We break down the Yankees' 9-2 win over the Red Sox, Sonny Gray's early exit and sticky stuff, and look ahead to the Rays series while debating Aaron Judge's roster status. After rounding up MLB playoff action with Cody Bellinger, Bryce Harper, and the White Sox, we touch on Jameis Winston's thoughts on JJ McCarthy before discussing Phil Mickelson's therapy and comparisons to Tiger Woods. Finally, we turn to football with a Steelers-Browns preview, NFL line guessing, and a debate on whether McCarthy or Tommy DeVito is more likely to start.

We kick off with the Yankees' 9-2 win over the Red Sox after Boston pulled Sonny Gray early, giving New York the momentum heading into Tampa. Gio isn't worried about the Yankees' offense, expects a 70% Yankee crowd on the road, highlights the unchecked sticky stuff on Gray's neck, and explains why the White Sox are baseball's best story. Jerry delivers his first update with Cody Bellinger's three-run homer, Max Fried on the playoff atmosphere, Gray's thoughts on his early exit, and Bryce Harper making up for a costly error with a game-tying blast. Finally, Jameis Winston reacts to the Giants signing JJ McCarthy, and we wrap up with a preview of the Rays series and whether Aaron Judge makes the roster.

Jerry has the sounds of the Yankees beating the Red Sox including Cody Bellinger's 3-run HR. We heard Suzyn Waldman in the locker room after the game. Ben Rice was asked about the celebration and said Volpe is a menace with the champagne bottle. We heard from some of the Red Sox players after the game. Jerry went around the other MLB playoff games.

Ep. 1042 - After a brief discussion about the start of the baseball playoffs, Craig Grialou and Jesus Quinonez dive into the news of the day. And it's not so much news as it is appreciation. Appreciation for Trey McBride and the tight end position. Through three games, it's clear how important McBride and the tight ends are to what Mike LaFleur wants to do offensively. And the tight ends might be the key to helping unlock the lack of explosive plays in the passing game. Also, Craig and Jesus talk Josh Sweat, the dilemma facing the defense when it comes to pressuring opposing quarterbacks and begin to preview Sunday's matchup against Jameis Winston, Cam Skattebo and the Giants front seven.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Astros are unraveling, and now one of their own players is calling out the fans. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash react to thousands of empty seats in Houston, Bennett Sousa criticizing the atmosphere, and why the Astros suddenly feel nothing like the powerhouse Yankee fans once despised. The conversation then turns back to the Giants and their continued red-zone failures. Tiki explains why the coaching staff may be overthinking things with Jameis Winston, especially after abandoning a rushing attack that was working against Tennessee. Plus, the guys debate the difference between TV and radio play-by-play and why postseason broadcasts can frustrate fans used to their local announcers.

The Giants suddenly have a real opening in the NFC East. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash break down a division with no dominant team, why Philadelphia and Dallas look vulnerable, and how Jameis Winston could keep the Giants firmly in the race. They also react to Kayvon Thibodeaux pretending he had just learned about Odell Beckham Jr.'s release, a performance convincing enough to fool Tiki. Plus, Najee Harris appears to be moving ahead in the Giants' backfield, Tyrone Tracy's role is shrinking, and special teams could become a major factor in how this team wins close games.

The Giants suddenly have a path to stealing the NFC East.

Then the focus shifts to October baseball, where Shaun declares the Red Sox the Yankees' new Twins after another dominant playoff showing. The guys also react to the Astros getting called out by one of their own players over empty playoff seats, Susan Waldman delivering an accidental insult to Big Mac, and the unforgettable Yankee Stadium scene after Ben Rice's grand slam.

With Joe Flacco, Jameis Winston, and Jimmy Garoppolo all off the table, the Bucs' plan B for replacing Baker Mayfield is Brett Rypien — signed to the practice squad, not the active roster — while undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels makes his first career start Sunday against Green Bay. Rick Stroud lays out a sobering stat: since 2024, rookie quarterbacks are a combined 56-89, and the backup quarterbacks who've actually won games around the league this season (Case Keenum, Mac Jones, Carson Wentz, Drew Locke) all share one thing Daniels doesn't have — real NFL experience. Rick and Steve debate, half-seriously, whether a Bucs fan should even want a win right now given a stacked, quarterback-heavy draft class, before agreeing there's too much season left and too bad a division to consider punting on it. They also dig into where the blame really lies for Tampa Bay's offensive collapse — Baker's tendency to extend plays into sacks and holding penalties, Zach Robinson's predictable play-calling, an offensive line that isn't as bad as it looks — and note the one thing working: Chase McLaughlin hasn't missed a field goal all year. A mailbag question revisits why Mike Evans really left for San Francisco, and Rick makes the case that Evans saw a closer path to a Super Bowl elsewhere as his own mortality became real after his first-ever injury-shortened season.The back half looks ahead to a jam-packed week: MLB's wild-card round (Yankees leading Boston, Padres and Braves both winning thrillers), the NHL's opening night, and the Lightning's regular-season opener Thursday at the Rangers, plus a scheduling headache with the Rays' ALDS Game 1 and the Lightning's home opener both landing Saturday night. Rick and Steve also mark the sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first boat parade and pitch (not entirely jokingly) a stadium renovation tribute to Tom Brady's Super Bowl trophy toss.Segments:Jalon Daniels named starter; what backup-quarterback history says about his chances against Green BayIs the offensive line really the problem, or is it Baker Mayfield and play-calling?Mailbag: Why did Mike Evans really leave for San Francisco?MLB wild card round recap: Yankees-Red Sox, Padres-Cubs, Braves walk-off winNHL season opens; Lightning open Thursday at the Rangers, home opener collides with Rays ALDS Game 1Sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first championship boat paradeSponsor: Breitling Boutique, International PlazaTimestamps:0:09 – Bucs' backup QB plan revealed: Brett Rypien to the practice squad, Jalen Daniels named starter2:27 – Why experienced backups matter: Case Keenum's big Monday night4:15 – Rookie QBs are 56-89 since 2024; should a Bucs fan want a loss right now?7:00 – Is the offensive line really the problem, or is it Baker Mayfield and play-calling?16:23 – What Daniels has going for him: 50+ college starts, calm demeanor17:36 – Backup QBs went nearly undefeated this weekend; the risk the Bucs took at QB222:46 – Sponsor: Breitling Boutique, International Plaza24:13 – Sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first championship boat parade28:33 – Mailbag: Why did Mike Evans really leave for San Francisco?33:22 – Mailbag: Where does the blame fall for the Bucs' offensive struggles?39:12 – MLB wild-card recap: Yankees-Red Sox, Padres-Cubs, Braves walk-off win40:10 – NHL season opens; Lightning-Rangers Thursday, Saturday scheduling conflict with Rays ALDS Game 1 Hosted on Acast.

Phil breaks down what he's seeing from Jameis Winston, why he may be playing too cautiously, and what needs to change for the Giants' offense to get back on track. Then, the guys turn to the Giants' trade for J.J. McCarthy. Phil explains what stands out about McCarthy's arm talent and mobility, how his skill set could fit what the Giants want to do offensively, and how quickly a quarterback can learn a new system after arriving in the middle of the season.

The Giants release Odell Beckham Jr. three games into his return: 20 offensive snaps, one target and zero catches, stuck behind Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney and Malachi Fields. We go through why the reunion never fit and what the roster squeeze says about the week. Then the bigger question. Jaxson Dart is out for the regular season, Jameis Winston is 1-0 as the starter after a 12-7 win over Tennessee, and the Giants just traded a 2027 fifth-round pick for J.J. McCarthy. Winston is completing 51 percent with no touchdown passes in 2026; McCarthy went 6-4 as a starter in Minnesota last year with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. John Harbaugh says Winston starts against Arizona. How long should that last? Drop your pick in the comments: Jameis all season, J.J. right now, or J.J. by midseason?

Is there pressure to get the No. 1 overall pick onto the field? Should the Raiders continue riding with Cousins? And what does the development of Mendoza look like if Las Vegas continues winning?Amy also takes Maggie inside her memories of John Madden, including one of her favorite memories of the legendary Raiders coach. She explains why Madden meant so much to the organization — and why she won't be seeing the new movie about John Madden and Al Davis.Plus, Maggie gives the New York Giants a STOCK DOWN after their trade for J.J. McCarthy and explains why the move raises questions about the Giants' quarterback situation.

J.J. McCarthy gets a fresh start with the Giants, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber, and Shaun Morash debate whether John Harbaugh can help revive the former first-round pick's career. With expectations dramatically different after New York acquired him for a fifth-round pick, McCarthy now has a chance to prove he can become a reliable NFL backup or potentially something more. The conversation turns to whether McCarthy could already be the Giants' No. 2 quarterback this week behind Jameis Winston and what Harbaugh needs to see before trusting him. Plus, the surprising early success of backup quarterbacks across the NFL, the Mets watching Freddy Peralta thrive elsewhere, and a baseball lawsuit sparked by a dangerous stadium wall.

The Giants' trade for J.J. McCarthy immediately raises a bigger question about Jaxson Dart's future. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether McCarthy could create an uncomfortable quarterback battle once Dart returns, why an early-career injury can accelerate the pressure on a young quarterback, and why Minnesota giving up on McCarthy does not automatically mean the Giants made a mistake. John Harbaugh's focus is simply winning the next game, but the Giants now have another potential answer if Jameis Winston struggles or Dart's recovery hits complications. Plus, Case Keenum's performance becomes a reminder of how valuable an experienced backup quarterback can be.

The Giants' trade for J.J. McCarthy sparks a major debate about what comes next for Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston and New York's quarterback room. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why Minnesota giving up on McCarthy does not guarantee he will fail, how John Harbaugh could unlock him, and why a fifth-round pick is a worthwhile gamble for a former first-round quarterback. They also examine the uncomfortable possibility of McCarthy pushing Dart or Winston if he takes advantage of his opportunity. The Yankees unveil an unconventional Wild Card roster loaded with position players, opening the door for Aaron Boone to aggressively deploy Jazz Chisholm, Anthony Volpe and Giancarlo Stanton. Plus, Case Keenum's huge performance gets attention, and Posted and Toasted digs up old J.J. McCarthy takes from around WFAN.

J.J. McCarthy is now a member of the Giants. When will we see him on the field? And what's this say about Jameis Winston? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The New York Giants have pulled off a stunner, trading a 2027 5th-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings to acquire former first-round quarterback JJ McCarthy. With Jaxson Dart sidelined and Brian Burns suffering a season-ending torn ACL, the front office made it loud and clear that they refuse to throw in the towel on the season. Ethan and Weis break down why McCarthy is a much better scheme fit than Jameis Winston, why Winston was always meant as a short-term backup, and how quickly McCarthy could realistically see the field.Despite grinding out an ugly Week 3 victory over Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans, the performance left serious concerns on the table. The guys dive into a fiery debate over the pass rush after top draft picks Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux combined for zero sacks, zero QB hits, and just one tackle against a struggling offense. While Weis argues the secondary's inability to cover quick drops handicapped the front, Ethan is completely out of excuses for high-priced, high-draft capital rushers.Looking ahead to Week 4, the Giants prepare for a sneaky trap game against the Arizona Cardinals at MetLife Stadium. Plus, Ethan and Weis scan the rest of the league, debating which NFL head coach is on the hottest seat, reacting to horrific officiating in the Rams game, and evaluating whether Jim Harbaugh could genuinely face a mid-season exit.

We discuss whether JJ McCarthy will eventually challenge Jameis Winston for the starting QB position.

We started with a caller calling out Rami for taking a Boston fan to tonight's Yankees playoff game, before debating if J.J. McCarthy will eventually challenge Jameis Winston—though Boomer insists Jameis gives them the best chance to win this week. Jerry's final update featured a projected Yankees lineup without Aaron Judge, David Stearns on the pressure to build a winner, and sounds of the Bears beating the Eagles alongside Ben Johnson, which Boomer thinks spells trouble for the Jets. Rounding out the show, we heard from Mike Brown at Knicks media day, recalled LeBron wanting to finish his career with the Knicks, caught hot mic situations in Sacramento and Indiana for the Moment of the Day, and closed with Jack Curry's report that Aaron Judge will officially miss the Wild Card roster.

David Stearns retired the phrase "run prevention"—to Gio's delight—only to replace it with "an uncapped downside scenario," while Gio wondered if Dave Sims will shush Suzyn again tonight. Jerry's update kicked off with Cam Schlittler getting the start and Stearns' take on Pete Alonso, followed by the Case Keenum-led Bears breezing past the Eagles. Rounding out the hour, John Harbaugh shared his thoughts on J.J. McCarthy and Jameis Winston, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart popped up in an SNL clip, and LeBron James revealed he wanted to retire a Knick until they went and won the title.

The Bears beat the Eagles behind Case Keenum after an injured Jalen Hurts gave way to an Andy Dalton interception. Meanwhile, the Giants acquired J.J. McCarthy to back up Jameis Winston, a move Gio now approves. Jerry brought the sounds of the Bears' clean win with Kevin Harlan and Ben Johnson, while John Harbaugh weighed in on McCarthy and Winston. Cam Schlittler is hyped for his start against Boston, Aaron Judge discussed his roster status, LeBron James explained how the Knicks' title crushed his retirement plans, a hot mic caught compliments at Kings media day, and we speculated on the Yankees' Wild Card lineup.

The Bears rolled past the Eagles behind Case Keenum following a Jalen Hurts injury and Andy Dalton endzone pick, leading Ben Johnson to hail it as their cleanest win to date—a performance Boomer Esiason thinks spells trouble for the Jets. Meanwhile, the Giants' acquisition of J.J. McCarthy behind Jameis Winston sparked debate on when he might challenge for the starting job, while John Harbaugh weighed in on both QBs and confirmed Brian Burns is lost for the season. Mets president David Stearns addressed Pete Alonso's year and the constant pressure to construct a winner. For the Yankees, Cam Schlittler gets the nod tonight against Boston, with Wild Card roster speculation culminating in Jack Curry's report that Aaron Judge was left off while Giancarlo Stanton made it. Rounding out the sports action, the Rangers open their season tonight, Mike Brown spoke at Knicks media day, and LeBron James reflected on how New York's championship impacted his retirement plans.

Hour One of the Good Morning Football Podcast begins with reaction to the Bears blowing out the Eagles with Case Keenum leading the way.
