Summary

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle open Friday's show by refusing to let go of the 2025-26 CHAMPION New York Knicks, debating just how worried fans should be about James Dolan's proclamation on The Carton Show about the salary cap's second apron, and wondering if Aaron Boone might just be the best manager in MLB.

That'll be great. We got lots of cooking for you. The wheel is back today. We got replacement staff on the other side of the glass as well that. That nobody cares about. So more on that where we play the wheel. Good afternoon. Big Mac. How are you today, Ken? I'm doing well, Craig. How are you the day after? I'm doing, frankly, amazing. Really? Still feeling it? Still in the vibe? Still know of the... It's all over. Nothing else to look forward to.

No, I think Monday's going to be like, man, I missed the Knicks. I wish there was a Knit game today. But even though the parade took four days to happen, you know, the anticipation of the parade and who's going to be at the parade and how many people are going to be at the parade. now obviously it was even for us we had to talk about the parade yesterday

0:39.2

but there's any kind of hangover for you, or if anyone has a story that you may have got to tell the guys, you know, this story, that story, will obviously take that. I don't think today, and I disagree with some of my colleagues here, today to me is not the day to worry and talk about the second apron

0:56.4

or, you know, is Carl Anthony Towns going to take a discount

0:59.6

so that we can keep the core together and all that.

1:02.9

Because when you get to those conversations, it's like you've moved on.

1:08.4

And I'm not ready yet to move on from the joy I got for the Nick

1:12.5

championship, from the next brought me. And I want to push that back if you don't mind.

1:18.5

Today's not the day, because as soon as you start talking about next year and the salary

1:22.9

gap and the draft and all that stuff, then that means we've moved on from something that brought us such great joy.

1:31.1

I'm not ready to do that.

1:32.1

A couple of things.

1:32.8

One, to be fair, the owner mentioned it on this show.

1:35.8

Yes, he did.

1:36.3

We didn't.

1:37.0

Yes, he did.

1:37.4

When you asked him about keeping the group together, he could have easily just said, I'll try.

1:41.1

He specifically said, no second apron and referred to it as NBA suicide. So when that

1:46.9

happens on this show from the owner of the team, talking about I'll sign checks as big as they

1:54.0

need, except that big, like it's contradictory, it's newsbreaking, and it's part of how this team

2:00.2

But here's the thing. So I'm, listen, you want to push it all fine, but it's a significant point that he chose to bring up before the parade. Yeah, to me, it's not even the second April is not a conversation we should ever have on this show because it's so convoluted. I agree. And nobody really understands it or wants to hear about it because it deals with math and most of you guys suck at math? You don't want to hear that this rich owner who just made a boatload of money on this championship run can't sign a check because that's what we've always said. Despite all of his failings, despite everything he's ever done, despite facial recognition, Isaiah Thomas, anything else, the one thing we know is he wants to win and he'll write the biggest check. Yeah. He'll spend the money. But there's also smart spending, right? There is. The New York Mets zone and wants to check.

2:35.7

There's also smart spending, right?
