JJ opens with how lucky New York is to have the two best pitchers in baseball in Jacob deGrom and Gerrit Cole (01:43). He then welcomes the legendary Mike Francesa to discuss everything going on right now in the New York sports scene and beyond, including the Knicks’ revival, the Yankees’ problems, and why deGrom is the most dominant pitcher he’s seen since Sandy Koufax. Plus, Francesa pulls back the curtain on some of the most interesting moments of his career and weighs in on the state of sports talk today (15:01). Next, JJ breaks down the return of Kevin Durant for the Nets, and the Knicks extending their winning streak to nine (1:01:47). Finally, he closes it out with listener voicemails (1:06:52) and goes through some NFL draft props with Arthur DiCesare (1:28:419).

Plus, we always want to hear from you! Leave JJ a message on the Listener Line at 917-382-1151.
