Farace, Tim, and Anthony are all in the house tonight for Episode 122 — and there is no shortage of playoff chaos and sports drama to break down. Dave/Melo? Off on assignment... or more likely watching the Heat's offseason unfold.We start on the ice, where the Florida Panthers now lead the Stanley Cup Final 2–1 after a Game 3 beatdown in Edmonton. The Cats hung a 6–1 L on the Oilers, with Brad Marchand doing what Brad Marchand does (four goals in the series), Sam Reinhart cashing in twice, and Carter Verhaeghe playing like a man possessed. Edmonton? They lost more than the game—they lost their composure, racking up 85 penalty minutes and turning Rogers Place into a wrestling ring. McDavid and crew have some soul searching to do before Game 4.Meanwhile on the hardwood, the Pacers lead the NBA Finals 2–1 over OKC. Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin are out here embarrassing folks, with Mathurin torching the Thunder for 27 off the bench in Game 3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still doing MVP things, but OKC’s depth is starting to crack under Indiana’s relentless pace. Let’s just say no one had "Pacers in 6" in their playoff pool — but here we are.Now… cue the MSG frustration. The Knicks are flailing through their coaching search, missing on candidates left and right with seemingly no real plan. Farace is already armed with receipts and ready to go off. Tim and Anthony will be there to stir the pot and keep the laughs going — or to just try and talk him down (good luck).Over in Pittsburgh, it finally happened — Aaron Rodgers is officially a Steeler. After months of dark rooms and vague Instagram posts, he finally signed on the dotted line. Not a soul on this show (especially Farace or Tim) is buying the hype — but it will be fun to watch the circus unfold from afar.Elsewhere in NHL news, Chris Kreider is now an Anaheim Duck, closing out his long run as a Ranger. Broadway will miss him, but Anaheim will gladly take the scoring touch and leadership.And on the baseball diamond? NYC is eating right now. The Mets own the best record in baseball — Farace is beaming. The Yankees lead the AL East — Tim is cautiously optimistic and trying not to jinx it. Anthony? He’ll be happy to remind us that yes, the Marlins still technically have a baseball team.All that and more tonight on Episode 122 — packed with playoff swings, coaching dysfunction, NFL headlines, and plenty of New York swagger. See you there.
