What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, it's Tony.
What insights does Michael Wilbon provide about the NBA Finals?
On today's show, things will be a little out of order as we talk to Wilbon in the open because the only window he had in his marathon TV schedule this morning. Then we'll do the show open in our second segment. We'll talk to Eddie Olchik about the Belmont and also about the Stanley Cup finals. But first, commerce.
Previously on The Tony Kornheiser Show.
If the Knicks were to win, would that be like the greatest achievement? Or if the Jets won, would it be a greater achievement? The Yankees win all the time. And how do you rank the teams in terms of what people want from them?
How did Tony perform at his home golf course after the Maryland Amateur Tournament?
I think the Jets would be in that category also. I mean, you're looking back to the days of Joe Namath. They have one highlight.
They have Joe Namath wagging his finger. That's their only highlight.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now.
You recognize my voice in that because you listen to this show. It's the other guy who's got the voice. It's the other guy. It's Marv Albert.
What are Tony's thoughts on missing the Beach Boys concert?
Marv Albert has, if you grew up in New York, the most recognizable voice of all time. Of all time, more than any other announcer, it's Marv Albert. Got this note from Mark Spoor in Canton, Georgia, who is the official bowling coach of this show. Thank you so much for the Marv Albert interview on Friday's show. Much like you, Marv was the soundtrack of my childhood and a big part of what made me a sports fan and later a sports writer and editor. Growing up in upstate New York in the 70s and 80s, seemingly every sports memory I have has either Marv, Phil Rizzuto, or Ralph Kiner as a soundtrack. What a time to be alive.
Oh, wow.
Thanks also for being seemingly the only national sports personality in this era, except maybe Wilbon, that appreciates history and context. It is much appreciated.
What did Eddie Olczyk share about the Belmont Stakes and Stanley Cup Finals?
And your note is much appreciated. We have an odd show today. Let me just say from the top, Wilbon, who is always with us on Monday, never fails. Never fails. Unless he has a doctor's appointment.
Right.
Well, he's on ESPN constantly. He's on the... Seven o'clock sports center. He's on the eight o'clock sports center.
How do Tony and Eddie discuss the impact of Comcast on sports viewing?
Well, it's the eight o'clock get up. He's on the 10 o'clock first take show. He's just on. He's on all the time. I hope they let him out by 530. I hope so. So he can do the show. He gets paid to do it.
Got a note to release me. Yeah.
What are the highlights of the Memorial Golf Tournament?
Yeah. So, I mean, so he, he offered to do this for five or six minutes. It's pointless. It's pointless. Let him do what he does in New York. And we will carry on without him and simply make fun of him as the show goes on. I just love that he had to stop off in Chicago. Of course he did. To New York.
Of course he did.
What questions does Tony address from the Mailbag?
To check in. Yeah. This might be him.
This is actually going to be him. All right. So we'll just put him on right now if he wants to get on. You know, because I think he's got like four minutes to accurately... Mark this for people. On the clock that I have in the studio, it is 8.54 now. And Wilbon has to be— Or 7.54. 7.54. And Wilbon has to be on the opening shot of Get Up. Yeah. I mean, if Wilbon is there, he has to be in the shot. So you have like three minutes. Go. Three minutes.
What?
You know, well, are you feeling good?
You look fine today. No, I landed in Newark at 1 a.m. Really? Got to bed at 2.30. It was up at 6.30 to do SportsCenter. So, no, I'm not. You know me. You know me longer than anybody up here. Yep. And, you know, you know morning is not my friend.
No, I know.
And so I do it only in the playoffs. So that's like April 10th. through whenever this series ends, and I go back to trying to sleep until 10 a.m. every morning.
I'm not even going to ask you about the basketball, because you're going to talk all day and all night about the basketball. You didn't watch the Belmont, right? You forgot it was on?
Didn't know it was on. Didn't know it was on. Did you watch the Memorial? No. I watched some of the Memorial yesterday before I got on a plane in Chicago. And, you know, I wasn't – it was fine. I mean, Poston, I didn't realize he had won. That's like his fourth or fifth World Series. Yes. Great, great. I told you three weeks ago, the next golf – it's always good to see Jack and Barbara Nicholas.
