Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News delivered fiery insight into the New York Giants' decision to bench Russell Wilson for rookie Jaxson Dart, revealing a deep-seated divide between Head Coach Brian Daboll and the front office/ownership. According to Leonard, Daboll, who is firmly on the hot seat at 0-3, has wanted to play Dart from the start and is now making a desperation move to save his job, viewing Dart as his "guy" to ride or die with. This unilateral decision, made against the backdrop of a pre-ordained agreement to start Wilson, has exposed a major philosophical disagreement on the quarterback position and suggests that the collaborative pairing of Daboll and GM Joe Schoen is no longer in lockstep, raising the possibility of a Schoen/Daboll split at the end of the season.

Sal and BT were thoroughly unimpressed with Brian Daboll's press conference regarding the switch from Russell Wilson to rookie Jaxson Dart, accusing the head coach of hiding the real reason behind the move. Daboll repeatedly stated, "It's my decision" and insisted on keeping the details of his conversations with the quarterbacks "private," which the hosts interpreted as a clear sign of evasiveness and a lack of organizational accountability. They believe the change was forced by Wilson's poor play and a desperate need to save Daboll's job, rather than Dart being fully ready—a motive Daboll refused to openly admit—which they argue puts the rookie in a poor position to succeed.

BT and Sal's weekly "Three Random Questions" (3RQ) segment was packed with heated debate, focusing on three diverse topics. The discussion first ignited over the appropriate reaction if you were Devonta Smith and saw a security guard aggressively checking out your girlfriend on the sidelines, leading to a debate on common courtesy and "game" when catching a quick glance. Next, the hosts tackled survivor pool strategy: if you have multiple entries, should you pick the same team or different teams, with Sal advocating for riding one strong pick and BT preferring to increase his odds. Finally, they pondered the surreal question: which celebrity would you want to attend your wake, which quickly devolved into a comedic back-and-forth about Boomer, Gio, and the dream of having Adam Sandler or Margot Robbie show up.

Sal and BT dove headfirst into the heated American League MVP debate, pitting the Yankees' Aaron Judge against the Mariners' Cal Raleigh. Sal argued passionately for Raleigh, asserting he is the Most Valuable Player due to his historic 58 home runs as a catcher and his impact in leading the Mariners to a division title after a 24-year drought; Sal claimed the Yankees would still be a playoff team without Judge. BT countered by focusing on the superior overall numbers, citing Judge's overwhelming lead in rate stats like OPS ($1.100+ to Raleigh's .948) and superior WAR (9.2 fWAR to 8.8 fWAR), arguing that Judge is simply the Best Player, and that positional difficulty or team narrative shouldn't outweigh his statistical dominance. The debate intensified over the definition of "valuable" and whether voters prioritize all-around performance or an incredible, history-making single-season feat.

Sal and BT dissected the Mets' massive comeback win, a game that saw them rally from a 6-1 deficit against the Cubs. BT was energized, declaring that the dramatic victory, highlighted by home runs from Nimmo and Alvarez, has secured the Mets' spot in the playoffs. In fiery contrast, Sal remained utterly unfooled, pointing out that the team's continuous issues—awful starting pitching, sloppy defense, and heavy reliance on the bullpen—mean the season is still an "epic failure" and they're just barely postponing the inevitable. Despite the win, Sal's faith in the Mets is broken, while BT sees the crucial, character-defining nature of the victory.

BT and Sal are fired up by the Yankees' suddenly real chance to snatch the AL East division title from the Blue Jays in the final week of the season. Given the Yankees' surprising offensive power—with eight players sporting an OPS over .800—Sal believes if the Yankees win tonight and the Blue Jays lose, the shift in momentum could be decisive. They discuss the remaining games and the scenarios needed for a division win, with BT stressing that any record worse than 4-1 for the Yankees would mean they didn't deserve it. Both hosts anticipate the sweet victory and a celebratory on-air "victory dance" from Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay if they manage to take the division from the trash-talking Blue Jays.

BT and Sal put aside their usual criticisms to acknowledge the unrivaled success of the Yankees franchise, especially after clinching yet another playoff spot. They challenged any fan to name a better franchise they'd rather switch places with, highlighting the Yankees' near-guaranteed annual postseason berths as an achievement few teams can match. Sal pointed to the Mets' struggles this year, despite a massive payroll, as a prime example of how difficult sustained success is, arguing that the Yankees' run of consistency is a remarkable feat that fans often take for granted. The Yankees, they concluded, are simply the gold standard in baseball, whether you like it or not.

BT and Sal celebrated the Yankees' routine return to the postseason, acknowledging it's an accomplishment that's often taken for granted in New York. Despite losing Gerrit Cole and Juan Soto, and overcoming early-season struggles like Devin Williams' high ERA, the team pivoted successfully with players like Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, and a stellar bullpen rebuilt at the deadline. The hosts agreed that while the Yankees are held to an impossibly high standard and have flaws, their consistent ability to be in the hunt—and potentially win the division—is something all fans should appreciate, especially compared to the struggles of other local teams. The focus now shifts to whether this flawed, yet dangerous, team can finally cap off a season with a World Series title.

Sal and BT furiously dissected the Giants' sudden decision to bench Russell Wilson for rookie QB Jaxson Dart, a move they believe is driven by panic and self-preservation from Brian Daboll rather than a sound plan. The hosts argued that throwing Dart into the 0-3 disaster risks "ruining" the franchise quarterback, a reckless move contrasted with their grim assessment of the Mets' playoff hopes, which Sal declared are a "dead team walking" due to a complete lack of accountability and "zombie-like" play. The debate covered the "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" of the Giants' organizational stability and featured the take of NFL insider Brian Baldinger, all leading to the conclusion that New York sports are defined by organizational mistakes and a desperate search for short-term relief.

Sal and BT furiously debated the Giants' potential, hasty decision to bench Russell Wilson for rookie QB Jaxson Dart after an 0-3 start, suspecting the move is driven by panic and self-preservation rather than a disciplined plan. Sal argued that benching Wilson, who had a historic 450-yard game just a week prior, is an emotional, unsound decision, especially for an organization that lacks consistency and identity under Brian Daboll. BT agreed that the move is too early and likely owner-driven to satisfy a desperate fanbase, but suggested starting Jameis Winston first to protect Dart from being thrown into a bad situation. Both hosts concluded that while Dart is the future, rushing him out now risks "ruining" him, echoing the need for the Giants to remain disciplined and prioritize long-term development over immediate, temporary relief for a frustrated fanbase.
