The NY Knicks had their first 50 win sesaon in 12 yrs, while clinching the #2 seed in the eastern conference playoffs.

KNICKS BRUNSON FOR MVP| JETS TRADE FOR REDDICK| STEPH CURRY FED UP WITH DRAYMOND? |NY METS STINK!
Should Knicks' Jalen Brunson be in the league MVP discussion? After dropping 61 pts against the Spurs this week, it can't be denied the impact that Brunson has had since his addition to the NY Knicks, especially this season with the rash of injuries that have inflicted the team, Mike Steph makes his case for his campaign.
The NY Jets made a trade with the Eagles this week for DE Hasson Reddick to fill the void in pass rushing that was created by the departure of Bryce Huff, who ironically signed with the Eagles as a free agent. Will he have a major impact? Will they extend him for more years?
The NY Mets started this MLB season on the note that most feared. An inept offense and a non effective pitching staff has them 0-3 after the first series of the season. Looks like its gonna be a long season.
On a much lighter note, Mike Steph discusses the origins of Mrs. Met . From her beginnings in the mid 70's to the reappearance in the mid 2000's, her journey has been interesting.
And lastly, a new segment debuts this week. Stephy Time will make it's introduction to the masses. Along with a couple notes on "group chat etiquette"
All That And More. Enjoy!

And finally, the latest in the ongoing commentary concerning the declining quality of life in NYC by the day! This week an interview with Juniors Restaurant owner took place in the New York Post. The issues brought up, Mike Steph will tackle.

Episode 46: JETS FREE AGENCY MOVES! JALEN BRUNSON CARRYING NY KNICKS| NY METS SPRING TRAINING NEWS
NY Jets Off-Season Signing and Trades. NY Mets being patient with Pete Alonso re-signing and Kodai Senga injury setback. NY Knicks have found their savior in Jalen Brunson, who while leading them to the playoffs, is making Knicks' history. The NBA has a problem on their hands as the old guard are winding down their careers, no attention is being paid or spotlighted to the young talent that will be depended on to keep the machine going. LeBron James and Steph Curry can't continue to be depended on when the league should be highlighting the young stars such as Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Jayson Tatum along with teams such as OKC Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets amongst others.

Episode 44: "Take That,Take That" (NYC Congestion Pricing, Netflix Griselda, Diddy, President Biden)
NYC congestion Pricing is about to start in the city by the beginning of this summer.
On this edition of the world renowned, hardly ever listened podcast, Mike Steph has alot to get off his chest. This week is sports free, so he delves into NYC politics and how the working class is getting screwed over with the unpopular policies that have been implemented over the recent years.
NYC Congestion Pricing is a controversial policy that has past in Albany and its intent is to garner funding for MTA projects to help public transportation achieve the upgrades that have been desperately needed. But at what cost? Is it really wise to squeeze every penny out of the life blood of the city? Mike Steph speaks in-depth about the potential fallout.
Also discussed is the Netflix mini series "Griselda" and whether or not its worth the time. Included is what Mike Steph felt was the best part of the whole series.
And finally, President Biden was in the headlines this past week for what most thought was a controversial interview with a black southern family with Fried Chicken and Fries, unwittingly playing into the complaints that many have had with most thinking that him and the democratic party as a whole have taken the black community for granted over the years and especially during this latest election cycle.
All that and more! Enjoy!

The Super Bowl 58 matchup is set. The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will meet again in the big game after their respectives wins over the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions.
On this edition of the world renowned, hardly ever listened to, hardly ever viewed podcast, Mike Steph will discuss the following:

The Detroit Lions had a 24-7 lead midway thru the 3rd quarter over the Niners. And then it unraveled. Did Dan Campbell cost them a victory with his overaggressive playcalling? Did the Lions choke away an super bowl opportunity? Did Brock Purdy prove to the detractors his worth? Are the Lions ever going to get back to this position in the near future?
The #KissOfSteph is back in effect. Mike Steph will divulge how his predictions always end up coming so close yet so far! Oy Vey!

The Lions have advance first NFC Championship game in over 30 yrs on the arm of Jared Goff and the bravado of HC Dan Campbell. Can they continue this wildly exciting ride all the way to the #Superbowl ?
The Chiefs have made it to their 6th consecutive AFC Championship game, by defeating the Buffalo Bills yet again. They've done it differently than they have in the past though. Will it be enough?
The 49ers barely got by the Green Bay Packers, in large part due to their QB Brock Purdy. Did they dodge a bullet or is this a hint of things to come this upcoming game?
Lamar Jackson will play in his first AFC Title game after leading his Ravens to a commanding victory over the Texans. He is the favorite in the MVP race and the fan favorite after betting on himself in the off season. Will he be able to take that next step and lead them to the promise land?
The MTA has started a pilot program, installing barriers to prevent people from accessing the tracks Mike Steph will give his views on this intiative.
Gov. Hochil has set out to eliminate toll scofflaws BEFORE its actually a thing. These measures are interesting to say the least.

On this edition of the world renowned, hardly ever listened to podcast, Mike Steph discusses the following:
The NY Jets put on another pathetic display of offense in their 16-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Numerous self inflicted wounds prevented the Jets from maintaining any momentum. Foolish penalties, inopportune missteps, dropped passes from supposed veterans leaders all made this past Sunday night in the desert, a fruitless trip. But whose fault is it? Is coaching to blame? Lack of discipline? Zach Wilson has been the punching bag for the NY media, but is he the lone culprit? And how long can Garrett Wilson prevent himself from blowing his lid? HC Robert Saleh has his hands full and Mike Steph will give his "salty thoughts" on all of it.
Also included are Mike Steph's thoughts on how de-sensitized society has become over losses of life. Over the weekend, a life was lost in close proximity and the insensitivity of people were on full display. When has this become the norm?

Julius Randle has had a horrendous start shooting 27percent from the field and has been underwhelming. Jalen Brunson has started off slow but Mike Steph has confidence in him bouncing back once he gets his legs back after the FIBA championships. Overreactions are on the menu.

The Ny Jets got royally screwed by the refs in their SNF matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in a 23-20 loss. There was a silver lining in defeat though.
