Vikings Need Defensive Youth: Linebacker Outlook, Combine Questions, and Tribute to Rondale Moore — Dave and Darren react to Team USA beating Canada for Olympic hockey gold, then shift to Vikings offseason topics as the NFL Combine begins. They emphasize the defense is aging (including Harrison Smith, Jonathan Allen, Javon Hargrave, Andrew Van Ginkel, Eric Wilson, and Blake Cashman nearing 30) and argue Minnesota should use its four top-100 picks in the 2026 draft to add young, cheap defensive talent. They review the linebacker groups: the Van Ginkel–Greenard–Dallas Turner edge trio is strong but lacks proven depth, while inside linebacker is stable with Cashman but hinges on whether the Vikings re-sign free agent Eric Wilson or replace him via free agency/draft amid broader depth concerns. They question why Kevin O'Connell and Rob Brzezinski are not scheduled for national podium sessions at the Combine, suggesting the team may be controlling exposure to tough questions. They also note combine-week rumor areas to watch (QB chatter, Jordan Addison trade buzz, and Maxx Crosby possibly landing with NFC North rivals). The episode ends with a tribute to Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore, who was found dead at 25 in Indiana, later reported as a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and a message encouraging people to check in on others. 00:00 USA Wins Olympic Hockey Gold + Show Kickoff 00:20 NFL Combine Week & Vikings Defense Aging Problem 03:59 Theme 1: Getting Younger — Why 2026 Draft Could Be Defense-Heavy 15:43 Do the Vikings Need to Draft Safety/CB Early?

Hour 3 is all over the map in the best way. First, the crew reacts to Brian Cashman making a brutal mistake while recapping last season, calling it the “ALCS” and setting off an argument about whether it is a harmless slip or proof the Yankees operate with zero urgency. Big Mac steps in with the defense, Evan and Sean push back, and the phones weigh in. Then it turns to Barack Obama's viral alien comments from a lightning round, why the follow-up never happened in the moment, and the clarification that came after. And of course, Sean Morash brings Cinco de Luncho, drafting the Top 5 Non Big Four Sporting Events he would want to attend, including Daytona, the Kentucky Derby, the Waste Management Open, Japanese baseball, and an SEC rivalry game at No. 1.
Brian Cashman set off a firestorm after a stunning press conference blunder, appearing to misremember how the Yankees' season actually ended. Did the GM really think they reached the ALCS, or was it just a harmless slip of the tongue? Evan and Tiki debate whether this mistake exposes a deeper problem inside the organization: complacency, revisionist history, and a lack of urgency despite falling short of championship expectations. Plus, the guys loop in Chris “Big Mac” McMonagle for a rapid-fire verdict, compare the controversy to similar front-office comments across sports, and open the phones to frustrated fans weighing in on accountability, leadership, and what this says about the Yankees' direction heading into the new season. Is this outrage justified or classic overreaction in the Bronx?
After a week off, the boys are back at it on a holiday Monday feelin' rested, relaxed and ready to talk some hockey in this extended Riel Day episode!We'll tell you about the 1971-72 Bruins, a squad the seemed to be on the cusp of a dynasty with 3 finals appearances and 2 titles. Lead by the likes of Espo, Orr, Bucyk, Sanderson, Stanfield, McKenzie, Cashman, Westfall and ol' stiched up Gerry Cheevers between the pipes, this team was a real wagon until the league caught up to them, and #4's career was cut short. They wouldn't drink from Lord Stanley again until beating the Canucks in 2010-11!In the second, we've all sorts of Olympic hockey to touch on as both the Canadian Men's and Women's teams chase gold in Italy. The men's squad has been very business like thus far, and seems primed for a finals appearance provided that the 'tendys hold up. The women's team has certainly missed Marie Phillip-Poulin up front, but appear to be back on track for a golden matchup vs their rivals from the US.In the third, we recap a great day for hockey at Apuckalypse, plus detail the final week of the GHL season which hits this week. And co-host Jared talks about heading to Hali for an excellent donair and some Moosehead's action!
For 2 decades, a CIA project ran secret mind control experiments on unsuspecting Americans. Many believe their quest for human behavior modification never truly ended — it only changed its name and went underground. Project MKUltra, active from 1953 to 1973, utilized LSD, electroshock therapy, hypnosis, and total isolation in tests tied to more than 80 institutions. While the program was officially designed to counter Soviet brainwashing, it resulted in the testing of dangerous tactics on prisoners, soldiers, and civilians—often without their knowledge or consent. But we may never know the true depravity of its medical abuses: before the program was exposed, CIA Director Richard Helms ordered the destruction of most records from MKUltra.

The Great Knicks Debate: The hosts push back against Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton's theory that the Knicks should avoid the Pistons until the Conference Finals. They argue why facing a dangerous team early—before they earn postseason "battle scars"—is actually the smarter path. Office Controversy: Sean alleges that a coworker "stole" his specific critique of Brian Cashman's spring training wardrobe (likening him to a World Series of Poker player), sparking a debate on radio etiquette and borrowed opinions. Road Game Realities: The crew and callers trade war stories about the dangers of being a visiting fan in hostile environments like Philadelphia and Dallas—specifically the eerie silence (and occasional flying beer bottles) that follows a road team victory. The Dunk Contest & Giants Updates: A look at why even $1 million offers to stars like Kobe and LeBron couldn't fix the Dunk Contest, followed by injury recovery timelines for Giants players Cam and Malik Nabers.
Are the Knicks already disqualified from being a true title contender? Evan, Tiki, and Sean debate Phil Jackson's famous 40-20 rule, why the Knicks falling short might matter, and why this season's parity could blow the whole “rule” up anyway. Plus, the crew gets into whether you'd rather see Detroit early or late in the playoffs, stories from Giants fans traveling to Packers games, and a hilarious detour into the Cashman wardrobe take that may have been “borrowed” by a coworker. Then it's All-Star Weekend talk and why nobody truly cares about the dunk contest anymore.
Hour 3: Brian Cashman is way too comfortable. Lindor's injury and Soto's move to left are nothing to worry about.
Mike takes your emails on the future of Jaxson Dart, Radio Row, Boone and Cashman as well the Mets at the deadline. 02:46 Yankees Built for October? 06:00 Mets as Sellers? 08:33 Pressure on NY Teams 12:20 Jaxson Dart a Star? 19:30 Radio Row and the Super Bowl #badbunny #giants #jaxsondart
Spring training is here, the Yankees are healthy, and it should feel like a celebration. Instead, Shaun Morash finds a way to sound the alarm, and it has nothing to do with the roster. His issue? Brian Cashman's “walk-in” look: hoodie, trucker hat, backpack, iced coffee, and a vibe that screams “too comfortable.” Evan and Tiki push back hard, debating whether this is a real red flag or just peak offseason nitpicking, while callers line up to either roast Shaun or agree the Yankees brand demands more professionalism. Plus, Evan spins the argument into a new idea: a weekly vote for the dumbest opinion on WFAN, and Shaun might already be the runaway favorite.
Spring training opens with good news for the New York Yankees. Everyone is healthy, no surprise injuries, and Aaron Boone confirms the roster is ready to go. So why is there outrage on Day One? The debate explodes when Brian Cashman arrives in a hoodie, trucker hat, and backpack. What starts as jokes about his Starbucks order turns into a full-blown argument about professionalism, comfort, and whether the Yankees' longtime GM has grown too comfortable in his role. Is criticizing Cashman's outfit fair, or does it distract from real issues like roster construction and accountability? Fans call in, tempers flare, and the show wrestles with what Yankees standards are supposed to look like in 2026.
With Francisco Lindor's hamate bone injury looming, the show pivots to the sudden wave of baseball injury news around the league, including Corbin Carroll and Jackson Holliday also dealing with hamate issues. The guys explain why this injury can be deceptively tricky, why power can take longer to return even after the “six week” timeline, and why Yankee fans are bracing for the next bad spring training update when Boone and Cashman meet the media. They also revisit the original “three big stories” debate, weigh Soto's move to left field against Lindor's injury as the most important headline, and take early calls from fans on what the Mets should do if Lindor is not ready. Then the conversation swings back to the Knicks, breaking down the overtime loss to Indiana, Karl-Anthony Towns disappearing, Brunson forcing it late, and the accusation that Rick Carlisle coached like he was trying to lose.
MLB's package situation is a total headache: do you need the ESPN app, what does the bundle actually get you, and why does nobody seem to know the real price? With spring training kicking off, the guys talk Big Mac's very “serious” spring training party, why this moment matters (the offseason is finally over), and whether MLB is botching the messaging to fans right before baseball returns. Plus, they rewind to the crew's Yankees offseason “wish list” from November and compare it to reality, as Cashman basically brings back the same roster. Is “Run It Back” a smart bet on internal improvement, or a lazy gamble that leaves real holes? And wait… Opening Day on Netflix? Good luck explaining that to everyone's dad.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone joins Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle on The Carton Show on WFAN for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense interview that hits every topic Yankees fans obsess over. Boone addresses long-standing rumors about Brian Cashman and analytics controlling in-game decisions, responds to criticism about accountability, and explains why he won't rewatch painful losses. Plus, Boone opens up on Aaron Judge's leadership, Giancarlo Stanton's health, Gerrit Cole's rehab, Anthony Volpe's future, bullpen struggles, running it back in 2026, and the pressure of managing the New York Yankees without a championship. A must-watch conversation during Super Bowl week as Boone heads to Tampa for spring training.
The focus shifts straight to the Yankees as Brian Cashman publicly defends the decision to bring back Trent Grisham on a one year, $22 million deal and even frames it as a bargain. The crew breaks down why that explanation is driving fans crazy and whether the logic actually holds up in today's market. The discussion turns into a deeper argument about how the Yankees build rosters, the balance between spending and flexibility, and whether veterans like Grisham are acting as smart insurance or actively blocking the development of younger players like Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones. Is this disciplined roster management or the same thinking that keeps the Yankees from fully committing to their future?
In this hour, the guys dive into the latest controversies surrounding New York sports and the NFL offseason. The Yankees & Trent Grisham Saga The show opens with a reaction to Brian Cashman's recent interview, where he doubled down on the Trent Grisham trade and contract. The Debate: Cashman calls the $22 million deal a "steal" in the current market, while the hosts debate if Grisham is merely an expensive insurance policy that blocks younger talent like Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones. The Roster Impact: Is Grisham's presence stunting the development of "The Martian," or do the Yankees need veteran depth for a World Series run? Giants Ownership & The Epstein Files The conversation shifts to the reports regarding Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and leaked emails connecting him to Jeffrey Epstein. NFL Discipline: A discussion on whether the league will punish Tisch similarly to how they handled other owner controversies, or if the lack of criminal charges protects him. Future Ownership: Speculation arises on the Koch family's minority stake and if they are positioning themselves to take over a local team in the future. Super Bowl Storylines & The "Boring" Build-Up With the Super Bowl approaching, the hosts struggle to find compelling narratives, leading to a "Top 5 Storylines" list that includes: Sam Darnold's "Middle Finger Tour." Fears of a new Patriots Dynasty. The Seahawks/Patriots revenge narrative. Stefon Diggs winning a ring before Josh Allen. 49ers practice facility conspiracy theories. The Kwesi Adofo-Mensah Firing & Paternity Leave A heated discussion regarding the firing of Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and reports citing his two-week paternity leave during training camp as a point of contention. The Contrast: The hosts compare this to Bills coach Joe Brady's comment about missing his child's birth for a game, ultimately concluding that both approaches are personal choices ("to each his own") rather than fireable offenses. NBA & MLB Notes KAT vs. The Critics: A deep dive into Karl-Anthony Towns' statistics. While he is averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds, the hosts note this is his lowest career field goal percentage and effective field goal percentage, sparking a debate on his All-Star validity vs. Pascal Siakam. Reds Sign Suarez: Reaction to Eugenio Suarez signing with Cincinnati and what that means for the Mets' reliance on Mark Vientos.

A Yankees doom caller unloads a six-point rant claiming everyone stinks Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Aaron Judge, Aaron Boone, Brian Cashman and Craig Carton absolutely unloads back on The Carton Show on WFAN. Carton mocks the caller's list, fires off rapid-fire “he sucks” reactions, calls out postseason narratives, and turns the argument into must-hear radio chaos. The show then spirals into deep Boone vs Cashman debates, whether the Yankees are truly results-driven, and if Boone's clock is officially ticking without a World Series. Plus: Carton refuses to entertain Aaron Judge injury hypotheticals, breaks down why fans overreact to October stats, roasts hoodie fashion choices, shuts down on-air burping, and completely derails into Grammys confusion, naked Justin Bieber takes, mirrors at the gym, and late-night WFAN madness.
The Yankees general manager has spoken, and we have a lot of thoughts on his assessment of the offseason, from Craig Carton strongly defending Cashman to Tommy Lugauer ripping the Yanks for essentially running it back.

Evan and Tiki kick off with the numbers behind what it feels like everyone has noticed: the NFL playoffs have been called looser, with penalties way down and offensive holding dropping dramatically. They debate whether it's simply better, cleaner teams or a deliberate “let them play” postseason emphasis, plus the rare moments when the whistle suddenly tightens and drives everyone crazy. Then it shifts back to New York sports expectations. A Yankees caller argues that being better on Opening Day actually matters and that Cashman can always patch holes at the deadline. That leads to a bigger discussion about how low the bar has gotten for Yankees fans, what upgrade they actually wanted, and why the bullpen still feels like the shakiest part of the 2026 picture. Finally, the Knicks conversation turns into a full-on Giannis reality check. The guys replay his famous “is this season a failure?” press conference exchange and ask the only question that matters if he lands in New York: can that mindset survive the Knicks' championship-or-bust pressure, the media, and the fan base after a playoff loss.
Brian Cashman claims the Yankees aren't the same team, Eli won't get in the Hall, and much more
Evan and Tiki react to Brian Cashman's media session and the line that set Yankee fans off: the idea the Yankees are not “running it back.” Is he right, just terrible at saying it, or both? The guys debate whether last year's trade deadline basically was the Yankees' offseason, what's still missing without a true Soto replacement, and how the team should handle Anthony Volpe's rehab and role when he returns. Then the calls roll in, from prospect trade debates and “go get a bat” arguments, to a Mets tangent on Eugenio Suárez vs. giving Mark Vientos one last runway. Hour wraps with Knicks trade chatter and Mikal Bridges' brutally honest “entitlement” quote as Giannis rumors hang in the background. Time Codes 00:00 — Cashman meets the media, Yankees fans immediately annoyed 01:18 — “Just say it's similar” vs Cashman over-explaining why they're different 02:23 — The blunt truth: “They added ONE player” and it feels like the same roster 04:41 — Bigger issue: 15 years, one World Series run, and no Soto replacement 05:15 — Tiki's counter: Cashman is right, just said it in the worst way 05:55 — The trade deadline as the real “offseason” and why that's actually unique 07:03 — AL East framing: Blue Jays, Red Sox, and why “track record” matters 10:40 — “Leave no doubt” offseason vs Yankees budgeting, Dodgers standards, and choices 16:24 — Volpe update: “110%” and “deploy properly” sounds like a role change 18:49 — Call: Yankee fan talks trades, Dominguez and Spencer Jones, and patience 24:30 — Call: Mets tangent, Kyle Tucker opt-out mechanics and the Suárez debate 26:12 — Mark Vientos “final stand” season and why a one-year vet could block him 28:05 — Call: Paul Skenes trade fantasy, prospect “forbidden fruit,” and control years 31:17 — The “pied-à-terre” detour and why it turns into a comedy bit 35:42 — Call: Yankees flexibility, then Knicks trade anxiety after a win 40:14 — Mikal Bridges' “entitlement” quote, being coachable, and trade-rumor pressure 43:16 — Giannis reality check: if it happens, Bridges is likely in the deal
Brian Cashman met the media and managed to do the one thing Yankee fans knew was coming but still weren't ready for. He pushed back on the idea that the Yankees are “running the same team back,” and in the process somehow made everyone even angrier. Evan and Tiki break down what Cashman meant versus how he said it, why Gerrit Cole's return is both obvious and not enough, and how the front office keeps leaning on last year's trade deadline as proof this team is different. The guys debate whether the Yankees actually improved, or just reframed the same roster with better PR, why the “growing pains” comment made no sense, and how losing Juan Soto still hangs over everything. Is Cashman technically right but emotionally tone deaf, or is this just another case of Yankees fans being sold the same story with new wording? Plus, a deeper look at roster flexibility, young players like Jason Dominguez and Spencer Jones, and why this franchise still refuses to leave “no doubt” heading into Opening Day. Featuring discussion of the New York Yankees, Brian Cashman, Gerrit Cole, Cody Bellinger, Anthony Volpe, and how this all stacks up against division rivals like the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox.
Brian Cashman's update on Anthony Volpe stands out when he says the shortstop will return at “110%” and be “deployed properly.” Evan and Tiki break down what that wording really means, why it could signal a change in how Volpe is handled, and whether the Yankees are finally moving away from force feeding him everyday reps. The discussion spills into roster flexibility, prospect patience, and a few classic Yankees fan trade fantasies.

The Carton Show takes a hard left turn from Tom Selleck jokes and Hogan's Heroes trivia into a full-blown Yankees debate. Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle react to Brian Cashman's latest comments and push back hard on angry Yankee fans screaming about “running it back.” Carton argues Cashman has built a championship-caliber roster, questions what fans actually want, and explains why winning 94 games every year isn't something to take for granted.

Evan unloads a full conspiracy theory: Rob Manfred is not mad about the Dodgers dominating baseball, he's thrilled. The idea is simple and terrifying. Let the Dodgers keep stacking stars, let fans scream “baseball is broken,” and then use that outrage to win the PR war for a salary cap the players will hate. Tiki buys it immediately, even as they admit it still might never work. From there, the focus snaps back to the Mets problem that keeps getting louder: they can “try” for Tucker, but where's the backup plan? A caller compares Cashman's quick Soto pivot to the Mets dragging their feet, and the guys dig into the bigger issue: Stearns will spend huge AAV, but refuses to go long term, which kills half the market. Then it turns into pure show chaos: Free Agent Bingo standings, Knicks misery, and Mets fans roasting the offseason, including a fake “Mets fan” troll call and the return of the “chomping at the bit” debate right before Evan teases a pivot plan that does not include Cody Bellinger.
