Mad Dog Sports Radio’s “MORNING MEN” on FOX 5 NY “Sports Xtra”
– Sports extra presented by Toyota so we’re going to talk about an array of sports topics right now however it could go off the rails because I’ve got a special treat for you the morning men are joining us now on Sunday night Sports extra that’s right the guys from Sirius XM’s Mad Dog sports radio are in studio joining me now Evan Cohen and Mike bad chick what’s up the morning that’s a reason we’re on TV now which one alright which one are you guys okay working at night cuz I know you guys are on 6 a.m. till 10:00 a.m. every morning I’m a drop sports radio I’m just not okay working with him whatever the time of day is I’m just happy to be employed frankly so I mean I don’t know if they’re upset that n we retired and I’m gonna ask you this does Babs dress like this each morning everybody men every day I mean you’re a part of the show you’ve been on the show many of times this is not how he normally looks Tina I have been a guest our morning met a couple of times I even had a chance to fill in for you guys several times will Linda come sorry well it was it was a good time they called us the morning women which is very cool when our callers when your callers called in but you guys here’s my big question how I struggle with this on good day New York how do you guys follow sports at night when you’re on you know you’re up and prep in 5a n you’re on the air at 6:00 again what is your method I’ll let my cancer that considering only one of two of us follow sports yeah I just go to bed and I just allow Evan to watch all the games pay attention take the notes and I react I’m like the reactor that’s what I do what Evan goes hey this team won Kawhi Leonard hits a last-second shot I go wow that’s my usually like the first time while we’re on the air you’re going beyond above and beyond and of course this is Evans second time on sports x-ray join me we chatted a little bit about NBA from your you also work at NBA radio as well on Sirius XM NB a finals so now it’s all set the Toronto Raptors the Canadian team iam first time ever in the finals up which is bad should I ask you your thoughts on them against the Warriors I’m not here to do that I’d rather we don’t even talk about the NBA Finals well Tina and I just maybe we just leave you out so I picked this before the season believe it or not yeah I had the Warriors and the Raptors before the season I thought Kawhi Leonard was gonna have a monster year this year but can I give a warning to Knicks fans because I’m already starting to see it yeah I’ve already started to see here’s what’s happening so the Knicks fans are looking at this and saying this is gonna be great the Warriors will win the NBA championship with Durant won’t play exactly and then I’ll end up on the Knicks so the Knicks fans had this mentality that they lost out on Zion Williamson well you didn’t lose I in waves he was ever on your team right so don’t put Kevin Durant in a Knicks uniform Tina prior to this actually happening so yes the Finals may play a role in all this but you gotta relax he’s not on the team yet but he will be if the Warriors beat the Raptors in five I’ll be the first to tweet at BAP trick I’m gonna tweet a Kevin Durant that I know he looks because he’s he’s got a lot of feelings little sensor he’s got the burner accounts and I’m gonna say hey man they won without you they don’t need you to New York needed based on your breath that smells like you’ve had a hot dog so I should ask you then do you have the inside because there’s a lot of rumors now about him going to the Clippers to rant the Clippers what are your sources telling you no I’m not hearing that because nobody’s talking to me about that toss to me go now I didn’t hear that I think he’s coming my sources in New York marinara and fettuccine alfredo I love he’s coming to New York in fact I guarantee it ask you a question okay why the interview why is it so obvious and such a given that he’s gonna leave the Warriors look at the way that team is and I understand that we’re gonna look at it and say oh well they can win without him but you tell me why would you leave that team I think that he’s sick of the you know the narrative that he jumped on that 73 win team that it’s easy for him to win those championships even though he won the MVP twice in the NBA Finals when he was with them and now he wants to establish his own legacy and a guy that now they’re gonna follow me because it was Steph’s tee frankly I still think it is it was always Steph’s team as well as Durant plate so now it’ll be his team but I also think he’s thinking like LeBron he’s trying to establish his business acumen why am i talking you guys are my guests New York put Babs you want Tina are making it seem like he’s not successful business wise because he’s in the bed I know he already is his shows are already on TV the boardroom he’s got the digital format and there’s there’s so few athletes that can come to New York and handle it perfectly not everybody’s very sure about him with the media and I love the Knicks beat writers I think they’re great guys I mean there’s a lot of different ones from when I cover the team with MSG but humblebrag you don’t need to do that writers though yet knowing beat knowing guys that were there pants too tight that’s not a lot of free food they don’t write the headlines they don’t write the back page how is to recant handle them if they’re not winning out of the gate that makes me wider but to be fair to your point you just said that the moment he got there he was covered because the narrative of the 73 and 19th so maybe he’s been already covered kind of like New York like the way we’re gonna cover him here is it going to be that dissimilar to the way he was covered there and there’s one thing nationally he’s now disliked he comes here he I think he’ll be worshipped right she was his New York because a lot of guy chose New York he has a New York he treated the media great same thing Carmela was under oath I mean they gave him how here we go Falcon this is the third annual Falcon 4th 4th well Falcon is so you guys are happy when is it it’s just Saturday June so this is where he comes in and a place called habanero blues in New York City it’s gonna be a great time everyone comes out we have fun I wear a onesie whoo you know your guy in the back said do I
