Al & Jerry Get HEATED Over Jalen Brunson vs. Derek Jeter
Jalen Brunson winning a Knicks championship has turned celebration into a heated New York sports legacy debate.

Ken Davidoff (00:25:22) makes his debut on the podcast to promote his new book (with Harley A. Rotbart), 101 Lessons from the Dugout. Ken is a Michigan graduate and he and Steve talk a tad bit of college hockey while Ken mentions appearing on The Rich Eisen Show. Ken looks back on his time covering the Yankees and remembers the ACLS home run by David Justice, the wild moments during the 2001 World Series, and being there for the Derek Jeter flip play. Ken and Steve then get into the book. Ken explains how the project with Harley came together and discusses a few of the chapters and lessons that can be learned from the book. Steve starts the show with a packed First things First that includes the thrill of Italy winning the u17 Euros but the despair of not being a part of the World Cup.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber ride the chaos of Knicks Finals fever as the conversation jumps from Wemby's flagrant trouble to the real life complications of a potential championship celebration. Evan weighs ticket decisions, hedging, family plans, and the possibility that a Knicks parade could throw everything in New York into a frenzy. The Cinco sparks a heated debate over the greatest New York sports moments of Sean's lifetime, with the David Tyree catch, the Knicks comeback, Scott Norwood's wide right, and Derek Jeter's flip play all entering the conversation. The crew argues what makes a moment truly iconic, whether OG's game winner belongs near the top, and how much a championship would change the way this Knicks run is remembered.
Ken and Lima pay tribute to Joel Bitonio's retirement, with Ken making the case that the lack of a Super Bowl run is the main thing keeping him out of Canton since guards on championship teams always get more Hall of Fame consideration. The Guardians dropped another tough one to the Yankees 3-2, with Ken going off on the Jazz Chisholm hype and throwing in an all-time Derek Jeter is overrated take for good measure. Bottom line: Bitonio may never get the gold jacket, but Ken says that just makes him more of a Browns legend to keep for themselves.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima evaluate the controversy surrounding Brendan Sorsby and whether his polarizing image could benefit the Cleveland Browns in future drafts. They also discuss Joel Bitonio's career legacy and potential Hall of Fame status while offering a sharp critique of the New York Yankees and Derek Jeter. 01:55 - Quarterback Fan Treatment 05:30 - Brendan Sorsby Scandal 09:13 - College Boycott Debate 16:12 - Browns Quarterback Prospects 21:18 - NCAA Power Struggle 26:57 - Sorsby NFL Outlook 35:05 - Bitonio Retirement Legacy
In this extensive episode of the Off the Screen basketball podcast, hosts Jordon, Alejandro, Sid, and Michael engage in a passionate, long-form discussion centered around the massive cultural, economic, and analytical storm of the ongoing NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Michael kicks off the conversation by detailing his firsthand experiences on the ground in a completely transformed New York City, describing the atmosphere as mirroring a massive, city-wide New Year's Eve or Mardi Gras celebration on a standard Monday night. Watch parties are drawing tens of thousands of sports fans and casual viewers alike to public venues like Bryant Park and Central Park, demonstrating how a competitive Knicks team is actively uniting disparate communities across the five boroughs. This immense fandom has translated into an incredible economic windfall, generating an estimated $465 million in local economic activity, though the hosts lament the chaotic local side effects, such as crowded standing-room-only bars and hidden, inflated menu prices resulting in $20 margaritas.The defining spectacle of the series, however, remains the unprecedented logistical nightmare of a sitting U.S. President attending the Finals game at Madison Square Garden. The hosts break down the sheer operational madness this political visit imposed on Manhattan's infrastructure, which sits directly on top of the second busiest transit hub in North America. They discuss TSA-style street checkpoints, rigid bag bans, early building lockouts forcing workers to arrive hours ahead of schedule, and gridlock that completely paralyzed train routes and subway commuter lines connecting Jersey, Long Island, and the northern suburbs. While Sid considers the raw concept of a presidential appearance historic, Jordon brings up De'Aaron Fox's blunt remarks labeling the event a massive public inconvenience. The hosts also comment on courtside "Celebrity Row," highlighting appearances by prominent figures like Michael Bloomberg, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, and Spike Lee. They share a laugh over a viral moment where Kings guard Jose Alvarado accidentally crashed into billionaire Bloomberg, before pivoting to mock DJ Khaled for aggressively clout-chasing and staring at his mobile phone instead of watching the action.As the podcast shifts into structural hoops analytics, the conversation evolves into a heavy debate regarding high-stakes officiating and coaching philosophy. The group critiques the foul trouble that plagued high-leverage moments in Game 3, criticizing coaching staffs for overly resting star players due to early whistles instead of letting them play through physical defensive stands. They dissect a highly controversial, uncalled push by Victor Wembanyama on Jalen Brunson, noting how a lopsided free-throw margin in the second half ultimately swung the fourth-quarter momentum. Looking at organizational legacies, Jordon raises the stakes by arguing that Wembanyama's historic ceiling gives him a legitimate, long-term opportunity to rival or even eclipse Tim Duncan's legendary Spurs legacy, while also expressing confidence in young coach Mitch Johnson's ability to fill the massive footsteps left by Gregg Popovich. Concluding with concrete predictions, Alejandro admits he initially underestimated the Knicks' true postseason dominance. Ultimately, the crew identifies Karl-Anthony Towns playing at a clear Finals MVP level as the definitive game-changer of the series, before mapping out a final transit warning: Michael desperately hopes the series concludes before a potential Game 6, which directly conflicts with a massive World Cup soccer match (France vs. Senegal) at MetLife Stadium, threatening to completely shut down Penn Station and isolate the city.

We start with the Knicks' Game 3 loss at the Garden, snapping a 13-game win streak when they couldn't come back in the fourth quarter after leading at the half. Derek Jeter and Eli Manning were there, reminding us of our Friday parade talk and Gio's point that we've been spoiled. Jerry's first update brings the sounds of the first half ending with the Knicks up seven, right before Charles Barkley said "it's a wrap" at halftime. The Spurs talked confidence, Wemby scored 32 making us wonder if he's the new villain, and Knicks players reacted without panicking. Finally, the Yankees beat the Guardians in ten on Cody Bellinger's game-winning hit, and we take calls from Knicks fans on the loss.
Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle react to the fallout from the Knicks' Game 3 loss in the NBA Finals and debate whether New York fans are overreacting. Craig explains why he's still confident in the Knicks, calls Game 4 a toss-up, and hilariously blames Derek Jeter's courtside appearance for ending the team's winning streak.

Wrigleyville Nation's Podcast - Chicago Cubs Discussion, News, & More
Jeremy is out for this one, so Evan Altman of Cubs Insider steps from the guest chair into a hosting spot. Evan and Pat review the Cubs' road trip, from the season's nadir to beating Paul Skenes for a series split. Then they cover bright spots like Ben Brown, Ian Happ (who is a better hitter than Derek Jeter was), along with not-so-bright spots among the pitchers. The conversation turns to CBA negotiations and how both sides' opening salvos look. Neither initial offer appears to be amenable to the other side, but there's a long way to go. Finally, Pat completely stumps Evan with a lineup from 2005 that features some players who've been completely memory-holed.

If your child acts like every lesson is punishment, the problem is probably not laziness — and this episode shows you what is really going on.We are talking about how to motivate students not through pressure or entertainment, but through purpose and ownership. You will walk away with simple activities to try this week and a completely different way of looking at why your child resists learning in the first place.Homeschool moms who are exhausted from pushing, bribing, and wondering what is wrong with their kids will find this episode both relieving and practical. When you understand what actually drives motivation in a child, you stop fighting the resistance and start working with who your child really is.✅Why pressure and entertainment fail to produce lasting motivation✅1 question to ask after any lesson that opens up real conversation✅How one small choice completely shifts your child's attitude toward learning✅Why motivation grows from meaning, not rewards✅What it looks like when learning finally connects to real lifeGrab the free masterclass mentioned in this episode and start raising motivated, purpose-driven learners today.Resources for YouFree Masterclass: Four Steps to Raising Christian LeadersKnowing Rediscovered Course (coming this summer)The Missing Piece in Your Homeschool VisionShow Notes:Why Your Kids Resist Learning — And It's Not What You ThinkIf your child drags through school all day, resists every assignment, and acts like learning is punishment — that doesn't automatically mean you have a lazy child. Often the problem isn't laziness. It's a lack of purpose, a lack of ownership, and the feeling that they are just forced to learn these things. And that forcedness produces resistance.Meaningful learning produces engagement. Kids don't need more constant pressure to go learn something. What do they need? They need a reason to care.John Wesley Was the Fruit of Intentional ParentingLast week we talked about Susanna Wesley and her sons John and Charles. I want to look a little bit at the fruit of what we talked about. Homeschooling should look like it has some kind of purpose and intention besides checking off the boxes. This is not theory. We see so many stories in history that show the fruit.John Wesley is the fruit of Susanna's intention and purpose in raising her kids with a wide variety of types of education. He was shaped by a purposeful home. John Wesley grew up under Susanna Wesley's intentional instruction and discipline. The upbringing didn't simply train him to comply. It prepared him to think, to lead, and eventually shape others along the way. She prepared him spiritually, critically, academically — and he flew with it.How are you raising your kids? Do they see any purpose in what they're doing? Or are they just sitting there waiting for mom to tell them the next thing to do?Motivation Is Connected to Ownership, Not EntertainmentI believe motivation grows when a child knows that his life matters and his learning is going somewhere — instead of just doing something that someone told him to do. When a child feels like school is something being done to them, they're going to resist. They need to understand that learning is helping them grow into who God has made them to be.If you're multitasking, come back to me for this one. Motivation is often connected to ownership, not entertainment. We think if we entertain our kids enough in school, they'll be motivated. That's not right. If every lesson feels like busy work, don't be surprised when your kids tune you out. Kids will lean in when they see some meaning in their lessons and their studies.How to Start Connecting Learning to Real LifeI want to give you a little activity you can do this week. After your kids finish their schoolwork, ask each of them individually one simple question — why does this matter? Then zip your lips and listen. Don't turn it into a lecture. Use your two ears. Let it be a conversation.They may actually have a reason. Or they may not have a reason at all. That will be very eye-opening — to see whether your kids think their learning really matters and what they have to say about it.You want to start helping them connect their schoolwork to real life. My son Hunter was working on a paper and we were supposed to be studying Roman history. He didn't really care about history at the time. So the next day I said — what if we write it about Derek Jeter, the baseball player? Do you think he was motivated? You better believe it. He read the book. He was interested. Do you think he wrote a better paper? Yes. Why? He was motivated. He saw a purpose. He was interested in it.We also ended up doing the science of baseball — the math and science of it — because he loves sports. All of a sudden he's interested because he sees a purpose. It connects to real life.Give Your Kids One Small ChoiceLet your child make one small choice in their subject. Ownership can begin with something very small. Hunter was also into animals, and one year he wrote the ABC Jungle Book — every page had a jungle animal with that letter, a paragraph about it, and an illustration. That was motivating because he thought those jungle animals were really cool.You're not trying to overhaul everything overnight. I'm not telling you to do it all. Just pick one place where your child can make a choice about their school. One. And let them do it. Don't dictate. Don't tell them what to do. Let them learn their way. A little ownership in homeschooling is going to go a long way.Does it really matter what topic they pick for their writing? No. Maybe your child is into animals, or dance, or boats — whatever it is. Especially in elementary, let them go to the library and pick a topic and get some books about it. It's that simple.Traditional school trains children to wait for direction, and that produces compliance — but it does not produce motivation. We're not trying to raise kids who only work when someone is watching or when they get a reward. We want to raise kids who learn in all areas of life.What This Looks Like in Real LifeI've had to learn the hard way too. Many times I told Hunter — no, you're going to write on this, you're going to do this — and it didn't work. They were not motivated. So if you've been feeling like you need to push your kids harder to motivate them, you are not alone.Knowing how to motivate students starts with one simple shift — connecting their learning to purpose. That's where motivation begins to change. And that is a part of raising leaders, not followers.I'm hosting a free masterclass — Four Steps to Raising Christian Leaders — and we will be talking about this very topic, including connecting your child's learning to purpose. It's completely free. The link is in the show notes. I hope to see you there.

They need to know how to think and make decisions. A kid who can memorize facts but can't evaluate ideas is going to struggle in college, in work, and in life. Let's talk about a way to solve this problem today.What Are You Actually Training Your Kids For?I know you want the best for your kids. You want them to be prepared for the real world. You want them to have strong faith and discernment. But you're worried your kids may not be ready. You're tired of the idea that more school automatically means more success — that the more we do in school, the more successful they're going to be. These are myths.Your goal shouldn't just be that your kid can pass a test. A test just memorizes — it analyzes facts. For me, our goal was that our kids would follow Jesus, think clearly and biblically, and make wise decisions when we weren't around. We wanted to prepare them for real life.Schools teach answers. But leaders evaluate ideas. The problem is answers aren't enough. Schools teach to the test — it's the conveyor belt. Everyone does the same thing and gets a test to see if they've memorized all the answers. And it produces followers. Followers who just wait for direction. Followers who are waiting for approval or waiting for a worksheet to turn in.Thinkers and leaders — that's what I wanted for my kids. Not necessarily the president of the United States, but kids who lead in their own life, in their home, in their family. If your child has only been trained to fill in the blanks, don't be surprised when they struggle to take ownership and they're just waiting for someone to tell them what to do.So my question to you is — what are you training your children for?Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the Courage to Think for YourselfI want to share a story about a man named Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He was a German pastor and theologian during Nazi rule. The surrounding culture was demanding conformity, fear, and silence. But he refused to follow. He was going to stand for truth. He kept asking what was right before God — not what was safe or popular.Bonhoeffer did not let the culture tell him what was true. He was surrounded by pressure, but he chose his own conviction. That is what discernment looks like.I don't remember the entire story, but I think it's important that we raise our kids to not have blind compliance to what everyone's telling them to do — but the courage to stand for truth. Spiritually, yes, but also in what they're learning. The history books are being rewritten, and we need to have discernment to know what is truth and what is not.Kids learn in school that it's just about the right answer, not the right question. They're afraid to be wrong. Discernment is both spiritual and practical. And kids need to learn how to pause, reflect, and ask what matters — and make sure their thinking is biblically based.Susanna Wesley Raised ThinkersSusanna Wesley was the mother of John Wesley and Charles Wesley. She home educated her children in the 1600s and was known for setting aside time to teach each of her kids individually rather than just letting them drift. She emphasized spiritual formation, discipline, and thoughtful thinking. She would ask questions.John Wesley went on to start the Methodist church. Charles Wesley wrote somewhere between 6,500 and 9,000 hymns. I can't imagine writing a hymn — that takes a lot of thinking ability.Susanna Wesley's home became a place where children learned to think about God, truth, and obedience with purpose. She wasn't just managing a household. She was shaping her children in character and in thinking. She didn't raise them to comply. She trained them to think, to question, and to live under God's truth.Again — what are you training your kids for? Just to do what mom tells them to do? Or to think critically and biblically?The One Habit That Changes Everything: QuestionsOkay, how do you actually do this? It's really one habit that changes everything — questions. You can use questions in any subject area.When I started using questions, it helped me relax and not be so worried about a checklist. I didn't even need curriculum for every subject because we could read books and ask questions. When I was a school teacher, I was supposed to follow the curriculum and couldn't really veer off of it — and that didn't encourage thinking on the part of my students. When I started homeschooling and started using questions, it changed everything. I was much more relaxed and much more intentional. My kids could take ownership by following their interests.I remember Hunter was into sports, and we were studying Roman history — which he didn't love at the time. But he did love sports, so we let him write a paper on Derek Jeter, one of the greatest shortstops in baseball. He learned about baseball science, math, history — all of it. And you can always ask questions like — why does this matter? What am I missing? What does this tell me about God, people, or truth? Did this person act the way God would want them to act? Did they have honor? And then — now that you've done all this, what are we going to do with this information?How to Start Using Questions This WeekTake one subject you're doing this week. Instead of a worksheet, ask one question about that topic. Keep it simple. Don't overteach. Let the conversation do the work.And here's my trick — when you ask a question, do not answer your own question. Ask another question. You know what happens when there's quiet and you can't handle it? You give them the answer. And what are you training your kids to do? To wait until mom answers her own question, and then we can move on because I don't have to think.Allow some time for quiet and for them to think. If they don't know the answer, ask a different question until you can begin a conversation. This is not a system or a lot of extra things to do. It is a way of life.This is how I teach my grandkids. This is how I taught my kids — in science, literature, music, art, math, history, character building, even cleaning the house. Why do I have to do this? Well, why do you think you have to do this? Turn everything into a question and let them come up with the answers. It's not about your children having the right answer. It's about asking the right question.What This Produces in Your KidsImagine your kids as confident decision makers. Kids who recognize truth. Teenagers who can question lies because they've been thinking on their own. Young adults who know how to act without panicking. Faith that lasts beyond your home.One of my students, Tracy Smith, said it so well — I love the idea of getting off the conveyor belt. Our kids are not cookie cutters. They all have unique thoughts, ideas, and talents that God has given them. If they are not given the opportunity to explore those, their gifts and offerings to this world are stifled. We need to allow them the chance to come to their individual conclusions — and they will give the world something to think about instead of the world telling them what to think.Another student, Rose, said after taking our leadership course — this helped me see how I could teach my kids to think logically. She was encouraged by the real life stories she could relate to, and she said the methods were transformational.You are not alone. These are methods that work. They are real and you can achieve them.The two free tools from last week — the Read Aloud Magic e-book and the free notebooking pages — combined with this idea of questions are three tools that can help you raise your kids to think well and think on their own. Grab those links in the show notes.And stay close to my emails and this podcast because I've got a boot camp coming up that is going to show you how to implement all of this in a real homeschool life. I can't wait to share more details. If you want to get on the waitlist, the link is in the show notes.

It looks like you could say President Trump has made Venezuela great again as Salvador Perez and his teammates win their first every World Baseball Classic for their home country. It was a great tournament with a ton of twists and turns and it may just offer up a chance for our president to draw us even closer to Venezuela. Oh, and Salvy is on KC's Mount Rushmore of sports without a doubt. Paint a clown face on arrogant Derek Jeter who's trying to talk his way out of being a sloppy broadcaster. He should start by apologizing to MLB and our fair city. And we have quite a surprise today as we are in Surprise, AZ for a little spring training. My lifelong friend Rob Caldwell joins us to preview KU and MU in the Dance and gives you three top picks against the spread. Trust me, you don't know anyone with as much airplane time every week to study this stuff.

Jerry has the sounds including Derek Jeter's praise for the victors, followed by reactions to Jaylen Waddle's trade to the Broncos and the Knicks' victory over Indiana led by Josh Hart. Also, Mike Francesa gets confused about Joel Embiid as a college player. We also take calls regarding Team USA's loss, Aaron Judge's ability to win, and Mark DeRosa's management.
They Said it features Paul Skenes saying the World Baseball Classic is the "Heaviest Jersey" he has ever worn, while Derek Jeter doesn't think the World Baseball Classic doesn't come close to the World Series.
Wiggy and Greg hit their leads with Wiggy saying the Jaylen Waddle trade doesn't make A.J. Brown any cheaper, and Greg mentions that Shohei Ohtani will hit a new record with how much money he's making this year. They Said It features Derek Jeter saying the World Series is still bigger than the World Baseball Classic, Maxx Crosby shares his story on his situation when he was traded to Baltimore, and is Tom Brady going to be in the Olympics?
Sports and comedy are America's prisms for progress, allegedly. But this queer comedian from SEC football country can smell the lies. In the locker rooms of the NFL and the NBA.
