That's WFAN's thoughts, Evan Roberts, on our Pistons.

So I've offered it. I'm sure it'll get back to him. If he wants to put his money where his mouth is, we can do that. But like I said, I don't want to put terms out there. I don't want to cause a divorce of any kind when he owes me the money. No, I wouldn't be so chasty. The Pistons are real. and I'm not a Piston fans.

0:22.8

Don't lay that at my feet.

0:24.5

He's not... he owes me the money. No, I wouldn't be so chasty. The Pistons are real.

0:36.4

And I'm not a Piston fan, so don't lay that at my feet. He's not, and he's not a Nix fan. He's a Nets guy, which also explains a lot. So Nets Celtics got it. Yeah, well, that would not. Well, maybe we'll do one of those, you know how those, do those city bets. No, I just think... You bet something from Detroit that we'll send them if, you know, the Knicks win.

0:40.9

No. know how those do those city bets no i just i i just think something from detroit that if we'll send them if you know the nicks win no no no i'd

0:42.5

0:47.6

appropriate way to speak about the pistons and i'm gonna stand up for don't do that nice little

0:52.3

no no no don't do that i mean very condescending and it was so it was so. For no reason, by the way. And that's just it. It's unnecessary. Like, so you're, they're cute because they actually give a damn. They're cute because they actually try. They're cute because they take pride in their team in the name on the jersey of the city. So they have a superstar. that point, cuteness ends. Yeah. It's not like there's some try-hard team that doesn't have a star. Kate is really building himself into a top 20 guy in this league. He's on par or better than Brunson. And I love Brunson. I don't call him a flopper. I don't put that unethical scoring stuff at my feet.

1:29.5

No, he knows how to score. He's a dog. I love Jalen Brunson. Jaylen Brunson is a guy that, yeah, if you could, you want them on your team. You may talk trash about them, but you take them in a heartbeat. 248, 5, 3997.

David, what are the early returns here

1:44.0

as we have had a shot from the big apple about the Pistons by Evan Roberts of WFAN. I'm just saying I'm going to take up for the Pistons here, and I do. I think if they played the Knicks in the playoffs, they beat them. If the guy just said, I think the Pissons are good, not great, I can respect that. Calling them a good little team is so demeaning and false. Someone else says the Knicks are the most overrated franchise in all of sports. They won two championships in the early 70s, and that's it. I don't want to hear from this guy. Wow, I didn't know FAN had their own Jimmy cookies. Yikes, boys. Stick to talking about the dumpster fire football teams that you have there.

2:54.5

Hey, this guy, sorry, don't take this the wrong way. I'm just playing with you.
