Podcasts about New York Knicks

Cinco de Luncho, sparked by the news that CC Sabathia's No. 52 is headed for Monument Park. The guys draft the next five New York athletes most likely to have their numbers retired, sparking debates across all four major sports. On the list: Carmelo Anthony's complicated Knicks legacy, Chris Kreider's Rangers records and playoff heroics, Jacob deGrom's emotional Mets case despite finishing elsewhere, and the glaring omission of Darrelle Revis — arguably the greatest Jet ever — whose No. 24 still isn't retired. Callers weigh in on whether team success should matter, how fan emotion shapes these decisions, and why some franchises move faster than others. The conversation expands into what makes a number-retirement truly meaningful, how rivalries and late-career moves affect legacies, and whether teams sometimes wait for the “right moment” to celebrate former stars. It's a passionate, cross-town debate to close the hour, mixing nostalgia, hot takes, and a little disbelief at who's still waiting for the call.

Jerry predicts that 2026 could be the best year in New York sports, citing championship potential for the Knicks, Mets, Yankees, and even a division title for the Giants. The optimism extends to the Islanders' postseason hopes. C-Lo's final update covers Giancarlo Stanton's delayed elbow surgery, Scott Boras' take on Hal Steinbrenner, and the Padres' update on Matt Waldron's medical procedure. Also, Shedeur Sanders' unique gift to Todd Monken and Moment of the Day with a Yankees trivia quiz, the show wraps with NFL Combine talk, potential picks for the Giants and Jets, and Boomer's concerns regarding Cam Skattebo.

Knicks, Mets, Yanks, Giants, Islanders - they all have a legit shot, says Jerry.

Hour 1: Loogy talks about his travel disaster coming back to New York after the Big Blizzard of 2026....And also stop panicking about the Knicks.

Hour 3: Tommy discusses Pete Alonso and the Orioles, Evan's disastrous hotel visit, and why the Knicks are the best team in the East.

The Knicks are confusing everyone right now — themselves included. One night they dominate, the next they vanish. In this episode, I break down the inconsistencies, who's underperforming, and why it might be more about the players than Coach Brown. Are they just coasting until the playoffs, or is there a bigger issue brewing? Let's unpack what's really happening with this team.InstagramXKnicksNation Shop

Listen without ads at www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast Dopeywood 2 tickets https://www.showclix.com/event/dopeywood-2026 Today on Dopey Wednesday! Dave (still shaking off a cold, snowed in on Long Island) pays tribute to Larry (“Crosstalk Larry”) — a beloved meeting  guy who recently passed away. Larry was a kind, positive soul who yelled “keep coming!” at every meeting's end, welcomed newcomers, collected the basket for personal contact, showed up in hospitals and court, attended three DopeyCons and the Margaret Cho show, and lost his son to murder years ago. Dave reflects on missing Larry's kind heart and vows to try to be kinder. Lots of Spotify Bob talk! The main talk is a powerful, emotional return with Kevin Jack McEnroe (author, former nightlife figure, son of Tatum O'Neal). Kevin opens up about his family's addiction legacy: Tatum's lifelong struggles (childhood coke from Ryan O'Neill, celebrity enabling, stroke/coma in 2020), Ryan's estrangement, Kevin's own heroin/coke/vodka spiral, liver failure, treatment, Suboxone, and the infamous Christmas visit where Tatum smoked weed in the hotel room while Kevin was newly sober. He shares the deck-the-halls-with-mom's-Suboxone story, codependency/survivor guilt, boundary-setting (“I can't keep convincing you to live”), and how the stroke/facility humility saved her life. Kevin reflects on being a bad liar, ring secrecy with Fern, Sergio the blind heroin dealer, and how recovery brought peace, blended-family wedding moments, and hope.  All that and MORE! on a brand new Wednesday episode of that good old Dopey Snow - i mean show.

We dive into a heated rant about the Giants' front office priorities, questioning why ownership is leaking PR spin to the New York Post to protect GM Joe Schoen's reputation instead of addressing much larger, real-world organizational controversies. On the Jets side of town, we take the temperature of the fanbase, debating if the head coach is already a lame duck and why settling for a veteran quarterback like Kirk Cousins might just be a frustrating "bridge to nowhere." We cap things off with a little cross-podcast banter and a quick hardwood update on the Knicks and Nets.

MLB's Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system is here, and after seeing it up close in spring training, Evan is fired up. What's supposed to make the game fairer is instead creating constant interruptions, delayed reactions to big moments, and a whole new layer of controversy. The biggest gripe? If the technology can get every call right instantly, why are players “challenging” pitches at all instead of just making the strike zone automatic? The guys break down the chaos of “infinite” successful challenges, why this could dominate the early weeks of the season, and how baseball may be overthinking a problem with a simple solution. Calls pour in comparing ABS to VAR in soccer, pitch framing, and even where an umpire should stand to get the best view of the zone. And because nothing stays on track for long, the conversation spirals into a hilarious hockey history mix-up involving Walter vs. Keith Tkachuk, an on-air apology challenge, locker-room prank stories, hotel room accusations, and a classic Cinco de la Show on the absolute worst parts of snow. A pure slice of late-winter sports talk chaos.

It was a loaded hour of basketball drama and sports philosophy. The Knicks' offense stalled again, Karl-Anthony Towns disappeared, and the finger-pointing is officially underway. Is it on KAT for not demanding the ball, on the coach for not forcing the issue, or on Jalen Brunson for slipping into hero ball instead of running the team? Plus, a major playoff wrinkle: Mitchell Robinson's impact raises a real question about whether the Knicks' starting lineup needs to change when games actually matter. Then the focus shifts to Cleveland, where the addition of James Harden suddenly has people rethinking the Eastern Conference hierarchy. Are the Cavaliers finally a legitimate threat, or is this just another chapter in Harden's long history of regular-season hype and postseason disappointment? Knicks fans weigh in on whether they fear Cleveland at all and how the East really stacks up right now. The conversation takes a surprising turn into a heated debate about legacy and loyalty: what matters more to athletes, winning for their country or winning for their franchise? With Olympic baseball on the horizon and the World Baseball Classic looming, the guys ask how New York would react if a star like Aaron Judge ever said a gold medal meant more than a World Series. The answer might not be pretty. From lineup decisions to contender credibility to the emotional divide between fans and players, this hour covers everything fueling the current sports conversation.

Karl-Anthony Towns showed he can dominate when he gets touches, so why did he nearly disappear when the game mattered most? The guys zero in on Jalen Brunson's shot-heavy “hero ball” night and debate whether a great scorer is failing to be a true floor general. If KAT isn't the type to demand the ball, is it on Brunson to make sure he eats? They also examine coaching accountability, why stars still need to be coached hard, and whether the Knicks' offense loses its identity when the ball stops moving. Plus, a key playoff question emerges: should Mitchell Robinson be starting for toughness and rebounding if the Knicks see Cleveland in a series?

Wes and Mo Dakhil discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers' win over the New York Knicks, Eastern and Western Conference playoff contenders, and whether they are buying the Detroit Pistons as a Finals threat. Then they whip around the Western Conference to discuss the Denver Nuggets' path to the Finals, the future of the Clippers and Jazz, and if Anthony Edwards can one day be the best player in the NBA. 00:00 Cavs vs Knicks & Eastern Conference Favorites 13:07 Buying/Selling the Pistons 37:21 Nuggets' best path to the Finals 44:26 Jazz's future 50:24 Clippers and Kawhi 55:20 Can Anthony Edwards be the best player in the NBA?

Plus, the Colts admit the pressure is real with Anthony Richardson. And back in New York, the Knicks get embarrassed in Cleveland, KAT disappears in the second half, Wally brings the heat, and everyone's left asking what's actually going on. Sprinkle in Dan Hurley's “adjustments are overrated” rant, St. John's chasing win No. 14, MLB's ABS challenge chaos, and yes, a bizarre fossil headline that somehow makes the show.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Wednesday. Munaf Manji returned with a solo edition of Catch That Ticket on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, keeping the focus strictly on the NBA while Uncle Dave enjoyed a day off on the golf course. The pod opened with momentum, as the duo improved to 4 and 0 on best bets for the week following a 2 and 0 sweep the previous night. Uncle Dave cashed Missouri plus 3.5 in an outright win over Tennessee, while Manji delivered with Paolo Banchero over on points, rebounds, and assists as Banchero poured in 36 points in Orlando's 110 to 109 victory over the Lakers. Manji briefly addressed listener feedback, thanking supporters for positive reviews while emphasizing that the core mission remains consistent, beating the books and putting money in listeners' pockets. Tuesday's NBA recap highlighted Cleveland's 109 to 94 win over the Knicks in a game that stayed under the total, Toronto's home loss to Oklahoma City despite key Thunder absences, Boston's 97 to 81 win over Phoenix without Jaylen Brown, and Orlando's road victory in Los Angeles. Looking ahead to Wednesday's slate, Manji broke down several back to back scenarios. Oklahoma City travels to Detroit after playing in Toronto, and the Thunder have struggled on the second leg of back to backs with a 1 and 8 record against the spread. Detroit, one of the league's top defensive teams with a 108.3 season long defensive rating and strong recent form, is positioned as a measuring stick opponent. With both teams ranking in the top five defensively over the last 10 games and playing at below average pace, Manji leaned under 219.5 in that matchup, while also favoring the Pistons minus 7.5. In Toronto, the Spurs visit the Raptors, who are also on a back to back. San Antonio enters healthy and playing balanced basketball, benefiting from multiple contributors alongside Wemby. With Toronto trending under in these spots and covering just 40 percent on the second leg of back to backs, Manji backed Spurs minus 7.5 and also targeted a Raptors team total under 110.5. In Houston, the Rockets host the Kings as heavy 13.5 point favorites. Sacramento snapped a 16 game losing streak but continues to struggle defensively, ranking near the bottom of the league. Houston has shown offensive efficiency against weaker defenses, and despite playing at a slow pace, has capitalized in favorable matchups. Rather than lay the large spread, Manji preferred the Rockets team total over 118.5. The marquee matchup features Boston in Denver, with the Nuggets laying 3.5 and a total of 229.5. Boston has been strong on back to backs, going 6 and 3 against the number and 7 and 2 to the under. Both teams rank first and second in offensive rating season long, yet play at slow pace, with Boston dead last in pace and Denver below league average. Manji projected a half court game and favored the under 229.5 while also leaning Nuggets minus 3.5 in a bounce back spot. He also noted Boston's resilience without Jayson Tatum, highlighting their depth and efficiency, and suggested the Celtics remain a team to monitor in futures markets. Manji closed by promoting discounted college basketball packages at pregame.com using promo code EAST25 and confirmed his best bet for the night as Rockets team total over 118.5, aiming to extend the podcast's winning streak to five straight.
