Real quick, on the Nick front, you're going to be hearing the name Kevin Looney a lot in the next 24 hours.

**Craig Carton** (0:24)
Kevin Looney?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:25)
As a, he was with the Pelicans last year. They didn't pick up a team option on him. He's making 8 million bucks a year. He's 6'9, but he would be one of a couple guys.
That would be referenced as a backup to Carl Anthony Towns. Can't score a lick. All he does is get rebounds. I'm not saying you're going to get excited or moist about it, but don't sleep on the name. I know there's some reports out there already that the Knicks have started talking to Kevin Looney, so that might be a name that comes to the Garden here in the next 24 hours as well. Here's Otis in Middlesex County, New Jersey.
Otis, what's going on, buddy?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:59)
How you doing? Big Mac and Craig. Yes, sir.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:02)
When Otis sees us, he loves us.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:05)
Wait, that's correct. Animal House. They're going. But I'm going to be all over the place, by the way, because I love you guys, but you're just getting me pissed off. I'm driving home and I want to drive into a wall.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:16)
Yes, sir.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:17)
First of all, if I go all over the place, I apologize.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:20)
You're good.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:21)
But Craig, when you say nobody knows who Vincent Trojik is, Craig, why don't you say you don't know who Vincent Trojik is, but sports fans do and the Rangers are very relevant, and you have the first day of free agency, and you do it to the Rangers, you do it to the Nets and the Islanders, and the Devils, you know what? They have the core fans, not as much as the Nets and the Rangers, but even the Rangers are not fans.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:43)
They have no fans.
They have no fans. No one wants to hear talk about the Islanders, Nets, or the Rangers on the radio. I have 35 years of proof.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:52)
I disagree with you, by the way. That's fine.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:54)
To be honest with you, though, I thought when he said Krocheck, whatever it was, I thought he was the bad guy in a Denzel Washington movie, The Equalizer 2 What's wrong about that?
Maybe the Equalizer 1, actually.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:13)
Just to help you guys out, I know you can pay the millions to explore, but by the way, the guy's name is Kevon Looney, not Kevin Looney, by the way, to see if the next is going to get him, at least know his name, by the way.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:25)
I got the Looney part right, so I feel pretty good about that.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:28)
You got the Looney part right, yes. They call him the liberal, by the way, but either way.
Also, Big Mac, you were talking about Cone, and he said something like you can't swallow something he said. I don't think swallowing has ever been a problem for you.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:43)
You're not going to come out and take shots of my partner, even though he was a good one and he was funny, so I can allow it. I don't mind you being all over the place, but all you did was take shots. You loaded your 22 and you tried to unload it.
I can take that to a point, but I don't care for you.

**Craig Carton** (3:01)
I'm not that fond of him either. Be totally honest with you.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:05)
Crow check, whatever it is. Troll check, how do you say it?

**Craig Carton** (3:07)
He's in Troll check.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:08)
Is he good, this guy? He's good. Do you like him? He's been good for the Rangers. We got rid of him.

**Craig Carton** (3:12)
Yes.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:12)
I thought we just got a guy from Vegas. That was the same guy?

**Craig Carton** (3:15)
No, not the same guy. They traded away Vincent Chochek.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:18)
Wake me up next time during the playoffs. Here's JJ on the fan. Jay, how are you?

**Craig Carton** (3:23)
Get comfortable.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:25)
Hello, how are you doing? This is Jay Panelson, assistant of Missouri Police. Today, as a Yankee fan, I'm absolutely disgusted. As an officer of the law, I find Boone's decision making to be downright criminal.
