## Resource

Malik Nabers is making the final call on whether he plays against the Cowboys, and his concern about risking his long-term career has Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber leaning toward him sitting out. Shaun Morash believes Nabers will play, while Tiki explains why the decision is as much mental as physical and how the Giants locker room would handle losing its biggest receiving weapon. The conversation then turns emotional as callers share memories of September 11 and the role New York sports played in the city’s healing. Evan and Tiki reflect on the Giants’ connection to first responders and why Mike Piazza’s unforgettable home run after 9/11 remains bigger than baseball.
