It sounds impossible, but there is a slight chance that the Giants can shed enough Salary to get close to $100 Million dollars in salary cap. Plus, Craig and C-Mac rank the levels of dumb, and why Juan Soto seems more motivated playing in the WBC.

Gilbert Arenas explains why he thinks DeAndre Ayton isn't fitting in well with the Lakers. The Lakers will play 6 of their next 8 games against quality opponents who are above them in the standings. Cody Bellinger speaks out against the notion that the Dodgers are bad for baseball (Aaron Judge also agrees).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Green Bay Packers still have work to do before they are "Salary Cap-compliant" by the start of the New League Year next week. Also, considering they're likely to lose quarterback Malik Willis, left tackle Rasheed Walker and others via free agency, the Packers are likely to be rewarded handsomely in the form of compensatory picks in next year's draft, which could be a factor in how they approach this offseason. Salary Cap guru Ken Ingalls joins the show to tackle the Packers' biggest offseason questions, as well as who and what they're likely to do via Free Agency.

0:00 - Word on the street is...MLB Owners want to establish a Salary Cap and a Floor in the next CBA negotiation. And the cap amount they're (supposedly) going to propose would absolutely cripple the big spenders like the Dodgers. They'd have to gut half their roster tomorrow. The MLB is 110% headed for another lockout.18:08 - The Cartoon Voice of Your Colorado Avalanche Kyle Keefe joined the show to break down his unique broadcast experience from yesterday.

Vikings Currently $40M Over the Salary Cap --- A Northern Digital Production

The 4th and final hour of Evan & Tiki is packed with big-picture sports debates, passionate arguments, and classic WFAN chaos. The guys dive deep into the growing tanking problem in the NBA, reacting to proposed changes from Adam Silver — and why none of them truly fix the issue. Evan presents his bold solution: a postseason-style tournament for non-playoff teams where the winner earns BOTH the No. 1 draft pick and a playoff berth. Would that finally end tanking for good?

Everything you need to understand about baseball's looming labor war, all in one conversation. The Athletic's Evan Drellich joins to break down the stunning fallout from Tony Clark's exit, the federal investigation cloud hanging over the union, and why installing Bruce Meyer just months before bargaining begins is far from ideal. We dig into the biggest question facing the sport: is a salary cap showdown inevitable? Hear why owners are expected to push hard for one, why players have fought it for decades, and how internal ownership politics could decide everything before negotiations with players even begin. The discussion also explores franchise values, skyrocketing player salaries, shrinking local TV money, and why even big-market teams might secretly benefit from a cap. Plus: could games actually be lost, or will too much money on the line force a deal? Would replacement players ever be considered in today's union landscape? How deferred mega-contracts like the Dodgers' are fueling owner vs. owner tension. And why revenue sharing, not a cap, might be the real battleground. Finally, the hosts react to Chris Bassett's comments on parity, debate whether MLB's system already produces competitive balance, and land on the fan's biggest frustration: without financial transparency from ownership, how can anyone trust the argument for a salary cap at all? A comprehensive, no-nonsense breakdown of the power struggle that could reshape baseball's future.

It starts with a deep dive into baseball's labor storm, but this segment goes everywhere. The Athletic's Evan Drellich joins to unpack the fallout from Tony Clark's exit, Bruce Meyer taking charge, looming CBA negotiations, salary cap battles, revenue sharing fights, deferred contracts, and whether missing games or even replacement players could become reality. From there, the conversation turns into a full-blown fan perspective on money in sports, why nobody trusts ownership finances, whether teams like the Dodgers are actually doing anything wrong by spending, and how big-market clubs, small-market teams, and franchise values all collide behind the scenes. And because no show stays serious for long, the hour also veers into classic midday chaos: debates about who really makes money in baseball, YES Network rabbit holes, Cinco-style rankings of the WORST months of the year (sparked by a brutal winter), callers chiming in with hot takes, Olympic vs. WBC fandom arguments, Tom Brady hypotheticals, food polls, and pure radio nonsense. Smart analysis, fan frustration, unexpected comedy, and total lack of control, all in one segment.

A salary cap is not the answer. Bob has another idea.

Tony Clark's resignation went from “boring labor story” to absolute baseball soap opera when an internal MLBPA investigation revealed an inappropriate relationship with his sister-in-law. That sparks a hilarious, surprisingly intense debate over which version is worse, then the conversation flips fast to the real baseball fear: did this just put a work stoppage on the fast track? Hour 1 breaks down why owners may smell leverage, why the interim MLBPA decision (including the Bruce Meyer factor) matters, and how a salary cap fight could turn into a long, ugly standoff. Plus calls on floors vs harsher luxury tax penalties, keeping homegrown stars, and the lingering paranoia from 1994: miss games… and still change nothing.

A stunning off-field scandal rocks baseball as MLBPA chief Tony Clark resigns amid revelations of an inappropriate relationship, sending shockwaves through the sport at the worst possible time. What does this mean for the balance of power between players and owners? Could this leadership vacuum hand Rob Manfred and the owners the leverage they've been waiting for? The discussion dives into the looming labor battle, the growing push for a salary cap, and why the appointment of a hardline interim leader could push both sides toward a damaging showdown. Would either side actually sacrifice games to win the war? And after the lessons of past strikes, is baseball heading toward another lost season with nothing to show for it? Plus, the guys debate competitive balance, small-market frustrations, deferred mega-contracts, and the uncomfortable question every fan must answer: Would you give up a season to “fix” the sport? If you care about the future of baseball, this is a conversation you can't ignore. ⚾

Recorded: February 9th 2026 | On this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan kick things off talking about the vacation's they are currently on. Will is soaking up the sun in Hawaii while Taylor is up in Canada. The boys dive into into debates about the worst TV endings of all time like The Sopranos and Game Of Thrones. Then Bryce Harper joins the boys on the bus before heads to Florida for the start of MLB Spring Training. The boys immediately dive into Nashville food scene and Bryce is on the side of Taylor, it could be improved. Bryce then gets into what it was like growing up being coined as “The Chosen One.” He gets into his journey in high school and how he decided to leave high school early to enroll in college so that he could be drafted earlier, which is a wild story. The guys get into some of the unwritten rules about baseball and how Bryce ended up fighting a pitcher which is a hilarious story. Bryce talks about what all went into him leaving the Washington Nationals and what lead him to eventually signing with the Philadelphia Phillies. Bryce then brings up how the President of Baseball Operations called him "no longer and eliter player". He gets into how he felt about those comments and how that isn't something that really motivates him. He has also been very vocal as to why baseball should not have a salary cap and he dives into why he feels that way. The boys also ask Bryce how much longer he wants/plans to continue play and the answer may surprise you. If you’re into MLB interviews, Bryce Harper highlights, locker room stories, free agency drama, and unfiltered athlete conversations, you will love this episode. As always, bug hugs and tiny kisses.

Evan and Tiki dig into the archives to fact-check Steve Cohen: Has the Mets owner always been against naming a team captain, or did the locker room issues force his hand? The guys debate the "bastardization" of the captaincy in MLB, leading to a heated argument about John Franco's tenure wearing the "C." Later, they decode Cohen's "good boy" comments regarding a potential MLB salary cap and why Evan is convinced the owner is just playing nice with the league. Plus, a look at the available free-agent quarterbacks for the Jets—is Derek Carr the stabilizer they need?—and Evan prepares to pressure Carlos Mendoza on batting Juan Soto leadoff.

The guys debate about what the real issue is. Is it the biggest teams spending too much, or the smallest teams spending nowhere near enough? Evan and Tiki dig into the payroll gap, why owners complain about exploding salaries, and why fans never see the actual books when teams claim they are losing money. Then the conversation swings to the Yankees and a classic February question: if the rotation ever got fully healthy, who actually gets bumped? Evan explains why the question is flawed (because pitchers never stay healthy), how “follow the money” really works, and why options and roster flexibility will decide more than hot takes. Finally, a caller pitches a twist on the World Baseball Classic: move the biggest games to All-Star week. The guys break down why it sounds awesome, why pitchers make it complicated, and what a real compromise could look like.

Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote were joined by Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic to discuss which Bears could be salary cap casualties and to preview NFL free agency.

February 13, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 93 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers announcing their full coaching staff for the 2026 season on Thursday. We go over the few new names that are included in that list of staff members, and we also have conversations on the overall size of the staff and much more related to that Thursday announcement by the team. Several current and former Steelers have now chimed in on the comments made by Joey Porter Sr. about Mike Tomlin and Ben Roethlisberger during his recent interview on the Cameron Heyward podcast, so we go over the latest related to that topic. Former NFL QB Derek Carr has made it known that he is open to a comeback in 2026 should the right opportunity present itself so Alex and I address what all he had to say recently and whether the quarterback could be a plausible and possible fit with the Steelers. The NFL has reportedly now informed all 32 teams in a memo that it prevailed in its grievance vs. the NFLPA and its “team report cards" after an arbitrator determined that the NFLPA's conduct violated the CBA and ordered it to stop making public any future report cards. Alex and I both have opinions and reactions to that Friday breaking news. A judge ruled on Thursday in favor of Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss still having a year of college eligibility remaining due to a medical hardship a few years ago, so Alex and I react to that news during this show. On the heels of my first 2026 salary cap update for the Steelers being posted on Thursday, Alex and I discuss everything related to that topic. We also discuss potential March salary cap casualties related to the Steelers in addition to other ways the team might decide to create additional space should they deem that necessary during the offseason. Later in this show, Alex and I discuss the probability and plausibility related to offseason contract extensions being signed by CB Joey Porter Jr., K Chris Boswell, OLB Nick Herbig, DT Keeanu Benton, and TE Darnell Washington. We go over a few perceived market values for several of those players. This 129-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
