Hour 4: The Gravy Trainwreck: Saquon's Payday vs. the Perpetual Jets Problem
Update: 2025-10-13
Description
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
