Knicks Finals Doubt, Fan Trauma, and a Yankees Injury Scare

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the emotional baggage that comes with rooting for teams that have fallen short for decades. With the Knicks on the championship doorstep, Evan explains why even a promising Finals run cannot fully erase his fear that New York’s long suffering franchises are destined to disappoint. The conversation moves through Mets, Jets, Nets, Rangers, and Knicks heartbreak, caller pushback over Evan’s “loser franchise” mindset, and whether a Knicks title could permanently change the way he views fandom. The hour also touches on the Yankees’ loss to Cleveland and whether there should be concern about Aaron Judge’s health.
