Episode 54: Hands at 10 and 2

Theme this week is simple: Take the Wheel. Coaches, GMs, stars — everybody grabbed control.

We start with the Jets, because Aaron Glenn calling the defense and calling it his “superpower” is the loudest “my turn” moment of the offseason. I give the GM his credit too — early moves have direction, the cap space is real, and for the first time in a minute, there’s a pulse of hope. Giants talk is on deck as well: power dynamics, trade lanes, and what it looks like when a franchise is deciding who’s actually driving the vision.

Then it’s Knicks therapy. Cade gets a quick drive-by, but the main story is the whiplash: a comeback that makes you believe, rotations that make you confused, and the ugly mirror game that reminds you how fast this team can live and die by the three. We get into Brunson, the rotation politics, and the full KAT experience.

Baseball keeps New York front and center like always — Cole and Lindor tracking toward Opening Day, Stanton’s elbows, the Yankees roster squeeze, CC getting his flowers, Soto chasing Mets history, the Alonso aftermath, plus a quick WBC check-in and the robot-zone challenge debate.

We close with a USA hockey moment that’s going to live forever: women’s gold, men’s gold, Crosby injury fallout, and why the whole country was awake at 8 a.m. to watch a puck.
