Jerry is in for his first update of the morning, bringing all the sounds from a dismal Sunday that saw both the Giants and Jets spiral further into irrelevance. Elsewhere, the Patriots climbed toward the #1 seed with a win over a Ravens team that is now likely missing the playoffs with Lamar Jackson injured again, and the Steelers escaped Detroit on a controversial, game-ending offensive pass interference call. To cap it all off, the Jaguars stunned the Broncos in Denver.

Another week, another double-dose of misery for the Jets and Giants—but the real story is the baffling usage of Jaxson Dart. After Dart was limited to just 13 pass attempts, Gio is demanding to know why the Giants are even playing him.

Boomer & Gio discuss the outlook for the rest of the Jets season and why they should position themselves to draft Fernando Mendoza. Plus, Boomer & Gio wonder if Aaron Glenn will be one and done; Brandon Tierney believes the Jets must tank the rest of the season; Evan Roberts asks Tiki Barber if he would want Mendoza in New York; Tierney reacts to the Jets firing of Steve Wilks.

Brandon Tierney, Boomer & Gio (18:46), and Evan & Tiki (33:47) all react to the Knicks winning the NBA Cup in-season tournament and what it means for the franchise and rest of season. Plus, Evan says the Knicks are not obligated to raise a banner for the NBA Cup (51:06); Marc Malusis makes the case to keep the core intact and not go after Giannis (1:02:31); Boomer wonders if this could be the Knicks’ year? (1:17:04)

Luke Weaver is heading to the Mets, and both Evan and Morash believe it could turn out to be a high-reward signing. McMonigle agrees, but wonders why the salary was as high as it was. Plus, Moose sounds off on David Stearns' philosophies that led to losing Pete Alonso, and McMonigle says the team is having a brutal offseason so far.

Brandon Tierney says the Yankees better not lose Bellinger to the Mets, or it will be the biggest embarrassment of the Hal Steinbrenner era. He also believes the Yanks should load up on pitching and revamp their identity in 2026. Marc Malusis rips the organization's complacency, and the Evan and Tiki crew lament New York's quiet offseason.

Boomer & Gio react to the Knicks winning the NBA Cup and the celebration between Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson. Plus, an update with Jerry centers on the Knicks’ NBA Cup and Mike Francesa citing politics causing a divide in the Mets’ clubhouse; should Aaron Glenn be one and done with the Jets? The guys break down the favorites in the AFC and NFC; should Jaxson Dart have a say in the Giants next head coach? And Week 16 NFL picks.
