is supposed to hand the
- 1:38:33champion this year the trophy and the jacket.
- 1:38:36Well, nobody handed him the trophy and nobody really should
- 1:38:39hand him the jacket because he won last year and it's very
- 1:38:43impressive. There's only three players
- 1:38:45besides him that's ever done it and Tiger Woods, one of them,
- 1:38:48Jack Nicholas, is the other. These arguably are the 2
- 1:38:52greatest golfers of all time. It's it's really, really
- 1:38:55impressive. And he he's one of, you know,
- 1:38:59and everybody thought Rory McIlroy was going to be that
- 1:39:02guy. But when he came into the PGA,
- 1:39:04there was a lot of questions. He really didn't develop.
- 1:39:07He had to how many clubs did he have to change?
- 1:39:09There were so many things that he have to do.
- 1:39:11And, and then everybody was worried about what, who he was
- 1:39:13dating. And and it was that's what's
- 1:39:16that's the problem right now in professional sports is when
- 1:39:19you're when you become such a big face in the PGA and European
- 1:39:24golf, just like over there overseas, those soccer players
- 1:39:27on European football, football players, Messi and Ronaldo and
- 1:39:30Neymar, everybody wants to know what there's those guys are
- 1:39:34going and what team they're going to be playing for in the
- 1:39:36future. Because those guys are world
- 1:39:39renowned superstars, faces of that sport.
- 1:39:42When you look at Rory McIlroy, how many foreign European
- 1:39:46players could say they're as big as Rory McIlroy?
- 1:39:49And the answer is not many. I mean, Rose is he's a European
- 1:39:53player. There's right on my Roses is a
- 1:39:56European player. Yeah.
- 1:39:57So he's a European player. Thank you, Speedy telling me
- 1:40:00where he's a European player. So when when you have European
- 1:40:04players that are trying to compete with those American
- 1:40:06players and and take the spotlight away from guys like
- 1:40:09Scheffler, who by the way, doesn't want the spotlight.
- 1:40:12He already came out and said I don't need the spotlight to play
- 1:40:15this game, this And he pretty much said this game comes easy
- 1:40:18to me. Family life is harder than this
- 1:40:21game. And that's very interesting when
- 1:40:23you see a player of that magnitude, a guy that makes the,
- 1:40:27he makes the game so easy to watch.
- 1:40:31And you have guys like Rory McIlroy that's he's, he loves
- 1:40:34the game more than more than anything in the world.
- 1:40:37Rory McIlroy is he's, he lives on the, the course he lives.
- 1:40:42He probably sleeps with his golf clubs.
- 1:40:44I mean, he's the standard, Yeah, he's the.
- 1:40:46Standard for European golf. I mean, it's, it's very, very
- 1:40:50impressive what he has done. You know what I saw?
- 1:40:52I watched most of that last round, Errol, I usually don't
- 1:40:55catch like the whole round, but it was real fascinating because
- 1:40:57Rory lost the lead early. He had the tie of the lead and
- 1:41:00he started off a little slow. Rose actually took the lead for
- 1:41:04a little bit. And Rose was would have been the
- 1:41:05second oldest guy ever to win if he did at 45.
- 1:41:09So that was that was an interesting storyline for a
- 1:41:11little bit. And Scheffler, Scheffler wasn't
- 1:41:13even close in the standings for most of the day.
- 1:41:16He just plays that. And you said it, Errol, like
- 1:41:19that Workman, like, you know, he just goes out his business.
- 1:41:22He was a little bit lower. So he got on the course ahead of
- 1:41:24the last group. So it actually benefited his
- 1:41:26style play where he didn't have that attention of being in that
- 1:41:29last grouping. And he just got to play a very
- 1:41:32quiet. It was a really quiet -4 type of
- 1:41:35a round. And by the way, it fell, he just
- 1:41:38ended up in second because everyone else was trying to
- 1:41:40catch Rory and he just played it.
- 1:41:42He didn't have to try to catch him.
- 1:41:43He was just trying to be steady because he knew if he got into
- 1:41:46the clubhouse, maybe he'd be able to get into a playoff.
- 1:41:49But Chef. But Rory was in control.
- 1:41:51By the time we got to like the 7th or 8th hole, he was in
- 1:41:53control of that last round completely.
- 1:41:55It was awesome to watch. Golf it, you have to be
- 1:41:57consistent if you want to win. You got to go through four days
- 1:42:00of grueling weather. I mean, we've seen Masters in in
- 1:42:04in rain, it's wet, it's disgusting out.
- 1:42:07You got to know the greens and we've seen guys have two really
- 1:42:11good rounds and then the third round completely fall off and
- 1:42:14they're horrible and that cost them a championship.
- 1:42:16Rory has been as consistent, especially in this tournament,
- 1:42:21since we've seen Tiger Woods do this.
- 1:42:23I mean, it's, it's pretty incredible when you look at the
- 1:42:26type of player that he has become and who did he look up to
- 1:42:29when he came into the PGA? It was Tiger Woods.
- 1:42:31Everybody looked up to Tiger Woods because of the type of
- 1:42:34star he became a world renowned superstar.
- 1:42:38And, and, and to believe it or not, when you look at Tiger
- 1:42:41Woods, Tiger Woods couldn't handle the cameras on him and
- 1:42:45being the superstar. Why?
- 1:42:47Because look at the things that he has dealt with over the last
- 1:42:49couple of years, over the last 15 years.
- 1:42:52And I would say this, Rory Mackel Roy has been up and down
- 1:42:56when it comes to the media. He, we have seen some bad things
- 1:43:00about Rory McIlroy handling the media and we've seen some great
- 1:43:03things. The fact that he has
- 1:43:05transitioned and, and, and it's helped him grow as a golfer.
- 1:43:08Because most guys when you're looked at as the king, the up
- 1:43:12and coming superstar in Europe and going to be the face of
- 1:43:15European golf and in the PGA and you didn't really develop in the
- 1:43:191st 10 years of your career really it took him like 8 or 9
- 1:43:22years. It was this 9th or 10th year
- 1:43:25where he started to play a high level of golf.
- 1:43:29It's you were thought you would think that he was gonna walk
- 1:43:31away from golf. I remember when he was, a lot of
- 1:43:34people thought that he was gonna step away from the game of golf.
- 1:43:36It was too stressful. He didn't want to deal with it.
- 1:43:39It got him depressed, but I think marrying and and getting
- 1:43:43locked in and his career and his life and started becoming a man,
- 1:43:47he's been a completely different player on the golf course.
- 1:43:50It's it's been very, very impressive.
- 1:43:52You got to give him a lot of credit because a lot of people,
- 1:43:54a lot of athletes maybe couldn't handle that pressure and really
- 1:43:58couldn't transition into the player that Rory became.
- 1:44:01Yeah, it was also hard to repeat too.
- 1:44:02And a lot of different sports. You see this with Olympic sports
- 1:44:05and unless you're like a best of the best, like you see a lot of
- 1:44:08these cross country singer skiers or one of those distance
- 1:44:10sports with track, you don't usually see a lot of those
- 1:44:13Olympians repeat. And it's the same kind of
- 1:44:14pressure with GG is the hardest burden on your mental health
- 1:44:18more than anything else. You talk about sports psychology
- 1:44:20over the years. I took a class of it in college.
- 1:44:22Qi know you've probably had sports psychologists that have
- 1:44:24mentioned this to you that it's a different if it's a different
- 1:44:27case with an individual sport than a team sport.
- 1:44:29Now you have to rally your teammates, obviously.
- 1:44:30Q And I'm sure different ways to do it.
- 1:44:32All three teams that you played for, but still in golf, you
- 1:44:36don't have anyone like that outside of your caddy and your
- 1:44:38rest of your support system. And that's what gives McElroy a
- 1:44:40lot of credit, especially having the dotty, not Dodd, but down
- 1:44:43game he had on the third round. Yeah, you got to have, you got
- 1:44:46to be able to, you know, rally yourself, as you said, and golf
- 1:44:49by yourself. I mean, it can help you, but so
- 1:44:51much you still got to go out there and swing the club.
- 1:44:53But it's definitely a total different between that and a
- 1:44:56team game. But now, shout out to Roy, man.
- 1:44:59I think he did well. He played very well and and I
- 1:45:03feel like, you know, the difference between him and Tiger
- 1:45:05is I think Tiger more so controlled the game when he had
- 1:45:09the lead and, and, and he was pretty much chasing him the
- 1:45:11whole while versus Roy where he kind of, would, you know, end up
- 1:45:15making a couple mistakes here and there that, you know,
- 1:45:18sometimes catches up with him. So yeah, shout out to Roy for
- 1:45:21winning it back-to-back very well.
- 1:45:23I think it's been done 1. Time now, butt plug.
- 1:45:27Four times. It's been done four times. 3 * 3
- 1:45:31* 3 times. He's the 4th.
- 1:45:34He's the fourth player to do that.
- 1:45:36Jack Nicklaus. I I remember it was Tiger Woods
- 1:45:39and who was the other player though?
- 1:45:41And Faldo. Those are the only three
- 1:45:42players. He's the fourth player to ever
- 1:45:44do it. It's not easy to do.
- 1:45:46I I, I remember when Tiger was at the top of his game, he won
- 1:45:49all four majors, which? In, in one year, in one year,
- 1:45:53which I don't, if I'm not mistaken, I don't think any
- 1:45:56player has ever done that before, which is very, very
- 1:45:59impressive. And that's what he's remembered
- 1:46:00as is is when he when he was dominating at the top of his
- 1:46:03game. Nobody can catch up to him.
- 1:46:06Even Rory when he came into the PGA, they were all chasing him.
- 1:46:09He was so far ahead of everybody else.
- 1:46:12And we we talk about all the great tournaments with him and
- 1:46:15Phil Mickelson, Lefty, when they went back and forth and, and
- 1:46:17when Lefty won, everybody was like, oh, he's better than
- 1:46:19Tiger. But Tiger Woods was like like
- 1:46:22500 points ahead of, you know, Phil McKesson.
- 1:46:24So it sports is, is so unique because when you look at these
- 1:46:29guys, when they, when they're young and they're up and coming
- 1:46:31and they're so talented and they come up and they're not the,
- 1:46:34the, the lead dog. They were the lead dog wherever
- 1:46:37they were playing or their college or whatever, the playing
- 1:46:40junior, junior, junior hockey or junior basketball, whatever the
- 1:46:44hell they were doing, they were that dominant.
- 1:46:46When you step with with the professionals, when you're
- 1:46:49stepping with guys that are just as good as you or better than
- 1:46:52you, it's a completely different ball game.
- 1:46:54Think about it. Q When you look at you, what you
- 1:46:56did in college football, you were one of the best pass
- 1:46:59rushers in the country. You are one of the best.
- 1:47:02I saw you on sports science. Everybody was looking at you as
- 1:47:05a top mid first round draft pick.
- 1:47:07The Jets drafted you and we all know what The Jets did to you.
- 1:47:10But what you did in North Carolina, there were two other
- 1:47:14players that were you were compared to Julius Peppers,
- 1:47:17who's one of the greatest pass rushers and Lawrence Taylor.
- 1:47:20Think about it, two of the greatest pass rushers of all
- 1:47:24time. They were comparing you 2 before
- 1:47:27you stepped on an NFL football field.
- 1:47:28I mean, that's if that's not pressure, I don't know what is.
- 1:47:31There's another one that just went to number one overall pick,
- 1:47:33Mario Williams, so it was from North Carolina.
- 1:47:34As well. Yeah, right, right, right down
- 1:47:36the road as well. Yeah.
- 1:47:37So that that person is, is it's undescribable in a sense, you
- 1:47:42know, because it's, it's really you really taking on the fact
- 1:47:45that you're playing versus your own legacy and you also playing
- 1:47:49up to the expectations and height that comes around you.
- 1:47:52And although sometimes you don't buy into the height, you still
- 1:47:55hear the height. So to be able to go out there
- 1:47:57and perform at a high level and then you also have to take on,
- 1:48:01you know, the the other team, basically game plan it against
- 1:48:05you. And if you don't know how to
- 1:48:06adjust it, that that can impact your game.
- 1:48:08Not to say that you don't have the talent, but it could just
- 1:48:10impact your game at a different level.
- 1:48:12So I understand, especially in an individual sports such as
- 1:48:15golf, you know, you got the weather, you got, you know, all
- 1:48:18those fans that's outside the rope, those different things
- 1:48:20that that the stakes are very high.
- 1:48:22And so you just chasing greatness and it's it's a
- 1:48:26indescribable pressure that comes upon you whenever you have
- 1:48:29to do that. When I was, and again, everybody
- 1:48:31asked me how did I get myself into this industry?
- 1:48:33Everybody wants to know what pushed me to drive myself.
- 1:48:38And I would say guys like Mike Francesa, Chris Russo, big name
- 1:48:41guys that were the faces of New York sports.
- 1:48:44And I look at Mike Francesa and I look at his achievements and
- 1:48:47his goals. Now he's into podcasting.
- 1:48:49But I knew in 2012, 2013, the industry was going to change.
- 1:48:54So I had to catch these guys, had to catch patch up, and I
- 1:48:57wanted to be the driving force of this industry.
- 1:49:00And I'm still trying and figuring out what makes me
- 1:49:03different from all these other guys and what makes me better.
- 1:49:06And one of the things I could say is I don't compare myself to
- 1:49:10Mike Francesa or McAfee or any of these superstar guys that are
- 1:49:13doing and are working to strive to be the best in this industry.
- 1:49:17What I compare myself is, is that I have guys that I look up
- 1:49:20to and but I want to be considered different.
- 1:49:23I don't want to ever be considered.
- 1:49:25Well, like you, when I look at Lawrence Taylor, I look at
- 1:49:28Julius Pepper because what happens is is when you
- 1:49:30breakthrough, they're comparing you to those guys automatically.
- 1:49:35You, you're being compared to two of the greatest pass rushers
- 1:49:39of this age, the era greatest of all time and you that puts a lot
- 1:49:44of pressure on you. Some people can handle pressure
- 1:49:47and others cannot. I believe I can handle the
- 1:49:50pressure, but I don't want to be considered.
- 1:49:51Hey, that's the that's the next Mike Francesco, that's the next
- 1:49:54Chris Russo or that's the next, the next crazy Craig Cardin that
- 1:49:58has an understanding of what sports is.
- 1:49:59I don't want anybody to compare me to anything because it what
- 1:50:03to me, I not that the pressure bothers me.
- 1:50:06It's it's just the fact that I don't want to be considered one
- 1:50:08of those guys. I want to be Errol Marx.
- 1:50:11I want to be the loud, crazy, rambunctious idiot that knows
- 1:50:15sports. That's what I want people to do,
- 1:50:17to consider me. And I think that when you look
- 1:50:20at Rory McIlroy, the first thing people were comparing them to
- 1:50:23when he walked on a PGA Tour was Tiger Woods.
- 1:50:27He's the European Tiger Woods. He's the face of European golf.
- 1:50:31Nobody wants to have that pressure.
- 1:50:33Nobody wants to take that pressure on.
- 1:50:35Think about what Tiger Woods, his son, is dealing with.
- 1:50:38Everybody is saying how great this kid is.
- 1:50:41He's up and coming. He's going to be the face of the
- 1:50:44PGA in the future. It looks like his father.
- 1:50:46He plays like his father, but is he his father?
- 1:50:50Nobody's going to be his father. His father transition the game
- 1:50:55of GG is what it is today because of Tiger Woods.
- 1:50:58No. And I love Jack Nicklaus.
- 1:51:00I I didn't get a chance to really watch him at his high at
- 1:51:03a high level, because when he was playing at a high level, it
- 1:51:05was early 80s and the 70s. I wasn't alive.
- 1:51:09But what I do know about what he did for golf, he drove Tiger
- 1:51:13Woods and his father mad because who are they chasing?
- 1:51:17What are they chasing? They're chasing the greatest
- 1:51:20golfer, the the title champion, the guy that stood good for
- 1:51:24everything for American golf, and that's Jack Nicklaus.
- 1:51:26That's the thing. When you're pressured and you
- 1:51:28put yourself in a situation, sometimes you don't start off
- 1:51:31strong. Sometimes you never get to that
- 1:51:33point or never get to that position because you feel, look
- 1:51:36at Ronnie James. Ronnie James got into the NBA
- 1:51:40because of who his dad is. He was drafted in the second
- 1:51:42round by the Lakers. Why?
- 1:51:44Because the lake, he told the Lakers.
- 1:51:46You draft my son? No.
- 1:51:48Yeah, generation time. Yeah, generation time.
- 1:51:51I can't let you do, Ronnie. I can't let you.
- 1:51:53Generational. Time Generational.
- 1:51:54Time really? 2 points.
- 1:51:56Have you seen him in the last, in the last five games?
- 1:51:58What I will say about the greatest part is, yeah, we're
- 1:52:02gonna do it. We're gonna do it.
- 1:52:03But listen, the part about the greatness is that if you have
- 1:52:07any type of comparison or similarity to someone, they're
- 1:52:09gonna always. Not comparable.
- 1:52:11To people are gonna always say that huh he's.
- 1:52:13Not comparable to his father, not even close.
- 1:52:16By far, yeah. Explosion.
- 1:52:17The way you get to the basket, Yeah.
- 1:52:19Dude, are we? Watching this doesn't look the
- 1:52:21same. It doesn't look the same.
- 1:52:22It doesn't look the same. I'll let you finish.
- 1:52:24What I'm saying? I'll let you finish.
- 1:52:25I'm gonna. Kill you on this.
- 1:52:27I'm gonna kill you on this. Go ahead.
- 1:52:29Yeah, OK, go ahead. All right.
- 1:52:30So, yeah. So with greatness, you know, you
- 1:52:33have a similarity. People are gonna always compare
- 1:52:35you. But what you have to remind
- 1:52:36yourself is that you don't have to be that person.
- 1:52:39You're gonna always be unique. You're gonna always show the
- 1:52:42unique talent that you have and what you bring to the table.
- 1:52:45So I think a lot of the times people guys get caught up with
- 1:52:48trying to emulate the person that they're comparing
- 1:52:51themselves to instead of just understanding that you only have
- 1:52:54the glimpse of it and you are creating your own destiny within
- 1:52:57the sport that you're in. Are you done?
- 1:52:59Let's go, let's go. Let's talk about Bernie though.
- 1:53:00Yeah, yeah. I'm cool.
- 1:53:02OK, so you just said that. What?
- 1:53:05His talent and his generational generational talent.
- 1:53:09This kid is averaging 2.9 points per game, 0.6 rebounds per game,
- 1:53:14and one point to assist the game.
- 1:53:16It doesn't matter what Bronnie James does for his future.
- 1:53:20He made his money because of who his father is and I'm sorry he's
- 1:53:256 foot 2 to brought for Le Bron who's 68 built like a truck and
- 1:53:30this kids built like a Weiner. I mean I I don't even know.
- 1:53:34I think he could fit in a bun more than his father could
- 1:53:36because I would rather eat the bun than the Weiner.
- 1:53:39Honestly. This guy stinks.
- 1:53:42He's really bad. His talent.
- 1:53:44Yeah, he's got some talent, NBA talent.
- 1:53:47If he has such great NBA talent, why did 30 something teams pass
- 1:53:51up on him? Why did everybody, if the Lakers
- 1:53:54didn't draft him, everybody said he was going to be an undrafted
- 1:53:57player playing in the G League for the rest of his life, and
- 1:53:59you're going to tell me he's generational?
- 1:54:01Please Nobody. Nobody would be.
- 1:54:04Playing him? Hold on, nobody would.
- 1:54:06Be playing. Him.
- 1:54:07No, I didn't finish. I didn't finish.
- 1:54:10I'm going to say this. You, you cut me off.
- 1:54:12And now I lost my train of thought.
- 1:54:14All right, here. Here's here's what I'm going to
- 1:54:16say. If he was so good, why did it
- 1:54:20have to? Why did it take multiple players
- 1:54:24to get hurt to play him as much as he's playing right now?
- 1:54:26Nobody wanted this kid. The Lakers probably don't want
- 1:54:30him on this. And as a matter of fact, I'm
- 1:54:32going to predict this. When LeBron decides to go to
- 1:54:35Cleveland next year or Dallas or New York, wherever he decides to
- 1:54:38go, I'm going to tell you this. He's going to take Brownie James
- 1:54:41with him because the Lakers don't want him.
- 1:54:43The Lakers never wanted this kid.
- 1:54:46Never wanted this kid. Those stories coming out,
- 1:54:50Stephen A Smith wasn't lying about that.
- 1:54:52You think he was lying about that?
- 1:54:54Stephen A. Smith, are you agree with
- 1:54:56Stephen? AI agree absolutely.
- 1:54:58That's the one thing I've agreed with Stephen A Smith 100%.
- 1:55:02If you read my story, which I sent to you all the time, which
- 1:55:06maybe you're not proofreading it or you're just sitting there
- 1:55:08claiming that you're reading it, yes, Stephen A Smith.
- 1:55:11The one thing I would agree about Stephen A Smith is this
- 1:55:14Bronny James, LeBron James. Why do you think they have so
- 1:55:16much beef? They have so much beef is
- 1:55:19because Stephen A Smith took shots at his son and said the
- 1:55:23truth, told him the truth. He doesn't say.
- 1:55:26I'm not saying Stephen A Smith doesn't tell the truth, but some
- 1:55:28of the truth is just out of outlandishly crazy.
- 1:55:31But he's not wrong about this. There's a better chance of Bryce
- 1:55:35James being somewhat of a talent like his father because he's
- 1:55:39actually 6-7 and he's closer to his father's size then LeBron.
- 1:55:44I'm sorry Brownie Junior who thinks that because of who his
- 1:55:48father isn't because he who's he's dating or what TMZ cameras
- 1:55:52going to follow him. I mean this guy got an
- 1:55:54endorsement. This guy got $3,000,000 of an
- 1:55:56endorsement money because of who his father was.
- 1:55:59He is the highest paid second round draft pick ever.
- 1:56:04Ever. Why?
- 1:56:06You're going to tell me he's better than Yokich?
- 1:56:09You're going to tell me he's better than Yokich?
- 1:56:10Yes, Nicola Yokich. If he was in the right system.
- 1:56:14Oh stop. Right system.
- 1:56:16Oh my God, dude, he can play in pee wee basketball.
- 1:56:18He wouldn't be in the right system.
- 1:56:20Nicola Yokich could play better with one eye blindfolded and
- 1:56:22it's just his left. Hand you're You're out of your.
- 1:56:24Mind. Mitchell Mitchell Robinson is a
- 1:56:27way better second round draft pick than him.
- 1:56:30No way. Yes, yes, yes, way.
- 1:56:32He's developing it, but he's developed well in New York.
- 1:56:35But Ronnie is still in the development phase.
- 1:56:38That's what I'm trying to tell you.
- 1:56:39You're judging him as if and he had to come in.
- 1:56:41I didn't say he was coming in like his his father.
- 1:56:44I'm telling you that he's showing glimpse of it and that's
- 1:56:47what I'm saying. That's the problem that you're
- 1:56:49missing. You're comparing him to his
- 1:56:51father's first year and 2nd year versus comparing him for where
- 1:56:55he's at. If he can't get in the game,
- 1:56:57guess what? He can't score.
- 1:56:58So he's not ready, if he hasn't developed yet, to get to the
- 1:57:02place that he needs to beat. He got drafted in the second
- 1:57:04round for a reason. I know you don't.
- 1:57:05You hate the, you know, Yeah. Because the.
- 1:57:07Brother had an impact on the bond.
- 1:57:09He got drafted in the second round.
- 1:57:10Genie Bus. Genie Bus drafted him in the
- 1:57:14second round. Period.
- 1:57:16It doesn't matter. But Ronnie, I'm trying to get my
- 1:57:20take. Can I get my take?
- 1:57:22You. Said a lot of things that is
- 1:57:23outlandish. You did too, and I.
- 1:57:26Didn't. So Fact Genie Bus drafted him in
- 1:57:30the second round and paid him that money, but yet you're still
- 1:57:32blaming LeBron James in regards to why he's on the roster.
- 1:57:36And that's just not true. He played a game.
- 1:57:39He played in college. He needed to be developed
- 1:57:42because he got, remember, he got he had a heart situation, right?
- 1:57:45Correct. Remember that.
- 1:57:47All right, so then he sat out, then he got drafted.
- 1:57:50Now you got to go through the development phase.
- 1:57:51Hold on. Not going to be.
- 1:57:52Hold on, hold on, he was averaging, he was averaging 2.8
- 1:57:57points per game before the heart situation he had, he States and
- 1:58:02what very young. This guy was one of the most
- 1:58:05overrated players in high school.
- 1:58:07As a matter of fact, when he was his father decided to go and
- 1:58:11play for the Lakers because he wanted his son or sons to play
- 1:58:15for one of the best private schools in the country.
- 1:58:17You know why? Because there was no way anybody
- 1:58:20was going to follow this kid because he was undersized and he
- 1:58:22wasn't any good. And you're going to come out
- 1:58:25here and you're going to tell me right now that Ronnie James
- 1:58:28needs a little bit time to develop to develop into what?
- 1:58:31He's an undersized, so-called shooting guard.
- 1:58:34OK, That's what he is a 6/2. How many shooting guards do we
- 1:58:38know in the NBA that has become elite at the at six two who
- 1:58:43doesn't have a shot by the way, Ronnie can't shoot a ball.
- 1:58:47How do you think that the dude he is a horrible shooter Drew
- 1:58:50Holiday is? Here's a one.
- 1:58:53Here's a. One no.
- 1:58:54You're telling me something that's ridiculous?
- 1:58:56I I love this Brawny debate. You know that there was an
- 1:58:59interesting thing that came out. Brawny tried to get a trademark
- 1:59:02for B9 with his jersey number and he got denied because of a
- 1:59:07Back 9 golfing company. That's where Bronny's status is
- 1:59:11at right now. He can't even get his name
- 1:59:13trademarked because of some golf clubs.
- 1:59:16It's during the Masters. It's golf.
- 1:59:18During the. Come on.
- 1:59:23Are you really pitching Bronny games to us?
- 1:59:26I'm just telling you, I know. I just think you're beating them
- 1:59:28up. I'm not pitching them.
- 1:59:29You are beating them up for no reason, dude.
- 1:59:32And I think he has more value than what you're.
- 1:59:34Doing his career, his career as a college player and NBA player,
- 1:59:38he averages all together one point 9 points per game and less
- 1:59:42than a rebound a game. So you're going to tell me that
- 1:59:44Bronnie James is any good? Please.
- 1:59:47I mean, those numbers are at least twice as good as Stephen A
- 1:59:50Smiths college numbers. So I mean.
- 1:59:53You're quoting him, He's better. You quoting him and you quoting
- 1:59:56him. Yeah, quick too.
- 1:59:58Like I said before the private shot, it happens twice a year.
- 2:00:00Errol will agree with Stephen A Smith on something.
- 2:00:02It's probably 1 of very few things I agree with him and and
- 2:00:06just think the problem between Stephen A Smith and LeBron James
- 2:00:10is because of the argument of his son because he didn't like
- 2:00:14how Stephen A Smith attacked his son on his show.
- 2:00:17Well, really. Well, don't be telling people
- 2:00:20that they should, that the Lakers should be in in better
- 2:00:24draft Bronny James. And that's what he did.
- 2:00:27He threaten the Lakers because he's LeBron James.
- 2:00:30The LJA. He threatened the Lakers that he
- 2:00:32better draft him in the second round.
- 2:00:34They were a lot of people were thinking that the Lakers were
- 2:00:37going to find a way and reach to draft him in the first round or
- 2:00:40try to move up in the first round because LeBron was afraid
- 2:00:42that somebody was going to sneak in who was going to sneak him.
- 2:00:45OK, See, nobody wants that kid. Nobody wants Ronnie James.
- 2:00:51Nobody did. You have a bet with Keith that
- 2:00:52he wouldn't go in the first round.
- 2:00:54Dude yes and I won I. Know people really thought he
- 2:00:56was going to be be taken in the first round that year.
- 2:00:58I don't know what they were thinking.
- 2:01:00They're out of their minds, out of their minds.
- 2:01:03He should have. He would have.
- 2:01:05Ronnie certainly isn't winning anything, but there's a hometown
- 2:01:08team that you wrote an article about that might.
- 2:01:10All right, ladies and gentlemen, I call this All righty then.
- 2:01:15Oh. Righty then all.
- 2:01:17Righty all, righty all. Righty.
- 2:01:22Here we are. All righty then guys, welcome
- 2:01:26back to Errol's literary segment.
- 2:01:29If you haven't been following worldwidesportsradio.com or
- 2:01:32following us on Reddit, then you don't know that Errol is also a
- 2:01:36very acclaimed author. Our website, which gets around
- 2:01:381/4 of a million people come into it every month as of last
- 2:01:42month, crushing it. You get to see all of Errol's
- 2:01:44articles, all the clips from the show and you know, some of our
- 2:01:48other interns and some of our other writers associated with NR
- 2:01:51Media, Nitin Ramachandras PR company.
- 2:01:54That don't don't forget about John from Queens.
- 2:01:56He's. Doing and John from Queens, John
- 2:01:58Pagnotta also another really good writer from us.
- 2:02:01We got some more guys I write every once in a while too.
- 2:02:04But this article, the New York Knicks are the topic of choice
- 2:02:08now with the playing games. We're going to be talking about
- 2:02:10those in a minute. The Knicks are the ones that
- 2:02:14have the nice three seed set up for them and Errol wrote an
- 2:02:17article the New York Knicks built for a championship or a
- 2:02:21Magic show where everyone disappears.
- 2:02:23I'm going to read an excerpt of the article.
- 2:02:25There are comments in Reddit that all of our listeners and
- 2:02:28fans are commenting on. If you would like your comment,
- 2:02:31read on the show, please comment on these articles through our
- 2:02:36Reddit. Right off the bat, here's a
- 2:02:37picture of the king himself, Jalen Brunson.
- 2:02:39Here's the article. The question every New York fan
- 2:02:42is asking right now, are the Knicks actually ready for a
- 2:02:45playoff run? Or are we just waiting for
- 2:02:48President Leon Rose to speed dial Milwaukee like he's
- 2:02:52ordering late night pizza for Giannis and Tedakuho?
- 2:02:55Because let's be honest, if this team flames out before the
- 2:02:58Finals, Rose is absolutely sitting there like, hello,
- 2:03:02Milwaukee. Yeah, you guys like draft picks,
- 2:03:04Role players in my emotional stability, The Brunson and Towns
- 2:03:08experiment. Championship duo or defensive
- 2:03:12traffic cones? The entire season's revolved
- 2:03:14around the duo, Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns
- 2:03:17offensively, electric defensively.
- 2:03:20Let's just say opposing guards are walking into the paint like
- 2:03:23it's a Costco sample aisle. Can you win a championship when
- 2:03:27two of your best players treat defense like it's an optional
- 2:03:30DLC? Brunton gives you 30.
- 2:03:32Town gives you 25. Opponents give you 135.
- 2:03:36That's not a formula. That's a track me.
- 2:03:39This might legitimately be the first Knicks duo in history
- 2:03:43where fans say, wow, they scored 70 combined.
- 2:03:46How'd they lose by 12? And as you keep going, you see
- 2:03:50it's a great long article. We got Josh Harden there, the
- 2:03:52disappearing magicians, you know, now you see him, now you
- 2:03:55don't. OG Ananobi, Mikhail Bridges.
- 2:03:58Some nights they look like elite two way stars.
- 2:04:00Other nights you check the box score and say wait, did they
- 2:04:03play? Did they call out sick?
- 2:04:05Are they in witness protection? You'll see two points, 1
- 2:04:08rebound, 0 aggression, 36 minutes of cardio.
- 2:04:12This roster has too many players that disappear offensively and
- 2:04:17in the playoffs that gets exposed fast because playoff
- 2:04:20basketball isn't someone step up, it's you better step up or
- 2:04:25you're going home speedy. All right, first comment is from
- 2:04:30BV 0198. Most likely the starting lineup
- 2:04:32will be blown up trading Cat and either one of OG or Bridges.
- 2:04:36Brown is most likely one more chance, unless they lose to Q's
- 2:04:39Atlanta Hawks in the first round.
- 2:04:41I would agree with you. I think Brown is on the hot
- 2:04:43seat. Everybody thinks that Mike Brown
- 2:04:44is in. He's he's doing something that
- 2:04:47only Pat Riley is done as a New York Knick coach.
- 2:04:49So BVI agree with you, but trading Cat or OG or Bridges,
- 2:04:56you got to make sure that this is going to work and you're not
- 2:04:58trading away big huge pieces for one player.
- 2:05:01Right now. The Knicks strength is their
- 2:05:03depth. You trade away your depth for
- 2:05:05one player as good as Giannis is, that could be that could
- 2:05:09spell trouble for the New York Knicks no matter who they bring
- 2:05:12in. They could bring, I don't know,
- 2:05:15Kobe Bryant, if you, if you were still elite player, Michael
- 2:05:18Jordan, any one of these guys, if they're you lose the edge,
- 2:05:22you lose the talent that you have that has really brought
- 2:05:25this didn't make team into an elite status that could cost you
- 2:05:29a chance to winning a championship.
- 2:05:32Let's go to a Giannis comments Peas Porridge 90 old New York
- 2:05:35Knicks have been triggered in the Giannis chase, but he doubts
- 2:05:37Milwaukee want to bring back Cat or OG with Cat being 31 and OG
- 2:05:41being 29. OK, so peace.
- 2:05:44I could go back and forth with this whole Giannis thing.
- 2:05:47If the New York Knicks fall short, if they fall short, even
- 2:05:52if they go to a championship and they get completely bounced out
- 2:05:56by OK C, this team is not good enough to win that title.
- 2:06:00So what do you think this team is going to do?
- 2:06:03Well, they're going to trade for Giannis and they're going to try
- 2:06:06to add pieces that are going to help them to win.
- 2:06:09Giannis is definitely going to be the hot ticket in the
- 2:06:11offseason. It's the Knicks #1 target.
- 2:06:15And if it takes OG, Mikhail Bridges or Cat to move, that's
- 2:06:19what's going to happen. And I do.
- 2:06:21I do believe no matter what the Knicks do, if they don't win a
- 2:06:24championship, you're going to see at least two of these guys
- 2:06:27go Cat OG or McHale Bridges. Two out of the three guys are
- 2:06:31definitely going to be gone. All right, a little bit of a
- 2:06:33counter argument here. Blue Dog soup.
- 2:06:36If they flame out again, somebody's taking the fall but
- 2:06:37blowing up the whole core a stretch.
- 2:06:39You don't trade OG or Bridges unless you're going to clear top
- 2:06:42five guy dot back. He does mention Giannis as being
- 2:06:44the most likely candidate, but still doesn't think the Knicks
- 2:06:47are the favorite for him. Right now I absolutely believe
- 2:06:49the that the Knicks are the favorites.
- 2:06:50Here is the facts. Giannis was being looked at by
- 2:06:54the Timberwolves. They had enough pieces to move.
- 2:06:56The Timberwolves didn't get them and the Miami Heat and Miami and
- 2:07:00Pat Riley have always been known to go after superstars to bring
- 2:07:03there as they've done over the years and that's what's helped
- 2:07:06them win or at least get them into the finals and fail to win
- 2:07:10Jimmy Buckets. We all know the whole back end
- 2:07:12story. They are absolutely the lead and
- 2:07:15you do not want to trade OG and Bridges.
- 2:07:17You trade one or the other because what they do and they
- 2:07:21brought these two players in is to to defend against Jaylen
- 2:07:24Brown. And what's it, I'm sorry, Tatum,
- 2:07:28Jason Tatum, who is coming back from an injury.
- 2:07:31If you lose both of these guys, this effects their defense.
- 2:07:34Who's going to defend those two guys?
- 2:07:37Cat Giannis is A to me, He's an in box defender.
- 2:07:41That's what he does and he's a great rebounder.
- 2:07:43It doesn't make any sense. So I like your take, Blue, but I
- 2:07:47absolutely believe Giannis is is a favorite to go to the New York
- 2:07:50Knicks. All right, next 1 from 12
- 2:07:52Doghouse 12 E 45. Time to blow it up.
- 2:07:54If they don't make the finals, how many times are going to be
- 2:07:56people are going to hold this team accountable before they
- 2:07:59fail once again? I agree with you dog.
- 2:08:01I think that the Knicks are going to be looking at this
- 2:08:04regular. I mean the what they did in the
- 2:08:05regular season at the tail end and what they do in the
- 2:08:08playoffs, the success of the playoffs, who they matched up
- 2:08:11against, how they dominate against those teams.
- 2:08:14Detroit is a team that even though they they've been one of
- 2:08:17the elite teams in all of the league this year, they're better
- 2:08:20than they lose against Detroit in the second or third round in
- 2:08:24the the NBA Eastern Conference Championship.
- 2:08:28The New York Knicks could look to move and and move superstar
- 2:08:32players like Cat and OG and Miguel.
- 2:08:35They're not going to treat Jalen Bronson.
- 2:08:37Maybe Josh Hart is on his way to go.
- 2:08:39I do believe that if the Knicks don't win a championship,
- 2:08:42they're going to blow it up no matter what.
- 2:08:44I expect them to blow it up. It's all about championship, a
- 2:08:47bus. Their window is here.
- 2:08:49They have a three-year window. NBA teams have a three to four
- 2:08:52year window and we're going into Year 3 with this window.
- 2:08:55All right last one from several molasses 435 Mike Brown should
- 2:08:58be on the hot seat. They need to make trades.
- 2:09:00This core has a second round. Stealing Brunson is not good
- 2:09:03enough to win, and he thought the Celtics got The Knicks got
- 2:09:06lucky because the Celtics just beat themselves shooting too
- 2:09:08many threes. Several.
- 2:09:09I here's the thing, Bronson is good enough to win, but you
- 2:09:14cannot have two of your best players not defending their
- 2:09:18positions, the point guard. And I would say Jalen Bronson is
- 2:09:21a top three-point guard right now in the league.
- 2:09:24And then you have Cat, who's one of the best offensive big man in
- 2:09:27the league. You could argue the best
- 2:09:29offensive big man in league. We have two guys that can play 1
- 2:09:32dimensional basketball offense and they don't really play a
- 2:09:35bona fide defensive style. You're looking at this team, can
- 2:09:39they win? I think they can win with Jaylen
- 2:09:41Bronson. I don't think they can win with
- 2:09:42Cat and Jaylen Bronson. And I do believe Mike Browns in
- 2:09:45a hot seat. If the Knicks get knocked out in
- 2:09:47the first to second round, no matter how good of a season they
- 2:09:50are, a lot of people are going to say that Mike Brown is not
- 2:09:53going to win and he's not the winning championship coach that
- 2:09:56they should have brought in. Especially yes, he's been he's
- 2:10:00played in the NBA title as an assistant and he hasn't been a
- 2:10:03coach of the Cavaliers and he's fall short.
- 2:10:06He did win with the Golden State Warriors and the Spurs.
- 2:10:09My problem here is can he do it as the lead guy?
- 2:10:12And I think a lot of fans are saying no matter how good he is
- 2:10:15in the regular season, can he take this team to the promised
- 2:10:17land and, and, and if he does, isn't going to fall short and
- 2:10:21not be able to handle the pressure that he has in New
- 2:10:24York. All right.
- 2:10:27Now I will say this, Speedy, you are, you've been horrible when
- 2:10:30it comes to the music. Get the music and actually
- 2:10:33somehow, if you want me to do that, I'll mix it because it
- 2:10:37shouldn't be jumping from one thing to another and not be able
- 2:10:40to go from the song. It doesn't make any sense.
- 2:10:42It's been horrible. So if you need some help over
- 2:10:45there, I can help you. Just like your picture.
- 2:10:47I want to let everybody know Speedy was so worried about what
- 2:10:51was going on in the other show before our show that he he
- 2:10:54didn't test his camera and that's why his camera is a
- 2:10:57little blurry tonight. So if anybody wants to ask me
- 2:10:59what's going on with Speedy's camera, it's him.
- 2:11:02It's the great Speedy PD who doesn't listen to me, who likes
- 2:11:06to argue his points, but argue his points in the wrong fashion.
- 2:11:10Because now tonight he looks stupid because I told him before
- 2:11:15the show to do this and do that, and he didn't listen to me.
- 2:11:17So for all you fans out there wondering if I'm a good leader,
- 2:11:21I'm a great leader. It's just we have soldiers that
- 2:11:25like to listen to himself. That's what he likes to.
- 2:11:28Do anyways a lot of hate mail behind speeding.
- 2:11:30No, there's no hating. It's it's just facts.
- 2:11:32No, you don't get a lot of hate mail.
- 2:11:33No hate mail. Ohh.
- 2:11:34Whatever it's it's true. It's facts.
- 2:11:37Speaking of facts, the NBA playing games begin tonight with
- 2:11:41the number 10 seed Heat facing off against the number 9 seed
- 2:11:45Hornets. Right now, the Hornets have the
- 2:11:486th best record in the NBA since January 1st, while the Heat set
- 2:11:52a franchise record for most total points in a season, even
- 2:11:57more than their teams that won the NBA Championships and NBA
- 2:12:02Finals. The second game tonight will
- 2:12:04feature the number 8 seed Trail Blazers facing off against the
- 2:12:08number seven seed Suns. The Trail Blazers are the 9th
- 2:12:13are ninth in the NBA as far as getting to the free throw line,
- 2:12:17while the Suns have the six best overall defense in the NBA.
- 2:12:22The 10th, the number 10 seed Warriors will face off against
- 2:12:25the number 9 seed Clippers. The Warriors had their worst
- 2:12:29offensive season in the Steph Curry era, ranking 22nd in the
- 2:12:34NBA, while the Clippers have also been hot since January 1st
- 2:12:39after having the worst record in the NBA at one point.
- 2:12:43The last game features the number 8 seed Magic taking on
- 2:12:47the number seven seed Sixers. The Magic are the 4th are fourth
- 2:12:51in the NBA in perimeter defense, while the 76ers are second in
- 2:12:56the NBA as far as getting to the free throw line.
- 2:13:00All numbers that nobody gives a crap about.
- 2:13:03So for all the fans out there, that is not me giving you that
- 2:13:07take. I'm going to go from game to
- 2:13:10game and I'm going to give you my honest opinion.
- 2:13:13First game of the night is the Charlotte Hornets and the Heat.
- 2:13:18Charlotte Lamilla Ball, the talent they might have the
- 2:13:21rookie of the year. Charlotte might have the rookie
- 2:13:23of the year playing on this team and this roster at one of the
- 2:13:26best young 3 point shooters in the NBA today right now.
- 2:13:32And he's going to be fighting with Cooper Flag to win that, to
- 2:13:35win that MVP rookie of the year, whatever you want to call it.
- 2:13:40The Hornets, to me, are better than the Miami Heat, the second
- 2:13:46tier offense that they're bringing, Bam Auto Bio's great
- 2:13:50Tyler Heroes. There's not enough depth on this
- 2:13:54Heat team. This is not the same Heat team
- 2:13:56with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.
- 2:13:59Even when Jimmy Buckets was there and they were building the
- 2:14:02team around him and they had Bam Auto Bio and Tyler Hero and all
- 2:14:06the talent that they had when they went to the Finals, when
- 2:14:09they knocked off the Boston Celtics.
- 2:14:10I'd love to add that because I know Q is a Celtic fan.
- 2:14:14Oh boy. But here's the facts.
- 2:14:17I think the Hornets, the Hornets are one of the more dangerous
- 2:14:21young teams right now going through the playing games and if
- 2:14:26they knock off the Heat and Heat's going to be very, very
- 2:14:28hard. They have a great all world
- 2:14:30coach. I think obviously we we can
- 2:14:32argue that they have the best coach in the NBA.
- 2:14:36What I seen the Hornets do this year, young, up and coming, fun
- 2:14:41to watch. These guys are together.
- 2:14:43This is the first time we don't hear Lavelle.
- 2:14:46What is, what's his name, Ball Lavar.
- 2:14:49Ball Laval Lavar him talking about his big ball or whatever
- 2:14:53the hell is bowling sneakers or his hats, which by the way,
- 2:14:56completely fallen. I don't even think they they
- 2:14:59sell those hats, sell those those sneakers anymore.
- 2:15:03What do they call that? What?
- 2:15:04Was the baller brand Big baller? Brand.
- 2:15:07Nobody cares about. Yeah, nobody cares.
- 2:15:10They haven't sold enough and I'm surprised they're still around.
- 2:15:14The to me, what the Charlotte Hornets have done this year,
- 2:15:16especially in the second-half of the season, has proven that this
- 2:15:19team can come from nowhere and become something they they
- 2:15:23drafted a kid. He was the 4th pick of the draft
- 2:15:26and and has become such a face for this organization.
- 2:15:30And I know he's a Duke Blue Devil and I like to give Duke
- 2:15:34fan, Duke fan something to cheer about.
- 2:15:36They've got one of the Canoople is is a sensational player.
- 2:15:40He's sensational and I think he's not only up and coming, he
- 2:15:44might be one of the faces of American basketball in the
- 2:15:47future. This guy can shoot.
- 2:15:48I'm not saying he's Steph Curry, but his shot is so relentless.
- 2:15:52He's got such a sweet touch at the three-point line.
- 2:15:56I, I think the Charlotte Hornets are as dangerous as any team
- 2:16:00right now going into the playoffs, even as what is that?
- 2:16:04What are they a ninth seed? I I think there is dangerous any
- 2:16:07if they can get out of this playing game heats, the Heat's
- 2:16:10very dangerous because they've been here.
- 2:16:13They've got a great coach that I believe the Heat can come out of
- 2:16:16nowhere and and beat a young Charlotte team.
- 2:16:18But I don't think it's going to happen this year.
- 2:16:20I think they're fun to watch. So we'll go from game to game.
- 2:16:23I think Charlotte is the better team.
- 2:16:25I think they have two young studs.
- 2:16:27I think their bench, they have got a great depth on their bench
- 2:16:30and I think their coach has proven I I would say their coach
- 2:16:33is up for a coach of the year. He's had a sensational year.
- 2:16:35Yeah, they're one of those teams teams that they lost one playing
- 2:16:38game and they still ended up winning the second one and still
- 2:16:40going into the NBA Finals as the AC when they beat your Celtics.
- 2:16:43Q But they don't have that luxury this year.
- 2:16:45They're one and done if they don't fend off a top Hornets
- 2:16:47team because the Hornets, they shoot threes like crazy.
- 2:16:49They have an offensive efficiency rating that's very
- 2:16:51high. And Miami's got the same defense
- 2:16:53they once were either. They've tried to patch it
- 2:16:55together. Like you said, Errol Spoelstra
- 2:16:57scheme is as good as it gets defensively.
- 2:16:58But again, you could only do so much when you don't have Jimmy
- 2:17:00Butler there anymore for a full season.
- 2:17:02You brought a Norman Powell Goodman good this year, but they
- 2:17:05don't have a lot of other guys beyond and they can only patch
- 2:17:07so much together in an Eastern Conference that really got deep
- 2:17:10all of a sudden. It's the same kind of thing in
- 2:17:11the NHL. What's the NHL playoffs on
- 2:17:12Thursday? The East was so top heavy for
- 2:17:14all of a sudden for a while. Then your Hawks got hot queue,
- 2:17:17the Sixers got hot and my and the and the Charlotte Hornets
- 2:17:20got hot. And now you're looking at those
- 2:17:21teams as young teams that are hungry and have nothing to lose.
- 2:17:25And if the Hornets can get any level of defense, this is
- 2:17:28definitely a team that could be pesky in the first round for
- 2:17:31anybody. Yeah.
- 2:17:33Who? Who's Steve Clifford?
- 2:17:35Who is he under? What coaching umbrella is he
- 2:17:37under? Anybody know?
- 2:17:39I am. Not Sir.
- 2:17:40Clifford's been. He's been an assistant coach in
- 2:17:43the NBA for a very, very long time.
- 2:17:45I mean, he's bounced around here recently.
- 2:17:47He's. Been in a couple, he's been on a
- 2:17:48couple. I what would speed give me?
- 2:17:50I think it was a. Van Gundy Tree A Van Gundy.
- 2:17:53Tree. So I would say Pat Riley tree.
- 2:17:57That's pretty much because that's where Van Gundy comes
- 2:17:59from. The Tom Thibodeau.
- 2:18:00It doesn't matter what tree he comes from because to me what
- 2:18:04his his understanding how to develop young players.
- 2:18:07Van Gundy had problems developing Stan and Jeff have
- 2:18:11problems developing young players.
- 2:18:13So in basketball, it's not like the NFL.
- 2:18:16Oh, what tree is he under? It doesn't really matter because
- 2:18:19if you would say that you look at great Popovich tree.
- 2:18:22A lot of these guys were great regular season coaches.
- 2:18:24Were they that really, I know what Steve, but Steve Kerr went
- 2:18:28to an old World Team, a young Steph Curry, a young Klay
- 2:18:32Thompson, a young Draymond Green.
- 2:18:34It doesn't matter about what tree he came under.
- 2:18:37I, I think what's impressive is how you develop these young
- 2:18:40players and how they follow you. So I, I disagree with you.
- 2:18:43I now I'd like to hear your take when it comes to trees, because
- 2:18:47basketball trees mean nothing. Yeah, it means a lot, and it
- 2:18:51means. And depending on who you come up
- 2:18:52under would dictate your future. And we've seen that on numerous
- 2:18:56occasions. Yeah, give me one.
- 2:18:58Charlotte. Charlotte Harlot, huh?
- 2:18:59Give. Me one.
- 2:19:01He's come under Pat Riley and he just turned these kids around,
- 2:19:04right? What are you talking about?
- 2:19:05Who you talking about Spoelstra? Yeah, all.
- 2:19:08Right. Spoelstra been there forever.
- 2:19:10Spoelstra's been. There, but no, I was saying he's
- 2:19:12he's been there for I'll talk about for the Miami Heat, but
- 2:19:15he's had success, correct. Yeah, he's a success.
- 2:19:18I mean also. Coach his success, his successor
- 2:19:21talent OR do you consider? Talent, talent.
- 2:19:24He's a great. Coach, but look who he coached.
- 2:19:27LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh at the at a high
- 2:19:31level, and he had Ray Allen as a secondary player.
- 2:19:33Pretty damn good. Miami.
- 2:19:35I think I would have won. Championship title in the used
- 2:19:38to conference championship. Damn it.
- 2:19:40Every year, right? Let me ask you a question now.
- 2:19:43Spoelstra was the coach. I got a question for you.
- 2:19:45I got a very good question. When Pat Riley, when Pat Riley
- 2:19:50came to the Heat and when Shaq came to, he was traded or he
- 2:19:55went to the lake from the Lakers to the Heat, what did Pat Riley
- 2:19:58do? What did he do?
- 2:20:01He was the GM of the team. He was running the organization.
- 2:20:04What did he do? Won the championship.
- 2:20:07What did he do? He became, He went from the GM
- 2:20:09to head coach, did he not? Did he not do that?
- 2:20:13OK. And who took over after that?
- 2:20:18OK, so if he trusted Spoelstra that he can win a champion
- 2:20:22championship with an aldershack and a young Dwyane Wade,
- 2:20:27wouldn't you think he would have brought Spoelstra in right away
- 2:20:30to coach that team? I'm not saying Spoelstra is not
- 2:20:31great. Spoelstra, to me, he's done a
- 2:20:35fantastic job as a head coach. I think he's one of the best
- 2:20:38coaches right now in the NBA, but it took him a.
- 2:20:41While it took a long while. But Q but.
- 2:20:45Q He also got better after even LeBron left too.
- 2:20:48If he trusted Spoelstra for such a long time, why didn't he?
- 2:20:51Why didn't he become the head coach of that Dwyane Wade
- 2:20:54Shaquille O'Neal team? It don't matter Wendy became he
- 2:20:57came when he was hired to be the head coach.
- 2:20:59It don't matter if he did. He was there as an assistant for
- 2:21:02such a long time. Quality control coach or
- 2:21:05something? Like that yeah, so that makes a
- 2:21:08difference so I don't understand why he get he get knocked he
- 2:21:11doesn't matter because. I'm looking at the NBA.
- 2:21:13You're telling me because you're telling me trees.
- 2:21:16You're looking at trees. You're comparing these guys for
- 2:21:19where they come up in the trees. I'm going to tell you this.
- 2:21:21In the NBA, there is no comparison by looking at what
- 2:21:24these what these guys were grown up as, as on the tree.
- 2:21:27That means anything. It's all about talent in the
- 2:21:29NBA. It doesn't matter about trees.
- 2:21:31Errol Maybe not a tree, but you make a good point.
- 2:21:34Q Like at least I think your point, Errol, is that Spoelstra
- 2:21:38It's not about a tree with him, but I think it's about something
- 2:21:41else. It's about Pat Riley taking a
- 2:21:43shine to him. That's what it is.
- 2:21:45Pat Riley decided this is the golden child.
- 2:21:48I'm going to give him all my knowledge and look at what
- 2:21:50happened. This is a rare thing.
- 2:21:52Spoelstra not you don't see guys get lumped.
- 2:21:55Like it's kind of almost like a Parcells Belichick thing, You
- 2:21:58know where it's like, this is going to be the guy.
- 2:22:00I'm going to train him. And I'm going to tell you how
- 2:22:02you're wrong about that to hear this.
- 2:22:04He trusted in Jeff Van Gundy to take over the New York Knicks.
- 2:22:07Did he win? Did he win?
- 2:22:09Hold on to say yes or no. Yes.
- 2:22:12How about this Sam Van Gundy? He was also on the bench of that
- 2:22:14team. Did he ever win?
- 2:22:16How about this Tom Thibodeau? Did he ever win?
- 2:22:19Spoelstra got LeBron James, Dwyane Dwyane Wade and Chris
- 2:22:24Bosh in the primes of their career.
- 2:22:26That's when he won. So you're going to sit here and
- 2:22:28you're going to tell me, well, he trusted him.
- 2:22:30He trusted in a lot of guys and all of them failed.
- 2:22:33So you're wrong. It doesn't matter.
- 2:22:35About that ain't failing. It's not.
- 2:22:38The same. I'm telling you that the NFL is
- 2:22:41different from the NBA. You do.
- 2:22:43It doesn't matter. About tree football and
- 2:22:44basketball, it should. Be you're right, that tree
- 2:22:46doesn't mean anything. But.
- 2:22:48Riley left it, wouldn't we? Know Riley left like a coward
- 2:22:52though, in the middle of the night.
- 2:22:53That was the thing Riley left he didn't like.
- 2:22:55That's the Knicks. Fault.
- 2:22:55Gundy, That's the Knicks. That was, well, maybe it is the
- 2:22:58Knicks fault. I'm not going to say it wasn't.
- 2:23:00There was a lot going on with the Dole, like I think it was
- 2:23:02Dolan's father back then. But what he's done here, this
- 2:23:07was literally like, like kind of like like a Kung Fu movie.
- 2:23:10This is my protege. He's the sensei.
- 2:23:13It was something like that. And he trusted him with LeBron.
- 2:23:16He proved him right because he was successful with LeBron.
- 2:23:20And then, although they haven't won, has anyone ever complained
- 2:23:23about his coaching since then? Nobody's saying that Spoelstra
- 2:23:26is not good. It's not.
- 2:23:28About his strength. No, Yes, when he won those
- 2:23:30championships had everything to do with talent.
- 2:23:33Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
- 2:23:34Here's how I'm going to point that Spoelstra had no, it had no
- 2:23:38understanding of what this team was going to be.
- 2:23:40The first year LeBron went there with that talent, Where did they
- 2:23:43go? Where did they go?
- 2:23:46The. First year they lost in the
- 2:23:48finals. They went to the finals against
- 2:23:49and the lost against The Mavericks.
- 2:23:51OK, they lost against The Mavericks.
- 2:23:53Now, don't you think because he's such a great coach he
- 2:23:56should have won that championship you go all the way
- 2:23:58to? Dallas doesn't mean you win it
- 2:24:00every time. The fact here is the fact here
- 2:24:03is it has nothing to do with the tree.
- 2:24:05He developed into a great coach, yes, but you're going to tell me
- 2:24:08Pat Riley's coaching his tree has been successful?
- 2:24:12No. How about this?
- 2:24:13Greg Popovich's tree is successful because he had Steve
- 2:24:16Kerr. But Steve Kerr decided not to
- 2:24:18take the Knicks job because he didn't want to coach the New
- 2:24:21York Knicks because they had no talent there.
- 2:24:23He went over there to Golden State because he knew that Mark
- 2:24:26Jackson had this team playing, but not playing offensively at a
- 2:24:30high, at a high level. I'm telling you, it's a fact.
- 2:24:33But give them credit. So four time champion just just
- 2:24:37fell in line. Talent.
- 2:24:38Yes, NBA is all about talent. Yes, yeah, you don't.
- 2:24:42You don't see the schemes, you don't see the the half court
- 2:24:45teams. You think they just out there
- 2:24:47just run around? Do you know that?
- 2:24:49You don't know do you know? Do you know to get those 3
- 2:24:53pointers? Do you see the down screens?
- 2:24:56I'm going to tell you do. You see the black door passes.
- 2:24:58Do. You see how he set up Klay
- 2:25:00Thompson for the three. I'm just understanding, like you
- 2:25:03should make it seem like these guys just show up and just shoot
- 2:25:05the basketball and it just works in a favor and they just win
- 2:25:08championships. That is not it.
- 2:25:11Yes, You don't have to give them all the credit.
- 2:25:14But see how I let you talk just. So, you know, you see how I let
- 2:25:16you talk. Yeah, you just interrupted me.
- 2:25:18OK, yeah, I interrupted you because you're completely wrong.
- 2:25:21You're completely. Most NBA teams run 5 plays
- 2:25:25offensively and and, and really two defensive style of defenses.
- 2:25:29Yes, they either play the 2332 or they play zone or they play
- 2:25:33man. That's what the teams do.
- 2:25:34They don't change the defense around.
- 2:25:36It's not the NFL where you have all these different styles of
- 2:25:40defense that you can run, dime, nickel, all this garbage.
- 2:25:44It's different. No, it's not.
- 2:25:47No, it's not. It is.
- 2:25:49No, it doesn't. It's everything to do with
- 2:25:51talent. It's everything to do with
- 2:25:53talent. You're going to tell me right
- 2:25:54now if you run, if you're a great coach and you run a great
- 2:25:58system, you if without talent, you're going to win a
- 2:26:00championship in the NBA. Because if this, no, who who's
- 2:26:05done it? Who's done it?
- 2:26:06Who's done it? Who's done it?
- 2:26:09The Clippers won the Tyron. Who won it?
- 2:26:10Who's done it? Who's done it?
- 2:26:13Stop. You're trying to sell me the.
- 2:26:15Person never won a championship. Please stop you're.
- 2:26:19Arguing I meant Raptor Raptors. The Raptors, they had Kawhi
- 2:26:22Leonard. They had to.
- 2:26:25That's it, That's it, Kawhi Leonard.
- 2:26:28They're first of all, as far as their team in their roster, the
- 2:26:33Raptors had probably the most depth, especially throughout the
- 2:26:36playoffs. They were the best bench team in
- 2:26:38the playoffs that year. And this guy took 3 Golden State
- 2:26:41Warriors to go down for them to win?
- 2:26:44Sure. Yeah, they also had OG as like a
- 2:26:46bench player on that team, which was incredible how deep they
- 2:26:49were. I agree with SO.
- 2:26:51I think I with both of you and part of both of your arguments
- 2:26:55personally, I, I don't think it's a tree in basketball, but I
- 2:26:58also think if I was coaching basketball and I called every
- 2:27:01single play of the game and like I do in a football game, the
- 2:27:05guys wouldn't listen to me by like the fifth time.
- 2:27:07But in football you're supposed to listen to the coach.
- 2:27:09I mean, the coach may give you some freedom to call things, but
- 2:27:12it's way more coach intensive in football than basketball.
- 2:27:14I agree with you on that, Errol, But I, I, you know, look.
- 2:27:18They've been on the team because if you look at Boston Jones, go
- 2:27:21to that every time out. Are you going out different days
- 2:27:25so. This is the first year.
- 2:27:28This is the first. This is the first year that Joe
- 2:27:31Missoula, I could say, actually had a good coaching year.
- 2:27:34Yeah, absolutely. He said he had to finish.
- 2:27:37That's his second in his coaching tenure.
- 2:27:40That is a Celtic fan, ladies and gentlemen, A Celtic fan.
- 2:27:43This is coming. No, I'm just telling the truth
- 2:27:46at this point. That's your truth.
- 2:27:48This is Gore basically saying don't put a coach on the bench
- 2:27:51and let the players go out there and play and they watch it get
- 2:27:53done. That's not it.
- 2:27:55That's not going to happen. That's what you're selling.
- 2:27:58No, that's what you said. Oh, you're selling it.
- 2:28:00I'm telling you, that's a bag of.
- 2:28:02Garbage. That's a bag of garbage.
- 2:28:04It's like happy, I'm sorry, Billy Madison going to a, you
- 2:28:07know, going up, you know, to a door, knocking on a door and
- 2:28:10putting a bag of crap at the door because they think he
- 2:28:12thinks somebody's going to step in it.
- 2:28:14What a bunch of garbage. This is a bunch of garbage.
- 2:28:17This is that's what it is because the honest God truth,
- 2:28:20and I'm going to go back to it because I want to get into these
- 2:28:23games and I want to finish. Up.
- 2:28:24Yeah, let's. Go with this.
- 2:28:25My argument here is it don't matter about the system.
- 2:28:29It doesn't. It matters about the talent.
- 2:28:32That's what it's always been in the NBA.
- 2:28:34So why do they draw players league?
- 2:28:36Why in the last? Who draws up the play?
- 2:28:39On 18th of a second you got an out of bound place and you try
- 2:28:41to win the game. They actually run a play.
- 2:28:44Why would you do that? All you got to do is give it to
- 2:28:46the star. He's going to shoot it.
- 2:28:48No, tell that to. Everybody needs a coach, Phil
- 2:28:50Jackson, Jordan. Jordan tells people all the time
- 2:28:55that he needed Phil Jackson. He needed that team.
- 2:28:58He's the greatest of all time, so he's the greatest that needed
- 2:29:01a coach for everybody else to just show up and shoot, show up
- 2:29:04and. Let me ask you a question.
- 2:29:06Let me ask you a question. When Michael Jordan retired, how
- 2:29:09many championships did Phil Jackson win with the Chicago
- 2:29:11Bulls? After he left, he went no, he
- 2:29:15didn't win none. He.
- 2:29:15Didn't win. None.
- 2:29:16Did he ever play in the finals without Michael Jordan?
- 2:29:19Did he ever win? That's not my question.
- 2:29:22Answer the damn question. Answer the damn.
- 2:29:25Question. Answer the question Did he ever
- 2:29:28play in the finals without Michael Jordan?
- 2:29:31I think they did one time with Dennis Trotman, right?
- 2:29:33No, no. They never did.
- 2:29:35What's the Eastern Conference finals?
- 2:29:36Are lost Dennis Rodman Dennis Rodman.
- 2:29:39Dennis Rodman. Got account for something?
- 2:29:41Dennis Rodman didn't come to the team until Michael Jordan came
- 2:29:43back. It was Scottie Pippen and
- 2:29:45Michael Jordan that. Talked Scottie Pippen talk.
- 2:29:48Yes, spoke. Yes, Scottie Pippen and Michael
- 2:29:50Jordan that spoke to the organization and bringing Dennis
- 2:29:54Rodman because the organization didn't want to bring a crazy guy
- 2:29:57that dresses like a drag queen and acts like a complete idiot
- 2:30:01all over social media. OK, well, there was no social
- 2:30:04media. Newspapers Newspapers At the
- 2:30:06time there was no social. Just the same guy that put icy
- 2:30:09hat on his balls. Yeah, he did a lot of Yeah,
- 2:30:11that's that's me. That's me, I said to the people
- 2:30:14for doing the. One and only.
- 2:30:16And you did something like that? The one and only.
- 2:30:18He did it. He did it on our friend Jeremy
- 2:30:20Mince. He's like third time on the show
- 2:30:22and he got like some freaked out.
- 2:30:23That's. What I'm saying?
- 2:30:24Hey listen, you did. These guys and he would have
- 2:30:27judged Dennis. Well, it just shows you how much
- 2:30:28bulls you have, buddy, because you wouldn't do it.
- 2:30:33You wouldn't do it. Have desire to.
- 2:30:35You don't have desires because you won't take a bet, and you
- 2:30:38won't win and argue a bet because the fact.
- 2:30:41Here is push up bet. The push up bet, that's an easy
- 2:30:44bet, dude. That's an easy bet that's not.
- 2:30:46There's nothing impressive about doing push ups.
- 2:30:49They do it every day. Yeah, but let me finish with
- 2:30:51Charlotte, though. Charlotte is a great team.
- 2:30:53They definitely probably the most improved team this year,
- 2:30:56but I don't think they're going to make it past the heat tonight
- 2:30:59unless Bam never shows up. But I think he did come back.
- 2:31:03But the Heat just got too much experience there.
- 2:31:04Well coached team, although NBA team don't need coaches, but
- 2:31:08they're well coached team and I do.
- 2:31:10I don't think that Charlotte has enough.
- 2:31:12They did have a good run this year and it's going to be well.
- 2:31:14But overall, I think Miami Heat pulled it, pulled out on this
- 2:31:18one and then next year I think when it may have a chance of
- 2:31:22making the playoffs. Yeah, Charlotte, I think is
- 2:31:24something that you look at, there are three points shooting
- 2:31:26bonanza. It's the wave of the league now
- 2:31:27their defense, it's a matter of time if they can actually get it
- 2:31:30going. But I think with the experience
- 2:31:33that that the Heat has, they're going to make it pesky.
- 2:31:35I just don't think Q, they're the same defensive team that
- 2:31:37they used to. Be how many times did you fall
- 2:31:39in your head today? I mean, honestly, I think you,
- 2:31:42you might have fell in your head maybe six or seven times today
- 2:31:44because you're, you're completely out of whack today.
- 2:31:47But go ahead. No, I don't believe that it.
- 2:31:49I don't. I don't think that my Miami do
- 2:31:53anything in the postseason even if they do beat the shot owners
- 2:31:56and solidify playoff spot. I don't.
- 2:31:58Think they do. I just don't think.
- 2:32:01Charlotte has an opportunity to actually do anything or get
- 2:32:05because of the ball play and because he plays so wild.
- 2:32:10I just think it's so unpredictable that they can
- 2:32:12actually contend and guard that because it's just so
- 2:32:15unpredictable. All right, so the Trail Blazers
- 2:32:17facing off against the Suns, 2 teams that I didn't believe
- 2:32:21we're going to be here. You think about Kevin Durant, he
- 2:32:25parts ways with the organization.
- 2:32:26He goes to Houston and then Portland.
- 2:32:29I mean, with everything what happened with Bill UPS going
- 2:32:33into the season and and all the craziness that's happened,
- 2:32:36Henderson has really not developed into a player that
- 2:32:39they thought they were going to build their team and their
- 2:32:41organization around. I I'm very shocked that the
- 2:32:45Trail Blazers in the second-half of the season has played at such
- 2:32:48a high level. They really have played very,
- 2:32:49very well. I would never have thought that
- 2:32:51these two teams would be in the position that they are.
- 2:32:54We understand what the Suns have been as an organization over the
- 2:32:58last couple of years. They were right there.
- 2:33:00They were on a cusp. They at 1:00, we're in the
- 2:33:03Finals, so it's not like they can't get there.
- 2:33:06They just don't have the talent right now.
- 2:33:08And the Trail Blazers, whoever wins this, this series is
- 2:33:11probably going to get knocked out in the first round.
- 2:33:13Whoever they're matched up against, this is a playing game.
- 2:33:16They play what, three games? The best out of three?
- 2:33:18The winner moves on. So it's not best of three.
- 2:33:20So. So the loser gets to play the
- 2:33:22winner of the Clippers Warriors game.
- 2:33:24Well, didn't they have the best out of three at one time?
- 2:33:27So they never. So that's, I think that the NBA
- 2:33:33needs to fix this because you work so hard.
- 2:33:36You work so hard to play in these playing games and one
- 2:33:39game, one loss. I know this.
- 2:33:41You're going to say the NFL does it.
- 2:33:42This is different. It's all about competition.
- 2:33:45You want to sell, you want to sell jerseys, you want to sell
- 2:33:48out stadiums. You, you want to see these guys
- 2:33:51earn. You have to.
- 2:33:52I would play 3 games and the best out of three.
- 2:33:55That's what I would do. So Errol, just let me break it
- 2:33:58down for you because you might actually like it.
- 2:34:00The seven eight game and the 910 game are two separate of the
- 2:34:03first games. If you are the seven or eight
- 2:34:05seed, if you win that, you're in.
- 2:34:08If you lose it, you have double elimination.
- 2:34:11So then they go and play the winner of the 910 game.
- 2:34:15Since you're 910, it's single elimination for you.
- 2:34:18I don't I don't get why the NBA in these in professional sports
- 2:34:22change these rules up. They they just ruin the game.
- 2:34:26It just doesn't. Mean you're trying to add more
- 2:34:28games. Yeah, because it makes more
- 2:34:30sense. What I would do is I wouldn't
- 2:34:32have, I honestly wouldn't have what, 11 teams, right?
- 2:34:3611 teams, 10 teams. So I would have two teams.
- 2:34:39They're the playing teams and I would have them play three games
- 2:34:43and the best out of three gets into that, you know, playing
- 2:34:46that playing game. There shouldn't be 10 teams that
- 2:34:49get a playing game because I just don't like it.
- 2:34:52I don't like how it makes, it doesn't make any sense.
- 2:34:54And it, you know, well, this team is a seventh seed or this
- 2:34:57team's an eighth seed. And that that same thing with
- 2:34:59the NBA tournament in the middle of the season.
- 2:35:01It's great to watch the Knicks win, but it makes no sense.
- 2:35:04What do they get out of it, $100,000 each?
- 2:35:07It makes no sense. I don't get it.
- 2:35:09So it always gets the answer. I did it.
- 2:35:11I was always we would play the game because there's too.
- 2:35:14Many, yeah, but. 500. Yeah.
- 2:35:17It's I don't like that. They give that money, they get
- 2:35:20taxed. You know I said that about the
- 2:35:23NFL, but didn't like the beast quake run by Marshawn Lynch
- 2:35:26happened the year that the the Seahawks were under 500 when
- 2:35:29they made the playoffs. That's.
- 2:35:30The division set up that wasn't expanded playoffs.
- 2:35:32But it's still the same idea. We have these got these teams
- 2:35:35that are below 500 teams pretending they're playoff
- 2:35:38teams, and we've seen them be garbage all year.
- 2:35:41What we know the Warriors are trashed this year.
- 2:35:44Nobody wants to watch them right now.
- 2:35:46Steph Curry can't even play. If he's going to get out there,
- 2:35:49he's barely going to be able to be a shell of himself.
- 2:35:51He streamlined, but he's going to.
- 2:35:53And maybe they even win. They're going to win, but.
- 2:35:56But they're going to win. But guess what?
- 2:35:58He's not going to be healthy enough to run a series and
- 2:36:01they're going to get embarrassed and it's going to be shameful,
- 2:36:03but they want money early. You know why this is happening?
- 2:36:06It's more money for. The MBA, it's not making any
- 2:36:08sense. Why not just keep it like it was
- 2:36:10originally with the first top eight teams, get it, and then
- 2:36:12just move? Because there's four.
- 2:36:14More games, yeah, but this is just nonsense basketball like
- 2:36:18no, nobody wins in this I mean, yes, it's definitely for money
- 2:36:21but then you already added the player in tenement so you're
- 2:36:23getting the money on the front end.
- 2:36:25So my, my thing is you, we're basically this false hope.
- 2:36:28It's like what we do now in competition, everybody gets an
- 2:36:31award even though you suck and you came in last two hours ago,
- 2:36:34now you get a reward. But.
- 2:36:37That's the problem in sports. A lot of people, a lot of
- 2:36:40parents are complaining about it because how do you learn as a
- 2:36:43young kid? How do you learn to lose?
- 2:36:45How do you learn to win if everybody's getting trophies,
- 2:36:48everybody's getting ribbons, and that's what you're teaching
- 2:36:50right now in the NBA. Well, you're a superstar player.
- 2:36:53You're making millions and millions of dollars.
- 2:36:55All you got to do is sneak in and be a 10 seed or a ninth seed
- 2:36:58and maybe, maybe you can make a run all the way to the Finals.
- 2:37:01I guarantee you will never see a 10 seed ever win a championship.
- 2:37:05It's not going to happen in the NBA.
- 2:37:07It's just not. The fact here is the, the, the
- 2:37:10way you look at Steph Curry, Steph Curry makes that team much
- 2:37:13better, much better. And that's why, even though I
- 2:37:16think the Clippers have been one of the hotter teams in the
- 2:37:18second-half and Kawhi Leonard's having one of his best years
- 2:37:21because he's going to be looking for a big contract in the
- 2:37:23offseason. As long as nobody's paying him
- 2:37:25under the table. I mean, all the crap that we
- 2:37:28heard. I I mean, he's trying to make
- 2:37:30sure that he could spin the wheel and make the deal at the
- 2:37:32end of the season. If the Clippers or Kawhi Leonard
- 2:37:35wants to prove his worth to an NBA team, he better knock off
- 2:37:38the Warriors, healthy or not. You know, Steph Curry is going
- 2:37:41to put up a 30 spot and you know Steph Curry is going to play his
- 2:37:44ass off because he believes that this team somehow could sneak in
- 2:37:49and make a run. And I'm going to tell you this,
- 2:37:51if there's anybody can do it as a 10 seed that maybe can get
- 2:37:54this team in a second round or maybe the Western Conference
- 2:37:56finals, it's Steph Curry. And I, everybody thinks I pick
- 2:37:58on Steph Curry. I do not pick on Steph Curry.
- 2:38:01If I see what he is as a player and what he stands for, I give
- 2:38:04him a credit. And I do believe that the the
- 2:38:07Warriors are much better than that.
- 2:38:09They're rated as a 10 seed. They're much better than a ten
- 2:38:11seed. Yeah, the talent wise, they
- 2:38:13definitely were always better than a 10 seed.
- 2:38:14It's just a matter of they're staying healthy and their team
- 2:38:16just being very old, as Steve Kerr complained about five times
- 2:38:19already all year to change the rules because their team is old.
- 2:38:21But yeah, the Clippers are just as old as they are and they're
- 2:38:24hot. It's hot versus experience type
- 2:38:26thing, and it's what you guys were debating about before that.
- 2:38:29I actually had the opposite thinking.
- 2:38:30Qi thought they should have reduced the playoffs and made it
- 2:38:326 like baseball has. You want to reward load
- 2:38:35management. All these players want to rest
- 2:38:37during the regular season. Now there's these 60.
- 2:38:38Five. And don't hire Tom Thibodeau.
- 2:38:40Don't. Hire Tom Thibodeau.
- 2:38:41Yeah, but you want there's now there's this 65 game debate for
- 2:38:43that same. Reason Yum Yum I am a LED those.
- 2:38:46Guys with extra for arrest by making the one and two seats the
- 2:38:48byes play 3 versus 6. You don't have now this year.
- 2:38:50That's not the same prongs. There's not as many under 500
- 2:38:52teams in the playoffs this year. But like I was saying.
- 2:38:54Squeeze the tease like. The Suns or the Trailblazers to
- 2:38:57knock off the Spurs or in the Blazers case, knock off the
- 2:39:00defending champion 64 win OKC Thunder at this point.
- 2:39:03And that's the problem that I think this playing team has.
- 2:39:05Some of my team. Like I was saying, they rebuilt
- 2:39:07well after the Durant trade and stuff like that.
- 2:39:08Their GM has done a good job, but they're still rebuilding.
- 2:39:10The Trail Blazers are still all over the place, not going
- 2:39:13anywhere. It's, you know, this guy doesn't
- 2:39:16have a breath. This guy doesn't have a breath.
- 2:39:19I mean, I there's a. Thing there's a thing.
- 2:39:24There's a thing called breathing.
- 2:39:26Ladies and gentlemen. Stop.
- 2:39:30Leave him alone, man. Breathe.
- 2:39:31It's not like you you're you're pregnanting or you're you're
- 2:39:34giving. Birth to He was comfortable.
- 2:39:35He gave his tape breathe. Yeah, well, your takes have been
- 2:39:38outlandish. Before Stevie.
- 2:39:40I, I'll tell you this, some of your crazy, the Brownie James
- 2:39:43thing, I mean, absolutely outlandish and some of this
- 2:39:45craziness. I, if you actually believe this,
- 2:39:48I'm starting to worry now. I'm I'm really starting to
- 2:39:50worry. Now, Q Here's the real question.
- 2:39:52If Eric Spoelstra coached Brownie James, would he be
- 2:39:54turned as good as he would think?
- 2:39:58While he's breathing after he. Left because because because
- 2:40:01Ronnie actually is a defensive player, so it would I think he
- 2:40:04would. Oh, so you?
- 2:40:05You call that defensive playing? Come on, please.
- 2:40:09Are you actually going to sell that?
- 2:40:12You're selling that? Ronnie James.
- 2:40:14Could actually play defense, is that what you're saying?
- 2:40:16Yeah, he can. You're on drugs.
- 2:40:18But. You're on drugs.
- 2:40:20You were definitely on something.
- 2:40:21He's definitely. What were you smoking wherever
- 2:40:24you were? I mean, it was.
- 2:40:27I thought it was Jacksonville. You know what was?
- 2:40:30I know, I know. That's a smoking state, ladies
- 2:40:32and gentlemen. You know what your problem is?
- 2:40:34You compare everything to the top.
- 2:40:36No, I don't. That's the problem.
- 2:40:37No, I don't. Everything to the top, never do
- 2:40:40anything. On this show, I.
- 2:40:41Never do that average in between in the middle liar.
- 2:40:44Discredit it because it ain't the top liar.
- 2:40:47That's the problem. Never do it.
- 2:40:48Never see past the. Top What are you talking about?
- 2:40:50Yes, I do, absolutely. Do you should see him during
- 2:40:53football season? You should see how many years
- 2:40:55he's picked against the Chiefs. I, I absolutely don't look at
- 2:40:59the top. I always look at the bottom and
- 2:41:02I always are outlandishly crazy when it comes to making my picks
- 2:41:06on who's going to win a championship because I'm not
- 2:41:09like everybody else. Oh, this.
- 2:41:10They're the bona fide team. You picked Arizona.
- 2:41:12I told you Arizona wasn't winning.
- 2:41:14I told. You you picked Perdue.
- 2:41:17Yeah, I'll tell you this right now.
- 2:41:19Perdue had a better chance of winning a champion they.
- 2:41:22Did it? Yes they did.
- 2:41:24If Perdue played Michigan, they beat.
- 2:41:27Michigan, you keep talking about, you stop saying.
- 2:41:30By the way, by the way, you did not beat me in points because we
- 2:41:35were tied. So you were yapping your mouth
- 2:41:38and not lucky you, dude. You picked a team that I
- 2:41:43believed had to me had no shooting ability at the
- 2:41:46three-point line and I knew they weren't winning a championship.
- 2:41:49They couldn't shoot a lick at the three-point line.
- 2:41:52And now all of a sudden you're hid, you're going to hide behind
- 2:41:55the camera. You're going to dance and prance
- 2:41:57around here. Yeah, you're right there.
- 2:41:59This camera. I'm a little lost this.
- 2:42:00Camera. I don't know.
- 2:42:02You're not looking at it. You're not looking at it.
- 2:42:05There you are. Maybe Arizona need Bryce James
- 2:42:07to save them. Anyways, the last game.
- 2:42:11Yeah, they should have sub Bryce in.
- 2:42:12The last game we got the magic in the Sixers and a lot of
- 2:42:16people think that if the Sixers get out of this round, they
- 2:42:19would be matched up possibly against the Knicks and nobody
- 2:42:23wants the Sixers and the Knicks to play because the the Sixers.
- 2:42:27Now what are you going to say, Fish?
- 2:42:28What? What are?
- 2:42:29You the Knicks, are playing the Hawks.
- 2:42:31All right, so that's even worse. That's even worse.
- 2:42:34So the fixers this would be to play the Celtics.
- 2:42:37Who would be Tuesday? Well, good.
- 2:42:39It's a loss either way. It's a loss either.
- 2:42:41Way. I mean, I'd rather play the
- 2:42:43Celtics. Than I mean we beat the magic
- 2:42:45with our backups. We didn't even.
- 2:42:47So a lot of Nick fans, I was on a Nick show over the last week,
- 2:42:51week and 1/2 and shout out to Quran and Maxine.
- 2:42:55They do such a great job. We were doing Knicks war room
- 2:42:58and and they were back and forth banter.
- 2:43:00All the fans out there. We we love I, I love all the
- 2:43:02guys and gals that were listening to the show and listen
- 2:43:05to me and Quran argue about my take and his take and Giannis
- 2:43:08got brought up a lot. My thought here is a lot of the
- 2:43:11fans, a lot of the Knick fans, out of all the teams that were
- 2:43:14available in the playing game, they were afraid that the Knicks
- 2:43:18would be matched up against the Sixers because of the talent and
- 2:43:21because of the the ability they have with Joel Embiid and Paul,
- 2:43:27George and Maxi. They're more dangerous because
- 2:43:30they have the better older stars.
- 2:43:33And I would say this, the 76ers, you want to see the 76ers come
- 2:43:38out of this round because I don't think the magics have a
- 2:43:41chance against the Celtics. I think the 76ers actually do.
- 2:43:44I like Nurse as a coach. He actually won a championship.
- 2:43:47You make you could giggle all you want.
- 2:43:49I don't know what the Celtics. I don't know what the Celtics
- 2:43:52are guy. I don't know what they are.
- 2:43:54I really don't what Jason Tatum is coming back from a major
- 2:43:58injury. He.
- 2:43:59Is almost average in the triple W.
- 2:44:01Yeah, well, he didn't do so well in Madison Square Garden, did
- 2:44:04he? He didn't have enough.
- 2:44:07No, he didn't have enough Nick Nurse.
- 2:44:09He didn't. Have enough 23, nine and six or
- 2:44:11something like that. That's not enough.
- 2:44:13No. It wasn't enough to win, but you
- 2:44:16can't say that's not enough you. Know I like Jason Tatum, but I
- 2:44:18don't know what Jason Tatum. Jason Brown wasn't there.
- 2:44:21I don't know what Jason Tatum is, and we got to see if Jason
- 2:44:23Tatum is going to be able to play at a high level.
- 2:44:26And by the way, there are games, there are series that Jason
- 2:44:29Tatum disappears in, so you could say whatever you want.
- 2:44:32Yeah, series. Series that he's disappeared in.
- 2:44:36Yeah, OK. Yeah.
- 2:44:37See what we're talking? About, you know, the
- 2:44:38interesting, the interesting thing about this series and
- 2:44:41Speedy, I was talking to you about this earlier today, the
- 2:44:44coach. Doo Doo.
- 2:44:46May get fired if they lose this game.
- 2:44:48He's the only other coach and we're going to talk about Doc
- 2:44:50getting fired after the break. But this guy might get fired.
- 2:44:54They had it, they had this position locked down a couple of
- 2:44:58months ago and then they fell all the way into this playing
- 2:45:00game. It they no showed, like you
- 2:45:03said, Q the the Celtics were playing Baylor Shireman like 40
- 2:45:07minutes in that game. He put up like 23 points.
- 2:45:10He took put up Tatum numbers against this Orlando team.
- 2:45:13And it and it wasn't just him. It was a bunch of guys like
- 2:45:15their 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th guys in the Celtics
- 2:45:18rotation schooled the Magic in a game they had to win.
- 2:45:22Unbelievable. But the Sixers don't have him
- 2:45:25beat. He had an appendicitis.
- 2:45:26He ain't coming back. So it it looks like it's going
- 2:45:29to be a depleted Sixers roster. Was still a great player in Maxi
- 2:45:33and a great young player in Edgecomb against this pretty
- 2:45:37miser miserable Magic team with a coach that's probably.
- 2:45:40On I would say the 76ers are dangerous if they they get out
- 2:45:44of this round, they are they're dangerous.
- 2:45:46They have they have weapons, they have weapons and Joel
- 2:45:49Embiid, if you get even 1/4 of Joel Embiid, that's going.
- 2:45:53To get you 2010 he can't play is.
- 2:45:55He is he not? Playing an emergency
- 2:45:56appendectomy? He's out.
- 2:45:58Of a month. Hold on one second, you say he's
- 2:46:01done. It's a month, can't play.
- 2:46:03It's a month. Yeah, that'd be done if they
- 2:46:04beat home by the time. If they beat the Celtics, then
- 2:46:07he's not done. You're.
- 2:46:08Not going to beat the Celtics. How do you know?
- 2:46:10I. Got code in hell it.
- 2:46:11Would have to be like conference finals where he would come back,
- 2:46:15I think the way that the time. Frame, what's the record with us
- 2:46:18that this year US versus the 70 census?
- 2:46:22Who knows anyways. It doesn't matter.
- 2:46:23But here's the thing though, they they have.
- 2:46:25We got to move on. I don't want to talk about.
- 2:46:27I see the sisters are actually good.
- 2:46:29No, we didn't talk about that thing because you were so.
- 2:46:31There's nothing to talk about. It's motivated.
- 2:46:34I hate on the sentence. No, I'm not hating on the
- 2:46:36subject. Talk about I'm listening to your
- 2:46:38rubbishly crazy takes on Brownie James.
- 2:46:41It's crazy. Still talking about Brian?
- 2:46:43Yes, because it's crazy. And then you're telling me it's
- 2:46:46all about basketball trees for coaches.
- 2:46:49It makes no sense. None.
- 2:46:52I don't know what you're arguing.
- 2:46:53Here you're. Lost.
- 2:46:56You are absolutely lost, ladies and gentlemen.

- 2:48:22If I can't hear it, it's not on YouTube.
- 2:48:24Oh. Really losing bad at night.
- 2:48:25You want to bet? Because I've been listening to

- 2:48:39Just. Right over your head.
- 2:48:41Right over your head. You are lost.
- 2:48:43Let's go. All right, we'll start.
- 2:48:45What do you got? We'll start off with a
- 2:48:46conversation you and you and I had earlier, Fish.
- 2:48:49The Red Wings have now missed the playoffs for 10 straight
- 2:48:52years after making it for 25 years in a row.
- 2:48:55So there's been two NBA teams that have had that were double
- 2:48:58digits making it in a row and double digits missing in a row,
- 2:49:01both in the Western Conference in their franchise history.
- 2:49:03Say that again. So this these two NBA teams in
- 2:49:06the Western Conference have made the playoffs at least 10 years
- 2:49:09in a row at one point in their franchise history and missed the
- 2:49:12playoffs 10 years in a row at one point in their franchise
- 2:49:14history. Just.
- 2:49:15Name 1. Name one of them.
- 2:49:16Nope. Really.
- 2:49:20Nope. The Jazz have never made it 10
- 2:49:21years in a row. Ever.
- 2:49:23Even with Stockton and Malone? Really.
- 2:49:25Nope, they never did. Damn, I would have figured they
- 2:49:28were a lock. Portland.
- 2:49:31Not Portland all. Right, Sacramento.
- 2:49:35We'll bring nothing in. Only get one, nothing can play
- 2:49:38as well. I get one or two.
- 2:49:40One, because you're only naming one team.
- 2:49:42If I if I made you name both teams, then I would have to.
- 2:49:45Then I'll give you 2 guesses, but you'll have to name.
- 2:49:46One OK, give me, I'll give you, I'll give you Sacramento.
- 2:49:50San Antonio. No, they never missed 10 years
- 2:49:52in a row. Speedy the Jazz won the Jazz
- 2:49:56made it every year of Malone's career.
- 2:49:59They never. They never missed then they
- 2:50:00never missed them. They never missed 10 years.
- 2:50:02You got to make it and miss. Come on.
- 2:50:04Speedy, Did they go Sacramento? No, it's.
- 2:50:07Not Sacramento. All right, Nathan, you're the
- 2:50:09last hope here. All right.
- 2:50:13I'm going to go to. That's coming from a guy that
- 2:50:16dropped something on his head tonight.
- 2:50:19Want to go to Houston? Nope, it was not Houston, is he?
- 2:50:22Yeah, the answers were One of them was the Dallas Mavericks.
- 2:50:24The other one was the Phoenix Suns.
- 2:50:26I ran here. Dang, all right, Speedy.
- 2:50:31Well, I guess. Speedy sleeps with endangered
- 2:50:33animals. And if it.
- 2:50:35Sells them in the black market I.
- 2:50:36Hate Speedy got that square I hate.
- 2:50:38That right in there, right in the middle.
- 2:50:41All right, Speedy next question. All right, we'll go to the NFL
- 2:50:43Draft for this one. So two teams have never had the
- 2:50:46number one overall pick in their team's history.
- 2:50:49Who are they? So now you get 2 guesses that's
- 2:50:50going to make you name. Both.
- 2:50:51This is for what sport? Football.
- 2:50:54Two teams that never had the number one pick correct?
- 2:50:56Oh. Man.
- 2:51:04Great football. This is tough.
- 2:51:10I'm gonna let somebody get it wrong first.
- 2:51:14We got 2 guesses though you said yes.
- 2:51:15You got 2 guesses here Anthony, in both teams.
- 2:51:17Seattle. That is one good job.
- 2:51:19Oh wow. Seattle.
- 2:51:21Good job, Denver. Nope.
- 2:51:29Then they get Elway first or something like.
- 2:51:31That No, the Colts had that pick.
- 2:51:32They trained him in the. Broncos.
- 2:51:33They trained, yeah. OK, because he didn't want to.
- 2:51:37Play in any true, true, true, true.
- 2:51:41That's a good one. Let me get another guess out
- 2:51:43there. The Buccaneers.
- 2:51:47Nope. Never.
- 2:51:50Had a What'd you say the. Buccaneers.
- 2:51:54I'm gonna say New England. No, no, that's the NFC.
- 2:51:57The NFC, sorry. You said NFC, right?
- 2:52:00No, I didn't say either conference, but.
- 2:52:02He didn't say conference. You said it was in the NFC.
- 2:52:04No, I didn't. NFL NFL You bucked your head
- 2:52:08tonight. I didn't bump my head.
- 2:52:10This guy I I some of the things that take your.
- 2:52:12Guest back and he thought you said NFC.
- 2:52:14I thought he said NFC. You could you could have another
- 2:52:16guest. There.
- 2:52:18OK, so generous as see. How?
- 2:52:23OK, so Speedy just unintentionally gave us a hint
- 2:52:26that it's in the air. Baltimore.
- 2:52:27Yeah, it. Has you got it anyway?
- 2:52:30Oh, let's go. Don't be cheating over there.
- 2:52:34Don't be cheating. I see you're talking about eyes.

- 2:52:40Don't be cheating. Don't beat.
- 2:52:42You Where are we going? I'm not.
- 2:52:47First of all, I'm just watching your eyes.
- 2:52:49I'm watching your. Eyes.
- 2:52:51I'm not looking at anything, you see, not looking at anything.
- 2:52:55They go screen to the. Dude, I I don't cheat in any
- 2:52:59game. Everything that I do.
- 2:53:00They say you cheated all. Right.
- 2:53:02So you came in so I don't cheat. I don't cheat.
- 2:53:04I sit here and I listen. Honestly, I don't even get
- 2:53:07involved in the game. I just listen to everybody, I'm
- 2:53:08guessing. He's so butt hurt that he.
- 2:53:10Loves. I'm really not.
- 2:53:12I'm just on the same team you're.
- 2:53:14Stop cheating, that's all right. You're the same team.
- 2:53:18Same team guys, same team. I've said that a lot to players
- 2:53:21on high school teams over the years.
- 2:53:23Corn is going into overtime. Yeah, Bam's out for the game.
- 2:53:27He fell and got hurt, so I don't.
- 2:53:28Games over. No, but they were up, you know,
- 2:53:31without them. They were.
- 2:53:32They were. So it was just up by like 4.
- 2:53:34Games over, Charlotte wins. We'll see.
- 2:53:38All right, Speedy next question. Go to golf for this one.
- 2:53:40Which active American golfer has the record for most birdies in a
- 2:53:43tournament with 28? In one tournament?
- 2:53:47Yep. Say it again.
- 2:53:49What American golfer has the most active for most birdies in
- 2:53:53a Masters tournament with 28? I'm going to guess Xander
- 2:53:56Sheffly. Nope.
- 2:53:58You said active like, like they played in this tournament.
- 2:54:01Played this year. Currently.
- 2:54:04I might have another one. But damn, I'm about to say
- 2:54:07something stupid. Like what?
- 2:54:08I'm going to. Go.
- 2:54:16I'm be on this guys. I'm going to be honest with you.
- 2:54:19This might be like some super obscure 1.
- 2:54:21Do you want me to guess? No, it's not obscure.
- 2:54:25Well, I mean, you wouldn't think it was this guy.
- 2:54:28No, it's a well known name. I know it's.
- 2:54:31Well known, I don't know. Obscure.
- 2:54:33Golfers speedy, I only know so much about golf.

- 2:54:37It ain't Tiger, I can tell you that.
- 2:54:39It's it's not going to be Tiger because he didn't play in this
- 2:54:41tournament. Yeah.

- 2:54:50Let you take you said American. American.
- 2:54:51Yeah, he said. American.
- 2:54:52I said American. I'm sorry, do you want me to
- 2:54:55take the other guy I was thinking of?
- 2:54:57Then the other guy I was thinking of was Bubba Watson.
- 2:55:00Nope. All right.
- 2:55:04I'm gonna take, I'm gonna go is Scotty.
- 2:55:06Scotty Scheffler is not American.
- 2:55:08I was gonna say Scotty Scheffler.

- 2:55:24I'd rather. He.
- 2:55:26Said I'd rather do it myself. I'd rather get it wrong unless
- 2:55:29I'm cheating. Yeah, I'd rather get it.
- 2:55:31Right. Unless I'm.
- 2:55:31Cheating. I'd rather get it wrong.
- 2:55:34Give him the satisfaction. Unless I'm cheating.
- 2:55:39No, let me see. I know.
- 2:55:42I don't even know 10 American golfers.
- 2:55:47Name one of them. I know I want to say Scotty, but

- 2:56:39that? You knew, I told you I have it.
- 2:56:42I knew it and you because I had a guess And and and and you're.
- 2:56:48Right. Guys, teamwork makes a dream
- 2:56:51work Speedy, you're going to get our.
- 2:56:53Carl plays with himself all. Right, we'll go bottom right.
- 2:56:58All right. Oh, all right.
- 2:56:59We got to block them. Well, I'm already set right
- 2:57:02there. Be a lift master all.
- 2:57:04Right, we'll go back to the NBA for this one.
- 2:57:06So you guys will talk about Doc Rivers in a bit.
- 2:57:08He is sixth all time in NBA wins and a basket last week.
- 2:57:12He's only won 1 championship, but there's four coaches in that
- 2:57:14are top ten in NBA history in wins that don't have a title.
- 2:57:19Name two of them. Lenny Wilkins.
- 2:57:22No. He won.
- 2:57:24He. Did he won one with the
- 2:57:27SuperSonics in the 70s? Oh, Jesus.
- 2:57:30Their only title in the 78? I think they only have one title
- 2:57:34or they don't. I know he has like the most wins
- 2:57:37that. Have never won a title.
- 2:57:40Mike D'Antoni. No, again, you guys get 2
- 2:57:44guesses because you're. Oh, I get 2.
- 2:57:46Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're naming 2 people.
- 2:57:51No it is not Mike D'Antoni Nathan.
- 2:57:52He is not top 10. I guess one.
- 2:57:54What do you got, Don Nelson? Yes.
- 2:57:56It's. A good guess.
- 2:57:59It's number two all time. There you go, he has the he has
- 2:58:01the most to get 2. No, you need to get 2.
- 2:58:05Darrell got one already. You guys need one more.
- 2:58:09I got a weird one. Rudy Tom.
- 2:58:12No, no, he won with the Houston Never Mind Call.
- 2:58:15It yourself. Good catch.
- 2:58:16I did catch myself because he beat the Knicks.
- 2:58:18I'm an idiot, all right, Speedy. Repeat it again.
- 2:58:25It's just a coach. Who top ten wins?
- 2:58:27No. Championship.
- 2:58:28No Championship. Correct.
- 2:58:30OK. It ain't Lenny.
- 2:58:37It feels like it should be like a Lakers coach because they lost
- 2:58:40every year in the 60s. Who was the Lakers coach back
- 2:58:43then? Detroit in that way they were.
- 2:58:54I don't know. They won.
- 2:58:55They won before Jordan, so they they do.
- 2:58:57You want me to guess again? Yeah, go ahead.
- 2:58:59Yeah. Tom Thibodeau No.
- 2:59:02No, he's not going to have that in.
- 2:59:04He never won, but he had a lot of wins.
- 2:59:06No, but the head coaching, it's going to be a guy that did it
- 2:59:08for like 30 years. Tibbs only did for like 15.
- 2:59:11I. Would we'll see that George
- 2:59:13Paul. Tom Timbers.
- 2:59:15He was your 5th man forever. Q Got it, George Carlin.
- 2:59:17You got it, George. Carlin, I did.
- 2:59:18Yep. Oh, Carl.
- 2:59:21Or the Nuggets. Yep.
- 2:59:24Well, from a few places also. He was Sean Kemp's coach in the
- 2:59:26with the Sonics back then too. 2 Sonics guys, speedy in that one.
- 2:59:31Let's put this back up. Q And Errol, you're going to
- 2:59:35share a square. Can you guys agree on where to
- 2:59:37go? I think we have to go here.
- 2:59:39Yeah, we have to ready to go put you.
- 2:59:41Guys together in this one, I don't know.
- 2:59:44Scoop sits on the sitter. Share in the space.
- 2:59:46I like anal. All right, Speedy.
- 2:59:50Next question rushed to. The hospital.
- 2:59:53Now nobody has to be rushed to the hospital.
- 2:59:54By the way, the other two, FYI, were Jerry Sloan and Rick
- 2:59:57Adelman were the other two. Sloan.
- 3:00:00Hey guys, I would. Have figured out.
- 3:00:03Go ahead, go ahead. Thanks.
- 3:00:08Anymore you want to tell us? Got.
- 3:00:10To. Take it.
- 3:00:12Out. He's got to paint his wall
- 3:00:16behind us. Guys, I got to go.
- 3:00:18All right, you're. Serving Tommy's faster.
- 3:00:23We go with the toilet during the show.
- 3:00:25All right, we'll go. We'll go back to the NFL draft
- 3:00:28for this one. So Ohio State and Alabama are
- 3:00:31two of the five schools that have named that have the most
- 3:00:34first round picks in NFL draft history.
- 3:00:37Name two of the other three, Say that again.
- 3:00:40So besides Ohio State and Alabama, name two of the three
- 3:00:44other schools that are top five all times in NFL first round
- 3:00:49draft picks total. LSU.
- 3:00:52Nope. Feels like a Georgia answer.
- 3:00:54Nope. Really.
- 3:00:56In Alabama, it wasn't. No, no.
- 3:00:58Alabama and Ohio State, besides those two name the other name
- 3:01:02two of the other three schools. I'll take the other guess, USC,
- 3:01:05yes. USC is 1.
- 3:01:07USC I will guess with my other one, Notre Dame.
- 3:01:10Notre Dame is one of the other ones.
- 3:01:11Good job you. Both here.
- 3:01:12Hey, look at us filling tonight. Look at that and guess what?
- 3:01:16That means we really smothering. We are the winners.
- 3:01:20Look at, look at this line that we made somehow all three of us
- 3:01:24in different combos. I don't care.
- 3:01:26Combined on this line 90. 9% of. The world.
- 3:01:33Would too to be. That said, speeding, I have to
- 3:01:36bring it next time, but we got you this time on Tic Tac.
- 3:01:39No that. Was a good.
- 3:01:40One. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
- 3:01:41when we come back, we have the Doc River Saga as his big mouth
- 3:01:45doesn't know when to shut up. Islanders miss the playoffs and
- 3:01:48what's that smell? Sports Minute.
- 3:01:53This is a New York sports loudmouth sports minute.
- 3:01:59All right guys, Aaron Fishman hit the for another sports
- 3:02:02minute. Couple of more stories than the
- 3:02:04scores. After this break, we're going to
- 3:02:07discuss the coaching firings in the NBA as the regular season
- 3:02:10wrapped up over the weekend. Only one coach fired Doc Rivers.
- 3:02:12We'll talk about him in a second, but one name that we
- 3:02:15can't bring up is Doug Christie, who the Sacramento Kings are
- 3:02:19retaining for reasons unbeknownst to rational sports
- 3:02:23fans. The Athletic Salamic reports
- 3:02:25that the Kings, despite going 22 and 60 and tied for last in the
- 3:02:29Western Conference, first time head coach Doug Christie, who
- 3:02:32took over for now Knicks head coach Mike Brown when he was
- 3:02:35unceremoniously fired right after Christmas in 2024 after
- 3:02:39being the coach of the year the previous season.
- 3:02:41Christie went 27 and 24 for the remainder of last year and made
- 3:02:45the playing game as a nine seed, although they were eliminated
- 3:02:48and not make the actual playoffs.
- 3:02:50Christie couldn't even match his win total from his half season
- 3:02:52in charge last year this season. Yet the Kings, who seem to be
- 3:02:56one of the most dysfunctional franchises in the NBA, are
- 3:02:59committed to their once former player.
- 3:03:01This move comes even as Christie and the team have faced recent
- 3:03:05scrutiny over what looked like an obvious move to tank a game
- 3:03:08against the Golden State Warriors 2 weeks ago by telling
- 3:03:11the team to intentionally foul while winning with about 3
- 3:03:14minutes left in the game while the Warriors were in the
- 3:03:17penalty, giving Seth Curry an excellent foul shooter 2
- 3:03:21freebies which actually put the Warriors up for good.
- 3:03:23The NBA cleared Christie of tanking charges after a brief
- 3:03:27investigation and merely said he was just a bad coach who made a
- 3:03:32mistake. So of course Christie was
- 3:03:34retained by the organization. Make it make sense.
- 3:03:37Perhaps RLQ and Speedy will have something to say about this
- 3:03:40after the break. The Dallas Wings selected UConn
- 3:03:44Huskies guard Ozzie Fudd first overall in the 2026 WNBA draft
- 3:03:49held on Monday. Fudd is the second straight
- 3:03:52number one player from UConn following Paige Becker's last
- 3:03:55year who also went to the Dallas Wings and they will now team up
- 3:03:58once again. What Fudd and Becker's don't
- 3:04:01have in common is starting salary as a rookie in the WNBA,
- 3:04:05as Fudd with the new CBA passed before the draft will be making
- 3:04:08a cool half, $1,000,000, more than five times As much as what
- 3:04:12Beckers made last season. The 2026 Woman's basketball
- 3:04:15champion UCLA Bruins were also well represented in the first
- 3:04:19round, setting a record with five players being taken in the
- 3:04:231st 15 picks with #4 picks star center Lauren Betts and #9 pick
- 3:04:28Angela Dugalich going to Washington #5 pick Gabriella
- 3:04:32Gabriella Hakez, brother of Heat forward Jaime Hakez junior went
- 3:04:36to Chicago. Number six pick Kiki Rice went
- 3:04:38to Toronto while Gianna Neapins was taken by Connecticut with
- 3:04:44the last pick in the first round.
- 3:04:46Other notable selections include TCU point guard Olivia Miles,
- 3:04:48who went #2 to Minnesota, while 64 Spanish center Loaf Fam Thiam
- 3:04:53went #3 to Seattle. The curious move was star LSU
- 3:04:58Flo Jay Johnson, two time All American and 2023 national
- 3:05:02champion, got drafted by Golden State at #8 but was then
- 3:05:06curiously traded for the first pick of the second round #16 and
- 3:05:11a 2028 second round pick, making it seem like the new Golden
- 3:05:15State Valkyries are already penny pinching.

- 3:06:48and check out our local listings for all our shows is go to our
- 3:06:51website at www.worldwidesportsradio.com.
- 3:06:55I want to let everybody know that if you haven't been tuning
- 3:06:58in and checking out what we've been doing on Spotify and Apple,
- 3:07:02we are ranked 30th in the country right now as far as
- 3:07:06we're under the category sports for football, but we talk all
- 3:07:10sports. We were 30th, the highest we've
- 3:07:13ever been ranked. And out of all the podcasts in
- 3:07:16the country, all the podcasts from Spotify and Apple, we are
- 3:07:20ranked 149th in all sports radio shows in the country.
- 3:07:25So I don't know if anybody understands what we're doing
- 3:07:29right now. It's pretty amazing.
- 3:07:30And I'm not trying to pat myself on the back or anybody that's
- 3:07:33been working really, really hard on the show.
- 3:07:35It is incredible that we do not have the backing like all these
- 3:07:40other shows do and we're kicking the living, you know what, out
- 3:07:43of them. So that tells us what we are and
- 3:07:45what we're doing and the transition of what we do.
- 3:07:48For all the fans out there listening to a show, all the
- 3:07:51sports fans that are tuning in right now, we need more.
- 3:07:55And I'll say this, we need more YouTube guys and girls that want
- 3:07:59to watch us live. But hey, if you're driving home
- 3:08:01and you want to watch us on Spotify and Apple, I understand.
- 3:08:05If you want to listen to us on Spotify and Apple, I understand.
- 3:08:08But you can listen to us and watch us live on our channel,
- 3:08:13New York Sports, Loudmouth New York, check it out.
- 3:08:17And we have over 110 subscribers right now as we speak.
- 3:08:21So it's pretty incredible what we're doing even on that being
- 3:08:24that we have a new channel and we're trying to build from
- 3:08:27scratch. Speaking to the fans, yes,
- 3:08:30Speaking of building from scratch is Doc Rivers.
- 3:08:33We Milwaukee's going to have to be building from scratch now.
- 3:08:37Doc Rivers and the bucks have parted ways after a 32 and 50
- 3:08:40record, snapping a streak of non consecutive playoff appearances
- 3:08:45by the bucks. The Bucks will pay a remaining 8
- 3:08:50million on his contract and also stay, I'm sorry, still have a
- 3:08:54pay remaining if they have to pay remaining 4 million to
- 3:08:58Adrian Griffin, the Adrian Griffin deal.
- 3:09:01The Bucks have mentioned Two Rivers.
- 3:09:04He wanted him to play a stay with the organization in the
- 3:09:07front office role, but Doc said he is likely to take a break.
- 3:09:12Former Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins and former Lakers
- 3:09:16head coach Darvin Ham are the favorites to get the Bucks job,
- 3:09:20and former Pelicans and Hornets head coach James Borrego is in
- 3:09:26the mix as well. Doc finished with a 97 and 103
- 3:09:31record and zero playoff wins since taking over the Buck's job
- 3:09:35since January 2024. The Bucks have five players with
- 3:09:40player options after the season. With the big question remaining,
- 3:09:45where is Giannis going? Is he going to be trading in the
- 3:09:48offseason after 13 years with Milwaukee?
- 3:09:52Well, I don't know if this is going to keep Giannis around,
- 3:09:55and I don't think it will, but I know Giannis had no interest to
- 3:09:58staying there with Doc Rivers as a coach.
- 3:10:00I could believe that. I think anybody that watches
- 3:10:04Giannis and understands how Giannis is, he's passionate
- 3:10:07about the game and who he is as a player and what he stood for
- 3:10:11and what he stood for for this team and his organization for so
- 3:10:14many years. 13 years is not something to scratch about.
- 3:10:18It's been pretty amazing what Giannis has done.
- 3:10:20Being drafted in the teens from Milwaukee.
- 3:10:24A lot of people question if Milwaukee was putting all their
- 3:10:27eggs in this kids basket coming from Greece.
- 3:10:30And really a lot of people believe that if he wasn't
- 3:10:33drafted in the top 15, maybe he never plays in the NBA and he's
- 3:10:36going to be known as an international phenom.
- 3:10:39Nevertheless, Doc Rivers has failed.
- 3:10:43Say whatever you want. You want to say he's a Hall of
- 3:10:44Famer. We've argued this already.
- 3:10:46I'm not going to sit here on the show and say anything more about
- 3:10:49is he a Hall of Famer or is he not?
- 3:10:51You know what my thought is he has done a terrible job.
- 3:10:57Adrian Griffin before he got fired, was 19 or 18 games over
- 3:11:04500. Doc takes over, they lose 8
- 3:11:07games in a row, eight games in a row.
- 3:11:11And, and I'm going to say this, I'm not saying Doc Rivers can't
- 3:11:14coach. He's definitely a decent NBA
- 3:11:17coach. He's won a lot of games.
- 3:11:20He's not a winning NBA coach. Winning championships is
- 3:11:24everything. You want to tell me anything you
- 3:11:26want to believe about Pat Riley and Phil Jackson?
- 3:11:29These guys were born winners. They won and they won for
- 3:11:33multiple championship teams. Think about it.
- 3:11:37Pat Riley won with Miami, not not just as an executive.
- 3:11:40He won as a coach, he won in LA, the Showtime Lakers.
- 3:11:45Everybody talks about the greatest time for basketball and
- 3:11:48Laker fans was when Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar,
- 3:11:52James Worthy, They were there. They were at a high level.
- 3:11:55Lakers were playing at such a high level and he was taking
- 3:11:57over for a coach that was there was in the Finals.
- 3:12:02My thought here is when you look at Milwaukee, they need to
- 3:12:07rebuild. They need to bring a young guy
- 3:12:09here. I don't know if Darvin Ham, who
- 3:12:12failed over there with the Lakers.
- 3:12:15Taylor Jenkins is an interesting play.
- 3:12:17You know, coach, players coach. I was going to say players
- 3:12:20coach. I like Taylor Jenkins.
- 3:12:22He was a guy that the Knicks were interested in.
- 3:12:25James Borrego, I, I don't know much about himself, but he he
- 3:12:29has proven himself over the years, especially some of the
- 3:12:33development of young players over there with Charlotte.
- 3:12:37I just think when you look at Milwaukee, why would you want to
- 3:12:41go there? There's nothing there.
- 3:12:43The organization is rebuilding. Giannis wants out.
- 3:12:47Giannis is not staying there. He wants to win a championship.
- 3:12:49There's no way Giannis is going to stay there in a rebuilding
- 3:12:52stage. He wants to win a second
- 3:12:53championship. He's not going to win it in
- 3:12:56Milwaukee. So Milwaukee fans, you best
- 3:12:58believe Giannis is gone. He's gone.
- 3:13:02Does he go to the Lakers? Does he go to OK C?
- 3:13:04Does he go to the Knicks? Those are all arguments and it's
- 3:13:07fair we won't know until the season is over and the draft is
- 3:13:11over. I don't even think he gets
- 3:13:13traded before the draft. I think he gets traded after Doc
- 3:13:19Rivers coming out in the way he spoke to the team.
- 3:13:24Google me making it seem like he won multiple championships and
- 3:13:30he stood for basketball in his basketball knowledge.
- 3:13:34Well, if he was so smart wanting his son ever become successful
- 3:13:37as a basketball player in the NBA and all the teams, all the
- 3:13:41players that he's coached over the years and most players that
- 3:13:44were coached by him fail fail. I, I first of all, I want to
- 3:13:50know who's going to present him at the, at the, at the awards,
- 3:13:54the Hall of Famer. Every OB 2.
- 3:13:55No, I'm just saying I would like to see who's going to present
- 3:13:58him because it's not going to be any of the players he's coached.
- 3:14:02Because what I've read in the past, Kevin Garnett, Paul
- 3:14:07appears, even though they respect him, didn't really like
- 3:14:12Doc Rivers at the tail end of their time with the the Celtics.
- 3:14:15That's why they want it out. I've heard through the Grapevine
- 3:14:21that Chris Paul and Blake Griffin weren't too fond of Doc
- 3:14:24Rivers at the tail end of his time with the Clippers.
- 3:14:28The 76ers Joelle Embiid how many times out there in public did he
- 3:14:33throw Doc Rivers under the bus we know a guy that's got
- 3:14:37overpaid over there from LSU. You know what I'm you know what
- 3:14:41I'm talking about that made himself a lot of money with the
- 3:14:4476ers and eventually was traded to the Nets and that he was not
- 3:14:48too fond of Doc Rivers Milwaukee.
- 3:14:53Now there's a lot of questions if Giannis even respected Doc
- 3:14:58Rivers achievements because if you know and understand Doc
- 3:15:01Rivers, Doc Rivers won a title with an elite, superstar driven
- 3:15:07team. I don't care what anybody says.
- 3:15:10That team from top to bottom, you can argue that might be one
- 3:15:13of the greatest Celtic teams of all time.
- 3:15:15You can argue that. You can argue I don't think they
- 3:15:18are. I think the 88 Celtics, I think
- 3:15:20it was 86 or 87, those Celtics, that team was absolutely loaded.
- 3:15:28Doc Rivers, if you look at greatest coaches of all time, I
- 3:15:34would say good coach with a lot of wins that never achieved the
- 3:15:41goals that he had as a head coach and that means
- 3:15:45championships. Phil Jackson said it best in his
- 3:15:47book. Anybody check out his book?
- 3:15:51Winning championships is better and more important than winning
- 3:15:56basketball games. Championships mean everything,
- 3:16:00no matter how talented you are and how talented players.
- 3:16:03And Phil Jackson, you can't argue.
- 3:16:05Phil Jackson coached Kobe Bryant and Shaq in the Proms of their
- 3:16:08careers. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen
- 3:16:11in the primes of their career. I mean, both guys are two of the
- 3:16:14greatest, not just defensive players, two of the biggest
- 3:16:17faces of the NBA in the 90s and the late and early 80s.
- 3:16:22Well, late 80s because Scotty was drafted in 8788.
- 3:16:28I just look at when I look at talent and I look at evaluators,
- 3:16:32guys that have been driven forces to organizations.
- 3:16:36I don't think of Doc Rivers. I'm sorry, I don't.
- 3:16:39Why do everybody talk about when the when the Celtics won a
- 3:16:42championship, the achievements that Tom Thibodeau made as a
- 3:16:46defensive minded coach on that bench?
- 3:16:49If you watch the I don't, I don't remember what it was
- 3:16:52called the Celtic dynasty. Kevin Garnett was on it and he
- 3:16:55says Doc Rivers was great and he had great game plans, but he
- 3:16:58said Tom Tippett was calling the defensive plays.
- 3:17:02I don't know if that's throwing Doc Rivers under the bus, but
- 3:17:05it's it doesn't look good for the head coach.
- 3:17:08It doesn't look good when your superstar big man went out there
- 3:17:12and I guess portrayed you as a great coach.
- 3:17:16But then, well, he wasn't calling the defensive play
- 3:17:19calling. He he wasn't the mastermind of
- 3:17:21the defense. That's why.
- 3:17:22You hired time to. My thought here is when I look
- 3:17:26at Milwaukee, Milwaukee made one of the worst moves in their
- 3:17:31history hiring Doc Rivers because they were not ready to
- 3:17:35win. They had Damian Lillard there
- 3:17:37that shouldn't have been there. That move made no sense.
- 3:17:40To this day I wonder why Damian Lillard wanted to go there, Made
- 3:17:43It wasn't money because he was making more than enough money
- 3:17:46with the Portland Trail Blazers. He was he was the highest paid
- 3:17:49NBA player this season. He was making 60 million a year.
- 3:17:51He signed A2 year extension with them.
- 3:17:53He was making 120 for two years. Why did he leave Portland, by
- 3:17:57the way? When he leaves Milwaukee goes
- 3:17:58back to Portland. There was no reason for him to
- 3:18:01leave. Remember, his agent wanted to
- 3:18:02only trade him to Miami too. It made no sense.
- 3:18:06None of it made sense. But guess what?
- 3:18:09Doc Rivers went over there because he thought he can coach
- 3:18:12Damian Lillard and Giannis and turn them into a championship
- 3:18:14team, which, by the way, everywhere he's gone.
- 3:18:17When you had a, a duo, and I'm saying it a duo, the Clippers,
- 3:18:23remember that Lob City, Chris Paul, who you could argue is the
- 3:18:28greatest point guard of his era, and Blake Griffin, one of the
- 3:18:34more electrifying dunkers we've seen in the NBA in about 30
- 3:18:38years. And, and Blake was good.
- 3:18:40Was he an elite player? He was a, he was an All Star
- 3:18:43player, but he wasn't an elite, elite player, but he was great.
- 3:18:47Those Clipper teams with the talent that they had, they had
- 3:18:49the 6th minute of the year, they were good, but they can never
- 3:18:52get over the hump because guess what?
- 3:18:54Guess what they had to deal with?
- 3:18:56They had to deal with players like LeBron James.
- 3:19:00They had to deal with Dallas. Dallas was always a good team.
- 3:19:04You go up and down to OK C was developing at the time.
- 3:19:08If you look at all these teams, the Western Conference, Yokich,
- 3:19:12we saw him the the Timberwolves. My problem here is everywhere
- 3:19:19Doc has gone, he's ruined those teams.
- 3:19:21He's ruined those organizations. You can say whatever you want,
- 3:19:26Quentin. We know you back up Doc Rivers.
- 3:19:29You died. You you backed up Ronnie James
- 3:19:31this year. I mean, tonight you've backed
- 3:19:33him up. You back up some of your takes,
- 3:19:36which is outlandishly crazy, but I love you.
- 3:19:39They're outlandishly crazy. But it makes it makes sense to
- 3:19:43you and only you. What makes no sense to this take
- 3:19:46about Doc Rivers is why did you step down?
- 3:19:51Why don't you just tell the truth?
- 3:19:53Nobody wanted you there. Nobody.
- 3:19:55The organization can't stand you.
- 3:19:58You threw your players under the bus recently.
- 3:20:00You go and say Google me. What coach goes out there in
- 3:20:05professional sports and says go Google me?
- 3:20:08Nobody gives a crap what they say about you.
- 3:20:10I don't care how many wins you have.
- 3:20:12I care about championships. You want to say whatever you
- 3:20:14want about Bill Belichick? I couldn't stand the FOI.
- 3:20:18Couldn't stand them. But guess what?
- 3:20:20He won. He won.
- 3:20:22Peyton Manning says it best winning franchise.
- 3:20:28Franchises have winning standards.
- 3:20:32Doc Rivers doesn't have a winning standard.
- 3:20:35He cared about talent and players and coaches that were
- 3:20:40coaching under him that he can depend on all his coaches.
- 3:20:44Let's let's look at some of the coaches that were working under
- 3:20:48him. There's one right now with the
- 3:20:50Clippers that worked under him. You know what I'm talking about
- 3:20:52feeding. Lou.
- 3:20:54That's right. If you look at Lou's record to
- 3:20:57Doc Rivers in the last five years of coaching, who do you
- 3:21:02think has a better record? Probably low.
- 3:21:05I guarantee you it's low. I you could book it, it's low.
- 3:21:09You know what that tells me about Doc Rivers?
- 3:21:11He knows how to build coaches on his bench, but doesn't know how
- 3:21:16to build players around him. He knows how to get the coaches
- 3:21:19to do what he wants them to do. What he believes is the right
- 3:21:24way of developing players and bringing these guys along, but
- 3:21:28they never develop. It never works and he has failed
- 3:21:31to take these teams to the promised land.
- 3:21:33He's done it one time. How long is he being a head
- 3:21:37coach in the NBA? Since 1999.
- 3:21:39So how many years is that? That is 27 years. 27 years.
- 3:21:43That's how many championships the New York Yankees have won.
- 3:21:47Here's 11 title as a head coach. Think about it. 1 championship
- 3:21:53in 27 years. A failure.
- 3:21:55An absolute failure. No doubt, there's no reason that
- 3:21:58Clippers team, no matter how much talent, was in the West.
- 3:22:00How did you like that take? No matter how much talent in the
- 3:22:03Western Conference on that time. I can't wait.
- 3:22:05They were. So they were so loaded so deep
- 3:22:07on that team with even like you said, Crawford, I had the team
- 3:22:11JJ Redick, ambassador as a coach tells you want.
- 3:22:13He was a pretty good six man off the bench.
- 3:22:15You had Matt. Another tow job.
- 3:22:17And that team should have at least made the the Western
- 3:22:20Conference finals. Nevertheless, in NBA Finals at
- 3:22:21least once they blew A31 lead to a Houston Rockets team that
- 3:22:24wasn't that good and they've lost to like you said, Errol,
- 3:22:28the Nuggets when they were early in their development, they
- 3:22:30weren't even great yet they lost to them in the playoffs.
- 3:22:32He also Utah and Donovan Mitchells rookie year, I believe
- 3:22:35in five games or so like that. Those are like inexcusable
- 3:22:38things. In addition to the blown 31
- 3:22:39leads, the blown 32 leads. Then he goes to the box.
- 3:22:41The Bucks win a championship of 2021.
- 3:22:44They get rid of Boonholzer, who was a very stable coach over
- 3:22:46there with him, with them and with Atlanta, and yeah, wins the
- 3:22:51wins the championship. 2 years later, there's friction with him
- 3:22:54and Giannis, allegedly, but I don't think it really surfaced
- 3:22:57to anything. They lost Miami in the first
- 3:22:58round. I bought it in that year.
- 3:22:59I thought they were them and the Suns were going to go back to
- 3:23:01the finals that year. I was wrong, but it still wasn't
- 3:23:04a fireable offense for Boonholzer.
- 3:23:05Then you go young. You go hire Adrian Griffin, a
- 3:23:08rising. Assistant as long as she's using
- 3:23:10dudes. Taking care of my 2 nurse.
- 3:23:12And they were 30 and 10 fish. I believe this was your first
- 3:23:15week here with us. I think we talked about this
- 3:23:18story. They were 30 and 10 on January
- 3:23:2025th, 2024 and they get rid of him.
- 3:23:22They were the two seat only behind the Celtics in the East.
- 3:23:24Nearest glory hole. That tells you that the Bucks
- 3:23:27never were into Doc Rivers from the start.
- 3:23:30Do you remember what happened though?
- 3:23:32Why they got rid of this guy in the 1st place?
- 3:23:34There was some like story where he was going after the old coach
- 3:23:37and he brought the old coach in to be an assistant and there was
- 3:23:39just all sorts of drama backstage.
- 3:23:41But they were the best team in like 1 of the two or three best
- 3:23:45teams in the East when it happened.
- 3:23:46Speedy, it made no sense. It made no sense.
- 3:23:50But Doc Errol, look, maybe he's not the best coach and Q, he's
- 3:23:56definitely won before, so we got to give him that.
- 3:23:59But he's that 20 years ago, one of these guys. 20 years ago.
- 3:24:03Well, it was. Oh, wait. 20 years ago.
- 3:24:06Regardless, it was a good year. I was 21.
- 3:24:08I love those. That was a good year for me.
- 3:24:10But I'll tell you, it was a. It was definitely.
- 3:24:14You know a rooster is a cock. A guy I watched that move, that
- 3:24:18show they did about the Clippers with Donald Sterling, where
- 3:24:21Laurence Fishburne played Doc. And that's the kind of gravity
- 3:24:25wasn't a great show. But the whole point of Doc being
- 3:24:28this guy is they treat him like he's this, you know,
- 3:24:31representative of the NBA. He's he's maybe not the best NBA
- 3:24:35coach, but he represents the NBA better than most and because of
- 3:24:39who he is as a person, what he stands for, and I think that
- 3:24:43robbing well respected. Robbing organizations for their
- 3:24:46money, that's that's what he's respected.
- 3:24:48Robbing he's growing, you know, like he's more of like he wants
- 3:24:51to build men type of. Oh, yeah, He's building men.
- 3:24:53That's why. That's why half the players on
- 3:24:56his on these organizations can't stand them.
- 3:24:58Go out, tough on them. You always stay.
- 3:25:00Don't. Be accountable I disagree with.
- 3:25:02It's funny how I keep saying that but speak they speak
- 3:25:05positive. I think he holds him accountable
- 3:25:07queue. I think he tries to.
- 3:25:09Well, that's his thing. That's why you're a giant.
- 3:25:11You don't hold. That account a lot of this.
- 3:25:13Because I'm listening to this rubbish.
- 3:25:14You finally have one. Speedy, can you remind us how
- 3:25:17many NBA coaches that currently is overall and how many have
- 3:25:22actually won a game, won the NBA championship?
- 3:25:25How many of how many have won? OK.
- 3:25:27There's Yeah, How many have actually won?
- 3:25:29It's fired. So it's Spoelstra, it's Steve
- 3:25:31Kerr, it's. No, no, no, no.
- 3:25:34Just how many have won overall in the NBA, overall in the in
- 3:25:37the entire? Yeah, it's.
- 3:25:38Probably like 7. Or 8 right now.
- 3:25:41Because there's a lot of answer. The answer is 10 active coaches.
- 3:25:44Actually no, that's wrong because one of these guys is
- 3:25:46inactive. It's nine OK, actually 8 if you
- 3:25:48don't count Doc. No overall.
- 3:25:51So overall in the since the since the beginning of the NBA,
- 3:25:54how many? Oh, overall in the history, I I,
- 3:25:57I couldn't I. OK.
- 3:25:59I would for you to find that, but also it's a guys.
- 3:26:01Can you remind me what Errol said in regards to who runs the
- 3:26:06team, the star player right, the talent correct.
- 3:26:10So how are we constantly blaming Doc Rivers for everything that
- 3:26:15happened in Milwaukee and the lady when all the talent it was
- 3:26:19there the the LA Clippers was loaded with talent.
- 3:26:22Giannis is a generational talent and there's some for some reason
- 3:26:26Doc gets blamed for that. All right, you keep saying that
- 3:26:29Kevin Garnett spoke out against them and Kevin Garnett wand this
- 3:26:33thing. So here's the thing, you can
- 3:26:34say, hey, my coach is a good coach, but also the assistant
- 3:26:39that he hired to help us with this team also is a good coach.
- 3:26:44And he also pitched in and he also created schemes because
- 3:26:48guess what Thibodeau was there for to create schemes, to create
- 3:26:52a defense or whatever. The one thing that you got to
- 3:26:54understand, the head coach takes on the responsibility.
- 3:26:57However, he hires the assistants to create these scenarios for
- 3:27:01them to be successful. So therefore coaching is also
- 3:27:05important. So no, no, not really.
- 3:27:09I can point, I can point out what's going on in the NBA right
- 3:27:12now. You keep saying that talent I
- 3:27:15can point out right now because you're wrong.
- 3:27:17You said talent 100% wrong. Right, but blame Doctor Porters
- 3:27:22for not winning more than one championship and blowing up
- 3:27:25teams when he's had Lob City and the LA Clippers, who you guys
- 3:27:29just said was enough to win. Then he went to Milwaukee who
- 3:27:33just came off winning the championship what 2 years prior
- 3:27:37to his arrival, Still kind of had that championship core
- 3:27:40together and he didn't win with those as well.
- 3:27:43So my point is that is what now number six in the top ten and
- 3:27:48winning most winning coaches, OK, and he's going to the Hall
- 3:27:51of Fame. So therefore somewhere down the
- 3:27:54line you're going to respect this guy for being a hell of a
- 3:27:56coach. Now is he's the greatest coach
- 3:27:59ever? No, but you don't just get top
- 3:28:0210 most winning coach by accident, OK?
- 3:28:05By not coaching at all and just sitting on the bench and letting
- 3:28:08all this talent get you all. Stack these wins up against you
- 3:28:11all. Right, so.
- 3:28:13Yeah, I got the answer. Before you go Errol, it's 37.
- 3:28:16Different. Wow, so he's 1 of 37?
- 3:28:19And I, I can guarantee you the other five guys that are ahead
- 3:28:22of him with wins have multiple championships.
- 3:28:25Doesn't matter. Multiple.
- 3:28:26He's the only one in the six that I guarantee just doesn't
- 3:28:30have one championship. So that's how.
- 3:28:32Many coaches has been. Multiple.
- 3:28:33Champions. You don't.
- 3:28:34You don't realize how important that is.
- 3:28:36That 1 championship is a very rare thing in the NBA.
- 3:28:41Yeah, there's been 14 coaches that have won championships as
- 3:28:45both a player and a head coach. And then there's, you know, 10
- 3:28:48active coaches that have a title.
- 3:28:50As far as multiple title coaches, Phil Jackson 11, Red
- 3:28:53Arbach 9. John Kundler, who I've never
- 3:28:56heard of, Speedy, I tell me that is 5.
- 3:28:59Popovich, 5. Riley, 5.
- 3:29:00Steve Kerr four, and then everyone else has two.
- 3:29:03Chuck Daly, Heinzen, Red Holtzman, Casey Jones, Rudy, Tom
- 3:29:08Jonovich you mentioned earlier, and Alex Hannam.
- 3:29:11Doc Rivers. Doc Rivers.
- 3:29:13No, he's not. And I, and for the fact that you
- 3:29:16believe that just shows you how much of A Celtic fan you are.
- 3:29:19That's that's what that's the way you're looking at it.
- 3:29:23You're looking at it because he's a Celtic fan.
- 3:29:26He was a Celtic coach, he's not a Celtic fan.
- 3:29:29That's the way you're looking at it and you're wrong because
- 3:29:33here's the fact. I don't want to drag this along
- 3:29:35because I get other things to get into.
- 3:29:37I'm not going to drag this along, but I'm going to tell you
- 3:29:39this right now. If you know anything about
- 3:29:42coaching and you know anything about basketball coaching, I can
- 3:29:45name a guy right now that you can't even name his assistant
- 3:29:49coaches on his bench right now and is a championship coach.
- 3:29:52You know who that is? Rick Carlisle.
- 3:29:54Could you tell me any of the coaches right now on his bench?
- 3:29:59Can you? I'm not.
- 3:30:00I'm not a. Special because I'm good.
- 3:30:02I'm going to give you a tip because none of them have any
- 3:30:05meaning towards championship coaching.
- 3:30:08None of them not. Just sitting on the bitch.
- 3:30:10They just sit on the bench and. Listen to Rick.
- 3:30:13That's. Right boy, that's right boy,
- 3:30:16that's right. Rick Carlisle to me.
- 3:30:19If you would ask me right now, who would I take, Rick Carlisle
- 3:30:22or Doc Rivers? Who would you take, baby Rick
- 3:30:24Carlisle. OK, how about you fish instead
- 3:30:26of beating around the Bush and kissing, you know, kissing his.
- 3:30:29Ass he can have a take. Nick kissing his ass because
- 3:30:32what's your your take on this? Your take on this with the Doc
- 3:30:35Rivers? The fact that you think that
- 3:30:37this guy deserves to be a Hall of Famer makes me wonder
- 3:30:41everything that you have said. Over the last few stats.
- 3:30:44They're not stats, they're. Two stupid Who would you take
- 3:30:48Fish Rick? Carlisle, Doc Rivers.
- 3:30:51I'm definitely taking Rick Carlisle.
- 3:30:53It's not much of A now, now honestly, honestly, you're
- 3:30:57you're a basketball fan. Q who would you really honestly
- 3:31:01take, Doc Rivers or Rick Carlisle?
- 3:31:04Don't say depends yes or no. Who'd you pick?
- 3:31:07Who would you pick because Doc Rivers is known for his defense,
- 3:31:11right? His defense and so are so is
- 3:31:14Rick Carlisle. Who do you think is a better
- 3:31:16defensive minded coach, Rick Carlisle or Doc Rivers?
- 3:31:20Depends on. The team, I'm asking you pick
- 3:31:22one or the other. It depends on the scene.
- 3:31:24I'm going to tell you this right now.
- 3:31:26Rick Carlisle wins multiple wins multiple championships with that
- 3:31:29Celtic team. Multiple, multiple, multiple you
- 3:31:33lay. Out have no clue.
- 3:31:34Really. I have no clue.
- 3:31:36I have no clue. He just took an Indiana Pacers
- 3:31:39team all the way to the Finals that shouldn't.
- 3:31:41Have been. Lost.
- 3:31:41Yeah, they lost. And that's.
- 3:31:43Because Halburn went down. Halburn went down in game number
- 3:31:467 and I'm going to tell you right now, they win that game.
- 3:31:49They win. It doesn't matter.
- 3:31:51Remember, you got to start sticking to your You want to
- 3:31:54start talking about championship now.
- 3:31:56You want to defend Rick Carlisle with making it to the final.
- 3:31:58I am not winning it. So you guys stick to the
- 3:32:01championship matter or they don't?
- 3:32:02I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Rick Carlisle wins that
- 3:32:05championship. I've said this many, many times,
- 3:32:07if Halliburton doesn't go down in the first half.
- 3:32:10Q This The OKC Thunder last year were the best anecolitically
- 3:32:14rated defensive team in NBA history, and that Indiana Pacers
- 3:32:17team of 4C took them to seven games.
- 3:32:19I got to. I've got to finish up.
- 3:32:21The Islanders get eliminated. The New York Islanders were
- 3:32:23officially eliminated from the NHL playoffs after their four
- 3:32:26one loss against the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday.
- 3:32:29The Islanders struggled after the Olympic break, going 4 and 9
- 3:32:33in that span. The Islanders held the second
- 3:32:36spot in the Metropolitan Division as as late as March
- 3:32:3928th, but lost six of their last final seven games, all in
- 3:32:45regulations. The Islanders power play
- 3:32:47struggle badly, finishing 30th in the NHL this season, only
- 3:32:51ahead of the Flames in the Flyers since firing Patrick Watt
- 3:32:54and hiring Peter de Boer. The Islanders won their first
- 3:32:57game versus the Maple Leafs, but lost their last two games by a
- 3:33:02combined score of 8 to 1. The Senators and the Bruins
- 3:33:07clinched the last wild card spots.
- 3:33:09The Flyers clinched the third spot in the Metropolitan
- 3:33:11Division. It's to me, catastrophic.
- 3:33:17I, I, I don't know what more to say about the Islanders season.
- 3:33:20You traded a first round draft pick for Shen.
- 3:33:23Now you do have him next year. What are you going to do with
- 3:33:28Anders Lee? Do you re sign him?
- 3:33:30Do you give him an extension? If you do, you got to sign him
- 3:33:32to no more than three and a half million.
- 3:33:34He's not worth any more than I don't care how many goals he
- 3:33:36scores, he's not worth more than three and a half million.
- 3:33:40You have a goaltender that had with practically dancing on his
- 3:33:44head all season long. He's been the best goalie in the
- 3:33:48league. He's going to win goaltender of
- 3:33:50the year. There's no doubt in my mind.
- 3:33:53You have the best young player in the NHL right now in Matthew
- 3:33:56Schaefer. You I mean they there are a lot
- 3:33:59of great young place, but as far as defensive players, he's going
- 3:34:02to win Rookie of the year. He tied Bryan Leach goal record.
- 3:34:06I don't know if he broke it. Did he break it?
- 3:34:07No, I don't. I didn't watch the last two
- 3:34:10games. Is there one more game left?
- 3:34:12Is there any more games left? No, and I think they got one
- 3:34:15more regular season, but. So maybe he breaks it.
- 3:34:17He needs one more goal so Shave Shaffer could still break the
- 3:34:21goal record for defenseman. The fact here is I don't know
- 3:34:28what was the right answer to fire Patrick Wah.
- 3:34:31Obviously Patrick Wah and Darsh didn't like one another.
- 3:34:35I think Darsh was handed Patrick Wah because the organization did
- 3:34:41not want to fire him. They wanted to go into the
- 3:34:44season with a guy that was there in the players trust.
- 3:34:48And I don't know what happened at the end of the season, but
- 3:34:50there were there was some stories that a lot of players
- 3:34:52did not like Patrick Wah there. There was some arguments in the
- 3:34:56locker room after the Olympic break.
- 3:34:58I don't know what is true and what is not, but what I've read
- 3:35:02is Patrick Wah needed to go and Peter de Boer was the guy that
- 3:35:07Dosch wanted to wanted to hire and he wanted to make sure that
- 3:35:10he does not go into the offseason making his choice on
- 3:35:14where he wants to coach. There's going to be a full
- 3:35:17season next year. We'll see what the Islanders do
- 3:35:19with their pick. It will be a team's pick.
- 3:35:22They're not going to be in the lottery like the Rangers are,
- 3:35:26like some of these teams are going to be in the in this
- 3:35:29year's draft. And I don't know how good this
- 3:35:30year's draft is. Do the Islanders have a great
- 3:35:33future? We have to see what some of
- 3:35:36these young guys and they're going to be called up early next
- 3:35:39year. I I believe that Eiserman,
- 3:35:42Eiserman will be up there. Akison is going to be there.
- 3:35:49They're going to have young guys coming up next year and they're
- 3:35:51going to try to build around these youth, their youth and
- 3:35:54their talent. Matthew Schaefer has been a
- 3:35:56great leader for this young team.
- 3:35:58They've got every, well, this team, a lot of the older players
- 3:36:01have looked up to him. He's really transitioned not
- 3:36:04only as the face of this organization, a leader of this
- 3:36:07organization already at the age of 18.
- 3:36:10What he has done at such a young age is incredible.
- 3:36:13To go and play 25 to 27 minutes in his rookie season has been
- 3:36:18just remarkable. And he does it with such class.
- 3:36:21The back end, the story behind him, his mother, his stepmother
- 3:36:25passed away. I mean, everything about what
- 3:36:27this kid has done has been incredible.
- 3:36:31It's sad that his first season this team was playing such a
- 3:36:35such a high level before the Olympic break.
- 3:36:38Fall flat on their face in this in the last 20 games.
- 3:36:43Their power play struggle. They they always struggle.
- 3:36:46They don't have a number one guy in that offense.
- 3:36:50I love Bo Horvat, but he's not a number one guy.
- 3:36:53He's a great face off guy. He's going to give you 30 goals,
- 3:36:56but he's not a guy that's going to give you 4550 goals.
- 3:36:59The Islanders have been lacking that.
- 3:37:00Now I don't know what these young players are going to be
- 3:37:02when they get called up. Maybe one of them turn into one
- 3:37:05of those guys. Heisman.
- 3:37:06They have guys, they have good hands.
- 3:37:09It it's just as a fan, they were better, way better than the
- 3:37:13Rangers. And the Rangers to me, with as
- 3:37:18bad as the season they had and falling apart and what Chris
- 3:37:20Jury did to this organization, putting out a letter the way he
- 3:37:23did, they both didn't make the play offs.
- 3:37:26So even though the Rangers struggled more than the
- 3:37:28Islanders, they both didn't make the play offs.
- 3:37:30And as good as the Islanders played at such a high level at
- 3:37:33some parts of the season, they failed to do the one thing a lot
- 3:37:37of people thought they should have and that was make the play
- 3:37:40offs. And and to me, Patrick Wah,
- 3:37:43Peter Dubois, it doesn't matter. I think that Darsh is a good
- 3:37:47smart GMI want to see what he's going to do again in his second
- 3:37:51year with the draft. It made no sense why you brought
- 3:37:54in Shen. You brought Shen in to sneak
- 3:37:56into the playoffs and make a run.
- 3:37:58Now you have an older player who's in his 30s, mid 30s, late
- 3:38:0130s who they have one more year. He opted he opted to take his no
- 3:38:07trade clause and and be traded to the Islanders.
- 3:38:11And why? Why did the Islanders want to
- 3:38:13give up a first round talent? I know it was a late first round
- 3:38:17talent. It might be Colorado's final
- 3:38:19pick of the first round where they could have used that to
- 3:38:21move up and get the guy that they wanted.
- 3:38:24None of it makes sense. We'll see how it works.
- 3:38:27The one thing that I think they're in the driver's seat is
- 3:38:29they have Akison and they have Matthew Schaefer.
- 3:38:32They have the future of their defense sitting right there.
- 3:38:35It's fun to watch. My thought here is, is they need
- 3:38:39to do something this offseason that is going to give them that
- 3:38:43that shockwave. And after giving JP Paggio an
- 3:38:47extension, maybe giving Anders lead, Leah an extension, they're
- 3:38:53throwing money at players that at the tail end of their career.
- 3:38:56None of it makes sense. And I you don't want a new young
- 3:39:02GM to make himself look bad when it comes to ownership when they
- 3:39:07have looked, he's looked so good in the first half of the NHL
- 3:39:13season with his draft and, and some of the moves that he has
- 3:39:16made and getting Sarokin to play at a high level again.
- 3:39:19I mean, Sharokin was not playing at this level after his back
- 3:39:22surgery. He finally broke through again.
- 3:39:25And it's become and, and you want to know something, if you
- 3:39:26would ask me right now, who's been more consistent to Sturkin
- 3:39:30or Sarokin since they've come into the league?
- 3:39:32This is the second year Sarokin is going to be up for a goalie
- 3:39:35of the year. Starkins only been up for a
- 3:39:38goalie of the year one time he won it and he had one of those
- 3:39:40great years. He got 11 and a half million
- 3:39:42dollars. He's one of the highest paid
- 3:39:43goalies at least. So Rokin is making 9 1/2 and
- 3:39:46he's just as good or even better.
- 3:39:48So and now is Lou Lamorello sleeping.
- 3:39:50Lou, for everybody to understand what I'm saying, the Islanders,
- 3:39:53this is a this is bad. We have to see what this team,
- 3:39:57the turn around this season, this season brought brings to
- 3:40:00them in the offseason and how they're draft and some of the
- 3:40:04free agents and free agency moves they make can transition
- 3:40:08and make this team back to that elite status which they haven't
- 3:40:13been in. I don't know.
- 3:40:15Since they went to back-to-back Eastern Conference Championships
- 3:40:19and that's not even saying much. Yeah, and that was a lot of the
- 3:40:21combination of moving parts that were a veteran team all at once.
- 3:40:24And the Islanders try to be young.
- 3:40:25And you saw that with Matthew Darson, the beginning of his
- 3:40:28tenure. Obviously wasn't the main GM
- 3:40:29with Tampa until later, but he had those young team.
- 3:40:33They got it going. They're good player development.
- 3:40:35They're good with young forwards and they're good with guys that
- 3:40:38fit into that kind of system. And you saw the Islanders do
- 3:40:40that for a while for much of the season.
- 3:40:41That's why the the young players get to get going as quickly as
- 3:40:44they did was a big reason why. And that was a mixed losing Paul
- 3:40:46Mary to injury, losing Romanoff to injury for pretty much the
- 3:40:49entire season. And it looked like there was a
- 3:40:51sense of adversity there. And then I think he got too
- 3:40:53cute. He got too mixed into different
- 3:40:55identities. You don't know what you're going
- 3:40:57to get. I agree with you.
- 3:40:58Extending Pazzo was a mistake. He was a hot commodity even for
- 3:41:02buying teams at the deadline to get good value from like you can
- 3:41:05shed 5 and a half million dollars.
- 3:41:07I would bring Lee back, but you're right, only at 3, three
- 3:41:10and a half million a year. I think he's a good leader.
- 3:41:11I think he's a good assistant captain with the team.
- 3:41:14Why did you bring Shem? Why do you have Bo Horvat 2
- 3:41:16leaders that deserve that captain?
- 3:41:18Job, right? I was just going to get to that
- 3:41:20because that's another move that felt like they were in between.
- 3:41:22We were saying each the last two years the Islanders should have
- 3:41:24been in the market for a a wait. Because you're right, they don't
- 3:41:27really have a true sniper that same way they have Barzal is a
- 3:41:30good creator of the puck. I don't think he's really a
- 3:41:32sniper. Horvat's a very good two way
- 3:41:33center who could score goals. I don't think he's like a slap
- 3:41:36shot sniper. Power play phenomenon.
- 3:41:38Hence why, you see, even when Barry Trotz was coaching the
- 3:41:41Islanders, they never had a power play that was more than, I
- 3:41:43think, 14th in the NHL at any. But they had the best defense in
- 3:41:46the league, top five defense in the league every single year
- 3:41:49that he was there. What about the defense?
- 3:41:51How did they fall apart in the second-half?
- 3:41:53This defense went from, I would say a top 12, top 13 defense to
- 3:41:59in the last couple of weeks, one of the worst defenses in the NH.
- 3:42:02One of the worst in terms of shots, I think high danger shots
- 3:42:05given him I think the 27th or something like that.
- 3:42:07And a lot of a lot of riders are making that the scapegoat for
- 3:42:10why Patrick Wah got fired out. Saroki was getting shelled.
- 3:42:13This defense was falling apart. And yes, there's probably is
- 3:42:16part of that to do. But again, you don't fire a guy
- 3:42:18with four games left in the season expected to happen
- 3:42:21overnight. If you were this bullish, Darsh,
- 3:42:23if you were this bullish on de Boer as much as you were, why
- 3:42:27don't you just hire him in the offseason like he was available?
- 3:42:29Dallas fired him shortly after they lost in the Eastern in the
- 3:42:32Western Conference finals against Edmondson.
- 3:42:34You had all the time in the world to get rid of him then and
- 3:42:36you didn't do it. And now you're going to do it
- 3:42:38and make it very awkward as it was.
- 3:42:41Maybe they don't make it if they keep one, then you fire him
- 3:42:43then, and then you go after de Boer or you go after Bruce
- 3:42:45Castle. You're a good coach.
- 3:42:47There's plenty of options here. I think they over thought things
- 3:42:49a little bit, got too cute and. They're being used.
- 3:42:52For it, Philly gets hot, Ottawa gets hot, and they're looking.
- 3:42:54At me and you. Can I rattle her tits?
- 3:42:58No, you cannot rattle her tits. I honestly, if you're an
- 3:43:02Ireland, a fan, you can't be happy.
- 3:43:05You shouldn't be happy. This ending is an ending that
- 3:43:09wouldn't make you proud as a fan.
- 3:43:12Now, I don't know what Matthew Dosch does in the offseason.
- 3:43:15He might do a lot, he might make a move that is going to make you
- 3:43:18happy, but this free agency class is not cooked.
- 3:43:21This is probably in the next three years, the worst out of
- 3:43:25the next three years when you look at the talent that's out
- 3:43:27there. I, I, I don't know what more he
- 3:43:29can do. Maybe that's why he made the
- 3:43:30moves and that's why he signed the players that he did and it
- 3:43:33makes them much better. I think you should have let
- 3:43:35those guys go or trade them or decide the best path for this
- 3:43:39young team. Bring the youth up.
- 3:43:41Get rid of Casey Sasikis, get rid of JP Pashaw, get rid of
- 3:43:45these guys because to me, this team is still missing pieces and
- 3:43:50I'm talking about scoring pieces.
- 3:43:52That's going to take him to the next level.
- 3:43:54Hey Errol, we've been talking about coaching all night, so we
- 3:43:57might as well bring it up one last time.
- 3:43:59You played hockey at a high level and when you were younger.
- 3:44:03How much impact can de Boer have compared to Washington next
- 3:44:07season? Or is it again more about the
- 3:44:10players? In the NHL, it it's different.
- 3:44:15Remember with hockey we've seen, we've seen teams like the the
- 3:44:19New Jersey Devils win championships playing the trap,
- 3:44:23playing a trap. So you I just think when you
- 3:44:28look at hockey and trying to compare hockey to basketball and
- 3:44:31football, hockey and football are the two sports you
- 3:44:35desperately need good coaching to win.
- 3:44:39If you don't have that, you're not winning, no matter how
- 3:44:42talented your team is. I have seen teams over the years
- 3:44:45in the NHL, they would had all the talent in the world, but
- 3:44:49they just didn't have that coach, the guy that was going to
- 3:44:51get him of the hump. It's different.
- 3:44:54You would ask me right now if you don't have any league coach,
- 3:44:57you're not winning a championship.
- 3:44:58And by the by the way, Peter De Boer, he's gone to the finals
- 3:45:01multiple times, could never get over the hump.
- 3:45:03So do you think that I think that De Boer is the guy?
- 3:45:07I don't know. It depends on how this team is
- 3:45:10built around him. It didn't work in Dallas.
- 3:45:12It didn't work in places where Las Vegas, I mean, he's coached
- 3:45:17some big, talented teams and he couldn't get over the humps.
- 3:45:20Yeah, he was probably the worst coach Vegas had of like 5 of
- 3:45:23their history so far, Yeah. So a jersey too?
- 3:45:25For a little bit, no. Yeah, he went to the cup with
- 3:45:272012. They beat the Rangers in the
- 3:45:28Eastern Conference finals of 6. He knows how to get there.
- 3:45:30He doesn't know how to win. But you know what, like that's
- 3:45:33an improvement over Wah if they if Wah was fighting with players
- 3:45:36using having an ego issues because he was probably the
- 3:45:39greatest goaltender or one of the three greatest goaltender
- 3:45:42for sure of all time. Easy, right?
- 3:45:44It's hard. I mean, they always said that
- 3:45:46about Gretzky. Gretzky was the exception.
- 3:45:47He was actually a decent coach for a short period of time.
- 3:45:50But usually those great players, they don't know what it's like
- 3:45:52to not be great. So it's hard for them to coach
- 3:45:54guys that weren't as great as them.
- 3:45:56I I don't really know. In football, you see the coaches
- 3:45:59could be a guy like we said, you know, you know, only play D3
- 3:46:02football, You know, they don't have to have been in the league
- 3:46:06to understand the game. But I you know, at the same
- 3:46:09time, you want to have guys that were in the league on that staff
- 3:46:11at the very least, like John Harbaugh going to have former
- 3:46:14NFL players on his staff because he needs that clap.
- 3:46:16He needs that respect. I think even if you though he's
- 3:46:19done it for 30 years, I just think it's just a thing I don't
- 3:46:22know about you're. Going to put your tongue on
- 3:46:23something? Errol Has there ever been a
- 3:46:25hockey coach that wasn't an elite or a good player at some
- 3:46:28point in the NHL? That coach.
- 3:46:31I'll tell you this, yeah, Cooper, but he was a lacrosse
- 3:46:33player. There are players that have
- 3:46:35there are coaches over the years that were never playing, never
- 3:46:40played. Doug McLean was a good coach.
- 3:46:42And I don't think I if he did play in the NHL, he was very
- 3:46:45little. Doug McLean was a great, great
- 3:46:47coach. So I, I just, if you look back,
- 3:46:51yeah, they played in the NHL, but were they any good?
- 3:46:54And as a matter of fact, Craig Barubi won a championship when
- 3:46:58he did and, and when Saint Louis won a championship.
- 3:47:01And Craig Barubi, Brew Rubi was a a tough man.
- 3:47:05He was in a great world renowned scorer gold, you know, great
- 3:47:09hockey player. So I mean, there's there's
- 3:47:11others, but I I just popping into my head, but we got to get
- 3:47:15to the last thing, man. So we call this.
- 3:47:17What's that smell? Hold up, what is that smell?
- 3:47:21What's? That smell.
- 3:47:27Wow, you don't see that everyday.
- 3:47:30All right, ladies and gentlemen, the queue is back.
- 3:47:34Popped in with the Yankee hat. I think I like my Yankee hat a
- 3:47:37little bit better. Just saying.
- 3:47:39Anyways, challenge is brought anyway, so this is what we're
- 3:47:45going to do. We're going to tell you a story
- 3:47:47and we're going to tell you what it smells like.
- 3:47:48So tonight we're going to go with Fish.
- 3:47:52Q Speedy me, here we go. All right, guys, I'm going to
- 3:47:57start it off. I've got a really fascinating
- 3:47:59story from one of the better injured off injured pitchers in
- 3:48:04baseball, Blake Snell. He's on the Dodgers, hasn't
- 3:48:07pitched all year, pitched deep into the playoffs, but he was
- 3:48:10hurt most of the year, on and off at an up and down year.
- 3:48:13Well, he's playing MLB The Show online against, you know, doing
- 3:48:20a live stream so other people can watch him play video games
- 3:48:25pretending he can actually still throw the ball while he's hurt.
- 3:48:29Well, one commentator said something about him getting off
- 3:48:32the injured list, and his response went viral on social
- 3:48:37media. This is Snell's response.
- 3:48:41Hey, shoulder, don't have inflammation.
- 3:48:44Don't, don't pitch in the postseason when it doesn't feel
- 3:48:47good. Don't try to win a World Series.
- 3:48:50Oh, you can't start the season because your shoulder hurts from
- 3:48:52pitching? We'll figure it out.
- 3:48:54Like, what the F do you want me to do?
- 3:48:56And then he continued. People asked him for an apology.
- 3:49:02This is what he said. I should watch my language a
- 3:49:04little bit, but outside of that, it was pretty true.
- 3:49:07He told that to The Athletic. I'm just very excited about how
- 3:49:09I feel right now, where I'm at, getting back to some normalcy
- 3:49:12again. What are?
- 3:49:13You good? I just can't wait to pitch.
- 3:49:18I have to agree with Snell. I just have to agree with him.
- 3:49:22He went out there, said a few things, treated some people,
- 3:49:27kinda. He's a crybaby.
- 3:49:31Whore bag. Treated him like crybaby.
- 3:49:34H bags yeah or WH bags. I agree Errol, just a terrible
- 3:49:39type of way to handle yourself. But to be honest, why are you on
- 3:49:43a live stream playing video games where people can Heckle
- 3:49:45you? What are you doing if you're not
- 3:49:47trying to get the attention in the 1st place?
- 3:49:49What is this smell like? Well I looked up Blake smells
- 3:49:52from Seattle, WA. We all know that they love their
- 3:49:57salmon over there. So this is some rotting salmon
- 3:50:00carcass that this one smells like.
- 3:50:04Beluga whales mating. All right.
- 3:50:06Q. What do you got for us?
- 3:50:09All right, that's something. Mario.
- 3:50:12Seat tonight, you know, now that's Michigan coach no more,
- 3:50:18just got probation and no jail time and it's misdemeanicated,
- 3:50:22the judge, Judge Cedric Simpson, said during the sentence.
- 3:50:26I don't believe when I look at the entirety of this situation
- 3:50:30that incarceration should be appropriate.
- 3:50:34Now, I'm not a fan of any of the behaviors that Coach Moore
- 3:50:38displayed. And it's Michigan Star, and I'm
- 3:50:41not so certain that he shouldn't have got some jail time just to
- 3:50:45kind of keep justice balanced a little bit.
- 3:50:50But he gets 18 months of probation and $1000 fine.
- 3:50:56Smells like you guys. Tell me what it smells like.
- 3:51:00I can't think of a word, Sophie. Bag of doughnuts over there.
- 3:51:05That works. All right, Speedy.
- 3:51:09All right, so you get your Java drops ready, because this one is
- 3:51:12all devoted to Mr. Java Chamberlain.
- 3:51:14It's. About my pick.
- 3:51:15It's about. Nebraska forward this is another
- 3:51:17good future sounded out Burke Buch Tunsil, who is a Turkish
- 3:51:22that one like a forward. He gets a tattoo of Nebraska's
- 3:51:2828 and seven season celebrating how they go to the side 16.
- 3:51:31Nebraska's best season in their team history.
- 3:51:34As Jabba mentioned, they were the only Power Five team that
- 3:51:38never won an NCAA Tournament game before this and he gets a
- 3:51:41tattoo to commemorate that. And what does he do a day later?
- 3:51:45Goes into the transfer portal and he is getting roasted all
- 3:51:48over the place as. Many.
- 3:51:49I wouldn't piss on him if he was.
- 3:51:50On as many players do when they enter the transfer portal.
- 3:51:53So what does that smell like? It's out of my ass.
- 3:51:55It smells like Jabba sucking 20 he ate eggs for.
- 3:51:58He tastes himself. For every game that they won and
- 3:52:02mixing it with that one of those chili cinnamon rolls that each
- 3:52:06in my breath claims as a delicacy.
- 3:52:08And then he farts in church a bunch of times.
- 3:52:11Sometimes I sit on it. Sweet ate eggs.
- 3:52:13I love that part. One of my other ones, like last
- 3:52:17month too, was a Mets prospect that apparently ate like 2020
- 3:52:21like hard boiled eggs a day. So I kind of want it based on
- 3:52:24that so. All right, right, our fin, our
- 3:52:28final. What's that smell?
- 3:52:29Rap mega star J. Cole said Tuesday that his time
- 3:52:34playing professional basketball in China has come to an end.
- 3:52:38After one game, the work visa process took way longer than I
- 3:52:43expected, so I was able to play in one before heading back, Cole
- 3:52:49said in a statement. Early in April, the two time
- 3:52:53Grammy Mega Star Platinum Star signs a deal with the Najing
- 3:53:00Monkey Kings in China Basketball Association and was scheduled to
- 3:53:05play in at least three games for the club.
- 3:53:09But guess what, ladies and gentlemen?
- 3:53:11He couldn't because he couldn't get a visa.
- 3:53:14He couldn't get a visa in time. So he only played in one game.
- 3:53:20So let me ask you a question, Jay.
- 3:53:22And I love you and I know you're a good basketball player.
- 3:53:24You have a tremendous game, basketball game.
- 3:53:26You play good. You play very well in high
- 3:53:29school, could have been a college superstar.
- 3:53:31Some people think you might have made it the NBA.
- 3:53:35But. Mitre and Making It are two
- 3:53:39different things, and my opinion here is keep rapping.
- 3:53:43I mean, that's what you're good at.
- 3:53:44Your sensation or your album came out.
- 3:53:47Love it. I love everything about you.
- 3:53:48You're real. You tell stories.
- 3:53:50You're the closest thing to Nas. That's what I want to hear.
- 3:53:54You bring out the greatness in what hip hop is and all this
- 3:53:59garbage that comes out. You want to push them away.
- 3:54:01So J. Cole, you know what it smells
- 3:54:04like? It smells like roses on one side
- 3:54:08and doggy Doo Doo on the other. And as Jabba always says.
- 3:54:14I have to take a shit. I don't want to take any more
- 3:54:17dumps. I just want to see you in
- 3:54:19Grammys and not have to worry about getting on a basketball
- 3:54:23court and pulling a hamstring or slipping on something.
- 3:54:27Shoot the three. And shooting the three, that's
- 3:54:31it. So anyways, that is what's that
- 3:54:34smell? Thank you to all the fans out
- 3:54:36there. Thank you to no guest.
- 3:54:38I'm just kidding, sniffing. It doesn't matter.
- 3:54:40We got the show out there. It was a great, great.
- 3:54:43Errol, we actually got in touch with our the guy who was
- 3:54:46supposed to come on, Jason Smith.
- 3:54:47We're going to reschedule him for later in the playoffs.
- 3:54:49Sure that he's actually going to come on the show.
- 3:54:51I'm just. Saying, oh good, Jason.
- 3:54:53We we had an issue of a phone dying out of location.
- 3:54:57Just made my nipples hard. Just was a little too late
- 3:54:59together. Let's hope.
- 3:55:01The only thing I have to say, and I don't know Smith, and I
- 3:55:04hope, I hope it's true. I'm just saying I want to make
- 3:55:08sure that these guys are going to be on.
- 3:55:09I want to make sure and I want to make sure that somebody here
- 3:55:13takes my word of advice when I say test everything before the
- 3:55:19show. Now, I don't want to hear.
- 3:55:21I know, I know, or not even answering me.
- 3:55:23I want to hear yes Sir, yes, Sir, yes, Sir.
- 3:55:27Because when things like this happen, you say, oh boy, I'm
- 3:55:31saying this is old boy. You say that, right?
- 3:55:35Now you must go like Full Metal Jacket, right?
- 3:55:37Yes, IA 100 percent, 100%. The fact here is the fact here
- 3:55:43is no, there's no meeting on this.
- 3:55:45I'm 5 foot 9. I wouldn't piss on him if he was
- 3:55:49on. Fire and that would be the truth
- 3:55:51right now how I feel about the old speedster.
- 3:55:54The fact here is I just I want things to go a little bit more
- 3:55:58smoothly. I work my ass off on the back
- 3:56:00end. I tried to do the things that
- 3:56:02everybody keeps complaining about.
- 3:56:04I worked really hard to make sure that it got done.
- 3:56:07And somebody, he just doesn't put his heart and soul into the
- 3:56:10back end the way I asked him to do earlier today.
- 3:56:13So I'm just saying you guys could say whatever you want.
- 3:56:16You don't know what I deal with. And then I hear complaints on
- 3:56:18the back end from everybody else.
- 3:56:20It pisses me off. I don't care what anybody says
- 3:56:23anyways as far as I'm concerned. Thank you to all the Spotify and
