Former Yankees manager Buck Showalter agreed to a three-year contract to manage the New York Mets. Rob and Tim discussed what the Showalter Era could look like, and the possibility that Carlos Beltran will be one of his coaches. Covid-19 is back and hitting every league hard. The NFL had to move games after more than 100 players tested positive last week. The Brooklyn Nets had 10 player in Covid protocols and had to postpone games. The Nets even welcomed back Kyrie Irving to play road games only, since the unvaccinated guard can't play in New York City due to vaccine mandates. Canada already has reduced capacity for NHL games to 50-percent in an effort to reduce the spread. The Islanders defeated the Bruins, but lost to former goaltender Robin Lehner and the Vegas Golden Knights in a shootout. The Jets and Giants both lost. Again.
