Steve Cohen is standing firmly behind David Stearns. The Mets owner reiterates his commitment to the president of baseball operations, praises his intelligence and adaptability, and says he was pleased with the club's trade deadline and the young talent added to the organization. But the support comes with pressure. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Cohen's comments and question whether Stearns can improve after risky offseason decisions failed to deliver. Cohen also weighs in on the turmoil surrounding the Dodgers, while the conversation turns to Shohei Ohtani's unusual opt-out clause and why he still seems unlikely to leave Los Angeles.

Pete Alonso's return puts the Mets' biggest offseason decision back under the microscope. Evan Roberts says David Stearns should show some humility and literally wear an “L” when Alonso comes back to Citi Field, while Evan and Tiki Barber wonder why Steve Cohen wasn't directly asked whether letting Alonso go was a mistake. Evan also owns his bad Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker take after dismissing Bellinger, while Tiki explains why Bellinger's defense and ability to handle New York matter so much. Plus, Tiki revisits the Giants' infamous 2005 loss in Seattle, and a historic 22-0 blowout sparks a debate over whether fans should ever leave a game early.

The Dodgers are under the microscope as Mark Walter faces a federal criminal investigation, raising fresh questions about the franchise's financial power and the advantages that have allowed Los Angeles to keep spending aggressively. The conversation turns to whether anything could actually threaten the Dodgers, why their biggest free-agent misses barely slow them down, and the fantasy scenario rival fans would love to see if ownership were ever forced to sell. Steve Cohen also addresses the Mets' trade deadline and makes it clear he remains committed to David Stearns despite questionable offseason decisions. Plus, the Yankees' biggest American League threats are ranked, with Boston, Tampa Bay and one very familiar enemy looming over October. The Jets get a grim Geno Smith prediction, and Tiki Barber gets an unexpected reminder of just how heavily he was used during his playing career.

The Yankees keep winning, but almost nothing about it feels comfortable. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down encouraging injury news on Max Fried, the slow road back for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, Jazz Chisholm's growing struggles, and whether this battered Yankees roster can finally get healthy enough to become dangerous in October. The Mets bring a different kind of frustration after Fernando Tatis Jr. robbed Francisco Lindor, sparking a wild debate over whether fans in the front row have an obligation to help their team. Steve Cohen's comments on the Mets' disappointing season ignite another examination of David Stearns, the decision to move on from Pete Alonso and Cohen's admission that the organization may have taken too much risk. Evan and Tiki also debate the dangers of massive free-agent contracts, Geno Smith's need for preseason reps and Evan's grim Jets prediction, plus George Lombard Jr., the Nets' painful history, NYCFC fandom, Citi Field's mysterious concession lines and a prediction of a brutal baseball work stoppage.

Less than three months remain before the crucial midterms will decide whether Democrats or Republicans will control the Senate. As the parties campaign hard across a range of issues, Americans can perhaps breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to one key domestic concern: crime. A new report shows a notable drop across large cities in the first half of this year, with homicides reaching their lowest level since at least 1900. The report notes this trend isn't evidence of the success or failure of any particular policy, and says it's likely the result of a range of factors. Steve Cohen is a Democratic congressman who sits on both the Judiciary and Intelligence House Committees. He joins the show to break it all down.  Also on today's show: Brad Setser, Fmr. Sr. Adviser to U.S. Trade Representative / Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations; Hannah Critchfield. Reporter, The Wall Street Journal    Learn more about your ad choices.

Gio reacts to Steve Cohen guaranteeing David Stearns' return despite epic failure, sparking discussion on the Mets and whether a miserable-looking Francisco Lindor could be traded. Gordon Damer returns for his final update on the Dodgers' recent struggles and another Yankees loss despite a strong start from Cam Schlittler. Fan complaints about a lack of urinal troughs at the new Bills stadium lead to urinal divider talk and the Moment of the Day. Finally, the show closes with an escaped pet python in Freehold, NJ, Gio's childhood snake story, and Boomer's nighttime bathroom rules for his football roommates.

Boomer and Gio return to tackle Boomer battling Rhinovirus, WFAN's "great flood," Justin Herbert's "young love" moment, and Frank Reich's praise for Geno Smith, alongside updates on Trent Grisham, Chris Sale, Bo Bichette, Adam Vinatieri, and Don Nelson. The show moves into a golf course dilemma, caller Dan in Carteret, Sophie Cunningham's hard foul, league transgender topics, and obstructed view seats at the new Bills stadium. Hour three breaks down Giants camp predictions, Jets expectations, a Mike Tomlin sighting, Pete Alonso's two homers, and wives playing golf. Finally, the guys wrap up with Steve Cohen backing David Stearns, Francisco Lindor trade speculation, Dodgers struggles, Bills stadium urinal complaints, and an escaped pet python in New Jersey.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle laugh at a caller's notion that the Mets have a brighter future than the Yankees -- and Craig says he's going to learn a big Geno Smith lesson at Jets camp.

We kick off with a classic clip of arguing news anchors, Gio's Tunnel to Towers event, Boomer's bizarre sunscreen technique, and the guys' go-to karaoke picks. Jerry's update brings Spike Eskin's reaction to LeBron joining the Sixers, sound from the Yankees losing to the Phillies, and Marcus Semien homering to beat the Dodgers. Finally, Carlos Beltran sends a message to Steve Cohen from his Hall of Fame induction, before we question why Tony Romo's OWI and Kyle Shanahan's car crash weren't reported immediately.

Jerry's back with more reaction about LeBron James from the "vegan hipster" himself - Spike Eskin. Sounds of the Yanks losing to Philly while Marcus Semien put the nail in the Dodgers' coffin for a Mets win. Also, Carlos Beltran all but begged Steve Cohen to make him the next Mets manager.

Reports that San Diego could trade elite closer Mason Miller have opened a massive deadline scenario in New York. Evan Roberts pitches an ambitious blockbuster proposal sending Carlos Rodón, Trent Grisham, and pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange to the Padres to swallow Manny Machado's nightmare contract and secure Miller. Evan and Tiki Barber debate whether Hal Steinbrenner would ever approve taking on that much long-term debt under luxury tax uncertainty, or if Steve Cohen and the Mets make far more sense to swoop in and absorb salary for a top-tier arm.

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle dive into the Mets' struggling fan experience and ask whether Steve Cohen needs to do more to bring fans back to Citi Field. With the Mets struggling on the field, Craig argues the organization should lower ticket prices, parking costs, and concessions to show fans they understand their frustration. Would cheaper games, affordable food, and family-friendly pricing help get fans back in the stands?

David Stearns winning a World Series with the Mets before Brian Cashman captures another with the Yankees sounds outrageous, but Shaun Morash lays out why it could happen. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, who immediately pushes back on the prediction and questions whether Stearns will spend aggressively enough or find the right players. Shaun points to Cashman's uncertain timeline, Aaron Judge's closing championship window and Steve Cohen's financial power as reasons the balance of New York baseball could shift.

Plus, they debate soccer's stoppage-time drama, react to LeBron James avoiding questions about his future, review Netflix's The Hawk and confront whether Giancarlo Stanton's postseason heroics can outweigh years of unavailability if the Yankees never win a championship.

The guys also revisit their old soccer opinions, debate the pressure facing host nations and examine the growing frustration surrounding the Mets. They break down the failed Freddy Peralta trade and explain why Steve Cohen may keep David Stearns despite a disastrous season.

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.

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.

As the losing streak builds and the pressure rises, they debate whether calling for a managerial change is fair or just fan panic. The conversation also turns to Steve Cohen's comments on accountability, David Stearns' future with the Mets, and a wide ranging mix of New York sports talk. From Aaron Hernandez name debates to Nets trade questions and Jaylen Brown's massive contract, the episode captures a chaotic day of calls, criticism, and classic sports radio arguments.

Shaun is in for Tiki as Evan Roberts takes the temperature of New York baseball, with the Yankees in a seven game skid and fans debating whether Aaron Boone's clock is getting dangerously close to midnight. The hour captures the panic, frustration, and fair questions around Boone, Brian Cashman, Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice, and a bullpen that keeps putting the Yankees in trouble. The Mets conversation is just as heated after Steve Cohen speaks openly about the state of the franchise, David Stearns' future, and the past tension between Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. From Yankees urgency to Mets uncertainty, Evan and Shaun dig into a messy moment for both teams and the pressure building across the city.
