It's a Feel Good Summer Friday with Gio and Jerry, but seeing the rare magic of the Knicks' championship has only made Gio feel worse about the Mets' and Vikings' chances, while Jerry pegs a promising Giants team at 10 wins. C-Lo drops his first update starting with Josh Hart's pre-camp joke, Jerry recalls accidentally wiping out Sirius's entire system during training, and Chris McMonigle praises Yankees pitching. Plus, C-Lo doubts Aaron Judge returns this season—making Gio's home run bet a wash—and Clay Holmes faces the batter who injured him. Meanwhile, President Trump and Bryce Harper both mock the Mets, the Giants gear up for West Virginia training camp, Barstool struggles on Celebrity Family Feud, and the guys agree that Bon Jovi's 90-minute concert was actually the ideal length.
SNY's top 10 New York athletes list has Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber furious over rankings they believe are inconsistent, biased and impossible to defend. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, as they question how Brian Burns and Matthew Schaefer were left out while Josh Hart, Francisco Lindor and Breanna Stewart made the cut. Even OG Anunoby's placement above Karl-Anthony Towns comes under fire. The conversation then shifts to England's World Cup collapse against Argentina. Tiki explains how Thomas Tuchel's decision to sit back in a low defensive block gave Lionel Messi the space to take over, turning a one-goal lead into a prevent-defense disaster.
SNY's top 10 New York athletes list sends Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber into a full-blown revolt. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and while Jalen Brunson and Aaron Judge are accepted as the obvious top two, the rest of the rankings are ripped apart for their glaring inconsistencies. Brian Burns and Matthew Schaefer are labeled outrageous omissions, while the placements of Josh Hart, Francisco Lindor and Breanna Stewart turn the debate into an argument over performance, popularity and SNY's potential bias. Tiki also explains how England's prevent-style defense gave Lionel Messi the space to engineer Argentina's comeback, sparking a countdown of the worst coaching decisions in sports history. Plus, Shaun challenges soccer's mysterious stoppage-time clock, the show examines the Yankees' financial maneuvering, and callers weigh in on whether star power or actual performance should define New York's best athletes.

We dive right into the bizarre social media drama surrounding Mitchell Robinson, who is now a member of the Boston Celtics and is actively talking trash to both his new fan base and former Knicks teammates like Josh Hart. We debate whether his online antics are just tongue-in-cheek banter or a sign of real bitterness over the Knicks choosing to pay other players instead of him. After a wild detour into newly released UFO files, analyzing why an advanced alien species wouldn't bother invading Earth and debating the existence of wormholes, we hit the phones to tackle the state of modern baseball. We discuss the lack of player development in youth travel leagues and the strategic risks of locking up young stars like Ben Rice before they hit free agency. Finally, we confront the ultimate New York sports question: do we overreact to our teams' struggles, or was calling the Mets' season a disaster by April 20th just an unavoidable reality?
Tiki Barber and Evan Roberts discuss Mitchell Robinson's controversial social media interactions with Boston Celtics fans and former teammate Josh Hart. They explore the NBA's experimental free throw rules in the Summer League and investigate whether a Michael Kay rant cursed the New York Yankees. The conversation also covers the volatility of MLB relievers and Terrion Arnold's recent arrest. 01:50 - Robinson Social Media Feud 06:10 - UFO Pentagon Files Debate 10:25 - New York Sports Overreactions 16:02 - NBA Trade And Rules 23:15 - NFL Legal Issues Discussion 26:32 - Idiots With Idioms Segment 31:22 - Yankees Championship Feel Debate 37:04 - Cashman And Volpe Analysis
The Travelers outrated the Yankees/Red Sox on Sunday, which was still the most-watched Sunday Night Baseball game in 15 years. Looking ahead, Boomer thinks tonight's U.S. World Cup game will be the most-watched U.S. team game. Jerry returns for an update starting with the Mets shutting out the Blue Jays and the Yankees losing their sixth straight after a rough first inning from Cam Schlittler. Finally, a Guardians rookie outfielder mistakenly throws the ball into the stands with only two outs, Mike Brown discusses benching Josh Hart on the Roommates podcast, and Blake Griffin shares a story about a sports psychologist who called coach Doc Rivers to tell him everything they talked about.
Today we tackle massive NBA free agency shakeups as LeBron James exits LA, Kawhi Leonard heads back to Toronto, and Draymond Green opts out. Over on the diamond, the Mets rack up shutouts and hunt for a new manager while the Yankees slide, benches clear between the Red Sox and Nationals, and a Guardians rookie makes a hilarious viral blunder. Finally, we break down historic World Cup and baseball TV ratings, the Roommates podcast roasting Josh Hart, Blake Griffin's shocking sports psychologist betrayal, and a studio visit from Craig Carton to celebrate WFAN's 39th birthday.
We kick off with Knicks and World Cup auction items, before Dan in Carteret predicts a Yanks/Braves World Series after a Knicks/Spurs finals. Next, we note WFAN's 39th birthday and talk about the length of men's shorts. Jerry's final update shares the sound of a Guardians rookie outfielder throwing a ball into the stands with only two outs, followed by Mike Brown's appearance on the Roommates podcast where Jalen Brunson names Josh Hart the worst practice player. Finally, Jerry provides an unexpected pronunciation of "Mexico" for the Moment of the Day, and Craig Carton finishes the show in the studio talking about how good he is at golf.
Jerry's final update of the day has sounds of a Guardians rookie outfielder throwing a ball in the stands thinking it was 3 outs when it was only 2. The Roommates podcast had Mike Brown on and Jalen Brunson said Josh Hart was the worst practice player. The Moment of The Day: Jerry pronounces Mexico in a different way than expected.
Jerry touches on the Mets shutting out the Blue Jays. The Yankees lost their sixth straight as Cam Schlittler had a rough first inning. A Guardians rookie outfielder threw the ball into the stands thinking it was 3 outs but it was only 2. Mike Brown was on the Roommates podcast and they talked about him benching Josh Hart at one point. Plus, some World Cup stories.
We start with Landry Shamet re-signing with the Knicks and Mitchell Robinson likely leaving for more money, followed by LeBron trying to go to the Warriors, a move Gio thinks is pathetic. C-Lo is in for Jerry with his first update, starting with George Springer's ‘little league HR' against the Mets—who have now lost 9-of-10—and the Yankees losing their fifth straight during an offensive slump. Finally, we look at Ja Morant being traded to the Trailblazers and Josh Hart becoming eligible for an extension right now.
Seth and Sean get petty and hear others being petty in the PettyCast. Today they hear from Bill Simmons, Brandon Aiyuk, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Josh Hart, Emmanuel Acho, Johnny Manziel and Dolly Parton.
Evan, Tiki, and Shaun revisit WFAN's old Josh Hart takes and try to figure out what's going on with the Mets.

Something unusual happened across America's sports arenas this week — and almost nobody's covering it. UFC fighters quoted Scripture to Joe Rogan mid-octagon. A New York Knick dropped to his knees in worship before winning the franchise's first championship in 50 years. And a baseball player wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride Night hat — quietly reclaiming the rainbow's original biblical meaning in front of millions. Is this a coincidence? Or is something bigger shifting in the culture? Lance Wallnau breaks down the moments Christian athletes are making headlines — from the octagon to the court to the diamond — and why the mainstream media isn't sure what to do with any of it. Plus: Trump's 80th birthday at the White House, the NYC chaos after the Knicks title, Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire, and Lance's inside breakdown of why the Iran deal might actually hold. In this episode: * UFC fighters quote John 3:16 and John 10:10 live to Joe Rogan after their fights * Josh Hart leads the Knicks to their first NBA title in 50 years — and gives glory to God * NYC celebrates the championship by burning buses and racking up 63 arrests * A baseball player writes Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride hat — and calmly explains why * Trump's 80th birthday: 5,000 people, live fights, and a South Lawn lawsuit from the left * Elon Musk hits $1 trillion — and what it means for America vs. China * The Iran deal explained: how Trump controls their cash flow through Islamic banking networks If you've been waiting for Christians to show up in the arena — they already are.

Bomani Jones reacts to one of the wildest NBA playoff endings in recent memory as the New York Knicks storm back against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. After the Spurs dominated the first half and looked ready to take control of the series, everything fell apart late — from rushed shots and questionable coaching decisions to De'Aaron Fox's brutal second-half execution. Bomani breaks down why this collapse reminded him of infamous football meltdowns like the Houston Oilers blowing a 35-3 lead and the Atlanta Falcons' 28-3 Super Bowl disaster. He explains why San Antonio's inability to slow the game down, manage the clock, and protect a massive lead turned a dominant performance into an all-time choke. The conversation also gets into Wemby's missed free throws, OG Anunoby's incredible game-winning tip-in, Jalen Brunson's late-game shot-making, Josh Hart nearly becoming the story for the wrong reason, and why Madison Square Garden's nervous energy makes Knicks playoff games feel different. Bomani also questions whether the Knicks' comeback was more about their resilience or San Antonio completely losing control. Plus, Bomani discusses the NBA's ongoing officiating discourse, why ref talk takes over every playoff conversation, how social media fuels conspiracy theories, and what to expect in Game 5 as the Spurs try to avoid letting one loss beat them twice.
