105. The Knicks Took an L — And So Did the Fans

The Knicks’ 13-game playoff winning streak is over, and Game 3 of the NBA Finals gave us a lot to unpack. Will, LeeJay, and Erik break down the Knicks’ 115-111 loss to the Spurs, from the second-chance points and careless turnovers to Jalen Brunson slipping back into hero-ball mode, Wemby changing shots at the rim, and why Game 4 suddenly feels like a must-win. But the conversation goes beyond the box score. The guys also get into the ugly scenes after the game, including fights involving fans and why the behavior was embarrassing for New York. The Dummies talk about what it means to be lifelong New Yorkers watching that unfold. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2363748/fan_mail/new]

102. Knicks in Five? Mets Hope, Jets & Giants Schedule Therapy

The boys are back for Episode 102, and this one is all over the New York sports map in the best way possible. We start with some real-life chaos — LeeJay battling the subway, Will surviving the DMV, and the eternal question of how everyone is supposedly broke while every bar and restaurant is still packed. Then Erik, LeeJay, and Will jump into the newly released NFL schedule and do our way-too-early win-loss predictions for both the Giants and Jets. Are we talking ourselves into these teams again? Unfortunately, yes. From there, it’s Knicks time. With the Eastern Conference Finals here, the guys break down why this run feels different, what the Knicks need to do against Cleveland, and whether “Knicks in five” is actually crazy… or just confidence. We also get into the Mets, who have shown some life lately but still have plenty of issues to clean up. Are they actually turning things around, or are we just getting pulled back in? Plus, we close with a fun Mt. Rushmore of batting stances, because every baseball fan has tried to copy at least one weird stance in the backyard. Giants, Jets, Knicks, Mets, subway rants, DMV trauma, and Julio Franco’s batting stance — this episode has range.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2363748/fan_mail/new]
