The Coach also settles New York's greatest debates, naming Pearl Washington and Kenny Anderson as the ultimate handles and Chris Mullin as the city's premier marksman.

Another week, another round of College Football chaos, and Notre Dame is at the center of all of it. We dig into why the Irish bailed on bowl season, why the committee bent over backwards for Alabama and the ACC, and how James Madison crashing the party might actually fix the Playoff moving forward.

Plus: Oregon losing its shine, one of the wildest postgame interviews of the year, LeBron conspiracy theories, Xavier sweeping the Crosstown Shootout, MLB insanity with the Dodgers, Reds missing on Schwarber, and the growing Saudi shadow over baseball. We even close with private equity invading Utah athletics, the AP Poll telling on itself, and a FIFA “Peace Prize” that looks like it was handed out in homeroom.

BT & Sal dive into the state of New York football, declaring the Giants' season "over" and shifting focus to the Jets, whose "stock is trending up" due to better infrastructure, young talent development (like AD Mitchell), and winning three of their last five. They contrast this with the Giants' lack of cap space and the need to "fire everybody" from the front office down. The discussion pivots to baseball, debating the contentious question of Pete Alonso's next contract. Sal defends his $180M/6-year line in a fiery exchange with a caller who suggests the Mets should let Pete walk and rely on Mark Vientos—a prospect Sal vehemently dismisses. Finally, they cover the Saint John's Johnnies Report, noting the team's surprising four-and-three start and the need for Pitino to tighten the rotation and defense. The segment ends with the "Call of the Day," a shocking, dumped-out call that leads to a hilarious discussion about Juan Soto's patience and the viral Wes Steinberg fake news tweet that garnered 25 million views.

BT and Sal dive into the state of St. John's basketball following a tough loss to Iowa State in the stacked Vegas tournament. Tierney expresses his frustration, stating the team is having a "rough time finding their identity" and is filled with "puppies" who lack the "dog" mentality of last year's squad. He questions whether point guard Dylan Darling is a full-time solution and notes that star forwards Zuby Ejiofor and Bryce Hopkins seem to be playing in each other's way. The hosts lament the loss of the old Big East rivalries (like St. John's vs. Syracuse) due to the "unforgivable" nature of conference realignment. The segment wraps up by looking ahead to the Johnnies' pivotal matchup against Baylor, demanding a bounce-back performance.
