Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we'll talk to Chris Clary about a huge upset at the French Open, and we'll chat with Paul Feinbaum about what's been going on in the SEC this week, and college football in general. But first, commerce.
Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show. And then 2010, I got a concussion about 14 months before that tournament. I would have gone to that World Cup. But did you go in 2002? No, because I was young. I was so young. So you've never been in the World Cup? No. No, I've been an alternate many a times, which is fun.
Well, you're too old now, or I would lead a campaign to get you on this team.
Yeah, no, it's great. Tony, let's talk about my dog dying two years ago. Oh, God. The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
From Steve Gilmore in San Angelo, Texas, dear Dr. Potato Man, when you're trying to crush Taylor Twellman's soul by reminding him of all his misfortunes, at least remember to remind him he missed out on his opportunity to play at Augusta National. Remember that when he talks about that? He's fabulous. Oh, he's terrific. Just fabulous. All right.
We have to play golf with him next month. I'd love to do that. If he's traveling through the East Coast to go up to Philly. Yeah, because there's no games here.
So we'll try and play with him.
You're like the only big city that didn't get the matches, right?
It's not like it's a big summer. Unbelievable. Um, so you're probably expecting me to talk about the basketball and have guests about the basketball. I'm not Wilbon. The basketball was not unwatchable after the third quarter because it's not close. Look, um, I expected San Antonio to win. I'm happy it's going seven. I'm happy it's going seven, but the games aren't good. It's a bad product, right? Well, I shouldn't say it's a bad product. They're great, great athletes, right? They make shots that are impossible to believe. They make these shots. They make them routinely all the time. The angles that you have to take now because of one particular defender. Because a guy's 7'5". It's unbelievable. But it's not an exciting game.
The Knicks games, when they win by 60, are not exciting games. That's what I mean by bad product. The games aren't close. Most of the games, a large majority of the games in the playoffs this year, have not been close. They're just not close. They're one-sided. Wilbon, you know, says it's irresistible. It's not. It's resistible. It's resistible. You know, we're not going to talk about it today more than this because we have different guests. We have Chris Clary, who's one of the great tennis writers of all time ever. And he's in Paris and he's going to talk about Yannick Sinner being boiled on the court.
What happened to Jannik Sinner at the French Open?
Wow. Being boiled and is out. And we're going to have Paul Feinbaum talk about this craziness in college football where the Big Ten and the SEC are now... you know, trying to hit each other in the face and figure stuff out. So we're staying away from the basketball. We've done so much. I mean, I'm going to have to do it on PTI, obviously. It's every day it's the lead story. But that was a lousy game in terms of a game.
Do you think the fact that there's going to be a Game 7 makes up for the fact that you've sort of weakened the story of the Knicks just because it's going to be a full week before you see them again?
I think game sevens are better than anything else. So if you have an opportunity for a game seven, that gets you to sit in front of the set. Yeah. Doesn't mean you'll sit there for 48 minutes. But you'll watch. But yes. Yeah. So no, I think the game seven is a big deal. And I think it'll be ginned up for the Knicks. Things aren't going to start until June 3rd. So that's next Wednesday, isn't it? Yeah, it's Wednesday. It's not going to start until then. The Knicks are going to be off. I don't know. They could actually go to Paris and watch the French Open if they wanted to. They absolutely could. You know, they're off for so long. A couple of small things. I called Dave Spector last night from Bell's Up. Oh, that's... Because he had sent me a case of wine and I felt that was so nice that I would buy a case of wine.
