0:00 - The New York Knickerbockers stole Game 1 of the NBA Finals from the Spurs in San Antonio last night. What a game! Brett noticed that both teams USE THEIR DEPTH. They're playing like 10+ players a game! It's almost like that's what we wanted the NUGGETS TO DO in their first round series! This is the new NBA. Depth wins ballgames. No more shortening the rotation in the playoffs. All hands on deck.16:05 - Chris MacFarland was officially introduced yesterday as President of Hockey Operations and General Manager of the Nashville Predators. He addressed the media in Music City and was very complimentary of Joe Sakic, the Avalanche organization, and his time in Denver as a whole. When did Nashville start chatting with CMac? Were they in touch during the playoffs? Does that matter?He also spoke very highly of Jared Bednar and the coaching staff overall. Does that sound like a guy who would've fired Bedsie?34:31 - Russell Wilson officially announced his retirement from the NFL. He's taking his talents to CBS. He posted a retirement video on social media yesteray and it's vintage Russ cornball tomfoolery. Russ gon Russ. Let's ride.
0:00 - Bill Simmons had some...STRONG words about the Nuggets and their unwillingness to spend in order to keep the roster together. Cool, man. But Bill clearly doesn't understand the intricacies of the CBA. I know we sound like a broken record, but the more you spend, the more your hands are tied. The Nuggets are very limited in what they can do this offseason especially without any good draft picks to offer up in a trade package.15:20 - Avs GM Chris MacFarland has been given permission to speak to the Nashville Predators. Could this be the end of CMac's tenure in Denver?37:50 - Oh, by the way...Yul Brynner was a total beefcake. Oh, by the way...a softball player for Texas has a very strangle superstition. She eats ladybugs for good luck. Oh, by the way...rankings have been released for all 48 teams in the World Cup. Where does the US rank?
0:00 - Chris MacFarland has been given permission to speak to the Nashville Predators about a job. They'd have to beat GM. They'd have to make him something even better than that. Maybe that's why the end of season presser hasn't happened yet. It'd be pointless to put CMac up there in front of the media if he's leaving for Nashville anyway.15:28 - It's crazy that the Spurs are already in the NBA finals. They drafted Wemby, added some pieces around him, and made the NBA Finals in his 3rd year. Usually, teams have to lose before they can win. It's the process. You have to suffer! Feel the pain! You can't skip steps, so the old adage goes. Well, the Spurs skipped steps and made the finals pain-free. 32:14 - The Stanley Cup Final begins tonight. Can the Hurricanes do it? Can they end their 20-year cup drought and vanquish the evil Golden Knights?Also, was last year's Broncos season a fluke? Do you think they can win 14 games again, or come close? What other teams had flukey outlier-type seasons last year?

From the shocking news that Robert Kraft was snubbed (and why Craig actually loves it) to the "watered down" state of the building, the gloves are off. But that's not all the New York Giants just made a major move by hiring Matt Nagy as Offensive Coordinator, and the fans are already panicking. Is Nagy just a "Chicago retread" with a stench that won't wash off, or is he the secret weapon John Harbaugh needs?

It's a Football Monday and New York is buzzing for all the wrong reasons. Jerry and CMac dive into a wild Sunday where the Giants managed a win that many fans actually hated, while the Jets were utterly embarrassed by the Patriots. Jerry claims there's a light at the end of the tunnel for Big Blue, but CMac isn't buying it—he's too busy railing against "meaningless wins" and the draft picks they cost. From the coaching hot seat of Aaron Glenn to Jaxson Dart's rollercoaster development and a deep dive into why the Jets have actually gone backward, we're breaking down the wreckage of the 2025 season. That and all the action from C-Lo.
Jerry and CMac float a wild idea: Aaron Glenn hiring Daboll to fix the next Jets QB. But the fans aren't buying it—the phone lines are melting down with one simple question: "When will we enjoy football again?"
The Jets were an embarrassment. Jerry breaks down a historic lack of effort while CMac deconstructs the Aaron Glenn myth—from "culture builder" to "grounds for firing."
CLo kicks things off with Deonte Banks' wild TD return before we dive into a weekend of heartbreak and blowouts. CMac takes aim at former players who don't understand the "tanking" struggle, the Jets get embarrassed (again), and Josh Allen's missed connection in Buffalo leaves the Bills reeling. Plus: Is it "pink slip" season for the Steelers or Ravens?
Jerry explains why your favorite team's draft board doesn't matter as much as the headset, while CMac burns down the "late-season momentum" narrative. Is there actually a light at the end of the tunnel? CMac says don't bet on it.
Jerry and CMac look back at the moment the Giants' season took a turn. From the Jaxson Dart hype to the Denver interception that sparked the collapse, we're pinpointing exactly when this "playoff team" came unraveled.
Another "banner day" for New York football. The Jets get smoked, the Giants win a game the fans wanted them to lose, and CMac is officially at his breaking point. We're breaking down Deonte Banks' heroics, Jaxson Dart's flashes of hope, and why Jerry thinks there's light at the end of the tunnel while CMac sees total darkness. Plus: Is the loser of Steelers-Ravens getting fired?
Jerry and CMac aren't holding back after a weekend that saw the Jets reach a new low and the Giants win a game their fans wanted them to lose. From Jerry's "grounds for firing" verdict on the Jets' lack of effort to a wild pitch to hire Brian Daboll as a savior for the next New York QB, we're dissecting the disaster. Plus: Jaxson Dart's strong game and a 49ers/Bears shootout.
Jerry and CMac trace the Giants' rise and fall—from the Jaxson Dart "playoff" hype to the Denver interception that changed everything. We're breaking down the Jets' "unwatchable" defense, Aaron Glenn's failing culture, and CMac's question about why NFL players never actually use their mouthguards. Plus, Jaxon Dart looking better out there, a mysterious "alien" noise in the studio, and a heartfelt tribute to 104-year-old WWII veteran Dominick Critelli's legendary saxophone anthem.
Jerry and CMac break down the Giants' victory over the Raiders—a win that may have just cost them the #1 overall pick. While Jerry looks for light at the end of the tunnel, CMac is fuming over the "meaningless momentum" and the report that Joe Schoen is safe through the draft. Plus, the Jets reach a historic low against the Patriots, the 49ers survive a Sunday night thriller, and we ask: Has Aaron Glenn shown a single redeeming quality as a head coach?
CLo drops a report that Schoen will remain at the helm through the draft, but CMac is far from convinced. Is Big Blue making a bad situation worse by kicking the can down the road?
C-Lo is back as CMac finds a rare silver lining in Jaxson Dart's "smarter" play during the Giants' win. We're breaking down the "mouthguard mystery," Myles Garrett's reaction to the Steelers, and the coming Saturday night showdown between the Seahawks and 49ers for the NFC's #1 seed.
