0:14.0

The Rich Eisen show and now sitting it for rich. Here's Brian Weber.

0:22.0

Rolling into our number two of the program with verbal pyrotechnics live on this fourth of July. Thanks for spending part of your holiday with us.

0:34.0

1-844-204 Rich is the number to call. Phone calls taken selectively that's your caveat. 1-844-2047-424 as always. Twitter is your best avenue. Yes, there's some teas in there. Twitter.

0:50.0

My favorite franchise and all of sports. The Tennessee Titans. I just wish that Jason Witton had landed there. That's BW Weber Weber with two B's. Rich, all four this week back with you tomorrow.

1:04.0

My good friend Dan Schwartzman will be in the chair tomorrow and then I'll chat with you on Wednesday. Getting back to the NBA, it dominated the first hour of the program.

1:13.0

But hopefully you've been with me every second of the way I do my best to be upfront. I'm not doing three hours of rank speculation as to where Kevin Durant is going to be playing this season because this is not NBA radio and because it's a holiday and because I have other interest strong opinions about other topics.

1:38.0

So the NBA is our primary motivation. I am not coming in and saying, you know, there is a three day cricket event. I want to break down in India. We'll get back to Durant and Kyrie momentarily, but for example, because nobody covers football better than Rich Eisen.

1:57.0

Rich Eisen, the original broadcaster and NFL network. I managed to last 10 months. Rich has been there since day one in 2003. Did you know there was a football champion crowned yesterday? Why do you think you're hearing all the fireworks in your neighborhood? The party continues.

2:19.0

Yes, it's a championship for Birmingham, not Birmingham in the UK. I'll give you some thoughts about the USFL. I'm not breaking down the game. I watched bits and pieces yesterday. At least there was a crowd because they moved it to the Hall of Fame setting in Kent, no, Ohio.

2:38.0

Can you imagine asking people to come out in the middle of a day in Birmingham in July, Birmingham. Thank you. I am not your British correspondent. I do so much tennis where I have to talk about Birmingham. It's just in my head. Remember, it's notting him. Notting him.

2:55.0

It would have been a billion degrees in Alabama. So they moved it wisely to can't know how it was still hot, but at least they had a decent crowd in 20 minutes. I'll just talk about the viability of spring football. Do we even need it? Because effectively the path to the draft has filled that void. Look, I'm old. I'm complaining about my sciatica. I'm having issues just hunching over the microphone to make sure I have the proper formatics here.

3:22.0

I love the USFL in 1982. I will be reminiscing about the officials in shorts and your Oakland invaders in 20 minutes. But since football dominates all of the conversation with apologies to the NBA, which is our primary component today. Do we even need a spring league anymore because the NFL consumes our attention year round.

3:48.0

And then coming up in 40 minutes, we're going to talk golf concisely in an entertaining fashion. Like a friend Robert Lucettich is a terrific golf author. He is the man who came up with the book. Unplayable, the definitive biography of Tiger Woods will get the latest on tigers. Come back. Open championship. Don't call the British open coming up next week and the live golf tour.

4:12.0

May their American debut over the weekend couldn't find it on your TV because they don't have a TV package. I was watching on YouTube live for some reason and they don't play Sundays. But it is intriguing to find out the unlimited dollars that the Saudis are going to continue to the vote to this sham of a tour in my opinion.

4:36.0

The full analysis coming up in 40 minutes just to make sure we don't pay attention to their blatant human rights violations as I get deep as a filling host on a holiday back to the NBA.

4:49.0

And however you view Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. And yes, I'm aware of Joey Chestnut. We will talk about the thrilling drama of the Coney Island hot dog eating competition in the final hour of the program. Hang with us. I don't want you flipping around ESPN has Wimbledon on. So if you're looking for it, it's buried on ESPN news with a replay coming up later today. But however you view Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

5:19.0

If you're a consumer of NBA content and I love the NBA as much as I love the NFL, I probably shouldn't say that too loudly. I love the NBA.

5:29.0

Because of the personalities because I think basketball in many ways is a superior sport. Just from a standpoint of aesthetics. Man, the big words are flowing on a holiday.

5:40.0

You go to a basketball game in person. Now I know it's become very pricey. But if you have a decent seat and you watch these dudes six, nine, getting up and down the court with grace and they're not wearing helmets. They're not wearing shoulder pads. You can hear them with the trash talk.

5:59.0

The NBA is a phenomenal experience. Plus to borrow from the great Dan Levittar to wear stugots when I need them. The NBA is fascinating because we focus more on the transaction than the action.

6:13.0

The NBA is always about what and snacks who's going where which free agents going to land and change the outlook of a franchise. And that's all we're doing with Durant and Kyrie.
