State of the New York Knicks - Episode 359: A Historic All-Star DuoIn this episode of the State of the New York Knicks, we celebrate a groundbreaking achievement for Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, who have become the first starting duo of Knicks players to make the All-Star team together since Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe in 1975!
Michael Ray Richardson was a star in the making. After a stellar collegiate career at the University of Montana, where he was voted first team All-Big Sky Conference as a sophomore, junior, and senior, the future seemed bright. Taken fourth overall in the 1978 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, Richardson was billed as “the next Walt Frazier.” In just his second professional season, he became the third player in NBA history to lead the league in both assists and steals—both Knicks team records. Richardson would also notch four All-Star appearances and twice being named to the All-Defensive team over eight seasons between the Knicks, Golden State Warriors, and New Jersey Nets. But during that time, his time off the court was having a bigger impact on his career than what he was doing on the court. On February 25, 1986, after three violations of the league's drug policy, NBA commissioner David Stern would ban Richardson from continuing his professional career. His struggles with drugs and alcohol were well documented, and someone considered the next big thing became the first player in league history to be receive a lifetime ban. For most people, this would be the end to their story—one in which their substance abuse would take over and their downfall inevitable. However, that was not in the cards for Michael Ray Richardson. In Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption (Sports Publishing, 2024), Richardson opens up about his life both on and off the basketball court, discussing all the highs and lows that made him both a hero and a villain. Though being reinstated to the NBA in 1988, he would instead have stints in the United States Basketball League and CBA before taking his talents to Europe. With stints in Italy, Croatia, and France, he would lead his teams to numerous championships in his decade-plus overseas. Now back in the states and running youth basketball clinics, Banned is Richardson's first opportunity to open up about his life, showing that though you may get knocked down—even from self-inflicted actions—the only person that can count you out is yourself. With forewords from Hall of Famers George “The Iceman” Gervin and Nancy Lieberman, this is the story of the Michael Ray Richardson as only he can tell it. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won. His next book, a biography of Moses Malone will be published in 2025. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former NBA All-Star Michael Ray Richardson and his co-author Jacob Uitti (Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption) join the show to discuss Richardson's riveting new memoir that chronicles his extraordinary journey on and off the basketball court. Hailed as “the next Walt Frazier” coming out of the University of Montana as a first-round pick (fourth overall) in the 1978 NBA Draft, "Sugar" was a force to be reckoned with, leading the league in both assists and steals in just his second season - still New York Knicks team records to this day - and earning four All-Star appearances and two All-Defensive team honors. But behind the scenes, his career was overshadowed by personal struggles with drugs and alcohol, leading to a historic lifetime ban from the NBA in 1986 while a member of the New Jersey Nets. Richardson shares how he rebounded from that moment, finding redemption through subsequent stints as a player and coach in places like the CBA (Albany Patroons, Oklahoma Cavalry); USBL (Long Island Knights); Premiere Basketball League; and a prolific 14-year professional league run in Europe, where he guided teams to championships and redefined his legacy. Now running youth basketball clinics and reflecting on his journey, Richardson proves that resilience and accountability can turn even the darkest chapters into a comeback story.

Take that Walt Frazier. Darius Garland puts Cleveland on his back in the 4th quarter in a comeback win vs. the Knicks at Madison Square Garden to keep the Cavs atop the Eastern Conference. The Fear the 'Fro pod rings it in with a new anthem set to the tune of "Oh, What A Night".

Mike Breen joins the show, and we greet him with a term that disturbs him to his core: "guttural bangs."

In Kings of the Garden: The New York Knicks and Their City (Three Hills, 2024), Adam J. Criblez traces the fall and rise of the New York Knicks between the 1973, the year they won their last NBA championship, and 1985, when the organization drafted Patrick Ewing and gave their fans hope after a decade of frustrations. During these years, the teams led by Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, Bob McAdoo, Spencer Haywood, and Bernard King never achieved tremendous on-court success, and their struggles mirrored those facing New York City over the same span. In the mid-seventies, as the Knicks lost more games than they won and played before smaller and smaller crowds, the city they represented was on the brink of bankruptcy, while urban disinvestment, growing income inequality, and street gangs created a feeling of urban despair. Kings of the Garden details how the Knicks' fortunes and those of New York City were inextricably linked. As the team's Black superstars enjoyed national fame, Black musicians, DJs, and B-boys in the South Bronx were creating a new culture expression―hip-hop―that like the NBA would become a global phenomenon. Criblez's fascinating account of the era shows that even though the team's efforts to build a dynasty ultimately failed, the Knicks, like the city they played in, scrappily and spectacularly symbolized all that was right―and wrong―with the NBA and the nation during this turbulent, creative, and momentous time. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

It's been a quiet week so far in Vegas which is good for both teams involved. Boomer said both teams are staying 20 miles or so outside of the city. Coach COWHER told a story about putting in a defense the night before the Super Bowl that they used 39 times in the game against Seattle. Hines Ward was the MVP in that Super Bowl. Tory Holt is up for the Hall and Boomer says it's his time. There is a log jam at WR in Hall nominees right now. We went through some of the guys up for the Hall of Fame. We talked about James Brown's entourage. He is scheduled to come on at 9am with us. Boomer talked about all the stuff James has to do for the NFL Today every week. Jerry is here for an update and James Brown's entourage is at six so far. Jerry starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde and Mike Breen on 25 years together. Jalen Brunson turned an ankle late in the game. Kyrie Irving returned to Brooklyn as the Mavericks beat the Nets. Kyrie talked about why things failed here with him. He said he had to take some moral stances. Somebody asked Brock Purdy about looking like Lee Harvey Oswald. Rutgers beat Maryland last night and Jerry has clips of Chris Carlin on the call. Buck SHOWALTER is not a fan of analytics and explained why. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about CBS' Super Bowl setup including the ‘doink' cam. Gio has strong Taylor Swift takes but seems to be holding back. Now she's taking heat for not giving an RIP to Toby Keith since he was instrumental in her career. Boomer said you have no idea what she has said to his family privately.
We are taping a segment with Drew Barrymore today that will air later in the week. They will be commenting on a new fashion trend for me, gigantic butts. Gio would not get butt implants but he would get fat sucked out of his man boobs. We don't know a single man who is trying to get a bigger butt. Sports books in the middle of the day, with only horse racing on, is a sad spot. SAQUON Barkley just walked by and Al went chasing him down but his agent said ‘absolutely not'. Gio said LeBron has a mangled foot, particularly his pinky toe. Gio said he should cut it off and put it up on auction. Jerry returns for an update and starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen for 25 years of Knicks coverage. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but Jalen Brunson twisted an ankle late in the game. Kyrie, Luka and the Mavs had no problem in Brooklyn. Kyrie said he felt like he was home and he's made peace with his time with the Nets. The Raptors have a player with the last name Dick, and the Pelicans broadcasters couldn't handle it. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry has audio from Chris Carlin on the call. John Minko was on the call as St. John's beat DePaul. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco are close to a million subscribers and want to drink cognac down the back when that happens. In the final segment of the hour, Jim Rome is leaving CBS Sports Network for X. Rome will join Tucker Carlson as a host over there. Tucker interviewed Vladimir Putin which is sure to upset some people. The mayor of Las Vegas doesn't seem to want the A's to move here. Boomer said it's a done deal, they are moving to Vegas. Eventually an NBA team will come to Vegas.
Hour 1 We are live from Vegas for Super Bowl week. Bad news for the Knicks as Jalen Brunson turned his right ankle late in the game last night against the Grizzlies. Kyrie was asked by a fan last night in Brooklyn why he didn't play this way with the Nets and he blamed Mayor Adams. Boomer loved that he took a shot at the Mayor as he has no control of the city. Gio said Kyrie did a lot of strange things in his tenure with the Nets that had nothing to do with the Mayor and the vaccines. Gio said he also got suspended for being an anti semite, are we forgetting about that? Randy Moss tweeted, ‘Someone got Moss'd' after Al confused the Hall of Famer with horse racing broadcaster, Randy Moss. That was the big Super Bowl story from Tuesday. Eddie walked to UNLV to get a t-shirt yesterday. It was a 6 mile round trip. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with Rutgers beating Maryland, so Boomer owes Jerry $1,000 cash. If Maryland won, Jerry would have had to eat a gummy. We heard from Chris Carlin on the call. Boomer, Gio and Jerry are golfing today and it's going to be cold. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but we hear the play by play of when Jalen Brunson injured his ankle. Boomer thinks Mike Breen is doing more Knicks games because they're winning. Kyrie Irving returned to Brooklyn and a fan asked why he didn't play like this with the Nets and he blamed Mayor Adams. Joe Buck was on a podcast and thinks something bad will happen this week and it won't stay in Vegas. Gio thinks because it's Vegas, the teams and players are on high alert about not doing something stupid. Buck SHOWALTER was on the Jon Heyman podcast and talked about load management. He is not a fan. In the final segment of the hour, Boomer was the subject of a lot of interviews yesterday as part of CBS media day for the Super Bowl. Tony ROMO talked about sports gambling and said it makes the game feel less pure. Gio doesn't agree with that. Jim NANTZ said his favorite food is stone crab. Second favorite is popcorn. He also eats a hotdog at halftime of every game he does, but brings his own bottled ketchup. Boomer remembers a time doing a game with NANTZ where they had to stop by McDonalds on their way to the game. Hour 2 We are taping a segment with Drew Barrymore today that will air later in the week. They will be commenting on a new fashion trend for me, gigantic butts. Gio would not get butt implants but he would get fat sucked out of his man boobs. We don't know a single man who is trying to get a bigger butt. Sports books in the middle of the day, with only horse racing on, is a sad spot. SAQUON Barkley just walked by and Al went chasing him down but his agent said ‘absolutely not'. Gio said LeBron has a mangled foot, particularly his pinky toe. Gio said he should cut it off and put it up on auction. Jerry returns for an update and starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen for 25 years of Knicks coverage. The Knicks beat the Grizzlies but Jalen Brunson twisted an ankle late in the game. Kyrie, Luka and the Mavs had no problem in Brooklyn. Kyrie said he felt like he was home and he's made peace with his time with the Nets. The Raptors have a player with the last name Dick, and the Pelicans broadcasters couldn't handle it. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry has audio from Chris Carlin on the call. John Minko was on the call as St. John's beat DePaul. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco are close to a million subscribers and want to drink cognac down the back when that happens. In the final segment of the hour, Jim Rome is leaving CBS Sports Network for X. Rome will join Tucker Carlson as a host over there. Tucker interviewed Vladimir Putin which is sure to upset some people. The mayor of Las Vegas doesn't seem to want the A's to move here. Boomer said it's a done deal, they are moving to Vegas. Eventually an NBA team will come to Vegas. Hour 3 It's been a quiet week so far in Vegas which is good for both teams involved. Boomer said both teams are staying 20 miles or so outside of the city. Coach COWHER told a story about putting in a defense the night before the Super Bowl that they used 39 times in the game against Seattle. Hines Ward was the MVP in that Super Bowl. Tory Holt is up for the Hall and Boomer says it's his time. There is a log jam at WR in Hall nominees right now. We went through some of the guys up for the Hall of Fame. We talked about James Brown's entourage. He is scheduled to come on at 9am with us. Boomer talked about all the stuff James has to do for the NFL Today every week. Jerry is here for an update and James Brown's entourage is at six so far. Jerry starts with celebrities congratulating Clyde and Mike Breen on 25 years together. Jalen Brunson turned an ankle late in the game. Kyrie Irving returned to Brooklyn as the Mavericks beat the Nets. Kyrie talked about why things failed here with him. He said he had to take some moral stances. Somebody asked Brock Purdy about looking like Lee Harvey Oswald. Rutgers beat Maryland last night and Jerry has clips of Chris Carlin on the call. Buck SHOWALTER is not a fan of analytics and explained why. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about CBS' Super Bowl setup including the ‘doink' cam. Gio has strong Taylor Swift takes but seems to be holding back. Now she's taking heat for not giving an RIP to Toby Keith since he was instrumental in her career. Boomer said you have no idea what she has said to his family privately. Hour 4 James Brown joined us on location at the Blue Wire Studios at the Wynn in Vegas. We talked about CBS' coverage of the Super Bowl and all of the charities James is involved with. We talked about his great interview with Michael Vick from back in the day when he asked, ‘what about the dogs, what about the dogs?' JB claims to have gotten drunk on popcorn dipped in bourbon. JB confirms that Phil Simms wears his wife's glasses. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Jalen Brunson injuring his ankle late in last night's win against the Grizzlies. Kyrie returns to Brooklyn as the Mavs beat the Nets. A fan asked Kyrie why he didn't play this well in Brooklyn and he blamed Mayor Adams. There was a man walking around naked in a Florida airport. Rutgers beat Maryland and Jerry won $1,000 from Boomer. Chris Russo had Clark Hunt on his radio show and asked him about Andy Reid retiring. Boomer said we are in the MAHOMES era of the NFL. The Moment of The Day involves Al chasing down SAQUON Barkley in the hotel and Boomer doing his best KADARIUS Toney impression. In the final segment of the show, Awful Announcing posted that James Brown confirmed Phil Simms wears lady glasses. We are heading over to Drew Barrymore's show right after this show is over. Boomer wonders what Shane Gillis will do on SNL. Gio said he might be a fraud on Drew Barrymore's show and act like he loves the Taylor Swift/Travis KELCE relationship.
LZ and I finally had a chance to take a breath and talk about this crazy ride we have been on for 6 months. We shared some of our favorite moments and also opened up the curtain a bit on how we got guests like Walt Frazier to come on the show.Nick:http://www.instagram.com/BostonCardHunterLZ:http://www.instagram.com/autographstalker Sports Card Madness
For close to half a century after World War II, Marty Glickman was the voice of New York sports. His distinctive style of broadcasting, on television and especially on the radio, garnered for him legions of fans who would not miss his play-by-play accounts. From the 1940s through the 1990s, he was as iconic a sports figure in town as the Yankees' Mickey Mantle, the Knicks' Walt Frazier, or the Jets' Joe Namath. His vocabulary and method of broadcasting left an indelible mark on the industry, and many of today's most famous sportscasters were Glickman disciples. To this very day, many fans who grew up listening to his coverage of Knicks basketball and Giants football games, among the myriad of events that Glickman covered, recall fondly, and can still recite, his descriptions of actions in arenas and stadiums. In Marty Glickman: The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend (NYU Press, 2023), Jeffrey S. Gurock showcases the life of this important contributor to American popular culture. In addition to the stories of how he became a master of American sports airwaves, Marty Glickman has also been remembered as a Jewish athlete who, a decade before he sat in front of a microphone, was cynically barred from running in a signature track event in the 1936 Olympics by anti-Semitic American Olympic officials. This lively biography details this traumatic event and explores not only how he coped for decades with that painful rejection but also examines how he dealt with other anti-Semitic and cultural obstacles that threatened to stymie his career. Glickman's story underscores the complexities that faced his generation of American Jews as these children of immigrants emerged from their ethnic cocoons and strove to succeed in America amid challenges to their professional and social advancement. Marty Glickman is a story of adversity and triumph, of sports and minority group struggles, told within the context of the prejudicial barriers that were common to thousands, if not millions, of fellow Jews of his generation as they aimed to make it in America. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

It's an episode that's hopefully as "Good! Like Nedicks!" - as we take a biographical look back at the rich and influential life of pioneering New York City sports broadcaster Marty Glickman - with biographer/Yeshiva University history professor Jeffrey Gurock ("Marty Glickman: The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend").

10 DAYS LEFT UNTIL NBA REGUAR SEASON. Lets talk about Walt Frazier
Hour 4: Jerry and Sal try to complete their Immaculate Grids before pivoting back to the Mets, who Jerry says need to go 3-2 at worst in their 5 games before the break. Do the Yankees stack up better against the other teams in the AL than we thought a few weeks ago? Sal is not paying attention to Jerry. CLo returns and the guys discuss how they don't rewatch movies like they used to. Francisco Alvarez hit a ball very, very far in the Mets win yesterday. The Yankees beat the Orioles again and are now just 2 games behind the birds. Jerry and Sal reflect on their ages relative to current athletes. Aaron Boone pulls a Clyde Frazier and says the Yankees are “surviving and thriving”. Joey Chestnut is disappointed in his own performance. In Moment of the Day, Sal struggles with facts about America. In the final segment of the show, Jerry and Sal talk 80s movies, an upcoming Jerry Jones documentary, seeing Frankie Valli and there's a positive development in the WFAN wiffle ball game.
Hour 1: Jerry and Sal are back after a holiday. The Yankees and Mets both won but Sal has had enough of multiple pitchers on the Mets. They can find someone to do what Max Scherzer does for one-third of the price and Sal wants Drew Smith off the team. The Yankees had another impressive win over the Orioles. The Mets can change their outlook with a good week but Jerry says both the Mets and Yankees should only worry about one game at a time. Sal wants the Mets to jump a few teams in the wild card standings before the break. CLo is here and begins with Francisco Alvarez's moonshot in Arizona yesterday. Buck Showalter is very impressed by his 21-year-old catcher. The Mets have won 3 in a row for the first time since May into june. The Yankees celebrated John Sterling. Harrison Bader played a big role in another Yankees win. Joey Chestnut was disappointed in himself for only eating 62 hot dogs. Comparing 110+ degree Arizona heat to 90 and humid here in New York. In the final segment of the hour, we hear from Mets fans who are still excited and optimistic. The Mets don't make sense in a potential trade for Shohei Ohtani for many reasons. Jerry says they should at least explore it but Sal says it's not realistic. It's Buckmas in July. Hour 2: Hour 2 begins with Sal saying it should be legal for players to bet on themselves. Jerry and callers don't think that can work. CLo returns and gets us started with the Mets. Buck Showalter agrees with what Sal said yesterday. Francisco Lindor isn't appreciated enough. The Yankees beat the Orioles and have now taken the first two games of that series. Sal says Anthony Volpe is already the Yankees' third best hitter but CLo isn't ready to go that far just yet. IKF has done his assigned role as well as anyone on the Yankees this season. Anthony Rizzo has had a rough month and a half. Sal doesn't want to get to know his neighbors. CLo has the classic John Sterling call from the Mets/Braves July 4th marathon in 1985 that Sal was thinking about last hour. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry quizzes the gang on some basic American history and facts. It does not go very well, especially for Sal. Hour 3: Is Paul George still an option for the Knicks? Sal likes what they've done but would try to add even more shooting. The Knicks are still not close enough to the top teams in the East. Jerry thinks RJ Barrett can still develop into a star. Sal likes RJ but thinks his ceiling is a little bit lower. CLo returns but first Jerry asks Sal if he knows some classic bands and songs. The Yankees won their second straight over the Orioles. Gleyber Torres scored from first on a single. Is it ok when players run through a stop sign from a base coach? The Mets won their series opener in Arizona. In the final segment of the hour, Sal tells Jerry about Immaculate Grid. Hour 4: Jerry and Sal try to complete their Immaculate Grids before pivoting back to the Mets, who Jerry says need to go 3-2 at worst in their 5 games before the break. Do the Yankees stack up better against the other teams in the AL than we thought a few weeks ago? Sal is not paying attention to Jerry. CLo returns and the guys discuss how they don't rewatch movies like they used to. Francisco Alvarez hit a ball very, very far in the Mets win yesterday. The Yankees beat the Orioles again and are now just 2 games behind the birds. Jerry and Sal reflect on their ages relative to current athletes. Aaron Boone pulls a Clyde Frazier and says the Yankees are “surviving and thriving”. Joey Chestnut is disappointed in his own performance. In Moment of the Day, Sal struggles with facts about America. In the final segment of the show, Jerry and Sal talk 80s movies, an upcoming Jerry Jones documentary, seeing Frankie Valli and there's a positive development in the WFAN wiffle ball game.
Hour 3: We continued our talk on Carmelo Anthony and if he's really a ‘Knicks Legend' as was put up on the screen. Is it fair to compare him to the Knicks greats like Clyde Frazier and John Starks? Callers explain why fans like Melo and consider him a Knicks legend. Gio is still not convinced. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks win over the Heat and the great game Jalen Brunson had. Dillon Brooks is a free agent, lets get him here, makes a ton of sense. The Yankees beat the Guardians with HRs by Anthony Volpe and Willie Calhoun. Justin Verlander will pitch tomorrow for the first time as a Met and he's pumped. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and seems to be enjoying getting used to being in a new place with a new team. In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells a story of his friends running into Ed Sheeran at a bar in NYC. He did not tip the bartender at all. We talked about Ed Sheeran being sued by Marvin Gaye so we played the two songs to see if they sound the same. Breaking News: Randall Cobb is signing with the Jets.
Hour 1: The Knicks beat the Heat to even the series 1-1. Boomer thought they showed a lot of effort and Gio said a number of calls went the Knicks way. The NBA really needs this series to go seven games. It was an old school slugfest last night and contested completely throughout the game. Gio thinks if Jimmy Butler played last night that could have meant a Heat win. Aaron Rodgers was back at MSG last night, front row for Knicks/Heat. The Knicks showed Carmelo Anthony on the screen with ‘Knicks Legend' under his name. Boomer said that would be like him being called a ‘Jets Legend'. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with sounds from the Knicks win over the Heat last night. The great Ian Eagle was on the call. Tom Thibodeau loved the overall effort. The Lakers took game 1 from the Warriors and talked ‘load management' after the game. Joel Embiid won the MVP and said he was motivated by the guys on TNT saying he had to be dominant. The Yankees beat the Guardians behind a Willie Calhoun HR and Jerry has John Sterling's HR call. Not great. Max Scherzer talked about getting Justin Verlander back and being back himself. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and talked about getting a nice ovation at MSG. In the final segment of the hour, the Jets will not be picking up the fifth year option on Mekhi Becton. Boomer said he should be one of the guys that gains the most by playing with Aaron Rodgers. A caller didn't think Joel Embiid deserved the MVP award. Hour 2: The Knicks beat the Heat last night and Gio gives a lot of credit to the additions the team added this season. We are reminded of the Knicks/Heat from the 90's. Physical basketball and the referees are letting them play. A caller wants to know if Boomer watched any NHL playoff games last night. He watched Stars/Kraken. Boomer is sick of the timeouts in NBA games as it slows the game down too much. The Knicks were desperate and had to win the game, especially with no Jimmy Butler. A caller wants Derrick Rose to play more, but Gio said he's old. Jerry returns for an update but first Boomer is just hearing that people from the 11th floor are coming to our 10th floor and pooping in our bathrooms. Gio said his dog does large poops. Jerry has audio from fans outside of MSG chanting after their win over the Heat. The Phillies have a Dick Allen bobblehead night and the promotional commercial did not go so smoothly. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and talked about having fun going to the Garden and meeting celebrities. In the final segment of the hour, ‘Knicks Legend' Carmelo Anthony was at the Garden last night and got a nice ovation. Gio wonders why he looks back on the Melo era as not so great so why do the fans seem to adore him? Hour 3: We continued our talk on Carmelo Anthony and if he's really a ‘Knicks Legend' as was put up on the screen. Is it fair to compare him to the Knicks greats like Clyde Frazier and John Starks? Callers explain why fans like Melo and consider him a Knicks legend. Gio is still not convinced. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks win over the Heat and the great game Jalen Brunson had. Dillon Brooks is a free agent, lets get him here, makes a ton of sense. The Yankees beat the Guardians with HRs by Anthony Volpe and Willie Calhoun. Justin Verlander will pitch tomorrow for the first time as a Met and he's pumped. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and seems to be enjoying getting used to being in a new place with a new team. In the final segment of the hour, Gio tells a story of his friends running into Ed Sheeran at a bar in NYC. He did not tip the bartender at all. We talked about Ed Sheeran being sued by Marvin Gaye so we played the two songs to see if they sound the same. Breaking News: Randall Cobb is signing with the Jets. Hour 4: We talked about the NFL schedule and the potential for a Giants/Jets game on Monday night 9/11. We talked more about Carmelo Anthony as a ‘Knicks Legend'. Jerry returns for an update but first we have audio of Sal Licata saying he's not playing flag football for charity. Jerry starts with audio from Ian Eagle from last night's Knicks win at the Garden. Tom Thibodeau loved the effort from his team. Willie Calhoun hit his first HR as a Yankee as they beat the Guardians. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee to talk about his first week with the Jets. He said it's been a ‘blast'. Jessica Alba was at the Knicks game and Gio said she has the best looking shoulder. In the final segment of the show, we think the opening game of the season will be Chiefs/Bengals on Thursday night. A caller said Suffolk County is desperate for officials for high school football games.
Jon and Kurt had so much fun discovering the greatest April Fool's pranks that they dove in even deeper and found more incredible hoaxes. Marketers take it as manna from heaven and have had a lot of fun ginning up interest in their products around great April Fool's initiatives (“Left handed Whopper” anyone?) as have governments (Norway's “free wine” stunt) and celebrities (Walt Frazier). The hosts had fun with this one as they hope you do…and make sure you don't fall for any wooden nickels.
The Doggie is joined by the Great Marv Albert to talk about New York Knicks Legend Willis Reed.
