Pardon the Interruption | Time for court storming to end! – Wilbon on Duke’s Filipowski hurt by fan

Pardon the Interruption | Time for court storming to end! – Wilbon on Duke’s Kyle Filipowski hurt by fan

Comes to me they love that you ought to quit right now done that’s something I if I walk out and I don’t have to do that that’s a win don’t you think that’s a big win you’re leaving so much on the table though so much yeah welcome to PTI

Boys and girls in today’s episode Wake Forest fans storm the court Steve Kerr agrees to an extension race ends in a photo finish but we begin today with Cody Bellinger signing a three-year $80 million contract to stay with the Chicago Cubs if there’s great comeback season when he batted 307 with 26 homers

97 RBI and 20 stolen bases Bellinger and his agent Scott Boris were looking for something longer and far more lucrative than this so wilbon what is this steel do for Bellinger the Cubs and the remaining Boris free agents well for two years at least if he’s there for the

Second year it gives him like $30 million in salary so let’s not we don’t need to you know set up a gofund me for Cody Bellinger just because he didn’t get 200 million all right so it’s a shorter term deal it’s a great deal for the Cubs Tony because Bellinger while he

Was great for us last season he had injuries before that and he was not great he had a couple of Seasons after that MVP year where you go wow is Bellinger on the decline is it just injuries healthy last year he was terrific kept the Cubs in contention

Until the final couple of weeks and the Cubs are hoping that with Bellinger in that lineup again and a year of EXP experience and acquired Savvy for that team and improvements along the roster that they can actually win the division so you need Cody Bellinger you need that

Bat that threat in the lineup I don’t know what it means for boris’s clients overall because they don’t have the same circumstances is Bellinger each one has different circumstances some coming off a better stretch of time than Cody Bellinger so I I I I’m not going to sit

Here and and try to be Tim kirken and tell you I know what’s going to happen in the market with the Bard’s clients but this is great news in Chicago yeah it’s a one-year deal Mike yeah Bellinger can opt out in either of the first two years of that contract

Nothing binds him to the Cubs at at all um I think it’s a great deal I mean he can go back into free agency at the end of you know October he can do that right I think it’s a great deal for the Cubs because at the very least they’re

Getting a guy at 28 years old in his prime for not a lot of money even if it’s only one year I think it’s less good for Bellinger it sort of feels to me like he caved a little bit he and Scott Boris were looking reportedly for between $150 and $200 million and

Something six years and up have I ever mentioned to you that Scott Boris could be the devil here’s the thing about Bellinger if he has a great year Mike he can go back into free agency and at 29 still be in his prime and probably get a long-term deal I think that people

Didn’t want to give it to him this this year because as you’re saying you don’t know if you can trust this year to be the start of a long-term thing it might have been a one-off after what had happened before but it seems to me it just leaves Bellinger sort of in a

Waiting room like at a doctor’s office I mean I again I don’t know you know it’s a pretty good doctor’s office if you’re making 30 million this year it’s okay you can sit and wait for the doctor at 30 million and pile up numbers at a guy

Like that with those numbers he could have gotten more in terms of boris’s other clients maybe they’ll opt to do the same thing and get out after one year although pitchers pitchers rarely do that so I don’t think they’re going to do that I mean longm for Bellinger I

I thought he’d get a better I thought he’d get a better deal I do I’m glad he got the deal he got Let’s Go Cubs let’s move to the court storming that led to Kyle filipowski injury Wake Forest fans stormed the court to celebrate to Demon Deacons narrow win over Duke at least

One made contact with the Duke star’s right leg and he was helped off the court eventually by a teammate and a team manager Duke head coach John Shire of course was Furious asking quote when are we going to ban Court storming close quote Tony is it time for this unbelievably stupid tradition to

Go oh it’s way past time it’s wild Behavior it’s dangerous Behavior I mean mean you really you really can’t have it I was I was thinking about this Mike when we were Sports riters and we covered games and we sat pretty low down you know when when we were near the

Court you didn’t have court storming because there was always security around Mike I mean we were looking at the back secure guards I’ll tell you about an exception well okay but in in my in my remembrance that’s what it was so I would say to schools if you think you

Have any chance to win it all and you always have a chance you know go get some security this is the second time in a couple of weeks we’ve seen a big star get Smash literally smash Caitlyn Clark and and Kyle filipowski like I don’t know that I agree with filipowski

Contention that he was targeted I’m not saying that but it is chaotic behavior and you have to threaten to take away the win or threaten to take away home games Mike just is an aside I don’t know how badly he’s hurt but if he lost the

NBA career he could sue Wake Forest for hundreds of millions of dollars and they would be liable because this would be lack of institutional control as the NCA and Tony there have to be institutional controls it doesn’t start with the school it can’t start with the school

The school has to enforce it because you’re at the school’s gym but Tony there’s no other opinion on this and I thank God you know Jay billis has been adamant about this as this network’s en llarge voice when it comes to college basketball and I I I applaud Jay I really meant to

Call him and say thank you this has to stop there’s no other opinion any other opinion is stupid and lazy and ignores the safety of the athletes and the fans I’ve heard people say oh they should just delay it 30 seconds and let the fans start fans have been hit by gold

Poost fans have trampled each other this is stupid it’s got to stop the NCAA moral at the top of the pyramid and the conferences the SEC has been actually the progressive leader in this by saying no you will be fine six figures make it seven yeah you got to have real security

Not people just you know working uh in retirement Who come out of their houses and stand with their with a blue jacket no security and they have to enforce it and the schools have to be on board and this is just another dumb thing that the

NCAA has let go and it cannot go on what do we have to see a kid being stretching off Marcus Spears when you say you need more security I was disappointed in the Wake ad was a really weak statement he didn’t even refer to filipowski by name

He called him the Duke student Duke that 10,000 miles for mentioning that come on him let’s go please let’s move to the NBA and the coaching Carousel no nobody got fired in fact Steve Cur extended his contract by two years so we’ll now be up

At the end of 2025 26 Season same time Steph Curry’s contract will be up willbon what does C’s two-year extension say about the Warriors plans to you it says let’s go dubs right now right now we’re not dealing with five years Steph Curry’s not leading the team to the

Championship at 40 but he can lead one now I mean look I know they lost to Denver yesterday in a terrific game but they’ve been hot enough eight out of 10 before that they’ve seen what they can do adjustments they can make changes they can make um kaminga being

Introduced into the lineup and being almost the star himself and Steve cerr actively is trying to handle all that and you do that with Steph Curry Steph Curry now to to me Tony one of the 10 great players of all times I don’t know what position he goes at I don’t

Care Steph Curry Steph Curry and Steve cerry go hand inand and they still go with Draymond Green and I hope with Klay Thompson in this new role him coming off the bench now you squeeze it now now the next two years that’s what you got Steph’s Steph’s not going to be Tom

Brady so so let’s get over that and let’s go for it and that’s what this contract extension says to me one of the great coaches of all time Steve Kerr so Steve ker now is the second highest paid coach in the NBA second only to Greg papovich this is for two

Years and $35 million awful lot of money coaching if you ask me what I read into it I read into it that after 2026 Steve Cur is going to leave the people that he came in with Klay Thompson and Steph Curry and Draymond Green will be not all

Of them will even well not all of them will even be there at that point and I think cerr by lining up with curry is suggesting that maybe the two of them could go out at the same time if you ask me the Warriors plans the Warriors would

Have Steve cerr forever he’s a great coach he’s got four championship rings he’s got he’s the Olympic coach he’s got champ ship rings as a player it’s airtight his resume is is absolutely airtight I mean I understand why they would want him but it does feel to me

Like he he’s signaling to the world I’m out after this I’m out well I don’t I don’t think it’s about the looking for out I think it’s looking at what we got the glass is is more than half full what we got and two years who the hell knows

It’s going to happen in two years I mean but you got now you got now in a tough western conference let’s go for it now a year and a half ago they won a championship that people didn’t think they would win and that season started

So let’s go for this and God if Steph Curry is healthy and out there Tony you got a chance you got a chance because he’s still one of the best players in the league and as I just said it to me one of the best players of greatest players of all

Time let’s take a break now coming up Shawn mcder says it’s a matter of when not if the bills when a Super Bowls he it’s time for a little Babble from the rabble that is a good phrase I wish I’d written that let me see what’s first

Here put the glasses on here we go Mike sha mcder says it’s a matter of when not if the Bills win a Super Bowl do you agree with that well he he he said some other things too to the to the athletic in an interview and Tony you know that’s

What he’s supposed to say what is he supposed to say uh you know we might kind of like to sort of get there no that’s that’s supposed to be the attitude of your leader and he he said some other things he acknowledged how hard it was he talked about sort of the

Obsessive Pursuit he might not have used the word obsessive I’m using that but he used the word Pursuit like following that ball carrier yes that’s what you’re supposed to feel if you’re a buffalo you are set up you have enough players to challenge and win can you get past

Kansas City maybe maybe not but that’s your mission is it automatic no ask Jim Kelly and Marv Levy and Thurman Thomas and you know Cornelius Bennett Bruce Smith ask those guys who were great not once not twice but four times great like six years that’s and so you know that’s

What he’s supposed to say good for him yeah I think it’s a matter of if sha mcder is there and they win the Super Bowl if I own the Buffalo Bills I would have hired bill bellich this year and I’m sort of surprised they didn’t do

That bill bich can close in the Super Bowl and this guy can’t you know and and I mean I’ll go further here there is no reason this is sort of what you’re saying there’s no reason to believe that Buffalo is demonstrably better than Kansas City no reason in that at all no

Josh Allen’s a very good player is he as good as Patrick Mahomes no he’s not because nobody is as good as Patrick Mahomes I can see Baltimore and Cincinnati and down the road Houston and maybe the Chargers winning a Super Bowl ahead of Buffalo the phrase that that he

Used was the Relentless Pursuit relent but as you’re suggesting that doesn’t guarantee a win yeah ask Marv Ley ask Bud Grant ask a lot of people that have gotten there and haven’t won and this guy hasn’t even gotten there yeah so but again the question is is do you agree

With his s that’s what I want to hear from him I don’t want to hear less than that from my head coach or then go get Bill bellich let’s get another one in here give you more to talk about could would you tell who won the Nascar race without

The replay Tony I’m going to have to answer honestly no and I just even we looked at it upstairs Matt Keller herd called this clip up for me and I thought the car on the left on the rail I thought that car it got to the Checker

Area first me too but not the yellow line first didn’t get to the ribbon as we would say for Carl Lewis and Ben Johnson and you know others um I no I got it wrong I’m looking at it in slow motion and got it wrong so thankfully

They know what they’re watching and they can watch it like a million times but what a finish when that’s like a movie finish so here’s the deal I could not tell who won without replay nor could I tell who won with replay like you I thought the inside car won and it turned

Out the outside car won these people are going 180 M an hour three a breast and they’re one inch apart they’re totally insane to do this I said this to you about the Daytona that whoever puts together the technology that shows you how this works in the Daytona you had a

Million different angles at every single crash it’s just remarkable technology I I still don’t know who won this race but I there have been horse races Mike there have been horse races that they call it dead heat well two usually they’ve called it Dead Heat because they think the horses

Are tired if they called this a dead heat I would have totally accepted it I would have accepted it yeah seemed that way to me car in the middle was a little bit back yeah enough female let’s take one last break still to come your boy Anthony Kim will apparently return to

Professional golf in the very near future real near like like day after tomorrow maybe lenel Messi and Jordy Alba creates something special for inter Miami don’t you miss the race you went to a couple of races as I did it’s incredibly fascinating it it it is I

Mean and all the nasar races seem to end happy time people at 21st birthday yesterday Brandon psky Warriors rookie is the answer to the tribia question who replaced Klay Thompson in the starting lineup after all those games and all those years psky was the 19th overall

Draft pick last year out of Santa Clara where he was the West Coast Conference co-player of the year he’s averaging 10 points six rebounds and four assists as the Warriors enter the transitional phase with their roster and try to remain contenders the next stall to be pushed back a bit will likely be

Draymond Green last will be Steph Curry this is the toughest part of coaching finding a graceful way to replace longtime Stars Tony I’d say that’s the second toughest thing the toughest is finding people to replace them and that’s what paj jimsky and kaminga they seem like they’re on the runway toward

Doing it my God they’re trying to replace people on one of the great teams in in the history of sports in America you don’t just do that but they’re they’re they’re doing it pretty well right now I like watching both of them happy Anniversary Pete Weber this

Is a PTI favorite on this day 12 years ago Weber won his record fifth US Open Bowling Championship breaking the tie with his father dick pet and Dick Weber had been tied at four since 2007 when we won the champ championship and because he was the last seed he had to climb the

Step ladder through the two and three seeds before the championship round which he won by one pin on a closing strike and when he won Weber declared vigorously and somewhat confusingly quote I did it that’s right I did it who Do You Think You Are I Am unquote I

Don’t know what he was talking about Tony I don’t know what we was talking about either it’s one of the great nonsense rants ever and he loves that we put this on I I did meet him at an event my own but Tony you ever go out and roll

199 on national TV I’m just asking no no did you uh I guess you did I did Happy Trails Peter King our friend the great football writer is retiring he’s simply not interested anymore in the day-to-day minutia of covering pro football he’s been a 40 Super Bowls in a

Row and this year he thought it might be nicer to watch it on TV we know Peter King well yes we do he’s been a guest on this high quality cable program many times he’s been a guest on my podcast many times nobody covered pro football better than Peter King he lost interest

In things other than training camp and games and he knew what that meant after Kansas City won the Super Bowl a year ago King asked Andy Reid if he was going to retire and Reed shot back are you king was thinking about it then he’s

Doing it now he’s only 66 and I can say only just as I can and say exactly what am I doing here Tony a little inside baseball so Peter King and I came up together we’re a year apart in age covering pro football yes I covered pro football for a long time Sports

Illustrated wanted both of us to leave what we were doing and come and cover Peter I think it was at Newsday I was at the Washington Post come and cover football for Sports Illustrated and a sage Mentor named Tony Kiser said to me you don’t leave where you are if they

Can make you happy so Peter left I didn’t and the rest as they say is history yeah Peter and I share the fact that we both worked at news day at one point the news day Al great at it he’s a great loved hanging out with him all day loved

It all of that is true and again what is also true only 66 come on what are you doing big finish here we go let’s do it the Red Wings forward your boy Patrick Kane scored the overtime game winner in his return to Chicago how did you feel
