Warner Wolf, legendary sportscaster Interview · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And to Warner Wolf we go.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: The gridiron yesterday, we saw the star of the New
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: York Giants, quarterback Jackson Dart, get, I would say, scissored
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: up and down by the L.A.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Rams, and he had to hop off the field.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Now, Warner Wolf, I remember when Tom Brady was playing
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: for the New England Patriots. They seemed to have a
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady rule. You come anywhere near Tom Brady, flags
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: went out. Man, you couldn't touch the guy. Our guy got,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, scissored there.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Come on, Warner.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: No, that was a clean play. That was clean. Clean hit. And,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: you know, you don't know. Dart suffered a medial collateral ligament.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: known as an MCL, a sprain. First series of the game,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: left knee. Now that's the leg a quarterback plants on
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: his foot before throwing. I'm no doctor, but I'll tell
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: you what, depending on the severity of the injury, which
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: the MRI will show today, hopefully he'll miss only the
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: next two games against the Titans and Cardinals. And I
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: assume he'll have to wear a leg brace today which
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: would limit his running capacity. And if it's not, and
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: it's longer, the Giants likely will not have a winning
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: season without Dart and will not have a winning season
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: with Jameis Winston, who has seen his better days. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: with Winston's backup, unused third-string quarterback Jake Hayner, who last
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: played two years ago with the Saints, If possible, if
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Dart is out long-term, then John Harbaugh will be on
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the phone very quick with other teams looking for a quarterback.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Just one question in the strategy. Remember the Giants were trailing,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: if you didn't stay up until 11-15. They were trailing
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: only 14-0 just before the half. They had a second
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: and five from the sixth, third and two from the third,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Where was Cam Scadaboo and his 300-pound blocking back, Patrick Picard? Instead,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: they gave the ball twice to Najee Harris, and they
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: had to settle for a field goal. Meanwhile, as far
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: as the Jets go, they beat themselves Sunday by not
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: taking advantage of a Green Bay team who fumbled five times.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: and had almost as many yardage and penalties, 133, as
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: they did in passing, 136, and may have set a
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Packer record for most dropped passes, which hit their receivers
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: right in the numbers. And the Jets were penalized 156 yards,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: only five yards shy of the all-time Jet record. And
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn must have gone to the Herman Edwards School
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: of Clock Management. Yeah, you could laugh at that. That
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: was clever, yeah. Using his three. He uses three timeouts
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: way too early in the first half, depriving himself of
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: a possible field goal just before the half. And most
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: coaches will tell you, if you win the flip in overtime,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: you choose to kick off and see what the other
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: team does first. Glenn chose to receive and had to punt.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: All right, changing the gears.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Can I just comment real quick? Boy, you're back to
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: being a curmudgeon again with the Giants and Jets. We
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: had one week of euphoria from you, Warner. I don't
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: think he's alone. I think it's throughout the city.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Fairweather sportscast. Now, the suspicious college football coach of the week,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma State, was a 56.5 point favorite over little Murray State.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But Oklahoma State led by only 52 points, 52 to nothing,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: with just over a minute to play. Let the clock
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: run out, right? Wrong. Oklahoma State ran it in from
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the 6-1, 59 to nothing, and beat the 56.5 point spread.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the coach must have been on his own
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: team and gave the 56.5 points. Now, as far as
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the Yankees go, trailing by six with only seven to play,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: the Yanks would almost have to sweep the four-game series
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: here against the Rays beginning today to win the division
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: and get the bye. And after the four-game series, the
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Yanks have three with Baltimore. The Rays have three in Philadelphia.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: And before you entirely blame poor decision-making Mets general manager
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: David Stearns for letting first baseman Pete Alonzo go to Baltimore,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: who hit two home runs last night, by the way,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: now has 40 home runs and 108 RBIs and more
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: than any Met player. Well, where was Met owner Steve Cohen?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: who could have easily overruled his general manager. This was
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: the worst Met move since the 77 Mets traded Tom
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Seaver to the Reds and then left him unprotected in
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: 1984 and he was picked up by the White Sox.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Perhaps Mr. Cohen should have stayed in the hedge fund business.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And this day... You could laugh at that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Wait for permission. He's on a roll. He's on a roll.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: This day in sports, 48 years ago last week, September 1978,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: 36-year-old Muhammad Ali regained his title, winning a 15-round decision
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: over Leon Spinks after losing his title to Spinks seven
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: months earlier. Now, many years later, I saw Muhammad Ali again.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: He looked at me and said, how come I'm so
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: pretty and you're still so ugly? That was it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Warner, let me tell you, this may have been your
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: finest sports broadcast ever since I came over and joined
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Larry at the hip.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: That was amazing. You were like on a roll. You
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: were on fire, Warner.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: We'll see what you say next week.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I love the voice he did at the end. You
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: know he's an actor. Oh, yeah, man. Look, his parents, Vaudevillians,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he goes to, he's in all kinds of movies. That's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Warner Wolfman! Anyway, Warner, same time, same place, next week.
