Welcome to "This is our Year Podcast", The New York sports podcast hosted by Michael Kurland and Doug O'Keefe.
Giants have recently made the Final 53 when the league reveals its final rosters. The Giants have also added some significant players to their roster, including Pittsburgh cornerback Jason Pinnock, who was selected in the fifth round of last year's draft. Doug adds that the Giants definitely need to step up their game. Following the conversation about football, they also talked about the Mets and their recent league performance. The Mets had previously suffered two losses in a row, which is to be expected given their recent passive position regarding the trade deadline. They also spoke about the current challenges, with the Islanders outlining the continued issues with signing players and contracts. Mike and Doug expressed their feelings to the Islanders that it will be the same for the next year and expects no improvement. Lastly, They talked about KD and the Nets. KD has rescinded his trade demands and he will be coming back to the team. They also noted Nash and Kyrie will be coming back and made some signing agreements.
