It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Get some calls in this segment at 888-808-1019, which is the Red Pocket Mobile fan line. Brought to you by your new Ultimate Cell Carrier. Red Pocket Mobile opened up with a great Knicks blowout win, doing all the things that they didn't do the previous night against Indiana and going into the All-Star break. on a very high note, which is a good thing to see, and the schedule out of the All-Star break is going to be difficult, but it's going to be difficult for the teams playing the Knicks as well, especially if they play like they did last night. But I was thinking, just with the Ben thing and what we talked about with Tom Brady, Robert Kraft, and Bill Belichick, I mean, and then we always bring up the Jordan, Pippen, and all that stuff, Luke Longley, and all these guys who couldn't stand Michael Jordan.
There has been so much drama with winning teams. Like, I understand... This past year with the Mets, everybody was talking about the clubhouse was broken, and that team played horrible for months on end. And that makes sense. They didn't get along. There was a major divide in there. David Stearns got rid of some of the players that had been a problem with that, kept some of the players, obviously, added to the clubhouse. But you have, I mean, Super Bowl and championship teams all these years later, like, despising one another. Now, I mean... You talk glowingly about your teammates and the guys that you played with, and you guys had success and won an AFC championship game and had a lot of really good seasons.
But is there a common thread between the championship bulls who hate each other? Ben Roethlisberger and that team would hate each other. I think the whole Bulls thing comes out of the 2020 documentary that we all watched. Depending on who you are in that documentary and how you come off is going to... you know, make you feel one way or the other, and I think Scottie Pippen felt like, you know, that this isn't showing me enough respect. I would think that's probably how he felt. But their relationship had been kind of crappy prior to that, and I think this just put it over the top. I mean, look, you know, Michael Jordan is the ultimate superstar, and, you know, he is basically untouchable when it comes to, like...
The greatest, one of the greatest American athletes, top five greatest American athletes of all time. Yeah. When you think about a professional athlete and you think about what his impact was on the game of basketball. Now, there are a lot of guys that helped him along those ways. And I'm not talking about his own team. I'm also talking about Magic Johnson, Larry Bird. Patrick Ewing, Isaiah Thomas, all those great players of that era saved the NBA. And David Stern realized that, look, we've got to promote these players. We've got to promote these personalities because they're the ones that people are coming to see. And that's what they did. And I just think that... When these documentaries come out and all of a sudden the social media stuff comes out, the podcasts come out, guys are a little bit looser with their opinions on podcasts than they would if they come on with us or live television.
Things come out and people react differently to those comments. That's what I think is going on here. I think the fact that everybody's got that platform does play into this.
What locker room frictions have championship teams faced?
When you sit down with your buddies and you're having a conversation, these things come out more. You get these stories about the post-playing careers of a lot of these guys that wouldn't normally be asked to come on or they wouldn't tell it in the same way because they're surrounded by their peers on these podcasts and they can let it fly where you didn't have that back in the day. A lot of these guys are just coming out and slamming everybody. Ben saying that maybe it's time to clean house, really, I mean, if he's doing a podcast, they want to hear his opinions on the Steelers.
