The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle uncover a stunning Giants stat that helps explain why Eli Manning’s Hall of Fame case remains so heavily debated. Despite two legendary Super Bowl runs and two Super Bowl MVP awards, the Giants produced surprisingly few double-digit-win seasons during the Eli era.

Craig Carton and Big Mac put Rutgers intern Joe through a series of timed challenges to test his sports and pop culture knowledge. They discuss the famous fat sandwiches of New Brunswick before Joe attempts to name famous Michaels, Beatles songs, and New York Giants quarterbacks. The group also debates New York Jets Hall of Famers and the evolution of food truck culture.

Chris McMonigle and Craig Carton break down the growing hype surrounding Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart as fans start comparing him to NFL superstars like Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes. Is the excitement justified, or are expectations getting way too high after a small sample size?

The guys debate Dart’s rushing ability, his potential as a dual-threat quarterback, whether the Giants should use him in short-yardage situations, and why Lamar Jackson has become one of the NFL’s best pocket passers. Plus, Craig and Big Mac get into some hilarious food debates, cheesesteaks, and take your calls on WFAN.

Craig challenges Giants fans to temper their expectations, arguing that even an elite head coach can only do so much. Chris McMonigle fires back, explaining why the combination of Harbaugh and Jaxson Dart could finally give the Giants the two most important pieces of a winning franchise.

Big Mac and the group evaluate Giancarlo Stanton’s career trajectory and whether persistent injuries will prevent the slugger from reaching the Hall of Fame. They also reminisce about legendary athletes who wore the number 44 and promote a charity podcast event featuring Lil Wayne.

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.
