In this episode, Tone sits down with Omar for a thoughtful conversation on sports journalism, storytelling, and why sports truly matter beyond the box score.

Omar reflects on where his love for sports began and explains what drew him toward writing about the meaning of sports rather than just recapping what happened. The discussion dives into common misconceptions about modern sports journalism, especially in an era dominated by short takes, social media clips, and instant reactions.

They explore how the rise of sports podcasts and video platforms has reshaped audience engagement for writers, before shifting focus to the New York Knicks. Omar breaks down which current Knicks player’s narrative deserves a reexamination and offers insight on whether the team should be buyers, sellers, or stand pat at the trade deadline.

In the 4th Quarter Segment, the conversation lightens up with rapid-fire topics:

• Favorite place to eat

• Starting a franchise with the No. 1 pick using a Knicks player in their prime

• One overhyped and one underrated NBA storyline

• Super Bowl prediction

This episode blends media insight, Knicks talk, and culture, making it a must-watch for fans who care about how sports stories are told — not just the final score.
