Summary

The Yankees keep rolling and even Michael Kay’s on air puns are stealing the spotlight after Fernando Cruz worked out of a massive jam against Texas. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the Yankees’ hot streak, joke about Michael Kay channeling full dad joke energy, and debate whether Sean Morash could outdo him in the booth. They also dive into the Knicks taking control of their playoff series, Cade Cunningham’s struggles, and why Pistons Magic has suddenly become must watch basketball. Later, Evan unloads on what he sees as hypocrisy from Gary Cohen after comments about Daniel Murphy’s success with the Nationals reopened an old Mets debate. The crew revisits Cohen’s past criticism of Murphy, argues about whether fans and broadcasters should own bad takes, and breaks down the current state of the Mets offense during their brutal slump. Plus, the guys react to Boomer Esiason impersonating Sean Morash, brainstorm WFAN roster additions, and continue the station’s ongoing obsession with “net negatives” in New York sports.
