Again one of these things where yes Jim it was fixed that their sponsors and that's 'cause it's fixed duke. Salina I was looking for there. -- you have to ask the question and and the initial response that I saw from the shoot out starts now Twitter starts talking about EQ with the homeless and it would. Go home I hear mango I'm OK that was just. Your role be in real sensitive with a guide David Stern who. When you allow to be will play or rattled whether it would impact record Dennis and Callahan he's done these interviews where. He will go back and forth and and bite back and forth he likes that Bill Simmons podcast goes back and forth on all sorts of stuff. Why is -- get insensitive there. Later on in what you didn't hear a lot of that when he says you major career. On. You know cheap shots yeah that's what David Stern called that. I know. Why why we were.

Achieve two when I was not -- against the wall. In -- trying to be suspect was possible and just saying that. People wonder about that in our last question by people that I don't want you I must say he commissioner people would say because I'm -- -- direct question. But people do wonder. But that was not cheap thrill the world I gotta throw a lot of that cheap trip. No flopping easy Cheap Trick. Though. But -- you've been successful making it were irrelevant and I keep coming. Aren't making a clearer and what they'll commission said that fact I take great offense and making secret of life what -- -- drill is -- taking a predator I am now now I am if you -- made a career of making cheap thrill. You know they're taking on the world and now -- world disparity. I loved it. I'm not touting a -- that's this -- three -- taking offense or defense that let you took offense to the question what do fights that we already asked the question. -- defense system will hang up to me like one I can't hang up on you because I'm running time -- hang up on UK. But I gotta go local somebody important like even an older equipment. All right you lament that call and I'll go talk to somebody else do I guess myself very right to have a nice day. Have a nice day -- was with a guy that drilled. Chris -- Jim ever called Chris ever over and over and over again okay. Then -- get sensitive because the commissioner after UN estimate. A ridiculous question because you couldn't can't ask of you lied to the commissioner and so I'm not gonna say people -- wanna be direct but people say. He gives -- crap for and you you turtle like that. That's not how -- take away as eligible go after David Stern this stern do you general never beat his wife there's no you that nothing about that. Ultimately the people that you get some people might think that the Jim Rome has been his wife in the past and it's their take a little flu jab that but that's just the an interview little trek you know when you feel like you're forced to a quarter -- you can't there's no way to properly answer the question. It that's been said many times to different people you know. -- we received on beat your wife -- of stopping to moisture will be your wife for your studies stop beating your wife is no way to answer. There's if you say yes and you admitting that you did at one point so it's -- go back and according it was sort of jab at Jim Rome as far as I'm not that you ever has. At an -- domestic dispute with his wife but just a way for him. Two to get his point across your best an unfair question one and I cannot answer a masculine unfair one I don't you you don't wanna have to answer but I'm a fire packaging. -- -- -- -- And that he there's no there's no report that right and I'm sure the commissioner felt like is the NBA lottery -- -- spoke to say is the NBA lottery fix. It's I think it's a fine question for roamed asked did you at any -- the question -- -- prom with a question I don't know -- with an event tickets rather comical. I think it's just two guys kind of -- this agreement radio good for them. Good stuff. Good stuff I don't wanna -- careless but it wanted to I just wish roll one take it so -- in the commissioner said. You know also like some guys here delicate stuff critic of disaster and it back yourself up. Say this that he's that took offense and -- two years thinking that I do and -- said that the -- efforts stuff combat Sierra. -- good to have you on the shelf you know what you know -- -- call me that for about the last five years. That's -- actually put us well. A you know -- -- a similar thing in that game how it -- I have that we came back one. I'm sexy game it's it was into the back in 1989 as you Evian being Jim -- that the -- the silver along the way Jim you cease being junior became crystalline material secret. That you know we're sitting here right now and if you got what they -- station break you can but if you call me. Actress -- to my face one more time out against guys you better -- -- -- -- -- better that -- -- -- well it's a five minute segment five segments showing a long way to go we do we got a long way to go we -- I'll get a couple segments that I want to be here would you go well it's gonna -- been talking like this behind my back for a while but now it's -- right here right before we -- no problems then I think that you you probably won't see again a better idea good. Chris. -- I bought a little bit Chris. A lot of people and I thought that a lot of it. No flopping easy Cheap Trick. I think a lot of people felt that that was stage I don't -- it was was Jim Everett is in very good actor. But he does he does he's one of those guys -- guys. That kind of poke the bear and -- get off on those sort of things that Jim Rome white -- so sensitive. Visits or calls it the way it is wired and saying that's not fair use was it fair we did that Everett in that spot now. Now -- -- has not been all made out of that but we still sensitive U. Made a career out of pushing that line he's been a career out of stepping over whatever that line is in some cases and being very sarcastic gonna show. So her for him to take offense to out which are shocked by that I was my big feeling. Was oh my god David Stern would beating your wife you do the research -- beat -- problems like a -- on the resume not been arrested. Will tactic there by David Stern and stern likes doing this in the back and forth. I -- wrong -- along there at the end tactical to whatever. He took it's a seriously and I was surprised by that. I didn't enjoy the back and forth and looked at Davis -- Matsui is. Entrees on the cape had a quick follow bottom mentoring team we're talking about what's up -- I'm not too much let this one to correct the record unfortunately it built. Even let it become prisoners up the moment. Of -- will be drinking documentary that just went on in his all of this should it be Friday that what country and ethnic -- include. John Stockton like a great -- at a time and it's not even close between him and I did it on a. What particular couple quick. And read and it -- and -- declare a long time equal to quit a long time. And we're a little joint I realized that I didn't close at highly different deal and then. Even Klan people want to penalize our stock market longevity but I want. I think -- Whitney -- out of him knowing it played here. OK with it in with incredibly. Efficient and productive for seventeen years -- remember in the league. I'll start at the shot on fourteen and it will mean when he took the way to settle into the camera along the I want to let Perkins director and the support that's -- -- Elliot -- seeking to -- -- knowledge years. Okay it ought to be prepared a number and by the way are -- comic and we'll talk about how gradient. Final MVP in 1998. Portrait way to do it which would do what. There's a little forced act and to do what he had been the microwave your head.

If you'd allow him looking up by nick put justice system that position John Stockton Isiah Thomas anger in the air right now John from the -- the point was from the documentary it was pretty clear. That at that point he was considered a very very good point guard the MBA and of all the players -- more on the dream team -- around the MBA. Who's the one guy -- surprised it was on that team Isiah Thomas Andre. Any we talked about it because it was pretty clear from the documentary if you bother to watch it. That the bulls' rose about the two bulls guys Jordan a particular -- part of that mix needs that he's not going to be there and I talked an argument from. Joseph does that -- nobody recognized him on the street I take offense off the bus -- federal a meeting to figure out there about the show we need to -- opener here. I thought we blow up people who just have zero point. And are just rambling back I have to ask Joseph what is it like a and a point. I don't know if we take a break we don't have a lot of time literally Jim -- in Davis third week we take it out of his hands thanks I like that passion of a guy who. In this the Boston area.

NESN's Barry Pederson on the Bruins dominance

Cleveland Indians hottest team in baseball, yet remain last in attendance May 19, 2013 By AJ Kaufman 6 Comments There’s a scene in Major League where Bob Uecker, portraying the radio voice of the Indians, bemoans, “In case you haven’t noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven’t, the Indians have managed to win a few here and there, and are threatening to climb out of the cellar.” Well, that was nearly 25 years ago and fictional, but today’s reality is that Cleveland has won 17 of its last 21, and currently tops the AL Central with a mark of 25-17. No one in the majors is better than the Indians in the past month (20-7). That’s great news. The bad news, however, is the Tribe somehow remain in the MLB cellar when it comes to attendance. How can this be? The fact that I wrote on this same topic almost to the day last year – when only Tampa Bay drew fewer fans than Cleveland - may be even more troubling. Though roughly 34,000 watched a walk-off win Friday night against Seattle, perfect weather and free caps weren’t enough to draw more than 36,000 Saturday and Sunday combined. What did the Indians do in those tilts? They nabbed another walk-off win on Saturday, then the Indians crushed the great Felix Hernandez Sunday behind Justin Masterson, arguably the AL’s best pitcher right now. Fun fact: The Indians have already faced eight Cy Young Award winners in 2013: Bartolo Colon, R.A. Dickey, Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Jake Peavy, David Price, Justin Verlander and Hernandez. They have won seven out those eight matchups. Simply astounding. This offseason, the much-maligned Indians front office finally made a legitimate attempt to improve the team through free agency. I’m not talking an Ubaldo Jimenez-like trade, but rather smart acquisitions that brought veterans Mike Aviles, Michael Bourn, Jason Giambi, Scott Kazmir, Brett Myers, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Nick Swisher to Cleveland. In addition to being a fantastic place to watch a game due to great egress and ingress, with extremely affordable tickets, the best promo lineup anywhere, Jacobs Field boasts overall, cooler, less muggy summer weather than most Midwestern locales. The team also lowered beer and hot dog prices to $4 and $3 respectively. What other professional stadium in any sport offers that? I have visited 28 of the 30 current Major League Baseball stadia, and few top The Jake when all angles are considered. I say that as a baseball fan, not an Indians fan. As for the putative “economic” angle, these are the same people who spend insane amounts of money to watch terrible football every fall and show up in decent numbers for putrid basketball in the winter. Irrespective of season length, those sports charge up to 10 times the price for a ticket, and the atmosphere isn’t half as fan-friendly as baseball. I understand fans’ lack of willingness to get on board to some degree. A decent recap of Cleveland’s decade of “rebuilding” can be read here and the team suffered a horrific collapse last August. However, in addition to all the benefits of attending games at Jacobs (now Progressive) Field, fans should also realize the team has potential and often exceeds preseason aspirations at any point without warning. Cleveland hosts the rival Detroit Tigers — heavy favorites to repeat as AL Central champs — Tuesday and Wednesday nights before hitting the road. The temperature should be pleasant at first pitch each evening so you’d expect The Jake to be full to watch the best hitter on the planet right now — but don’t count on it.
