Evan & Tiki

Things get personal when Aaron Boone unexpectedly fires back at on-air criticism, directly calling out comments made by Shaun about how the New York Yankees handled Jasson Domínguez. What follows is a full blown fact check, as Evan digs into every two-hit game Domínguez had last season and proves Boone sat him eight times immediately after, including against multiple right-handed pitchers. Anecdotes turn into data, and the numbers spark a heated debate about development, matchups, and trusting young players when they are hot.

From there, the conversation shifts back to the New York Giants and the hiring of Matt Nagy. Callers weigh in on what Nagy really brings after his time with the Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears, debating how much credit he deserves, what he learned from Andy Reid, and why his role alongside Jaxson Dart matters more than his head coaching record.

The segment wraps with classic sports-radio chaos, including a live season ticket negotiation at MetLife Stadium, fan frustration boiling over, and a quick pivot toward the next headline involving Roger Goodell and league level scrutiny.

The show takes a sharp and hilarious turn with Posted & Toasted, as the crew digs up old tweets from WFAN coworkers and lets Tiki Barber guess who posted them before deciding who deserves to be toasted.

It starts with an all time 2020 cold take shredding Doug Pederson and Matt Nagy while propping up Eric Bieniemy and questioning the greatness of Andy Reid. Tiki immediately sniffs it out as a vintage Shaun Morash take.

Then comes a dark 2017 train ride tweet that shocks everyone when it turns out to belong to Chris McMonigle, followed by a 2023 confession from Evan Roberts admitting he roots against the New York Yankees just to hear Big Mac battle callers over Aaron Boone.

his segment opens with a full takedown of what the Pro Bowl has become and why it no longer means what it used to. Justin Fields turning down the Pro Bowl earns respect, while seeing Shedeur Sanders labeled a “Pro Bowler” highlights how hollow the honor has become. The crew argues the solution is simple: keep Pro Bowl selection as a standalone honor, then separate it from the exhibition event entirely, possibly reimagined as a fan focused showcase tied to flag football and the future Olympic push.

From there, the conversation swings back to New York football. The New York Giants are praised for leaning into real coaching and teaching under John Harbaugh, with callers emphasizing fundamentals like catching, tackling, and development, especially with young players such as Theo Johnson. The takeaway is that this staff feels deliberate and built to improve players, not just manage games.

Meanwhile, the New York Jets spiral continues. Calls center on ownership dysfunction, whether Woody Johnson is driving the franchise into a dead end, and the bleak reality that even big name saviors like Mike Tomlin feel unrealistic. The hour circles the same haunting question Jets fans cannot escape: who, if anyone, can actually save this franchise.

After painting the bleakest picture yet of the New York Jets, the crew tries to find the one possible silver lining: if this thing fully detonates, does Woody Johnson finally have his “James Dolan moment” where he spends big on a true franchise savior and then actually steps back?

They debate what the Jets are missing most, not just a quarterback or an OC, but a real football “filter” between ownership and the people trying to do the job. The frustration boils over when money enters the chat: rumors of Aaron Glenn earning massive dollars, fans getting crushed by rising costs at MetLife Stadium, and the core question that drives every call: if you are charging people a fortune, how do you not do everything possible to win?

Plus, calls pour in as Jets fans hit their breaking point, from “denouncing” fandom to wondering if the league would ever step in, while the show circles back to the reality that competence is the rarest commodity in this building right now.

Breaking news hits early as the New York Giants officially hire Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator under John Harbaugh. The crew digs into Nagy’s winding path from Chicago to Kansas City, his fit with Jaxson Dart, and why Theo Johnson could quietly thrive in this offense. It is not a splashy hire, but it feels deliberate, competent, and very Giants.

Then the conversation takes a sharp turn to the New York Jets, where exclusive reporting paints a bleak picture of an organization unraveling from the top down. Woody Johnson is accused of stripping authority from head coach Aaron Glenn, blocking key hires including Wink Martindale, and creating a culture so toxic that league insiders are warning others to stay away. As the Giants project stability and direction, the Jets appear stuck in a familiar cycle of dysfunction with no clear exit in sight.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone joins Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle on The Carton Show on WFAN for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense interview that hits every topic Yankees fans obsess over. Boone addresses long-standing rumors about Brian Cashman and analytics controlling in-game decisions, responds to criticism about accountability, and explains why he won’t rewatch painful losses. Plus, Boone opens up on Aaron Judge’s leadership, Giancarlo Stanton’s health, Gerrit Cole’s rehab, Anthony Volpe’s future, bullpen struggles, running it back in 2026, and the pressure of managing the New York Yankees without a championship. A must-watch conversation during Super Bowl week as Boone heads to Tampa for spring training.

Super Bowl Week Has Begun, is there any interesting storylines to this game? The Knicks win, and much more

Newly released emails connected to Jeffrey Epstein put New York Giants minority owner Steve Tisch in the spotlight, raising serious questions about accountability, league standards, and whether the NFL will actually confront uncomfortable issues involving ownership.

The guys break down what is known, what is denied, and why this story barely registered across national NFL media. They also dig into what authority Roger Goodell truly has, how past ownership scandals were handled, and why the Giants brand and the Mara family sit at the center of the conversation.

The show pivots to the Knicks. Was it worth paying a fortune to see LeBron James at Madison Square Garden, an all-time Reggie Miller broadcast moment that drove fans crazy, and whether the Knicks’ recent run changes the urgency to chase Giannis. A caller floats a Mikal Bridges for Jrue Holiday trade, and the guys explain why that idea quickly falls apart.

The crew pivots from the chaos of the morning and jumps into a rapid-fire exercise: stack this year’s Super Bowl (Patriots vs Seahawks) against the last decade and decide, honestly, which matchups had more juice before kickoff. It turns into a full breakdown of storylines, star power, coaching intrigue, and why some teams can be great but still feel bland.

They debate whether it’s East Coast bias, fatigue from seeing the same franchises, or simply that the newer versions of these teams are less interesting than the Brady era Patriots and the Legion of Boom era Seahawks. There’s also a Monday vibe prediction that this one could get ugly, plus a quick detour into the coaching carousel, why some jobs are becoming toxic, and what that could mean for teams like the Jets.

Then things go full radio: the hypocrisy conversation hits, how fans pick and choose outrage, and why perspective matters more than perception. It wraps with lighter chaos from the weekend, including concert takes, the legendary “Evan seats,” a wild UBS Arena story with Jon Ledecky, and the Islanders using Tommy’s Rangers-sweep rant as hype-video fuel.
