Summary

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into a loaded New York sports hour, from Garrett Cole’s fiery rehab outing to the growing tension between New York and Philadelphia. The conversation starts with Cole drilling a Single A prospect after getting hit hard, sparking a debate about edge, embarrassment and whether old school baseball rules still apply. The hour also brings Yankee Stadium food chaos, a spirited response to Philly criticism of Tiki’s Joel Embiid comments, James Dolan joking about a Knicks championship run, Aaron Rodgers rumors affecting the NFL schedule, and a Cinco list of New York’s most underrated players. Clay Holmes, Josh Hart, Jazz Chisholm and other names all get their moment as the guys sort through what matters most across the local sports scene.
