The conversation spirals from unforgettable Super Bowl halftime shows to the ones nobody remembers, with everything from Dre and Snoop to dancing sharks and post 9/11 U2. The crew debates whether comedy belongs at halftime, why vulgar humor usually lands the hardest, and how easily people get offended during the biggest TV event of the year. Bad Bunny’s lyrics spark a surprisingly awkward moment, leading into a larger discussion about shock value, culture, and where the NFL draws the line. The segment wraps with bold, way-too-early predictions for next year’s halftime performer, including Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Jelly Roll, and a few wild cards, plus classic sports radio detours that only make the debate better.

The Knicks walk into Boston and flat-out embarrass the Celtics, and the best part might be the meltdown afterward. Jalen Brunson cooks, Josh Hart does Josh Hart things, and Boston bricks everything in sight, but Celtics fans and media still found excuses. First it was the early tip time. Then it was, seriously, the Super Bowl and Patriots fans selling tickets that “let Knicks fans invade the Garden.” The guys break down why the excuses are nonsense, why this February win actually matters in the standings, and how different fan bases handle losses. Plus, the conversation swings back to the Super Bowl fallout with calls about benching Drake Maye, the offensive line getting wrecked, and the “seeing ghosts” line that might have been said before anyone else.

A little bit of everything after Super Bowl 60. The crew dives into why policing fandom is ridiculous, how Mike Tirico managed to misread allegiances and irritate half the audience, and the moment the game turned after a shirtless fan sprinted onto the field. Then it gets tactical as Mike Vrabel’s late-game decision making comes under the microscope, especially the two-point math that made no sense. Add in a Mack Hollins appreciation segment, gambling talk without the gambling, Drake Maye seeing ghosts, and a larger debate about whether quarterbacks actually decided this Super Bowl at all. A packed segment mixing sports logic, fan culture, and classic Monday morning frustration.

A random Super Bowl celebrity shoutout turned into an all out Jets fan meltdown. Evan and Tiki react to Mike Tirico calling Adam Sandler “a Patriots fan as per usual” and why that one line put a dark cloud over the rest of the night for a lot of Jets fans.

Was it a simple camera angle misunderstanding because Sandler was wearing a Super Bowl hat with both logos? Or is the real crime Tirico confidently saying “as per usual” like it is fact? The guys debate what is more egregious: Tirico mislabeling Sandler’s fandom on national TV, or Sandler even putting a Patriots logo on his head in any context.

While most fans called it boring, this was a perfect night for anyone who enjoys watching the New England Patriots fall flat on the biggest stage. We break down why Super Bowl 60 was far more entertaining than people want to admit, especially if you are a Jets fan or anyone tired of Patriots success.

From Seattle Seahawks controlling the game with defense and the run, to New England Patriots looking overwhelmed offensively, this episode dives into why the outcome felt inevitable early. We talk about Drake Maye struggling under playoff pressure, why the Patriots’ easy path finally caught up to them, and how Seattle won without needing a heroic performance from Sam Darnold.

Was the game ugly? Absolutely. Was it satisfying? For at least one bitter Jets fan, it was four hours of joy. We also look ahead to what this loss means for the Patriots, why getting close does not guarantee you will ever get back, and whether Seattle can realistically repeat this formula next season.

Evan & Tiki react to the Jose Alvarado trade as the news breaks during their show. Plus, Boomer & Gio on what the move means for the Knicks (12:55); the trade has Craig Carton feeling confident the Knicks can go all the way (18:29); the Knicks’ OT win over the Nuggets shows Boomer & Gio the team is kicking things into high gear (42:40); Evan Roberts on why you can believe in the Knicks (57:29); Evan & Tiki on the Deuce McBride injury (1:14:05); Craig Carton basks in the recent Knicks’ success (1:26:24).

Sam Darnold is in the Super Bowl, leading Evan and Tiki to look back on how far the Jets draft bust has come. Craig Carton doesn't believe anyone declaring that they won't watch this Sunday, though Chris McMonigle doesn't believe it is a "sexy" matchup. Plus, can the Giants follow the Patriots path and become contenders next year?

This week's Jets highlights are all about the hiring of Frank Reich as the team's new offensive coordinator, and reactions to Shaun Morash's report that Darren Mougey is already fed up with Woody Johnson. Plus, is there any hope the owner "pulls a James Dolan" and finally changes his ways?
