The guys react to the latest coaching chaos and pivot back to the Giants, where the John Harbaugh hire briefly felt shakier than expected late Friday. With Ian O'Connor's reporting in hand, they lay out what the holdup actually was: Harbaugh pushing for real influence across the entire organization, from staff and spending to analytics and infrastructure, plus clarity on who wins a draft-day disagreement with Joe Schoen. They also run through the behind-the-scenes pressure points, including a second quiet meeting with Chris Mara, the Titans still lingering in the background, and John Mara stepping in to finally close it. From there, the conversation turns to what this new power structure means, how it could reshape the Giants' building and locker room culture, and why Giants fans are suddenly talking like a turnaround is coming fast.

Hour 2 opens with the latest coaching dominoes and the final details behind the John Harbaugh hiring. The crew reacts to Ian O'Connor's reporting on what actually caused the late-week holdup, including Harbaugh pushing for real organizational control across the entire operation and clarity on who wins a draft-day stalemate with Joe Schoen. They discuss how close it got, why the Titans were still in the mix deep into the weekend, and how John Mara stepped in to finish it. From there, the conversation shifts to what this means inside the Giants building: a potential staff shakeup, a new chain of command, and a Harbaugh-driven culture reset in a locker room that has not always felt fully together. The hour rolls on with calls and a look at what comes next with coordinators and the remaining coaching openings.

Anthony and Alex break down the massive organizational changes following the hiring of John Harbaugh.

Plus, a hilarious and revealing “game of honesty” breaks out as Big Mac is asked if he'd trade Jaxson Dart for just about every quarterback in the NFL with some shocking answers.

Anthony and Alex react to the tense breaking news that John Harbaugh has completed his all-day interview with the New York Giants but has left the facility without a contract.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle dive deep into the NFL coaching carousel as Mike Tomlin officially steps away, sparking debate over whether teams like the Jets should suffer one more year to land a proven winner. The guys break down why the Giants appear to be the favorites for John Harbaugh, reveal behind-the-scenes reporting on John Mara, Eli Manning, and Brian Daboll reaching out, and give Daboll major credit for putting ego aside to support Jaxson Dart.

Anthony and Alex react to the developing story that General Manager Joe Schoen is willing to "adjust his role" in order to secure John Harbaugh as the next head coach. After three seasons of struggles, Schoen is reportedly acting as a "relentless recruiter" to bring a winning culture to East Rutherford—even if it means giving up roster control.

Jerry's update covers the Jets' QB search, Sean McVay's playoff revenge tour, and the Islanders' 9-0 annihilation of the Devils.

BT & Sal immediately address the "elephant in the room"—the widely reported, yet unofficial, inevitable return of Craig Carton—and the future implications for their show. With that out of the way, the focus shifts to the Giants' "unstable mess." Sal emphatically argues that Joe Shane's four-year tenure has resulted in regression, and his continued presence should be a "fireable offense" that owner John Mara must correct. Tierney argues that, despite the chaos, the Giants job is now "incredibly appealing" due to the presence of QB Jaxson Dart and the potential for a clean GM/Coach synergy, possibly featuring a proven veteran like Thomas Dimitroff. They debate whether a big name like Bill Belichick is the right fit, with Tierney questioning if Belichick's age and the "unnecessary noise" from his personal life could be a problem in the high-pressure New York market. Finally, they cover the Perfect Parlay standings, with BT on a heater (6-0 in the last two weeks!) surging past Sal, who declares he's playing "under protest" due to a half-point line discrepancy on his missed Turkey Day Teaser.

BT and Sal dive into a heated ranking of New York sports owners, judging them not just by success, but by passion versus pure business. Sal argues that John Mara is the most passionate, putting him at number one because he "bleeds blue" and is destroyed by losses. They place Steve Cohen (Mets) and Jon Ledecky (Islanders) high on the "passion" list, calling them hands-on and emotional. Conversely, they brand Hal Steinbrenner (Yankees) and James Dolan (Knicks/Rangers) as the "bottom-line bosses," prioritizing business over fanatical winning. Woody Johnson (Jets) is acknowledged for his passion and major facility investment, but his lack of a "know-how" strategy keeps him out of the top tier. The debate ultimately pits the caring owners against the calculating ones in a fiery New York sports hierarchy.

BT & Sal ignite a fiery debate over Hal Steinbrenner's ownership of the Yankees, questioning if he prioritizes winning or treating the team strictly as a business, unlike his father, George. They criticize Hal for being "too complacent" with 90-win seasons and constantly referencing the luxury tax, arguing he must either spend more to compensate for team shortcomings or fire the people who spend his money poorly. The discussion pivots to Brian Cashman, asking why he continues to receive a pass despite the team's long championship drought and failure to adapt to the modern game, particularly in player development and scouting. Finally, the hosts rank New York's sports owners (Mara, Woody, Cohen, Dolan, Ledecky) based on their perceived passion vs. business focus, concluding that John Mara is the most passionate, while Hal Steinbrenner and James Dolan lean heavily toward business-first priorities.

BT, Sal, and Hoff unleash "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth," testing the hottest takes in New York sports and beyond! The trio goes head-to-head on the Mets' looming free agency: Will Edwin Diaz be back in 2026, or will the Dodgers steal him? They clash over baseball insider Jeff Passan's predictions, debating if Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger could be teammates and if the Yankees can afford to lose Bellinger. Finally, a fiery NFL/NHL crossover question: will the Rangers' home win total in November surpass the combined home wins of the Jets and Giants? The segment closes with a serious discussion about the influence of John Mara's health and family loyalty on the Giants' front office decisions.

BT & Sal launch into a fiery debate over the Giants' messy front office, fueled by Ian O'Connor's report suggesting Joe Schoen's return is not a "certainty" and that his retention for the coaching search may be due to the health of John Mara. The hosts are infuriated that Schoen was spared while Daboll was fired, pointing to the GM's 20-40-1 record over four years and the Giants' "lack of awareness." They discuss the need for a "truth teller" to break the team's cycle of mistakes and debate whether a low-risk veteran coach like Mike McCarthy or a high-upside gamble is the right move. The segment is punctuated by the "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth" baseball predictions (Diaz to the Dodgers? Tucker and Bellinger as teammates?) and Sal's ticket debacles, including a jinxed free Rangers game that was pulled last minute, right before the team finally broke its home scoring drought!

BT & Sal are furious at the Giants' "idiotic decision" to fire Head Coach Brian Daboll while retaining GM Joe Schoen to lead the next coaching search. They slam Schoen's track record—including his draft misses and the handling of the roster—arguing he hasn't "earned the right" to hire another coach, which they say proves the franchise is "lost" and "accepting losing." NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joins the fire to dissect Daboll's risky play-calling and its impact on QB Jaxson Dart. The discussion also dives into the murky waters of ownership (and John Mara's health), a fiery segment of "Bald Faced Lie, Bald Faced Truth" baseball predictions, and Sal's ticket jinx, where a free Rangers game was pulled right before the team broke its scoring drought. Finally, the segment ends with a heated hypothetical: Would you take a Soulmate Test that reveals your true match?

BT & Sal unleash a week of fiery takes on the spiraling New York Giants organization. They declare the regime "finished" after a miserable three consecutive 2-7 starts, demanding John Mara fire both Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen to initiate a complete culture reset. The hosts blast any suggestion of splitting the ticket as an "epic disaster." The debate escalates with a powerful argument for the Giants to "do whatever they can to go get Belichick" as the only acceptable gamble for a winning coach. In earth-shattering Jets news, BT & Sal react to the shocking trade of star CB Sauce Gardner for two first-round picks and a wide receiver, declaring the move a "home run" that gives GM Moogy the necessary assets to accelerate the rebuild and clean house. Segments also include ranting about "Streaming Hell" for sports fans, dissecting the messy Mets' offseason (Montas's contract), and tackling Bald-Faced Lie/Truth on trades, Pete Alonso's MVP votes, and Aaron Boone's job security.

BT & Sal erupt over the New York Giants' spiraling dysfunction, demanding John Mara fire both Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, arguing that keeping one or neither would be a "worst-case" scenario given the team's miserable three-year record. They weigh veteran coaching options like Mike McCarthy and Bill Belichick against the risk of a "hot coordinator." The hosts also react to the earth-shattering breaking news that the Jets have traded star CB Sauce Gardner to the Colts for two first-round picks, immediately bringing on NFL Insider Brian Baldinger. Baldi gives his candid film breakdown of Sauce's recent play and the implications of this bold move on the Jets' culture and future. Finally, they tackle the New York Knicks' four-and-three start under Mike Brown, debating whether the Karl-Anthony Towns trade has solved their problems and expressing frustration with the team's "evaluation mode" mindset despite championship aspirations. Would you like me to elaborate on the Giants' coaching options or dive deeper into the implications of the Sauce Gardner trade?

BT & Sal unleash a torrent of criticism after the Giants' brutal 2-7 start, declaring that John Mara's patience is now a clear mistake. The hosts argue that after four years, the results are an "absolute failure," making the firing of both GM Joe Schoen and Head Coach Brian Daboll justifiable and necessary. They savage the team's "lack of want" and "player regression," pointing to plays where even star Dexter Lawrence appeared to quit, calling it a direct indictment of the coaching staff. The segment concludes with a plea for ownership to impose a "freeze on everything" at the upcoming trade deadline, arguing that a "dead man walking" regime should not be allowed to make decisions on the future roster.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery barrage on the Giants' front office and coaching staff, definitively declaring the tenures of GM Joe Schoen and Head Coach Brian Daboll "absolutely over." The hosts argue that the team's abysmal performance—including a third straight 2-7 start, horrific play-calling, and a total lack of effort on defense—is indefensible, even with the emergence of QB Jaxson Dart. They reject the idea that keeping Daboll is necessary to preserve Dart's development, demanding that John Mara fire both men to prevent the next regime from inheriting a losing culture and a poorly constructed roster. The hosts slam the team for being "weak, disengaged, and poorly built," concluding that after four years and no stability, a complete organizational overhaul is the only recourse.

The New York Giants historic collapse against Denver overshadowed what was a promising effort by rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. On this episode, we look at how the defense let the team down again, why John Mara might have a quick trigger finger, and why there are alarming patterns. Want more great content?

We Stomped You Out S8E5: Saquon's Trade Drama & Turnover Circus in the Big EasyWhat a week for Big Blue drama. First, we find out Saquon Barkley wanted out back in 2023 — asked for a trade, but John Mara shut it down like a bouncer at 2 AM. So while Saquon's ballin' somewhere else, we're left watching this circus unfold.The Giants just got smacked 26-14 by the Saints — and let's be real, it was ugly. Five straight turnovers. Count ‘em — five. Jaxson Dart looked like a rookie for the first time all year, tossing two picks and coughing up the ball under pressure. Cam Skattebo joined the turnover party with a red-zone fumble that killed momentum, and Darius Slayton? Bro, enough's enough — another brutal drop and a fumble. The wide receiver crew as a whole might as well be running routes with oven mitts on. The defense kept ‘em in it early, but when your offense treats the ball like a hot potato, it's curtains.Farace is heated about the lack of accountability, Tim's ready to unleash a Good, Bad, and Ugly segment that might need three parts, and Dave's probably sticking pins in his Daniel Jones voodoo doll while laughing through the pain.Now the Giants limp back home for Thursday Night Football against the hated Eagles. Philly's defense is licking its chops, and if the turnovers don't stop, this could get real embarrassing, real fast. Can Dart bounce back? Can anyone catch a pass? Or are we looking at another primetime meltdown? Strap in — this one's gonna be spicy. #NYGiants #Giants #GMEN #WeStompedYouOut #PopCulturePros

Send us a textGiants fans, Week 4 brought both heartbreak and resilience. John Mara revealed he's battling cancer but remains active with the team, asking for privacy while he undergoes treatment. Wide receiver Malik Nabers, one of the most exciting young talents on the roster, is now out for the season with a torn ACL—yet another brutal MetLife turf injury that has fans demanding change.How do the Giants replace Nabers? Odell Beckham Jr. rumors won't die, but realistic names range from Isaiah Hodgins to Gabe Davis, Jakobi Meyers, Chris Olave, and other veteran options like Tyler Boyd, Nelson Agholor, or Robert Woods. We break down every possibility and what actually makes sense for Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll's roster.Can the turf finally be replaced after years of devastating ACL and Achilles injuries at MetLife? From Rodgers to Shepherd to now Nabers, the list keeps growing. Fans have had enough—and so have we.Despite the injury chaos, did the Giants turn a corner? The defense racked up 27 pressures and 2 picks on Justin Herbert, while the run game produced 161 yards. Still, questions remain about red zone execution and the offense's ceiling. We also run through the full NFL Week 4 slate, from the Seahawks edging the Cardinals to the Cowboys-Packers wild finish.What do you think—can the Giants survive without Malik Nabers?

The crew dives headfirst into NFL Week One, where they call out everyone from Ravens' coach John Harbaugh for conservative play-calling to Giants' owner John Mara for the team's abysmal start.

We talk about a couple "Buzzer Beaters," touching on major injuries plaguing the Phillies, the fallout of the WNBA season following Caitlin Clark's injury, and a recap of the US Open.Finally, they poured one out for two sports legends who recently passed away: longtime MLB player and manager Davey Johnson and iconic NHL goalie Ken Dryden.
