Hour 1: The Yankees can party for a day and then get back to chasing down the Rays. Even 4 games back the Yankees still control their AL East hopes. Aaron Judge hit his first HR since returning. The Chiefs are scary again and other Week 1 thoughts from around the NFL.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle discuss finding a flyer for Tom Coughlin's push-up competition, leading to a debate about their own physical fitness. They also examine whether the Yankees should be celebrating a wild card berth and how Aaron Boone must handle his pitching staff down the stretch.(00:01:00) Sharing Desks With Tiki(00:02:30) Coughlin's Push-Up Competition(00:07:11) Studio Pull-Up Challenge(00:08:41) Yankees Playoff Celebration Debate(00:12:14) Managing Aaron Boone's Bullpen

We break down the 49ers' victory over the Rams, covering Brock Purdy's three-touchdown performance, Myles Garrett's quiet night, and postgame reactions from Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, and Matthew Stafford. On the gridiron, we preview a crucial Jets-Titans matchup, Cooper Rush taking over for the Falcons, Frank Reich analyzing Robert Saleh's defense, and reveal our Week 1 NFL picks alongside high expectations for the Giants. Over on the diamond, we celebrate Anthony Volpe's explosive 5-RBI comeback capped by a grand slam, look ahead to the Subway Series with Aaron Boone, and mark the opening of the weekend on the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Tonight's Subway Series kickoff on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 leads off the show, followed by a preview of an ugly-looking Jets-Titans matchup where a New York loss would spell trouble ahead of three tough NFC North games. We touch on Cooper Rush starting for the Falcons. Jerry's final update brings sounds from the 49ers' win over the Rams, Christian McCaffrey's story about an Australian haircut, Sean McVay's perspective on the loss, and Myles Garrett's statless night. Aaron Rodgers drops wild comments about Shailene Woodley wanting another partner post-engagement and addresses former teammates who spoke out against him. Aaron Boone reflects on the Subway Series and 9/11, Aaron Rodgers, and we close out the week with our NFL Week 1 picks.

Bret Boone and Brad Ausmus talk about what it's like coaching for the expectations of New York and how Aaron Boone is closer to those expectations this season than people realize.

Anthony Volpe is back with the Yankees after tearing up Triple-A, but his return comes with Jazz Chisholm headed to the injured list and major questions about how Aaron Boone will use him. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Volpe should play second base, compete with Jose Caballero for at-bats, and finally settle into the utility role they believe fits him best. There is also concern about how Volpe's return could affect George Lombard Jr., who replaced him at shortstop and gave an awkward answer when told Volpe was coming back. Plus, Evan explains why he remains skeptical of Matthew Stafford and the Rams despite Stafford's massive previous season.

John Harbaugh's combative approach with the media becomes the center of another Giants debate. Evan Roberts makes clear he enjoys Harbaugh pushing back, but warns that trying to intimidate New York reporters will only make them press harder. Tiki Barber agrees that Harbaugh can handle the media however he wants, but the questions are not going away. The conversation also touches on Anthony Volpe's return and Evan's concern about how Aaron Boone will use him before turning to the physical future of football. Tiki explains why he does not expect the sport to fundamentally change despite growing concern about head injuries, emphasizing the inherent violence players accept when they choose to keep playing.

John Harbaugh showed a much sharper side with the Giants media, pushing back on questions about Darius Slayton and refusing to reveal Malik Nabers' status. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Harbaugh was simply having fun or trying to intimidate reporters, and why that strategy will not stop the New York media from pressing him for answers. The Yankees also lose Jazz Chisholm to the injured list, opening the door for Anthony Volpe's return after a dominant Triple-A stretch. Evan and Tiki debate Volpe's proper role, whether Aaron Boone can manage the situation correctly, and how his return could affect George Lombard Jr. Plus, skepticism about Matthew Stafford and the Rams, the Giants cornerback competition, and Mike Tomlin's debut at the desk.

Bret Boone sits down with Yankees bench coach, Brad Ausmus. Bret & Brad discuss the small, but important jobs that bench and assistant coaches have, how they feel about the playoff format in the new ear and why Aaron Boone should be getting more praise than he's getting.

Aaron Boone plans to pull Aaron Judge early as the Yankees ease him back without a rehab assignment, and that could create a major late-game dilemma. If Judge leaves after five or six innings, the Yankees risk replacing their biggest bat just when the most important at-bats arrive. That leads to a wild alternative: why not bring Judge into games in the fourth or fifth inning and keep him available for the finish? The debate also turns to Spencer Jones taking over in center after Trent Grisham's hamstring injury and why getting Judge and the Yankees' offense fully ready for October matters more than ever.

Aaron Judge is finally back, and the Yankees now have 19 games to turn survival into a legitimate October push. After going 45-39 without their MVP, the Yankees stayed afloat, but Tampa Bay remains four games ahead and Boston is still lurking. The debate turns to whether Judge can shake off three months without real game action quickly enough to change the AL East race. The bigger priority may be getting Judge fully ready for the postseason, especially with Aaron Boone planning to pull him early from games. Should Judge lead off to maximize his plate appearances, or should the Yankees rethink how they use him late? Plus, the lineup looks deeper with Cody Bellinger, Spencer Jones, Luis Garcia and others surrounding Judge for the stretch run.

Jerry is here and with Rob Saleh on the Jets and Frank Reich. Aaron Rodgers was on with Adam Schein and said next year he's going to hopefully be supporting his pregnant wife.

Malik Nabers' Week 1 status is suddenly a major concern for the Giants. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and Tiki remains convinced Nabers is unlikely to face the Cowboys as the star receiver works through the physical and mental hurdles of his recovery. Even if Nabers plays, expectations for his workload need to come down as the Giants prepare to lean on their run game and Jaxson Dart. The Yankees may have found an October fixture in Spencer Jones. His growth into a complete hitter has Shaun and Tiki arguing that Aaron Boone cannot push him aside when Aaron Judge returns, especially with Trent Grisham slipping. Plus, Freddy Peralta's strong outing after the Mets moved him adds another frustrating twist to his New York story.

The Jets' quarterback search could take a massive turn if a proven star becomes available. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash run through the NFL's biggest names and debate which quarterbacks could realistically land in New York. Joe Burrow has a slim but believable path, Jalen Hurts looks like an intriguing fit, and C.J. Stroud could become fascinating if Houston takes a major step backward. They also explain why Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford and other veteran options may not be worth sacrificing the Jets' three first-round picks. The conversation expands into whether Mike Tomlin could someday make the Jets more attractive, plus the pressure surrounding the Giants as John Harbaugh prepares to coach games that count. The Yankees also enter the spotlight as Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone face the only test that will truly define their season: October.

The Jets' quarterback plan is already under fire. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber question why Cade Klubnik is the only real insurance behind Geno Smith, with Tiki warning the Jets may simply have no plan if Geno goes down. They debate Jimmy Garoppolo, Will Levis and Joe Milton as alternatives, while wondering whether the franchise is repeating the same mistake it made behind Aaron Rodgers. The Mets finally give Yankees fans something to celebrate by beating Tampa Bay, only for the Yankees to waste the opportunity with an ugly loss to the Angels. Plus, Aaron Boone's bullpen decisions get defended, Trent Grisham's role comes under fire, and Spencer Jones makes a strong case to stay in the Yankees lineup every day.

Chris “Mad Dog” Russo joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber and declares the Yankees have no excuse not to reach the World Series, arguing their payroll and the state of the American League put major pressure on Aaron Boone and the organization. Russo also unloads on the Mets for letting Pete Alonso leave, putting more blame on Steve Cohen than David Stearns and raising concerns about the clubhouse dynamic involving Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Plus, Mad Dog pumps the brakes on the Jaxson Dart hype while predicting the Giants will be better under John Harbaugh, and reflects on WFAN joining SiriusXM and what he still misses about local New York sports radio.

The Yankees' season comes down to one brutal standard: reach the World Series or face another disaster. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone deserve more credit for navigating injuries and roster issues, but Evan makes clear that none of it will matter if October ends early. The postseason will ultimately decide how every move, lineup decision and deadline addition is remembered. The final stretch also features Shaun Morash's best parts of September, including John Harbaugh finally coaching meaningful Giants games and Aaron Judge nearing a return. Plus, Evan refuses to entertain Nets fans comparing Brooklyn's failed superteam to the champion Knicks, while his Mets scoreless-game streak faces a major test once football Sundays arrive.

On a new episode of "The Show," Joel Sherman is riding solo this week without Jon Heyman. Joel is joined by former Yankees, Mets reliever Adam Ottavino to discuss the "silly" Jazz Chisholm Jr controversy, what concerns him about the Yankees bullpen & shares his perspective of what it's like playing for Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman. Later, Brewers manager Pat Murphy joins Joel to discuss his team with the best record in the MLB, if they can win the franchises first ever championship, explains his decision to pull Cooper Pratt a few weeks ago and the balance they have to be weary of down the stretch with Jacob Misiorowski. 0:00 Intro 0:42 Adam Ottavino Joins The Show! 1:15 Jazz Chisholm Jr. - Red Sox Controversy 5:15 Are Yankees Following The Knicks Script? 8:30 Yankees Need To Play Cleaner Baseball 12:00 Relievers Breaking Down 18:30 Playing For Brian Cashman 22:20 Playing For Aaron Boone 25:00 Mets 27:49 Brewers Manager Pat Murphy Joins The Show! 51:06 Hit Or Error Learn more about your ad choices.

The Yankees may have slammed the door on Boston's playoff hopes, but the Rays are suddenly creating a new problem. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether the Yankees have effectively locked up the top wild-card spot, why Tampa Bay's bizarre late-game wins feel dangerous, and whether the AL East race is truly over. They also revisit Aaron Boone's controversial lineup choices against Boston, David Cone seemingly predicting Elliott Ramos' three-run homer moments before it happened, and the bigger problem with MLB replay. The hour closes with a debate over position players pitching in blowouts and whether baseball is eventually headed toward a mercy rule.

The Jets' endless quarterback search takes center stage as Joe Burrow emerges as the dream solution if Cincinnati ever makes him available. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate why trading premium draft capital for a proven franchise quarterback could beat taking another swing in the draft, while weighing Jalen Hurts, Baker Mayfield and the Jets' missed opportunities with Jaxson Dart and Tyler Shough. The conversation also turns to the Yankees taking three of four from Boston, Red Sox broadcaster Will Fleming's apology after ripping Jazz Chisholm, and whether Aaron Boone showed enough urgency. Plus, the Giants' Odell Beckham Jr. expectations, a wild Super Bowl prediction, and the Jets' long history of first-round disappointments.
