Sam Darnold is a win away from the Super Bowl, does this make the Jets look even worse? Our picks for Sunday, thought's on snow, and much more

Sam Darnold is one win from the Super Bowl, and Jets fans have no idea what to do with themselves. On one hand, they still like Sam and want to see him succeed. On the other, they can already feel what’s coming next: two straight weeks of “LOL Jets” takes if Seattle punches the ticket.

The guys relive the Jets era, the “seeing ghosts” moment that became a defining label, and the decision to move on for Zach Wilson. They debate alternate history: what if the Jets kept Darnold, traded back, and built the roster right? Plus, how much credit does Sam deserve for Seattle’s run, and why this feels even more brutal than watching Saquon win with the Eagles. Also: the poll results, and which fan base actually has it worse.

Sean Payton drops a line that sounds like a sneaky guarantee, and the guys argue if it counts. A new poll update pours gasoline on the Jets vs Giants embarrassment debate. Fernando Mendoza’s interview sparks a surprisingly heated Apple Maps vs Google Maps argument. Plus, Giants fans get a letter from John Harbaugh, and the staff overhaul begins with early reports on who’s staying and who’s gone.

Hour 3 gets loud, even when the voice stays calm. The guys react to Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver’s intense, old school defensive mindset and why his Harbaugh ties and resume make him a real Giants candidate, whether as a coordinator or a head coach. Then it turns into a full-on snowstorm debate after a viral tweet sparks a weather war, plus a classic caller joke that actually lands. Finally, the Patriots title game drought gets the Cinco de Luncho treatment, and the conversation veers into Super Bowl memories, controversy fatigue, and why fans never shut up about old calls.

Evan & Tiki react to an unbelievable Giants draft story where a top prospect literally slept through meetings — and still got picked. Plus: Giants culture under Harbaugh, Philly fans losing their minds over the Mets, snow chaos, NFL Championship picks, and classic WFAN banter that goes completely off the rails.

The guys circle back to an emailed question they missed and finally explain the Cody Bellinger contract debate. If the Mets offered Kyle Tucker four years and $160M, why not offer Bellinger the same? The answer comes down to age, value, and how the Mets view Tucker compared to Bellinger, plus the sense that Bellinger’s market was basically the Yankees.

Then it’s time for the weekly highlight reel: “Idiots With Idioms,” where everyone gets roasted for mangling phrases, mixing metaphors, and inventing brand new sayings on live radio. Add in storm chatter affecting schedules and travel, and the hour closes with Championship Sunday picks and updated playoff standings, including the big debates around Patriots at Broncos and Rams at Seahawks.
