Hour 2: Larry David Talks Knicks-Spurs, Rich’s Top 5, plus NFL Insider Tom Pelissero
Larry David, the legendary comedian and creator of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' made a surprise appearance on The Rich Eisen Show to declare the New York Knicks' Game 4 NBA Finals comeback against the Spurs the greatest New York sports moment of all time—ranking it above iconic plays like Bucky Dent's home run and the David Tyree helmet catch. David, known for his perpetually pessimistic outlook, admitted he was stunned by the electric atmosphere in the arena, where fans were too emotionally overwhelmed to leave after the game. He also shared his frustration with an assistant coach's obstructive presence during the game, joking that the man's constant movement was as disruptive as a 'Curve episode.' Meanwhile, NFL insider Tom Pelissero broke down the latest on the Brandon Sorsby situation, arguing that despite the controversy, Sorsby has already faced significant consequences through lost endorsements and legal fees, and that his NFL draft stock remains high regardless of the appeal. Pelissero also analyzed the quarterback competition in Minnesota and Cleveland, suggesting Kyler Murray is likely to start for the Vikings but that the Browns may pivot to a new quarterback in 2027 after Deshaun Watson’s uncertain future. Rich Eisen then revealed his own top five New York sports moments, including Reggie Jackson’s three-home-run World Series game and Derek Jeter’s 2001 walk-off homer, cementing the emotional weight of sports in New York City’s cultural fabric.
Larry David ranks the Knicks' Game 4 comeback as the greatest New York sports moment ever, surpassing legends like Bucky Dent and the Tyree helmet catch.
David admitted he was emotionally overwhelmed in the arena, saying fans were too stunned to leave after the game—calling it a 'life and death' moment.
He criticized an assistant coach for blocking his view, calling it rude and 'a little showy,' and joked about tripping Wemby in the first half.
Tom Pelissero confirmed the NFL supplemental draft deadline is June 22, meaning Sorsby’s appeal won’t impact his eligibility for the 2027 draft.
Despite the controversy, Sorsby is still projected as a top-5 pick in 2027 due to his elite talent and the value of a redshirt year.
