Rangers? Optimism? for real, yes! At least so over the last week. 1 week of moves actually provides some critical optimism for Rangers fans and the organization. I discuss all the moves.The Rangers have been hard to watch, and not just because of the scoreboard. When a team feels like a “morgue” on game nights, that is a sign something bigger is broken, from roster construction to day to day culture. I dig into the New York Rangers offseason and talk honestly about how Chris Drury got the team into this mess, why so many fans have him at public enemy number one status, and what changed over the last week to create a real spark of hope.I start with the biggest swing: the trade for Pavel Dorofeyev and the massive seven year, $77 million extension. He is a 25 year old sniper with back to back 35 goal seasons, and that skill set fills an immediate scoring need on the wing. From there I hit the supporting moves, including middle 6 winger Oliver Bjorkstrand on a one year deal, Joe Vellino as a likely fourth line center, and the trade of Vincent Trochek to the Utah Mammoth. Losing Trochek hurts, especially on faceoffs and two way play, but the return brings real value with offensive defenseman Sean Derzi plus additional assets.Then I get into why the blue line could look completely different: Derzi's breakout passing, Marcus Peterson arriving for a future first, and how the defensive pairs finally start to make sense alongside Adam Fox. I also talk draft direction with No. 5 pick Albert Smits (D), the prospect watch around Liam Greentree, and the one move that makes me shake my head: the Joonas Korpisalo backup goalie contract. Finally, I discuss the off ice shift as James Dolan hands day to day operations to Quinton Dolan, and why leadership and culture changes might matter as much as any NHL trade.If you care about the Rangers rebuild versus retool debate, hit play, subscribe, and share the show with a friend.

Shaun is in for Tiki as Evan Roberts breaks down why Mitchell Robinson is no longer a Knick, arguing that the decision comes back to James Dolan and the second apron. The conversation digs into whether Dolan should have written the check, how much Mitch truly meant to the Knicks, and why fans can still appreciate him even after he lands with the Celtics. The hour also looks around the NBA as the Celtics move Jaylen Brown, the Sixers suddenly become a bigger threat, and the Nets face questions about their quiet offseason. Evan and Shaun take calls on the Knicks, Nets, Yankees, and Mets while mixing in plenty of detours, from Yankee Stadium parenting advice to a wild Paul Skenes trade idea.
Shaun is in for Tiki as Evan Roberts keeps digging into Mitchell Robinson's exit from the Knicks and what his message about the truth coming out might actually mean. The conversation returns to James Dolan, the second apron, and whether the Knicks simply chose not to make a real offer to a beloved piece of their championship team. Evan and Shaun also react to the stunning Jaylen Brown trade fallout, with the Celtics breaking up their core and the Sixers suddenly looking like the Knicks' biggest threat in the East. The callers bring the hour in several directions, from Mitch's value and Yankee Stadium advice for parents to a massive Mets trade idea for Paul Skenes.
Mitchell Robinson is no longer a Knick, pointing directly to James Dolan's stance on the second apron. The debate centers on whether the Knicks owner should have written the check to keep a key piece of a championship team together, or whether moving on from Mitch was the right basketball and financial call. Evan and Shaun weigh Robinson's impact, his free throw issues, his move to Boston, and how Knicks fans should react when he returns to Madison Square Garden. They also touch on the Nets' quiet offseason, Jaylen Brown trade hypotheticals, and whether Sean Marks missed a chance to make a bigger move.

Evan, Tiki, and Shaun discuss all of the reports surrounding the Knicks' spending plans for the 2026-27 season in the wake of their NBA Championship. Is James Dolan sabotaging them with his refusal to surpass the salary cap's second apron?
It's Friday, which means Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are back to clear the table on everything that didn't make it into Tuesday's show. Episode 138 of the Shoot Around goes hard on KD's revisionist history, the top NBA salaries heading into next season, and a rapid-fire rumor mill that covers LeBron, Ja Morant, the Knicks' title defense, and what San Antonio needs to stay dangerous. First up: Kevin Durant went on a Barstool podcast this week and tried to explain why he left OKC for Golden State back in 2016 — claiming the Warriors were basically underdogs when he showed up. The guys are not buying it. At all. Rob runs through the receipts: 73-9, the 67-win season before that, the title, the back-to-back three-point records. Big Shot Bob's verdict? KD just be talking. Then it's a quick trivia spin on the top 10 NBA salaries going into next year. Steph Curry sits at number one at $62.5 million — at 38 years old. The guys try to fill in the rest of the list: Jokic, Tatum, AD, Giannis, Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker, KAT, and Jimmy Butler round it out. Luka, for the record, is not on it. From there it's rumor mill time. Is Ja Morant actually movable, or does that $42 million contract scare everyone off? How long before LeBron makes a call — and does he go back to the Lakers, consider Cleveland, or is there an outside shot he links up with Giannis in Miami? The Knicks just won a title but James Dolan's already drawing a line at the second apron, which means Clarkson, Robinson, and Shamet are probably all walking. And San Antonio: what exactly do the Spurs spend their $44 million in cap space on to get back to where they were in the Finals? Harp floats Dwight Howard as a San Antonio option. Rob closes his laptop. The show pretty much ends itself from there. New episodes of the Shoot Around drop every Friday.

Today's Headlines: The Obama Presidential Center officially opened on the South Side of Chicago yesterday — a 19-acre campus with a museum, library, gardens, and a sledding hill — on Juneteenth, the same day Trump signed a worse version of Obama's Iran deal at Versailles, which is the kind of historic irony that writes itself. The Knicks held their ticker tape parade in downtown Manhattan to celebrate their first NBA championship in 53 years, Zohran Mamdani gave them the keys to the city, and Knicks owner James Dolan used his remarks to shade the mayor without naming him. JD Vance spent yesterday claiming Trump would rank at the top of an IQ test against all 45 previous presidents and telling Israel to "wake up and smell the reality" that Trump is their only ally left in the world, which is both a threat and an accurate description of what Trump's Iran deal accomplished. Ukraine hit a major Moscow oil refinery for the second time this week in one of its largest drone attacks of the war, with Zelensky saying the goal is to bring Putin back to the negotiating table and announcing G7 leaders — including the US — reached "unprecedented agreement" on additional air defense support for Ukraine. On the immigration beat, a Reuters analysis found that the death rate in ICE detention centers has more than doubled under Trump, from one death per 3,848 detainees historically to one per 1,630 since January, with 50 people dying from suicides, cardiovascular events, and untreated chronic conditions. The Trump administration quietly redirected $350 million from Secret Service training and recruitment funds to the White House ballroom-bunker, bringing its total projected cost to $600 million with taxpayers footing more than half — despite Trump's promise that he and donors would cover it entirely. And the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool, less than a week after its $14 million renovation, now has the worst algae levels in five years, and the hydrogen peroxide treatment meant to fix it caused the new paint to start peeling off in sheets.

The guys also dig into James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron and what they could mean for a championship team trying to run it back. Then Evan makes the case that critical comments from the Phillies broadcast about the Mets defense should be played in the locker room, hoping they can become the same kind of bulletin board material Philadelphia once used against Keith Hernandez.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber explore how the Knicks championship changes the mood around New York sports, especially as the Yankees continue to look like the best team in the American League. For fans still riding the high of a title, the pressure of baseball season may feel different now.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit an old debate over which New York team would deliver the city's next championship, and Evan has to own a very loud miss after laughing off Tiki's belief in the Knicks. With the city still buzzing from a title celebration, the conversation turns to parades, predictions, and what comes next for a team now facing championship expectations. The hour also dives into a new manager decision stat that has Aaron Boone ranked at the top of baseball, much to Big Mac's delight, while Carlos Mendoza lands in the middle of the pack. Plus, the guys debate James Dolan's comments about the second apron, roast the Nets through Cinco de Lunch, and wonder whether sharp criticism from the Phillies broadcast could become the Mets' newest source of motivation.

The Knicks are champions, the parade is over, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are ready to ask the question fans may not want to face yet: what comes next? James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron spark a passionate debate about whether a billionaire owner should ever say the check is too big when a championship window is open. Evan and Tiki break down the risks of running it back, the future decisions around Mitchell Robinson, Landry Shamet, Karl Anthony Towns, and Leon Rose's next moves. They also react to Knicks parade stories from fans, the debate over Mayor Mamdani's Knicks fandom, a classic Mets and Yankees crossover moment, and the turning point in the Yankees' loss to the White Sox.
The Knicks are NBA champions, the parade is over, and Evan & Tiki are finally ready to ask what comes next. Evan reacts to James Dolan's comments about the second apron and why Knicks fans should not want to hear a billionaire owner talk about a check being too big.

Plus, fans call in with parade stories, Evan investigates whether Mayor Mamdani is really a Knicks fan, the guys argue over which New York team could have the next massive parade, and the show gets into the Yankees' loss to the White Sox, Anthony Volpe's mistake, Aaron Boone analytics, Mets-Phillies drama, Francisco Lindor's return, Idiots with Idioms and some World Cup confusion.
The Knicks are champions, the parade glow is still fresh, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber begin the conversation every fan knew was coming: what happens next? James Dolan's comments about the NBA's second apron turn the celebration into a debate over money, flexibility, and how far an owner should go to protect a championship window. Evan pushes back on the idea that any New York owner should say a check is too big, while Tiki weighs the business reality of keeping a contender together.

A funny Knicks parade moment leads Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber into a classic New York sports crossover, with Evan revisiting his “Who Let the Dogs Out” line and why the song still hits a nerve for Mets fans. The conversation captures the odd mix of joy, rivalry, and old wounds that only a Knicks championship celebration could bring out. Evan and Tiki also dig into the speeches around the celebration, praising the delivery of the joke while questioning James Dolan's timing and tone. From Dolan's comments about the mayor to Charles Oakley's place in Knicks history and the debate over Mayor Mamdani's true fandom, the segment turns a parade recap into a bigger conversation about loyalty, politics, and New York sports identity.

It's a Mattjority Report Thursday on The Majority Report On today's program: Matt Binder guest hosts for Emma Vigeland who is partying in the streets of Manhattan at the Knicks parade. Before day drinking with Karl Anthony-Towns, Emma pretaped two interviews. First, she is joined by Ken Klippenstein, investigative journalist and publisher of KlipNews on Substack, for a conversation about the 15 anti-ICE activists arrested by the DOJ under NSPM-7. Then Emma is joined by Melat Kiros, candidate for Co-1 Congressional District. Kiros recently came under attack by the wealthiest man in Colorado over her attempt to host a campaign rally with Hasan Piker. This resulted in her having to change venues three-times and ultimately holding the rally on the steps of the state capitol without Piker. Donald Trump has changed his tune on Iran, now saying they have a right to defend themselves and is fine with them developing ballistic missiles. Clearly this move is motivated by his terrible polling as the man has no ideology just financial and egotistical interests. In the Fun Half: Knicks owner James Dolan says that he and his team have accepted an invitation to the White House. If this is true than they would be the first NBA team to visit the White House during either of Trump's terms.

Bomani Jones is joined by Dominique Foxworth for another episode of The Right Time, and they start with the massive NBA Finals ratings after the Knicks' championship run. Bomani and Dominique discuss why New York's title felt so big, how Jalen Brunson became a permanent New York legend, and why the biggest winner of the Knicks' championship might actually be James Dolan. Then, Bomani and Dominique get into the backlash around Victor Wembanyama after the Finals. Was Wemby really a “villain,” or are fans just looking for the next superstar to tear down?

Plus, Bomani shares what it was like watching Senegal vs. France in Harlem during the World Cup, the energy around soccer in New York City, and why the World Cup hits differently depending on which neighborhood you're in.
