Oh, you there? Who's your, who's your villain? Mike, what are you doing to me, man? You gone?

So think about Mike is that he had a villain and he held on the, the line for about 25 minutes.

And then, uh, and then decided to, uh, I think that, that thing that Comcast Sports now is doing is really cool.

I think the thing about Philadelphia is that what we don't, what, uh, it's, it's interesting because when you think about Philadelphia,

outside of Philadelphia, we often think of ourselves as everybody else's villain, right, where the nastiest fans and where the toughest place to play, uh, they said that in the, in the first episode of Philly

villains when they were talking about the vet turf. Look, our football stadium was a villain in and of itself. It wasn't just the turf. It was the, uh, the turf, of course, that injured people. It was the rats. I think there were cats in there. There was,

it was so nasty this stadium that, um, that we had to have a courtroom and a jail cell in the stadium. Our stadium was a villain to other teams.

It was the last place that anybody wanted to play was Philadelphia and most specifically veteran stadium. And then to think about who are that, who our villains are, who our enemies are is a whole different thing.

And I think the, I think it's really interesting to think about it. I think it's funny and very appropriate that so many of our villains worked for or own Philadelphia teams and they've had two of them so far.

They had a rich co-tight and Marshall said that Norman Bremen was one of the ones tonight. Norman Bremen was the most evil owner, I think, in the history of owners. I mean, the only thing and I, you know,

I think it was Leonard Toes that was going to move the Eagles, but the only thing that could be more evil than what Norman Bremen was was moving the team somewhere else was, you know, doing what the cults did or doing what the Rams did taking the team away, doing what, um,

who else moved doing those kinds of things, but, but Norman Bremen, it was almost more torture, having him, um, keep them here. So Jeffrey Lurie, every time you complain about Jeffrey Lurie and any time you talk about the gold standard sarcastically, just remember Norman Bremen. That's all. Just take a second, close your eyes and remember Norman Bremen. Mike, what's up, man?

Mike, I'm good, man. How are you? Great. I want to talk about my, what I think is probably the biggest silly villain in my mind, and that is Kobe Bryant. I think Kobe Bryant is the hugeest one in the city, just to get the fact that from here,

56th of town, back in the early days, you know, it doesn't really be part of the city. Fun fact, I heard recently, I don't know if it's true, maybe it's just federal.

Fun fact, yeah. That Kobe Bryant back in the day actually was going to go to the South. I've one of those choices. I don't know if that's true or not, because his dad was a four basketball player here, but ever since then,

everyone here in this area has given him a bad rap as well. Yeah, you know, Kobe Bryant is one of those guys that in town that either everybody rides his jock or you hate him. It's one of the two, and I really dislike Kobe Bryant.

And the reason I agree with you, and I think Kobe Bryant did the number one no no that you do to the city of Philadelphia, and I think turns people into huge villains. It's what Scott Roland did.

It's what JD Drew did. It's when you turn your back on the city of Philadelphia, when you're a player here, or when you're from here, and you decide that you would rather be somewhere else than here, and when Bryant does things like saying, he doesn't even consider himself a Philadelphia anymore. It makes me not like him.

I want them when he comes in here, I want them to beat him just about as bad as I want them to beat any any player at all.

Who would you rather than be in the shelter theme a heat team or the ball? You mean just just in any one game or in a playoff series? I'll put it this way.

There is nothing beating the Miami heat still is the crown that you want in the NBA. Nobody because the thing about beating the heat is that it's not just Philadelphia that celebrates the world celebrates with you when you beat the heat.

The heat are the world's enemy, and I know there's less for lack of a better word. There's less heat on them this year, but there is still that thing where when they come to town, they are the big bad wolf.
