The hour also digs into encouraging signs around Aaron Glenn, including Demario Davis calling the Jets’ in-season practices some of the hardest he has experienced. Plus, the guys debate how the Mets should handle Howie Rose’s final broadcast if bad weather threatens Sunday’s ceremony, compare Josh Allen’s championship pressure to Aaron Judge’s, and revisit the controversy over whether O.J. Simpson should still be acknowledged in Buffalo Bills history.

Show notes

Evan and Tiki Barber debate whether fans should feel obligated to follow the team’s whiteout request, why the Jets should provide shirts or white ponchos, and whether the entire promotion makes the franchise look cheap. Tiki explains why rainy weather could actually favor the Jets against Green Bay, while the crew also weighs Aaron Donald’s possible return against the Giants, Dan Campbell’s costly decisions, Aaron Judge’s chances of playing this weekend, and the safest NFL knockout-pool picks.

Jets Want a Whiteout Without Providing Shirts Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

The Jets want MetLife Stadium covered in white, but Evan Roberts isn’t buying the plan.

Tiki Barber and callers debate whether fans should simply embrace the request, while the Jets’ plan to distribute ponchos only adds another wrinkle. The conversation also hits Aaron Donald’s possible return against the Giants, Dan Campbell’s questionable late-game decisions, Aaron Glenn’s changed approach with the Jets, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s revamped voting process.

Aaron Judge and Josh Allen Face the Same Pressure Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Aaron Judge and Josh Allen may play different sports, but Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash see the same pressure building around both superstars. Each has reached the top tier of his sport, but the conversation has shifted from individual greatness to one demand: win a championship. That comparison leads back into the fight over sports fandom and desperation. Evan argues that fan bases like the Mets and Jets create a different atmosphere because they have waited so long to win, while Shaun pushes back on the idea that previous championships make fans less desperate. The guys also debate whether belief, rather than desperation, is what creates those unforgettable playoff crowds, and Evan notices one surprising trend among young Knicks fans: Karl-Anthony Towns jerseys everywhere.

Jets Fans Are Now New York’s Most Desperate Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Evan Roberts says Jets fans have become New York’s most desperate and passionate fan base now that Knicks fans have finally celebrated a championship, and that claim sets off a heated argument. Tiki Barber sides with Evan, while Shaun Morash pushes back and argues that winning does not make fans any less desperate for another title. The debate turns into a larger fight over whether championship-starved fans experience sports differently from those who have already tasted success. Plus, Evan revisits his controversial stance that O.J. Simpson’s football accomplishments should still be acknowledged in Bills history without necessarily honoring Simpson himself, and the guys return to how the Mets should handle Howie Rose’s farewell if weather disrupts his final home broadcast.

Mets Face a Nightmare Howie Rose Finale Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

Howie Rose’s final Mets broadcast could be threatened by miserable weather, and Evan Roberts wants the franchise prepared to give the legendary voice a proper sendoff. From moving Sunday’s game into a Saturday doubleheader to bringing Rose back for one final call on Opening Day next season, Evan, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate how the Mets can avoid an anticlimactic farewell. The Jets are also showing early signs that Aaron Glenn’s demanding approach may be working. Demario Davis says the team’s in-season practices are among the hardest he has experienced, fueling optimism about Glenn’s defense and leadership. Plus, the guys marvel at Josh Allen playing through illness and question whether Tyrone Tracy’s flu should keep him off the field Monday.

Mets Broadcast Botches a Frightening Jared Young Moment Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

A frightening collision leaves Jared Young motionless on the field, but the Fox broadcast quickly becomes part of the story. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber question the decision to discuss Young’s future with the Mets while he was still being treated, arguing that the timing of Ken Rosenthal’s report felt completely wrong even after Young gave a thumbs-up. The conversation then takes a sharp turn when a caller rips Evan for praising “O Canada.” Evan doubles down, insisting that liking another country’s anthem does not make him unpatriotic and declaring once again that “America the Beautiful” is simply a better song than “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Giants Fans Need to Stop Fearing Success Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

John Harbaugh and Jaxson Dart have completely changed the outlook for the Giants. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber push back on the idea that fans should temper expectations, arguing that this team should not be afraid of getting good faster than expected. Unlike the 2022 Giants with Brian Daboll and Daniel Jones, they see Harbaugh and Dart as a foundation capable of delivering sustained success and keeping the franchise from falling back into dysfunction. The Jets also enter their matchup with Green Bay believing they have a legitimate path to victory. With the Packers struggling to stop the run, Evan and Tiki want the Jets to lean into their identity, control the clock and produce another punishing, double-digit-minute drive.
