What updates does Tony provide about the Belmont Stakes?
Hey, it's Tony. On today's show, we will talk to Marv Albert about the Knicks and his long history of calling games there, and we'll talk with Tim Legler to preview Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Good show, but first, commerce.
Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show. Ruland was so insulted that I would mention these guys that he wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the year. And as the beat reporter, your inability to talk to the best player on the team did not make me look good in the eyes of the great George Sullivan, I'll tell you that.
Ruland texts me all the time now. No. Yes, Ruland is writing a book. He wants me to write the introduction.
What insights does Tony share about the Nationals' recent performance?
I said, Jeff, I can't write anymore. He texts me all the time.
I'm really not so bad.
His most recent, well, he's going to want it excerpted in The New Yorker.
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. I believe they talked.
Oh, they did. I believe Jeff Ruhland called David Remnick. I don't have firsthand information on this. Just called the New Yorker?
What are the highlights from the Maryland Amateur Tournament?
No, he called me for David's number. He texted me, and I said to David, is this okay? And he said, sure. So it's possible that they've talked. A couple of questions about my subscription.
Digital only?
Isn't that wonderful?
Isn't that wonderful? It's just great.
You know?
How does Marv Albert reflect on his career and the NBA Finals?
Here's David Remnick, winner of a Pulitzer Prize, editor of The New Yorker, used to cover basketball, and Ruland shut him out for a whole season. And Ruland says, that's wrong of me. That's my bad. I'll talk to him. I'm sorry. That's great. All right. So we had planned today, we had planned in the open of the show to put Andy Byer in to pick the Belmont, because Andy picks... On this show, year after year after year, he picks the Derby, he picks the Preakness, he picks the Belmont. We couldn't get in touch with Andy.
What are Tim Legler's predictions for the Knicks in Game 2?
I mean, we were texting Andy. Nigel and I tried to get him. We didn't actually have any particular success. And then I got a message this morning. Um, because we can't do the triple crown without Andy. We always do the triple crown. We always have Andy. Now we're, we're very fortunate that Ron Flatter, you know, is with us now and does the triple crown as well as Andy. But even Ron would say, Andy is the big gun. It's the buyer speed figures.
How does Tony handle spam calls and their impact on his daily life?
Yeah. This is Andy buyer. And, and it, I just got a note that said, sorry, I'm in London. So I wrote him back and I said, good, enjoy. Enjoy, yes. Enjoy, you know. Not going to bother you. Go.
Yeah.
So we don't have Andy picking the Belmont.
What are the main points discussed in the mailbag segment?
That's one thing we don't have. We also don't have a lot about the Nats. Nats didn't play yesterday. Nats were swept by the Marlins. Yeah, my advice to the Nats is just very simple. Get rid of Tanya. Get rid of him. He cannot, in a runner and scoring position, in a lefty-righty matchup with two outs, he doesn't deliver. He doesn't deliver. One out, two outs.
What music is featured in this episode and who are the artists?
He doesn't deliver. That's, you know, my anger is fixated on him, not the bullpen, although I should be angry at the bullpen. The bullpen lost all three games. Bullpen or starters, depending on the day. Yeah, yeah.
Or the openers. Yeah, whatever. Pitching loss. A product of scheduling. You look at where the Marlins were as they got swept before playing the Nats.
So it's okay. I mean, and they always, the Marlins always beat the Nats. So I'm, you know, I'm getting rid of that.
I don't have anything to do with that. Did you make the mistake of trying to go to the channel 1261 for you? When, last night?
Yeah. To see the music?
No, I knew that they weren't playing.
Okay, I did that. By the way, I will tell you this, though. As I went by a bunch of channels, I landed on the channel, I believe it's 861, that is Red Zone, and there was a sign saying, this company is no longer contractually with Xfinity. Oh, nice. Let me just say this out loud. That's the folklore press. Let me say this out loud. If I can't get... Red zone, I'm out of cable. Yeah, what's the point? No, I'm done. I mean, there's two things I want. I want the Nats and I want the red zone. If I can't get red zone, I'm done.
And do you remember what happened with the Nats? Magically a day before opening?
