Then you know Monica Lewinsky the young -- what -- that woman now. That that woman miss Lewinsky the way he said it was such disdain. And such it was arrogant how could you that you think that you -- Would -- such thing and by the issue was like okay it's on now and by the little if you remember Roethlisberger betterment not a true if you remember his approval ratings went up after its path back. As for what it's better to go through and got you know most of the time guys don't deny. This time he fights will we will tell -- did. Yeah audience anyway that will be you got trouble after that went missing emails here for an enemy fire them. That's one from Nate and Nate is out this is a radical email Nate says unfortunately I'm extremely embarrassed to say that I attended both. The game against the Mets and last night something that was ugly. -- have to pay money to see I can imagine either one of seven it's well the first quarter. Don't ask this is a problem which sports is that they're just threw me game -- and that included these players can't. Let's get it you don't object and I don't what domain -- that that's the spirit of is there -- Christian ablaze. -- as shocking as it might be says -- Actually played worse last night and -- that's brutal I think change means that blow up this yeah. And then. Instead I hope KG retires all the bodies freed up hope here's opt out and start for -- money. I hope they find a way to somehow get rid of Rashid Wallace. If those changes can't be made and I think doc needs that go public of these players -- not pay attention to him anymore. So that is what -- Proposed. And you see the glass half police are idealistic and shopping lakers lost three of four road. And I really Toronto I mean Andy have a shot made by Colby was the last few seconds to beat. Lousy raptors in -- to playing policies it's just that time year where eight you know. But the thoughts of a -- like this sure where where a couple of -- and the lakers actually you know. The lakers have been playing good basketball they've had a rut or to -- play good bass promotes year keeper mine. The lakers excused the lakers playing like the Celtics more than the Celtics felt you know why you're still our -- 23 yeah. The lakers are what 4718. -- difference. Tougher conference they want championship last year. You expect. Some type of flaw that type of distraction from a team that won the championship you know they their bellies are full so what you're saying is that is that these Celtics. How kind of Malays without portfolio. But I don't -- late -- advocates boredom. What is that it. I think it might be their time advocate. America is I've created a cliche it's a district is at the cliche that I keep hearing from. You know that the coach -- stopped listening -- got character Bruno to hear about this guy's -- don't know what this is not about motivation. This is not about imposing their will publish it totaled just really team that.

We're not sure they brought in lawless and he's poison the team now you know I don't -- your ability that was -- the -- integrating howitzers and -- As upset them because he was a popular -- right down the list. Right I'm a list of possible reasons and excuses I've heard Tommy hunt to talk about I've heard Donny Marshall -- hurting the -- And I I I hear a lot of stuff loaded up -- I don't really have a rational explanation need to do to make sure you probably need a desktop workers.

Sure you do I'm gonna give his explanation what is their regular that you mentioned just a second. That's not -- public to look at -- just looking forward to the playoffs. I'm would you -- the explanation. So they're hurt you know -- out there -- there -- no explanation is gonna calm. Right after the we hear this. Oh John John is asking. Speaking of violence in hockey. This somehow connects to your self this question trust. Speaking of violence in hockey could you give us your thoughts -- the whalers fighting saints brawl you broadcast back in 1975. Are calling that game -- hockey classic. And.

Just try to run the applied to know.

I've never seen quite like this and what is.

Now there's a thing dollars and twenty years old when -- got under there if I was less than twenty the other guy. You know beaten -- the voice on that clipped the color me -- was a gentleman by the name of bill Rasmussen. Game probably doesn't ring a bell doesn't that you know bill Rasmussen claim to fame is. He founded. And LT -- might have heard of called.

Yes. Yes. Oh c'mon. -- a Q and field hockey game on satellite back in the day. And that was the origin of what is now known. As ES and an and the untold story he said -- didn't get to your own did yesterday.

Yet you in 1975 I knew me. I got an idea. If it does give me a hundred dollars to 200 dollars Google went with me we can be partners for the thing he had gotten mine and you said no thanks. And you you turn down your opportunity and I truly hope my. Opera ESPN and I'm sitting here that are like really smart if he was Grossman I think you lot of selling it to get yours it was something like million dollars. Which if you hold on -- probably -- record 200 billion don't exactly but he founded. ESP now somehow this connects to this problem. How were you when you did that. I was minus 34. Okay so I was 34 years ago duke duke things 34 years ago that you can't do today right. Well. -- it to life for -- you you're you're stronger you -- faster sure quicker yes 34 years ago. The problem but the Celtics know it very simple there. -- players are ball but they can't do -- like -- is being. Possible contender for the NBA championship because. I haven't you all year touted as a team. That has no chance. You did the playoffs or no -- and I don't know items that aren't you hold up this big market. Big time television for days at 8 o'clock journalism what I have we'd love to have on as a panelist on the All-Star panel console so yeah now host the show that a viability or do you believe here for your team Hillary you don't care. Supernova so you're you're actually in independent I guess I don't you don't -- Yeah you've got there. Go off gesture talk. Negatively. About the team you're the host of the show we hope it happened this business you'll be hosting next week -- has -- dubious. -- hope the next project I would love him personally and -- looked -- a lot of crosstalk we're gonna open my -- and measurements and here's a problem. -- have a chance this bloody sock hops to -- a chance at a Grambling nobody and I playoffs -- of course off the first of all I don't particularly about the Chicago Bulls. Toronto Raptors. Right and this other slug playoff team my -- any heat Miami is down there are there I mean. Milwaukee this would mop up those teams in four straight home. About it a -- about it or not those guy which -- to Chris Wallace yesterday asked -- the package gives you would give I would entertainment Eastern Conference. Milwaukee in the mix comes Milwaukee's Milwaukee is playing well organized and -- like I like so they're five decent teams in the east at the other anti and then number 500 is not a again and you shall be decisive well. The Celtics you know it's not the hawks in the law school. -- bright they really need should have managed to carry out any shot of getting it to the third round in like the second slot. Don't look at careless about it he de dock where they're going whatever ride it out okay look at it and say you know. Better meet Chicago. Or Toronto or might be heat or whoever the three teams are better -- one of the top three slots -- the one. And done would not want it done now because the -- impetus of the force and let's sit apparently. Haven't yet. Accurate and let's -- it's Milwaukee. And Milwaukee and each of the BB port and the Celtics --

yet -- yet I get -- yet to be -- where they're. Milwaukee while the Celtics number and the Celtics are not plain old. The reason why they are. But that's the reason. For a game like last night. Where you know -- young team to sit at home waiting for that got young legs you play it last night Milwaukee came down to the last second and have an opportunity to put the old men on the bench. For the final seven or eight minutes and just sit there and laughing out. Come back here. And these young boys just to run you off the floor it's like go want to apart you see a bunch of old men come and try to backdoor you they try to pick and roll you but you know what. Eventually. -- John legs will prevail. If they know how to play the game a little bit may have snapped criticism they're going to be -- meant the Celtics made a lot of rest her Doc Rivers talking about this this morning and he has the dilemma. He's trying to figure out of the need to play KG and played ball and play -- and get them to a rhythm for the playoffs. Or -- or do they need rest. I'm -- document listened to me I'm -- epidemic -- his decisions you are. --

We're pianist were put it on a magic Christian -- yeah I've seen. Rajon Rondo is playing at about eighty miles an hour right and the rest are playing a forty. Exactly without him you wouldn't wanna watch that this guy is incredibly the only got to watch and his team right now he is. Too graphic. He is worth my time to see what conduct stop he's gonna pull her. Keep me for two hours part of that screen. Because he's demand right now I'd give credit to even big baby is he's got it working has bought -- looks like he cares about what he's doing the noses. A little bit questionable to me. And it's it's -- Perkins worked pretty hard for what he does. But -- again. We're gonna like prepare and what I've -- network from its current three Zahn. Pretty good -- The -- that aren't interested in on gambling. I clear my throat. And it write about what you know about gambling since for a lot despondent entertainment.

Indeed it raises money this it certainly wants to hit me Tony -- don't don't. If you had placed a bet.

Against the Celtics. In every single regular season game this year despite the fact they're number one in their degree. Despite the fact there are many games over 500. In terms of the -- bedding percentage against the spread for this year. They were ranked twenty. Out of thirty in the eight teams in terms of winning bedding percentage against the super. Oh lead in New Jersey Nets would have a worse record up look at that -- what does that really mean. I don't know what it means I know is that either one of two things. Because that alone is based on public perception.

I've lined up pretty eager because. 80% of the teams are somewhere in the 45 to 55% range I mean it's really tight brokered. This team is way below that meaning. Either you are way over rated. Or being that the public perception of them is so skewed. That they shouldn't be batting. 38%. Or other and we just to spread their fortunate that tiger -- team in the league against the betting spread. They had a great fall. That's been not not a fall collapse but a great fall autumn. So to speak if you know what that's gonna hit it if you had to -- And ever my seventh I -- start what does that attend and 23 and five I'm not talking about. There weren't taught us that it I don't -- to run -- about. Professional. Legal lying in Las Vegas that -- If you bet against the every single night you had -- one. 62%. Of the time and you'd be very rich are you speaking from experience that's when award. Don't happen to them.
