Monday Full Show: Giants Win Ugly, Jets Lose Pretty, Giants Trade for JJ McCarthy Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

The Giants live in taking any win they can, the Jets have moral victory Monday, Joe B joins the show, and the Giants trade for a quarterback during our show.

Hour 1: Giants Win, But Brian Burns Injury Changes Everything Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

The Giants survived an ugly win over the Titans, but Brian Burns’ season-ending ACL injury immediately casts a shadow over their 2-1 start. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why injuries remain the biggest threat to this team, how New York gutted out a game it probably loses in previous years, and why players are already pointing to John Harbaugh as the difference. Jevon Holland continues to dominate the Giants defense, while Jameis Winston and the offense have major issues to fix after another touchdown-free week. Evan and Tiki debate Winston’s future as reports suggest the Giants are aggressively looking to add quarterbacks, plus they examine the red-zone failures, questionable play calling and the growing concern surrounding MetLife Stadium’s turf.

Hour 2: Aaron Glenn’s Jets Keep Wasting Winnable Games Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

The Jets had a signature win within reach in Detroit, only for the defense to collapse when it mattered most. Geno Smith and the offense erased a 14-point deficit, Garrett Wilson delivered a huge touchdown catch, and the Jets tied the game late before allowing the Lions to march right back down the field. Aaron Glenn’s clock management, costly penalties, poor special teams and the inability to contain Jahmyr Gibbs all come under the microscope. There are real reasons for optimism about Geno and the offense, but close losses will only take Glenn so far. Plus, the Mets’ disastrous 74-win season makes everyone revisit their wildly inaccurate preseason predictions, while Cam Schlittler gets the Game 1 start for the Yankees and an embarrassing old photo surfaces just before the postseason.

Hour 3: Giants Take Stunning Swing on J.J. McCarthy Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

The Giants make a stunning move for J.J. McCarthy, sending a fifth-round pick to Minnesota and immediately raising questions about Jameis Winston’s future. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they debate whether McCarthy is simply insurance or a legitimate threat to take over the starting job, and how quickly the former first-round pick could get his opportunity. Joe Benigno weighs in on the Jets after a frustrating loss to Detroit, balancing a brutal defensive performance with major optimism over Geno Smith and the offense. Plus, Shaun and Tiki go around the NFL, react to another wild Sunday, and debate Boston’s pitching strategy against the Yankees as the Red Sox prepare to start rookie Payton Tolle in Game 1.

Giants Add McCarthy and Change Their Quarterback Future Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

J.J. McCarthy is a New York Giant, and suddenly the quarterback picture has another fascinating layer. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash debate the trade, why McCarthy arrives as Jameis Winston’s backup, and whether a fresh start could eventually turn the former first-round pick into something much bigger for the Giants. The conversation also turns to Drake Maye’s alarming stretch with the Patriots, Garrett Wilson’s early edge over Malik Nabers, and LeBron James claiming he once envisioned finishing his career with the Knicks. Plus, Evan blasts the Yankees over their handling of ticket refunds after another weather-impacted weekend.

Cinco Reveals the NFL’s Wildest Week 3 Moments Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Shaun Morash’s Cinco takes center stage with the five most interesting moments from a chaotic NFL Sunday. Shaun is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they revisit the Rams blowing a 16-point halftime lead in Denver, the Commanders beating Seattle with a backup quarterback, Cleveland improving to 2-1, and Baltimore stunning Dallas with a late field goal. The Cowboys’ decision to kick into the end zone instead of attempting a squib kick sparks another clock-management debate, while Tiki explains why the NFL’s new kickoff rules have made that strategy much harder to execute. The segment closes with a quick turn toward Yankees-Red Sox and Boston’s decision to start Payton Tolle in Game 1.

J.J. McCarthy Trade Puts Jameis Winston on Notice Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

J.J. McCarthy is headed to the Giants, and the debate immediately turns to whether the former first-round pick can eventually take Jameis Winston’s job. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber as they clash over the fifth-round pick, McCarthy’s limited NFL opportunity, his injuries, and whether a reunion with John Harbaugh can unlock the quarterback the Giants once considered drafting. Tiki views the deal as a worthwhile gamble on a 23-year-old quarterback with a strong arm and athleticism, while Shaun remains skeptical after McCarthy’s struggles in Minnesota. They also debate whether McCarthy actually needs to play this season and how quickly the Giants could face a legitimate quarterback decision.

Joe Benigno Sees Real Hope Despite Jets Loss Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

The Giants stun everyone by trading for J.J. McCarthy, immediately raising questions about what the former first-round pick could become under John Harbaugh. Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash react to the surprise move, McCarthy’s uneven start in Minnesota, and whether the Giants are taking a worthwhile gamble on his upside. Before the breaking news, Joe Benigno unloads on the Jets’ defense and special teams after a frustrating loss to Detroit, but comes away encouraged by Geno Smith and the offense. Joe praises Garrett Wilson and the Jets’ emerging weapons while warning that Aaron Glenn’s team has to stop settling for moral victories and start turning promising performances into wins.

Cam Schlittler’s Leaked Photo Fuels Yankees Fire Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

Cam Schlittler is getting the ball for Game One, but the strangest Yankees storyline comes from an old photo that surfaced just before the postseason. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash laugh about the image while defending Schlittler’s right to do whatever he wants in his private life. The bigger concern for Red Sox fans is whether releasing the picture only gives Schlittler more motivation. The crew argues that he already pitches with a chip on his shoulder and could take the leak as another slight from Massachusetts. With Schlittler officially starting the Wild Card opener, confidence is sky-high that he will embrace the moment and bring even more intensity against Boston.
