Evan Roberts unloads on Plaxico Burress for comparing his 2011 season with the Jets to prison, arguing that Burress joined a championship-caliber team coming off back-to-back AFC title game appearances. Tiki Barber laughs at the joke but agrees it ignores the reality of a Jets team that started 8-5 before collapsing and beginning a brutal stretch of franchise failure. Evan also explains why Francisco Lindor's second half could reshape the Mets' future, whether Lindor stays or raises his trade value. A lost phone creates a Citi Field bathroom dilemma, while a Yankees caller sparks a heated argument over Hal and George Steinbrenner, Carlos Beltran and Bernie Williams. Evan admits he went below the belt, then reveals the childhood incident that started his bizarre Bernie grudge.
Jerry's got Dave Sims call as the Yankees beat the White Sox with Ali Sanchez hitting his first career HR. Max Fried said he was not great, not terrible. The Mets beat the Braves as Lindor drove in 6 with a triple and two home runs. Plaxico Burress was with Carton and Lil' Wayne and was asked which was worse, playing for the Jets or going to prison.
Jerry has audio from a show Gio referenced from 2018 while on location where Gio went out drinking with friends the night before and wasn't feeling well. The Mets beat the Braves as Lindor homered twice. We also heard from Andy Reid on the shooting of Eric Bieniemy's wife.

David Stearns refuses to directly confirm that Francisco Lindor is part of the Mets' future, and Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash hear a clear message: Stearns wants him gone. Evan Roberts initially interprets the answer as reassurance, then questions whether his Mets fandom is affecting what he hears. They debate whether a Lindor trade is more likely in the offseason and warn that moving a recent MVP candidate without a major return would be a crushing mistake.

Evan Roberts initially hears the opposite, then wonders whether his Mets fandom is clouding his judgment. They debate whether a Lindor trade is coming this offseason and warn that moving a recent MVP candidate for a marginal prospect and another bloated contract would be unacceptable.
Boomer Esiason has doubled down on his stance that the Mets need to trade Francisco Lindor, and wonders if the shortstop still wants to be in Queens. Plus, the Evan and Tiki crew relate to the SNY announcers, who can't seem to help themselves when it comes to criticizing the putrid Mets. Bobby Valentine joined Craig Carton to discuss what this team needs to do to get things turned around, and Evan explains why he would cheer for Edwin Diaz when he returns to Queens this weekend.

Jerry drops his first update on Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s two homers in a Yankees win over the Pirates, a tame benches-clearing incident, and Jazz's supreme confidence. With local storms approaching, Gio admits he wants to see a tornado, prompting a chat on golfing in severe weather, followed by Peralta's confusion over his season-long struggles. Meanwhile, Rich Paul says LeBron James won't rush his decision, though Gio predicts a Miami move for year-round golf, and the hour wraps with a wild 2001 Good Day New York clip featuring a heated on-air feud.

Giant Mess podcast host. Neal Lynch is breaking down the turbulent and largely disappointing 2026 season for the New York Mets up to the All-Star Break. From a disastrous 10-21 start in April to a brief glimmer of hope in May, it has been a rough ride that culminated in a major collapse and the firing of manager Carlos Mendoza in June. We discuss the standout performances from rookies Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing, plus Juan Soto carrying the offense and earning a starting nod in the 2026 All-Star Game. However, with a 40-57 record at the break, baffling mental errors on the basepaths, and Little League-level defense, the Mets have their worst halfway record since 2018. Join us as we explore the looming August 3 trade deadline and whether the front office will sell off pieces like Freddy Peralta, Luke Weaver, and impending free agents like Brooks Raley. We also cover the struggles and staggering strikeout rates of major additions like Bo Bichette, Steve Cohen's confidence in President of Baseball Operations David Stearns, and what the rest of this season holds for interim manager Andy Green.#mets #nymets #newyorkmets #mlb #baseball #carlosmendoza #juansoto #franciscolindor #mlbtradedeadline #mlbtraderumors #davidstearns #stevecohen #metsbaseball NY Mets Fan Rants & Analysis - https://bit.ly/MetsYTPlaylist Movie Reviews - https://bit.ly/GiantMessMovieReviews TV Show Reactions - https://bit.ly/GiantMessTV Funny Stories - https://bit.ly/GiantMessFunnyStoriesABOUT NEAL LYNCH:Neal Lynch is the creator and host of Giant Mess, a podcast blending sports commentary, pop culture analysis, and storytelling.

Gio said it must be great to be Giancarlo Stanton as his whole life is the off season, he's great looking and he has a ton of cash. Also, Jerry would like to see Francisco Lindor to the Yankees.
Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber search for signs of hope across New York sports, from Zack Thornton's encouraging outing for the Mets to Geno Smith's potential fit with the Jets. They also debate whether Lindor can reclaim his leadership role by confronting his own struggles and demanding more from a team that has lost its way. The Yankees remain a major concern as Aaron Judge works toward a return and the lineup tries to manufacture runs without him. Shaun and Tiki examine the limits of small ball, the need to punish weak pitching, and whether stronger starting pitching and a reshaped bullpen can keep their championship hopes alive.
C-Lo starts with Ben Rice's triple in the 8th that ended up being the game winner. Cam Schlittler will not pitch in the All-Star Game because of rest days. The Mets led the Red Sox 2-0 in the ninth with Devin Williams on the mound and Lindor made an error and the Mets lost and got swept.
Jerry and John Franco are in for Boomer & Gio today, starting with where the Mets and Yankees stand at the All-Star break halfway mark and why guys get hurt more now than in the 1980s. Next, C-Lo brings his first update featuring the sound of Ben Rice's game-winning triple, followed by word that Cam Schlittler will not pitch in the All-Star Game due to rest days. Then, we break down how the Mets led the Red Sox 2-0 in the ninth before a Lindor error and a Devin Williams blown save led to a loss and a sweep, featuring comments from both players. Finally, Ben Rice hits tonight's HR Derby under the ultimate pressure: his dad is pitching to him.

Ken and Anthony play audio of ESPN's Bill Barnwell making the case that Jared Verse could finish the season with more sacks than Myles Garrett, citing the Rams' deep defensive line rotation and potential double teams on Garrett as the Browns' clear focal point. The hosts admit it's a hot take but concede the reasoning has merit, then pivot to worrying aloud about unfair comparisons Browns fans might make between the two pass rushers all season. They also revisit earlier audio of Justin Lada explaining why Jose Ramirez would likely support a Francisco Lindor reunion despite Lindor's down year. The segment closes with a broader discussion on why Cleveland's playoff-hunt fatigue makes trade buzz harder to gauge given how many AL teams remain in contention.
HOUR 5. Positive Tommy says to ignore the rumors because Lindor isn't going anywhere, and he also believes that the Mets are a few quality starters away from competing once again
Mike Francesa claims Mets are shopping Lindor; Ken Rosenthal disagrees

Ken and Anthony continue debating a hypothetical Francisco Lindor reunion, with Ken now warming to the idea if it means upgrading a lineup spot currently held by Brayan Rocchio. A caller raises the idea that any Lindor trade should be run by Jose Ramirez first, since Jose took a hometown discount to stay in Cleveland, sparking a debate over how much say Jose should have in roster moves. The hosts agree Cleveland's strong clubhouse culture, unlike the dysfunctional Mets, is part of why the team has stayed competitive, and Ken says he'd defer to Jose's read on the potential addition. The segment closes by teasing the growing national criticism of Donovan Mitchell's new contract, which Anthony predicted weeks in advance.
Ken and Anthony debate a hypothetical Guardians trade for Francisco Lindor amid the Mets' clubhouse dysfunction, with Ken surprisingly open to the idea despite the money and Anthony firmly against it. Anthony argues it's not about the contract but the power dynamic, questioning whether Lindor would want to return to a clubhouse that's unquestionably Jose Ramirez's team after leaving Cleveland the way he did. They also touch on Joey Cantillo's rough second inning, defending his "battler" reputation as a legit third-starter ceiling rather than a knock, before setting up the Guardians' rotation questions heading into the All-Star break.

Could tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto be affecting the Mets, or is their relationship being overanalyzed? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber examine how the arrival of Soto may have changed the clubhouse dynamic, whether Lindor should remain part of the Mets' future, and why trading a star shortstop is easier to suggest than execute. The conversation also turns to the Yankees' flaws, Aaron Boone's continued faith in Anthony Volpe, and whether New York is still the best team in a weak American League. Plus, Evan and Tiki react to Sean Payton's remarkable idea involving Bill Belichick, debate the appeal of European soccer, and explore how a potential MLB lockout could reshape free agency.
Did one missing welcome message create lasting tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto? Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate the reported origin of their strained relationship, how Soto changed the Mets clubhouse hierarchy, and whether any realistic Lindor trade could actually improve the team. The conversation shifts to the Yankees and their continued faith in Anthony Volpe despite mounting frustration from fans. Evan and Tiki also discuss whether Jose Caballero deserves the shortstop job, why Jasson Dominguez still needs more time, what happened to Austin Wells, and whether the Yankees remain the best option in a flawed American League.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the idea that the Mets have to trade Francisco Lindor, pushing back on whether that framing makes sense while weighing what kind of deal would actually be worth considering. The conversation also digs into Juan Soto, Steve Cohen, Lindor's leadership, and why any trade talk needs to start with making the Mets better. The hour also covers the Yankees' issues up the middle, what Brian Cashman may need to fix at catcher, and a full breakdown of the United States matchup with Belgium. Plus, Evan revisits a wild Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce bet, debates soccer tactics with Alex, and shares his review of the new Young Washington movie.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into a wild sports controversy as Team USA gets new life after Folarin Balogun's red card suspension is put on hold. The guys debate whether government involvement in sports crossed a line, why the soccer world is furious, and why American fans may see the entire situation very differently. The show also turns to growing concern around the Yankees, from Carlos Rodon's injury and a suddenly vulnerable rotation to an offense that continues to disappear in big spots. With the Rays series looming, Evan and Tiki weigh whether this is just another rough stretch or a true warning sign for a team that may need help fast.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the idea that the Mets have to trade Francisco Lindor, questioning whether the team should even think that way unless the return clearly makes them better. They break down Lindor's contract, his leadership, his fit with Juan Soto, and why Steve Cohen's comments may have reopened an unnecessary conversation. The discussion also turns to the Yankees and their glaring issues up the middle, from catcher to shortstop to second base. Evan and Tiki examine what Brian Cashman may need to address at the trade deadline, why Anthony Volpe's standing has changed, and how injuries and roster holes have shaped the Yankees' current concerns.
