The state of New York football is dire, to say the least, with both teams sitting at 1-3 and in danger of becoming irrelevant in a matter of weeks.
Evan normally had a mainstay of a distraction during this all-too familiar time of the Giants and Jets falling out of it early in the season, but for the first time in seven years, that "security blanket" is gone.
So, Evan says it is all the Yankees' fault that he, Tiki, and Morash have to fixate on the woes of New York football instead of having October baseball to talk about.
"When all of this would happen year after year, we all had one constant…the Yankees are in the playoffs and ready to go," Evan said. "On the other side, Tommy Lugauer, me and others, we'd hate-watch the Yankees and root against them…this has been a constant forever. The Yankees have been our binkie, or safety blanket, our security. No matter what the Giants, Jets, or Mets did, we always had the New York Yankees, and today my friends, we don't. We don't have our security blanket.
"They have caused us to have to pay even more attention to our crappy our football teams are."
So, on Tuesday afternoon, as the Wild Card Series kicked off the MLB postseason, the Evan and Tiki crew had to dive into the struggles of Daniel Jones and the Giants offensive line rather than gearing up for another Yanks playoff run.
"Here's what would have happened on this radio station. We would have bitched about the Giants and Jets, of course. That's who we are," Evan said. "And then, around 3:40, Morash would have turned his mic on to talk about the Yankees lineup…and then we would have been in this time warp of October baseball. Maybe it would have lasted a week, maybe it would have lasted three weeks, who knows? The Yankees screwed us all."
