Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore. Natalie.
- 0:08Speaker 2: What are you smiling about? She's the Cheshire Cat over there. Well,
- 0:12Speaker 2: because I'm sure you walked right into euphoric fans.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Who are believing for the first time Jets and Giants
- 0:20Speaker 3: winning their opening games together.
- 0:23Speaker 2: It's like unheard of. What's the face for?
- 0:26Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'm laughing because we were saying how we
- 0:30Speaker 4: should grab Jets and Giants fans ahead of the weekend.
- 0:33Speaker 4: because we just don't know how things are going to
- 0:35Speaker 4: shake out for their second games.
- 0:39Speaker 2: That's fair, isn't it? Tough games.
- 0:41Speaker 3: Tough games.
- 0:41Speaker 4: Yes, and it comes as the Jets are set to
- 0:44Speaker 4: host the Packers for their home opener game this Sunday
- 0:49Speaker 4: after winning their first game last season, hopefully setting the
- 0:53Speaker 4: tone for some fans.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Even with a.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Win, though, my friends, gentlemen, Jets fans say it's only
- 1:01Speaker 4: the first game. And I love this time of year
- 1:04Speaker 4: because this is my favorite part. Everyone becomes a coach.
- 1:09Speaker 1: The game I witnessed was the type of game, even
- 1:11Speaker 1: though it was 23 to like 10, I feel like
- 1:13Speaker 1: You should have blew them out even more.
- 1:15Speaker 3: So yeah, I guess what needs to change is executional offense.
- 1:18Speaker 4: A little more.
- 1:19Speaker 3: So far, so good, boys.
- 1:20Speaker 1: That's not our last.
- 1:21Speaker 3: That's the way it is. Chants.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I mean, they're missing a lot on that team. They
- 1:25Speaker 1: still don't have, like, a defensive quarterback. And they, you know,
- 1:28Speaker 1: gave away their best defensive players.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Right?
- 1:30Speaker 1: So, I mean, it really started from scratch. So, I
- 1:32Speaker 1: really don't expect much, but I'm hoping that Woody Johnson
- 1:35Speaker 1: finally gets together, realizes what the Giants did, and you
- 1:39Speaker 1: need a Hall of Fame coach in New York to
- 1:40Speaker 1: be able to, you know, New York's a different beast.
- 1:42Speaker 1: You know, you see what happened with the Knicks. They
- 1:44Speaker 1: got a good coach, right? Got a good GM. So,
- 1:46Speaker 1: you finally got a tip.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Are you, were you talking to Mets fans or Jet
- 1:50Speaker 2: fans here?
- 1:51Speaker 4: I think a part of them are just all a mix.
- 1:54Speaker 4: Some of them wore a Jets and a Mets fan.
- 1:57Speaker 4: I'm not going to lie. One guy wore his Mets
- 1:59Speaker 4: hat and was talking about the Jets.
- 2:02Speaker 2: First of all, they were all great. They were really good.
- 2:05Speaker 2: But you can tell they have trepidation. They don't want
- 2:07Speaker 2: to get their hopes up. They don't want false promises.
- 2:11Speaker 2: They're already thinking, oh, we're going to lose the next five.
- 2:14Speaker 4: There's no delusions. There's no illusion, okay, that they're even
- 2:18Speaker 4: going to get close to winning a Super.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Bowl, okay?
- 2:24Speaker 2: What a horrible laugh at them getting to the Super Bowl.
- 2:27Speaker 4: No, they're fans. None of them, I'm telling you guys.
- 2:32Speaker 4: I was on the street. I have the sound to
- 2:34Speaker 4: back it up.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:35Speaker 4: As hopeful as they are and as nice as this
- 2:39Speaker 4: is to see their team come out of the gate.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Larry, this is just like Met fans. Yeah. They have
- 2:44Speaker 2: that same attitude. Well, what about Giant fans?
- 2:47Speaker 4: Okay.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Remember the Larry David episode? Every time they talked about
- 2:51Speaker 2: the Jets, they all said effing Jets.
- 2:57Speaker 4: I mean, it takes a lot of dedication at this
- 2:59Speaker 4: point in time to be, you know, a Jets fan. Really,
- 3:02Speaker 4: a lot of New York sports teams fans. We're all
- 3:05Speaker 4: going for it in a sense. But same thing for
- 3:08Speaker 4: the Giants, okay? They've got one win under their belt,
- 3:11Speaker 4: and they've only played one game. And optimism about how
- 3:14Speaker 4: far Big Blue is going this season seems to be
- 3:17Speaker 4: a little bit stronger, actually, especially after their 28-20 win
- 3:21Speaker 4: against the Cowboys.
- 3:22Speaker 1: The Giants against Dallas was a good game. I didn't
- 3:25Speaker 1: expect them to beat Dallas. So the Rams is going
- 3:27Speaker 1: to be just as good at the game.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Fantastic.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Dart and what's the guy, Scatterboom, they're bringing new life
- 3:33Speaker 1: to football.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Everybody thinks that, you know, mystery is going to repeat itself,
- 3:37Speaker 3: but it's not. You know, Giants are going to be
- 3:39Speaker 3: much better this year. I have very high expectations. We
- 3:43Speaker 3: finally have a quarterback, great defense, Hall of Fame coach.
- 3:47Speaker 1: What more do you want? You definitely needed to change
- 3:49Speaker 1: coaching stuff. They got the right draft for the right
- 3:51Speaker 1: position this year. I'm not too sure they're going to
- 3:53Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl, but they're going to be
- 3:54Speaker 1: a contender this year.
- 3:56Speaker 2: What a difference between Jet fans and Giant fans. There's
- 4:01Speaker 2: pretty good reason for it, though. There is good reason.
- 4:04Speaker 4: They made legitimately big changes, and obviously the Jets fans
- 4:08Speaker 4: are really waiting for more changes to happen on the
- 4:11Speaker 4: field than what was seen, and the Giants have made
- 4:16Speaker 4: way big of a difference, so they're feeling more hope.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Their coach is tremendous, and Jackson Dart is just fun.
- 4:23Speaker 2: He's going to be a star in the league. By
- 4:25Speaker 2: the way, the NFL has the Giants on four times
- 4:29Speaker 2: in primetime. Guess how many times the Jets are on
- 4:31Speaker 2: in primetime? Zero.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Zip.
- 4:34Speaker 3: None.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Zilch. But hey, at least it won't be like that
- 4:38Speaker 4: won't be for the wins to losses this year. At
- 4:41Speaker 4: least even if everything goes downhill from.
- 4:43Speaker 2: There, it'll be a one. Yeah.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Oh, listen, that's a typical.
- 4:48Speaker 2: You know, there's no zip.
- 4:50Speaker 4: My family's a Jets fan. I don't really have any
- 4:52Speaker 4: loyalty to any football team. This is the one sport
- 4:56Speaker 4: in New York that I'm like, whatevs. I like to
- 4:59Speaker 4: watch it, but my fiance's a Giants fan. My brother
- 5:03Speaker 4: and dad, Jets. So, you know, we'll see how this
- 5:07Speaker 4: plays out. It's all fun for me.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Well, Natalie Migliari is going to be back Monday morning
- 5:14Speaker 2: at 7.50.
