Throwbacks with Matt Leinart & Jerry Ferrara

Everybody loves the 90s and we know exactly why. For this episode Matt and Jerry kick off a new series by diving into the best of the 90s as they try to figure out which decade wins a battle of the decades. For each decade they’ll pick from a host of categories: Favorite Athlete, Best Team, Best Musician, Favorite TV Show, Best Movies and even their crush of the decade, plus much more. The guys throw it back to everything, what it was like being a kid in the 90s, how big it was to finally get caller ID and online gaming, which actors killed it that decade and finally they pick an MVP for the entire decade. Plus, this week they take a look back at the legendary 1996 NBA Draft and try to decide what was the best draft of the decade as well.

It happened, the New York Knicks ended a 53-year championship drought and beat the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals. So, of course Jerry Ferrara had to celebrate and he could think of no other way than to call up his Knicks fan brother, Emmy-nominated Max Greenfield. Matt Leinart grilled the Knicks duo, asking if Jalen Brunson is now the best Knicks player of all-time, where this title ranks in their sports fandom and more. Plus, Max picks his five favorite moments from the championship run that will live on as Throwbacks in the years to come.

Knicks In The Finals, The Greatest Finals Shots Ever, Knicks Mount Rushmore And Which Sport Has The Best Championship 

 

EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara address the elephant in the room: Jerry’s Knicks are in the Finals! Matt asks Jerry what would a Knicks title mean to him as a fan before Jerry picks his Mount Rushmore of Knicks. Then Matt makes Jerry make a few tough decisions about what he would give up to see the Knicks win. Plus, the guys look back at some of the greatest Finals moments in NBA history and give their picks for the greatest shots of all-time.  

From there the guys decide which sport has the best championship, pay homage to the legend Clint Eastwood and look at the league altering Myles Garrett trade (and maybe Aaron Donald comeback) before Jerry makes his finals pick.

Chargers legend and former NFL sacks leader Shawne Merriman joins the show to talk all things Chargers and more from his playing career. From the infamous rookie dinner that cost him about the price of a car, to the amazing things he saw LaDainian Tomlinson do in practice, Lights Out covers it all. The former All-Pro talks about his go to move when rushing the QB, what he saw from Philip Rivers in college that made him hate him and what he saw in the NFL that made him love him. Finally, Shawne talks about his son, a blue chip QB prospect and what it was like to see him get a scholarship offer from his alma mater, and so much more.  

Plus, Jerry goes off about his New York Knicks making a trip to the NBA Finals, and in honor of Shawne the guys pick their Mount Rushmore of Freak Athletic Specimens, including the likes of Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James and more.

Entourage creator Doug Ellin makes his long-awaited debut on the show to address the elephant in the room: there is no way Turtle and Drama could have went to high school together. On the heels of what would have been Bob Saget’s 70th birthday, Doug talks with Matt Leinart and Jerry Ferrara about Bob’s epic run on the show, and the one plot point he pushed back on. Plus, Doug reveals the cameos they wanted for Entourage and never could make happen, plus his lists a few of his favorites who did make it on the show. Doug also discusses his podcast with Kevin Dillion and Kevin Connolly Victory The Podcast. And of course, Doug answers the million-dollar question: What’s up with an Entourage reboot?  

Then Matt and Jerry discuss the teammates and cast members they had the best chemistry with throughout their careers before picking their 3 favorite movie sequels ever.
