0:00.0	Yes. Evan and Tiki on this incredibly busy Thursday. I want to be fair about this.
0:08.9	These are our teammates, everybody at this radio station, and I love and I respect them. Earlier on the show,
0:14.1	we were talking about the latest in the Diana Rusini, Mike Vrable situation and how there
0:18.4	are more pictures that have emerged that the New York Post has published.
0:21.7	And Sean turned on a microphone and said, while he was the originator of the Bill Belichick rumor that maybe Bill would be behind things,
0:28.6	he said he has a new theory. And that new theory is that Gerard Mayo would be behind it. I believe in fairness.
0:35.7	So ladies and gentlemen, I take you back a week and a half ago.
0:39.7	Sean Morash was not the originator of the Gerard Mayo idea.
0:44.0	This guy was.
0:45.2	So you start thinking, who would have an axe to grind with him?
0:49.2	Well, one person does come immediately to mind.
0:55.0	Who was the head coach of the Patriots two years ago?
0:58.8	Mayo?

All right, let's get to the Knicks real quick, and then we'll get back to your calls, because obviously it is a crazy sports day with a lot of different, a lot of different number one things you care about. Giant fans care about what they're doing at 5 and 10. Obviously, the Jets have big decisions to make. The Knicks are playing a playoff game. The Mets are trying to win their second straight game. And yes, it is still Yankees Red Sox. And I have been told that tonight you can get Yankees Red Sox on the AM side, early first pitch today at a little after 6 o'clock. and the Carton Show will stay until 7 on the FM side into a very special Tommy Lou Gower. Tommy, you'll do the full 5 tonight, so he'll be on for the draft. So if you want the Yankee game, cool, a.m. If you want Sports Talk, Tommy at 7, and if you want all of us on YouTube, you got that.
2:01.7	So you got a lot of options.
