Summary

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into a loaded New York sports hour, starting with Tiki becoming public enemy number one in Philadelphia after his blunt Joel Embiid comments inspired a full blown diss track. The conversation turns from Philly outrage to a busy Yankees afternoon, with lineup decisions, injury concerns, and the pressure of staying ahead in the AL East all on the table. The guys also debate whether players should show sportsmanship in the postseason, how fans really think about opponent injuries, and why OG Anunoby’s status could shape the Knicks’ championship hopes. From Yankees parking tips to playoff mind games and the latest round of injury anxiety, this episode captures the chaos, humor, and tension of a huge New York sports day.

You got a problem with that? He said, no, no, sir.
