All right number one has to do with Madden this year is going to be the 25 anniversary of the -- game and of course every year we tuchman who's gonna be on the cover. So this year they're having a vote of the best colors of the past 25 years and -- today. Did you hear that that's -- 93 the best game ever. Who do you think in the past 25 years.

The standard by which so many quarterbacks measured themselves. And one with different players different places. Only Danica any race this particular -- -- you can also put on the cover if you really wanted to. Present -- -- one -- as a tough -- you know somebody give players but. This is one thing I do like about -- You have receivers on there you have a good receiver. Biggest totally over rate the receiver. They give an incredible speed incredible hands they don't make a lot of mistakes I remember playing with a Randy Moss. This is right early 20022003. Innings unstoppable. What you played them like -- -- on a -- okay but are they real and it. Don't know and I don't emits -- your plain -- with Randy must I'm like why don't you don't -- to -- -- -- -- that this when I played that before the game -- regards. The game passed -- dismissed as too many things to keep up with. To me dead. So I shouldn't I mean I've never played man never thought about you never played it.

Although tell -- you're one of those pair at all and are now but I -- the -- had the -- I mean the what's the end. NBA two K -- -- I think as those. But like the Xbox was thinking about that house to -- played at his friend's house is but I didn't Allison spent on the money. And you know never asked for the time limits to you sir Edmund well he never had it's I never had to do that. -- go to this friend's house and I'm -- plated and his friend's house I was I'm like.

A hundred things where I get on I disagree with how our ports in order make sure you all packed. You're playing bad before you go to Barcelona was guessing who's been cover I think Barry Sanders Kerry Sanders we got -- Don't -- as well. -- guys Barry Sanders great running back and all that but can you put someone on the cover of Madden who quit five years before. His career should have been no. One I mean he's the most that he is the one player that most. Embodies a video game when you watch him play -- Kansas or Texas got to agree when Michael Vick remember Michael Vick era was Monica Michael Vick was insane. On on Madden and that he might. I was number two -- I know it over to his friends would ask. I've what are -- bills general manager buddy nix in Tampa Bay Bucs general manager mark Dominick had a conversation on the phone that was being reported by 220 year old pranksters. -- Don't ignore all part of -- about drug available part of right now.

Dad gums forever and call -- -- and have picked up a phone and give the number embarked on -- trip but he does that mean you know have a number. He called the can't we can't call them. He realized he was calling that he thought he was calling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he was calling these two year old kids -- so -- As I've said before. You're competing against this guy imitated CG -- limit so Mark Dominik. He gets -- -- how to did you notice. Okay so the twenty year old called buffalo GM right buddy next right. Hung up when he answered rankled them back for two days they didn't answer got that. So they called Tampa Bay and said they were buddy next. But he added god mark Dominick on the phone. And as they did that buddy nix was calling dams on the conference demand. Muted themselves let them talk to each other and recorded the whole thing with another cellphone I gonna -- them some. I don't know the bills issued statements discussing -- yeah that's some legal and what is the question is is this the best prank you've ever heard it has to be. It. Well polished chattering like that -- right it's like Rasmussen. Asked us to act. This has to be having other than Jerky Boys. It's -- Russia and they must beat the C this is Laura I just these two guys must be just. Curious. Humiliated whatever. I work on race cause. Special what. It. Ever printed. On the -- its public entity. Well as well you know Weston's brother by ladies to pretend he was all those major college programs that west kept open was -- -- itself is pretty used to call from the upstairs. And called downstairs public. Probably a cellphone against something and pretend he was like the of you know the coach from the university Texas Mack Brown or something. He -- and therefore. On the best. Act and it's right there I'm series. I'll work circles around -- -- you anywhere ratchet. Yeah we're the sales guys here corporate mean pretended to be -- -- because we are -- really that's what I'm. Did you call or where are all organs and some crazy economic justice secretary you do were the days -- -- -- that's right. Nobody takes private schools and you signal -- ever -- breaking about. You had not on the phone didn't I can think of ever haven't you ever fall for. My my sister I'm really thrown her under the bus that's. She. My parents were gone somewhere my sister ordered some alcohol over the phone from the start it. And had a I don't know how this happened when it it's also absurd now but. She had a taxi -- delivered to -- has. And then he came for the money you know she's in my closet to shell our -- you know gave the money and I believe this happened but it. Really did. And so I was just really nervous about it because I was home and that I didn't like the -- two issues you know on the Middletown I was like that's not anything on in my younger sister miles sister like. They opened every present before Christmas you know academic and an eight Sunni if you tell mom and Deborah and open all your gifts and tell you what you're getting for Christmas you know they all right right. All the -- and the -- And so I was really scared to death we're gonna get in trouble so somebody called. Reference call had a brother -- -- were the Westwood police calling in now to find out. Me not my sisters saying. So we'd like to be calm down so we can discuss the taxicab that stopped off alcohol and and and I was just for my he accused me time to time. And you know you're first to -- -- prices -- just don't make a giver. Yeah pretty good we did pretty good. Prank on Dustin Pedroia last year -- you hear all that's right under Matt do. Andre easier -- pretended that he was some fans ripping Dustin Pedroia. Now he was prophetic he was ahead of time because France actually do it ripped up to Pretoria last year after that you know obviously -- and a nod and a color that you -- -- just reminded me. That. That I was ranked. Along with dale we were ranked by Jared that -- brother to -- we were startled during the interview -- Jared Dudley. And yet ago he gave the phone with somebody out now get a phone to have pretended it was still yet and we can tell that there was a difference. Yes finally got us -- our guy Greg Murphy used Curt Schilling is Curt Schilling loom along Lou really proceed. My brother like Dave called this show here once pretending to be somebody just ripped me up and down -- -- -- -- might be doing it with dale -- and things like indignant that I don't like I got a lot of I think and that's my -- It was very slippery slope no honey. -- working good but no. Was -- I'll let -- Sadly the big east tournament is in its final year remaining the same teams that that made the -- and great for the past thirty years. What is your favorite memory of the big east. Jack you've got to bestseller -- portraits were. Number I'm unlikely for yourself and cover and Syracuse Boston College in the course your response to rocket carried don't estimate. One might you know I'm not a first time carried out by other plane and now pearl Washington is to the Ralph cram in teachers need to you know format merely teacher. So. He hits his half court shots of people -- big east fans will remember it was just an amazing shot and I was at the restaurant at all before I got -- at me you know sometimes the fans stormed the court if you'd just be aware it's like a lot of it's just. You know go under the tables so that was seem like a prank that they are you know -- -- hits as let's and it's got does right it is to have Chris Japanese fans start run and on the yeah. The court and I had to like. Hide under the table I have a little port bubble which was -- those that was before and laptops. And of course the fans came on in my my story got lost to go on line now lost my whole story -- -- on deadline just so we saw this whistles today on YouTube it's it's an amazing shot and we can see -- But we can't see your under the table book as the court Dahlia yeah because I think -- was -- -- fans Russian court but it was that was one. Season. -- -- -- -- -- -- Logan how well it was around electrical bunch of of the big east and in this big east you think about it. The one year had three teams in the final four as my first ever final form -- Yeah Villanova saint John's and Georgetown all the great proves she had Lexington Atlanta either manipulated. Patrick Ewing Chris Mullen Walter Berry the immortal Walter the -- very night. Never choose only Conosoga. At Derrick Coleman you know not mourning the big John top -- Those guys slowly some great ones Ray Allen Allen Iverson magic 96. It. Marshall to get our help on John Marshall about the way I don't know we have this for the wireline but. Taxes go to great numbers smuggling. When -- Buckley frank Maloney. On the phone remember that for the little by little this little was -- but with more with one of them was called up. These -- about during the -- Maloney group later in the all time baseball via old time baseball game. Is actually a player to stand around like you do when he played for the rest which -- -- -- -- -- That's basically put her hand over -- -- rock like and they didn't recognize that are apparently was. The last all right the -- thriving right now winning eighteen games and road they embarked on one of the most impressive streaks in the NBA. In your lifetime what do you think the most impressive streak is or team accomplishment in the union. I gotta say team accomplishment number one would be I know. It was an expansion year Jackie I wouldn't I realized that. Janet he went 72 games in the season he did terrible 720 and then. Just as impressive in the next year. Down the stretch they had a chance to win seventy again I think they're finished 69 at thirteen. I go back to back years every 2110 and 6913. That's pretty damn well you did at the lakers winning streak you know the 3333 but I honestly I want that. -- -- but what really matters its policies and right right so Kobe and Shaq as much as they couldn't stand each other of their fight him pulling each -- hair. Eagle fifteen and one in the post season it was one game are pretty amazing you surprised me because I thought I thought. When Jackie McFarland your ask the questions -- gonna -- the Celtics going forty in one at home which was amazing 86 and a loss to Portland. And it wasn't particularly close in that game actually we you know. Turnovers kill them. Odd turn as a member Larry Bird coming years later I said Dumont conscientious when McCain said not really. They they put much better than us and Bill Walton had five turnovers in eighteen minutes. Struggle not that they drug only bill. So why did you -- that -- I don't know -- I mean. I think fifteen and one of the post season it's me is all the greats texting you know. The lakers days should talk about around here I get that but that team was dominant. Just a unit to the great players that are related finally could put aside all their stuff. Long enough to just roll over -- Artists after 4 o'clock guys it's official free agency is on. Everybody can sign now you don't have to worry about this a fast let's go ready to -- three day period so what is gonna happen who was gonna be the first big time signing we'll talk about it in ninety's. Once she no -- but no. -- have you couldn't.
