Sal and BT debate the Mets' slim playoff chances with only six games left, with Sal declaring the team a "dead team walking" due to months of poor play, mental mistakes, and a lack of accountability from management and players alike. Sal is frustrated by the team's robotic, "just got to win" messaging and firmly believes they won't go the minimum four-and-two required to make it. Conversely, BT holds onto a "flimsy" hope, suggesting the Mets are scripted for the "hard way in," though he concedes their confidence is "shot" and they look like "zombies." The discussion focuses on whether the Mets' talent and "goofy" leadership are good enough, with Sal arguing that the team desperately needs an "awakening" and a leader to "kick them in the rear end."

Sal and BT's discussion on the Giants' QB situation was upended by the breaking news that rookie Jaxson Dart will start in Week 4, a move they vehemently argued against as a "huge mistake." Before the news broke, they called for patience, advocating to stick with the veterans (Wilson or Winston) to protect the young QB, but the decision suggests the Giants are succumbing to public pressure and organizational panic after an 0-3 start. NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joined to give his take, having previously called for the rookie to start earlier, believing Dart's college experience and talent mean he's ready and provides a much-needed spark to the "gross" Giants offense. Ultimately, the hosts see this as a risky, expedited move—possibly driven by Brian Daboll's desire for self-preservation—that could define or destroy the young quarterback and the current regime.

In their "Call of the Day," BT and Sal dissected the Giants' decision to start Jaxson Dart in Week 4, a move they both agree is exciting for the fans but potentially a mistake for the organization. The hosts were momentarily stunned by a caller who expressed shock at agreeing with both of them on the controversial nature of the decision. Sal argued that putting Dart into a floundering, O-and-3 situation with an unproven system is not the right spot for him to succeed. Meanwhile, the conversation touched on the Mets' rapidly fading playoff hopes, with Sal lamenting the "unfathomable" thought of Juan Soto missing the postseason, further highlighting the stark contrast between the two teams' current levels of drama and desperation.

In a rare moment of on-air alignment, a caller named Randy from Brooklyn had to pull over his car, utterly shocked to find himself in total agreement with both Brendan Tierney and Sal Licata. The caller's main point, which echoed the hosts' sentiment, centered on the excitement surrounding the Giants' new quarterback, Jaxson Dart, and the need for patience from the fanbase as the team enters a period of intense scrutiny and development. He framed the situation as "the most exciting thing" to happen in New York football, an unexpected moment of harmony between the hosts and their usually combative audience.

NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joined BT and Sal to react to the breaking news of rookie Jaxson Dart being named the Giants' starting quarterback for Week 4, a move Baldinger had been advocating for much earlier. Baldinger passionately argued that the previous quarterback was leaving "winnable games on the field" with "non-competitive" throws, making the change a necessary move to inject life into the stagnant, predictable offense. He cited Dart's extensive experience and "fearless" play in tough SEC environments as evidence that the rookie is prepared to handle the pressure, insisting that the Giants need to "ride him" despite the inherent risk of starting a young player so early.

Sal and BT had breaking news as Adam Schefter reported that rookie Jaxson Dart will be the Giants' starting quarterback for Week 4 against the Chargers, a move Sal sees as an acceleration driven by the team's 0-3 start and fan pressure, not a perfectly planned transition. While acknowledging the instant "infusion of energy" and excitement among the fanbase, Sal is highly skeptical of the timing, fearing the struggling organization is "ruining" the rookie by throwing him into a difficult situation with a poor supporting cast, which he warns could lead to a familiar cycle: Dart's confidence is rattled, the coach (Daboll) gets fired, and the organization is left with a broken young quarterback.

BT and Sal unleash the latest round of "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" with "Pessimistic Pete" Hof delivering four blistering statements, igniting fiery debate across the NFL, NBA, and MLB. The trio clashes over the durability and future of quarterbacks, specifically whether Russell Wilson will play more games than the concussed Justin Fields in 2025. The discussion turns to the NBA, where they debate if the media will hold off calling Karl-Anthony Towns "soft" for a full month into the new season, with Sal immediately dismissing the notion. Finally, the focus lands on the Mets, as they tackle the tense question of whether Pete Alonso has played his last home game in a Mets uniform, with both hosts firmly agreeing that Cohen and the team must find a way to re-sign the slugger.

Sal and BT debated the New York Giants' impending quarterback decision following a difficult start to the season, with Sal adamantly declaring that Jameis Winston should not be an option to replace Russell Wilson. Sal insisted the team must transition directly to rookie Jaxson Dart, bypassing Winston, arguing that plugging in the veteran is a sign of desperation that will ultimately fail the team. BT agreed with the urgency of a change but conceded that the Giants might temporarily turn to Winston as a "life preserver" for a couple of weeks, though both hosts preferred a direct and definitive move to the younger prospect. They both agreed that Winston represents a stop-gap measure that would derail the long-term plan and would not provide a definitive answer for the team's future.

Sal and BT tore into the Mets as the team faces its final six games while sitting outside of a playoff spot, questioning how a team with this much talent could be this bad. Sal refused to call it a "collapse," arguing that they've been playing poor baseball for too long, but he has zero faith they'll go at least 4-2 to clinch a spot. BT shared Sal's frustration, noting that the team's loss of confidence has led to a torrent of sloppy, fundamentally unsound play and "zombie-like" post-game reactions. Both agreed that the team has no answers, is relying too much on the idea of its talent, and is in desperate need of an "awakening" that likely won't come in time to save their season.

BT and Sal ignited a debate over the Yankees' long-shot but still mathematically possible chance at winning the AL East, arguing that the Blue Jays are far from a guaranteed winner. Sal emphasized that given the Yankees' soft closing schedule, a 6-0 or 5-1 finish is a "very realistic" possibility, which—coupled with a modest collapse by Toronto—could swing the division title. The hosts declared that the Yankees must play with urgency and force the Blue Jays to "earn" the crown, setting up a thrilling final week where a Wild Card berth is secured, but the greater prize of the division remains within striking distance.
