St. John's takes center stage as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the pressure surrounding the Red Storm's tournament opener and what a win or loss would mean for Rick Pitino's run in New York. They also revisit the emotional pull of redemption in sports, from historic heartbreak to championship payback, and why some losses never fully disappear unless a title follows right behind them. The conversation shifts to the NFL, where Evan and Tiki break down the growing idea of an 18-game season with players capped at 17 appearances, debating whether it is smart, unworkable, or completely against an athlete's mindset. From strategy headaches and player compensation to Giants and Jets draft talk, roster-building concerns, and a lively back-and-forth over New York sports expectations, the episode mixes serious football debate with the kind of sharp, funny chaos that drives great sports radio.

March Madness opens the conversation as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber discuss the strange mix of pain and redemption that comes with unforgettable losses, and whether a championship run can truly erase the sting of history. The early focus also turns to local tournament storylines, including St. John's, Hofstra, and LIU, as the hosts set the stage for a big day in college basketball and what New York-area fans should be watching. From there, the debate shifts hard into football as Evan and Tiki tackle the NFL's possible move to an 18-game season with players limited to 17 appearances. They break down why the idea sounds simple in theory but quickly becomes messy in practice, from locker-room mentality and player pay to lineup strategy, injury concerns, and the risk of creating games that feel forced or compromised.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the real expectation for St. John's as March Madness begins and ask the question New York fans are wrestling with: is a Sweet 16 run enough, or does this team need to do more? With Rick Pitino, a brutal bracket, and the weight of real postseason expectations, the conversation centers on what success actually looks like now that the Johnnies are no longer just a feel-good story. They also get into the drama and beauty of the NCAA tournament, debate whether the format should ever change, react to the cultural impact of Chuck Norris, and mix in sharp takes on the Yankees, Dennis Rodman's wrestling Hall of Fame case, and the constant tension between hype, legacy, and reality in New York sports.

The conversation covers a little bit of everything in New York sports, from what actually matters in spring training to the latest Giants debate that has fans fired up. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the Yankees' pitching decisions, whether strong spring performances should force roster changes, and how much patience a contender should really have when younger talent is pushing for bigger roles. They also dive into the Giants from every angle, including draft strategy, why the Jeremiah Love discussion has become so divisive, and which matchup would make the most sense for a season opener. Along the way, the episode veers into NCAA Tournament expansion, the future of the NIT, the growing appeal of flag football, and even the scheduling headache of Mets, Yankees, Giants, and Jets all colliding on the same weekend.

Brandon Tierney joins Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber for a full breakdown of St. John's heading into the tournament, diving into expectations, pressure, and what a deep run would mean for the program and its fanbase. The conversation opens with a debate every New York fan can relate to—Jets Super Bowl or St. John's title—before shifting into why this moment feels especially significant under Rick Pitino. Tierney analyzes the matchup with Northern Iowa, explaining the stylistic clash that could either play into St. John's strengths or slow them down into an uncomfortable game. He also unpacks the team's culture, the impact of transfers, and how Pitino has molded the roster into a contender, while addressing criticism about their résumé and what success truly looks like this season.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber zero in on the stakes for St. John's and Rick Pitino, debating just how devastating a first-round exit would be and where it would rank among New York sports disappointments. The pressure, expectations, and comparisons to past failures fuel a spirited argument about what truly defines a letdown in this city. Things then take a turn into classic show chaos with the Cinco de Luncho, where San Diego-themed New York sports moments spark humor, storytelling, and plenty of pushback. From memorable playoff wins to quirky historical moments, the segment delivers laughs while highlighting the unique blend of nostalgia and unpredictability that closes out the show.

Spring training may not tell the whole story, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the parts that actually matter. They compare the Mets' clearer right field picture with the Yankees' tougher rotation calls, debating whether Carlos Lagrange has earned a real shot and how much stock to put into Ryan Weathers' rough spring versus the Yankees' longer-term plans. The conversation also branches into bigger sports questions, from how teams should handle young pitching and bullpen needs to whether flag football specialists could really outperform NFL players in that format. They wrap the opening stretch with a lively debate on the NCAA Tournament, the fading relevance of the NIT, and whether expansion should create more meaningful paths for deserving mid-majors.

The Giants take center stage as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into a fiery debate about the team's draft strategy and overall direction. With speculation swirling around Jeremiah Love, the question becomes whether taking a running back that high makes any sense for a roster that still has major needs elsewhere. The discussion intensifies as trade scenarios, roster construction, and long-term team building all come into play. They break down why moving up in the draft could be a massive gamble, how positional value factors into the decision, and what it would say about the Giants' priorities if they go in that direction. It's a passionate, no-holds-barred back-and-forth that captures exactly where the Giants stand—and why fans are so divided.

The final stretch zeroes in on the chaos of scheduling season, as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down all the possibilities for the Giants' season opener and why certain matchups feel long overdue. From the surprising lack of recent openers against the Eagles to the appeal of facing a top contender early, they explore what would make the most sense—and what fans should actually want. Things spiral into a full New York sports juggling act as they realize a potential nightmare scenario: Giants, Jets, and Mets-Yankees all happening at once. The guys debate which games would draw the most attention, how fans would manage it, and what the league might ultimately decide. They also touch on quirky scheduling trends, international NFL expansion logistics, and even a bizarre crossover moment involving Jameis Winston appearing on a Yankees-Giants broadcast.

Howie Rose sits down with Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber for a thoughtful conversation about why the 2026 season will be his last in the Mets booth. He explains the personal and professional factors behind the decision, from family sacrifices to the importance of stepping away before the job changes, while also sharing what still makes the biggest moments in sports so addictive for a play-by-play broadcaster. Along the way, Rose looks back on the unforgettable calls and career turns that shaped his legacy, including his love for radio, his transition across hockey and baseball, and the thrill of capturing iconic New York sports moments. He also opens up about mentoring the next generation, the lessons he learned from great broadcasters around him, and the one dream that still burns brightest: getting the chance to call a Mets championship before it's all over.

From the shock of the news to the weight of what Rose has meant to the franchise, this episode captures the gratitude, nostalgia, and heartbreak that comes with saying goodbye to one of New York's most beloved voices. Evan and Tiki revisit the calls that defined Rose's legacy, including Johan Santana's no-hitter, the Rangers' legendary Stephane Matteau goal, and the Mets' 2015 pennant run, while also exploring what made him so unique on radio. The conversation widens into the changing feel of March Madness, how gambling and college sports have shifted the tournament's appeal, and why certain sports moments still hit differently when the right voice is on the call.

The episode also becomes a celebration of Rose's legacy, from unforgettable Mets and Rangers calls to stories about Tom Seaver, WFAN, and the art of play-by-play. He shares why radio has always meant the most to him, why mentoring the next generation matters, and why one final dream still lingers: calling a Mets championship before he signs off.

A routine spring training play sparks a heated argument as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the backlash over Braden Ward bunting against Gerrit Cole in his first game back. The conversation quickly turns into a bigger debate about baseball etiquette, whether spring training should come with unwritten rules, and why some Yankees fans treated the play like a personal insult. Evan goes all in on the idea that Ward was simply trying to make the team, while the pushback centers on protecting Cole and questioning the intent behind the bunt. Along the way, the discussion expands into Alex Cora's role, the lingering edge in Yankees-Red Sox, the value of speed specialists on a roster, and a classic New York sports argument over whether Brooklyn and Queens should count as Long Island.

The debate over Braden Ward's bunt against Gerrit Cole takes another turn as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to CC Sabathia's real-time response—and it only adds more fuel to an already heated argument. What started as a spring training moment now feels like a full-on culture clash about how the game should be played and whether anything crosses the line. As CC's take suggests the bunt may have been discussed beforehand, the conversation shifts into intent, gamesmanship, and whether veteran influence played a role. Evan continues to push back on the outrage, defending Ward as a player fighting for a job, while the opposing view leans into respect, timing, and protecting a pitcher coming off injury. The back-and-forth captures just how quickly a small play can reignite Yankees-Red Sox tension and divide opinions across baseball.

A powerful Howie Rose call brings the 2024 Mets season back into focus—but does it still feel the same today? The emotional tribute captures the magic of an unexpected run, yet with time and perspective, the conversation shifts to whether that season should be remembered as something more frustrating than inspiring. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the tension between appreciating unforgettable moments and acknowledging what might have been, especially after the team failed to build on that success. The discussion expands into how quickly narratives change in sports, while also touching on Yankees spring training debates, Gerrit Cole's approach, and a lively argument over whether Olympic flag football could rival baseball in ratings.

A spring training bunt turns into a full-blown baseball debate as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the outrage over Braden Ward laying one down against Gerrit Cole in his first game back. What starts as a small play quickly becomes a bigger conversation about baseball etiquette, player opportunity, fan overreaction, and whether Yankees-Red Sox still carries real heat. From arguing over Alex Cora's influence and the value of speed guys off the bench to a detour into the Long Island debate, the guys keep the energy high and the opinions flying. They also get into the Mets' 9-9-9 ballpark challenge, the best days to call out of work, Tommy Lugauer's tournament whereabouts, and a memorable Howie Rose story and call that brings some true New York sports nostalgia to the table.

The signature chaos of Cinco de Luncho, but not before a heated debate over Aaron Judge and his postseason reputation. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to frustrated Yankee fans questioning Judge's clutch ability, weighing his greatness against the lingering criticism that he hasn't delivered enough in the biggest moments. As the energy ramps up, the show shifts into full Luncho mode with rapid-fire takes and standout moments, including reflections on the World Baseball Classic and what will actually stick with fans long after the excitement fades. It's a mix of serious sports debate and unpredictable fun that captures the show at its most unfiltered.

Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash open the show by diving straight into the familiar and heated debate surrounding Aaron Judge after Team USA's loss. A rough night at the plate quickly reignites the question Yankees fans can't seem to escape: can Judge deliver in the biggest moments, or is the narrative about his postseason struggles here to stay? Using caller reactions and their own perspectives, the hosts explore the gap between Judge's undeniable greatness and his inconsistent results in high-pressure games. They debate whether one WBC performance should matter at all, how much perception shapes his legacy, and why, fair or not, October remains the only thing that can ultimately change the conversation.

The Jets may have made their move for Geno Smith, but the quarterback situation is far from settled. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down what the decision means for the team's short-term outlook and why the rest of the QB room still feels incomplete, even as the NFL offseason slows down. They debate whether adding another veteran is the smart play or if the Jets should take a swing on a young “lottery ticket” in the draft. From the risks of rushing a rookie into action to the limited options still available in free agency, the conversation explores every angle of how the Jets can (or should) build stability at the most important position.

Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash break down Aaron Judge's quiet night in Team USA's 3-2 World Baseball Classic loss and the larger debate it reignites for Yankees fans. The episode centers on the tension between Judge's greatness and the lingering frustration that, in the biggest moments, the conversation always seems to circle back to whether he has delivered enough when it matters most. The trio debates how much this WBC performance should really matter, compares Team USA's offensive struggles to the feel of recent Yankees playoff losses, and dives into Mark DeRosa's questionable bullpen decisions late in the game. They also hit on Nolan McLean's outing, the WBC's place in the sports world, and a funny side argument over Aaron Judge's pregame interview and the “correct” way to read a final score.

The conversation starts with Kyler Murray's old tweets and the question of whether having multiple favorite teams makes him a “fraud,” then quickly expands into NFL draft philosophy, Jets and Giants futures, and the strange loyalty rules fans build around their teams. The biggest flashpoint is a spirited back-and-forth over Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game, sparked by Mike Francesa's defense of Wilt and Evan's argument that the game itself was a farce, not Wilt's greatness. From there, the show moves into WFAN archive reactions to Team USA's World Baseball Classic win, Hall of Fame plaque debates involving Jim Leland and Andre Dawson, and an extended rant about NBA tanking, manipulated stat-chasing, and whether fans are being cheated by teams that are not even trying to compete.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into the latest drama surrounding the World Baseball Classic, after Evan uncovers what he believes is a suspicious bracket setup. As Team USA advances with help from Team Italy, the conversation turns to how the tournament determines its semifinal matchups and why the United States and Japan are seemingly placed on opposite sides. Is it truly about geography, or is it a strategic move designed to guarantee the biggest possible matchup later in the tournament? The show also branches into a debate about how seriously Team USA takes the WBC compared to other countries, with players from places like the Dominican Republic and Japan showing noticeably more passion. Evan and Tiki then pivot to the New York Knicks grinding out a comeback win on the road and the complicated legacy of Carlos Beltrán as the New York Mets prepare to retire his number. The episode wraps with fan calls, including a memorable moment from an 11-year-old listener skipping school to attend the Big East Tournament with his dad.

Don't miss this fiery debate from the Carton Show on WFAN.

Evan and Tiki react to the stunning news that Geno Smith is returning to the New York Jets. Is this the right move for a franchise desperate to stabilize the quarterback position, or are the Jets settling for a short-term solution with no real future? The guys debate whether Geno is simply a bridge to the next quarterback, why some fans hate the move, and what the Jets' long-term plan might actually be. Plus, the emotional side of a full-circle reunion in New York and whether fans can separate Geno's past with the team from the player he is today.

The Jets quarterback carousel rolls on and Evan Roberts is convinced he's cracked the code. After weeks of hints, comments, and speculation, Evan believes Derek Carr is destined to land with the Jets. But Tiki isn't buying it and thinks the Jets might be getting played. The guys break down why Carr might actually want New York, why Minnesota could still be the best football situation, and what the Jets truly need at quarterback right now. They also debate Daniel Jones' situation after receiving the transition tag, why the Vikings could make sense as a landing spot, and what it would take for Indianapolis to let him walk. Plus, callers weigh in with wild quarterback ideas including Geno Smith, Zach Wilson, and the possibility of the Jets absorbing Tua's contract just to grab a first-round pick.

Is Derek Carr practically telling everyone he wants to be the New York Jets' next quarterback? Evan Roberts thinks the clues are impossible to ignore after another strange moment from Derek Carr and David Carr's show seemed to point directly at the Jets. Evan and Tiki break down whether Carr is seriously eyeing New York or just trolling a desperate fan base for attention. Plus, the debate continues over the Jets' quarterback future, whether Spencer Rattler or Tanner McKee are worth a shot, and why the Giants' running back situation is still far from settled despite Devin Singletary's contract restructure. From quarterback bingo to free agency wish lists, this hour is loaded with Jets and Giants offseason drama.

Would the New York Jets ever take on Tua Tagovailoa's massive contract if it meant landing a valuable first-round pick from the Miami Dolphins? Evan Roberts proposes a bold, controversial strategy: use the Jets' cap space as a weapon, absorb Tua's deal, and stockpile draft capital for the future. Evan compares the idea to NBA rebuild tactics and past NFL salary-dump trades, arguing the move isn't about Tua at all. It's about turning cap space into elite draft assets. Tiki Barber pushes back, questioning whether taking on a struggling, injury-prone quarterback would sabotage Aaron Glenn's chances to win now.

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.

With the Arizona Cardinals preparing to move on from Kyler Murray, a fascinating possibility emerges: could the New York Jets take a swing on the former No. 1 overall pick? Evan Roberts argues the Jets should seriously consider the upside play. Murray may not have lived up to expectations in Arizona, but his talent, age, and past success make him one of the most intriguing quarterback lottery tickets available. With weapons like Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall plus a solid offensive line, could New York be the perfect one-year prove-it spot? Tiki Barber pushes back, preferring the safer veteran route and questioning Murray's durability, leadership style, and fit with offensive coordinator Frank Reich. The guys debate Murray vs. Kirk Cousins, the Jets' quarterback dilemma heading into free agency, and whether New York should swing for upside or settle for stability.

The Arizona Cardinals are expected to move on from Kyler Murray, and suddenly the quarterback market gets very interesting. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether the New York Jets should take a chance on the former No. 1 overall pick if he becomes available. Evan makes the case for chasing upside. Murray is still under 30, a multi-time Pro Bowler, and far more accomplished than most quarterbacks the Jets have rolled out in recent decades. If New York is looking for a big swing instead of a safe single, Murray could represent the kind of high-reward gamble that changes the franchise. Tiki pushes back, pointing to Murray's injury history, leadership style, and whether he would even be the right fit for new offensive coordinator Frank Reich. The conversation also explores Murray's limited landing spots around the league, why the Jets might actually be an appealing destination, and whether New York should prioritize upside or stability at the most important position.

As the New York Jets continue searching for their next quarterback, Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive deeper into the debate between Kyler Murray and Kirk Cousins. Evan argues Murray represents the higher upside play. If the former No. 1 overall pick lands in the right situation with Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, and a solid offensive line, the Jets could give him the perfect one-year prove-it opportunity to revive his career after the Arizona Cardinals move on. Tiki sees it differently. He believes Cousins fits offensive coordinator Frank Reich's system far better and gives the Jets a more stable path in the short term while they figure out the long-term quarterback position. The guys also revisit their original takes from December, debate whether Murray would actually want to come to New York, and open up the phone lines to Jets fans weighing in on which quarterback they prefer. Plus, a few callers throw out wild scenarios involving teams like the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers, while Evan explains why chasing upside might be the only way for the Jets to finally solve their decades-long quarterback problem.

What if revival isn't as complicated as we've made it? In this powerful episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Tim and Drew unpack the four simple yet costly keys to revival taught by Evan Roberts during the historic Welsh Revival. At just 26 years old, this unknown coal miner became the catalyst for a movement that transformed an entire nation—not through strategy, platforms, or church growth systems, but through repentance, surrender, obedience, and bold faith. If you're hungry for revival but tired of performance-driven Christianity, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about spiritual awakening.Together, we dive deep into the heart posture that prepares the church for a move of God: confronting hidden sin, removing distractions that dull spiritual hunger, learning to obey the Holy Spirit in everyday moments, and boldly confessing Jesus in a culture growing increasingly hostile to truth. This episode isn't about hype—it's about holiness. It's about personal revival before corporate revival. Could the reason revival tarries today be because we've complicated what God made simple? Watch to the end as we share practical steps you can apply immediately to ignite spiritual fire in your own life, your family, and your church.Check out our merch store! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://eyesonjesuspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get all our links in one easy place! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotional⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/3v8963s⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email feedback, questions or show topic ideas to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on ⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drew's church's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://yes.online/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Tim Ferrara: ⁠ ⁠ Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

he clock is ticking on Breece Hall and the Jets have three options: long-term extension, transition tag, or the full franchise tag. Evan and Tiki break down why the franchise tag may be the safest move, why the transition tag could spark drama, and why letting him sniff free agency would be a mistake. Is Hall the best running back available right now? The guys compare him to draft prospects like Jeremiah Love and debate whether the Jets can afford to gamble on a rookie instead of locking up a proven 24-year-old weapon. Then it gets wild. The Jets quarterback room is about to be completely rebuilt. Evan unveils his QB Big Board and the predictions fly: Is Kirk Cousins really in play? Would Geno Smith circle back to New York? Could Derek Carr reunite with Aaron Glenn? Is Kenny Pickett the long-term backup play? From bold predictions to full-on chaos, Evan and Tiki each lock in their two veteran QB picks for 2026 and invite Jets fans to do the same. Plus: unearthed audio from Tiki's draft day and a vintage Evan Roberts sports update you have to hear to believe. Jets drama. QB roulette. Cap space chess. It's all here.
