It wouldn’t be spring training if we didn’t have a worrying Giancarlo Stanton injury update, with reports saying the slugger can’t even open a bag of chips. Stugotz has his top five athletes if they were named after teeth. Taylor is frustrated with Jazz Chisholm’s goals for the season since he didn’t even mention wanting to win a World Series.

A star baseball player will not be cut from the team if he is injured. The manager can keep him on the bench as a pinch hitter and get a player from the Minor Leagues to fill his position. If they win the World Series, both players will be champions.

It was a loaded hour of basketball drama and sports philosophy. The Knicks' offense stalled again, Karl-Anthony Towns disappeared, and the finger-pointing is officially underway. Is it on KAT for not demanding the ball, on the coach for not forcing the issue, or on Jalen Brunson for slipping into hero ball instead of running the team? Plus, a major playoff wrinkle: Mitchell Robinson's impact raises a real question about whether the Knicks' starting lineup needs to change when games actually matter. Then the focus shifts to Cleveland, where the addition of James Harden suddenly has people rethinking the Eastern Conference hierarchy. Are the Cavaliers finally a legitimate threat, or is this just another chapter in Harden's long history of regular-season hype and postseason disappointment? Knicks fans weigh in on whether they fear Cleveland at all and how the East really stacks up right now. The conversation takes a surprising turn into a heated debate about legacy and loyalty: what matters more to athletes, winning for their country or winning for their franchise? With Olympic baseball on the horizon and the World Baseball Classic looming, the guys ask how New York would react if a star like Aaron Judge ever said a gold medal meant more than a World Series. The answer might not be pretty. From lineup decisions to contender credibility to the emotional divide between fans and players, this hour covers everything fueling the current sports conversation.

When a two-time Stanley Cup champion says Olympic gold meant more, fans lose their minds. After Team USA hero Matthew Tkachuk revealed the gold medal experience topped his NHL titles, the crew dives into a question that hits especially hard in New York: what would happen if a superstar like Aaron Judge said the same thing about Olympic gold vs a World Series? Is representing your country the ultimate achievement… or does nothing top a championship for the team you bleed for? From Olympic glory to Stanley Cup obsession, World Series hypotheticals, and the emotional gap between athletes and diehard fans, this conversation exposes a brutal truth: players and fans do not value success the same way. Plus, the guys debate whether Yankees fans could ever forgive Judge for prioritizing Team USA, why Mets fans may soon face the same dilemma with Juan Soto and the WBC, and whether sports loyalty is more about identity than trophies. If you've ever lived and died with a playoff run, this one will hit home.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 372 setting the stage for the 2026 Prediction Show while reacting to Team USA's Olympic hockey gold and debating why the United States can compete in hockey but not soccer. Mitch checks in from Mariners spring training in Peoria, describing a genuine World Series vibe around the pitching staff — before admitting he needed a personal "attitude adjustment" on 22-year-old second baseman Cole Young. Mitch welcomes back Danny O'Neil, Jason Puckett, and Dave "Groz" Grosby for the 2026 Prediction Show, teasing last year's misses while crowning Puckett as the new champ. The panel makes rapid-fire forecasts on the Seahawks' 2026 season: record, playoff finish, key contract calls (Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, Josh Jobe, Rashid Shaheed), draft/free-agent priorities, Sam Darnold's contract future and stat lines, plus big-number projections for JSN and other core pieces. The panel shifts to college football, with Danny projecting a 12-win Washington season and a College Football Playoff berth—while also predicting major turnover with Jed Fisch and Demond Williams gone by 2027. They then pivot to baseball, where Puck and Groz forecast an AL West title and a Mariners trip to the World Series, while Danny takes the contrarian path with 88 wins and no playoffs. The panel finishes Mariners predictions with bold calls on Colt Emerson's debut date, Andrés Muñoz's save total, and the club's World Series outlook—while Danny pegs the Yankees as champions. The conversation widens to NBA expansion in Seattle, where opinions split on timeline and ownership possibilities, and then to the 2026 World Cup, with wildly different forecasts for Team USA. The segment wraps with NBA championship picks, MVP projections, and LeBron James' uncertain future as the Prediction Show heads toward its finale. The panel turns to March Madness, NFL draft projections, and bold NFL quarterback predictions before branching into golf, tennis, the World Baseball Classic, and the Kraken's playoff outlook. Danny calls for Houston to win the NCAA title, Puck backs Arizona, and Groz picks UConn—while wild swings follow on Scheffler majors, Rory's chances, and LeBron's future. The segment culminates with dramatic wild-card predictions, including a potential MLB lockout, a Jamal Crawford-led Sonics return, and a blockbuster Seahawks in-season trade.   GUESTS   Dave Grosby | Seattle sports radio personality Jason Puckett | Seattle sports radio host and founder of The Daily Puck Drop Danny O'Neil | Veteran Seattle sports columnist and longtime Seahawks analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Prediction Show Kickoff — Hockey Gold, Mariners Optimism, and a Cole Young Attitude Adjustment 22:22 | 2026 Prediction Show: Seahawks Repeat Forecasts, Roster Calls, and League-Wide Bold Picks 49:57 | 2026 Prediction Show: College Football and Mariners 2026 Predictions – Playoff Calls, Coaching Hot Seats, and a World Series Push 59:47 | 2026 Prediction Show: Mariners Prospect Timelines, World Cup Takes, NBA Futures, and Sonics Expansion Speculation 1:14:14 | 2026 Prediction Show: March Madness Picks, NFL Draft Forecasts, Golf Majors, Kraken Playoff Hopes, and Wild Card Bombshells 1:21:30 | Other Stuff Segment: USA wins men's and women's Olympic hockey gold, JSN comments on becoming highest-paid WR and looming Seahawks extensions, Zach Charbonnet ACL surgery delay raises questions, Stephen A.

Evan and Tiki keep digging into the Team USA gold medal win and hit the fan question that drives everyone nuts: does an Olympic championship hit the same as a title with your real team, or is it a “cheap championship” you move on from in an hour? The debate gets spicy fast when the guys bring up Aaron Judge, the Yankees, and the brutal reality of New York fandom. If Judge becomes an Olympic hero but still never wins a World Series, would Yankee fans shrug and say “cool, now bring me the ring”? Meanwhile, Devils fans might treat Jack Hughes like a legend forever, even if New Jersey never raises the Cup. Then it turns into a full-on loyalty war: can Rangers fans ever truly love a Devils player, even if he just delivered gold for the USA? Evan says no. Tiki says you can hate the sweater and still respect the player. Shaun argues fans are trained to boo rivals, not frame their photos.

Indianapolis 500 Veteran Hucul Dies at 79   INDIANAPOLIS (Friday, Feb. 20, 2026) – Canadian driver Cliff Hucul, a veteran of three Indianapolis 500 starts in the late 1970s, died Feb. 17 on his farm in his native Prince George, British Columbia. He was 79. Hucul made three consecutive starts in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” from 1977-79. His best finish came as a rookie in 1977, 22nd in the No. 29 Team Canada McLaren/Offenhauser that Hucul bought after Johnny Rutherford drove it to victory in the 1976 “500.” Hucul completed 72 laps before being sidelined by gearbox problems. He qualified on Bump Day for that race despite touching the wall in practice the previous day and suffering two engine failures during the Month of May, a significant pitfall for his low-budget team. Hucul's best qualifying spot was 18th in 1979, his final “500” start. The small-town driver from northern British Columbia learned his craft by racing stock cars and modified sprint cars at local tracks. He then began racing modifieds and supermodifieds in the Pacific Northwest against drivers that included eventual Indianapolis 500 winner and INDYCAR SERIES champion Tom Sneva and his brother Jerry Sneva. Hucul made 24 total USAC and CART starts between 1977-81, with eight top-10 finishes. Hucul's best finish in the standings was 11th in 1979, when he started the season by placing fifth at Ontario Motor Speedway and a career-best fourth at Texas World Speedway. In 1996, Hucul became a paraplegic after an automobile accident when crossing black ice on a highway in British Columbia. Despite being confined to a wheelchair, Hucul remained active, managing his farm and mentoring many drivers in the area. He was inducted into the Prince George Sports Hall of Fame for his lifetime contributions to auto racing. Hucul is survived by his son, Kelly, and daughter-in-law, Sylvie; daughter, Michele, and many grandchildren. 2026 BAHRAIN TESTING - WEEK 1, DAY 3 MAX VERSTAPPEN “Looking at the test overall, the Team got in a good number of laps on the first day so we were happy with that. We completed a lot of things that we wanted to test with the new Power Unit and the car in general. Today it was a continuation of that plus also trying to explore a little bit more with the car; you go through so many test items that it continues to change and evolve with everything that you are testing. In general, it is all so new that we are still learning a lot, but the car was good. We also have new tyres, so we spent some time looking at different sets and understanding what we need to improve and be better at. With the power unit, looking at the laps we got on the board, the start that we have had is good. That's exactly what we wanted to do and it was not a given. Whether it will be enough to win races, we don't know, we will just focus on ourselves and try to do the best we can, but there is still massive room for improvement. Finally, with the car, we learnt a lot about what worked and what didn't. Our runs also gave us even more ideas for the afternoon with Isack and then for next week, where we can continue to try new things and different set ups.” ISACK HADJAR “The first week here in Bahrain has gone well. Of course, I had to wait a little before getting in the car after Barcelona, but once I did, we were able to put it to the test and really work through what we need ahead of next week and Melbourne. There are so many things to look at, but we're staying on track with our programme so far. True performance and pace are always hard to judge in pre-season, but we can be happy with the reliability we've had from the power unit this week. There are still things to work on in terms of balance and tyre management, but that's completely normal for this time of year. We're working through it together as a Team to get where we want to be for Australia. I've known the people here for a while now, but it's great to be working with them again in an environment like this." ASTON MARTIN The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team concluded its testing programme at the Bahrain International Circuit today, with Lance Stroll returning to the cockpit of the AMR26 for the final time before the Australian Grand Prix. Lance did not get on track until late in the morning session due to a battery-related issue that had impacted Fernando's running yesterday. Honda carried out simulations on the test bench at HRC Sakura before the car returned to the track. Due to a shortage of power unit parts, the run plan was very limited and consisted only of short stints. Lance Stroll “It's been a challenging couple of weeks here in Bahrain, and today's limited running wasn't the way we wanted to finish the second test. It's clear the car isn't where we want it to be performance-wise, and we know there's a lot of work ahead in the coming weeks and months. There's a long season ahead, and we'll keep pushing flat out to unlock more performance. I want to say a big thank you to everyone trackside and back at the AMRTC for the work that's gone in so far. It's not where we want to be right now, but I know how determined this team is. We'll stick together, rise to the challenge and keep working until we deliver the performance we are looking for.” WILLIAMS F1 2026 Bahrain pre-season testing – Day 3 James Vowles, Team Principal: Another solid day of running and mileage. It's great to see that across the last six days of testing, we've been predominantly tyre and time limited, and able to complete the full programme that we wanted. That's just a testament to the hard work of the teams, both here and in Grove, making sure that we made up for lost time. 
 No one truly knows where all the performance lies. That's what Melbourne is all about, so I can't wait to go there, to gain a further understanding of where we are. What I know for sure, though, is we have work to do. There's no doubt about it. We've put ourselves on the back foot. But my assurance to everyone is that we have an aggressive programme lining up in front of us in order to make sure that we extract as much performance in this car as possible over the forthcoming months. Carlos Sainz: The past six days of testing in Bahrain has been one of the most interesting and challenging tests that I've been part of, given the new regulations and number of things we had to learn. The progress from day one has been significant, although there are still going to be things to understand and solve at the start of the season. We go into the first half of the year with lower expectations than 2025 knowing that we'll be starting slightly on the back foot. However, I'm really looking forward to getting started and focusing on improving the cars through the year to become more competitive. Bring on Melbourne! Alex Albon: It's been a relatively smooth test here in Bahrain. We got some good mileage under our belts and tested everything we wanted to get out of the car, so I'm feeling more ready for Melbourne. There's still a lot we need to understand and plenty of performance left on the table that we need to extract, but I'm glad the tests went to plan. It's now all about maximising the next few days to prepare for the first race of the year! THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW WITH MIKI MONRAS... Miki Monrás on battling Bottas and Ricciardo in the late 2000s and the rising cost of junior racing In the late 2000s, Miki Monrás was one of Spain's brightest prospects on the junior single-seater ladder, trading blows with the likes of Daniel Ricciardo, Valtteri Bottas and António Félix da Costa in Formula Renault and GP3. But while his rivals pushed on towards F1 or careers in GTs, the Spaniard's single-seater journey came to an abrupt halt in 2011. Feeder Series caught up with Monrás to reflect on the times he rubbed shoulders with greatness, the challenges of racing in the post–financial crisis era, and life beyond motorsport. By Anabelle Bremner Back in the noughties, the path from karting to Formula 1 looked nothing like it does today. There was no standardised Formula 4, no carefully managed ladder – just a patchwork of championships that rewarded those brave enough, and wealthy enough, to dive straight in. Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 was as deep as it got: 40-car grids stacked with future stars, the proving ground where Pierre Gasly, Nyck de Vries and Lando Norris would come to cut their teeth. But before all of them, it was Monrás in the thick of it. He made his single-seater debut in late 2007, the result of years spent chasing speed. His first taste of racing, in fact, came on two wheels – on a motocross bike, inspired by his father, who had raced professionally in Spain and Europe. At the age of eight, Monrás joined a motocross camp, and it wasn't long before karting came calling. “After the first race, I really enjoyed it,” he recalls. “I remember it was Christmastime and I asked for a motocross scooter and for a go-kart. So I finally got the go-kart, and that's the way I started. Then I started racing in Catalonia, and I just moved through Spain and Europe and all the world championships until formula.” Single-seater racing, however, would prove a unique beast. Shortly before turning 16, Monrás moved straight from karting into Formula Renault 2.0, in which the competition was fierce. “Normally at that age you'd go before to a category not straight to 2.0,” he said. “My first year I was racing with Bottas, I was racing with Ricciardo, I was racing with [Andrea] Caldarelli – really good drivers.… I was racing against people that were already racing for two years in single-seaters. That was a big difference.”His first Eurocup campaign, in 2008, proved a challenging one. He was scoreless for his first five rounds with the Hitech Junior Team (no relation to the current Hitech) before a switch to SG Formula brought him six points in the final two rounds. Valtteri Bottas, then of Motopark Academy, went on to claim that year's title after a close fight involving Ricciardo, Caldarelli and Roberto Merhi. The next year brought Monrás a decidedly better season and three podiums with SG Formula, owned by Mercedes Junior Team advisor Stéphane Guerin. He wound up fifth overall in a season dominated by a fierce three-way fight between Félix da Costa, Jean-Éric Vergne and Albert Costa – the last of whom ultimately took the title. Racing against so much talent at such a young age left Monrás with plenty of perspective on what might have been. “Ricciardo was my teammate. Jean-Éric Vergne was my teammate. I raced with Da Costa, Bottas, with Magnussen, so many people that have been racing each other and winning races,” he said. “[I] think if I changed something at that point, maybe I would be in Formula 1, but who knows. Maybe yes, maybe no. “But at that time, it was really difficult times because it was 2010, '11, '12, where there was also a big crisis in the world, especially in Europe. It was really difficult for Spanish drivers to get the sponsors and the money to race.” The financial squeeze triggered by the 2008 global financial crisis left Monrás and many of his peers in a precarious position. Several teams, such as SG Formula, shut their doors in the wake of the crisis amidst an already shifting landscape in junior racing. “It's been changing a lot from that time until now. When I was racing Eurocup 2.0, one time we were like 48 drivers, I remember. 2008 at Spa. It was a massive level and so many drivers wanted to go in,” he said. “Eurocup was really high level, I would say maybe [comparable] to Formula 4 about the car and the lap times. “Motorsport has changed a lot in the last few years. It's more expensive. At that time, Eurocup was also expensive, but I think Formula 4 is around €700,000 more or less, maybe more now. It's quite expensive. Back then, I think Eurocup was around €300,000 or €250,000, so there was a massive difference. A lot more people could race at that time.” After two and a half years competing in various Formula Renault series, Monrás stepped up to GP3 in 2010. The inaugural season, won by eventual F1 driver Esteban Gutiérrez, came with another steep learning curve. Monrás managed two podiums and a 10th-place finish in the standings, but the step up exposed the limits of what talent alone could achieve in a field packed with hungry, well-backed drivers. “When I raced GP3, that was the first year of the championship, so it was a new championship for all of the teams. I also raced with Arden, which was a new team in the category, so it made it a bit difficult,” he said. “During testing, I remember I was flying in GP3, and then suddenly in some races there was such a huge difference with some other cars and drivers. It was difficult sometimes. … I think this is always present in motorsport in all categories. You will find some kind of differences within cars and teams. It just will always be there.” Challenging as it was, that season had its highs for Monrás. A recovery drive in Spa's characteristic rain remains a fond memory for the Spaniard. “I had a really bad qualifying because there were some yellow flags,” he explained. “Because there were 30 cars, it was easy to find yellow flags if you're waiting for the last minutes in qualifying. I finished [ninth in] race one, and in race two it started raining really heavily after five laps. I went from P10 to P3, nearly fighting for the win in the last lap against Rossi and Tambay. That was a really good race.” After a season in GP3, Monrás moved up a rung on the ladder to Formula Two. At the time, the feeder series landscape was fragmented. GP2 and Formula Renault 3.5 offered established paths to Formula 1, while the MotorSport Vision's FIA Formula Two Championship, which first ran in 2009, aimed to do the same with a more affordable package. “Formula Two at that point was very competitive, economically speaking,” Monrás said. “It was a lot cheaper to race in Formula Two than race in GP2 at that moment or 3.5 because it was like all one team. All the cars were one team with different engineers, and that made it low cost for the time. “A lot of drivers went to it because of that. They were racing in the best tracks, same as World Series and similar to GP2, and the car was competitive. Maybe not as competitive as GP2 or 3.5 because it was a bit slower, but it was really competitive and really fast, on the straight especially.”  “In that time, what they were saying was it was very equal. You had one engineer for three cars, you were sharing data with these three cars, and it was all under the same team. You can always find differences in motorsport. Maybe not a difference to make one car win and one car P15, but you can still always find two-tenths difference in similar cars, and two tenths, sometimes it's a lot of time,” he said. “The cars were on the same team, but each engineer was doing the set-up for his driver. The set-up I was using and maybe the set-up Bortolotti was using, he had won the championship maybe from our different set-ups. Every race, you changed engineers. Every weekend, you were rotating engineers so at the end of the season, everybody worked with everyone.” By 2012, the funding had dried up. Monrás was left sponsorless and unable to compete in Formula Two. He sampled GT racing in the Blancpain Endurance Series and tested with both Audi Sport and Atech GP, but no program materialised. From there, Monrás transitioned into driver coaching and team management – mostly with the AV Formula team owned by his manager, Adrian Vallés – and eventually “moved on” from motorsport around 2017. “I was working also with McLaren Automotive, but it was not motorsport. It was automotive, developing road cars, really competitive cars. After that I decided to stop because I wanted to follow a new career professionally, and I moved onto real estate which I have always been [involved with] because of my family, so that's why I decided to move over,” he said. “I now work in a real estate company which I own with some partners, and that's my day-to-day nowadays.” After years climbing the ladder in lockstep with some of the sport's future stars, Monrás has found a new rhythm – one that's decidedly less fast, but no less his own. Yet his career remains a reminder of the talent that defined an era: a Spaniard who went wheel to wheel with the likes of Ricciardo, Bottas, and Vergne, racing in some of the deepest junior grids of the 2000s and 2010s. In the story of that generation, Monrás may no longer be on track, but he's never far from the memory of it all.

Dr. Beckett tributes two recently deceased Pittsburgh Pirates favorites from his personal botyhood fandom: relief ace Roy (ElRoy) Face and Hall of Fame second baseman Bill Mazeroski. He reflects on the 1960 Pirates as his favorite team and explains why both players deserve more hobby respect. For Face, he highlights his signature forkball, how relievers of that era entered tie games and jams, his remarkable 1959 run (including winning 18 of 19), his military service, and his role in the 1960 World Series with three saves. Beckett also discusses Face's key and scarce cards, including his 1953 Topps high-number rookie, the rarely seen 1952 Fort Worth Cats card, and the very tough 1960 ElRoy Face Motel card, and comments on Face's late induction into the Pirates Hall of Fame in 2023 and his unlikely Hall of Fame chances. For Mazeroski, he recounts where he was when he heard Mazeroski's Game 7 walk-off home run on the radio, emphasizes Mazeroski's elite defense and double-play prowess, cites Bill James's praise of his defensive impact, and notes his career home run total and playing context at Forbes Field. He closes with additional audio from Hobby Hotline discussing Mazeroski's passing, his reputation with fans and signings, comparisons within the 1960 World Series, and the argument for valuing defense and signature career moments.   00:23 Tributes: 1960 Pirates & Two Legends 03:32 Roy Face Cards (RC, Minor League, Motel Card) 04:41 Roy Face Legacy: Hall of Fame Case 05:32 My Maz Memory: Hearing the Walk-Off on the Radio 08:30 Mazeroski Key Cards + Closing Thoughts 12:46 Hall of Fame Debate: Moment vs Career    

Jack Hughes' goal was one of the best moments in American sports history, but nothing was like Bill Mazeroski hitting a walk-off home run in Game 7 of the World Series. Bob knew Maz pretty well and remembers moments with him. Maz helped Neil Walker learn second base. We listen to Maz's Hall of Fame speech at Cooperstown. 

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Jack Hughes' goal was one of the best moments in American sports history, but nothing was like Bill Mazeroski hitting a walk-off home run in Game 7 of the World Series. We listen to Maz's Hall of Fame speech at Cooperstown. Pirates Hall of Famer Steve Blass joins to share memories of Maz, his good friend and teammate in the 60s and 70s.

In memory of former Pirates' 2B Bill Mazeroski who passed away over the weekend, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson appreciate his walk-off home run in the 1960 World Series alongside some other moments in sports history that belong to Pittsburgh.

Bubba Chandler did not have a good day at the office today against the Yankees. He had four walks in the first inning. It still seems like his control issues are there. Was Bill Mazeroski's home run in the 1960 World Series the most important moment in Pittsburgh Sports History?

The Cleveland Indians' Big Four rotation served them well in 1954, delivering 111 wins and a ticket to the World Series. Yet their power is fading, and many worry that the AL pennant in the previous year was a high-water mark. They would rack up eight winning seasons in the decade, but only a sole defeat in the Fall Classic to show for it.In tonight's game the welcome the young and eager Chicago White Sox. Marty Marion's “Go-go” philosophy of speed and base-running would be key. 1955 showed where the gaps were, and some rapid trades (bringing in Larry Doby and clearing the shortstop position for future Hall of Famer Luis Aparicio) would take them all the way in 1959.All of that lies in the future. Tonight is a distillation of the Indians' power and the Go-Go White Sox. reflected in the pitching match-up. Chicago's Billy Pierce is in the middle of a historic season where he will finish with an ERA of 1.97.On the other side of the scorecard is Early Wynn, a future 300-game winner whose scowling, intimidating presence on the mound defined the era's aggressive pitching ethos . Wynn would later win the Cy Young after joining the White Sox, but for now, he stands in the way of the White Sox' first legitimate pennant run in 35 years .Ewan Spence and the Classic Baseball Radio team bring you this recreated radio broadcast from July 1, 1955.

You might have assumed that Sparky Anderson was born at 60 years old and stayed that way for the rest of his life. But Mike and Bill were surprised to find that was not the case as they celebrated his decision, 31 years ago this week, not to manage the replacement players Tigers owners had hired during the 1994/1995 work stoppage. Sparky had a remarkable run over 26 years and, as the first person to win a World Series for a team in each league, became lauded as a genius and, eventually, a Hall of Famer. Plus, happy birthday to Dom DiMaggio and George Earnshaw! And farewell to Jim Willis, Dave Giusti, and Andy Kosco.

On today's show, the WIP Afternoon Show tackle the end of the A.J. Brown saga in Philadelphia after his comments with Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski on the Dudes on Dudes podcast. They also reevaluate the Philadelphia Phillies's “World Series or bust” expectations, react to Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson returning to the Philadelphia Eagles, discuss the Philadelphia 76ers' star player minutes management, and much more.

In Hour 1, the WIP Afternoon Show is down a man with Spike out, so Ike and Jack take the reins — sharing their excitement for the Philadelphia Phillies season even without the “World Series or bust” pressure, and breaking down the five biggest storylines to watch as Spring Training gets underway.

In Hour 2, the WIP Afternoon Show discuss the expectations for the Philadelphia Phillies this season and break down four potential trade scenarios for A.J. Brown.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I hold a consultation at VaynerMedia focusing purely on tactical business talk. I dive deep into why broad, single-message marketing fails, and I offer my solution: hyper-targeting with thousands of different content pieces across text, audio, and video. I give B2B companies a roadmap for where the greatest sales opportunity lies (HR dynamics), and I explain why Facebook and Instagram ads are still drastically underpriced, regardless of your industry. I also advise entrepreneurs on how to transition their mentality from founder to executive, stressing the importance of protecting company culture by firing toxic "OGs" and committing to a private label brand. You'll learn:Why I think businesses should be running 4,000 to 8,000 pieces of content, not 12.My specific examples of using psychographics (like a 1985 World Series reference) to drive B2B conversions.Why I believe success is predicated on firing those who don't like change.How to combat manufacturers going direct-to-consumer by "quadrupling down on brand."My strategy for eliminating customer risk when selling unowned inventory (like $500k concrete pumps)Why the ultimate failure for scaling businesses is trying to force employees to be on camera

With the NBA back, the conversation turns into a “what counts as success?” checklist for every team in town, and the answers get blunt fast. For the Knicks, it's simple: anything short of the NBA Finals is a massive disappointment, and the window is not staying open forever. For the Yankees, the standard is even harsher: win the World Series, period, no matter who's on the other side. The Mets are trickier, with the floor rising from “make the playoffs” to “get to the Division Series,” because the quick exit versions of October do not count as progress anymore. Then the focus shifts to football, and the Giants get put under the microscope. With the offseason still unfolding, the expectations are more complicated, but the baseline is clear: competence, a winning season, and being in the mix late. The division suddenly feels more open than it did a year ago, which raises the pressure even more. And looming in the background is the Jets wild card, because one aggressive move at quarterback could instantly change the entire expectation game. A full-state-of-the-union debate on New York sports standards, pressure points, and what “successful” really means for 2026.

The show continues the “success or bust” debate for New York teams, but it quickly turns into a Mets fan therapy session when the topic shifts to Steve Phillips. After Phillips questions the Mets offseason and pushes back on the idea that they are “most improved,” fans come after him personally and the hosts are fed up with it. If you want to disagree with his take, fine. But trashing him like he has no credibility at all? That's where the hypocrisy gets called out. From there, the Mets conversation gets real practical. A caller asks the big question: what's the actual plan with Mark Vientos, Brett Baty, and Ronny Mauricio now that the roster has gotten crowded? The discussion dives into how the at-bats will get distributed, who might be DH-heavy early, how spring injuries can change roles, and why the Mets are clearly prioritizing immediate competitiveness instead of running an all-prospect experiment. Another caller frames the Mets problem differently: it's not just “make the playoffs,” it's who you keep running into once you get there, especially with the Dodgers looming as the sport's current monster. The response is simple: first you have to become a consistent playoff team, then you can worry about repeatedly colliding with the same buzzsaw. The segment closes with a Jets fan admitting he does not even know what to root for anymore, and a Yankees fan laying out the urgency. Between an aging core, a shrinking window, and looming labor uncertainty, 2026 starts to feel like the year where “World Series or bust” stops sounding dramatic and starts sounding logical.

Aaron Judge's age-34 season raises urgency for the Yankees, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. sets a bold 50/50 goal that could reshape his future. Callers debate whether it's truly World Series or bust in the Bronx, and Mets fans confront a tough truth about the Steve Cohen era: big spending has not yet delivered consistent results.
