2025/10/17

BT & Sal torch the New York Jets, labeling them a "bottom-of-the-barrel" franchise whose organizational dysfunction destroys every participant—from young QBs to established veterans like Aaron Rodgers and coaches like Todd Bowles. They point to the irony of former Jets failures (Flacco, Mangini, etc.) succeeding after leaving.

BT & Sal dissect the alarming shift in Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn's public persona, arguing his increasingly "sensitive and defensive" responses to media questions—like being reluctant to throw deep because "you guys are going to complain"—shows he's "coaching scared" and overwhelmed by the New York market's noise.

BT and Sal tear into the Yankees' year-end press conferences, noting Brian Cashman's uncharacteristically "tired" and uncombative demeanor, suggesting he's worn out by the long run of disappointment.

BT and Sal tear into Aaron Glenn for his "terrifying" and "ridiculous" comments suggesting he's worried about media reaction if the Jets throw deep and get intercepted. The hosts debate whether the new head coach is "insecure" or just "sensitive" and defensive because he's 0-6 and "getting bludgeoned." They argue that his transparency, a former appealing trait, has become a massive liability, proving he's overwhelmed and learning on the fly how to handle New York's pressure. The core problem: Glenn
