The great John Minko stops by. He retired from WFAN 5 years ago. He also does St. John's games so we talked to him about that as well.
Gio and Carl Banks finally agree — what's going on with Dexter Lawrence? Banks says, ‘nobody respects you anymore.' Boomer reminisces about watching Bill Cowher, we debate MLB intentional walks, and Jerry's back with the sounds of Freddie Freeman's 18-inning walk-off. The Chiefs crush the Commanders, Billy Bob Thornton overstays his Manningcast welcome, Sydney Sweeney shines on BT & Sal, and John Minko joins us with stories from WFAN and St. John's games.
BT & Sal's Call of the Day is a personal, fiery segment with "The Mink Man," John Minko, discussing his truly depressing last day on the job. Minko recounts the betrayal of being forced to sign off from his basement instead of the studio, only to discover his station email was "gone"—a sign, he says, that "they couldn't wait to get rid of me." The hosts, while busting his chops, reflect on how much the radio lifer loves the station and how much he is missed, calling his send-off "dishearteningly pathetic" and an "unceremonious" final cut.
BT & Sal welcome back their old friend, the legendary John Minko, for a candid interview. The "Mink Man" doesn't hold back, detailing the sad truth of his final day at The Fan and revealing he felt like a "corporate spy" upon the station's launch in 1987, when management wanted him "nowhere near" the daytime studio. Minko also discusses the revitalization of the St. John's basketball program under Rick Pitino, his current relationship with Mike Francesa and Chris Russo, and his shocking (and humble) claim of shooting a $90$ on a full golf course. Finally, the guys touch on their Halloween plans and whether Minko should write a book about the station's iconic history.
BT & Sal dive into the latest Giants drama, dissecting Carl Banks' surprisingly direct and fiery critique of Dexter Lawrence's flagging performance, and question if the verbal shots are a desperate attempt at motivation. They also analyze reports surrounding a potential Kayvon Thibodeaux trade, asking if the Giants should commit long-term to the defensive end given the unit's underperformance. Plus, the guys recap the "Perfect Parlay" segment, where Hoff holds the lead despite a bad week and Sal laments getting burned by a Jets comeback. John Minko stops by for the "Call of the Day" and a funny-but-sad story about his final day at The Fan. The show closes with a passionate debate on a potential new baseball rule limiting intentional walks, debating if the need for entertainment outweighs pure strategy (and whether it's even enforceable).
BT & Sal launch a fiery critique on the Mets and Yankees, arguing they are light years behind the Dodgers who combine aggressive spending (Ohtani, Yamamoto, Snell) with smart trading. They challenge New York to be "great, not just good" by flexing their financial muscle in multiple ways. The debate centers on the Mets' J.T. Ginn McLain dilemma: is he an untouchable asset, or should they trade him for an immediate ace like Skubal? Plus, NFL insider Jordan Schultz's report on the Giants potentially trading Kayvon Thibodeaux sparks a discussion on helping Jackson Dart's development. Fan legend John Minko joins the show to share his bittersweet retirement story and a wild tale about being eyed as a "corporate spy" when WFAN began. Then, NFL analyst Brian Baldinger breaks down Dexter Lawrence's underwhelming performance and why the Giants must get a receiver to help Dart.

Boomer loves the hats at the Kentucky Derby. Gio wonders if going to the Masters is cool.
The Titans said they will not pass on a generational talent in the draft. That person is most likely Travis Hunter and not a quarterback.

Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with some preview sounds for this weekend's NFL Wild Card games. Mike Tomlin is open to any combination of quarterbacks as they face the Ravens. Mike McDaniel talked about meeting with Tyreek Hill about the issues they had in the last game. Gio said John Minko looks like a guy who signed the constitution as St. John's beat Xavier. The Moment of The Day: C-Lo had a cyst removed, Boomer gags at a cyst description. In the final segment of the show, the team with the worst chance to win the Super Bowl is the Houston Texans (of the teams in the playoffs of course). The Lions have the best odds.
Hour 1 The Raiders fired Antonio Pierce and Tom Brady is going to be one of the guys in on the hiring of the new coach. Can Brady and the Raiders outbid the Patriots for Mike Vrabel? Gio said so far with the Jets coaching situation, there have been no leaks. We haven't heard anything about the Vrabel or Rex Ryan interviews other than they happened. The Jets still don't have a GM and they're interviewing head coaches. Gio is fine with that because he thinks the head coach has to be the alpha male. If they bring Rex in with Aaron Rodgers, who's running the offense? Boomer thinks what's going on in Dallas with Mike McCarthy is interesting. Gio thinks they are working on a contract which is why they didn't let him go interview with the Bears. Jerry is here for his first update of the day and starts with Mike Francesa saying he could build a team for the Jets. It involves Rex as defensive coordinator with ‘unusual authority'. Jim Harbaugh talked about signing Zeke Elliott. Justin Herbert was asked when he realized Harbaugh was sort of ‘out there'. Mike Tomlin was asked about his QB situation.
