We announced our Kickoff To Summer at D'Jais in Belmar with a Chris Lane concert. Tonight is game one of Knicks/Celtics, and a caller predicted Villanova grit. They took more excited calls from Knicks fans and wondered where Al would take them to dinner. Boomer playfully called Pritchard a "sonofabitch" in a positive way. Jerry's update included Mike Tirico leaving the Kentucky Derby coverage due to a nut allergy, the Yankees losing another series to the Rays, Cody Bellinger's 200th HR, the Mets' doubleheader loss in St. Louis, SNL's jab at Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson, and Kenny Albert's call of the Jets' double-OT win against the Blues. The hour ended with calls from Knicks fans, one questioning why the Knicks aren't being given a chance.

On this Olympic-themed episode of the "'Cuse Conversations" podcast, Tirico talks about getting ready for the games, his sleep schedule while in Paris (it's rough), his commitment to helping our young broadcast students and, as a first-generation student who met and married his wife here, his love for Syracuse University.

Brent and Mike also dive into Tirico's thoughts on Syracuse University's hiring of Fran Brown and how that will help Syracuse stabilize football and remain an attractive commodity should conference realignment shift again. Tirico also discusses the fine line college athletics is walking in terms of NIL and payments to student-athletes and how Syracuse can maintain the feel of college athletics in an environment that is shifting more and more to a professional sports feel.

As the Olympic Winter Games of Beijing conclude, NBC put its efforts in perspective as it completed a second Olympics during the COVID-19 pandemic with teams in China and Stamford, Connecticut at NBC Sports Group's headquarters. NBC Olympics Executive Producer and President Molly Solomon breaks down the people, feeds, and miles it took to present nearly 3,000 hours of television. Host Mike Tirico explains the importance of his presence at the Opening Ceremony and describes living in the Beijing Bubble. NBC Sports Group Chairman Pete Bevacqua says the lack of fans in the grandstands has impacted live television across all sports. He also looks forward to the next three Olympic Games in France, Italy, and the United States while noting how the Tokyo and Beijing have dominated the media landscape, comparing ratings to that of Sunday Night Football, primetime TV's No. 1 show for 11 consecutive years.

Adam, Eric and I discuss: -A-Rod Cast -The passing of College Football Play-by-Play legend Ron Franklin -Sean Payton to broadcasting -Concert drowns out CBS halftime -Nantz, Tirico calling multiple events same week/weekend -Al Michaels last SB/SB 56 telecast critique -Mike Golic Jr out at ESPN Radio -And to celebrate legends while they are still with us, let's pay homage to the great Verne Lundquist

NBC-YA LATERhttps://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/nbc-ya-laterhttps://gorightnews.com/nbc-ya-later/https://rumble.com/vuvz2p-nbc-ya-later.htmlhttps://rumble.com/embed/vs9t07NBC announced, that prime-time host Mike Tirico was abruptly leaving Beijing and returning to the United States. Tirico was originally scheduled to return to cover the NFL Super Bowl.Why? NBC didn't reveal the reason for Tirico's departure but it comes after he twice called out the Chinese Communist regime during the opening ceremonies, saying:"The United States government is not here... citing China's human rights record and the US government's declaration that the Chinese Communist Party is guilty of committing genocide on the Uyghur Muslim population in Western Xinjiang region."He also reminded the audience that China was the “nation where Covid began.”Remember that Nancy Pelosi warned U.S. athletes to "not risk incurring the anger of the Chinese government because they are ruthless."I've been pretty vocal with you all about my opposition to our participation in the Genocide Games as well as NBC's choice to sponsor the games. But I give Tirico credit for speaking out against the murderous Chinese regime.[Source: Daily Caller, Waking Up Right newsletter]

On Sunday, February 13th, NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock will reach milestones with the presentation of Super Bowl 56 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. NBC Sports Group Chairman Pete Bevacqua explains.

Full Hour | In today's third hour Ian Smith, owner of the Atilis Gym, joins Dom Giordano Program to tell why he's decided to run for Congress against Andy Kim. First, Giordano contextualizes the Atilis Gym story, beginning two years ago when Smith and his co-owner protested after Governor Murphy forced the gym to shut down due to Coronavirus. After a handful of long legal battles, Smith tells that he's been driven to run to ensure that others don't face the kind of governmental overreach that he himself had to face. In addition, Smith tells whether he was encouraged by the win by Ed Durr against Steve Sweeney, and tells what he hopes to accomplish if elected to office. Then, Giordano moves into a discussion centered on China and the upcoming Beijing Olympics, playing back a clip from Mike Tirico's opening for the Olympics, in which the host takes aim at China's human rights violations, including the genocide of Uyghur's in Northern China. Also, Dom touches back upon the Biden presser yesterday in NYC addressing the spike in crime, and provides an update on the situation involving a transgendered swimmer at UPenn.
