J.E. Skeets

They travel with these guys.

They're with them the entire season.

And it's just part of the bonding and like the experience of being a fan.

So, yeah, this is kind of disappointing and not something I'd really considered either until Mike Breen of all people comes out and says it.

I think it is important that it's Mike Breen saying it because if this is just whatever random... Matty Devlin?

Well, Matty Devlin has done also a national broadcast.

I was trying to think of just somebody that only does...

their local broadcasts, then you're like, okay, you're just salty because you of course want to do it.

But Mike Breen, he does both.

He does the Knicks games and then he's the lead voice for ABC and ESPN.

So it carries more weight to me, him saying this.

He even said it.

He's like, I'm going to be on the call.

I'm paid handsomely.

And he knows it's because the new media deal with Prime and NBC and ESPN, like they paid millions upon millions to get these games.

So he understands it, but he's at the same time.

Come on, man.

What about the local fan bases?

Yeah.

of these squads and these broadcasters too it's really weird when you think about it's like you do all 82 games and then they're like all right bye we got it from here yeah it's like yeah can't even get a first round get to get in on the fun of like the crazy crowds and stuff like that for this so we're all with mike breen on this one but these are going to be on
