- He was like, don't ever talk trash to Black Jesus. And that's when I stopped referring to him as Michael Jordan. And I always refer to him either as Jordan, Black Jesus, or That Black Cat. I never called him Michael Jordan again after that.
JARED QUAY: America had it's last dance with "The Last Dance," as the final two episodes of the Michael Jordan documentary aired last night on ESPN.
- So it's over?
- It's over.
JARED QUAY: In some ways, it was like the first four weeks. MJ played some cards. Bulls won another championship.
- Six.
- Six.
- Six [INAUDIBLE]. Six [INAUDIBLE]!
JARED QUAY: And Dennis Rodman went AWOL again, this time in the finals.
- So Dennis Rodman ran off after game three.
CARMEN ELECTRA: He took a detour from playing with the Bulls to become a wrestler.
HULK HOGAN: I just love the way you threw Malone around like a dishrag.
JARED QUAY: But we did learn one thing. Do not order pizza in Salt Lake City. Just don't do it.
- It's very rare that you get five delivery guys from, you know, the pizza place to bring you your pizza.
- I put this pizza down, and I said, I got a bad feeling about this.
MICHAEL JORDAN: I ate the pizza all by myself. Nobody else ate the pizza. I wake up about 2:30 throwing up left and right. So really wasn't the flu gave me. It was food poisoning.
JARED QUAY: First of all, don't eat anything delivered by five guys. Don't even answer the door. Just turn the lights off and call the police. Second of all, Utah mafia poisoned MJ, and he still played 44 minutes the next night. I mean, most players don't play 44 minutes healthy. Watching "The Last Dance" was a great distraction in a world with no sports. So maybe it's OK that it's finished, 'cause the last couple of days almost felt kind of normal.
There was soccer in Germany, where goals were celebrating at a socially-responsible distance. There was baseball in Korea, where the good news is, Preston Tucker won a car with this home run. But the bad news-- it was a white minivan. I mean, maybe that's hotness in Korea. I don't know. But you didn't need to go overseas to find sports, 'cause we had plenty here in America.
- America.
JARED QUAY: Not only was there UFC for the second weekend straight, but there was NASCAR--
- Whoo!
JARED QUAY: --where Kevin Harvick won the first Sprint Cup race in over two months. Hell, if you wanted to, you could even fell asleep watching golf. Rory winning a million dollars for charity wasn't exactly Tiger dominating Augusta.
RORY MCILROY: Whoo!
- There we go. Air five.
RORY MCILROY: Air five.
JARED QUAY: But if you ain't snoozing through golf, you just ain't living.
- America.
JARED QUAY: There was even football, kind of. There was a gamer named Joke that won the Madden NFL 20 Bowl without passing it once. Ran the ball every play with his fullback too. It was crazy.
RAIDEL BRITO: [INAUDIBLE]!
JARED QUAY: But we're going to leave you today with some tennis news-- and in my opinion, the best highlight of the weekend. Balls is life.
- You can kick their balls, but you can't touch them. To avoid conf-- [LAUGHS] to avoid confusion between whose balls are whose, you can use a marker, like a Sharpie, to mark out-- to put an X or put someone's initials on them. I'm going to blush, sorry.
