Evan & Tiki

Mets fans are already dreaming big. With a deep roster, Juan Soto in the lineup, and dominant young arms like Nolan McClain generating buzz, the excitement for the upcoming season is real. Evan and Tiki discuss whether this Mets team truly has World Series potential and why the expectations feel different in the Steve Cohen era.

Plus, the conversation goes all over the place with callers weighing in on everything from rebuilding Shea Stadium to the strange history of corporate stadium names. Should teams bring back iconic ballparks or just sell naming rights forever?

Also in this segment: a quick debate about quarterbacks taking hits, the Jets’ roster philosophy, and the new MLB rules surrounding first and third base coaches.

The Giants’ new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is already making headlines after publicly praising rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Nagy highlights Dart’s leadership, toughness, and “it factor,” even drawing comparisons to what he saw early in Patrick Mahomes’ career.

But there’s also a warning. Nagy admits Dart takes too many unnecessary hits and will need to learn when to protect himself at the next level. Evan and Tiki break down what Nagy’s comments reveal about the Giants’ plan for their young quarterback and whether Dart can truly become the franchise leader New York has been searching for.

Plus, the conversation expands into draft strategy, the value of smart quarterback play, and a few wild caller ideas about the Giants’ future.

Conor Green leads another edition of Cinco de Luncho, counting down the five worst types of people you encounter during March Madness. From people submitting multiple brackets to the guy claiming he still has a “perfect bracket,” Conor and the guys call out the biggest tournament frauds. The conversation also turns to college fan bandwagons, Syracuse basketball misery, and the absurd lengths people go to while filling out their brackets. Plus, Evan and Tiki react to rumors that Citi Field’s naming rights could change and debate whether some stadium names should ever be touched.

Evan and Tiki break down WFAN’s craziest takes of the week in “Are You Kidding Me?” featuring Big Mac’s Roger Clemens defense, Craig Carton’s Joe Montana claim, Tommy Lugauer’s Saquon Barkley argument, and Shaun Morash’s Giants draft take. Plus, the guys react to Alex Rodriguez’s White House appearance and Donald Trump’s past comments about A-Rod.

The quarterback conversation continues as Evan and Tiki react to a projection that the Jets could end up with Jacoby Brissett and Geno Smith in their QB room. Would a Geno reunion make any sense, or would it just bring back painful memories for Jets fans?

They also revisit the Derek Carr speculation and debate whether his recent comments actually mean he wants to play in New York or if the Jets are reading too much into it. Plus, the guys pivot to baseball with Yankees spring training talk, Aaron Boone’s live “damn it” reaction during a Ryan McMahon play, and why top prospect George Lombard is starting to turn heads in camp.

The Jets quarterback carousel rolls on and Evan Roberts is convinced he’s cracked the code. After weeks of hints, comments, and speculation, Evan believes Derek Carr is destined to land with the Jets. But Tiki isn’t buying it and thinks the Jets might be getting played.

The guys break down why Carr might actually want New York, why Minnesota could still be the best football situation, and what the Jets truly need at quarterback right now. They also debate Daniel Jones’ situation after receiving the transition tag, why the Vikings could make sense as a landing spot, and what it would take for Indianapolis to let him walk. Plus, callers weigh in with wild quarterback ideas including Geno Smith, Zach Wilson, and the possibility of the Jets absorbing Tua’s contract just to grab a first-round pick.

Is Derek Carr practically telling everyone he wants to be the New York Jets’ next quarterback? Evan Roberts thinks the clues are impossible to ignore after another strange moment from Derek Carr and David Carr’s show seemed to point directly at the Jets.

Evan and Tiki break down whether Carr is seriously eyeing New York or just trolling a desperate fan base for attention. Plus, the debate continues over the Jets’ quarterback future, whether Spencer Rattler or Tanner McKee are worth a shot, and why the Giants’ running back situation is still far from settled despite Devin Singletary’s contract restructure.

From quarterback bingo to free agency wish lists, this hour is loaded with Jets and Giants offseason drama.

Would the New York Jets ever take on Tua Tagovailoa’s massive contract if it meant landing a valuable first-round pick from the Miami Dolphins? Evan Roberts proposes a bold, controversial strategy: use the Jets’ cap space as a weapon, absorb Tua’s deal, and stockpile draft capital for the future.

Evan compares the idea to NBA rebuild tactics and past NFL salary-dump trades, arguing the move isn’t about Tua at all. It’s about turning cap space into elite draft assets. Tiki Barber pushes back, questioning whether taking on a struggling, injury-prone quarterback would sabotage Aaron Glenn’s chances to win now.
