Sports Talk

Baseball is here, and everyone's saying it'll be a big year for the Mets and a rebuilding year for the Yankees. Are they right? And what does it say about the Texans that Tony Romo would rather go to the broadcasting booth than play quarterback for them? All these topics and more discussed on the latest edition of Sports Talk

MLB Opening Day in a few days. The NCAA Final Four this weekend. The NFL Draft in a few weeks. The NBA and NHL Playoff Pictures becoming more and more clear. Yup, Chris and the crew had a lot to talk about in this latest edition of Sports Talk.

Josh McCown as quarterback? Ladies and gentleman, your 2017 New York Jets. And, when a television network pays $1.5B for television rights to the NBA, should the Head Coaches be forced to play--heck, even dress--their best players? Find out in the latest edition of Sports Talk, hosted solely by Marc Talkofsky.

In a very special 3-hour edition of "Sports Talk," Chris, Marc, and KJ were joined by Yankees beat reporter Erik Boland of Newsday, legendary sportswriter/radio host Wallace Matthews, and Mets beat writer extraordinaire Adam Rubin of ESPN. Given the knowledge shared by each guest in an easy-going manner, you can see why journalists have long thought of WHPC's Sports Talk as a second home.

On the "First Day of the NFL Year," NFL teams acted like their counterparts in MLB and NBA by making Salary Cap/Salary Dumping deals. Chris and the WHPC Sports Staff delved into the flurry of activity involving the Texans, Browns and maybe Tony Romo. And, March Madness is upon us. Everyone's scouting the Conference Tournaments to have better informed brackets--or so they hope.

Will the last veteran Jet remaining please turn out the lights?! Chris and the crew discuss the releases of Nick Mangold, Darrelle Revis and now Brandon Marshall. And, how exactly will pitchless intentional walks speed up baseball games?

In the aftermath of the Darrelle Revis arrest and a bonus still to be paid, Chris and the crew contemplate whether the Jets will release Mr. Revis and speculate on just exactly who will wind up being the Jets' starting QB. Also, can Alex Rodriguez really say that he's "retired" when the Yankees are still paying him $21M not to play?

Just when the Knicks season couldn't get any more uglier, along comes the Charles Oakley/James Dolan flare-up. Chris and the guys discuss a) Can this relationship be saved? and, b) Why should we care? And, when did the use of the word "goat" change in sports from being the guy who costs you the game to being an acronym for the "Greatest of All Time?" Is this a generational thing?

It's finally here, Super Bowl LI! Chris and the crew spent most of the show dissecting if the Falcons have a real chance or if it's going to be a blowout for the Patriots. One thing that becomes obvious is that outside of New England, a lot of people are tired of the Pats. And, we don't just mean Roger Goodell!

Chris and the boys bemoan the lack of competitive games in this year's NFL Playoffs, but express hope for the upcoming Patriots-Falcons match-up in the now-set Super Bowl LI. And, it's another week in the continuing drama that is "As The Knicks Turn," as it's been revealed that the Cavaliers turned down a trade for Carmelo Anthony.

On the eve of the NFL Conference Championships, the Sports Talk guys break down the match-ups that will yield Super Bowl LI's two participants. And, does the Phil Jackson/Carmelo Anthony drama end with a Melo trade or does our long national nightmare continue?

NFL Divisional Playoffs, Chris and the crew dissect the results of the First Round of the Playoffs and make their picks for this weekend's games. Also, did Billy Joel's "Miami 2017 predict BOTH the destruction of New York City and the New York Giants?!?!

Chris and the crew discuss the First Round of the NFL Playoffs and hotly debate who should be the MVP of the regular season. Plus: Should the Knicks trade Carmelo Anthony, and is it OK for the Giants wide receivers to party with Justin Bieber before a playoff game?

What are the chances that the Mets get the NL Wild Card? Also discussed: the so-far underwhelming performances of the Jets and Giants, and the tragic passing of Marlins All Star pitcher Jose Fernandez.
