• 1:41
  Speaker 5: go ahead and appreciate forty nine.
• 1:43

• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Do you know Jalen Brunston's birthday?
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: No?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Actually you don't know your PlayStation five friends birthday?

  Speaker 2: So Mikey is a year removed from a big anniversary.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Is he's a year away from a big birthday? Both
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: of you are five?
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: All right, we celebrating chill hear? Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: The other amazing thing I heard right before we got
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: started was Israel wanted to talk about a soccer game
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and the only soccer game that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Didn't really matter.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm a man USA last night losing to uh,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I don't even know who they played.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: It was late Turkey.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: So you're going like the Fawn and I'm going like
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Sean Paul, okay.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: Exactly a STU.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: The game meant absolutely nothing, but they still found a
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: way to make it the most painful experience from a
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: game that meant absolutely nothing, because it's hey, look we
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: went up one to oh oh no, now we're down
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: two to one, and we look like turns, what do
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: we do? Let's play Christian Polisic. Christian Polistic comes in
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: the game, makes some stuff happen. Oh, we tied the
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: game to two, We look great, now doesn't matter, just
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: shift into neutral whatever, let the clock expire to two.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Is fine. And yet at the very end, ye player
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: don't even know his name. He nutmegs Christian Polistic, which
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: is absolutely perfect, and then a couple passes later ends
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: up in a Turkey a goal with no time left
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: on the clock, basically a buzzer beater, and it's like, wait,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: a second that didn't mean a damn thing. Then why
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: is my heart on fire? Why am I so angry
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: right now? Why does it feel like I want to
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: tell the US team to go back like for two
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: months and practice again because you're not going to do
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: very well. It's just it changed everything for me. It
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: changed a feeling like maybe this team can make the
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Semis to ooh, I don't know. Bosnia Herzegovina is no guarantee.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: You realize they sat many of their starters guys who
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: went yellow cards. They didn't want to risk losing those guys.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But now, so this is interesting. So now you didn't
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: know who those guys were.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: I barely knew who half of them were, right, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: don't know who these new guys were. So it's all
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: the same to me.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And I think your larger point is this team is
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: in no position to take any game or any team
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: for granted, even.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: If that game doesn't mean a single thing.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: And you felt like they were a little bit lazy
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: last night, both with playing time and just the way
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: they executed and played. I know nothing of what I
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: speak of right now. I know Pulisic had a goal
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: he should have scored that he needs to bend it
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: like Beckham. He can't do that because he's not as
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: good as Beckham. But that was a goal and now
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you're going into this, you know, knockout stage where you're
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: not feeling nearly as good because of that loss as
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you would have had the USA gone three and out.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: I understand, Yizzy, Yeah, is he.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Is definitely in the majority here today because I don't
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: know if if panic is not the right word, but
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: there is a level of unies going into the knockout
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: rounds right now if you're USA, and I'm not really
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: sure what people expected or wanted in a game that
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: was that was meaningless.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Stu.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: You mentioned they made rotations to their starting eleven. They
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: were without Tim Reem, Chris Richards, Anthony Robinson, Sergenio desk
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Fuller and Balligan, Tyler Adams, Matt Frees. Those are all
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: guys that started the last tea. Yeah, if I'm doing
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: glass half full. The most encouraging sign, the most encouraging
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: sign for this USA team was the fact that Christian
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Polisick even came on for the last thirty plus minutes
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: where everybody is now moving the goalpost for this USA
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: team when they win the first two games and saying
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: they have to get to the quarterfinals. They have to
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: get to the quarterfinals. For the USA to make it
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: to the quarterfinals, they're gonna need Christian Polisic to be
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: in top form. And the Nutmeg wasn't great, but the
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: thirty minutes he kind of changed the entire US offense
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: going forward once he came on.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You said, is he's in the majority, they call me
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: in the minority. I call it a good loss. That's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a good loss for that. Really, you want to lose
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a game that means absolutely nothing, starting a bunch of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: backups and you still took him to the last possible second.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You know what, you got your loss out of the way.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Now you can go into the knockout round feeling good.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: These are all positive signs for US men's soccer that
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: we care enough that we're talking about res versus rust.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You know, like, all these are all positive things. I'm
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: kind of with Izzy though. You're the United States, You're
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: trying to prove something to the rest of the world.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: We have finally arrived at this sport. We've been talking
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: about arriving since you know, sheep messing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: In the eighties.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, and now here we are and you don't
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: want to lose that game to Turkey A.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, Turkey's fine, but Turkey A.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: And there's a certain level of defensiveness from everybody from
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: this USA team. Right now, where after the game, Murcio
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Pochettino is being interviewed by the press, and the press
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: are all asking him questions like do you feel like
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: you lost momentum? Do you feel like the team took
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: a step back today? And Pochtino was like, hey, guys,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys know this. We won
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: the group. We're going to the next round. TURKYA is
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: going home. The way that you're asking questions right now
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: makes it sound like we're the ones that are packing
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: our bags. Yeah, it is hard to understate how big
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: a massive dip in quality there is between the top
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: end of this USA team and the bottom end of
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: this USA team, where somebody like Tim Reim is a
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: player that catches a lot of flak. He's one of
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: the starting center backs. He's made close to like three
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: hundred appearances with Fulham in England. He's thirty eight years
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: old starting for this team, and everybody watches him and
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: is like, why is this guy starting? There has to
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: be somebody better. There has to be somebody better. You
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: saw yesterday when he's not starting, there is nobody better.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: It gets very bad verus, which.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Is my entire point, right, Like if the dip in
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: quality was so great and you lose five to one, Okay,
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: the game doesn't mean anything. Didn't matter to them, they're
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: playing care free. Didn't matter to us, so we're playing
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: our second tier. That's that's okay. I walk out of
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: that game feeling Okay, it's like, let's get ready to
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: get those starters back in there. But it's just a feeling.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: It's just the worst possible way it could have ended
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: was the way it ended, because I mean, you saw
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Turkey A the way they celebrated, it's like they don't
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: have to go home. It's like they change their outcome
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: with that one goal. It didn't. It didn't change a
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: damn thing. And look how good that felt, right, So
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: all I wanted was to not have the other team
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: feel that on you know, on us, like on our
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: behalf or whatever on top of us, right, because it
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: just it's it's the feeling you don't want. It's the
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: one feeling you don't want and for it to be
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: now people are critical of us and they don't know
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: what they're talking about. So now it becomes like us
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: versus you guys thing, and it's just like, that's not
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: the feeling I want going into the knockout round, right,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I would tell Turkey A to relax.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, you want a meaningless soccer game? How does
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: that sound?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Have we arrived at a place where beating the United
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: States is that big of a deal.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: It's a moral victory.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: Get the hell out of the World Cup.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Win for Turkey against our B teams against Turkey B USB,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: USB USBB.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: STU.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I have this stat if it makes people feel better,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Like today, people are doing doom and gloom with this
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: USA team until this next game against Bosnia. But I
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: have this stat. Every World Cup winner since two thousand
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: and six had drop points in the group stage.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: By the way, the word I was looking for earlier
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: was at our expense. It's my birthday. I get one
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: of us.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: What a dose of medicine Talagers gave me. I suddenly
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: feel great? I feel later good.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Loss good loss. I mean, I'm Mikey, you have talked
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: me into this is a great loss. I just don't
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: I just don't want to relive the very end.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: But I think what you're what you're railing against, is
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: why do you have to celebrate such a meaningless victory
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: so badly right in front of.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Our face, you know, in the home stadium page let's go,
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: or you've got all the fans like, damn it, I
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: painted my face for this.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, the fans were into it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I can't shocking, shocking to see United States fans this
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: into soccer. I imagine they wouldn't be nearly this into soccer
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: if the World Cup was taking place during October.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: So I consider myself a bit of a soccer snob,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Like I'm watching all the Premier League, I'm watching Syria,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I'm watching La Liga, I'm watching all the kind of soccer.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: If I could just give a tip to the broadcasters
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: for for Fox Sports, on this broadcast, we have to
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: stop showing celebrity fans when when when the game is
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: going on, Like if you want to save that for halftime,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: you want to you want to do a little pregame
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: package showing us who's in attendance when the matches going on.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I don't need to be thinking where is the ball
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: right now? Oh wait, never mind, I'm watching Brad Pete
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: on my screen.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: See the line that said, showed Ed Norton Junior speaking
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: to himself. Yeah, because he was talking to Brad Pitt.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: That was hilarious for bam Wagon. I'm not with you
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: on that one. I'll take the celebrity shot at any point.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: In fact, if they want to not go to commercials
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: during the hydration break and just show celebrities, I would
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: add that too. I think that's great. I love when
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: they show the celebrity. It's obvious that they show a
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: celebrity on the big screen during the game, and the
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: American fans don't know what's happening on the field. All
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: they're cheering for is Brad Pitt's on the screen. That's
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: my favorite part.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Let's be honest, even when they're watching the game, they
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: don't know what's.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Going on the fields. Anyway, go ahead like you.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I also find it a little ironic that the Knicks
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: fan is complaining about them showing all the celebrities in
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the stands.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: Well because he wants it for himself. I mean, I'd
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: love to.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: See Kirk Herbstreet's dog at this game. Can't believe he
• 12:23

• 13:52
  Speaker 6: you out? Did mikeya help you out? Mikey b.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: I feel Listen, I felt fine going coming out of
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: the game. It was just one of those you could
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: have done this any other way and I wouldn't have
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: any single reason to say a negative word about you.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: And now this is what happened. That kind of feel
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: good that it happened to Polistic. The nutmeg was a
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: little uh fitting because he just I don't know, he
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: seemed a little too aggressive last night defensively, he could
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: have just chilled a little bit.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: But it's nice to know he's healthy moving forward here, right,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: It's great.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Look, there's nothing you can really take out of that
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: game and say, oh, now they're going to struggle against Bosnia. No,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: it's a completely different team basically, like Taylor said, And
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: it is what it is in terms of, you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: the approach to it. But it just it just hurt
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: a little bit and it wasn't supposed to hurt at all.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, now we have expectations, Right, that's what happens. Yes,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: we're greedy, the United States. We're greedy sports fans got the.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: This is kind of a revenge game for me coming
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: up in this next round, stew Because if you remember
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: the name Bosnia, why that sounds familiar in the soccer world. Yeah,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Bosnia is the team that eliminated Italy and Europe's qualifying playoffs.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: So like this this is a chance for Like I'm
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I'm American and I'm Italian, and this is my chance
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: had a little get back against the boys from Bosnia.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Right, So the Italians didn't make it this year, and
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you figure, hey, America, repay the favor. Like, let's do
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Italy a favor here and get back at Bosnia for
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: that bad loss years ago that no one remembers except
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: And there's a couple of players on this USA team
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: that play overseas in Italy, Christian Polis, Sake, Weston McKinney.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I think some of those fan bases are gonna want
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: their guys to take a little revenge too.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking about Mikey's anniversary the entire time. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: have to be honest, I know we were talking soccer.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: This is a dangerous game. You're coming off the tenth,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: you're at the eleventh. Right, you did it. You made
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a big deal about the tenth anniversary, and she's thinking
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: he's gonna mail it in for the eleventh. Yeah, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I am telling you that's a dangerous game. Do not
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: mail in an anniversary. They're too important. All of the ten, eleven, twelve.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: She's expecting you to mail it in. This is a
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: chance for you to look very good in her eyes today.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Seriously, see that sounds like a dangerous precedent. You go
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: big for eleven, you got to go bigger for twelve.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: I don't have that in me.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: No, do you know what? Do you know what the
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: eleventh coast? Do you know what the eleventh year gift
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: is supposed to be? I don't, do you I do.

  Speaker 6: Mikey.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: What about a football signed by the Steel Curtain.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's not terrible and I have to give.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: It to her.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I get it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: How's he going to put that together in the next
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: couple of hours? Get to meet Joe Green and Jack Lambert?
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, still, you want to help me out?
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know you got their number as so you
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: want me to get her?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Get ahold of Jack ham Aaron learn if these people
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: are alive?
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: Speaking of stealing money, did you see Al Horford resigned
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: with the Warriors to your twenty season.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: It's amazing. Listen.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: He can delay his entry into the Basketball Hall of
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Fame for as long as he'd like.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: He has earned it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Al Horford is alleged twenty years in the NBA. Al Horford,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: in all seriousness, is one of the really good guys,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: is he?
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I know you know this.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: He is one of the really good guys we've ever
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: seen play in the NBA. And I do wonder if
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Al Horford has a chance of making it into Pro
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Basketball's Hall of Fame, which would be ludicrous, But when
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you consider other people who've gotten in there, I think
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Al Horford has a chance and he might just get
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: in because he played two decades.
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, he's had so many Hall of Fame teammates.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: He should he feels should feel like he's in there already.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: I think we talked about this before, right Taylor, Did
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: we really create like a possibility for Al Horford to
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: make the Hall of Fame because of a championship, because
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: of two college championships, and because of his longevity. I
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: don't think that's gonna work out for him.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure the Hall of Fame probability has him
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: pretty low.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Although he's a Hall of Fame contract signer, because is
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: this going to be his last season? We don't know.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: He cigned his player option for this year to sign
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: a two year, fourteen million dollars deal, So maybe he's
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: back next year for a year twenty one. I don't
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: think this guy can get enough.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, someone's still willing to pay him fourteen million dollars.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: You're going to take that, right, Seriously? Do you have
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: his probability chances? What they have to be low?
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: It's a quarter twenty six percent?
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, gott to finish Lurry.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Knicks had had less of a chance to
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: win every single finals game they played in according to
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: the ESPN statistics.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get carried away with my nick
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: cockin this year. But we are fresh off a championship
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and I'm reading here that Mitchell Robinson's is unlikely to return.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: To the next next season.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: This is per Stefan Bondi of the New York Post,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and I don't care how of that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Well, this whole problem is the Knicks front office. This
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: is per Fred Katz, and the Knicks front office wants
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: to go over the second Apron this offseason, but James
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Dolan has not changed his mind on not doing so.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: And what it seems like we're getting Stu is James
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Dolan got his title he's kicking his feet up. He
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: did that whole speech at the parade saying, I promise
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: it won't be this long until the next time. He's
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: not promising that they go back to back though, or
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: do their best efforts to try to go back to back,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: because I think you would bring back Mitchell Robinson, you
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: would bring back Landry Shaman. Is he correct me if
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong? The second apron handicaps teams, but you're also
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: it doesn't discourage teams from bringing back their own guys.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Still correct? Yeah, so the second apron, I mean it
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: hardcaps you, is what it does. But what I'm curious about, Taylor,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: is what is more likely to you that the Knicks
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: win another championship under you know, Jalen Brunson's time here,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: or Jalen Brunson gets so frustrated he asked for a trade.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Because this is like Wayne Heisinger territory for for James Dolan.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: If he doesn't give it a full effort on run
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: it back or you know, some version of championship, you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: repeat run, they're gonna get frustrated. They're going to start
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: to look at things and say, hey, this guy's cheap
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: he's not letting us continue this run. I don't think
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: that that is too much to believe that is a possibility,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Like I think that could happen.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: So I think Jalen Brunson has not in terms of
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: what they've done and what they've won in terms of
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: that level. But Jalen Brunson has reached Derek Jeter level,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: where like you couldn't imagine Derek Jeter ever requesting a
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: trade away from the New York Yankees, I think Jalen
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Brunson has reached that with the Knicks, where he'll try
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: to find a way to make it work because he
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: knows what his legacy in New York is and could
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: be if he just stays there the rest of his career.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: But this isn't so this is strange, right or unique.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: It's not James Harden versus a GM right. It's it
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: would be if we're painting this out, it would be
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: the team versus the owner, because the owners.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: It would be Jalen versus the owner, and Jayler's gonna
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: win that in the court of public opinion every time.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: But that doesn't matter if the other guy owns the team. Right. Still,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: it's like exactly an interesting stand. I feel like I'm
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: creating a tension where there isn't anybody, There's nothing.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Just Mitchell Robinson.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: He's not coming back, so okay, he's going to play
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: this into more money. James Dolon is not saying he's
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: not going to replace him. Yeah, no, there are roster limits.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: He has to replace him. I'm just saying, Mitchell Robinson,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I don't care he's anyone to me.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: But little things like that start to get to people
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: like you remember Mike Miller not coming back and the
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Heat saving money by by not keeping him ticked off
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: Lebron James and some people say, you know, eventually led
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: to him leaving.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I think Knicks fans have had the idea that Mitchell
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Robinson could be a cap casualty from this team trying
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: to repeat next season. That's why when you're picking at
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: twenty four, the thought process was, let's draft a big
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Let's draft a replacement when you trade out of that
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: pick and you trade out of the first round, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: all the explanations where we want to save that three
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: and a half million towards putting it at getting us
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: as close to the second Apron as possible. Then you're
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: coming out and saying, well, now, Mitchell Robinson's most likely
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: not coming back, and we didn't draft a replacement in
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: the first round. It's like, wait, where where are these
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: replacements coming? Because right now it seems like their attention
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: is now turning to bringing back Jose Alvarado and Landry Shammitt,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: But you're still leaving a big hole in that backup
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: center position unless you're just saying Porty's gonna be the
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: guy and you're just gonna increase Huck Porties.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: All I'm saying is that when it becomes obvious that
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: you are now just trying to save dollars and not
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: necessarily building the championship team that you were so desperate
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: for for fifty some years, then the players are going
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: to be like, you know, what the hell I can
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I can do this somewhere else now I've already accomplished
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: it here.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: No, that's fair.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: How do you think the fans will respond because they
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: got what they wanted, They got a title, you know
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I want.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: That's a good question, because I wonder if they're just
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: you know, floating on air for the next decade, because it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Kind of where I'm at. It's like, Hey, if the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Knicks never win another title, I'm good. I saw it
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: like I'm good. I checked off a box.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: You know, it's going to be interesting to see because
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: so many fans have said for so long, just give
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: me one, just get me one, Just give me one.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: And now that you got one, are you going to
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: be okay? If they go you got your one, You're
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: We're good now.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ranger fans said the same thing for many,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: many years, and they got there one with Mark Messier,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and I have the Ranger fans been complaining ever since.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: I think they're happy they got their one.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: Right, Oh, you're right.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: I haven't really heard championship drought. Every time they think
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: of ninety four, they get all nostalgic and forget that
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: they're mad.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Mikey, like thirty years please, Mikey. I was definitely in
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: that camp of saying, just give me one. I just
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: want to see one mixed title before I die. Now
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: that I'm standing on the mountaintop, I've got my sword
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: kind of drawn out, I'm saying, I want to defend
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: this thing, right, I want to go back back.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: You have the ability to you have the general, the
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: little general. I don't want to call him little. You
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: have the man in the middle who can get you
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: there in Jalen Brunson, and it's like, yeah, why not
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: another one. It's not like we got lucky. It's not
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: like there was some sort of I can't believe I
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: said we and there's some sort of like you know,
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Gutsy Hoosiers film, it's like you got a championship team.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Run it back, yep, listen, I have breaking news here.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not certain if you guys are aware, but the
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Mets of Fire their.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Manager, really they had a manager. Huh.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Mendoza's got wow might yeah right, you're right.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you who reported the news to me,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: My wife Abby?
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Wow. See Abby's trustworthy. The other websites you go to,
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Know that Mendoza god Menoza.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Thirty four and forty seven. I mean, that team has
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: been just a train wreck this entire season. They just
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: got swept by the Cubs and their whole thing. Izzy
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: was bringing in better defenders this season and they're they're
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: were like, we're doing run prevention. We bring in Marcus Simeon,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: where we have Hore Polanco at first base, moving Bobachett
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: around was never going to be that good. But there
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Their whole thing was run prevention and trying to stop
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: teams from scoring runs. And then they gave up six
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: errors two nights ago against the Cubs and they got
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: swept by Chicago at home.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: When I think of defense wins championships, yeah, and I
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: think of baseball, I'm just thinking pitching, like I'm not
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: they like, I'm not creating my team, so defense can
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: win me a championship Like that was very nineteen sixties,
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: isn't it Maybe eighties with AUSI Smith.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: I don't know, h it was a good defensive team. Really,
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: what Willie McGee I mean?
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I feel like the key for being a president of
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: operations for a sports team you can't create a phrase
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: that other people could then use against you. Like the
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: second he said run prevention, We're gonna limit opponents scoring
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: through upgrade of defense and pitching upgrades. The second back
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: comes against you, everybody's gonna be like run prevention, run prevention.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: You got Salakot on his podcast calling it fun prevention.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, trust the process stop a home run.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: So jealous came up with that, Like.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: How much better would we feel about the seventy six
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: ers and what they had going with Embiid and Folds
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: and Ben Simmons. If they never had the phrase, to
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Mikey's point, trust the process, it would have just been like,
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: not that great of a rebuild. But instead you had
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: the whole expectations of the process.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: Correct, dream team you have?
• 27:07
