Podcast appearances and mentions of Connor Hughes

The Yankees' trade deadline is already producing wildly different results. Luis Garcia Jr. looks like a massive addition and Austin Wells has quieted the catcher concerns, but Fernando Cruz's injury exposes the bullpen hole Brian Cashman failed to fill. Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash also debate whether Eugenio Suárez could still help the Yankees in October. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as Connor Hughes reveals the Jets tried to trade up for Malik Nabers and weighs whether the Jets have a legitimate path to eight wins. Plus, the Jets and Giants roster debate heats up, and Evan predicts Pete Alonso's return to Citi Field with Baltimore could turn the ballpark into an Orioles home game.

The Jets wanted Malik Nabers badly enough to explore trading up with the Giants, and Connor Hughes reveals New York had Nabers ranked as the best receiver in his draft class. Hughes explains why the Giants quickly shut the door, why the Jets believed Nabers had best-in-the-NFL upside, and whether missing out ultimately worked in their favor. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts as Hughes also lays out a path to a surprising Jets season, raises major concerns about their defense, and explains why Jaxson Dart still looks uncomfortable and needs more preseason work. Plus, the Giants' growing tension with Cam Skattebo, Odell Beckham Jr.'s roster outlook, and a heated debate over why an MLB mercy rule may eventually become inevitable.

Connor Hughes joins Evan Roberts and Shaun Morash with revealing details on how close the Jets came to pursuing Malik Nabers in the draft. Hughes explains why the Jets had Nabers ranked ahead of Marvin Harrison Jr., why the Giants shut down trade talks, and why Nabers was viewed as a potential best-in-the-NFL receiver.

Craig and CMac welcome SNY's Connor Hughes to the show to talk about everything they saw at Jets camp, what Connor thinks about New York's upcoming season, and even sneak in Craig's favorite Jaxson Dart debate.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle discuss the Knicks' opening night matchup against LeBron James' Philadelphia 76ers, their Christmas Day rematch against the San Antonio Spurs, and are joined by SNY's Connor Hughes at New York Jets camp.

Malik Nabers is recovering faster than expected, and Connor Hughes believes the Giants' optimism about a Week 1 return is justified barring a setback. But his progress also exposes the team's biggest concern: a wide receiver room that has failed to produce a clear No. 2 option. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as Hughes explains why Odell Beckham Jr. still has to earn his roster spot, how John Harbaugh has immediately made Giants camp feel more professional, and why Abdul Carter is already taking over practices against Andrew Thomas. The Giants may have raised their floor, but their passing game still depends heavily on Nabers getting healthy.

Malik Nabers is progressing faster than expected, but the Giants' optimism comes with a serious warning. NFL reporter Connor Hughes explains why Nabers could contribute against the Cowboys in Week 1 barring a setback, while revealing that the rest of the wide receiver room has left plenty to be desired. Odell Beckham Jr. has endured a quiet start and is far from guaranteed a roster spot, while Abdul Carter is already wrecking practices. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they examine how John Harbaugh has immediately brought professionalism and raised the Giants' floor. They also react to Tony Romo being placed on leave by CBS and debate whether Baker Mayfield could become the stabilizing quarterback the Jets desperately need.

With NFL Draft day here, the focus shifts fully to the New York Jets and New York Giants as the stakes reach a boiling point. Insider Connor Hughes joins to break down what each team is really thinking, cutting through the smokescreens and revealing how decisions at the top of the draft could define both franchises for years to come. From the Jets weighing defensive impact versus immediate production to the Giants navigating multiple paths with two premium picks, the conversation dives into strategy, roster building, and the unpredictability of draft night. The discussion highlights why positional value, long term vision, and even behind the scenes evaluations can shift everything, giving a clear picture of how quickly plans can change once the clock starts.

Taking Caleb Downs at No. 5 could give the Giants the cleanest blue-chip defender in this draft after moving on from Dexter Lawrence, but it could also cost them the trade-down capital this roster still badly needs. If the Giants are really locking onto Downs, are they making the right bet or leaving too much value on the table?Follow the show on Spotify so you do not miss our draft fallout coverage, and if you are listening on Apple Podcasts, please leave a 5-star rating and review to help more Giants fans find the show.In this draft-eve episode, Drew and Rob open with the latest Giants smoke around Caleb Downs, the Connor Hughes report that New York is targeting him, the growing trade-down chatter from No. 5, and the cooler buzz around Sonny Styles. They also get into why Jordyn Tyson keeps hovering around the Giants at No. 10, and whether that public interest feels real or more like a setup for another move.From there, the show turns into the annual full first-round mock draft, done without trades, to map out exactly how the board could squeeze or help the Giants tomorrow night. Pick by pick, Drew and Rob walk through how the Raiders, Jets, Cardinals, Titans, Browns, Chiefs, and everyone else could shape New York's options before the Giants ever get on the clock at 5 and 10. The bigger question hanging over the whole mock is simple: if Downs is one of only two true blue-chip players in the class, should the Giants just stay put and take the best defender available, or is this the exact kind of draft where trading back would do more for the roster than forcing one premium safety pick?It is a full draft-night-eve Giants debate with real stakes, real scenarios, and a full Round 1 board built around the choices that could define what Joe Schoen and John Harbaugh do next.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

What started as a contract dispute has quickly turned into a franchise-shaping storyline, raising questions about leadership, culture, and the team's long-term direction. At the same time, concerns about Juan Soto's calf injury add another layer of intrigue to the New York sports landscape. Evan and Tiki and Connor break down why Lawrence's situation escalated, what his true market value could be, and how the Giants might resolve it before things spiral. They also dive into potential draft strategies at number five, including the growing buzz around key prospects and whether the team should prioritize defense, offense, or long-term upside. The conversation explores how this offseason could redefine expectations for both the Giants and Jets moving forward.

With the NFL legal tampering period just days away, Connor Hughes joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber to break down what could be a pivotal week for the New York Jets. The biggest question facing the franchise remains quarterback. Are the Jets seriously considering Kyler Murray if he becomes available? Connor explains why the team hasn't ruled anyone out, how new head coach Aaron Glenn is approaching the position, and why Murray's talent might not match the culture the Jets are trying to build. The discussion also dives into the Jets' broader strategy at QB. Instead of chasing a splashy move, the team may opt for a more practical approach: bringing in veteran options while drafting a developmental quarterback later in the draft. Connor outlines why someone like Tanner McKee could make sense, how much influence offensive coordinator Frank Reich will have on the decision, and why there simply may not be a perfect solution this offseason. It's a brutally honest look at the Jets' quarterback dilemma and why the franchise may be forced to kick the can down the road one more year as they search for their long term answer.

With the NFL's legal tampering period set to begin Monday, Connor Hughes joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber to preview what could be a wild start to free agency across the league. The conversation quickly turns to the biggest question facing the New York Jets: who will be their quarterback in 2026? Connor breaks down the team's wide-open approach at the position, why they haven't ruled out Kyler Murray, and why he personally believes signing the former Pro Bowler could be a disaster despite the talent and bargain price tag. The guys also discuss how new head coach Aaron Glenn wants a culture-first quarterback, what kind of influence offensive coordinator Frank Reich will have in the decision, and why a name like Tanner McKee might actually make more sense for the Jets' long-term plan. Plus, Connor shares insight into what the New York Giants could do in free agency, potential roster turnover, their interest in running backs, and why the team has zero intention of trading star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence despite speculation. From quarterback uncertainty to a franchise trying to reset its identity, this deep dive sets the stage for a massive week across the NFL.

After Jermaine Johnson was dealt, rumors swirl that Kayvon Thibodeaux could be next. Shaun and Tiki react to Connor Hughes' report from the Combine, debating whether Kayvon is truly expendable or still a crucial piece of a dominant pass-rush rotation. They discuss his production drop, injury concerns, draft expectations, and why great Giants defenses always featured waves of edge rushers. Plus, what kind of return would actually make sense? The guys explore potential player-for-player scenarios, including linebacker Tremaine Edmunds and tight end Sam LaPorta, while callers weigh in on leadership, run defense struggles, coaching impact, and whether trading Kayvon for picks would be a massive mistake.

The Jets rumor mill hits a new level when reports surface that New York reached out to Jon Gruden, and the crew immediately connects the dots to a bigger, messier question: is this really Aaron Glenn's show, or is Woody Johnson still lurking with “suggestions” that can shake the whole building? Connor Hughes joins to explain what he's hearing from inside the organization, why the Jets' coaching plan has felt scattered, and how quickly a bad start could turn any “big name” hire into instant chaos. Along the way, the conversation digs into how toxic the Jets' reputation has become around the league, why the staff changes caught people off guard, and why the franchise feels like it's stuck in a never ending cycle of headlines, embarrassment, and “trust us” messaging. If Gruden turned them down once, does that make it even more likely the Jets come crawling back later, especially if the season goes sideways again? And if the Jets keep operating like this, what does that say about who's really steering the ship?

Evan lays out his blunt read on the Jets reaching out to Jon Gruden: it feels less like a coordinator search and more like a preview of what Woody Johnson might do when Aaron Glenn is gone. To separate paranoia from reality, the show brings in Jets reporter Connor Hughes to explain what he's hearing inside the building, how “hands off” Woody really is, and why a name like Gruden almost certainly touched ownership at some level. Connor details how the Jets' staff plan has shifted in real time, why candidates believed the defensive coordinator job was traditional before Aaron Glenn decided he wanted to call plays, and how the process spiraled from big-name interviews into a lesser-known hire with Glenn essentially running the defense. On offense, he explains the original plan to keep Tanner Engstrom in place with a veteran “head coach of the offense,” why firing him complicates things, and why Frank Reich is trending as the likely answer once the required interview process plays out. The bigger takeaway is the one Jets fans can't escape: the organization is getting mocked league-wide, the timeline to get a staff and quarterback plan in order is shrinking fast, and any Gruden connection is gasoline on a situation that already feels toxic. The segment then pivots to the Giants, where optimism is rising under John Harbaugh and the OC opening is suddenly one of the most attractive springboards in the league. Finally, the show reacts to fresh Browns drama involving Jim Schwartz, adding another dose of “what are they doing?” dysfunction to a day that already has plenty of it.

Connor Hughes joins the show to deliver a deep dive into why momentum is building toward John Harbaugh becoming the next head coach of the New York Giants. Connor explains why the process will take time despite clear interest, how the Rooney Rule factors into the timeline, and why Harbaugh has quickly separated himself from the rest of the field. The conversation digs into the power dynamic between Harbaugh and Joe Schoen, whether ownership would reshape the front office to land a proven coach, and how Harbaugh's presence would immediately change decision making inside the building. Connor also addresses competition from other potential openings, why the Giants are viewed as the most desirable vacancy, and whether candidates like Kevin Stefanski remain realistic alternatives. The interview wraps with expectations if Harbaugh is hired, from short term win projections to long term culture change, and Connor ultimately makes his call that all signs point toward Harbaugh and the Giants coming together sooner rather than later.
