Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. NFL Free Agency Frenzy

[00:45-03:38]

• Biggest Moves:
  • Jets reacquire Geno Smith from the Raiders for a late-round pick swap.
  • Patriots sign Romeo Dobbs to replace the departed Stefon Diggs.
  • Lions bring in Isaiah Pacheco from the Chiefs to pair with Jameer Gibbs.
  • Bills retain Dawson Knox at tight end.
• Wilbon: The Patriots' addition of Dobbs is the standout move. He highlights Dobbs’ age (25) versus Diggs (32) and sees Dobbs as an “adult,” a near-perfect fit for New England, filling almost their only offensive weakness.
  • "I'm not going to try to turn this into Randy Moss in 2007...but come on now...that receiver spot...I'd say it's a perfect fit." ([01:59] Wilbon)
• Kornheiser: Focuses on Pacheco to Detroit, the closed running back circle, and muses on Geno Smith's checkered past—and the Jets’ self-destructive QB history.
  • Shares a stinging stat: "28 touchdown passes, 36 interceptions. That's too many interceptions," yet those 12 wins rank second among Jets QBs since 2013.
  • Wonders aloud: "I am still waiting though, Mike...I want to see Kyler Murray—where does he go? Where does Kirk Cousins go?" ([03:36] Tony)

2. NBA Showdown: Celtics at Spurs—Wembanyama’s Big Stage

[03:38-06:23]

• High Stakes Matchup:
  • Celtics (2nd, East: 43-21) vs Spurs (2nd, West: 47-17)—both are among the NBA’s hottest teams since Feb 1.
  • Both hosts are eager to see the tactical battle: how San Antonio will defend Jayson Tatum (just back from injury), and how Boston will handle Victor Wembanyama.
  • Wilbon: “I want to see how San Antonio defends Jayson Tatum, if they attack him...what are the Celtics going to do defensively against you know who—Wemby? ...he seems to add something every night.” ([04:12-05:28])
  • Kornheiser: Backs Wilbon and adds statistical context:
    • Spurs: best record since Feb 1; Celtics: best defense; both top in net rating.
    • Predicts: “I believe San Antonio will win this game...But if Boston were to win, it would be enormously impressive—even for a regular season game.” ([06:21] Tony)

---

3. World Baseball Classic: USA Over Mexico

[06:23-09:14]

• Team USA wins 5-3 behind Paul Skenes’ dominant mound work (4 innings, 7 Ks, 1 hit), Aaron Judge’s defensive play (threw out a runner at third), and home runs from Judge and Roman Anthony.
• Tony: Pinpoints Skenes’ performance as the key highlight and criticizes Mexico’s manager Benji Gil for not pulling a clearly hurt pitcher, which led directly to the US scoring spree:
  • “Judge, home run. Kyle Schwarber single...Roman Anthony, 417 ft. I don't think they should have left him in. That's my position.” ([07:59] Tony)
• Wilbon: Agrees and sees the moment Judge staked Team USA to a lead as a turning point:
  • “When Judge is going and he...hits it out like that and gives you...a 2-0 lead. Who's better than him? Yeah, except maybe Shohei...” ([09:04] Wilbon)

4. NBA Deep Dive with Kendrick Perkins

[11:15-17:03]

Victor Wembanyama’s Rapid Ascension

• Perkins’ bold valuation: “Spurs are going to have to pay him five year, $1 billion. That's how much he's worth...He’s improving every night...He has an old soul. He is ready to lead this...team and he's trying to go win a championship this year.” ([11:23] Perkins)
• Wilbon: “Every night seems to add something.”
• Perkins: Points to Wemby’s emotional drive and rare skills—pin downs, lob finishes, embracing physicality.

Are Regular Season Games Matter Now?

• Perkins: “The playoffs have started...” for both teams: Spurs want the #1 seed; Celtics must keep up with Jaylen Brown’s MVP push, particularly with SGA's MVP moment the night before.
• Hones in on individual duels, particularly Jaylen Brown vs. Spurs’ defensive ace Stephon Castle.

SGA’s Record-Tying Streak

• Wilbon: SGA ties Wilt with 126 consecutive 20+ point games.
• Perkins: “Anytime you break Wilt Chamberlain...that's enough said...What we’re witnessing from SGA is growth. When you go get your 30 and make guys around you better, that's what we're seeing.” ([14:40] Perkins)

Lou Dort’s Flagrant Foul on Jokic

• Perkins: Sees the budding Denver-OKC rivalry, notes that Dort’s toughness is an asset but warns: “You can't be available by doing dumb stuff...all it could take is one game...for you to be suspended...and you cost your team an entire series.” ([15:56-17:03] Perkins)

5. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Wilbon, on the Jets: “That's the team of your youth. They just embarrass themselves every time they do anything. So I'm skipping right over that.” ([01:20])
• Perkins, on Wemby: “I'm watching this young man cry after a regular season win because that’s how bad he wants it. That is scary.” ([11:23])
• Tony, on the 1969 Jets: “We kid the Jets. All the Jets have one highlight. This is the highlight. Namath doing this as he walks off the field. That's their only highlight. That was indeed the team of my youth.” ([22:31])

[A]

Shot clocks, big shots, upsets, aces. TGL playoffs are here. First, Atlanta drives, starts their repeat run against Los Angeles Golf Club. Then Rory's Boston Common golf and Tigers Jupiter Lynx face off in their playoff debuts. Who will advance? Keep up its playoffs. Tune in Tuesday, March 17th at 6:30pm and 9:00pm only on ESPN and the ESPN app.

[B]

Pardon me interruption, but I'm Mike Wilbon. My voice sounds terrible today, Tony, but I'm ready to play hurt.

[C]

I'm Tony Kornheiser. You sound like Yod.

[B]

Damn, I do.

[C]

Like Yoda.

[B]

Not Louis Armstrong. Not Satchmo.

[D]

No, Yoda.

[C]

Yoda, man. And I've been sneezing all day and I'd like to go lie down. So let's finish this show in a hurry.

[B]

Let's do this.

[C]

Welcome to pti, boys and girls. In today's episode, the Celtics meet the Spurs. USA beats Mexico in the World Baseball Classic. And Kendrick Perkins joins us for five good minutes. But we begin today with more player movement from the NFL. The jets new quarterback is their old quarterback as they landed Geno Smith and a seventh from the Raiders for a sixth. The Patriots got their replacement for Stefan Diggs in former Packer Romeo Dobbs. The Lions filled their need for a second running back by agreeing to terms with former chief Isaiah Pacheco. And the Bills held on to tight end Dawson Knox. Wilbon, which move stands out most to you?

[B]

Well, it won't be the jets and another quarterback. My God. It's just. I know you got to be tired. That's the team of your youth. They just embarrass themselves every time they do anything. So I'm skipping right over that. Tony, for me, this is really clear cut. It's Dobbs going to the Patriots. I mean Diggs. So Diggs is not there anymore. He's seven years older. Dobbs is 25. Diggs, I believe, is 32 years old. Dobbs is really productive. He can be even more productive for New England. We can be sort of a clear number one. And Tony, I'm not going to try to turn this in to Randy Moss in 2007. I'm not going to get carried away. Don't.

[D]

Don't.

[B]

I won't. I promise you, I won't. I'm not going to say you got mossed, but come on now. The Patriots are looking at very few areas of deficiency, if any, on the offense. They might want to tinker with their offensive line, but I'd say it's that receiver spot and to go. And he's been with The Packers. He's been with the organization where he knows what it means to be an adult. And so I think that's near a perfect fit for the Patriots.

[C]

Yeah, I'm interested in the Pacheco deal because Kansas City doesn't need him anymore because they picked up Kenneth Walker and David Montgomery was out of there already for the Lions. So now Pacheco gets to work with. Come on, who's the running back? Help me out here with Gibbs. With Gibbs, yeah. Jameer Gibbs. He gets to work with him, which is exactly what Montgomery did. So we have a circle that is unbroken. I have to talk about the team in my youth getting Geno Smith. He started there. He was a second round pick in 2013, 12 and 18, I believe as a quarterback. But this is a fabulous statistic. Two statistics are fabulous. 28 touchdown passes, 36 interceptions. That's too many interceptions. But those 12 wins that he has are tied for second most of a Jets quarterback in all those ensuing years because the jets destroy their quarterback. You know, and that's what I think is going to happen here. I am still waiting though, Mike. I got to be honest. I am still waiting. I want to see Kyler Murray. Where does he go? Because quarterback is the coin of the

[B]

got to have more he can be.

[C]

So where does he go and where does Kirk Cousins go? Where did they go? I'm waiting for that. Let's move to the NBA. In tonight's featured game, the Boston Celtics at San Antonio. Both teams were off last night and had time to think about this one. The Celtics are in second place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 43 21. The spurs are in second place in the Western Conference with a record of 47 17.

[B]

Oh, goodness.

[C]

The Celtics have won five of six and 14 of 17. And if you think that's good, and it is. The spurs have won nine of 10 and 15 of 16. Wilb on what intrigues you most about tonight's matchup.

[B]

My God, Tony, there's so many places you can start. I'm going to start with Jayson Tatum on the screen right there. And maybe having played two good games already, had a little practice time, some rest. If he's out there for any minutes, I want to see how San Antonio defends Jason Tatum. If they attack him, if they say we're putting the old playbook from the rest of the earlier this season away and we're dealing with you like you are first team all NBA. Jayson Tatum, not some dude coming off nine months off. So I'm interested to see how that happens and who they use in that way. And also, of course, what are the Celtics going to do defensively against you know who. Wemby. Because Tony.

[D]

Yeah, Wembanyama.

[B]

The more we go with Wembanyama this season and it may be he and Jaylen Brown that are out there leading the way. Sorry, sga. For the moment, we're going to concentrate on these other two dudes for mvp. When Banyama Toney every night seems to add something. Jaylen Brown doesn't need to add anything. He. He's got a ring. He's been great. You pointed this out. You were on this in November. I give you full credit. But I want to see Wim Banyama and what he, you know, he takes them seriously.

[C]

I don't want to track over everything you've said. I agree with all of it. I want to see how the spurs defend Tatum. If they get all over him because they think he's still shaky because he hasn't. He's only played two games. I want to see how they defend Jaylen Brown. I want to know if wembanyama is going to go out and chase Brown and Tatum on the three point line. I mean, because they could do that. And I want to see all that. I just want to get to a couple of things. Since February 1st, okay, the San Antonio spurs have the best record in all of basketball. The Celtics are second. Since February 1st, the Celtics have the best defense in all of basketball. San Antonio is second. And since February 1st, in something called net rating, San Antonio is one and Boston is too. I believe that San Antonio will win this game. I do. I think they're going to win this game. But if Boston were to win this game, it would be enormously impressive.

[B]

It'd be big.

[C]

Enormously impressive. Yeah.

[B]

Even for a regular season game, it would be impressive. And now to Team USA's 53 win over Mexico in the World Baseball Classic last night. American ace Paul Skin struck out seven over four scoreless. Aaron Judge gunned a runner down at third from right field when the game was scoreless. And then his home run along with Roman Anthony's three run shot provided all the offense the US Needed in one inning because Bobby Witt's slick play at short helped hold Mexico in check. Tony, the biggest highlight to you from last night was what?

[C]

Well, it's skeens. I mean, he went four innings. I thought he would go three and not four. He threw 60 pitches. He had seven strikeouts. He gave up one hit. That's what he gave up as one hit. The runner that you're talking about with Aaron Judge, they didn't allow a runner all the way to third because Aaron Judge cut down that run in the top of the third inning. And then they come back here. Look, the second highlight is what happened in the bottom of the third when the United States scored all the runs. And I have a bone to pick with the Mexico manager, Benji Gill, because in that inning, Bryce Harper hit a very hard line drive off the pitcher's foot.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

And then everybody goes out to the mound to see if the pitcher can pitch. And the pitcher convinces everybody, including the manager, that he can pitch. Here are the next five batters. Okay, Judge, home run. Kyle Schwaber single. Bregman strikes out. Cal Rawley hit by pitch. Roman Anthony, 417ft. So I don't think they should have left him in. That's my position. Should not have left them in.

[B]

Yeah. You know, when he got hit and it looked like it was right on the ankle or maybe an inch off of it. I'm thinking especially how you push off Tony with all the attention we've devoted the last few days and they've devoted to how to handle pitchers in this particular competition, I'm thinking, you know what, you might want to get him out here. And then that's what I thought the hit by pitch said to me, okay, we've seen enough, now go get him. So I thought sort of the game hung then in the balance. But you know what? Tony Judge, look, there's a lot of great players right now. There are a lot of great individual stars in baseball just across the country from New York to Seattle and certainly down to Los Angeles. And I can't wait to see more of Shohei in this tournament. But Tony Judge, when Judge is going and he gives you that kind of defense and hits it out like that and gives you a stakes your team to a 2, 0 lead. Who's better than him? Yeah, except maybe show. I mean, maybe.

[C]

Yeah. You have to talk about them together.

[B]

You do.

[C]

You cannot separate them. Let's take a break. Coming up, how should teams deal with Victor Wembanyama? We're going to ask Kendrick Perkins.

[B]

We'll also ask him about Lou Dort and his latest flagrant foul on the Joker. Stop fouling the Joker.

[C]

Jameer Gibbs. Tony, you had written that down. You should have known that he's a great running back.

[B]

Jameer Gibbs, I mean.

[C]

And that circle is now complete.

[B]

Now they have Tony backs again. I don't know if Pacheco's as tough as Montgomery. Montgomery's a tough dude, you know.

[C]

Well, they're trying for it. They're trying to just actually replace body for body.

Let's start with this. The Celtics and the spurs are going to play tonight. I got to go right to Victor Wembanyama because he is backing up all the hype. I accused Wilbon of slurping him for like a couple of years, but he's backing it up. It seems like he gets nothing but better all the time. You're a big man. You know that position. Where do you look at him and think he still needs work?

[D]

Well, let me add more to it, Tony. The San Antonio spurs are going to have to pay him five year, $1 billion. That's how much he's worth. He's that box office. Okay, that's number one. Number two, he's improving every single night. The only thing that I could see that could cause him problems is him being even killed through a seven game series. Not getting too high, not getting too low. But when it comes to checking all the boxes, he's doing that. He has found that balance of being able to mix it up for us. Being able to build force in the middle offensively and take you out on the perimeter is nothing that he can't do. I'm watching the 7, 5, 7677. However tall he is, come off a Pin down action. I'm watching him catch lobs and do freakish things with him just because he wants to show off. I'm watching this young man cry after a regular season win because that's how bad he wants it. That is scary. He has an old soul and I'm telling you right now, he is ready to lead this San Antonio spurs team and he's trying to go win a championship this year, not next year or the year after next. This year.

[B]

Spread this out for a second perk. After facing the spurs tonight, the Celtics have the Thunder on Thursday. I've sat with you for a million regular season games and you always tell me stay calm, stay calm. It's the regular season. Don't get carried away. Perk. We're at an interesting point of the season. How much do these games now count?

[D]

Well, the playoffs have started, especially when you look at the Spurs. The spurs are trying to get to that number one spot. The only thing that you could say that's wrong with them is that they don't have experience. So they want as many games as they possibly can on they home court. Now the Celtics on the other hand, yes, they have the most championship experience out of any team in the Eastern Conference. But I'm looking at Jaylen Brown after what SGA did last night, put on that MVP of performance against Jokic and the Nuggets, I'm looking at Jaylen Brown respond. The only way that he could respond to what SGA is doing since he's returned is by dominating these next two games and and keeping his name alive individually in the MVP conversation. That's what I'm looking forward to. And by the way, he's going to be matched up against a guy that caught, that gave K. Cunningham hell. That somewhat frustrated sga. And I'm talking about Stephon Castle, the other beast defensively for the San Antonio Spurs. So it's a lot of individual matchups, but it's also a lot of individual goals, especially with Jaylen Brown the that I'm looking into in these next two games.

[B]

I'm glad you mentioned SGA though, because he was so incredible last night in beating the Nuggets and he ties Wilt's record with his 126th consecutive game of 20 plus points perk. How significant is that specific record to you?

[D]

I mean, anytime you break Wilt Chamberlain, anytime you catch Wilt Chamberlain, that's enough said in itself, you know. You know, like I come on here, part of the PTI family and I'm coming on here with two legends, two greats, y' all make me better. We watched SGA yesterday make other guys around him better while still going get his 30 plus while hitting the game winning three point shot. Jalen Williams had 29, Isaiah Joe chipped in. All the guys were getting easy looks because of the attention and the growth of sga. Kevin Garnett told me some way long time ago when we was with the Celtics, he said, perk, I go home and I watch all these up and coming young superstars because I need to see growth. I said, what's growth to you? He said, when you able to go get your 30 and, and, and make guys around you better, where they finish with 20 and 15 because of your doing. That's what we're witnessing right now from sga.

[C]

We will get you out of here on this. Lou Dort flagrantly fouled Nikola Jokic again and then apologized to him after the game. What did you think of that foul and what did you think of the apology?

[D]

Well, look, one, I feel like this little Denver, Oklahoma City is becoming somewhat of a bit of a robbery, right? Like the getting into each other face. Did you see SGA emotions? Luke Dort is never gonna change, but that's who he is. He's a physical presence, he's an enforcer. He brings tenacity. And I knew he was gonna apologize because I played for that organization, right? And I did some crazy stuff while I was playing. I got ejected, I got flagrant files. And the next morning, you know what happened? You end up getting called to the principal office to, to principal Presti. And he ended up telling you some real stuff and telling you what this organization is about. Not trying to take away from what you bring, but trying to make sure that you keep the main thing. The main thing. Because one thing we know, in order for them to go and repeat, Lou Dort is going to have to be available. And you can't be available by doing dumb stuff. You got to be able to stay on the floor, stay in the moment. Because all it's going to take is, all it could take is one game for you to be suspended or ejected and you cost your team an entire series.

[C]

Yeah. As always, Perk, thanks so much for being with us.

[B]

Thank you.

[C]

Yeah, thank you.

[D]

Appreciate y' all, legends. Thank you.

[C]

Let's take one last break. Still to come, top ranked Duke deals with injuries to two key contributors.

[B]

As Kendrick Purpose would say, keep a cool booty. That's what Lou Dort better do now. And then, five conference championship games tonight could produce more March Madness. Keep a cool booty.

[C]

I thought it was a cheap shot. You didn't think it was a cheap shot.

[B]

Uh, yeah. But the apology. The apology is what sets it apart. Now how does Denver feel about that? That's what's worth asking going forward.

Happy time people. Happy 61st birthday. Rob Woodson, the great defensive back is in both the college and pro football halls of fame. Woodson was the 10th pick in the 1987 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers out of Purdue. In 1993, he was defensive player of the year. While with the Steelers. That season, Woodson had eight interceptions, including one for a touchdown and 95 tackles. In 2000, Woodson was part of the defense that propelled the Baltimore Ravens to a Super bowl win. Woodson played 17 NFL seasons for the Steelers, 49ers, Ravens and Raiders. He is third all time in interceptions with 71 and first all time in pick sixes with 12.

[B]

Tom when you talk about greatness in the secondary in Pittsburgh, I gotta start given my age with Mel Blunt, I do. But it's possible that Woodson, when you read his credentials, my God, he's. He's in the discussion for the goat not just of the Steelers secondary, but anybody secondary.

[C]

Yeah, but we're old and he's a kid to us and it's blunt for us. A not so happy anniversary Rudy Gobert. On this day six years ago, the Jazz center was ridiculing concern for the rapidly spreading coronavirus at a post shoot around session with the media, then deliberately touched every microphone and tape recorder in front of him like he was doing a comedy sketch. Two days later, Karma called. Gobert experienced flu like symptoms and was diagnosed with COVID the first NBA player to get it. Patient zero. The Jazz Thunder game was immediately canceled and within days the NBA shut down for months. Gobert is now with Minnesota averaging 11 points, 11.4 rebounds and he is shooting 70.8% from the field. He is a four time defense defensive player of the year.

[B]

He's having a great season, Tony. And you know, looking back on that six years ago, it was a symbolic beginning of COVID in sports because right after that it wasn't just the NBA, it was March Madness. It was, everything had to go away and you tie it to Rudy Gobert. I'm not sure that was fair, but that's what was.

[C]

Well, I think the behavior contributed to the tie.

[B]

No doubt.

[C]

Happy trails to two top contributors at Duke. The Blue Devils announced this morning that starting point guard Caleb Foster suffered a broken foot against North Carolina. He will be out indefinitely. Foster was averaging 8.5 points and three assists per game. Also out with a foot issue is the big man, Patrick Goongba, the second who will miss the ACC tournament. Gomba is averaging 11 points and six rebounds per game. Wilbourne, how big a deal are these injuries to the number one team in the nation?

[B]

Tony it may not be a big deal for the ACC tournament or the first weekend of March Madness, but you got some real threats out there even to Duke in Michigan and you know, you don't want to have to miss those guys. And it's too bad. They're injured and out for now.

[C]

And they melancholy trails to Matt Snell. The Ring of Honor jets running back passed away this morning at the age of 84 in Super Bowl 3. Snell rushed for 121 yards and scored New York's only touchdown in the jets upset win over the heavily favored Colts. Snell's performance was key to Joe Namath delivering on his legendary guarantee.

[B]

Tony, I couldn't separate as a youngster Snell and Boozer. I know you could because these were your guys. That was sort of like a thunder and lightning situation, wasn't it?

[C]

Yeah, yeah. Matt Snell was a power runner right up the middle and Emerson Boozer Would flare out to the side. Look, we kid the Jets. All of the jets have one highlight. This is the highlight. Namath doing this as he walks off the field. That's their only highlight. That was indeed the team of my youth. Just like the 69 Mets were the team of my youth. And the Knicks, you know, there's. Everybody's got one championship in them. That's all they got. Well, The Knicks had two, but it's been, I don't know, 50 years. So it is. It is with great fondness that I remember that jets team. With great fondness. Let's go to the big finish.

[B]

Let's do it.

[C]

The Pistons can snap their four game losing streak tonight at the Nets. Will they do it?

[B]

30. They'll do it. Red's ace Hunter Green needs surgery to remove bone chips from his pitching elbow. He's out until July. Tony, that's a huge deal.
