Summary

Newly released emails connected to Jeffrey Epstein put New York Giants minority owner Steve Tisch in the spotlight, raising serious questions about accountability, league standards, and whether the NFL will actually confront uncomfortable issues involving ownership. The guys break down what is known, what is denied, and why this story barely registered across national NFL media. They also dig into what authority Roger Goodell truly has, how past ownership scandals were handled, and why the Giants brand and the Mara family sit at the center of the conversation. The show pivots to the Knicks. Was it worth paying a fortune to see LeBron James at Madison Square Garden, an all-time Reggie Miller broadcast moment that drove fans crazy, and whether the Knicks’ recent run changes the urgency to chase Giannis. A caller floats a Mikal Bridges for Jrue Holiday trade, and the guys explain why that idea quickly falls apart.
