Show Notes
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.
Meanwhile, Tiki studies Giants game film to identify the defenders behind Dennard Wilson's fiery criticism, with Tremaine Edmunds standing out for all the wrong reasons. The debate also turns to the Giants starting J.J. McCarthy over Jameis Winston, whether his mobility can revive the running game, and what the decision means for their chances Sunday. Plus, frustration with the Brooklyn Nets, the Jets' underused screen game, and a surprising World Series pitching decision.
