Summary

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.

A lot out there if you were a giant fan rooting for the demise of the Eagles O-Line,

0:04.2

it seems like the band might be back together for one more year. But, I mean, there's certainly enough breadcrumbs that maybe after next season could be kind of the end for some of these guys. Yeah, they had trouble staying healthy this past season, this past season. Yeah, so maybe they just feel like they owe it back to this team to go back and reunite. That's a lot of pieces to replace on an O line.

0:22.4

Yeah, it's a new voice as well.

Jeff Stoutland, they're pretty good, really good. Offensive line coach was relieved of his responsibilities in the run game and ultimately has left the organization. Yeah, very weird. It's a weird little situation happening down there.

0:39.8

But, I mean, Nick Siriani's a good coach.

0:42.5

You have to give him credit for the success that the team has had.

0:45.0

Begrudgingly, yes, he's a good coach.

All right, let's eat.

This song has just made it. It has made it. I don't care. This is up there with the old Joe and Evan jingle. I'm so in, I cannot believe the rise of that song. Cinco de Luncho is brought to you by Helix Wireless, connecting everything everywhere. Hide the Casso. All right, C.C. Sabathia, number retired. Number 52.

1:28.3

End of the season. So now let's update the board.

1:31.5

The next five New York athletes that will probably get their number retired.

1:34.7

Oh, it's right, because you had Cici on that. Yep. And he was number one. Here we go.

1:38.5

Here we go. Number five. Jackson Darts number six.

2:50.9

Dude, you know, that's like 30 years from now. Yeah, I think there's not going to be that many besides what, 30 years. I mean, he's going to play 12 years. So that's why it's number five. That's why it's number five. Jackson Darts number six will be retired one day. Here we go. Number four. This one I don't necessarily agree with, but I think it's coming. Carmelo Anthony's number seven for the New York Knicks. Why do you not agree with it? Because he didn't win a championship? It's not that he didn't win a championship. He wasn't all-time great. I know. I've come to the understanding that there's an era and generation of Knicks fans. It's slightly younger than me that just he's viewed as their guy, and I have to respect that. Me, this is going to sound like hypocrisy for everybody that screams and yells about CEC and Cleveland. I think of Carmelo Anthony. I live through the New York stuff. He's a Denver nugget to me. Really? He is. He went to a Western Conference finals with them, got drafted by them. I can hardly see him in a Nuggets jersey. When I was younger, senior year of high school, early college, that like powder blue, like that was the most popular jersey. It was the Carmelow Nuggets jersey. Everybody had it. He's a nugget for people that's been doing. How many years was he there? It's a great point. I did not even even look that up let's see carmello was with the i mean it wasn't a short amount of time how many
