Show Notes
Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman face the media, and their answers leave plenty for Yankees fans to be furious about. Steinbrenner puts the blame on the players while defending Cashman and Aaron Boone, but Evan Roberts isn't buying the excuses. From Hal's response to Aaron Judge's demand to go all in to Cashman's bizarre claim that Giancarlo Stanton finished the season healthy, Evan and Tiki Barber dissect a frustrating day for the Yankees. Evan also unloads on Boone's disastrous postseason lineup decision and questions why nobody in the organization is being held accountable.
Meanwhile, the Giants are reportedly turning to J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback against Houston. Tiki warns that the move could backfire against the Texans' pass rush, especially with the Giants still fighting for a playoff spot. Plus, callers weigh in on the Yankees' leadership, and Jalen Brunson delivers a memorable reminder about never leaving games early.
More from Evan & Tiki
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.
