FunTranscript
00:00every player, you know, swooping down there with the left hand and whatnot.
00:04But there's any number of players.
00:06Obviously, being of a certain age, you have nostalgia for the pass.
00:12But, no, there's no doubt that the superstar players make life easier.
00:16Anybody, you know, could be a good announcer when your team's rocking and rolling
00:20and so-and-so's doing whatever they do to the highest level of competition.
00:24Tom, we see that some players are trying to maybe get workouts in
00:28and get back into the gym a little bit.
00:30What does Tom McGinnis do?
00:31Do you have to keep the voice, you know, you have to keep it going?
00:34Do you look at games or do you announce your son outside, you know, shooting baskets?
00:38What do you do?
00:38Or is that just something that it'll come back naturally?
00:42Yeah, no, there's no practice regarding that.
00:45But I would say this, like, as an announcer, you know, to me,
00:50and I've always been a news guy, just I grew up in a newsroom
00:53in terms of my early career in television as a sportscaster,
00:56but you're in a newsroom, and I think it makes you, and the reading, you know,
01:02just across the board in different genres, whether it's literature or nonfiction,
01:06just being well-informed and having an idea, I think, informs you as a broadcaster,
01:11whether it's through vocabulary.
01:14Again, that's like studying for Jeopardy.
01:15You're not going to handle that overnight.
01:17I just think there's a way of life to have that.
01:20But it's not like I think about, oh, how am I going to call the game or whatever.
01:25Or I do, one of the things we do at night is I sit there and I read to my son all the time.
01:31My wife thinks I have a second career as a narrator and an audible book guy.
01:35Maybe that's in the future.
01:37But, so, no, but there's no, you know, certainly there's a lot of smack talk
01:41in those backyard basketball shooting games and whatnot.
01:44But there's no preparation regarding practicing, getting ready to go back and call games or whatever.
01:50You know what, Tom, I think I just smell a bit right there.
01:54I think I smell a radio bit.
01:55Maybe we have you do some, I don't know, maybe some children's books.
01:58Would you read some stuff for us?
02:00I would love to do that.
02:02I remember one day, years ago at Bryn Mawr, it was, you know, a so-called celebrity thing.
02:08I know Jim Gardner was there.
02:09There was a real celebrity there.
02:10But we read For the Blind and Dyslexic at a lab there.
02:13I don't know if it still exists.
02:15And I tore into that.
02:17And it was, you know, they do it all the time.
02:19I was, to me, I was like, you know, I am ready for the silver, but I'll make it a gold.
02:23And I went in there and it was a very, like, a librarian type of person that was on the other side of the glass, if you will.
02:30And, you know, and I thought I killed it.
02:32You know, it was something I don't even know what the book was.
02:34And she kind of framed it properly and said, oh, you mispronounced LeVeux, Jackson-Pay 67.
02:41I'm like, come on, Bob, Bob, where's Jackson-Pay 67?
02:46I would pay to be in attendance.
02:50Tom, if you weren't doing, and you referenced the thing about your wife saying that you'd be, you know, maybe a narrator or something.
02:57But if you weren't calling basketball games, what would you be doing?
03:01Like, as far as a career?
03:02As far as a career, what was the next option or the next thing you wanted to go to?
03:07Yeah, so the next thing was, you know, when I was young.
03:10And, again, I started in television.
03:11I mean, I was really lucky.
03:13I started in Charleston, South Carolina.
03:15I was a broadcast journalism major at Northern Illinois, which is another dig my son goes.
03:21I was like, you can't go to the University of Illinois.
03:23You went to Northern Illinois.
03:24I'm like, okay.
03:26That's a good way.
03:27But he's right.
03:28I couldn't get into the divide.
03:29But, anyway, so I did the television.
03:34I always wanted to be around basketball, and that's why eventually I went to the CD.
03:38But there was a point there during the TV, and I still was around basketball.
03:42I was done at the Citadel, and Les Robinson was nice.
03:45And we used to play basketball there with those guys.
03:48And always close to the game.
03:51So coaching would have been something way back then.
03:55I actually spoke to, at the time, George Felton was in a, he became the head coach of the University of South Carolina.
04:00He was an assistant for Bobby Kremens at Georgia Tech for years.
04:03And this is the mid-'80s, about possibly the graduate assistant's job at Carolina, South Carolina.
04:09But that would have been the, and then the other thing is, you know, maybe this is lofty aspirations.
04:14My father was a lawyer, and he ended up working in a bank for 35 years.
04:18He wound up being the president of the bank, chairman of the board.
04:21It was a small bank in our little town.
04:23But he never practiced law, and I was around it a lot.
04:28My neighbor was a lawyer.
04:30His son became a judge.
04:31I did an internship with a lawyer.
04:33And I just, you know, this is going to sound weird, but on the road, there have been times over the years, lots of times,
04:41where I go to court, and I'm just an observer, and I've been fascinated by that.
04:45Like I said, I read all the time.
04:47What I like about it is that there's right and wrong.
04:51There's always gray area.
04:52There's two sides.
04:54But the law separates what, you know, in the end.
04:57And I realize there's a jury system or whatever.
04:59But a lot of times, the rule of law is a great separator.
05:03And I just, I love reading about old cases or whatever.
05:06So that would have been something I thought about one year, you know, and over the years, I've played so many, again,
05:12so-called celebrity golf tournaments where you go and you help pitch in for a charity.
05:16By playing golf, they feed you, you know what I mean?
05:18Like, who should be thanking who here?
05:20But it was with a bunch of lawyers in Westchester.
05:22Right.
05:22And the dad was a personal injury firm, and the dad was there, and there was a guy about my age just about 15 years ago.
05:31And they kind of got wind of this, what I was talking about.
05:34And the dad said, well, jeez, you ought to think about, and the son stopped to make a stand.
05:39He's a sportscaster.
05:40Like, why would he ever do that?
05:43But certainly it's something I've given thought to over the years.
05:45Yeah, I'm amazed that Tom McGinnis would sit in courtrooms and just, well, I've been in those courtrooms when I was studying journalism at Temple.
05:53A couple assignments I got from teachers was go to a courtroom, study, or, you know, cover a case for a day to write about it.
06:00It is fascinating.
06:01I can see how someone would get caught up in that.
06:03Yeah.
06:04No, it is.
06:04And sometimes you strike out.
06:05Sometimes it's so boring.
06:07But sometimes you're like, holy smokes.
06:11And then it could be very interesting because that's real.
06:14You know what I'm saying?
06:14And it's not TV.
06:16It's not some reality, you know, some made-up TV show.
06:19It's real.
06:21And just the powers of observation and everything that's going on, you have to sort it out and kind of figure out what's going on.
06:28And even in Philly, when I was single back when I first started here in the 90s, I would sit there at the judicial center a couple times because I have no hair.
06:37But at the time, I had a short hair.
06:39And they would think I was like a police officer.
06:41And I'd get from the judge.
06:42When we got back there, I'm like, just an observer.
06:47Hi.
06:47I'm making this room.
06:49They said goodbye.
06:50They were trying to figure out how to get some looks sometimes from the defense side like I was in there, you know.
06:57But even in Memphis, I got that in Shelby County, Tennessee one time.
07:01But for the most part, you can just go in there.
07:03I did it in Toronto.
07:04I got it in London.
07:05I did it in Bermuda.
07:07I mean, for the most part, you could just – it's our system.
07:10You could just go sit in there and be an observer.
07:12And to me, it's entertaining.
07:14I get it.
07:15It's a little dry.
07:16But like I said, the reporter made the powers of observation.
07:20It really – it gives you a lot to think about.
07:22So, speaking with Tom McGinnis, Sixers play-by-play man right here on 97.5, the Fanatic.
07:27You mentioned Toronto.
07:29Tomorrow's the anniversary of it, the quadruple doink.
07:32That has to be, although unfortunate, one of the more historic calls of your career.
07:38Well, no question about it.
07:39And just to be in that situation, a game seven on the road, I mean, that's obviously why you try to get home court advantage.
07:48And, you know, the Sixers ran into an incredible player in Kawhi Leonard who was at the peak of his powers.
07:55And I remember the first time we played him with the Raptors, not in the playoffs, and I'll get to that, but just, you know, the regular season game.
08:03And we hadn't seen him.
08:04Those Spurs players, they didn't play against the set.
08:06And we didn't see Tim Duncan for, like, the last three years of his career other than shooting bank shots warming up at 530.
08:13And Kawhi was the same way.
08:14And remember, he'd only played 14 games the previous year.
08:17But he started to guard Ben right in front of me.
08:20He tore in.
08:21I'm like, holy smokes.
08:23I forgot how good this guy was.
08:24Speaking of Leonard, and he was going to show him, you know, this is what I got.
08:30And then that game, you know, remember, 45 points, 41 points.
08:34And then in that game, I believe we had another 45 in that game-winning shot.
08:39As I said before, I actually called it off a monitor because I was in the front row and couldn't see all the way down there.
08:45And actually practiced in the third quarter.
08:47If that came up, if there was a big play there, I'm sure enough, I, you know, as I think it was Ibaka, he invited a tile.
08:54And I've shared this before.
08:55But then I turned to the monitor and watched the rest of it on TV, like you guys as well, other than it was, you know, 58 feet away from me, down in the right baseline corner.
09:04But also, you've got to go back in that game.
09:07The Sixers scored 13 points in the opening quarter.
09:10And I hate to go here, but Ben and Joel had a combined nine turnovers in the game.
09:14And there were a lot of shot clock violations at the very end.
09:18There were a lot of things that went into that, including game four in Philadelphia where the Sixers had a two-games-to-one lead.
09:25The game is tied with six minutes to go.
09:28And the Sixers could not get it done.
09:31And Leonard had a huge three-pointer over Joel with a minute to go to put them over to tie the series at two games.
09:36But if the Sixers go up and win that game, and again, Joel was under the weather that game, that series is three-to-one.
09:43And it might be a whole different story than coming down to that final shot that bounced on the rim four times and went in and gave the Raptors maybe the most miraculous shot in game seven NBA playoff history.
09:56Speaking with Tom McGinnis, Tom, last thing for me at least, I know that nobody knows about when sports will return or if the Sixers return, if basketball returns.
10:07How optimistic are you and what's your gut telling you about getting at least a 16-team tournament back from the NBA?
10:15Well, again, and I don't know, and that's my answer.
10:18But as Elton Brand shared with the media last Monday in speaking with the league, it's going to be driven by data.
10:25And they're going to push the decision that was reported that Adam Silver talked about this with the players and that it may be in June.
10:32And that's what you have to wait on.
10:33And, you know, you get the sense that they're going to do the right thing.
10:38So it would be awesome, but it has to be right for everybody involved, the players, the staff, the country.
10:46And the NBA has proven to be a tremendous leader in many episodes, issues across the board over the years.
10:53And you've got to trust that Adam Silver and the crew will make the right to call.
10:58Well, I know this much, Tom.
11:00We miss, obviously, the Sixers, but we certainly miss you calling the games as well.
11:04You do such a fantastic job.
11:05And I'm not kidding.
11:06I'm going to at least send you a couple children's books or something.
11:09And we've got to get a little – we've got like 60 seconds of Tom McGinnis doing children's books.
11:14That's right.
11:15Hey, boys and girls, are you kidding me?
11:17Tom, great catching up with you, man.
11:22Thanks so much.
11:22Good luck in the ping-pong tournaments.
11:23Who's leading the family series so far?
11:26Like I said, the 14-year-old Luke has begun to take over, and he's walking around with a swagger.
11:35Tom, you're the best.
11:36Hope to see you soon, buddy.
11:37Have a good one, buddy.
11:38Tom McGinnis is right there.
11:39Thanks, Tom.
11:40Oh, my God.
11:40Bye, guys.
11:41See you, buddy.
11:42Thanks so much.
11:43You hear the voice, and it makes you miss basketball even more, doesn't it?
11:46You know, it really does.
11:47I mean, there's a comfort to it.
11:49Tom is so – he's great at what he does.
11:52And I – I mean, I grew up with him with the Iverson era.
11:56And, like, if I had to – if I was, for whatever reason, not home yet, running late, getting home to watch a game.
12:03Yeah.
12:03And I'm listening to Tom.
12:05Those are memories that will live on forever.
12:10Forever.
12:11Listening to Tom McGinnis make those calls.
12:13And what's always funny is if you could be listening to game 13 or 14 on the season with somebody in the car that's not a big basketball fan.
12:23Like, my wife didn't grow up in this area.
12:25Like, she'll listen, and she'll be like, is this a playoff game?
12:29Yeah.
12:29Is this a game seven?
12:31And you're like, no, it's the second week of the season.
12:33This is just Tom.
12:34And, like, he calls games as Philadelphia fans relate to the game.
12:39Like, we have that kind of passion, and we'll talk about Brian Dawkins.
12:43He played the game with the passion we had as fans.
12:46Tom calls the game.
12:47Oh, man, that's irritating.
12:49Tom calls the game with the passion we had as fans.
12:51We got action here at the center.
12:52I – to be honest, when we would be on long road trips, you know, you're on the road for up to two weeks or whatever,
12:58and, you know, you're doing game number whatever,
13:00there were times where McGinnis would be seated near me in the press area,
13:06and it was like a comfort.
13:08It was a comfort to watch the game and hear Tom's voice at the same time
13:11because not a lot of times on the road is he near me enough that I could actually hear him.
13:15But on those few times it were, and it usually came on long road trips, it was comforting.
13:20It really was.
13:21It was like, oh, okay, I'm back home listening to Tom McGinnis,
13:24and then you realize, oh, no, I'm not.
13:25I'm 3,000 miles away from him.
13:26Welcome to Philadelphia.
13:27I can't imagine sitting in a courtroom, turning around,
13:33and there's Tom McGinnis in, like, the back row just there for his own –
13:37I hate to use the word entertainment and belittle the court system,
13:39but, like, he's intrigued by that.
13:42He's absolutely intrigued.
13:43He'll go on the road.
13:44Did you know that, Bob?
13:45Yeah.
13:45When he brought it up, I remembered him telling –
13:48because, you know, what are you doing tomorrow?
13:49You know, you want to go to a movie or something?
13:51You want to go?
13:52And I went to the courtroom yesterday.
13:54And I do remember him – you know, Tom and I had dinner many, many, many times
13:57through the years.
13:58And, yeah, that's – looking to kill time on the road, that was one of his joys,
14:02and that's a pretty neat thing.
14:03That is – that's amazing.
14:04When we come back, we'll jump a little bit more into the commissioner
14:08of the league's comments, also Joel Embiid,
14:10actually working out at the team practice facility over the weekend.

14:40NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and the NBA Players Association
14:43held a conference call over the weekend to allow players to ask questions
14:46on a possible return of the NBA season.
14:48Silver stated that no definite decisions needed to be made in May
14:51or even early June on if the season will be able to resume.
14:54But some early ideas to make it possible would be to hold games
14:58at one or two locations in Orlando or Las Vegas.
15:01Silver went on to say that the location wouldn't matter without fans in attendance,
15:05so it would be safer for players to travel as little as possible.
15:08Lastly, Silver stated that they would not plan to return
15:11unless the U.S. had enough available testing to give the league
15:13without taking from players in need, from people in need.
15:16The commissioner estimated that they would need a total of 15,000 tests to resume the season.
15:22Shaquille O'Neal spoke over the weekend to give his opinion on the situation.
15:25The NBA Gray stated that he thinks the league should not return this season
15:29and they should wait it out until next year,
15:31adding that whoever would win this year would have an asterisk next to their title.

20:13Farset in the morning.
20:15Now.
20:15On 97.5 The Fanatic.
20:18It's funny.
20:19Our friend Karate Mark just tweeted me the one scene I'm not talking about until tomorrow with The Last Dance.
20:27Because it's that good.
20:28It's the one thing that I feel like would really spoil watching this television series.
20:34I know it's a miniseries.
20:35I know it's a docu-series.
20:36Whatever you want to call it.
20:37I'm not.
20:37Bob, you know the reference.
20:38You know the reference.
20:39I just.
20:39I introduced the question they asked Michael Jordan.
20:42Yeah.
20:42But his answer is just too good.
20:45And it's not like he dazzled me with his answer.
20:49What dazzled me was the honest moment that it was.
20:52And Michael Jordan gets asked the question.
20:55Basically, did you forfeit the opinion of people thinking you're a nice guy because you wanted to win so bad?
21:03And the way Michael Jordan answers that question is great television.
21:07And I will leave that for other people to digest and dissect themselves before we talk about it on the air.
21:13But it is a moment that I just stared at the TV and I was just like, wow, this is incredible.
21:18This is absolutely incredible.
21:20There was another moment that I will talk about that I just thought was complete BS and made it a puff piece, in my opinion, in this one regard.
21:26Which was Gary Payton is talking about guarding Michael Jordan in the 96 finals.
21:34And Jordan, he's talking about how tough he was playing Jordan.
21:38And he was giving him elbows.
21:39And he was really playing him hard.
21:40He's riding him and all that.
21:41And then, like, they go from interviewing Gary Payton to then showing Michael Jordan the Gary Payton interview.
21:48And Jordan's, like, laughing at Gary Payton.
21:50And he's like, I had no problem with the glove.
21:52I had no problem with the glove.
21:54And it's like, all right.
21:55Do you have to laugh at the guy?
21:56Yeah.
21:57And I'm like, that really gives it the kind of, I don't know, the kind of, like, hey, Jordan, no matter what we do, you have a final say on everything.
22:06So here's you approving and getting the quote-unquote exact last laugh at somebody saying that he was guarding you tough in the finals.
22:12That part I was like, nah, I could do without.
22:15Yeah, and then when you see the numbers that Payton held Jordan to when he finally did cover him in that series, Jordan's lying.
22:23I mean, Gary Payton did great.
22:24No, he had other things on his mind, Bob.
22:26He had other things on his mind.
22:27Okay.
22:28Well, he didn't have other things on his mind when he was shooting or scoring 32 points a game and shooting almost 50% when he wasn't guarded by Gary Payton.
22:35And then when he finally was, those numbers went to, like, 22 and 37.
22:41Jeez.
22:41Yeah.
22:42It is wild.
22:44And for anyone who hasn't seen all of them yet, basically the seventh episode deals a lot with Jordan playing baseball, the gambling issue, the gambling theories that were out there at the time.
22:53Episode 8 really does deal very well with kind of Jordan's mindset more so than anything and his mindset at practice.
23:06And it's pretty amazing.
23:07It also covers, episode 7 also covers Scotty Pippen taking himself out of the game, which we already knew about.
23:13But again, it's one thing to know these stories going into the series, going into the docu-series.
23:19It's another to watch the people that lived the stories, that created the stories, tell the story from their perspective.
23:26And all I'll say is, man, Bill Cartwright was crying.
23:30That got me.
23:31Bill Cartwright was crying, Bobby.
23:34It's worth it.
23:35It's definitely worth it.
23:36There was some stuff in there last night that I was surprised, you know, you're right, Mark.
23:40A lot of stuff comes up and you knew it, and it's good to see the inside of it.
23:44But other stuff that came up, Jordan had a 13-game hitting streak when he started playing baseball?
23:49Yeah, how about that?
23:50I didn't know that.
23:51I didn't remember that at all.
23:52I saw Walker Bueller, you know, the potential Cy Young candidate from the Dodgers, said, I don't care who you are.
23:58I couldn't hit 200 in minor league baseball after not picking up a bat for a decade plus.
24:04Yeah, 17 years.
24:05I always knew he hit over 200, and I always thought that was incredible.
24:11I think it was 203.
24:13Yeah, something like that.
24:14Yeah, 202 or 203, yeah.
24:15Yeah.
24:17Let's have an argument about it for 20 minutes.
24:19Well, that's just what we like to do.
24:21But when I watch it, Reinsdorf comes out and even says he didn't play baseball from the time he was 17 to the time he was 31 years old.
24:31Yeah.
24:32It's incredible.
24:32He gave a baseball bat, worked a bunch, and hit 202, 203.
24:37And that was double-A, right?
24:39In double-A.
24:40Which is where your best pitchers are.
24:42Your best pitchers are.
24:43And double, the only reason he was in double-A is because that was the only, that was the lowest class of baseball where they could accommodate the media availability.
24:51How amazing is that?
24:54Well, it was funny, too.
24:55They kind of curtailed it a little bit.
24:57They were like, yeah, you got the 13-game hitting streak.
24:59And then pitchers were like, okay, we're going to start throwing you some breaking stuff.
25:03And then that's where he really, really struggled.
25:06But the coolest part, one of the real cool parts, was when they had Francona miked up on the field.
25:11I was just going to ask, because I haven't gotten to that episode yet.
25:13Tito makes an appearance.
25:14I won't give it away.
25:15No, it's fine.
25:16Yeah, Tito makes an appearance.
25:16And they also go back to, they miked him up while he was a third base coach while Jordan was hitting one time.
25:22And it just so happened.
25:24Am I right, Mark?
25:24Jordan hit a triple?
25:27Yeah.
25:28Yeah, I know.
25:29Some of the scenes I forget, too.
25:31I think so.
25:31But it's really weird.
25:33They have Francona miked up.
25:35And he's talking to the announcers and to Jordan at the same time.
25:38So he's talking to now, yeah, Michael works.
25:39They're like, come on, Mike.
25:40Let's go, MJ.
25:40Get a hit here.
25:41And then Jordan, like, plunks one into the gap and winds up getting a triple.
25:46Didn't he wind up a third?
25:47Was it a triple that he got?
25:49I think it was.
25:49Maybe, yeah.
25:50But I thought Francona was really cool the way he talked about Jordan.
25:54Here's the official stat line.
25:56202 batting average, 289 on base percentage, three home runs, 51 RBIs.
26:03How about that?
26:04Just under 500 plate appearances, 436 at-bats.
26:08Struck out 114 times.
26:10Hey, not for nothing.
26:12Hey, good for him.
26:13But I do like the line from Terry Francona when he introduced himself to Michael Jordan.
26:18He goes, hi, I'm Terry Francona.
26:20I guess I'll be your manager.
26:22That was like the most Fredo Tito line ever, man.
26:26That was just the way he delivered.
26:28It was great.
26:29But it is incredible.
26:30Picking up a baseball bat and hitting 202 in the minors, nonetheless, still pretty impressive.
26:34That's insane.
26:35Basketball-wise, on the local front, Joel Embiid.
26:38Oh, in case you haven't seen it on the football side of things, Carlos Hyde.
26:41The Eagles are reportedly interested in Carlos Hyde per Adam Kaplan.
26:46We were talking about that score earlier.
26:47He averaged 4.4 yards a carry last year.
26:49Yeah, it was his first 1,000-yard season.
26:51Yeah, pretty impressive.
26:53That is impressive.
26:53I'd love to get him.
26:5529 years old, be 30 in mid-September.
26:58So around the time the season starts, he'd be 30 years old.
27:00I love the idea of adding him to this backfield as a veteran running back.
27:04They're probably going to play and keep four running backs, I would imagine.
27:07So why not?
27:08Yeah.
27:09Yeah, I think you're good to go.
27:10I mean, one of them is going to have to play special teams at least.
27:14So you figure Clement and Boston Scott might have to mix it up in the special teams.
27:18I don't think Carlos Hyde has that in him, but yeah, why not?
27:21No, he's not a special team.
27:23But I think you also drafted wide receivers that could be special teams.
27:26Yeah.
27:27I think your running back room is going to stay pretty much just to that.
27:29Scott, Sanders, Clement, and Hyde if you get them.
27:33Yeah, I think that's pretty solid.
27:34Yeah.
27:35Sorry, new deal.
27:36Yeah.
27:37Sorry, new deal, Elijah Holyfield.
27:39But regarding basketball, Joel B.
27:42Holyfield ain't making the squad.
27:44It appears he's not.
27:47He doesn't have a fighter's chance.
27:49Oh, my man.
27:51My man.
27:52You go say that to his dad.
27:55Say it to him.
27:56Have you seen him?
27:57He's a cannonball, that kid.
27:59But nonetheless, Joel Embiid worked out at the team facility over the weekend.
28:03And it wasn't as warmly as received as I thought it would be.
28:07First off, the NBA originally planned to open practice facilities two weeks ago.
28:12The teams themselves apparently didn't know that.
28:15Woads broke the story.
28:16Teams and players pushed back.
28:18NBA said, okay, we'll push it back a week.
28:20So they opened on last Friday.
28:22Joel Embiid went in there over the weekend and worked out.
28:26The only thing that I saw on his Instagram post that I was like, oh, that's interesting,
28:30was that somebody else was in the photo sitting on the baseline.
28:33But it wasn't like they were playing five-on-five scrimmages here.
28:37He was getting a workout in.
28:39I didn't have an issue with it.
28:40It wasn't like he was attracting a crowd at some park in the city and he put up a hoop himself to defy social distancing laws.
28:48I didn't have a problem with it.
28:50I like the idea he's getting his workout in when he could and in the safest way possible.
28:56Do you not want him to work out if there's a season?
28:58I think there's going to be a season.
28:59I think we're going to have a tournament at some point.
29:01I want to see him get those reps in.
29:03Bob, you saw the same thing I did.
29:05I didn't have an issue with it.
29:06I thought it was a good thing.
29:07No, I didn't have an issue with it if it was all done right and it appears it was.
29:10And I'm sure the Sixers would say, look, they had a scare.
29:13They never came out and said who it was.
29:14But they had three people in their organization, remember, that had the coronavirus, that tested positively.
29:20So I'm sure they took care and proceeded with all the right, you know, cautiousness that they have to do.
29:28I think the people that were upset, it was more – Jamie had the perfect word.
29:32It was more of a jealousy thing.
29:34Like, oh, man, seriously, athletes.
29:36Athletes get to get out of here today.
29:37Privileged, pampered athletes.
29:39Yeah, and, you know, there's a point.
29:40I understand everybody's frustration.
29:42There's a point to it or whatever, but I'm okay with it.
29:45If he got in there and everything was done properly, all right, I'm fine with it.
29:49Yeah, as I said earlier, it's like, would you want him there or would you want him trying to find his own private gym that he can go get shots up at?
29:56Yeah, right.
29:56That's probably not getting sanitized and professionally cleaned like the Sixers facility is.
30:02So, yeah, I'm okay with it and I don't really get the other side.

35:32I FaceTimed with Mom and Dad yesterday for Mother's Day, obviously, right?
35:36Mom got to FaceTime with Lil Toots, and I will say this.
35:40I saw my dad, beards growing in.
35:42Beards growing in.
35:43Ah, nice.
35:44Do you like it?
35:44First and only time.
35:45Big deal with the beard.
35:46My dad was like, I'm going to shave it.
35:48And I said, now you listen to me.
35:51Hey, you have given me wonderful advice throughout my life, Dad.
35:54Let me give you some advice.
35:56Don't you dare shave that beard.
35:58You pull it off, my friend.
36:00So knowing my dad, he probably shaved it immediately.
36:03I was going to say, yeah.
36:04He was like, oh.
36:04Immediately after we hung up the phone.
36:05I must look stupid.
36:06Mark's trying to get me to walk around with this thing on, so I'm going to shave it.
36:09He's gone out in public and stuff.
36:10He told me he was at the store, and I'm like, that's even great.
36:12I want the security footage.
36:14Does Eleanor approve of his beard?
36:15My mom goes, I think it's okay.
36:17That's like her response.
36:19So I think she hates it.
36:20But whatever.
36:21It's the first time I've ever seen my dad in a beard, so it is what it is.
36:24We were talking about this really throughout the entire offseason.
36:28And I feel like it's a failure if they bring him back.
36:32Andre Dillard is your left tackle of the future.
36:35I just thought the future at least would be this coming season, if they do have a season.
36:40I just feel like if Jason Peters is back, I don't think he is going to be a backup.
36:47That would be what I would do with him, but I don't think the Eagles would bring him back
36:51in a backup role.
36:52I think if they re-sign Jason Peters, and according to Derek Gunn of NBC Sports Philadelphia, that's
36:57that's the conversation, and I know that might seem obvious to some people.
37:01Gunners, as we all know, very much in tune with the Eagles.
37:04I hope it's not true, because if it's not true, that means Andre Dillard is ready to take
37:12that step forward.
37:13If it is true, I don't think we can have it both ways where Jason Peters comes back and
37:17Andre Dillard, the Eagles are confident in him that he could be your starting left tackle.
37:22Nah, if he comes back, he's starting.
37:23He's, yeah, I don't, that's not what I would do, but I think that's what the Eagles would
37:27do.
37:27You know what he's doing right now?
37:28I think the Eagles want to move on from him, but he's like that bully girlfriend in Seinfeld
37:33that's like, yeah, we're not broken up yet.
37:36Like, no, George, no, we're going to work on this.
37:39We're not broken up.
37:40What are you doing?
37:41Like, I think the Eagles want to move on, but they know how hard it is because of Mr.
37:45Laurie and Jason's relationship.
37:47And, and, and frankly, what Jason means to that locker room.
37:50When you hear the other offensive line talk about.
37:51Oh yeah.
37:52Lineman talk about him.
37:53And I mean, they talk about him with reverence.
37:55Like he's the godfather.
37:56So I think they want to move on, but they're having a really tough time doing it.
38:00And Jason Peters is almost bullying them into taking them back.
38:05Like, that's really what it seems like is that he's bullying the team.
38:08I could picture him having the conversation with Jeffrey Lurie, not Howie Roseman.
38:12Yeah.
38:12I don't even think Jason Peters knows who Howie Roseman is.
38:15There's no chance he's having this conversation with Howie Roseman.
38:18Rosie's out.
38:19Jeffrey Lurie.
38:19Exactly.
38:20Oh yeah.
38:20He just goes up to Jeffrey Lurie and Jeffrey Lurie is probably like, Hey, you're my best
38:24friend.
38:25I love you.
38:26We should get an apartment together.
38:27I miss your musk.
38:29I just want to be friends.
38:31I don't know if people know this or not, but I have it on good authority.
38:33Jeffrey Lurie moisturizes Jason Peters beard.
38:36I don't think most people know that, but I just want to tell you.
38:39It wouldn't shock me.
38:40If I get a story, I'm going to go with it.
38:42Okay.
38:42I got half of one source.
38:44Doesn't that seem like what's happening here?
38:47Yeah.
38:47They're like, no, Andre Dillard's our guy.
38:49We're moving forward, but we'll leave our breakup letter open.
38:53And Jason Peters is turning down teams and basically forcing his way back here.
38:56Yeah.
38:56We're moving forward with Andre Dillard.
38:58If we can get back on the field, there's no way he's going to be ready.
39:02You know, if he doesn't get some more reps in.
39:04If she stops stalking my Tinder, I'll get back out there, guys.
39:07But right now she's stalking me, so I can't be out there.
39:10Jeff Lurie's trying to like kindly break up and Jason Peters is like, no.
39:13No, we're not breaking up, Jeffrey.
39:15We're not.
39:15I don't think I'll let you wave me today.
39:18Yeah.
39:19Say no to my face.
39:22Lurie just gives him the.
39:24How much?
39:25All right.
39:26All right.
39:27We're not broken up yet.
39:28All right, but I can't go big money, Jason.
39:29It's only going to have to be like $4 million, okay?
39:32Yeah.
39:32Now you put that aloe on my beard.
39:35Moisturize my beard.
39:38These are the sick things that we think about.
39:41Nonetheless, so that's one story that's out there, as people are well aware of.
39:44I just think it's inevitable is the word to use.
39:47I don't feel like Jason Peters has played his last game, and I thought he had.
39:52I now don't think Alshon Jeffrey has played his last game as an Eagle.
39:56I think he will play for the Eagles in the upcoming season,
39:59and I'm confident there will be a season.
40:00It may be not with fans, but I just think we're going to be in a better spot,
40:04as Dr. Fauci said, in three months than we are right now and in four months,
40:09and that's what I'm holding out hope for.
40:10And even though Dr. Fauci said to Peter King,
40:13we're going to be in a spot where you could have fans at games,
40:17or you could also have players that are tested twice a week play without fans in the stands.
40:21As long as they're tested twice a week, you would also, even on that side of optimism,
40:26you would also have to entertain the pessimism, which would be that football is unfortunately the perfect way to spread coronavirus,
40:34which is awful.
40:36That's why testing needs to become readily available, as the NFL has said,
40:39and Peter King even put a number out on it, estimating 200,000 coronavirus tests,
40:47you know, tests for COVID-19 would have to be used throughout the NFL season,
40:51factoring players, factoring in coaches, and factoring essential personnel to be really to let this season start up.
40:59200 tests.
41:00So without testing being readily available, that ain't happening.
41:03Now, the other veteran, like I said, Alshon Jeffrey, he's a guy that I do expect to come back to the Eagles this upcoming season.
41:11It appears, listening to Carson Wentz on with John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia,
41:15where he just basically came out and said that he's been in touch with Alshon Jeffrey,
41:20and he didn't say mend fences because that would be acknowledging a fence needed to be mended,
41:26but basically said it's all good.
41:29If they're having communication in the offseason, you'd have to think that it's all good.
41:32Oh, good for them.
41:33But he'd also be a realist with it, and think about the numbers behind everything, the money behind it.
41:38It makes more sense for the Eagles to hold on to them.
41:41And if those two have mended that fence, then I guess we're all good.
41:44Sam Wilson, about that NFL season, what did the good people tell us on our Twitter poll today,
41:48brought to you by Window Nation.
41:50Call 1-866-90-NATION or visit windownation.com.
41:5224 months, two years, no payments.
41:55Sam Wilson, what did they say?
41:56Today we asked, are you confident there will be an NFL season, yes or no?
42:00While we had just under 2,500 votes, 54% said yes, they're confident.
42:05Yeah, it did not go as high as I would have liked it today, unfortunately.
42:10By the way, just getting this right now, Woj just tweeting out,
42:14the NBA and NBA Players Association reached an agreement to extend through September
42:20the 60-day window that preserves the league's right to terminate the collective bargaining agreement
42:26in wake of the pandemic.
42:28Sources told ESPN the original 60-day window was closing early this week.
42:33So that's just out there by Woj as well.
42:36Bob, what does that mean?
42:37I don't know.
42:38There was a deadline for something, and now it's extended.
42:41Yeah, they've extended their decision time.
42:44Yeah, pretty much.
42:45It seems like they just bought themselves another 60 days.
42:47Sam Wilson, what is your takeaway of the day?
42:51My takeaway is of all the Mother's Day story we heard today and talked about,
42:55Mark had the best Mother's Day out of all of them.
42:59I did.
43:00I had myself a great Mother's Day.
43:01My wife even admitted it.
43:02The heroes of Mother's Day are fathers.
43:05Let's not forget that.
43:07Per sources that are all fathers.
43:08Dad lives matter.
43:09Jamie Lynch.
43:13My takeaway of the day is R.I.P. to Jerry Stiller, one of the all-time greats in any TV series ever.
43:22I'll never forget him.
43:24Frank Costanza has left an impression on my life, and that's pretty incredible.
43:28You want a piece of me?
43:30You got it!
43:32And also, somebody get Mike and Shemokin at Baconator, please.
43:35Yeah, geez.
43:36Help the man out.
43:37We have failed as a society if we don't get him a Baconator.
43:42Bob Cooney.
43:43It's almost a PSA for me.
43:46Dr. Anthony Fauci, or little T, as I used to call him in our playing days.
43:50Stop toying with our emotions, please.
43:52When you are asked about sports moving forward, incorporate these three words.
43:58I don't know.
44:00Here, here.
44:01Please.
44:01Please.
44:02I beg of you.
44:05Coming up, I'll give you my takeaway of the day in just a second.
44:07But first and foremost, on behalf of the entire show, congratulations, our man Graf.
44:12He had a very small, very socially distanced wedding ceremony with his lovely now wife.
44:18Congratulations to you, Graf.
44:21Beautifully done.
44:22They put it out on Zoom yesterday as well.
44:24Included our good friend, Trey Thomas, as well on that trade.
44:27Took part in the Zoom.
44:29Congratulations to Graf and his lovely missus.
44:32My takeaway of the day is we have a holiday because of Jerry Stiller.
44:38Ladies and gentlemen, that holiday is Festivus.
44:41Sure, it's a funny bit written.
44:42I got a lot of problems with you people.
44:45But it's only forever because of how well he executed it.
44:48Rest in peace.
44:49Stay tuned for the Anthony Gargano show here on 97.5.

46:45MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred will speak with team owners and their players association
46:49early this week to throw around possibilities of radical rule changes if the season is able
46:54to return.
46:55Some of the ideas on the table to discuss in the meetings will be the realignment of divisions
46:59to make teams travel as little as possible.
47:01The possibility of seven inning doubleheaders still is not off the board, and one new very
47:05likely outcome is to add the designated hitter position into the National League.
47:09Manfred will speak with the team owners today on the possibilities and with the MLB Players
47:13Association tomorrow.
47:14The league still hopes to be able to start spring training round two in June and hold opening
47:18day on July 1st.
