(The Miami Heat won the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, 4 games to 1, by beating the NY Knicks 101-86.)

(Ralph is calling Mike Francesa on Mike's radio show: Mike's On.)

Mike: "We got a caller named Ralph from Brooklyn. Hello Ralph."

Ralph (over phone): "Hello Mike! How are you?"

Mike: "How are you?"

Ralph: "I just want to talk about how dissappointed I was with the Knicks last night."

Mike: "Well, you do realize that no NBA team in history has ever came back to wina series after losing the first three."

Ralph: "Yeah, but at least the Knicks got to play in front of a Miami audience which are the best in the world."

Mike: "Oh, come on. Wait a second. Wait a second. You are being ridiculous."

(Audience boos.)

Mike: "Have you ever seen a NY Knicks game at MSG? Have you ever seen a Miami crowd?"

Ralph: "Yeah, I have."

Mike (yelling): "THEN YOU CAN YOU SAY SUCH A STUPID THING?"

Ralph: "Listen, I know those Miami crowds well."

(Audience cheers.)

Mike (yells): "OH YOU DO? I SUPPOSE THAT YOU ARE A CELEBRITY."

Ralph (yells): "HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! I AM A KNICKS FAN AND I CALLED YOUR SHOW TO EXPRESS MY DISSAPOINTMENT. I DON'T LIKE THE HEAT BUT I WILL SAY THAT I LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY GET TO PLAY IN FRONT OF THE GREATEST AUDIENCES IN THE WORLD AND THEY PLAY IN AN ACTION CITY."

(Audience cheers.)

Mike (yells as he is trying to cut off his phone line): "YOU KNOW WHAT? GET LOST! GET LOST!"

Ralph (yells): "APOX ON YOU AND YOUR ANCESTORS."

(Jackie Gleason walks on stage. Audience applauds.)

Jackie: "Thank you. I meant what I said about Miami in that sketch. However, Mike Francesa has to leave to go back to New York."

(Audience cheers.)

Jackie: "I bet you listen to his show on the web. Good night everyone."

(Audience cheers.)
