Show Notes
Aaron Boone is back for a 10th season with the Yankees, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber believe the organization missed its opportunity to make a desperately needed change. After years of postseason disappointment and a franchise stuck in neutral, why are the Yankees sticking with a manager who has yet to deliver a championship? Evan argues that the looming MLB lockout is the only legitimate explanation, but questions what message that sends to a frustrated fan base.
With Boone entering the final year of his contract, the guys debate whether he's already a lame duck and if anything short of a World Series title can save his job. Could Alex Cora or Carlos Beltran be the Yankees' next manager? Plus, the discussion turns to the Jets, as Evan explains why even an embarrassing loss to the Dolphins shouldn't lead to Aaron Glenn getting fired midseason.

Evan Roberts is officially nervous about the Jets, and a matchup with the winless Miami Dolphins suddenly feels like a potential disaster. Despite Miami's ugly record, Evan warns that the Dolphins are better than people think, while the Jets continue to sabotage themselves with costly penalties, red-zone failures, and an offense that can't get Garrett Wilson the football. Tiki Barber weighs in on Frank Reich's struggles and why another sloppy performance could effectively end the Jets' season.
The Knicks' championship ring celebration has turned into a controversy for all the wrong reasons! Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber agree that assistant coaches receiving their rings late is hardly a scandal. But Madison Square Garden sending employees a fake offer to choose championship rings as a phishing test, when some may not receive rings at all, is a different story. Evan and Tiki blast the stunt as mean-spirited and question how anyone thought it was a good idea.
