Gregg Popovich's media quotes are already in midseason form.

The latest victim of the San Antonio Spurs coach? Baseball.

The Kansas City Royals earned their World Series victory over the New York Mets on Sunday night in New York, where the Spurs faced the Knicks on Monday.

When asked whether he caught any of the Game 5 action during his pregame media meeting, Popovich did not mince words when noting that he did not.

"If it's nighttime, it's dinnertime. Dinner and wine. No baseball, no football, sports are boring," Popovich said, according to ESPN.

He was serious about it, too.

"I'm serious. You think I'm being funny," he said. "Why would I want to watch a baseball game when I could go to dinner and relax with friends and enjoy it?"

There you have it.
