0.031 - 4.042 Boomer Esiason

Nick's Nuggets last night at the Garden. How about double overtime?

0

4.623 - 17.66 Unknown

Brunson floater. It's good. Five-point lead. Eight points in double overtime for Jalen Brunson. And the Nuggets want time.

0

17.681 - 29.276 Boomer Esiason

They need time. Yeah, that was Tyler Murray and Clyde on MSG. A 134-127 double overtime win over Denver. They mentioned Brunson and how great he was after the fourth quarter.

0

Chapter 2: How did Jalen Brunson perform in the game against the Nuggets?

29.296 - 40.23 Boomer Esiason

Well, he was great throughout. 42 points, eight rebounds, nine assists. Carl Anthony Towns played tough. He had 24 points and 12 rebounds. Got bloodied, came back in the game. Here was Mike Brown. Just a great night.

0

40.25 - 50.309 Unknown

What a ball game. Man, our team just showed a lot of grit, a lot of fight in this win. Just a resilient win by our guys. I know what you're going to say.

0

50.449 - 71.017 Boomer Esiason

I know what you're going to say. Yeah, the 100-shot attempts by the Knicks, 105 by Denver. The Knicks shot 50%. And how many? I think they had 53. Denver shot 50. I think the Knicks had 53 point attempts. So did Denver. Yeah. 100 of the 205 field goal attempts were threes. That's unbelievable. Yeah. Well, as I said to Al, I went to that Clipper game the other night.

0

71.237 - 71.838 Gio

It was boring.

0

71.998 - 91.545 Boomer Esiason

And the free throws are 16 of 19 for the Knicks, 22 of 27 for the Nuggets. Oof. And this game was anything but boring. But it is. It's a lot of threes. It was close the entire time. I think the largest lead was single digits. Yeah. Nine. So, I mean, it was fun. Here was your guy Mitchell Robinson on MSG. That was some atmosphere.

91.565 - 96.617 CeeLo

It felt like a playoff game. You know, we came out here with the right energy and mindset, and, you know, we had to get it done.

96.637 - 101.468 Boomer Esiason

And he played really well again. So, your key is this guy staying healthy and staying on the floor.

Chapter 3: What statistics stood out in the Knicks vs. Nuggets game?

101.488 - 118.469 Boomer Esiason

I agree, man. I mean, well, obviously, you know, Jalen playing like he's playing. I mean, I just mentioned to Boomer in the last part of the segment that I could make a case that he's the – of all the people that you don't want to see go down going into the playoffs, and Mitchell Robinson might be number two on that list. It would be a big problem. I would agree.

0

118.889 - 132.241 Boomer Esiason

Here was Brunson talking about town so late. I think it was maybe less than a minute ago on the first quarter on the drive he got hit. Goes down all bloodied. Did come back into the game. Had himself a great night. Here was Brunson.

0

132.681 - 145.584 Gio

Came back. with a vengeance and played great, played tough. It's exactly what we need. He didn't let any of that. To him, he just came back and played as hard as he could and contributed and really helped.

0

145.804 - 147.727 Boomer Esiason

Yes, he did. He's a warrior.

0

147.747 - 148.748 Gio

I've been trying to tell you guys.

148.768 - 159.122 Boomer Esiason

You won't listen to me. That's not true. He did have 24 points, though, and 12 rebounds. We talk about the three-pointers. Nikola Djokic was one for 13 from three.

159.323 - 159.803 Gio

He stinks.

160.084 - 169.797 Boomer Esiason

Even though he did have a 30-14-10 game, he was asked. He's still kind of coming back from missing time. He was asked about being off from downtown, as they say. What's going on there?

169.777 - 186.334 CeeLo

Yeah, but I couldn't make a shot. Especially lately, it was more and more off, how the game goes off. You know, it happens.

Chapter 4: What was the atmosphere like during the Knicks' victory?

200.91 - 222.923 Boomer Esiason

The Nuggets are 33-19. with the loss last night. You got the trade deadline at 3 o'clock today. You did have a lot of moves yesterday. Kristaps Porzingis goes from Atlanta to Golden State for Kaminga and healed. The Hornets acquired Kobe White and Mike Conley from the Bulls. The Thunder acquired Jared McCain from the 76ers and four draft picks the day before. You had the James Harden deal.

0

223.283 - 231.094 Boomer Esiason

He goes to Cleveland. Kawhi Leonard was asked yesterday. Harden's gone. Paul George left last year. That group, it didn't go as expected.

0

231.415 - 240.449 Unknown

Players come in and out all the time, man. And, you know, throughout organizations, like I said, it's the NBA. You know, we know why these guys left.

0

240.469 - 270.025 Boomer Esiason

And, you know, I wish them the best of luck. He said he tried to change Harden's mind, but to no avail. He's one of my least favorite professional athletes of all time. James Harden or James Harden? James Harden. Yeah, we know that. We've been listening to it for at least six years. Yeah, I know. You never repeat yourself. Tonight, the Nets are in Orlando. It's on the fan at 7 o'clock.

0

270.586 - 296.285 Boomer Esiason

One college basketball game of note. I mean, yesterday, you basically said the Cavaliers are done now. Yeah. Because who's going to want to get the playoffs over with? Yeah. Go right to Vegas. That's what happens. Oklahoma State beat BYU 99-92. Notable because BYU is in the top 20. Oklahoma State's not ranked. But there were chants in this game. Bleep the Mormons. Oh, God. Here we go.

296.305 - 298.809 Boomer Esiason

So here is Kevin Young, the BYU head coach.

299.27 - 316.434 Unknown

There was some F the Mormons chants tonight by the student section that I heard. And, you know, it's a great win for Oklahoma State University. Their fans should be proud. But it would be great if... Some class was warranted in there as well.

316.454 - 338.533 Boomer Esiason

Some class was sprinkled in. That is long gone in sports. That is long gone. Good win for Oklahoma State for sure, but that was certainly... I guess that's happened before, he was saying. It happened at Arizona, that chant. He went on, he said, he's a Mormon, but most of his team are not. The coach is a Mormon? That's what he said, yeah. And he was listening to that in his own building?

338.854 - 341.097 Boomer Esiason

No, no, no. He was saying it.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of recent NBA trades discussed?

471.08 - 472.663 Unknown

There's a lot of those C-Mac names.

0

472.783 - 478.353 Boomer Esiason

C-Mac might even be in this part, I think. Oh, okay, that's good. This is where Craig decides now we're going to go into attack mode.

0

479.415 - 495.758 Unknown

Look, it was a passive-aggressive attack on me because he blames me for not getting a job here five years ago that didn't exist. Look, if that's the case, I thought I got along great with CeeLo. I like him personally a great deal. And I've met his wife and his kids and have them at softball games all the time.

0

495.778 - 511.617 Unknown

But if he is holding some type of resentment against me for something I had nothing to do with, he has my phone number. He can call me. But it sounds like an unnecessary, passive-aggressive attack on something that happened or allegedly happened five years ago.

0

511.597 - 513.779 Boomer Esiason

Okay, and then his next one is your move.

514.039 - 534.658 Unknown

I like Chris a lot. I think he's good at what he does. And he has limited opportunities to be on the air here. So while you spend the limited opportunities you have attacking the most successful host in the history of this radio station, who's still on the radio station for four plus hours a day every day, just doesn't seem smart, but have at it.

534.678 - 555.395 Boomer Esiason

The amazing thing about being the most successful person on this radio station is that you do have influence on the people that work with you. I know that firsthand. That is true. Absolutely. So there's more there because this went on and on and on. I just grabbed as much as I could before I came in. But yeah, so there's more attacking and there's more defense, which is very interesting.

555.535 - 578.242 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, I had no idea. So CeeLo said something in the break where he goes, I was thinking about playing this thing with Craig making a mistake. And he goes, what do you think? And I said, I'm not the one who's going to have to deal with the backlash. So you make the decision whether or not you want to do it or not. Now, I didn't think it was going to be as involved as it was. Right.

578.263 - 589.748 Boomer Esiason

Because he, I mean, the caller said 10, 15 minutes. It felt like 10, 15 minutes. We're going to look at each other like, oh, God. Here we go. It all started because of.

Chapter 6: What was the reaction to the BYU game and its fan behavior?

680.416 - 682.258 Boomer Esiason

Everybody's going after each other. This is too much.

0

683.039 - 683.319 Gio

Come on now.

0

683.339 - 695.996 Boomer Esiason

It's so cold outside. They're having a bad season. I can't run away from that. So is Maryland. They are. Yes. They are. And we have two with Maryland coming up. I think both on weekends, too. You want to go? No. I didn't think so. I'll tell Marco because he always asks for you.

0
0

696.236 - 717.188 Boomer Esiason

I know. Yes. What else here? I have this thing. So I want to be very clear about this next piece I'm going to play. Karen Carson is not the problem here at all. At all. Big fan of yours. So you guys are going to be on at 740? Yes. As this is 1027 yesterday as part of Super Bowl coverage. Listen to this one.

717.32 - 719.326 Unknown

Boomer Esiason. You got Boomer?

719.446 - 742.008 Boomer Esiason

I got Boomer and Gio. Oh, God. Okay, we're throwing Gio. I love Gio. Gio, who's that? Manja Man? No, it's Johnny Minjone. What is that? So this is another one of those. I bust his balls, he busts mine type of thing. I always say he's the third voice on the show. I'm surprised you're still there and those things. So that's just him getting back at you. It's just him getting back at me.

742.028 - 765.085 Boomer Esiason

My wife is very insulted for you. No, no, no. She came home and she said, I put 1027 on for a few minutes today and they took a shot at Gio. You got to play this. No, here's the real shot, is that they invited Tiki up. And they're very excited. Well, I understand that. They invited Boomer and me. They did not invite Evan or Sean. That's the real insult. But they brought me into the mix.

765.105 - 781.366 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, by the way, they didn't invite Craig either, so maybe he's going to be upset. That's very possible. I think they were looking for CeeLo. I don't know about that one either. I know it. I think it was the end of the show. You got the Frank Reich news yesterday with the Jets. The Cardinals hiring Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator. I know.

Chapter 7: What controversies are brewing between Carton and C-Lo?

806.355 - 825.66 Boomer Esiason

And I was telling some Ranger fans this yesterday, the way I look at this is he took less money, he came here, he played for six and a half years, he was the greatest free agent signing in terms of point production the Rangers have ever had, lived up to every one of his expectations, maybe not so much in the playoffs, but

0

825.64 - 845.022 Boomer Esiason

was really truly on the ice, a great New York Ranger hockey player, and he wanted to go to L.A., and that was the only place they could trade him. That's the only place he would go, and they gave him a two-year extension. So, I mean, it doesn't look great on paper, but it is what it is, and he gave us a lot to cheer about for six years at least.

0

Chapter 8: How did C-Lo respond to Carton's comments?

845.623 - 872.746 Boomer Esiason

So I'll take it. If every free agent were as productive as he was, When he got here, I would take that in a heartbeat. Lastly, the Tigers signed Frambois Valdez three years, $115 million. Imagine being Nathaniel Hackett and hearing a former NFL MVP guffaw when the news is announced that he got hired as an offensive coordinator. And Nathaniel Hackett, the Cardinals offensive coordinator.

0

872.766 - 873.147

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

0

874.274 - 884.318 Boomer Esiason

It's amazing. And guess who hired him? The guy that hired him is the guy he replaced. Yeah, I know. I know. How about that? How about that? Yeah.
