There is a lot to recap with the local sports teams and we start with the Knicks winning Friday night and yesterday, taking a 3-1 series lead over the Cavaliers. Julius Randle did not play well the last two games. The Knicks fans don’t know how to react to this winning of playoff games. Boomer & Gio were impressed with RJ Barrett. Boomer is pumped for tonight’s Rangers/Devils game at the Garden. He was impressed by Devils’ goalie Akira Schmid. Jerry is here for his first update and we talked about how passionate the Knicks’ fanbase is based on their reaction to winning games in this series. Boomer doesn’t like that we are talking about Julius Randle not playing well instead of the Knicks winning. Jerry has sound from the Knicks win yesterday. Gio doesn’t understand why Boomer is suddenly defending Julius Randle when he had been going after him and wanted him off the team. Boomer said he’s a positive guy and wants to focus on the wins.

The Yankees lost their first series of the year, to the Blue Jays in the Bronx. The Tampa Rays have now hit HRs in their first 22 games so far.

Gio said the Knicks have odd celebrities at the game.
The Jets and Packers are reengaging in talks to send Aaron Rodgers to the Jets. Gio wonders if it will feel like a big deal when it actually happens as we’ve been assuming it’s happening for so long. Boomer says the Jets will be playing 5 prime time games and could be in a 6th prime time game if flexed in the final week. A number of Detroit Lions players have been suspended for gambling. Some of them even bet from the Lions facility. Gio doesn’t think it’s a big deal, but the callers seem to disagree.

The Mets lost to the Giants, the second straight loss although they went 7-3 on the west coast trip. The Yankees lost a series to the Blue Jays. Boomer wonders if the Yankees can catch the Rays. The Islanders lost again and are one game from elimination. In the final segment of the hour, Morgan Wallen canceled his show at the last minute due to voice problems. There are rumors he was hammered and hanging out with multiple women which was the cause of the problems. A caller wonders if the Devils will start Schmid at goalie again tonight.
We talked about Anthony Gallo and how he thought he had something on his genitals but it was just freckles. Boomer wonders if it was a ‘tug burn’. We also talked more about the Knicks series against the Cavaliers. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the Knicks taking a 3-1 series lead over the Cavaliers with two wins over the weekend. Jerry also went around the NBA from yesterday’s playoff games. Dillon Brooks doesn’t know why people think he’s a villain and intended to hit LeBron James ‘in the nuts’. In the final segment of the hour, Gio thinks somebody is out to get CJ Stroud. His cognitive test scores were leaked and they were not good. Rich Cimini tweeted about the Jets draft and said the belief is the Jets will take Broderick Jones, the Tackle out of Georgia. We also talked about the best and worst Wonderlic scores for QBs.
The NFL Draft is happening on Thursday in Kansas City and they should have good weather (it’s an outside event). It also looks like we’re getting great weather for the Five Borough Bike Tour.
