We dive into a heated rant about the Giants' front office priorities, questioning why ownership is leaking PR spin to the New York Post to protect GM Joe Schoen's reputation instead of addressing much larger, real-world organizational controversies. On the Jets side of town, we take the temperature of the fanbase, debating if the head coach is already a lame duck and why settling for a veteran quarterback like Kirk Cousins might just be a frustrating "bridge to nowhere." We cap things off with a little cross-podcast banter and a quick hardwood update on the Knicks and Nets.
In this segment, we dive deep into the ultimate tale of two New York franchises, tackling the growing frustration surrounding the Jets and the behind-the-scenes drama brewing with the Giants. We unpack why Aaron Glenn's “superpower” rhetoric is falling completely flat with diehard fans who are exhausted by the "fake it before you make it" mentality, while contrasting it with the quiet, proven confidence of GM Darren McGee. Plus, we pull no punches reacting to the latest media leaks regarding Joe Schoen and Giants ownership, break down why a veteran like Kirk Cousins might just be a "bridge to nowhere," and even take a detour for a legendary caller with a jaw-dropping physical feat. Are the Jets actually turning a corner, or are we just buying into the same old grandiose promises?
Jerry's here again with John Harbaugh at the combine. We take a bit of a detour to talk about Evan suffering back issues. Then we're on to the Jets as GM Darren Mougey is asked about reaching out to the Raiders about their draft pick.
The Knicks' loss in Cleveland has Boomer sensing a "weird vibe" fueled by a terrible third quarter and coaching concerns. Jerry's update features Mike Brown's "ugly game" reaction, Kendrick Perkins "full-blown panic mode" comment. Meanwhile, Darren Mougey weighs Jets QB options and Breece Hall's loyalty, Joe Schoen discusses draft delays, and John Harbaugh emphasizes organizational alignment. Plus, President Trump's State of the Union hockey introduction, ABS challenges at Yankees spring training, and graffiti at the new Bills stadium.
The guys run through the best and weirdest sound from the NFL Combine, starting with Aaron Glenn owning his rocky first year and then dropping the line that instantly becomes bulletin board material: “play call is my superpower.” Then it's the Giants, with Joe Schoen insisting he was “behind” in draft prep but spent the week “crushing” film, plus more coach-speak from Harbaugh about alignment, vision, and everybody being on the same page. The segment also detours into Cam Ward's unforgettable “we keeping a book right now” quote and Rob Saleh's praise for Ward's work habits and leadership. And it wraps with Colts GM Chris Ballard admitting he hasn't been good enough, defending Anthony Richardson's development, and the ongoing league-wide obsession with finding the next quarterback who can actually carry a franchise.

Evan Roberts is out, so the crew dives headfirst into the chaos of NFL Combine week and why it matters way more than the televised drills. With Aaron Glenn and Darren McGee speaking soon, the focus turns to the real Combine story: quarterbacks, leverage, and job security. The big debate: should the Jets follow the “Giants model” by taking a premium non QB early, then swinging on a quarterback with pick 16 as a built-in “golden ticket” for the regime? Ty Simpson becomes the lightning rod, with arguments flying about upside, mobility, injury context, and whether a “Tony Romo ceiling” is worth a first round investment. Plus, the show tackles the alternative path: waiting for the supposedly stronger 2027 QB class, grabbing a later round value like Garrett Nussmeier, and how optics and draft slot can shape a quarterback's runway. Jets fans call in with strong takes on spending premium picks, the scars of the Zach Wilson era, and whether this franchise can develop any quarterback at all.
Evan gets roasted for an airplane meltdown scenario before the show pivots back to the NFL Combine and the New York Post's “biggest offseason storylines” game: the QB carousel, Stafford rumors, franchise tags (including Breece Hall), and whether this draft really could produce only one Round 1 quarterback again. Plus, a deep dive into what the Giants should actually spend on in free agency, why Tyler Linderbaum might be too pricey, and why Cordale Flott could be the sneaky “whoa” contract of the offseason. The hour also features Cinco de Luncho with the Top 5 local NFL players we want back, capped by a full-on debate about trading Kayvon Thibodeaux and why selling low makes no sense. Also in the mix: Tommy Lugauer's travel nightmare, a rabbit hole on the Hughes hockey family, and the weirdest medal-ceremony tradition that has athletes getting handed stuffed mascots right after heartbreak.
Joe Schoen meets the media at the NFL Combine and makes it clear: he says his role has not changed, and he's still running the Giants football operation. But with Donna Aponte stepping into a major front office role and John Harbaugh now part of the decision-making mix, the conversation quickly turns to the real question: is this collaboration… or confusion waiting to happen? Plus, Schoen says the Giants are “open for business” in the draft. With no third-round pick and a premium slot in Round 2, we debate how aggressive New York should be about moving back, moving up, and reshaping the board. Then, on calls: Giants fans weigh in on the free agent priorities, including the Jermaine Eluemunor vs. Wan'Dale Robinson debate, and what kind of offseason approach this new structure could produce once free agency hits.
With Evan Roberts out, the spotlight turns to the NFL Combine and the massive quarterback questions facing the Jets and Giants. As GMs, coaches, and prospects descend on Indianapolis, the real action isn't the 40-yard dash, it's the behind-the-scenes conversations that could reshape franchises. The discussion zeroes in on why this week is make-or-break for the Jets' new regime, the pressure to secure a long-term quarterback, and whether prospects like Ty Simpson are worth a bold first-round gamble. Is drafting a QB about building the franchise… or saving jobs? And how much can a strong combine performance actually change a team's future? Plus, a look at how the event itself has evolved into a TV spectacle, why top prospects increasingly skip drills, and what truly matters when evaluating quarterbacks in today's NFL. For a team desperate for upside, standing still may not be an option.
The phone lines open up and Jets fans bring the heat: should the Jets go quarterback hunting at the Combine, and do they need to copy the Giants model to finally solve this nightmare? One caller throws the ultimate curveball, if you could re-draft Tony Romo, is he a first-round pick, and would “Romo-level” competence be enough for this franchise? From there, the debate turns into a full-on Jets identity crisis: swing for upside with Ty Simpson at 16, wait for a later option like Garrett Nussmeier, or punt the whole QB plan to next year's “loaded” class. The big tension is obvious. Fans can wait. Coaches and GMs usually cannot. Aaron Glenn and Darren McGee are on a different clock, and the show digs into whether drafting a quarterback is about building the future or protecting jobs. Plus: Zach Wilson PTSD, why the Combine can fool you, why draft slot changes everything for QBs, and whether a veteran bridge like Kirk Cousins or a wild-card free agent like Malik Willis can keep the season from feeling dead on arrival.
In this segment, we dive deep into the evolving—and potentially murky—leadership structure of the New York Giants following Joe Schoen's defensive media session in Indianapolis. As Dawn Aponte steps into a senior role and John Harbaugh's influence looms large, questions are surfacing about whether the GM has been "marginalized" or if this is truly the collaborative dream team the organization claims it to be. We break down the tension surrounding Schoen's contract status, the looming "conundrum" of re-signing slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, and why a lack of a third-round pick makes the Giants "open for business" at the number five spot. Plus, we pivot to a heated debate on whether an Olympic Gold Medal carries a "Mickey Mouse" asterisk and why rooting for rival stars in the red, white, and blue feels so complicated for die-hard fans.
After stories about Olympic flag football dreams, curling fantasies, and a brutal travel nightmare for a stranded colleague, it's finally time for chaos: Cinco de Luncho. With the Combine underway and free agency looming, the focus shifts to the Top 5 local NFL players that absolutely must return to the Jets or Giants this offseason. The list includes a debated linebacker bounce-back candidate in Quincy Williams, a crucial secondary piece in Cordale Flott, and the importance of maintaining offensive line continuity with Jermaine Eluemunor. Then it ramps up with Breece Hall's future in green and why letting key contributors walk could create even bigger roster holes than the ones teams are trying to fix.
The phones light up as draft talk intensifies, sparked by the idea of taking an elite running back early despite glaring roster holes. The crew breaks down why using a first-round pick on a bell-cow back could create more problems than it solves, what it would mean for existing players, and how the Giants could instead target value at tight end, linebacker, or by trading down to balance the board. Then the conversation veers into one of the strangest scenes from the hockey medal ceremony: athletes being handed stuffed Olympic mascots moments after a heartbreaking loss. From viral reactions to the awkward reality of receiving a plush toy while processing defeat, the guys debate whether the tradition is charming, tone-deaf, or just plain bizarre. Smart draft strategy meets peak sports absurdity in a segment that goes from roster construction to mascot chaos in seconds.
