Summary

Boomer speculated the Knicks would draw high Finals ratings even if people rooted against them, contrasting with smaller markets like Indiana and OKC. We then lamented the decline of memorable sports nicknames. The conversation returned to KAT's playoff performance. Jerry's final update covered the Mets' ten-inning win over the Dodgers, featuring Lindor's leadoff homer, and previewed the Yankees-Guardians series. Other news included Russell Wilson on Malik Nabers joining the Giants, Saquon Barkley addressing the Madden curse, and Mike Francesa's dieting advice. The "Moment of the Day" highlighted David Andrews' rocky retirement speech. The segment concluded with the arrest of an "overseas sports bettor" who threatened Lance McCullers Jr.'s family, sparking a discussion about A-I and "Bad Tiki."
