  • 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: Solving Wembanyama
Q: What did you think about the NCAA decision on Sorsby and the subsequent ruling?
The host expressed strong opposition, arguing the ruling exposed corruption, questioned the integrity of the NCAA, and suggested the decision undermined the concept of fair play while enabling potential ongoing gambling influence.
Hour 2: Frank Isola
Q: What do you think is the biggest factor for the Knicks in the playoffs this year?
Brunson's performance and the supporting cast stepping up, especially on defense and interior rebounding, will determine their ability to close out tough series.
Hour 1: Jesse Rogers
Q: How would a cap be implemented—phased in, with exceptions, and grandfathering?
Jesse Rogers: It would likely be a phased-in approach over several years with allowances like Bird rights and occasional exemptions to protect star players and team competitiveness while moving toward a cap.
Hour 1: Jesse Rogers
Q: Do you believe there will be a work stoppage, given how far apart the proposals are?
Jesse Rogers: It feels likely there could be a lockout and perhaps missed games, because ownership seems dug in this time and is pushing for a hard cap structure.
Hour 2: Marv Albert and Mike Lupica
Q: What does Mike Lupica think about the Knicks' chances in the series?
Lupica believes the Knicks can win, emphasizes Brunson's pivotal role, and cites the team's cohesion and resilience as key advantages against a younger Spurs squad led by Wembanyama.
