Chris Botta, former VP of Communications for the New York Islanders, now runs an independent Blog called Islanders Point Blank which is also affiliated with Fanhouse and SNY.  Chris was with the team for 20 years, years that included Mike Milbury, John Spano and the Gang of Four (should I go on?).  So, obviously, Chris is uniquely qualified to give his thoughts on all things Islanders and to regale us with stories of the sometimes sublime, sometimes ridiculous, history of the team.

Chris was kind enough to give Sports Talk an EXCLUSIVE when he read from e-mails that he received from John Spano from Federal Prison.  The interview is 49+ commercial-free minutes in MP3 format.  You can follow Chris on Twitter, too.

As we broadcast in the shadows of their home arena and consider ourselves one of the few places where Isles fans can go to talk about their favorite team, we were fortunate to welcome Newsday's Islanders beat reporter Katie Strang for a Season Preview.  The Preview is 14+ commercial-free minutes of nothing but Islanders talk and provides a nice discussion on how the team is shaping up coming out of Training Camp.  Check out Katie's work everyday in Newsday, in her Isles Files blog and at Twitter.

In what we hope is the start of an annual tradition, New York Daily News Jets beat reporter Manish Mehta joined us for a 2010 Jets Season Preview.  The 35+ commercial-free minute conversation runs the gamut of on-field and off-field topics, and is quite thorough.

We think you'll enjoy.

In what's become a tradition dating back to 2005(!), New York Daily News Giants beat reporter Ralph Vacchiano joined us for his/our Annual Giants Season Preview.  Every aspect of the team and organization was throughly discussed and dissected in the 53+ commercial-free minute discussion.  We think you'll enjoy it.

You can catch Ralph in the Daily News, on SNY and on Sirius NFL Radio.

With September 1st upon us and the Mets season not including meaningful September games again this year, what better time then to talk Mets prospects down on the farm, right?  Jon Star of Inside Pitch Magazine joined us to discuss the Top 5 Prospects, some diamonds in the rough and to give his thoughts on the younger Mets players already in the Show.

Enjoy!  And, please take a listen again in a year or two to see just how right (or wrong) Jon was...

New Orleans native and long-time Newsday columnist/Fox News contributor Ellis Henican joined us to discuss his best seller Home Team: Coaching the Saints and New Orleans Back to Life, written with Super Bowl-winning Saints Head Coach Sean Payton. 

The  28 commercial-free minute conversation is lively and delves into just about every aspect of the book.  Suffice it to say, Coach Payton has led an interesting life.

2010 METS SEASON PREVIEW WITH ADAM RUBIN, Part 2

 

 

Long-time Mets beat reporter Adam Rubin flew up from Port St. Lucie to give us 2 commercial-free hours of nothing but Mets talk.

Adam will be moving on from the New York Daily News to another exciting, but not officially-announced place in 2 weeks.  He will remain on the Mets beat, though.

In this interview, Adam talks about how this Mets team is the closest team he has covered in his 8 years on the beat, his very nice Spring Training dinner with Omar Minaya, how things are looking up for the farm system and in a totally tongue-in-cheek moment, mentions that his new contract is actually longer than Omar's.....

In a serious moment, Adam also takes the time to thank the Daily News for all the great years that he had there, and because he was not allowed to say goodbye on his blog, gets the chance to say goodbye via our show.  But, like I said, Adam's not going anywhere.  We'll get to read his Mets coverage for many years to come.
