I don't know what you should do, Mike.

I think I'd rather take a bullet in the head.

I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

I don't know what to say. The Beyond Dumb 2 to 6 show, right? Jackpot! 985, the sports hub. What does that game mean to you last night? To me, the game and the whole season, I think Boston's caught Cleveland, and it's one in one a in their neck and neck and whoever has home court wins that series i think the

key to this whole thing is isaiah Key to the whole thing is Isaiah. If Isaiah comes back and his balls to the wall and Cleveland catches you for home court, then it's, I favor Cleveland. Or even still, even if you still have home court, but Cleveland's playing really well and Isaiah's firing on all guns, then, you know, maybe Cleveland deserves that favorite moniker, but I'm surprised nationally we've played with the sound. I mean, Van Gundy, at the end of the game, clearly said Cleveland's still the clear-cut favorite, clear-cut. And Mass agrees with that, and others agree with that, and I think they're behind the curve. So that's Celtic's take. We got the Isaiah stuff again. We had thought on the Patriots coordinators.

Schefter was on ESPN today, really acting like both are gone, which to me, I think, relates to Bill and how he's going to have to start over on offense, defense, maybe his personnel guy and a new quarterback of the future, which is a lot to put on a 65-year-old's plate. So that's all on the board. Back to your phones. Here's Michael and Malden on the coaching thing.

Go, Michael.

Hey, how's going? I was going to see which you guys think would be the best fit for McDaniels and the reason why. I'll hang up and listen. Yeah, I think, well, do you want to go first? No, no, go ahead. I think it's Indy if Locke's shoulders good. Apparently he likes that GM who's there, Ballard. You know, there's a good relationship there and some history there. So it's he doesn't, he's not picking his GM, but it's the next best thing. And I still think the quarterback has a chance to be elite, has a chance to be an all-timer, if he gets healthy and has the right coaching. and I go with the Titans you know depending on what happens this weekend

they get blown out. I still think that Mike Malarkey could be fired. You have a good young quarterback that you can work with there potentially in Marriota. Pretty decent defense. John Robinson, the GM, used to be part of the Patriot scouting staff, so there's some relationship there. I'd wait on that one. And there's not going to be a lot of pressure, because who really cares about that team?

He goes to the Giants, like immediately, you know, the spotlight is on him. The Titans, I think you could screw up for a couple of years and kind of skate. So, I mean, instinctively, I say the Giants, but they're not going to have a quarterback. I mean, I don't know how you take that job without a quarterback.

He has to start over, and they've just hired a GM.

So Josh really doesn't get to pick his GM.

Now, the way... I mean, I don't know how you take that job without a quarterback. He has to start over, and they've just hired a GM.

So Josh really doesn't get to pick his GM. Now, the wild card in India, of course, is the owner, but that owner, as nuts as he is, he is sort of hands off. Like, he lets, he's let the football people do the football stuff. He's not, it's not like you deal with Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder, one of these guys. he's just a drug addict and a

scumball. Yeah, but again, but there

was a report from pro football talk you're dealing with Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder, one of these guys. He's just a drug addict and a scumbull.

Yeah, but again, but there was a report from pro football talk this week that Eressay wants a running back in the first round. Okay, well, you know, typically he hasn't, I mean, I don't know him to make those calls. Like he'll say it. He'll say all sorts of stuff, but I've never known Ursaid to be the guy to be in the draft room saying no, draft him.

Maybe he is.

I mean, he's got say all sorts of stuff. But I've never known Ursay to be the guy to be in the draft room saying no, draft him.

Maybe he is.

I mean, he's got a whole raft of other problems, but I don't know if that's it.

Here's Phil and Maldon on the Isaiah Paul Pearson.
