Malik Nabers Nearly Joined Garrett Wilson on Jets Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether New York should have taken a chance on Jaxson Dart, Tyler Shough or Shedeur Sanders instead of entering another season without a true franchise quarterback. They also question whether Cleveland has given Sanders a fair opportunity and revisit the Jets’ long history of disastrous first-round picks. The conversation then shifts to Garrett Wilson versus Malik Nabers after reports that the Jets once tried to trade up with the Giants to pair Nabers with Wilson. Plus, the Yankees’ George Lombard Jr. sparks a debate over whether a struggling young player should sit or be allowed to play through mistakes.

Jets Must Chase Joe Burrow at All Costs Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Joe Burrow becomes the ultimate Jets quarterback fantasy as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether New York should abandon the draft gamble and go all-in on a proven franchise star if Cincinnati ever makes him available. The Aaron Rodgers pursuit is defended as the right idea despite the disastrous result, while the Jets’ endless search for a long-term quarterback remains the franchise’s biggest problem. The conversation also turns to Darren Mougey passing on Jaxson Dart and Tyler Shough, whether the Jets should have traded up in the second round, and why drafting a young quarterback immediately starts the clock on a new regime. Plus, the Mets’ painful Pete Crow-Armstrong trade resurfaces as another brutal New York what-if.

Jets Must Protect Geno Smith With Jimmy Garoppolo Aug 31, 2026

Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate the need for a proven backup quarterback, with Jimmy Garoppolo emerging as Tiki’s clear choice over the inexperienced Cade Klubnik. They explain why even a healthy starter can go down at any moment and why the Jets need someone capable of immediately running the offense. The conversation also turns to the massive expectations surrounding the Rams and whether their Super Bowl hype has gone too far. Then the Jets’ long-term quarterback future takes center stage, including whether a huge Geno season could change their plans and the possibility of pursuing Joe Burrow if he ever becomes available.

Odell Beckham Jr. Forces His Way Onto Giants Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Odell Beckham Jr. is back on the Giants roster, and Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash agree he earned his spot after a strong enough finish to camp. But the excitement comes with questions about what Odell has left, Malik Nabers’ health and how the Giants’ receiving hierarchy could shake out. The Jets’ final cuts leave Evan wondering what the point of preseason even was after several players who appeared to perform well failed to make the team. Then the conversation turns heated over Red Sox radio blasting Jazz Chisholm for stealing bases during a Yankees rout. Evan rejects the unwritten-rule outrage, arguing Boston waved the white flag and the Yankees had every right to keep playing.

Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate whether the Yankees have effectively locked up the top wild-card spot, why Tampa Bay’s bizarre late-game wins feel dangerous, and whether the AL East race is truly over. They also revisit Aaron Boone’s controversial lineup choices against Boston, David Cone seemingly predicting Elliott Ramos’ three-run homer moments before it happened, and the bigger problem with MLB replay. The hour closes with a debate over position players pitching in blowouts and whether baseball is eventually headed toward a mercy rule.
