Summary

Larry Johnson showed no nostalgia for his famous 4-point ball when asked. The conversation shifted back to the Knicks' lack of identity and inconsistent play. Jerry's update included sound bites from Thibs and players, along with highlights from the Mets' win (Alonso homer) and the Yankees' victory (Rice homer, Rodon's strong outing). Boomer seems to believe the AL East race is "over." Terry Bradshaw reiterated his stance against Aaron Rodgers joining the Steelers for one year. The segment concluded with a humorous anecdote about Maggie Gray mistaking an impersonator for Sammy Hagar, and a caller suggesting the Knicks bring back Charles Oakley to change their "mojo."

0:38.7	money. One of the great memories in Nick's history, especially considering how bad they were

0:53.5	Wally Zurbiac, into the hands of someone who worked in the Tao Bob, into the hands of Wally Zerbiak, into the hands of someone who worked in the
0:57.0	Tau Suite, into a closet somewhere, and then disappeared.
1:01.2	So I thought maybe in the confusion, Larry Johnson ended up with the ball because the
1:07.7	directive was to get Larry that ball.
1:10.8	So maybe somebody heard that or while he said that to somebody,
