Though the NBA Finals are (thankfully) long over, there’s\u00a0still some competition between Spurs <\/a>and\u00a0Knicks fans going around. On a recent episode of the No. 1 talk show in the U.S., a friendly back-and-forth took place between the hosts and a familiar TV personality here in San Antonio.<\/p>\n During the Finals, Daytime host Kimberly Crawford poked fun at Knicks fans in a video response\u00a0to the show’s affiliate – Live with Kelly and Mark<\/a>, hosted by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos in New York City. Showing the clip to the audience in a recent episode,\u00a0Consuelos said the duo’s San Antonio counterparts “talked a lot of smack” as the two teams faced off.<\/p>\n “Hey, listen, we love your confidence,” Crawford said. “We really do. It’s so bold of you, so New York. But here in San Antonio, we’ve seen a few things – for instance, winning actual championships within the last 50 years. I mean, when was the last time you guys won a championship?” Daytime DJ Xavier Garcia said,\u00a0“I think it was like when Nixon was president.”<\/p>\n Continuing, Crawford added, “Bless your hearts, it’s not gonna be Knicks in six, it’s gonna be Spurs in seven!”<\/p>\n Well, apparently people outside the South have begun to\u00a0catch on to the meaning of “bless your heart,”<\/a> because Conseulos said “Kimberly, we know what that means! …\u00a0That essentially means, you know, go blah blah blah.” Ripa chimed in, saying, “Is Kimberly looking for a fight?” Truthfully, that saying can mean a lot of things, but it looks like Ripa and Consuelos did catch on.<\/p>\n The hosts didn’t have a chance to respond to those fighting words before the Finals ended, but\u00a0Consuelos said they’re replying now. “I hope you’re convalescing in a nice way, licking your wounds, and we’ll see you next year. And Kimberly, bless your heart.”<\/p>\n Though the loss definitely stung, Crawford took the friendly jabs well. Commenting under a clip of the show, she wrote, “Well bless MY heart! Spurs prediction didn’t age well, but the ‘bless your heart’ was delivered with 100% Texas love.” Just like Wemby said<\/a>, basketball is just a game at the end of the day – and these TV personalities have shown how to do trash talk with class<\/a>.<\/p>\n Daytime is filmed here in San Antonio at FOX 29 KABB, but airs across the state on weekday mornings.<\/p>\n
