The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle

Craig and Chris McMonigle go head-to-head over which New York football franchise is closer to turning things around, whether the Jets and Giants have become “crap magnets,” and what the futures of Geno Smith and Jaxson Dart mean for both teams.

Craig Carton has noticed a major change in Jaxson Dart and he believes New York Giants fans should be thrilled.

After an offseason filled with celebrity appearances, big events and life in the spotlight, Dart has seemingly disappeared from the public eye as training camp approaches. Craig believes that means the young quarterback is locked in on football and preparing to prove he can become the Giants’ franchise quarterback.

Chris McMonigle explains why he never doubted Dart’s commitment and why proving he is the long-term answer at quarterback is the biggest question facing the Giants this season.

Carton returns from vacation to join Big Mac for a breakdown of the New York Mets' embarrassing sweep and the New York Yankees' recent winning streak. They participate in a "blind rank" game to identify the weekend's biggest losers, covering everything from nature attacks to celebrity news. The discussion also explores Smurfette's secret history, Adam Schefter's business ties, and a wild listener story about a beach prank.
