St. John's suffers one of the most shocking losses in program history, falling 72–40 to UConn in a complete offensive collapse. The Red Storm shot just 19% from the field (11-for-56), missed their final 24 shots, and didn't score a single field goal for the final 17+ minutes. It is officially the lowest-scoring game ever by a Rick Pitino coached team and the worst loss to UConn in school history.

Locked Up Sports welcomes New York Post St. John's beat reporter Zach Braziller for a full breakdown of the Red Storm's biggest stretch of the season.

Sal Licata joins Locked Up Sports for a must-watch conversation covering his departure from WFAN, the future of the Mets under Carlos Mendoza, and whether the Knicks' championship window is closing. Sal opens up about the WFAN decision, saying he doesn't agree with it but respects it — and confirms he will not be returning. We dive deep into the Mets, where Sal makes it clear: if the team misses the playoffs, Carlos Mendoza will be fired. He also tells fans to move on from Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo, praises David Stearns for breaking up a losing core, and predicts a bounce-back season from Francisco Alvarez. Sal also believes the addition of Marcus Semien was a strong move to improve the lineup. On the Knicks side, Sal says if they don't win a championship this year, it may be time to break up the core. This is a bold, honest, unfiltered NY sports conversation. #NYMets #NewYorkMets #WFAN #Knicks #NBA #SalLicata #LockedUpSports

The Super Bowl is over, and Locked Up Sports is breaking it all down. This wasn't the worst Super Bowl ever — but it was boring. Both quarterbacks struggled, offense never found its footing, and defense controlled the game from start to finish. The Seahawks are world champions, and their defense earned it. We react to the game, the QB play, the halftime show, and then zoom out to the bigger picture: the start of the worst stretch on the sports calendar. From now until Selection Sunday, things get thin — and we talk about how fans survive it. Honest reactions. No sugarcoating. Just sports talk the way it should be.

The NFL is more popular than ever — and that's exactly the problem. In this episode of Locked Up Sports, I'm airing my full list of grievances with the NFL. From the league's nonstop push toward an 18th regular-season game, to a Pro Bowl flag football product that's completely unwatchable, to a league that keeps telling us it “cares about player safety” while chasing billions of dollars from networks and streaming companies. The NFL dominates television ratings, but at what cost? Oversaturation. Player burnout. A watered-down product. And a league that seems more focused on the next TV deal than the long-term health of the game. This isn't anti-football — it's pro-football. And if the NFL isn't careful, they're going to love this thing to death. Tune in, agree or disagree, and let me know if I'm wrong.

On Friday the DOJ released 3 million emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein and NYG owner Steve Tisch was involved in a handful of the released emails. The emails include Tisch ordering girls from Epstein to be sent to him. Epstein inviting Tisch to his private island, and in turn Tisch hosting Epstein in his suite for a 2013 Giants home game. What does this mean for Steve Tisch? What does this mean for the Giants? We tackle all the questions as this story continues to Develop #Epsteinfiles #NYG #superbowl #NFL #SteveTisch

Championship Sunday delivered two very different games — but the same result: two teams one step away from a Lombardi Trophy. The Seattle Seahawks outlasted the Los Angeles Rams 31–27 in an NFC Championship thriller, while the New England Patriots leaned on defense to edge the Denver Broncos 10–7 in a grind-it-out AFC title game.

Seattle and the Rams just gave us an instant classic on Thursday Night Football. The Seahawks were down 16 points in the 4th quarter and somehow stormed all the way back to win 38-37 in overtime, capped by a touchdown and a game-winning two-point conversion. Seattle leaned into aggression all night with multiple two-point tries, and the comeback included a 58-yard punt return TD that flipped the momentum in a hurry.

The Queens Baseball Convention was billed as a celebration of Mets baseball — a fan fest bringing together legends, current players, media voices, and content creators. On this episode of Locked Up Sports, we break it all down. We discuss the good, including an excellent live taping of SNY's Baseball Night in New Yorkfeaturing Sal Licata, Laura Albanese, and Keith Raad, and the great energy from Mets fans and fellow content creators throughout the day. We also share thoughts on hearing from current Mets third baseman Brett Baty and what he had to say. But we also address the sad moment of the event — watching 1986 World Series Champion Jesse Orosco struggle through an interview, appearing confused, losing his train of thought, and unable to answer basic questions. As fans who grew up watching him be part of Mets history, it was tough to see and raises uncomfortable but important questions. A real, honest recap of a day Mets fans won't forget — for all the right and wrong reasons. #Mets #QueensBaseballConvention #LockedUpSports #LGM #NewYorkMets #MetsFans #SNY #BaseballNightInNY #JesseOrosco #BrettBaty #MetsCommunity #NYCSports

The New York Mets just watched their core get blown up in 24 hours. Edwin Díaz walks to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a three-year, $69 million deal, and now reports say Pete Alonso is heading to the Baltimore Orioles for five years and $155 million. On this episode of Locked Up Sports, Bob breaks down how we got here: why the Mets couldn't (or wouldn't) keep their All-Star closer and their all-time home run leader, what the Brandon Nimmo–for–Marcus Semien trade really says about David Stearns' vision, and how all of this fits next to Juan Soto's record-shattering 15-year, $765 million contract. We'll hit the fan revolt, the front office spin, and then flip it forward: if you actually wanted to improve on last year's 83–79 season, is this really the way to do it? Or is there a path where losing Alonso and Díaz is step one of a bigger plan?

The New York Giants just can't get out of their own way.

On this episode of Locked Up Sports, Bob and Brett break down everything from Jameis Winston's up-and-down performance in relief of Jaxson Dart, to a defense that once again melted in the fourth quarter, to a run game that flashed with Tyrone Tracy Jr. but couldn't carry them all the way. Then we turn the page to Week 12 in Detroit, where the Giants are more than 10-point underdogs against Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and a 6–4 Lions team looking to bounce back after a frustrating 16–9 loss in Philly. We'll hit the betting line, matchups, injury updates on Dart's concussion status, and what a realistic “path to an upset” looks like — if there even is one — as the Giants look to snap an 11-game road losing streak.

The Mets handled business on a Thursday afternoon at Citi Field, beating the Padres 6–1 behind a sharp rebound from rookie Jonah Tong and home runs from Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo.

Buffalo is coming off a wild comeback vs. the Ravens, winning 41-40 after erasing a 15-point 4th quarter deficit. The Bills are dealing with injury issues up front. Ed Oliver is ruled out. Rookie T.J. Sanders and maybe other young defenders will need to step up. The Jets, despite a narrow loss in Week 1, showed life: a strong running game (Breece Hall), good yards, a dynamic offense under Justin Fields. Betting lines favor Buffalo by about 6-7 points. The over/under is moderate (~47-48). Key matchup: how well can the Jets' front line & secondary slow down Josh Allen, both pass and run. And how will Buffalo fill the gap missing Oliver against a Jets run attack. Prediction: Seems likely Bills win a tight one but Jets cover, maybe final score around Bills 27, Jets 20 / Bills 24-21. Giants @ Cowboys Both teams enter 0-1. Giants stumbled vs. the Commanders (21-6 loss) with anemic offense. Russell Wilson is the starter for now, despite criticism and pressure, with rookie QB Jaxson Dart looming if things don't improve. Giants defense, especially the edge rushers (Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Abdul Carter), must impose themselves. Cowboys O-line has shown weaknesses, especially in pass protection. Giants could exploit that. Cowboys are also looking for improvement after a close loss to the Eagles in Week 1. Home opener helps. Cowboys favored by ~4.5-6.5 points. Giants want to avoid 0-2; plus the history leans heavily toward Dallas.

After Saturday's heartbreaking 3-2 loss to the Rangers, the New York Mets have now dropped eight straight games — their worst stretch since 2018. Rookie Brandon Sproat threw six strong, scoreless innings in his Citi Field debut, and Juan Soto smashed his 40th home run of the season, but the bullpen faltered late. Edwin Díaz couldn't close it out, giving up the go-ahead hit in the 9th to Wyatt Langford. With the loss, the Mets' lead in the NL wild-card race has evaporated: they now trail the Giants in the loss column and no longer control their postseason destiny. We break down what went wrong, look at the standings and scenarios, and assess what's left for this roster with the regular season winding down. #Mets #LGM #WildCard #MLB #NYM #Rangers #Baseball #PlayoffRace #BackwardsSlide #Heartbreak #Soto40 #BullpenMeltdown

Week One of the NFL season is in the books — and it brought drama, questions, and classic overreactions. On this episode of Locked Up Sports: New York Sports Talk, we break down the very different vibes for the Jets and Giants after opening losses. The Giants' offense once again sputters, failing to score a touchdown in a season opener for the third straight year, sparking immediate questions about the quarterback situation. Meanwhile, the Jets showed promise in a close battle with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, but still walk away with an 0-1 record. Around the league, we separate fact from fiction: Who should be worried after Week One? Who should feel optimistic? And which “overreactions” might actually be real warning signs? If you're a Jets fan, Giants fan, or just an NFL diehard, this is the perfect breakdown of Week One #NFL #Jets #Giants #LockedUpSports #NFLWeek1 #NFLPodcast
