Phil Mushnick once told me Mike Francesa would spit in my face. The apex of "Get off my lawn / Hot Takes" on the internet. I have never won the day on Twitter. Nor do I want to. A podcast for the intelligent and angry.

Mike Vaccaro, lead sports columnist for the New York Post joins the Thursday Talk of the Red Ticket Blues Podcast.
First, we discuss what the New York Knicks need to do going forward. Does it involve Carmelo Anthony? Will Phil Jackson hire one of "his guys" and let Tom Thibodeau keep walking?
Staying with the Knicks, I ask Mike about how three years ago he got a sitdown with the owner of the Knicks and Rangers that being James Dolan.
We then get a little into his beginnings in the business and how he has personally had adapt with time, newspapers, and himself.
The conversation then leads to current journalism and the most recent Peyton Manning story published by Shaun King of the New York Daily News. Is hero worshipping the neglect for the story or a different angle?
We recap what the Jets and Giants certainly need going into the draft in April.
Mike previews the seasons for the Mets and Yankees and what Yoenis Cespedes means to the Mets and if the Bombers have a shot at the playoffs.
Finally, Mike discusses his book, Emperors and Idiots , that deals with one of the oldest rivalries in American sports between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.
