The next big football story in New York might be the Jets, not the Giants. While the Giants feel “done” after locking in their coach and QB plan, the Jets are staring at a total quarterback reset with Aaron Glenn back, Frank Reich running the offense, and zero easy answers on the market. Then a weekend report lights the fuse: Derek Carr is seriously considering a return, his shoulder is reportedly fully healthy, and the Saints still hold his rights. Is Carr the smart “bridge” the Jets actually need, or is this just another offseason mirage? Plus, why Carr vs Kirk Cousins is a real debate, how the Raiders could complicate everything, and the moment the conversation flips into “wait… does Carr actually want to be a Jet?”
The Derek Carr-to-the-Jets idea goes from rumor to “wait a second…” as the show lays out three pieces of evidence from Carr's own podcast that make it sound like he is absolutely open to New York. He praises Garrett Wilson, gushes about Aaron Glenn, and even shouts out Jets fans in a story that somehow involves a Henry Ruggs bomb and a charity donation wave. Then the conversation widens: if Carr is truly healthy and wants to play, is he the perfect bridge who finally buys the Jets time to develop a young QB the right way? Plus, callers weigh in on whether Tom Brady's famous “you're sticking with that guy over me?!” was aimed at Carr or Jimmy Garoppolo, why that matters for a potential Raiders reunion, and how the 2027 draft hype could change the way teams think about trading picks. And at the end, the looming question returns: with all these moving parts, is Carr actually the most realistic Jets answer, or just the latest offseason rabbit hole?

Mock Draft Monday is here, and we're going beyond the first round. This episode dives deep into all 32 second-round selections, exploring the prospects that could define franchises and the roster holes that keep GMs up at night. We kick things off with a full first-round recap before attacking the second round pick by pick. The Jets triple down on building around Ty Simpson with interior lineman Emmanuel Prenyon. Cleveland faces the reality of needing five new offensive linemen and grabs Chase Besantis. Kansas City lets the talent fall to them with TJ Parker off the edge. The Bengals address their secondary woes, Houston starts future-proofing a defense that's quietly aging out, and Pittsburgh makes the boldest move of the draft — sitting Trinidad Chambliss behind Aaron Rodgers in a Jordan Love replay scenario. For Green Bay, LT Overton becomes the "most Packers pick possible" as a young, toolsy edge rusher who fits the Gutey profile even if the PFF grades make you squint. We also break down why Connor Lou is a trap, why Malik Muhammad's regression is alarming, and why this board just didn't fall well for Green Bay.

We kick off with ChatGPT's Jets QB list and Ryen Russillo's Instagram mishap before diving into Tom Brady's "ick"-worthy social media and Sam Darnold's NFL journey. From Stefon Diggs' rumored halftime breakup with Cardi Band, and Josh Hart's viral fan encounter, to Gio's dad landing a plane on a frozen bay We cover a lot of ground. We finish by debating Deshaun Watson versus Kirk Cousins for the Jets, celebrating Rick Pitino's record-breaking win, and catching Boomer reading Bad Bunny lyrics. It's a full show.
Trade for Deshaun Watson or maybe Russell Wilson. Gio is still hot for Kirk Cousins.
Gio weighs a potential Jets trade for Deshaun Watson against Russell Wilson's future and would rather Kirk Cousins over the injury-prone Watson. Jerry begins with a look at Gio's favorite childhood bands, Rodney Harrison's confrontation with Tony Dungy over his Belichick HOF vote. and the Pistons-Hornets brawl. Also, Rick Pitino's historic 904th win, Eddie's "Moment of the Day" song remix, and Boomer reading Bad Bunny lyrics during a commercial break.
Tom Brady's dancing with Alix Earle and thirst traps have Gio and our callers questioning his "ick"-factor behavior, while Jerry's update follows Sam Darnold's career trip and Adam Gase's return to the NFL. We've got that Hornets-Pistons brawl, the Roommates Podcast on the Knicks winning ways, Rick Pitino's record-breaking win, and the Jets' search for a bridge quarterback.
We dive into who could QB the Jets this season, featuring a list from ChatGPT. Could Kirk Cousins come to New York?.

Everyone called Super Bowl 60 boring, but Evan and Tiki explain why watching the Patriots get embarrassed by the Seahawks was actually a thrill ride. The guys break down the game, including Drake Maye's playoff struggles, the dominance of Kenneth Walker, and the irony of Sam Darnold getting a ring. Later, the show goes off the rails regarding a broadcast moment that enraged Jets fans: Mike Tirico calling Adam Sandler a Patriots fan "as per usual." They debate who is more at fault Tirico for the lazy research, or Sandler for wearing a hat with the Patriots logo on it.
While most fans called it boring, this was a perfect night for anyone who enjoys watching the New England Patriots fall flat on the biggest stage. We break down why Super Bowl 60 was far more entertaining than people want to admit, especially if you are a Jets fan or anyone tired of Patriots success. From Seattle Seahawks controlling the game with defense and the run, to New England Patriots looking overwhelmed offensively, this episode dives into why the outcome felt inevitable early. We talk about Drake Maye struggling under playoff pressure, why the Patriots' easy path finally caught up to them, and how Seattle won without needing a heroic performance from Sam Darnold. Was the game ugly? Absolutely. Was it satisfying? For at least one bitter Jets fan, it was four hours of joy. We also look ahead to what this loss means for the Patriots, why getting close does not guarantee you will ever get back, and whether Seattle can realistically repeat this formula next season.
A random Super Bowl celebrity shoutout turned into an all out Jets fan meltdown. Evan and Tiki react to Mike Tirico calling Adam Sandler “a Patriots fan as per usual” and why that one line put a dark cloud over the rest of the night for a lot of Jets fans. Was it a simple camera angle misunderstanding because Sandler was wearing a Super Bowl hat with both logos? Or is the real crime Tirico confidently saying “as per usual” like it is fact? The guys debate what is more egregious: Tirico mislabeling Sandler's fandom on national TV, or Sandler even putting a Patriots logo on his head in any context.
Evan and Tiki debate who the Super Bowl champion Seahawks will host to kick off the 2026 NFL season. With the Rams and 49ers heading to Australia, the guys analyze the remaining options including the Chiefs, Chargers, and Bears and argue whether the John Harbaugh led Giants are ready for the prime-time spotlight. Plus, the crew discusses the lack of cold-weather Super Bowls and Tiki sets his price tag for the Jets to acquire Mac Jones.

The Jets hired Seth Ryan, Rex's son, as their passing game coordinator and Boomer told us about the connection to Frank Reich. Also, Boomer stopped at a bar for lunch on Friday and everyone was asking him about the Jets QB situation.
The guys kick off the morning by dissecting a lackluster Super Bowl that only Seattle fans could love, questioning the halftime show and wondering if kicker Jason Myers should've been the MVP. We've got Ryen Russillo's social media blunder and the world of prediction markets, a debate over the Mets' roster and the Knicks' dominance in Boston. Also, the Jets' latest coaching hire, St John's over UConn, where the Super Bowl should be held outside of California, and even touch on Boomer being a prepper of sorts.
Jets' hire Seth Ryan who has a connection to Frank Reich. Boomer gets asked questions about the Jets QB situation wherever he goes. Jerry's update brings us the Patriots' calls from the game and the Knicks' dominant showing in Boston. Plus, Dan Hurley's frustrations following the St. John's upset and the developing news about the kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie's mother.
The guys celebrate Sam Darnold's feel‑good Super Bowl 60 victory, highlighting the adversity he overcame to finally win a title. Seattle's defense stifled the Patriots all game, while the Seahawks relied on five field goals, the longest from 41 yards, as their offense struggled to reach the end zone. Rookie QB Drake Maye and Patriots left tackle Will Campbell face heavy criticism after tough performances, and Jets and Vikings fans are feeling the sting of seeing Darnold succeed where they couldn't. The conversation turns to the Dolphins, with fans largely agreeing that Tua needs a fresh start—whether it's being cut, traded with Miami covering most of his salary, or an unlikely overpaid return to compete for the starting job. The segment even draws a comparison to how it would feel if Tua led another team to a Super Bowl next season.
The guys are LIVE from the pool deck at Yaamava Resort & Casino, where thankfully they had an amazing place to watch last night's Super Bowl from, because the game itself was a snoozefest! Worst Super Bowl ever?? We know how Puka Nacua feels because he tweeted a dig at Seahawks QB Sam Darnold. What did everyone think of the Bad Bunny halftime show?? Kap defends Sam Darnold and goes through his whole Radio Rinaldi deal on how Darnold went from being a Jets bust to Super Bowl champ!

Recorded: April 4, 2022 | On this Best of the Bus, we’re throwing it back to when Sam Darnold hopped on the bus for a great conversation with The Boys. Sam walks through his football journey from his high school days and recruiting process all the way through his time at USC and into the NFL. The conversation dives into what it was like being part of that loaded QB class with Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen, and Sam breaks down the famous “seeing ghosts” moment and the real pressure that comes with playing quarterback at the highest level. The guys also get into Jets fan expectations, what it was like sharing a locker room with Cam Newton, and plenty of real locker room stories you won’t hear anywhere else. If you missed this one the first time around, this is a must listen. And if you already heard it, it’s absolutely worth running back again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Garret, Andrew, and Jagger transform into NFL general managers for a complete first-round mock draft covering all 32 picks, and the results spark immediate controversy. Fernando Mendoza predictably goes first overall to the Raiders, but the chaos begins at pick two when Jagger selects safety Caleb Downs for the Jets instead of trading back. The quarterback-desperate teams face brutal decisions with only three signal-callers selected: Mendoza at one, Ty Simpson to the Jets at 16, and Garrett Nussmeier to the Rams at 29 in Jagger's boldest call of the draft. Garret prioritizes trenches for the Browns, selecting Francis Mauigoa at six and Olaivavega Ioane at 24 to rebuild Cleveland's decimated offensive line. The wide receiver class scatters throughout the first round with Carnell Tate landing in Tennessee at four to pair with Cam Ward, Jordyn Tyson to New Orleans at eight, and Denzel Boston falling to Buffalo at 26 after Jagger admits he "re-reviewed the tape" and raised his grade. The most dynasty-relevant selection lands at 19 when Carolina selects tight end Kenyon Sadiq to provide Bryce Young another weapon alongside Tetairoa McMillan, creating what the crew agrees is a "hand-in-glove fit" for the rebuilding Panthers.

ICE Kicks Puppies. DHS Black Site Prisons. JD Vance is Garbage. A New Boat Strike. 17.5 Veteran Suicides Per Day. Super Bowl Picks and Bets, Ice Fishing, Chloe Kim Rocks Olympics. Trump is all gas, no brakes on this Super Bowl Friday—from posting a racist video from the White House depicting the Obama's as apes and escalating his war on the press, to unleashing ICE's culture of cruelty with gassed protesters, kicked‑in doors, kicked puppies and plans for giant warehouse‑style detention centers that could function as domestic black sites. In this all‑new episode of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff welcomes back the iconic Rachel Maddow for a sharp, extended, urgent and surprisingly hopeful breakdown of what she calls a “mad king” moment—and why the real work now is taking away Trump's tools of power, from the Justice Department and ICE to the Pentagon and the Insurrection Act. Rachel rarely does podcasts, but she does this one hosted by her old friend. They chop it up on how authoritarians depend on institutional cowardice and public exhaustion, and why disciplined, non‑violent, mass resistance and strategic shaming still work—even against a president who seems beyond embarrassment. They highlight ICE's evolving archipelago of dark sites, Congress finally “getting up on its hind legs” with a “don't obey illegal orders” push, and the catastrophic failure of imagination that could come if Americans don't prepare now for an Insurrection Act deployment to crush future protests. It's not all darkness: Rachel gets personal and takes us to her ice‑fishing happy place in Western Massachusetts and explains why chasing pike through thigh‑deep snow is her metaphor for stubborn joy and resistance, while Paul salutes Chloe Kim's Olympic patriotism and life with a Jets‑fan kid. They close with a Super Bowl Football Friday segment—debating Patriots–Seahawks, Drake May's jitters and Sam Darnold's late bloom—and a cross‑jersey bet that will leave either Paul in Pats gear or Rachel in Seahawks colors.

The hour starts with a full-on takedown of Giannis' “legends don't chase” victory lap, with one bold prediction: he is getting moved this summer and the tweet is going to age horribly. Then the convo pivots to NFL Honors, where Stafford wins MVP in a razor-thin race and it sparks a hilarious relitigation of last year's Giants debate: would you rather have gone all-in for Stafford, or be in the Jaxson Dart era right now? It gets even weirder with NFL Honors moments that left everyone confused, plus callers diving into Super Bowl strategy (Patriots defense vs Seahawks weapons), the never-ending Brady vs Belichick argument, and an alternate universe where the Jets drafted Brady in 2000. Along the way: a legendary Reese's slip-up, why Philly suddenly feels like it's falling apart, what Stoutland and Schwartz resignations could mean, the Giants adding Greg Roman, a Malik Nabers injury timeline breakdown, and a closer look at Russell Wilson's social media behavior that somehow makes Brady's “no dog in the fight” look normal.
With Super Bowl week as the backdrop, the conversation zooms out to the big picture question every New York fan is asking: how close are the Giants and Jets really? The Giants are front and center as the hosts draw direct parallels to the Patriots' rapid turnaround, from a young quarterback in Jaxson Dart to proven leadership under John Harbaugh. The similarities to New England Patriots and Drake Maye are hard to ignore, and the case is made that a double digit win jump is very realistic for the New York Giants. The focus then shifts to the Jets and why their path feels much longer. Using the Seattle Seahawks as the model, the discussion centers on building the roster first and finding the quarterback last, a formula that worked with Geno Smith and now Sam Darnold. The question becomes whether Aaron Glenn can make a similar year two leap to what Mike McDonald did in Seattle, or if the New York Jets are still years away. Along the way, the hosts debate whether there is one true formula to building a contender, why quarterback obsession can be misleading, and how close being close actually matters. Plus, Tiki Barber weighs in on just how well coached Seattle really is, and the show wraps with some very human locker room talk that only Super Bowl week can inspire.
From Radio Row, Jets DT Harrison Phillips delivers three brutally honest clips that cut right to the franchise's biggest issue: culture. He explains why a connected locker room beats raw talent, then drops a headline-grabber by calling the “Same Old Jets” mindset a “cancerous” problem that infects the building when losing starts to snowball. The guys also react to Brian Costello's follow-up clarification and why it actually makes Phillips' point even stronger. Then the show pivots to a wild sports-media moment where Evan finds out on-air that the Nets waived Cam Thomas, and spirals at the thought of him landing with the Knicks. Plus, NFL Honors quick hits (including Jaxson Dart's ROY vote), and a full breakdown of the “5 things you cannot do” at a Super Bowl watch party, including the chaos of split-TV streaming delays and the most controversial take of the hour: should funeral homes be closed on Super Bowl Sunday? Close it out with a reality check on tonight's St. John's vs UConn game at MSG and why February hype doesn't matter nearly as much as March.
Evan breaks down three must-hear Radio Row clips from Jets DT Harrison Phillips, starting with a simple truth: he'd take a connected team over a more talented one, every time, and even tells a classic “I literally pushed my lineman into the hole” story to prove it. Then it gets spicy. Phillips says Aaron Glenn inherited a “cancerous” vibe and explains how losing turns into a survival mindset that spreads from vets to young players. The conversation shifts when Brian Costello follows up and Phillips clarifies he wasn't targeting individuals, he meant the “Same Old Jets” mentality that kicks in once things go sideways. That turns into a bigger debate about whether “Same Old Jets” is a fan label or a real locker room infection, and why winning is the only cure. From there, the phones take over. Evan answers an all-time Jets favorite question and drops a curveball: Mo Lewis, and he's furious that a great 13-year Jet gets reduced to one hit. Then a Mets caller drags the show into trade rumor chaos, with Evan drawing a hard line on dealing Brett Baty or Mark Vientos for prospects, while also admitting Vientos is a perfect Yankees fit if the return is real major-league help.
This segment rips through a wild coaching carousel update: Jim Schwartz reportedly gets disrespected on his way out, then decides he's done with Cleveland and sits out, raising the big question of whether teams can still “hold rights” on coordinators the way they do with head coaches. From there, the spotlight swings to Jeff Stoutland's resignation in Philadelphia and why it screams dysfunction, especially after his run game coordinator role got yanked mid-season. The convo turns into “who benefits?” fast, with Jets and Giants angles, Frank Reich's connection, and the reality that if Philly blocks a lateral move, Stoutland might have to sit too. Add in the Eagles vibe check, AJ Brown trade chatter, retirement rumors, and suddenly the NFC East feels wide open, with Giants optimism creeping into the conversation again. Then it's calls: a Brady vs Belichick argument that spirals into a Jets-drafted-Brady alternate universe, why Super Bowls need luck plus infrastructure, and a reminder that the best Super Bowl is the one that is actually a football game, not a headline circus. Finally, the cherry on top: Brady's “no dog in the fight” gets compared to Russell Wilson's all-about-me feed, and the idea that Russ might secretly root against Seattle just to protect his own legacy.
