NY Jets Off-Season Signing and Trades. As stated last week, the NY JETS signed free agent WR Mike Williams and did not waste the opportunity to do so. Next on the agenda, hopefully will be Jadeveon Clowney as a possible signing to make up for the loss of Bryce Huff to fortify the defense.

Shohei Ohtani finally breaks his silence on the betting allegations involving his now former interpreter. Yet even with him making a statement, no questions were actually answered.

And finally, the latest in the ongoing commentary concerning the declining quality of life in NYC by the day! This week an interview with Juniors Restaurant owner took place in the New York Post. The issues brought up, Mike Steph will tackle.

NY Jets Off-Season Signing and Trades. NY Mets being patient with Pete Alonso re-signing and Kodai Senga injury setback. NY Knicks have found their savior in Jalen Brunson, who while leading them to the playoffs, is making Knicks' history. The NBA has a problem on their hands as the old guard are winding down their careers, no attention is being paid or spotlighted to the young talent that will be depended on to keep the machine going. LeBron James and Steph Curry can't continue to be depended on when the league should be highlighting the young stars such as Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Jayson Tatum along with teams such as OKC Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, Denver Nuggets amongst others.

All that and more on a jam packed edition of the world renowned, hardly ever listened to "Salty Thoughts of Mike Steph Podcast". Enjoy!!

On this edition of the world renowned, hardly ever listened podcast, Mike Steph has alot to get off his chest. This week is sports free, so he delves into NYC politics and how the working class is getting screwed over with the unpopular policies that have been implemented over the recent years.

NYC Congestion Pricing is a controversial policy that has past in Albany and its intent is to garner funding for MTA projects to help public transportation achieve the upgrades that have been desperately needed. But at what cost? Is it really wise to squeeze every penny out of the life blood of the city? Mike Steph speaks in-depth about the potential fallout.

Also discussed is the Netflix mini series "Griselda" and whether or not its worth the time. Included is what Mike Steph felt was the best part of the whole series.

And finally, President Biden was in the headlines this past week for what most thought was a controversial interview with a black southern family with Fried Chicken and Fries, unwittingly playing into the complaints that many have had with most thinking that him and the democratic party as a whole have taken the black community for granted over the years and especially during this latest election cycle.

Patrick Mahomes led his team back from a 10 pt deficit to claim his 3rd SB MVP in 4 yrs and to officially stamp the Chiefs as a dynasty. Will they be able to three-peat? Did the Chiefs win or did the 49ers lose it. Did Kyle Shanahan cost his team the win? Will he able to ever win the Big One?

On this Sprinkle of Salt edition of the Salty Thoughts of Mike Steph Podcast, Mike Steph wants to know the answer to a simple question? WHY?!

Cm Punk return has been cut short temporarily due to an injury suffered at this past weekend's Royal Rumble. With everything that has happened over the last year involving him, he will fall short of his dream to be the "MAIN

EVENT" at Wrestlemania yet again. Mike Steph asks why it seems that this dream will seemingly be on hold and perhaps never attained.

The NY J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets are making news once again off the field. In a scathing article released this week, it chronicles the ineptitude that permeated thru the franchise this year. How the lofty expectations were downsized, and how this was more of a disaster than originally thought. Once again, Mike Steph wonders WHY?! does this franchise always manages to screw up and get it wrong every single time.

Enjoy!

The Super Bowl 58 matchup is set. The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will meet again in the big game after their respectives wins over the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions.

On this edition of the world renowned, hardly ever listened to, hardly ever viewed podcast, Mike Steph will discuss the following:

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs return to the super bowl for the 2nd consecutive year in defense of their championship by defeating the Ravens in Baltimore. They displayed the DNA of a champion while unfortunately the Lamar Jackson led Ravens unraveled and became undisciplined at the worst times. Is this the biggest loss of Jackson's career?

The Detroit Lions had a 24-7 lead midway thru the 3rd quarter over the Niners. And then it unraveled. Did Dan Campbell cost them a victory with his overaggressive playcalling? Did the Lions choke away an super bowl opportunity? Did Brock Purdy prove to the detractors his worth? Are the Lions ever going to get back to this position in the near future?

The #KissOfSteph is back in effect. Mike Steph will divulge how his predictions always end up coming so close yet so far! Oy Vey!

All that and more! Enjoy!

On this edition of the world renowned, hardly ever watched and listened to podcast, Mike Steph will discuss the following:

The Lions have advance first NFC Championship game in over 30 yrs on the arm of Jared Goff and the bravado of HC Dan Campbell. Can they continue this wildly exciting ride all the way to the #Superbowl ?

The Chiefs have made it to their 6th consecutive AFC Championship game, by defeating the Buffalo Bills yet again. They've done it differently than they have in the past though. Will it be enough?

The 49ers barely got by the Green Bay Packers, in large part due to their QB Brock Purdy. Did they dodge a bullet or is this a hint of things to come this upcoming game?

Lamar Jackson will play in his first AFC Title game after leading his Ravens to a commanding victory over the Texans. He is the favorite in the MVP race and the fan favorite after betting on himself in the off season. Will he be able to take that next step and lead them to the promise land?

The MTA has started a pilot program, installing barriers to prevent people from accessing the tracks Mike Steph will give his views on this intiative.
