Born in '87

The Mets, Jets and Knicks are always terrible and 2020 was no different.  Therefore for our final pod of 2020, Ross Green joins Justin and Adam to countdown the 10 Worst Mets, Jets and Knicks moments of the year (15:00).  At the top of the pod, we briefly discuss the Jets, as they are coming off of their Browns win which solidified their positioning at #2 in the 2021 NFL Draft, and the end of the pod we make our Week 17 Picks (1:19:43).  If you listen to us and root for these terrible teams, you are used to the misery, so listen to our end of year countdown and as always, hope next year will be better. 

Thank you for listening in 2020 and we promise to continuing bringing you great content in 2021!

It is the eve of the Knicks 2020-21 season, and the "Born in '87" pod is here to preview it.  Chris Meany returns as we break down the Knicks offseason and look ahead to what we expect from the team this season.  While we may not think the Knicks will be very good this season, I think you will find that this is the most optimistic we have been about this team in about 7 years.  It is time to get excited for some Knicks basketball, enjoy!

Jets 23-Rams 20.  The Jets beat the Rams and the Jets will now (probably) not have the opportunity to draft Trevor Lawrence.  Shortly after this game went final, we recorded an emergency pod, sharing our raw real-time emotions after this Jets win which no Jets fan wanted.  Share in the misery with us on this one.

The Mets have have hired new General Manager, Jared Porter, and we have brought Travis Williams onto the pod (for a record 3rd time) to talk about it (9:55).  While we do spend the majority of this pod discussing Jared Porter and the what we would like to see him do with the Mets this offseason, this pod take a bunch of wild and wacky turns.  Toward the end of the pod, we transition into Jets talk, as we break down the instant classic Jets skit from last week's episode of Saturday Night Live (48:12), Travis combats some of the Jets takes from our recent podcast guests (54:18), and we make our Week 15 NFL Picks (1:02:49).  Before all of that though, we also throw Travis into the Mets Tortured Fan Corner (3:01).  We had some good Mets and Jets talk on this pod with a lot of laughs along the way, enjoy!

Who will the next Head Coach of the New York Jets be? We may not know the answer to that question, but on today’s pod we are going to break down all of the candidates (6:04). John Hill and Erik Montalbano join us as we do a deep dive into all the guys that Joe Douglas may consider hiring. We break down the guys everyone are talking about (Bieniemy and Smith), some names that are a bit fantastical (Cowher and Pennington), some that are a bit ridiculous (Ryan and Manning), and many more. At the top of the pod, we put Erik into the Tortured Fan Corner. We had a lot of fun breaking down these coaching candidates and think this is a pod you will really enjoy!

This is a very special episode of the “Born in ‘87” Podcast. Steve Cohen has Mets fans as excited as we can ever remember. Part of that excitement also stems from the fact that the Wilpon’s no longer own the team. To partake in this excitement, we wanted to hear from the fans, so we brought on five diehard Mets fans to share one of their terrible Wilpon memories and then express why they are so excited for the Steve Cohen era. Justin and Adam share their memories at the top (0:10), then Travis Williams (18:30), Pat Milano (32:30), Alex Bigelisen (44:44), Ross Green (55:45) and Andrew Martini (1:11:12) all come on to kick dirt on the Wilpon’s one final time and share in the Steve Cohen excitement. We had a blast talking with Mets Nation, and if you are a Mets fan this is a must listen. Enjoy!

On today’s pod we are joined by Harrison Glaser of Take Flight Media. In this episode we take Harrison into the Tortured Fan Corner and then talk at length about the current state of the Jets.  We play out the draft scenarios for the Jets at both the # 1 and # 2 pick by breaking down Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields.  We also share our mutual love for Joe Douglas and give reasons to be optimistic about the future of the franchise.

The Knicks drafted Obi Toppin and for the first time (maybe ever), we are pumped about a Knicks draft pick!  We recorded this pod during last night's NBA Draft, so listen to our rapid reaction to the Knicks drafting Toppin.  We also do a full Knicks Offseason Preview.

What are the Crap Rankings?  From time to time, we will rank the crappy teams we root for and decide in order, how close the Mets, Jets and Knicks, at that given moment, are to a championship, and that is we do on today's pod.  At the end of the pod, despite the Jets having a Week 10 Bye, we make our Week 10 NFL Picks (9:38).

This is a quick pod today, because this week we went on "The End of The Bench Show", where we have an in-depth discussion about the Mets and what we think they are going to do this offseason.  If you want to hear us talk Mets, listen to their show right now, which can be found wherever you get your podcasts.  You can follow "The End of the Bench Show" on Instagram @the_endofthebench and on Twitter @theeotb.

Remember earlier in 2020 when Curb Your Enthusiasm had a new season and there was an episode featuring the Jets?  We thought everyone could use a few laughs this week, so we have decided to release our review of that Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, which was titled "The Ugly Section."  In the past we have alluded to the period before we launched when we were doing trial pods, and this past March when Larry David released his episode "The Ugly Section (Season 10, Episode 7)" we felt compelled to review it.  We have been thinking about releasing this pod for the listeners and thought that this was the perfect week to do it.  Enjoy our review of the episode (4:24) and at the end of the pod we run through our Week 9 NFL Picks (51:25).  We had a ton of fun recording this and are excited for you to listen!

Next week we will be talking about the Mets on Part 2 of our Crossover Podcast Series with "The End of the Bench Show."  This podcast will appear exclusively on their feed, so please listen to the "End of the Bench Show" podcast next week to hear us talk some Mets baseball.
