Summary

Hour 3 opens with Giannis dominating the NBA deadline conversation, plus the fallout from Tom Brady’s “no dog in the fight” comments as even active players pile on. Then the real deadline bomb drops: Shams reports the Bucks are keeping Giannis, which the show calls the best possible news for Knicks fans and a major setup for a wild summer. Minutes later, the Knicks strike anyway, landing Jose Alvarado in a low-risk move built for playoff minutes. The guys break down why he’s a perfect pest defender, why it helps if Deuce McBride’s injury lingers, and how “Jose Jose” might return at the Garden. It also sparks a classic New York argument: Knicks title odds vs Islanders “sport nature” logic, complete with soapbox energy and lap talk. The hour wraps with Jets frustration returning fast as the conversation shifts to roster building, reputation, and why the Knicks are the blueprint for fixing a broken franchise. Leon Rose gets his flowers for deadline hits, while the Jets still feel stuck in the cycle.

Of course, Janus is the man of the hour.

There's been a lot of big trades at this NBA trade deadline so far. We've seen James Harding get moved, obviously, the other day. Anthony Davis get traded to Washington a couple of weeks ago. Now it was Trey Young going to Washington. But Janus is the big one. And we will see in the next three hours if Janice Antenacumbo is moved. Earlier in the show, you could rewind to about 11 a.m., We were playing clips of Tom Brady claiming that he doesn't have a dog in the fight in the Super Bowl. And I mentioned that a lot of people in Boston are upset about it, as well as his former teammates. An active player, Roberts Palaine, came out and said that he's, quote, disgusted by Tom Brady's comments. Wow. So that's harsh.

0:42.9

This is spreading now in a way in which Tom Brady, maybe not on purpose, is really becoming a story of this supermoder.

0:44.6

Yeah, persona non grata from the Patriot standpoint.

0:47.5

I mean, they're not wrong.

0:49.5

You played for 20 years for this team, not quite, whatever.

0:52.1

You played forever for this team and won everything for this team. And they gave you your opportunity, the dream you lived, and you have no dog in the fight. You do have a dog. In the fight means you could care less. Yes. And that can't be the case with Tom Brady. It might be the case. Here's what I want to hear from. Why? I want to hear from Edelman and Groff. Why might it be the case?

1:44.3

I think that now maybe he's just so self-absorbed in owning a team in broadcasting that he just has detached himself emotionally from the team like the Patriots. I don't know. I'm trying to find a reason why you would feel that way. he is just so involved in all this other football stuff that doesn't involve the Patriots that maybe he just doesn't view it that way. I guess, but I don't. He's two for one. He's an owner of another team and the lead broadcaster on Fox. He's still playing forever for the Patriots. I know. I know. You're trying to defend him. I know. I don't know. You're trying to defend it.

1:45.2

I know.

1:45.5

I don't know why you're trying to defend it. Makes me laugh. I've grown to like Brady. It's not about liking him or dislike him, too. Yeah. It's not about liking him or disliking him. It's interesting that players, active players now pissed at him. Get me his friends. I want the circle. what does Edelman feel? What does Gronk feel?

2:01.6

Gronks already ripped to myself.

2:02.9

Oh, he did rid? Yeah, I want the circle. What does Edelman feel? What does Gronk feel?

2:01.6

Gronks already ripped him. I saw.

2:02.9

Oh, he did really? Yeah, I think everyone has.

2:04.3

Like every former play has been asked.

2:05.7

So how does that work? You rip him and then you call him on the side and be like, you know, I had to do this, right? Well, do people do that in this business? I have no idea. Sure they do.

2:13.2

I will get to the latest on a jet quarterback target who maybe we shouldn't want a target based on some new information.

2:20.1

But let's say call or two 8888.80. I will get to the latest on a jet quarterback target who maybe we shouldn't want a target
