Summary

Chris Russo missed Knicks/Cavs Game 1 after taking two Valiums for an MRI and falling asleep at 8 p.m., prompting Gio to compare a tarmac delay to an MRI tube.

Jerry then returns with Mike Brown discussing player sacrifices, OKC evening their series with the Spurs, a 2-1 Yankees loss to the Blue Jays despite Cam Schlittler pitching well, and Carlos Mendoza addressing the Mets' missing offense against the Nationals. Finally, a caller wonders which other WFAN personalities will become Radio Hall of Famers.
