Madison Square Garden -- Big Boss's Office
cameras clicking...
The Boss is giving his statements taking questions in his office this year. He leans back in a wide leather chair, three-piece suit working overtime, cigar glowing.
Big Boss: "Alright alright is that everyone, if its not I dont care, I'm starting. There is too many people in here so let's make this snappy. You want to know my thoughts on last season...? Well here ya go kids, sit down, listen up. This core of Moses, Bernard, and Johnny has been eletric. The Garden had never been this full cosistently. These boys are family, they put on a show every night and thats what we are looking for here. We had some holes on our roster that we attempted to patch but ultimately were too big to get past Milwaukee in the 2nd roung, our back to back champ, I mean fa getaboutit..they have had it clicking recently and hats off to em.
But ya next question is going to be about what I did about those holes in the roster. I gave our front office one objective, get Moses some help. Then the sons of guns brought me an opportunity that had me choking on my <expletive deleted> dinner. Excuse my language, but they told me my boy Buck was available. The same Buck I brought in as a boy and sent him off to become a man. Like an ex bird ya never fa get about ya know. Hated seeing the kid in Washington. So when they told me this, I said bring him home. Storybook stuff huh. Big splashes. Thats what New york does. So welcome home Buck, cant be more happy to put him on a roster we wished we had when we selected you years ago. Buck scaping boards with Moses and speading the floor for Bernard and Johnny is sight I have been dreaming of. Cant wait to see him on the floor with the other boys. OH HEY THERE HE IS NOW -- BUCKY BOYYY TELL EM WHAT YA THINK"
Buck: "Damn boss they dont have cameras like this in Washington, they dont got offices like this neither! No no, this is where I belong. So happy to be home. Back in the Gardan just hits different, and this roster is juiced. We about to have some fun."
Big boss: That's it..thats all that needs to be said. Thats what happend and that man is taking us where we're going. If you have questions make em quick, I got a table with the boys at Gio's.
