BT & Sal unleash a post-game inferno, tearing apart the Jets' 'toxic' culture and latest embarrassing loss! The hosts put Head Coach Aaron Glenn on a sizzling hot seat, branding his clock-management as 'gutless' and 'clueless,' while slamming QB Justin Fields' 'stagnant' play that demands a switch to Tyrod Taylor. The brutal conversation pivots to the franchise's deeper, chronic failure—driven by inept ownership—before shifting focus to Saquon Barkley's Super Bowl-winning escape and Pete Alonso's massive $7-year contract demand with the Mets.
BT & Sal unleash a fiery post-game dissection of the Jets' latest loss, a "tough watch" in London that exposed the franchise's all-time low. The scathing critique centers on Head Coach Aaron Glenn's "gutless" decisions, particularly the baffling clock-management disaster before halftime and his late-game conservatism, which they argue signal he's "absolutely overwhelmed" and "clueless." The hosts fiercely debate his job security just six weeks in, questioning if he's the right coach to mentor a potential top-drafted quarterback. Adding to the turmoil is the stagnant, poor performance of quarterback Justin Fields, whose lack of anticipation and fear to throw the ball makes a switch to backup Tyrod Taylor seem appealing, if only for a spark. The segment concludes with the realization that the team's chronic problems run deeper than any single coach—it's "The Jets" culture of failure, driven by inept ownership, that may just chew up and spit out another regime.
BT and Sal dive headfirst into the Jets' crisis, grappling with the team's abysmal start and the endless cycle of fan suffering. The hosts debate whether coach Aaron Glenn is losing the locker room, tear into Justin Fields' "terrible" play, and discuss the viability of switching to Tyrod Taylor for a "spark" against a tough Broncos defense. From a possible Rex Ryan return to the ludicrous thought of trading for Russell Wilson, the Jets' path forward is a volatile mess. The conversation then shifts to the Mets, focusing on Pete Alonso's massive contract demands, including his reported ask for a seven-year deal. Sal and BT dissect the value of the Polar Bear's power and debate the maximum worth of his extension, contrasting his cornerstone status with the trade potential of players like Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo as the Mets look to build a balanced, winning roster.
BT and Sal tear into the New York Jets after yet another embarrassing loss, arguing the team's issues extend beyond quarterback Justin Fields' poor play. The hosts argue that Head Coach Aaron Glenn's "scattered" in-game management, particularly his catastrophic decision-making at the end of the first half, is the more urgent problem. Sal expresses worry that Glenn will be "swallowed up" by the franchise's history of failure and fan discontent, while BT argues Glenn is simply a "first time head coach" learning on the job—though the 0-6 start leaves little room for growth. The conversation then turns to whether a change at quarterback to Tyrod Taylor is necessary to salvage a win against Carolina and whether the Giants can continue their hot streak against the Broncos. They close the segment with a sidebar on St. John's Basketball and Coach Rick Pitino playing golf against Boomer & Gio.
BT and Sal dive into a fiery discussion covering Saquon Barkley's compelling documentary, the contentious debate over what ingredients truly belong in a Sunday sauce (or gravy), and the New York Jets' perennial disaster. The Saquon segment dissects how the Giants ownership and former GM Joe Shane disrespected their star running back by prioritizing Daniel Jones and refusing a fair contract, ultimately leading to Barkley's gratifying, Super Bowl-winning escape to the Eagles. The hosts debate the analytics-vs-appreciation approach to running back valuation, with Sal emphasizing the lack of respect shown to a "transcendent player" over a minimal amount of money. Switching gears to the Jets, a passionate caller unleashes a "conspiracy theory" of "stupidity," claiming that Woody Johnson's meddling and poor decision-making have created a cycle of failure. BT defends former coach Eric Mangini as the last guy to truly build the team, arguing that the current regime under GM Joe Douglas and Coach Aaron Glenn is undoing years of accumulating mess. The call of the day highlights the panic over the team potentially "screwing up" a high draft pick. Finally, the show briefly lightens the mood with a spirited culinary detour, sparked by a caller's comment on anchovies in the sauce. The hosts share family sauce/gravy recipes, with Sal revealing his additions of red wine and sugar, before quickly returning to the reality of the 0-6 Jets and the high-stakes, low-confidence outlook for their upcoming game against Carolina. The breaking news of the Titans firing Brian Callahan further frames the discussion on dysfunctional NFL franchises
BT & Sal's "Call of the Day" features a fiery, frustrated caller named James who has had enough of the Jets' current regime. James argues that the "learning on the job" excuse for the first-time head coach and GM is a total failure, leading to a product on the field that is "only getting worse." He slams owner Woody Johnson, warning that if this management duo squanders a potential No. 1 overall pick, it will "literally send this franchise back decades" and make the Zach Wilson pick look like nothing. A direct, scorching-hot indictment of the team's decision-makers.
BT and Sal take a fiery detour from Jets post-mortems to tackle a more essential, time-honored debate: What truly belongs in tomato sauce? The conversation ignites with a caller defending anchovies in "sauce," quickly escalating into the classic gravy vs. sauce linguistic battle. The hosts don't hold back, sharing their secret ingredients—from fresh basil and red wine to a controversial touch of sugar and the flavor boost of sausage oil—while lamenting the lost art of the Sunday sauce ritual. This segment is a passionate, sometimes-heated, and genuinely funny exploration of food, family traditions, and the impossibility of finding good lasagna when you're not Italian.
BT and Sal dive headfirst into the heated discussion surrounding Pete Alonso's rumored demand for a seven-year contract. Sal questions the reality of Alonso getting a deal that long, while BT argues the focus should be on the total money, not the years, as he draws a firm line at $170 million. The hosts fiercely debate the risk, value, and practicality of a massive long-term deal for the slugger, including his place alongside Juan Soto and the broader impact on the team's construction and defensive balance. Is Alonso's demand a pipe dream, and what is the absolute maximum the Mets should offer?
BT and Sal dive into the brutal reality of the New York Jets' 0-6 start, zeroing in on a critical flaw: their inability to consistently run the football. The hosts argue that if opponents can completely shut down the ground game, the Jets become one-dimensional and "non-competitive," a problem painfully evident in their ugly loss to the Broncos. They discuss the ineffectiveness of the offense, the mounting pressure on rookie head coach Aaron Glenn, and whether the team's dismal record is a fair reflection of their overall performance. The conversation is a fiery autopsy of a season quickly spiraling out of control.
BT and Sal dive into the "unkillable" spirit of New York Jets fans, questioning how they continue to endure the perpetual cycle of disappointment and failure. Sal, a long-suffering Jets fan, describes the commitment of emotion, money, and time to a team that "gives us nothing," labeling it the greatest disparity in all of sport. The hosts discuss the flicker of hope that ignites with new coaches, GMs, and quarterbacks, only to be brutally extinguished by the on-field product. The discussion also features fan calls on the team's dismal performance, the possibility of bringing back Rex Ryan to "shut up the fans," and a heated debate over the efficacy of quarterback Justin Fields versus backup Tyrod Taylor. The segment is a raw, impassioned look at the unique, almost masochistic, loyalty of the Jets fanbase.
BT and Sal unleash a scathing post-mortem on the Jets' brutal London game, declaring the early-morning NFL matchup "unwatchable" and "not real football." Sal proposes an extreme solution: relegate the perpetually bad Jets from TV broadcasts entirely. The hosts and callers dissect the team's myriad of blunders, including the quarterback's "skittish" play, the lack of physical receivers, and a baffling sequence that saw the coach call a time-out only to run the clock out instead of attempting to score, leading to fiery demands for coaching changes and a deep skepticism about the organization's competence.
BT and Sal engage in a fiery clash over Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn's decision to stick with Justin Fields despite a disastrous performance, refusing to turn to veteran backup Tyrod Taylor. While Glenn argues one bad game shouldn't warrant a benching, Sal rips the logic, insisting the coach missed a critical opportunity to spark a culture change and salvage a win. The hosts debate the true value of seeing what they have in Fields versus attempting to energize a losing team.
BT and Sal tear into the New York Jets organization following an "all-time low" performance marked by questionable coaching decisions and a palpable sense of organizational dysfunction. The discussion centers on the growing crisis surrounding Head Coach Aaron Glenn, with Sal questioning if Glenn is the right person to lead the team, especially with a potential top draft pick looming. They dissect Glenn's management of the game—particularly the baffling end to the first half and the final down-and-distance decision—and his defensive, overwhelmed interactions with the media. While Sal argues the team looks lost and lacks "a clue" under Glenn, BT counters that a first-time coach needs more than six games, arguing the Jets' toxic culture is the true culprit, not just the head coach. They ultimately debate the catastrophic implications for the franchise's future if upper management makes another ill-fated coaching change.
The Giants win over the Eagles on Thursday Night Football receives high praise from Boomer & Gio. Plus, Jaxson Dart is silencing his doubters; Brandon Tierney and Sal Licata on why this Giants win feels different and the fire Dart has lit under this team; Evan & Tiki believe the hope and future feel real for the Giants; C-Mac is ecstatic over the Giants’ win.
Now that another Yankee season has ended without a championship, Boomer and Gio wonder if any actual changes will follow. BT and Sal doubt any real fallout will happen, and agree that nothing will change until there are new voices in the front office. Plus, Suzyn Waldman's thoughts on where the Yanks go from here, and Evan and Tiki discuss Aaron Judge's updated playoff legacy.
This week's Yankees highlights include all the reactions from another disappointing season, as all of our hosts don't hold anything back when criticizing the Bombers for bowing out in the ALDS following a no-show from the offense in a must-win game four.
BT and Sal explode with euphoria over the New York Giants' franchise-altering, dominant victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. They celebrate the arrival of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, whose moxie, toughness, and electrifying play have injected a sustainable, championship-level energy into the team and fan base. The hosts discuss the profound significance of the win—a complete shift in trajectory—while simultaneously questioning defensive coordinator Shane Bowen's "vanilla" scheme for potentially holding an otherwise elite unit back. This win, the hosts contend, is more legitimate and important for the future than the playoff victory of two years ago, justifying ownership's faith in Brian Daboll and the new regime.
BT and Sal deliver a scorching hot take on the state of the NFL, starting with a fiery demand to ban the Eagles' "tush push"—calling it a "cheap," "stupid," and "not entertaining" play with a hidden cheating element (00:00:00). The hosts tear into "Philly Nation" after the Eagles' loss to the Giants and the Phillies' disastrous MLB playoff exit, declaring it a "rough wake up" for the city (00:18:11). The discussion shifts to the euphoric, unfamiliar feeling of watching the Giants finish a game in victory formation (00:30:35), celebrating the "new era" under Brian Daboll and rookie QB Jaxson Dart. BT and Sal explore whether this surge of progress validates the decision to stick with the current coach and GM, arguing that the team's competitive nature means "any game... is now officially winnable"
