2026 NFC South Season Preview and Sports Stadium Songs Draft feat. Kenny Cashman by He's Done It!

Brian Cashman's trade deadline is looking better offensively, but the Yankees' bullpen could become the decision that defines their postseason. Luis Garcia Jr. has been a massive addition, Austin Wells is finally producing like a functioning major league catcher, and the lineup is clicking. But Fernando Cruz's devastating injury exposes the risk of Cashman failing to add a reliever, leaving major questions about how the Yankees will get the final nine outs in October. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as they debate whether Eugenio Suarez should be added off waivers, George Lombard Jr.'s alarming error streak, and whether Anthony Volpe could actually become part of the conversation again. Plus, Mike Breen tells an incredible story about celebrating the Mets' famous 1986 World Series comeback from inside the Red Sox radio booth.

The Yankees' offense is clicking, and Brian Cashman's deadline moves are looking better by the day. Luis Garcia Jr. has been a huge addition, while Austin Wells is making the decision not to add a catcher look justified. But Fernando Cruz's injury has exposed the bigger concern: Cashman failed to reinforce the bullpen, and the Yankees may enter October scrambling to figure out who gets the final nine outs.

Good Villains is an odyssey into the minds of America's most polarizing figures—those who blur the line between icon and outcast.It begins with an unexpected encounter with Ye (formerly Kanye West) in late 2022, shortly after his billion-dollar empire collapsed and his presidential ambitions spiraled into chaos. What unfolds is a journey across the country, as author Shane Cashman gains unprecedented access to controversial cultural figures such as Alex Jones, Kari Lake, and Riff Raff—culminating in a harrowing profile of a woman at the center of a viral human trafficking controversy. These are not easy stories. They are intimate, unflinching portraits of the people who provoke, polarize, and challenge the mainstream narrative.At once cultural investigation and personal memoir, Good Villains asks what happens when a journalist steps inside the blast radius of fame, infamy, and digital hysteria, as Cashman embeds himself deeper in the lives of the infamous and becomes part of the story he set out to chronicle. Good Villains is a meditation on what it means to be adored, condemned, and obsessively watched in the modern world. Cashman trespasses into the upper echelon of America's celebrity and politics and sends back a dispatch from the center of a culture in collapse—where the most vilified figures hold a mirror up to the world and its flaws. The result: a gripping, dramatic look at cancel culture, fame, and the media machine told with journalistic detail and exceptional style.https://amzn.to/4iazYJ3Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Hour 1: Brian Cashman continues to beat around the bush with the Yankees injured players. The NFL is finally back (kinda).

Evan Roberts has finally surrendered on the Yankees winning the American League East. After two months of lifeless offense, mounting injuries and a growing deficit behind the Rays, Evan declares the division race over and predicts the Yankees are headed for the wild card. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts, and he refuses to concede, arguing that Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and a softer September schedule could fuel one final charge. The frustration explodes over Aaron Boone's decision to remove Luis Garcia Jr. from a close loss, leaving Ali Sánchez to bat with the game on the line. Evan and Shaun debate whether Boone misunderstood Brian Cashman's plan for Ben Rice, whether Cashman failed to add enough offense at the deadline and why Trent Grisham cannot remain the leadoff hitter. Plus, Evan makes a stunning prediction about the next New York team to win its division.

Brian Cashman's handling of Ben Rice comes under fire as Evan Roberts argues the Yankees should have developed him as a catcher from the beginning. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan as they debate who should replace Trent Grisham at leadoff and why the Yankees' offense falls apart when the home runs disappear.

Evan Roberts reaches a breaking point with the Yankees, admitting for the first time this season that he no longer expects them to win the AL East. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan as they debate whether the surging Red Sox can sustain their run, why the Yankees cannot win without home runs and who should replace Trent Grisham in the leadoff spot. Brian Cashman's handling of Ben Rice comes under fire, while Anthony Volpe's future is reduced to a possible platoon role at second base. Evan also unveils “Head to Bed” for the Yankees' late-inning bullpen, Yordan Alvarez's Triple Crown chase gains steam, and concerns emerge about the Bills, Jets and Rams before another chaotic edition of “New Team, Who Dis?”

Brian Cashman's failure to add a reliever at the trade deadline leaves the Yankees taking a dangerous gamble with a bullpen full of uncertainty. Evan Roberts calls the decision unacceptable for a championship contender, while Tiki Barber argues that Cashman had to trust his process rather than overpay or make a reckless gut call. The concerns only grow after Clarke Schmidt experiences forearm cramping during a short rehab outing, potentially disrupting the Yankees' plan to move surplus starters into relief roles. Evan, Tiki and Shaun Morash debate whether Cashman protected too many prospects, how much faith the team can place in its current arms and whether holding onto Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler proves patience was the right approach.

Gio got a laugh out of C-Mac interviewing Brian Cashman on The Carton Show yesterday. Gio felt good about most of Cashman's answers except for the one about not acquiring a catcher.

C-Lo starts with George Lombard Jr.'s home run in his big league debut. Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman were very excited. Craig and C-Mac sang a Cashman song yesterday but not when Cashman was on with them. C-Mac apologized for interrupting Cashman. Cashman didn't answer a question about kicking the tires on a Francisco Lindor trade. Gio jokes that Keith Hernandez sounds like he's always close to saying something he should not on the Mets' broadcasts.

With Boomer away, Gio and Jerry break down George Lombard Jr.'s dream MLB debut, C-Mac's Brian Cashman interview, massive NFL contract extensions, and reports of tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. The guys evaluate Giants training camp concerns surrounding Jaxson Dart, debate whether Pittsburgh's Primanti Brothers is actually worth the hype, and react to Keith Hernandez's broadcast gold. Plus, C-Lo delivers updates on Kodai Senga's move to the bullpen, while Gio opens up about a show-wide deep dive into sleep paralysis, his Pittsburgh Dancing with the Stars memories, and a terrifying trip where he was robbed at machete point.

Gio and Jerry host with Boomer away, kicking off with George Lombard Jr.'s dream debut. Gio laughs at C-Mac interviewing Brian Cashman, leading to a breakdown of Cashman's catcher stance, C-Mac's quick "thank you" audio, and Gio figuring out why Yankees fans are angry. C-Lo delivers an update on Lombard's homer alongside Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman's excitement, followed by Craig and C-Mac's Cashman song, C-Mac's interruption apology, and Cashman dodging a Francisco Lindor trade question. The guys then hit Keith Hernandez's broadcasting edge, Freddy Peralta's Rays debut, and John Harbaugh scolding Jaxson Dart. Finally, Stephen Waldron's vacation leads to Gio sharing his worst guy trip ever: getting robbed at machete point in the Dominican Republic.

Chris McMonigle is not holding back on the Yankees and Brian Cashman's performance at the trade deadline, ripping the GM for only adding Luis Garcia Jr. and Heliot Ramos while AL East rivals like the Red Sox and Rays both beefed up at catcher, New York's biggest need. C-Mac sounds off on what he considers to be Cashman's worst deadline ever, how the Yankees will configure their roster now that Ramos and Garcia are in the fold, and try to make sense of how the Yanks did not add a catcher. News also broke during recording that the Yankees are calling up top prospect George Lombard Jr. and sending down Anthony Volpe and Jasson Dominguez. Plus, reactions to a crushing loss against the Cardinals, the bullpen implosion, and Garcia's instant impact.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS9:48 - Chris goes off on what he calls Brian Cashman's worst trade deadline, perhaps ever. He expresses utter disbelief that the team didn't acquire a starting-caliber catcher or an extra relief pitcher.20:59 - BREAKING NEWS: George Lombard Promoted! Reacting live to a report from Jack Curry, McMonigle breaks the news that prospect George Lombard is being called up to the majors immediately.31:51 - Official word comes down that Anthony Volpe and Jasson Dominguez are being optioned to Triple-A. Chris analyzes what this means for the infield and theorizes that Lombard will take over as the everyday shortstop.41:22 - Was the front office's passive trade deadline dictated by Aaron Judge's injury status?. McMonigle theorizes that the Yankees' lack of aggression signifies they just want to survive until October, rather than overextend themselves for a World Series push now.54:14 - Chris hands out a "D-" grade for the Yankees' trade deadline moves. Despite his deep frustration, he reminds fans that the season isn't over and the team is still positioned for a playoff run.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle wonder how much longer Anthony Volpe has as a member of the Yankees' organization, with Big Mac saying he'll root for him for as long as he's on the roster. Craig realizes that he's never worked with a worse-dressed group of professionals in his life.

Craig Carton asks Chris McMonigle why he interrupted Brian Cashman during their interview on WFAN's The Carton Show, with the duo doling out a final ruling on whether or not Big Mac committed a social faux pas -- or if other hosts are on his case unnecessarily.

Brian Cashman's refusal to pay a trade-deadline premium has Shaun Morash furious that the Yankees wasted another chance to strengthen Aaron Judge's championship window. Evan Roberts pushes back on blaming Hal Steinbrenner, arguing the failure to add a catcher was Cashman's baseball decision, while Tiki Barber weighs whether the so-called Yankees tax justified standing pat.

Brian Cashman's evasive Aaron Judge update sends Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash into a furious debate over whether the Yankees have any idea when their captain will return. Shaun believes Cashman opened the door to Judge missing the season, while Evan argues the organization is not hiding anything and simply has no answers. Tiki says the bigger issue is the front office's complete lack of urgency as the playoff clock keeps shrinking.

Brian Cashman's underwhelming deadline sparks a bigger debate about how far the Yankees' standard has fallen. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash examine whether simply reaching the postseason has become acceptable for a franchise that once lived by World Series or bust. The conversation turns to Cashman's growing reluctance to trade prospects, the failures of Anthony Volpe and Jason Dominguez, and the success stories of Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler that complicate the argument. They also question how much Aaron Judge's absence should excuse the Yankees' struggles before reacting to a setback for Jets rookie Kenyon Sadiq that could cost him valuable training camp time.

Brian Cashman's vague Aaron Judge update leaves Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees have no real idea when, or whether, their captain will return this season. Shaun argues Cashman opened the door to Judge missing the year, while Evan dismisses the conspiracy theories and believes the organization is simply stuck without answers. Tiki identifies the larger problem: Cashman and Aaron Boone continue to speak without the urgency Yankee fans feel as the playoff clock keeps ticking.

Shaun Morash blasts Brian Cashman for an “insulting” Yankees trade deadline, arguing that failing to add a major-league catcher or reliever showed zero urgency while the Red Sox and Rays improved. Evan Roberts agrees that leaving the deadline without a catcher was unacceptable, though he still believes the Yankees can contend. Tiki Barber pushes back on the harshest conclusions while questioning where the team's momentum is headed. The frustration peaks with George Lombard Jr.'s promotion. Shaun believes the Yankees deliberately waited until after the deadline to call up their top prospect as a way to distract fans from Cashman's failures, turning an exciting debut into another example of organizational dysfunction.

Shaun Morash rank the franchise's most disappointing prospects of the last 20 years, from Gary Sánchez and Clint Frazier to Greg Bird, while debating how much blame belongs to the players and how much falls on the organization. Brian Cashman's deadline strategy also comes under scrutiny after the Yankees failed to add a reliever for the first time in years. The crew identifies a clear shift away from short-term rentals, questions whether that philosophy hurt a legitimate contender and gives Cashman credit for developing Ben Rice and Cam Schlittler. Plus, Shaun's growing loyalty to John Harbaugh sparks another Giants debate.

Brian Cashman's trade deadline leaves the Yankees facing serious questions about their World Series chances. Shaun Morash unloads on the organization for failing to acquire a major-league catcher or another reliever while division rivals improved, and Evan Roberts agrees that leaving the deadline without addressing those needs was unacceptable. Tiki Barber pushes back on some of the harshest criticism, but even he acknowledges the Yankees are stagnating. The frustration intensifies with George Lombard Jr.'s perfectly timed promotion, which Shaun sees as an attempt to distract fans from an underwhelming deadline. Evan and Tiki also debate Cashman's growing reluctance to trade prospects, Anthony Volpe's uncertain future, the decision not to use Ben Rice at catcher, and whether Aaron Judge can realistically return in time to save the season.

Best case scenario is they win a World Series and he leaves, but what if they don't win again?

Gio and Jerry kick off debating how the Brian Cashman era will eventually end and reflecting on his Yankees career, with Jerry doubting Cashman ever gets fired. Gio touches on the Dodgers having Rob Reiner's kids throw out a first pitch, followed by John Harbaugh discussing the Giants' off-day activities in Virginia and Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak celebrating a roster with "no turds." Next, the Moment of the Day features Gio responding to Katie Nolan's take on Boomer.

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry break down the MLB trade deadline, assessing the Yankees' moves, return timelines for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and the Mets' deadline teardown. Gio addresses Craig Carton's take on Katie Nolan, vents about his wife's birthday gift routine, and obsess over a minor league raccoon promotion while C-Lo updates on Luis Garcia Jr.'s bittersweet Yankee debut, Trump on NIL, and the Yanks' loss to the Cardinals. Plus, Aaron Rodgers goes after Fauci, ESPN, and Tom Brady on Pat McAfee, prompting Gio to question ESPN's identity. Finally, the guys debate how the Brian Cashman era will eventually end, hit NFL camp updates from John Harbaugh and Klint Kubiak, and dissect 90s rock classics alongside "Hotel California."

New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman joins Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle on WFAN's Carton Show to explain the Yankees' controversial trade deadline decisions. Cashman discusses why the Yankees couldn't land Orioles star catcher Adley Rutschman, the challenges of finding bullpen help, and why the organization decided the asking prices were too high. He also gives updates on Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton's injuries, explains the decision to call up George Lombard Jr. and send Anthony Volpe to Triple-A, and responds to criticism that the Yankees lacked urgency at the deadline.

How long can Brian Cashman remain the Yankees' decision-maker if the team keeps falling short of October glory? Chris McMonigle and Craig Carton debate whether the Yankees have reached the ceiling with Cashman as GM and if the organization needs a fresh voice to finally get back to the World Series.

The Yankees looked dead in the water… until Luis Garcia delivered a huge moment in the Bronx. But after Brian Cashman stood mostly pat at the trade deadline, the bullpen collapsed and the Yankees suffered a brutal loss. Chris McMonigle and Craig Carton break down the Yankees' deadline decisions, Garcia's dramatic home run, the calls from Ryan Ruocco and Dave Sims, and whether Yankee fans have a right to be frustrated with Cashman. Plus, the guys debate if George Lombard Jr. is ready to take over as the future at shortstop.

Adley Rutschman reportedly nearing a trade to the Red Sox sends Shaun Morash into a full Yankees meltdown. With Boston closing in on New York and catcher remaining the Yankees' biggest need, Shaun calls it a disgrace that Brian Cashman could let his division rival land the deadline's most appealing option. Evan Roberts urges patience, reminding him that the deal is not complete and wondering whether Baltimore leaked the talks to pressure the Yankees into improving their offer. The deadline panic also sparks debate over Luis Garcia Jr., Luke Weaver's trade value and whether Cashman still has the urgency to build a championship roster. Plus, Cam Skattebo reveals that Giants coach John Harbaugh was not happy about his backflip.

Cody Bellinger's grade two hamstring injury could keep him out until September, turning an already battered Yankees lineup into Brian Cashman's biggest deadline crisis. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate why outfield help has become the priority, whether George Lombard Jr. should be promoted immediately and which realistic additions could keep the Yankees in the AL East race. They also clash over Anthony Volpe after his dropped pop-up overshadowed an otherwise productive game, with Evan showing rare sympathy and Shaun arguing the mistake erased everything positive. Plus, the crew explains why track and field struggles to create lasting interest and pitches televised mini golf as a surprisingly compelling alternative.

Aaron Judge's brief “I got nothing for you” injury update leaves Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber wondering whether the Yankees truly have no timetable or are hiding bad news before the trade deadline. With Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger unavailable, the pressure on Brian Cashman to transform the offense has reached a breaking point. Evan and Tiki argue that the mediocre American League should push the Yankees to be more aggressive, not less. They compare the situation to the 2015 Mets, debate whether one blockbuster bat or several smaller upgrades could change everything and predict Cashman will make multiple major league trades.

The Yankees won two of three against Philadelphia, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber cannot ignore the brutal reality of an offense decimated by injuries to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and now Cody Bellinger. Evan calls Sunday's group one of the most pathetic Yankees lineups he has ever seen, while Tiki warns that the organization cannot waste an elite pitching staff simply because it cannot score. Plus, Jose Caballero gets robbed by an umpire, and Reggie Jackson's mysterious social media activity sparks an unforgettable investigation.

The Yankees' offense needs an immediate jolt, and Evan Roberts is demanding that Brian Cashman call up George Lombard Jr. now. Evan argues that Jose Caballero and Anthony Volpe have already shown they are not the long-term answer at shortstop, while Lombard's hot bat and major league-ready defense make him the most exciting option available. Tiki Barber agrees with the idea but warns that a rookie could struggle under postseason pressure, while Shaun Morash believes Lombard could also solve the Yankees' problems at third base. They debate whether Volpe should be sent down, whether Lombard is being protected as a trade chip, and why waiting until September could waste the prospect's chance to transform the season.
