WHPC Sports Talk

Opening Day. A day of rebirth and dreams of a 162-0 season. And, the Yankees and Mets obliged. Listen to the Sports Talk crew revel in the locals starting the season right. And, how do you solve a problem like Odell Beckham, Jr.? By trade? Or, by talking tough? All this and more on the latest edition of Sports Talk.

It's a strange world when a manager can unexpectedly take a team to within one game of the World Series and then lose his job. But that's the new reality of Major League Baseball. We break down Joe Girardi's exodus, and discuss who might be the next Yankees manager. Plus, NFL, NBA and NHL talk on the latest edition of Sports Talk.

In what kind of bizarro world are we living in that the Jets have a winning record and the Giants are winless? And, can you believe that the Yankees came from behind 2-0 to knock the Indians out of the Playoffs? We can't either. All this and more on the latest edition of Sports Talk.

Who'd have thunk it that the Jets would have a case to be the #1 football team in New York this year? And, what should the Mets do about Matt Harvey. To tender or not to tender, that is the question. All this and more on the latest edition of Sports Talk.  

With the MLB playoffs starting soon, should the Yankees be setting up for the Wild Card game now or do they still have any kind of shot at the Division title? And, Brandon Marshall has played for 11 years with 4 different and never tasted the playoffs. Has he brought his "curse" to the Giants? All this and more on the latest edition of Sports Talk.

As the newest NFL season begins, the crew offers their predictions on how the season is going to go and who'll make the playoffs.  And, in the grand history of Jets disappointments, are we really looking at what is shaping up to be an historically bad season?  Or, will they surprise us by not fully stinking up the joint? All this and more on the latest edition of Sports Talk.

With the Las Vegas oddsmakers setting the Jets' Over/Under expected Win total at 3 1/2, the crew chimes in with their thoughts as to which way they'd go on that front. And, with the Yankees' Wild Card lead getting smaller by the day, is it time to panic in the Bronx, or, will a head-to-head series with the Red Sox be the answer? And should Met fans be optimistic or pessimistic regarding the cliche...

It seems that the NBA has become a 12-month league with all of its off-season blockbuster trades and signings. And, this week was no exception as the Cavs and Celtics consummated the big Kyrie Irving deal. Our crew breaks the deal down from every angle. And, the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is only a few days away. Do we dare watch? Do we dare care? All this and more on the latest editi...

If you had circled the August dates of the Subway Series before this season started, you'd have expected it to feature a playoff-bound Mets team versus a rebuilding Yankees team. Instead, the roles have been reversed. Not fun for Mets fans. Also, the NFL Pre-Season has begun, and the Jets and their QB's looked good in their first game. Are we crazy to think that the Jets season will be better than...

It's been A Tale of Two Cities this week in New York sports. If you're a Yankees or Giants fan, it's time to be optimistic about your team's chances in the Fall. If you're a Mets or Jets fan, you won't be seeing any meaningful games in the Fall. And, in the wake of the Jay Bruce trade, the age-old debate continues: should the Yankees and Mets ever trade with each other? All this and more on the la...

While the MLB Trading Deadline has passed, it's still possible for big-salaried players to make it through waivers. Will the Mets be able to move guys like Granderson, Walker and Bruce? Do the Yankees have everything they need at this point to make a run at the Wild Card -- or even the Division title? And, what is playing a bigger role in the continued free agency of Colin Kaepernick -- his abilit...

Everything was going fine in the NBA offseason until Kyrie Irving asked for a trade from the Cavaliers, and get this, he'd like to come to the Knicks! So, the Sports Talk crew played a little game of "What's it going to take to get Kyrie?" And, with the MLB Trade Deadline, the Mets showed that they're going to be sellers by trading Lucas Duda. And finally, which is worse for Lucky Whitehead: getti...

With the Baseball Trade Deadline upon us, the Yankees have begun to make their moves. OK, Mets, it's your turn. And, now that another generation has learned exactly what wall-to-wall OJ Simpson coverage looks like, where does "The Juice" go in this Digital Age? Is another long national nightmare just beginning? All this and more on the latest edition of Sports Talk.

Another week and another installment of "As the Knicks Turn." Is Carmelo going? Is Carmelo staying? No one knows--especially the Knicks. And, with the Espys airing this week along with a documentary on the legacy of Mike & The Mad Dog, we discuss the generational impacts--if any--that each of them has had on our multi-generational radio team.

As the NBA's game of Musical Chairs continues, and teams are busily acquiring sidekicks for their superstars, what do the Knicks do about Carmelo Anthony? Keep him, trade him, or buy him out? And, now that we're in July, has it become apparent that BOTH New York baseball teams -- the Mets AND the Yankees -- have to become sellers? All this and more on the latest edition of Sports Talk.

How do Knicks fans react when out of the blue (and orange,) the object of their ire, Phil Jackson, is let go? They're elated but you still can't fire the owner. And, why fire him days after the NBA Draft? The Sports Talk crew -- and their callers -- were unanimous in their belief that Frank Ntilikina​ would NOT have been the choice if someone else was in charge. And, have the Mets' and Yankee's fo...

As the NBA Draft was unfolding at the same time as our show, we all learned together that the Knicks' Triangle Offense will have a distinctive French accent going forward. Has Phil Jackson uncovered another European gem like Kristaps Portzingis, or is it just fool's gold? And speaking of gold, more specifically the Golden Knights, is there really going to be a hockey team playing in Las Vegas? All...

Now that the Finals are over, what does a Warriors dynasty mean for the NBA? More importantly, what does it mean for LeBron James? And, if you're both a Mets and Jets fan, will the rest of the year be sheer torture? Is there hope? All this and more on the latest edition of Sports Talk.

On the latest edition of Sports Talk, the crew ponders just what it'll take for any team to conquer the New Warriors Dynasty. Will LeBron have to build a Super Team of his own? And, Mets Fan Therapy was in session. With 1/3 of the season now in the books, does this team still have a run left in them?

On the latest edition of Sports Talk, the team gives their predictions on how the NBA Finals will go. Did they even need to play an 82 game season when a Warriors/Cavaliers matchup was a foregone conclusion? And, is the glass half empty or half full for the Mets season? If Terry Collins doesn't come back, who'll replace him?

On the latest edition of "Sports Talk," the crew speculated whether Cavaliers/Warriors III will live up to the hype and be the best series of the trilogy. Or, will the third time not be the charm?  And, when does "optional" mean "mandatory?" Just asking for a friend named Odell.

On the latest edition of Sports Talk, Chris ponders if the Mets will ever turn it around and if the Yankees' run is real. And by ponders, we mean laments. And, Knicks fan Tristan and Nets fan Marc turn green (all pun intended) with envy over KJ's Celtics' playoff success plus their securing of the first overall draft pick -- from the aforementioned Nets.

On the latest edition of Sports Talk, the team pondered how the Mets can solve Matt Harvey's problems--on and off the field. And, will the NBA Conference Finals merely be speed bumps on the road to what the NBA and TV networks want--namely, a Cavs-Warriors Final. Or, will the Spurs and/or the Celtics show up and crash the party?

In what universe are we living where the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets have both been judged to have made astute picks in the 2017 NFL Draft? That's the question pondered on the latest edition of Sports Talk. And, as the NBA and NHL Playoffs are getting more and more dramatic, the following questions are posed: is a Cavs-Warriors Final a mere inevitability? And will the Rangers survive to hav...

Real-time reactions to and analysis of the NFL Draft including the elation in Tristan's and KJ's voices when the Jets picked Jamal Adams at #6. Listen closely to hear Chris' heart break when the Giants reached for Evan Engram at #23. And, not to be outdone, Marc pondered why the Mets season has started off so badly and can they dig themselves out of this divisional hole?
