A packed Friday show begins with the Jets sinking even deeper as Justin Fields struggles again after one early touchdown drive. Boomer and Gio question how the team can keep putting him out there and what exactly the Jets are trying to accomplish the rest of the season. Jerry Recco's first update features the sounds of another Patriots win, Willie Colon declaring Fields is not an NFL quarterback, and reaction from Shane Bowen as he prepares for the Packers. Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani sweep the MVP awards, Scott Boras starts hyping Cody Bellinger, and Boomer laughs about Islanders rookie Matthew Schaefer being born the same year he started at WFAN. Hour two shifts to the Giants' head coaching search. Will they go with an experienced veteran or gamble on another coordinator. Gio sees both paths as possible and compares the situation to how the Patriots built around Drake Maye. Mike Tomlin's name surfaces, but acquiring him would take a trade. Jerry returns with more Jets misery, Dexter Lawrence reacts to Brian Daboll's firing, Mike Francesa's old Ohtani take resurfaces, and the guys talk about Barstool's Internet Invitational.

Gio reveals his new obsession with the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and jokes that this is what aging men do.

Jerry brings more Patriots Jets audio as Brock Purdy prepares to return for San Francisco. The hour ends with Gio reacting to two unnecessary apologies and a batch of fun calls. Hour four opens with the Patriots winning their eighth straight over the Jets as Drake Maye looks fully in command. The discussion turns to what the Giants need in their next head coach for Jaxson Dart and why the Jets must turn to Tyrod Taylor. Jerry's final update of the day features Justin Fields' uneven performance, Shane Bowen's comments on Daboll's firing, and Judge and Ohtani's MVP celebrations.

MVP, Ohtani takes the N.L. version, and Scott Boras is already talking up Cody Bellinger at the winter meetings.

Boomer and Gio dive deeper into the Giants coaching search. Will ownership lean on a proven veteran or roll the dice on another coordinator?

We also hear from Brock Purdy as he prepares to return for the Niners, plus reaction to Aaron Judge winning the A. L. MVP.

Amon Ra St. Brown apologized if he offended anyone with the Trump dance, and Scott Van Pelt apologized for calling Russell Wilson Mr. Limited. The phones open up for a batch of fun, random calls.

The hour opens with the Patriots extending their run to eight straight wins over the Jets as Drake Maye continues to look fully in command.

Jerry updates the latest quarterback shuffle as Brock Purdy gets set to return for the Niners, shutting down any speculation about Mac Jones stepping in. The guys react to Purdy's comments, what his return means for San Francisco's rhythm, and why Jones never really had a chance to make this a conversation.

Boomer reacts as Gio details how he got hooked and why it's now dominating his free time.

Jerry is back with the latest, opening with the sounds of yet another Jets loss and another flat outing from Justin Fields.

A caller to Chris Russo throws out a bold idea for the Giants' next head coach, and we revisit a classic Mike Francesa moment where he insisted the Yankees were fortunate they didn't land Ohtani.

Boomer and Gio debate the Giants' next move on the sideline as the search begins in earnest.
