Who do you agree with?

[@colinsushiboy2457]

Why you have this goon on your show? Colin H, you have yourself to blame

[@common101sense]

i don't even think Rapaport agrees with Rapaport.

[@hoyit]

There is nothing pleasant about Michael Rappaport.

[@hanneloreoma]

that was just great tv/radio!

[@GaryTurbo]

Kristie likes big Mike

[@cuzitsnecessary]

“I am Mr Charles and I Support This Message From Michael Rapaport”

[@savagetaestheticknight221]

😂😂😂 Mike Rapaport's love of New York gives me faith in humanity.

[@Markboi96]

Micheal Rapaport needs to be on the show at least 2wice a month! this is great

[@choppersman08]

D-vine 1 maybe 3 times a month lol

[@ImEmilyThorne]

Everyweek!

[@ariesblacc1]

D-vine 1 no he needs his own show/podcast

[@mmagik23]

Brandon Thompson he has a podcast

[@ariesblacc1]

Yea but it's only local it's hard to find I'd like him to be on a bigger media but I know he likes doing his fs1/espn hits because he does have to give time to movies

[@tbone5267]

Michael Rapaport & Bill Burr need their own sports talk debate show. I swear that would crush every other sports debate show out there, hands down. If any of the sports networks were smart they would make this happen asap!

[@1Learn2Swim3]

Lol they sound exactly alike too

[@creedbratton606]

And bring Joey diaz

[@waveali5620]

That would be excellent.

[@NelsonSwampWorldTour]

Michael was actually spitting facts; Colin was revealing his true inner privileged-White-boyness.

[@freerealmsspark343]

Brandon Bennett oh don't get all social justicy

[@kuur3137]

Brandon Bennett yup your absolutely right.

[@norubbergangraw8807]

Matt Jane nah he's right "New York is all Wall Street and tailored suits" that's how downtown is in every major city Collin has never been to a corner store buying 50 cent loosies and C&Cs not that there's anything wrong with that, just not his environment

[@Mistrinho]

Colin is British. What do you expect from him? It is in his blood.

[@freerealmsspark343]

#NoRubberGang RAW yeah it's it's not cuz he's white

[@Godzra321]

Rapp is such a gangster. Bring him back

[@_E1k]

holdmybeer lmao funniest comment ever

[@racentour5172]

holdmybeer U seen Higher Learning? That boy sniped Tyra Banks. 😂😂😂

[@dmorman88]

[@frankyokas9819]

Rapaport is hilarious!!!!

[@RamsonOpoku]

MIchael Preach onnnnn brother... Not a knick fan, but I am a bronx native,and he is dead on right about what Oakley being the face of New Yorkers.

[@LIBERALGUNSMOKER]

Daz if you paid to see a movie and your the owner of the theater sent security to remove you with no refund how would you respond? you have no clue what was being said, sure he could have handled it better I'm sure you overreacted in your life. And not just NY rappers rap about crimes, u must be a have had a sheltered life. FOH

[@gidgethrobowski3860]

Ram Martin Bro agree 100.

[@gidgethrobowski3860]

LIBERALGUNSMOKER Thx you. True da. They had no right to put their hands on him. Seems to me it was a set-up, as expressed by Mike there were better ways to handle the situation, they baited Oakley, knowing darn well how he'd react. In my opinion, they committed a tort of battery by touching him and intentionally embarrassing him in public.

[@chimiseduro9640]

Gidget Hrobowski Q

[@Ashcash95]

As a New Yorker from Brooklyn, Mike is 100% right about NY. I'm not saying we better than anyone but we are tough people just like people from Boston, Detroit, Houston, etc. Oak shouldn't have been so excessive but they treated a NYK legend like trash.

[@Hamburger247]

ashvanee prabhudial 💯

[@nmessai215]

NY isn't as blue collar as they used to be in the past like a city like Philly, Detroit

@@nmessai215 truth but NYC is hypocritically condescending to other cities outside of the east coast and mid Atlantic region

[@HiddenSoulsMusic]

I'm only watching this for Michael Rapaport.

[@truballa103]

Charles Oakley represents that train ride ... genius rapp much respect

[@raularosemena]

Knicks fan since 93. FREE THE OAK!

[@yvenersaint-cyr7074]

Growing playing basketball and watching..now I'm a grown man who played college basketball and coached high school..I am not a fan of the Knicks but I rather wear and buy a Charles Oakley jersey before a Carmelo Anthony's jersey any day of the year.

[@dillajoints433]

They need to have him on the show way more, I'm not not even from NY and this dude got me hyped

[@datni99any1]

LOOOOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!.. way to go Rapaport!!

[@jerrygibas6537]

The Oak is a legend. Knicks Security handled it poorly. Egged him on. He took the bait. Awful all Around

[@taia-b8f]

I love his passion!

[@bayarea510]

If Mike was from Boston, Colin would roll out a red carpet.

[@common101sense]

as he should

[@chaseparizek2052]

Boston > New York

[@nabeelzazaiantv4860]

I'm from Detroit, but I'll take New York over Boston. Diversity > Only White people.

[@chaseparizek2052]

Boston's population is about 53% white. New York's is about 45% white. I wouldn't say only white people live in Boston.

[@gidgethrobowski3860]

Jivan Zazaian Agree 100. Chicago in da house.

[@johcoh1]

I love Michael Rapaport! His NY passion is awesome.

[@thebklynprophet]

rappaport ate him up. you see he thinks Manhattan is only nyc

[@sugiloktzers213]

"Do you know what a hot dog stand is Colin?"- Michael 😂😂

[@cherylmurray7942]

I'm with Rapaport.

[@NBAkingsfan10]

Rapaport is the best!!!

[@gregorycornejo8925]

Oak gets a free pass for life.

[@vinnycicileo5985]

Get em rap

[@th3orist]

i can watch this over and over again, rapaport is such an entertaining guy, like a never ending source of funny sentences

[@LEBARRON2009]

..RAPP & OAKLEY ..ARE TRUE NEW YORKER'S TO THE CORE !!!

[@ricardodominguez2883]

Rapaport's knowledge of the game.. DAMN!

[@mandrickbrown435]

Anthony Mason is turning over in his grave.

[@DatOneGuy901]

i love Rapaport man..

[@retired5249]

I agree with Mike! 100%

[@marqueswilliams345]

Michael Rapport loves his New York Knicks gotta give him that

[@waderinga7662]

Free Oakley 😂😂😂😂

[@ndesa]

Never like Rapp before today. I am now a fan. NYC STAND UP!

[@Qichar]

Mr. Rapaport is hilarious!! I lived in New York City for 7 years and I have to agree with Mr. Rapaport to some degree. But in my time there, I came to realize there is no "average" New Yorker. One of the greatest things about that city is you can literally bump into people on the subway from all walks of life, any ethnicity, and with a story you wouldn't believe. Really great place, NYC.

[@Melbester9]

As a New Yorker, absolutely right. One of the best things about NYC is the diversity.

[@bayarea510]

Colin Loves Boston and discredits NYC as second class in sports. Then Colin loves to say Connecticut people know NYC and BOSTON just because its in New England. LOL Colin is such a fan boy

[@cityhawk]

The Swoosh With many franchises here in New York, they are second rate. Knicks, Jets, Islanders, and the Mets to a certain extent are not first rate franchises. Those four franchises have terrible management and even worse ownership. They love the idea of owning and running a franchise in New York, but aren't willing to put in the work to be perennial contenders. Plain, flat out, no plan, no vision, and worst of all no process.

[@cityhawk]

ReturnoftheBrotha Hartford is the cut off point. Anything south of Hartford is the NYC area, and anything north of Hartford is the Boston area.

[@SuperStrik9]

Bring back the Hartford Whalers!

[@angelacevedo6875]

Brass Bonanza! They should be allowed back not vegas.

[@leonidays898]

Colin Cowherd is 100% the establishment!! He nailed it.

[@mindyourbuisness8104]

Love Rapaport but New Yorkers talking about how tough New York is is always annoying

[@26Isoken]

Christian Highland So true. 5 boroughs, we're so tough..... Oh shut up New York.

[@NeoLegendX]

its just pride but you are tough if you stood by them and your franchise is out of 70 years of pro ball was good only 15

[@basketballgod9547]

Because its the Truth...

[@ornerydude]

you wouldn't get it

[@seymourbutts1584]

26Isoken you wouldn't last a week my dude

[@gadgetstalker2]

"Connecticut. That don't count!" hahaha. I laughed during this entire video.

[@balusindiancuisine]

Rappport ripped it!! Would love to listen to him speak more about the NBA

[@jl941-]

heard this already on undisputed

[@frederickjones6531]

I can't help it, but every time i see Michael Rapport I can't help but scream Remy! lol. Great interview by the way.

[@stopbeingakeyboardkillermo4112]

Colin is talking about the New New York, and Micheal is talking about the Old New York. BIG DIFFERENCE!

[@christopherreed46]

I agree with Mike! I'm a life long New Yorker and die hard Knicks fan!!! FREE Charles Oakley!!!

[@mandrickbrown435]

the Knicks need to hire Mark Jackson as the head coach get rid of Melo, Rose and Phil and stack as many draft picks as possible

[@keiferjanz3197]

Joey Barz needs to go to a small market team were the media isn't breathing fire down his back.

[@jefferymizell8063]

Mandrick Brown. That's a great possibility. After the fiasco with Oakley, plus the other in house problems, you have a valid suggestion.

[@keiferjanz3197]

Mandrick Brown yeah Melo is going to be hard to move. Picks will be hard to get in return and then you have Dolan that doesn't have the patience or the knowledge in owning a team to let a true proper rebuild take place. The last time NY was on the right path they traded away. all the young assists for melo when he was going to come in free agency anyways and the effects of that deal are still happening

[@yesyouarecorrectbut]

As a part of the deal, the Knicks will send Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and a 2014 first-round draft pick to the Nuggets, who would get additional picks and cash, the sources said. Along with Anthony, New York would get Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman from Denver. This trade wasnt that bad

[@keiferjanz3197]

OnceYouPop YouCantStop yeah it was when they could of waited for him to come in free agency. Billups was done, they gave up good young players in chandler and galinari. They gave up that first round pick then in win now mode the started trading all there first round picks in dumb trades like the baragini deal. If it wasn't for the NBA rule of not allowing teams to trade consecutive year picks the Knicks would have likely traded there 2015 draft pick as well and have no building block. The organization has been poorly ran for just about 20 years. Now they have washed up players on bad deals in Noah and Melo no trade clause and huge salary are going to make it difficult to tear down the roster and rebuild around Unicorn

[@DarKKnightt07]

Micheal Rapaport is so entertaining. The guy is full of energy.

[@timdodd89]

RAPAPORT is the truth!

[@JusNmyWORLD]

i swear you and dan patrick are the only reasons to have sports radio i love you guys

[@yoshinator15_]

Rapaport!!! Hilarious!!

[@ChessGainz]

Too bad the camera never showed Kristine from 9:51 to the end, sounded like she was dying of laughter

[@alves10best]

Max Farberov who cares

[@ReyMartinez1980]

Rapaport is Awesome. Coming from heart broken Knicks fan I feel all your pain.

[@kuur3137]

Rapaport is absolutely right. he's just loud that's why they don't take him seriously.

[@kofibabone725]

kuur 313 Pretty much.

[@AJWise]

Mike shoulda told Colin to go to uptown Harlem, the Bronx, or go to Brownsville Brooklyn or Southside queens.

[@ATL1995]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lovin’ this.... every time Micheal Rapaport is on, I already know it gonna be entertaining!

[@bayarea510]

Last thing I'll say. Somehow how, some way.... Colin thinks that Connecticut gives you the green light to claim Boston and New York hahaha. Thats like telling someone from Oklahoma to give me insight on Dallas. Or asking a kid from Vegas to tell me about LA

[@bayarea510]

ReturnoftheBrotha - Im just saying that its his go to excuse. Bristol is primarily what he refers to

[@ridiculousruke]

People from Oklahoma have pretty good insight on Dallas. They know it's better than anything they have. :)

[@LadyDuchess]

Folks in Newark NJ know about NYC just like folks in Stamford & Norwalk CT know about NYC. It's all #TriState, baby!

[@wigmaster7894]

i live in ct. there are equal NY and boston fans. its more boston the further east/north you go but there is still plenty of boston merchandise in SW ct

[@AirBuddDwyer]

@@bayarea510 Bristol to NY is a 2 hour drive. Bristol to Boston is a 2 hour and 10 minute drive. Connecticut is part of both New England and the Tri-State area. You can't necessarily "claim" either city as your own, but it's not as far off as a Vegas-LA comparison. Especially because there's a gradual cultural shift depending on which direction you go in CT (which is densely populated and pretty evenly distributed), whereas there's little more than desert from Vegas to LA pretty much until you hit Ontario, so therefore no connection to any nearby areas that might be more like that city than where you're from since almost no people live there.

[@kofibabone725]

Just disrespectful to Charles Oakley, period.

[@MawuliWare]

this is hilarious Rappaport is a straight fool! I agree with him

[@walterearl6456]

I'm loving it!!!!!!!

[@jjdraven]

Love how fired up Rap is.

[@osman4945]

Michael Rapaport will forever be Don Self to me .

[@TheHehe1223]

Michael Rapaport needs to be on the show more often.

[@kevc8786]

LMFAO IM FROM NY AND I LOVED THE FIRST 15 SECONDS MORE THAN ANYTHING

[@KP-05]

Damn Michael you caught me off guard with FACTS! this guy should be on this show or some show..i like his energy

[@kaib12345b]

You need him on more 😂👌🏾

[@ogchopp696]

Mike Rap I luv this dudes heart..

[@TheBizzyjay]

This video was everything

[@ronaldjackson567]

the best Michael Rapaport all the way

[@trevionsewell8955]

lol Michael needs to be a official sports analyst

[@mattcoffee1269]

If Michael had acted with that passion he would have been an A-list star haha. love his passion. And get off my Sonics Rappaport, had to leave at 4pm and get home at 1ish to catch a sonic game with the ferry rides, But Payton to Kemp for a Reign man throw down was all worth it!

[@tonyshlean]

To clarify for non NYers maybe "tough" is the wrong word (or maybe off putting) to describe it. cause there's soft ppl anywhere you go. but there's a grit or edge that you have or develop when you grow up here. or anywhere on earth where certain things aren't that easy or given. i understand how that can be obnoxious. but whatever.

[@magnusmagnusson8302]

They should have Mr. Rapaport on every tv show talking sports he is just incredible funny!"

[@eNVy_SiNz]

"He almost knocked him out with a finger mush".. Lmfaoooo! 😂😂😂 4:05

[@wrnr_mn]

Bout to go into this already knowing Rapp gonna go hard!!

[@ClearlySpeak]

Michael Rapaport is my hero!! Hail to New York!

[@josepharcher9620]

Right on Mike!!

[@SOULSafeProductionZ]

I love Mike Rappaport!

[@Cmcoluch]

My entire family is from New York but me I'm a Chicago kid so I feel the same exact way every knock fan does about the bulls.

[@DevilmanEX]

Preach Mike!

[@VeNumb_88]

For Colin to say Oakley was a "goon " He apparently opens his mouth on a topic he knows nothing about. If Colin had Oakley Heart maybe people would know who Colin is.

[@mary_luvs_moths]

FACTZ..he said "Goon" ...wonder what made him say Goon.im not implying anything..but a lot of words in their profession come way B4 goon..but we do use goon regularly in conversations daily ..but the subject matter.. far from theirs..

[@razkable]

oakley was known for jumpers and rebounds and grit screens double doubles ...very paul milsap joakim noah like .how is he a goon?...if hes referring to the heat series those brawls were about riley and the physical dirty plays and not backing down ...they weren't goons...chris dudley was a goon..Matt geiger..brian skinner ..corliss williamson ben wallace ron artest stephan jackson ...oakley was tough

[@Omegatruth1]

Rapaport is gold!!!

[@TheHehe1223]

“Shoutout to Bobby Womack” LMAO

[@stillmaticshay]

Mike is the truth, get him his own show..... IMMEDIATELY!!! Met him once in person, he keeps it 100%, been following him since Zebrahead. Stay turnt up Big Mike!

[@hoffnstuff8996]

Rapp with the shout out to the great Bobby Womack two times. So awesome in the middle of his romp.

[@dopefantastik1921]

Shout out Bobby Womack

[@trollmania8109]

Dope Fantastik facts

[@domingopena8227]

This was too funny😂

[@Cg-ru3eh]

Rapaport is so naturally funny

[@slickrick2392]

I love Rapaport; he speaks the truth. Oakley is a legion in NY and should of not been treated like that. James Dolan should be embarrass to say the least.

[@lesm3260]

Rapaport is a New York Knicks expert. And he was there so he know better than anyone else.

[@jesseavila8346]

preach Mike

[@batman7472]

Gotta love New Yorkers ❤️

[@mbeezy5859]

Keep reppin Remi!!!

[@Unc1ecee]

"There's a civil war going on within the NYK" lol

[@misters4022]

let him know rapaport

[@bonymac23]

when Michael rapaport argues....makes me feel proud to be a new yorker lol 💪💪

[@djodie222]

Rapaport is on FIRE!!!!!!

[@jonhuerta1217]

I agree with my Man C-Cow------ love your show..

[@laurenyun8294]

Love this guy. Brings fire to a boring show

[@Meatdevil]

Rapaport should change his last name to Rapasport. The man’s knowledge is on another level. And he is so quick witted. If someone told me I had to debate him I would run the opposite direction like Forrest Gump. I’m in awe of this dude.

[@sinclair1420]

could you imagine the NY Yankees doing that to Derek jeter at Yankee stadium ???? Yankee fans would probably boycott the Yankees !!!! knick fans need to let James Dolan know his handling of Oakley was WRONG !!!

[@Glock2201]

I don't think Jeter would ever behave like Oakley has so there would be no need to. Can't compare apples to oranges.

[@sinclair1420]

Glock2201 obviously you don't get the point !!! have a good day sir !!

[@Glock2201]

sinclair1420 What point? You don't have a point. For one Jeter was a much better baseball player than Oakley was a basketball player and Jeter would never behave like that.

[@captainpimp5237]

smh.. at glock2201 are you really that dumb?? and dont understand the point sinclair1420 has made ?? read his last sentence!! "knick fans need to let James Dolan know his handling of Oakley was WRONG !!!".. its not about who was a better player.. its about the handling of a"legend" no matter who he is ... Was Wrong.. smh..im convinced that most of you knuckle heads make comments on youtube without even thinking...

[@sinclair1420]

Glock2201 you are really the dumb one again for even responding again ..lmao.. no one said anything about excusing his behavior !! did I say that ??? NO !! again..you should READ .. before making statements... I said the handling of him was WRONG !! LMAO... READING IS FUNDAMENTAL !!
