Summary

We open with Boomer’s bike tour and a heavy look at the Knicks/Sixers series, covering everything from spread guesses and Joel Embiid’s desperate plea for Philly fans to hold their tickets. The heart of the show is dedicated to the legendary John Sterling following the breaking news of his passing, featuring iconic highlights from his Yankees and Islanders career, emotional listener calls, and Rickie Ricardo’s incredible story of rescuing him from a flooded road. Along with a vote of confidence for Carlos Mendoza and series wins for both the Mets and Yankees, we navigate the NBA and NHL playoffs before closing with more memories of the incomparable voice of the Yankees.

So just like the Knicks sort of found something in the series against the Hawks and looked dominant, so did the Sixers. So this is going to be a lot of fun. You remember a couple years ago, man, it got nasty between these two teams in such a fun series. So hoping for another one where the Knicks win, the Mets win a series out against the Angels.

That I love. Remember, I was talking about, oh, we're going to have a next generation of bagpipers? That makes me feel great. We had one yesterday.
