On the April 14, 2026 episode of “Jamal About Sports,” Jamal Hayden leads with Rory McIlroy winning back-to-back Masters titles, joining rare company and bringing his major total to six; he argues McIlroy could realistically reach eight to ten majors and breaks down Rory’s rollercoaster final round, key birdies, late composure at 18, and CBS’s confusing coverage.
Jamal then launches into an angry critique of the Mets’ 7–10 start, calling the roster moves and leadership (including David Stearns and Carlos Mendoza) disastrous, citing poor lineup decisions, lack of offense, pitching issues, Juan Soto’s impact, Francisco Lindor’s mistakes/slow start, and even criticizing the decision to retire Carlos Beltran’s number.
He closes with the Knicks finishing as the East’s 3-seed (53 wins) and previewing a difficult first-round series vs. the Hawks, emphasizing the need for Brunson-Towns action, stronger play from Towns and Bridges, bench contributions, and criticizing the NBA’s resting culture and loss of local first-round broadcasts.
