Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the after show decompression session, doing what they do best,
clapping their gums.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
A lovely day outside. Look at that beautiful day.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
In the neighbor.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
We do have a chance of some isolated thunderstorms time,
of course. You know why, because it's spring in North Texas, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Outside, of course, so naturally the forces of evil have
to ruin it for us.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
All. Okay, So Nico Harrison, what.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Are the forces of evil?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
What did you think of the press conference? I mean, finally,
he did that press conference last week behind closed doors
with only a select group of media.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
As you know, Nico, if you heard these earlier in
the show, you know that Nico kind of sounds like
I'm sorry. Yeah, you know he's not, but I'm sorry.
This is Nico Harrison talking about Luca. Okay, you ready,
here you go.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I didn't know that Luca was important to the to
the fan base.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Oh, yes you did, Yes, you did.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
You had to. I mean he was like given the
key of the city. He was named, like, you know,
Luca Day by the city of Dallas. How could you
not know how important he was to the fan base.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well, let him explain.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I didn't quite know it to the to what level.
But really the way we looked at it is, you know,
if you're putting on the if you're putting the team
on the floor, that's Kyrie, Clay, PJ, Anthony Davis and Lively.
We filled that's a championship caliber team and we would
have been winning at a high level and that would
have quieted some of the outrage. Uh and so unfortunately
(01:38):
we weren't able to do that. So it just continued to,
you know, go on and on.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Then the tone of his boy, I'm sorry, I found
myself wanting to throw things at the TV while he
was doing the press conference.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Now, this is what he says about defense wins championship.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Okay, defense wins championships, and we are hanging our hat
on defense. We're going to return one of the best
front lines in the NBA and we have one of
the deepest and the most versatile benches.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, you're pretty deep in bullshit, is what you are.
Let's continue.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The draft this year is extremely deep and we're excited
to play the role that we are. We'll see where
we go after the draft lottery, but we know we're
going to get a really good player and then we'll
also use free agency to kind of show up the
rest of the roster. With the support of the fans,
we are committed to coming back next year stronger than ever.
(02:35):
Every decision we make this year will be through the
lens of competing to win, and our goal is to
bring a championship back to Dallas.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Now dead. In the tone of his voice, I'm really sorry, y'all.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Well, it sounded like he was reading from a script
right there.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
It sure does.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Here are the talking points, Nico.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, okay, and I forget what this is. This is
why he shouldn't be why he shouldn't be fired, Because
everybody's screaming fire Nico, So why shouldn't you be fired?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
One?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I think I've done a really good job here.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I'm sorry, let's move on.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And I don't think I can be judged by the
injuries this year. You have to judge from totality from
beginning to end, and so when you made the bad deceision,
I think I have a really good working relationship with Patrick.
I think you had in Rick. The leadership that we
have is really elite, and you'll see next year when
(03:36):
our team comes back, we're going to be competing for
a championship.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, and I think you should be fired, but that's
just me. Then, of course, Sir Charles Barkley on NBA
on TNT, he had his take on mister Nico Nico Harrison.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I consider you a friend of mine. I wish you
nothing but the best. I thought you did a good
job last year with the MAVs and obviously whatever happened
this year didn't work out. Man, don't do no more
press conferences. I don't even know what you're doing. I
really don't like. I got sympathy and love for you,
but I have zero idea what you're trying to do.
(04:16):
This war is over, brother, you you you go to take,
you take in the l I hope you keep your job.
I hope that team get healthy. But man, don't do
any more interviews.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Please don't, please don't.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Charles. You know, and when I heard Nico Harrison was
going to give this press conference, I said, oh, please
let us get some audio.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, and he gave us plenty.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yes he did.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Now, hey, but hats off to him for actually getting
in front of the press and not doing that closed
door press.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
But he didn't take any questions from him. He didn't
know he did, Yes, he did.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
He took questions from all sorts of people, including like
social media reporters.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And tap danced his way around every single one of them.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, Terry Bishop is listening to us on the stream
and he says, Nico sounds like a guy that got
caught with his wiener stuck in his sister in law.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And didn't know it.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I'm sorry, I didn't know about that.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I absolutely loved Charles Barkley on the NBA on TNT.
But if you missed it yesterday, not only did you
miss hearing Charles Barkley's message to Nico, but you also
missed Shack like bolting from the studio because he had
to go to the restroom and he was like, when
you gotta go, you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
That's a.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
He said he had to use the restroom, and he
goes sorry about that, America. It reminded me of this
story that we did in Headlines from Hollywood about Jelly
Roll on the Jennifer Hudson Show and saying the most
thing that ever happened to him on stage. Yeah, he
had to go to the bathroom so bad and he
(06:05):
thought he was just gonna fart, but then he pooped
his pain.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Never trust a fart.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You got to learn that as you get older.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Wisdom of Bo Roberts. Never trust a fart.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well, that's just common sense.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
How Barkley said, take the l you guys familiar with
that term.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah, take the loss.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's right, l big l on your forehead, loser loss,
just admit it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Well, at least he had the balls to do a
press cone.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, and Charles Barkley also said, he goes. You know,
I was really impressed with what you did with the
Mavericks last season. What was different with last season.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
We had Luca. Uh, yeah, that was what was different. Yeah,
and that's where you screwed it all up.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
And Bo, how many years have fans been saying Luca
needs support around him? And then we ended up getting Kyrie, right,
But for years Luca held that team up.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
M hm.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
You know, he did such a great job and then
you're gonna go and throw him under the bus.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
He got us to the NBA Finals against the Celtics.
We didn't win, but we almost.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Got it, and he did great, even playing hurt last year.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
He did.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Anyways, I'm going to be buying one of those Laker jerseys.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I am too. I am too. I'm going to root
for the Lakers to win the title.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It is a sharp looking piece of dud, that's for sure.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Oklahoma City, man, they're doing great. Did you see what
they did to the Memphis Grizza the same score that
the MAVs and the Grizzlies had?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Ouch.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I can't help but think if maybe it's like that
scene in the movie The Babe. The Babe was on
his first team, Boston Red Sox, and then all of
a sudden they cut to the owner and he's got
gambling collectors coming after him, right, like, you owe us
a lot of money, and so secretly he sold the
Babe because he couldn't afford to keep him anymore. I
wonder if the MAVs are like in debt to the
(08:00):
point where Nico said, well, let's liquidate this big valuable asks.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
They're going to have to pay him. Yeah, he's got
a golden parachute, right, So Luca had his contract was
coming up, right, and they had to pay him. So
that's what a lot of people speculated, and other people
are speculating that the Addlsons want to tank the team
so that they can move it to Vegas. I mean,
there's a lot of conspiracy.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
All of them.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
All the rumors sound crap, they're all.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Bad, Miss Luca, but they all might have a little
bit of truth to.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Him, I know. And I hate that too, man, Damn well.
I don't know what it is with major sports teams
in Dallas and GM issues, but I mean it kind
of rings with what's going on with Jerry trying to
be the Cowboys GM.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Well, but he's been doing that for Is he really
not qualified though?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And is Nico really qualified? That's what I wonder.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I think the Cowboys, even though we still won a
Super Bowl without them, I think the Cowboys kind of
all started falling apart after Jimmy Johnson.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yes, yes, sir, you know now.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Barry Switzer inherited a great team, yeah, from Jimmy Johnson.
Everything that Jimmy Johnson put into play.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Well, that's that's what started the riff between Jerry and
Jimmy Johnson. Because Jerry was at a party saying that
anybody could have coached this team to a championship, and
it pissed Jimmy Johnson off. And do you blame him, No,
not at all, Jerry. You might want to think about
what you say before you spit the words out your mouth.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
One of the funniest things over the weekend that I
saw so Jason Kelcey and Travis kelce They have that podcast, right,
the Kelsey Brothers, And he started putting players NFL players
into like hogwarts houses like Gryffindor, and he called Jerry
Jones valdemort he who shall not be named. I thought
(09:58):
that was hysterical.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I guess Jerry just kind of shrugs it off because
he knows everybody is picking.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Off well because his team is the most profitable in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
And one of the shittiest too.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, but he's still making money, so what does he care.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
I guess that's it. As long as it's bringing in revenue.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
As long as those checks clear, I'm fine.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Right, I just sure would like to see the Cowboys
go back to the super Bowl at some point, well
before I die.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I wouldn't hold my breath for very long. I mean,
we'll see, we'll see. I remember those many Q one
two used to send us to all three Super bowl
They send us to all of them, and it was
a party. We've ruined brain cells. We'll never get back
but goddamn it was fun.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, you have that great jacket from the super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, And I'd always wanted to go to a super
Bowl ever since I was a kid, because I've seen
every single one man.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Whatever happened to those days, they.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Went by the wayside, the way of the Edsel.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's a very nice way to put it, Bo Roberts,
very kind of you.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
All right, Bo, all right, hey, let's go.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Let's have a nap.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I got ten thirty and eleven, y'all, let's do it
up tomorrow. We got a big stack of voicemails to
listen to you. I'll see you right now, all right,
we'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
We'll leave between the ditch. I'm sorry, I'm not fill
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
