RUNDOWN Mitch opens Episode 362 with Danny O'Neil subbing in for an injured Hotshot Scott, then immediately pivots into Seahawks stress-testing: "a win is a win" vs. real offensive problems. Mitch and Danny joke about a bizarre LA Bowl unsportsmanlike call, then pivot to the Michigan vacancy and what it could mean for Jed Fisch (with Mitch arguing DeBoer's statement reads like a true "not leaving" while Fisch's sounds like a dodge). The segment then becomes a Seahawks therapy session: Mitch hates how they "punted the first half away," can't believe they needed six field goals to beat a limited Colts team, and points to first-down passing success as proof the staff has to help Sam Darnold with smarter sequencing. Mitch, Brady Henderson, and Jacson Bevens agree the Seahawks' 18–16 win over the Colts was one of the least satisfying victories imaginable, despite holding Indianapolis to just 215 total yards and improving to 11–3 . The conversation centers on chronic first-half offensive failures, Sam Darnold's uneven play being compounded by penalties and play-calling, and a defense that continues to carry the team. Neuheisel explains how his Washington State candidacy stalled after an initial Zoom interview with a search committee, never reaching the school president despite strong booster support, and reflects candidly on the likelihood he won't get another head-coaching opportunity. The conversation pivots to the chaos surrounding Michigan's vacancy, with Neuheisel analyzing why Jed Fisch's Harbaugh ties could complicate his candidacy and why DeBoer, Dillingham, or even NFL names may factor in. A visit from the KJArntz with Jason Puckett, who gleefully roasts him for failing to ask Rick Neuheisel about the Washington State job and then dives headfirst into college football chaos, speculating on ripple effects from Michigan's vacancy and Lane Kiffin's unique ability to torch multiple fanbases at once. The conversation veers into darkly comic sports misfortune, including Indiana losing a star defender during postgame celebrations, before shifting to hoops, where Puck raves about witnessing generational high school and college basketball talent up close.

On deck: (6:34) You can check a few more teams off the list for those who had playoff hopes. One of those teams are the Kansas City Chiefs who are officially eliminated in the AFC. To make matters worse, they've lost franchise QB, Patrick Mahomes to a torn ACL injury. How will this play out for KC moving forward? Also, the Packers suffered a potential season ending injury to their star LB Micah Parsons in a loss to Denver. I'll bring you up to speed on all of the latest permutations in both conferences with three weeks to play. (38:51) Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza is your Heisman Trophy winner in college football, winning by a large margin. But it was one of his fellow nominees that have a problem with the voters. (41:15) Oklahoma City finally lost a game. The San Antonio Spurs snapped a 16 game winning streak by beating the Thunder in the NBA Cup semifinals to face the Knicks in the Final tomorrow night. What does this mean for the Thunder as they are pursuing immortality? Dillon Brooks is at it again, mixing it up with LeBron James and getting ejected for his antics last night in Phoenix. Is this personal? (54:05) There were two big trades in the NHL over the weekend where the Edmonton Oilers acquire a goalie (Tristan Jarry) and the Minnesota Wild obtain a defenseman (Quinn Hughes). Who got the better of the deal? (1:01:24) The Mets pick up the pieces from a rough middle of last week to sign INF Jorge Polanco to play first base? Is this against what they stand for philosophically? And MUCH MORE in between.

The Queens Baseball Convention was billed as a celebration of Mets baseball — a fan fest bringing together legends, current players, media voices, and content creators. On this episode of Locked Up Sports, we break it all down. We discuss the good, including an excellent live taping of SNY's Baseball Night in New Yorkfeaturing Sal Licata, Laura Albanese, and Keith Raad, and the great energy from Mets fans and fellow content creators throughout the day. We also share thoughts on hearing from current Mets third baseman Brett Baty and what he had to say. But we also address the sad moment of the event — watching 1986 World Series Champion Jesse Orosco struggle through an interview, appearing confused, losing his train of thought, and unable to answer basic questions. As fans who grew up watching him be part of Mets history, it was tough to see and raises uncomfortable but important questions. A real, honest recap of a day Mets fans won't forget — for all the right and wrong reasons. #Mets #QueensBaseballConvention #LockedUpSports #LGM #NewYorkMets #MetsFans #SNY #BaseballNightInNY #JesseOrosco #BrettBaty #MetsCommunity #NYCSports

In today's Update Journal, we unpack the 48-hour period where being a Mets fan felt like getting hit by a city bus, backed over by an MTA supervisor, and then charged an extra fare because you “didn't tap.” Edwin Díaz packed his trumpets for Hollywood, Pete Alonso sailed off to Baltimore like he's auditioning for a reboot of The Wire, and In-N-Out removed “67” from the menu for reasons no living human understands. Meanwhile, holiday shoppers continue their annual tradition of forgetting other people exist, walking through Target like NPCs trying to glitch through walls. Buckle up — it's a wild one.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, Brad Lander, the chief fiscal officer of New York City, announced that he is challenging U.S. Rep Dan Goldman in a Democratic primary for a liberal district covering lower Manhattan and parts of brownstone Brooklyn.“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” actress who was struck and killed by a taxi while crossing a Midtown street was a Customs and Border Protection officer who had been looking forward to retiring — and was cherished for her warm greetings, her devastated neighbors say.And out in the American West, tens of thousands of residents in western Washington could face evacuation orders when another round of heavy rain drops on the region, threatening to bring catastrophic flooding as rivers near historic levels.

Show Open: David Stearns is coming off a brutal week, and EJ argues that while Stearns may believe he's the smartest person in the room, his recent decisions tell a different story. With frustration boiling over among the Mets fanbase, EJ asks whether that growing vitriol could put Stearns on the hot seat—and uses an NBA comparison to suggest it just might.
Winter is hitting, parent-teacher conferences are looming, and Dan and Frank kick off the Dan Marino “Rocket Man” episode with a mix of nostalgia, sports-radio fuel, and a full Week 13 NFL rewind. Before the games, the guys hit the MLB Hot Stove ahead of the Winter Meetings—Schwarber's rumored price tag, Philly's possible pivot plan (Realmuto + Bader + Bellinger), what it means for Castellanos and the DH spot, and the Mets' ripple effects if Alonso walks.Then it's college football reality: Early Signing Day, the Lane Kiffin-to-LSU drama, and a blunt take on modern “loyalty” in the NIL/portal era—where players chase life-changing money, schools chase wins, and coaches get replaced fast when expectations are out of sync with reality.Week 13 NFL recap brings the turbulence:Thanksgiving slate: Green Bay knocks off Detroit, the Cowboys clip the Chiefs again, and Cincinnati shocks Baltimore.Black Friday: Chicago runs all over Philly and the “Boo Birds” come out.Sunday chaos: Niners handle Cleveland, Jags roll Tennessee, Houston steals one in Indy (Rich nails the lone-wolf), Jets trip Atlanta, Tampa survives Arizona, and Carolina stuns the Rams—proof that the moment you crown a contender, they find a way to faceplant.Afternoon hammer: Seattle blanks Minnesota 26–0, and Buffalo rebounds by drilling Pittsburgh.The episode closes with more NFL coaching talk and a big-picture question: which teams are real contenders—and which ones are just wearing a costume.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/Roof Top Innovations the leading Roofing Company in Waco, Tomball surrounding areasWe focus on all types of roofing systems, with a focus on the best quality possible.
In the “Pete Rose episode,” Dan Fox and Frank Knight open with baseball—and the conversation turns quickly into a full-on Mets identity check. With Pete Alonso gone, Nimmo traded for Marcus Semien, and Edwin Díaz landing with the Dodgers, Frank tries to keep the panic in check: it's “wait-and-see” season in Queens. The guys debate whether this is a strategic reset or the start of a rebuild, whether committee platoons (including Jeff McNeil) can really work, and whether the Mets should push hard for Juan Soto now or wait for free agency—assuming Uncle Stevie's wallet stays open.Over in Philly, Dan reacts to the Phillies bringing back Kyle Schwarber on a five-year deal, weighing the short-term upside (power, leadership, clubhouse presence) against the long-term risk of paying for past performance. Alan checks in on the Yankees' unusually quiet offseason, including the debate around keeping Cody Bellinger—a versatile glove with a left-handed swing made for the short porch.Then it's college football mayhem: Penn State's coaching change, Ole Miss fallout, Lane Kiffin's “big-leagues vs. king-of-the-program” decision, and the Michigan scandal that has everyone asking what the program does next. The crew also takes a hard shot at Notre Dame's independence, arguing you can't complain about playoff politics while refusing to join a conference.Finally, the episode closes with Fox Brothers Alarms, the empty inbox (again), a Survivor Pool update that now includes a Week 18 tiebreaker plan, and a pivot into the Week 14 NFL recap—anchored by a quick historical nod to December 7th as “a day that will live in infamy.”Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/Roof Top Innovations the leading Roofing Company in Waco, Tomball surrounding areasWe focus on all types of roofing systems, with a focus on the best quality possible.

The Mets have taken a wrecking ball to their core, and Evan Roberts is livid with David Stearns and Steve Cohen, while Sal Licata says the organization deserves the benefit of the doubt after letting Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz go. Joe Benigno says the Wilpons would have kept Alonso, and Boomer Esiason declares this offseason "The Great Met Reset."
Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz bolted in consecutive days, leaving Mets fans up in arms at two stars leaving for seemingly reasonable contracts. All of our main shows had heated reactions to the news, ranging from ripping the team to praising the organization for having the guts to shake things up.
From 'Rico Brogna' (subscribe here): The Mets weren't as active at the winter meetings as it looks. It was more about losing Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso and not gaining a thing. Let's hear what the President of Baseball Operations has to say about the offseason so far.
