  • Love the show Michael

    I honestly think that you’re better on your own than the old show with the other guys. Focuses on Sports, rather than all the other fluff

  • Best during the Yankee season.

    I miss the banter with the old show guys, Michael gets into these rabbit hole social media rants and the callers are unbearable but for Yankee stuff, it’s hard to beat Kay.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 2: Mark Cannizzaro
Q: Did Balogun deserve the red card, and how did the VAR decision affect the US's World Cup chances?
Cannizzaro and the hosts conveyed that Balogun did not deserve the red card, the VAR misused in slow motion review, and overturning the decision restored Balogun to play, improving the US's chances against Belgium.
Hour 1: Wayne Chrebet
Q: So Wayne, I'm going to start with a training camp related question because there's that famous story that when you showed up for your first training camp at the Jets, the security at Hofstra, right? Is that story accurate? How exactly did that play out back in the day?
Wayne confirms the initial security encounter and recalls how he navigated early doubts, eventually earning a spot and starting his NFL career, illustrating the perseverance of an undrafted player turned long-time contributor.
Hour 1: Rich Cimini and Jordan Raanan
Q: What are the Jets considering at pick number two and at 16?
Rich Cimini explains the Jets are eyeing a pass rusher, likely David Bailey or Marvin Reese, with Bailey offering a proven edge rush and Reese offering a higher ceiling but less production, and notes a possible trade-down scenario.
Hour 2: Stefan Bondy
Q: Alight, so let's talk about Brunson's offense for a moment. What trends did you notice in his performance and what should they do to free him up?
Bondy explains that Brunson has faced tougher defensive schemes and fatigue, suggesting they use off-ball movement and diversified looks to reduce energy drain and keep him fresh for late-game moments.
Hour 2: Ian Begley
Q: What is the Knicks' strategy with the second apron this off-season?
They are aiming to stay under the second apron to maximize roster flexibility, potentially trading or shedding salary to keep core players while remaining cap-efficient.
