Sal and BT's "Call of the Day" segment kicked off with a flaming rejection of Hof's attempt at a joke regarding a Mets' pitching lab vacancy, with Sal noting that sometimes a joke "gotta be funny to laugh." Shifting to serious sports, the Player to Watch segment featured two key mentions: Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton, who will be under pressure with a key teammate out for their game against the high-octane Saints, and Patriots QB Drake Maye, whose impressive early-season performance will face its biggest test yet in Buffalo. The call then culminated in a fiery debate on the highly anticipated Yankees vs. Blue Jays playoff series, with both hosts relishing the thought of the Yankees silencing their "chirping" rivals.
