Leonard Drops a Bomb: Schoen and Daboll Not on the...

2025/09/24

Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News delivered fiery insight into the New York Giants' decision to bench Russell Wilson for rookie Jaxson Dart, revealing a deep-seated divide between Head Coach Brian Daboll and the front office/ownership. According to Leonard, Daboll, who is firmly on the hot seat at 0-3, has wanted to play Dart from the start and is now making a desperation move to save his job, viewing Dart as his "guy" to ride or die with. This unilateral decision, made against the backdrop of

The Daboll Deception: Why Won't He Say WHY?

2025/09/24

Sal and BT were thoroughly unimpressed with Brian Daboll's press conference regarding the switch from Russell Wilson to rookie Jaxson Dart, accusing the head coach of hiding the real reason behind the move. Daboll repeatedly stated, "It's my decision" and insisted on keeping the details of his conversations with the quarterbacks "private," which the hosts interpreted as a clear sign of evasiveness and a lack of organizational accountability. They believe the change was forced by Wilson's poor play

2025/09/24

BT and Sal's weekly "Three Random Questions" (3RQ) segment was packed with heated debate, focusing on three diverse topics. The discussion first ignited over the appropriate reaction if you were Devonta Smith and saw a security guard aggressively checking out your girlfriend on the sidelines, leading to a debate on common courtesy and "game" when catching a quick glance. Next, the hosts tackled survivor pool strategy: if you have multiple entries, should you pick the same team or different teams,

Stat Monster Judge Battles Historic Cal Raleigh for MVP

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata ·

2025/09/24

Sal and BT dove headfirst into the heated American League MVP debate, pitting the Yankees' Aaron Judge against the Mariners' Cal Raleigh. Sal argued passionately for Raleigh, asserting he is the Most Valuable Player due to his historic 58 home runs as a catcher and his impact in leading the Mariners to a division title after a 24-year drought; Sal claimed the Yankees would still be a playoff team without Judge. BT countered by focusing on the superior overall numbers, citing Judge's overwhelming

2025/09/24

Sal and BT dissected the Mets' massive comeback win, a game that saw them rally from a 6-1 deficit against the Cubs. BT was energized, declaring that the dramatic victory, highlighted by home runs from Nimmo and Alvarez, has secured the Mets' spot in the playoffs. In fiery contrast, Sal remained utterly unfooled, pointing out that the team's continuous issues—awful starting pitching, sloppy defense, and heavy reliance on the bullpen—mean the season is still an "epic failure" and they're just barely

Brandon Tierney & Sal Licata ·

2025/09/24

BT and Sal are fired up by the Yankees' suddenly real chance to snatch the AL East division title from the Blue Jays in the final week of the season. Given the Yankees' surprising offensive power—with eight players sporting an OPS over .800—Sal believes if the Yankees win tonight and the Blue Jays lose, the shift in momentum could be decisive. They discuss the remaining games and the scenarios needed for a division win, with BT stressing that any record worse than 4-1 for the Yankees would mean they

2025/09/24

BT and Sal put aside their usual criticisms to acknowledge the unrivaled success of the Yankees franchise, especially after clinching yet another playoff spot. They challenged any fan to name a better franchise they'd rather switch places with, highlighting the Yankees' near-guaranteed annual postseason berths as an achievement few teams can match. Sal pointed to the Mets' struggles this year, despite a massive payroll, as a prime example of how difficult sustained success is, arguing that the

BT and Sal celebrated the Yankees' routine return to the postseason, acknowledging it's an accomplishment that's often taken for granted in New York. Despite losing Gerrit Cole and Juan Soto, and overcoming early-season struggles like Devin Williams' high ERA, the team pivoted successfully with players like Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, and a stellar bullpen rebuilt at the deadline. The hosts agreed that while the Yankees are held to an impossibly high standard and have flaws, their consistent ability to

2025/09/24

Sal and BT furiously dissected the Giants' sudden decision to bench Russell Wilson for rookie QB Jaxson Dart, a move they believe is driven by panic and self-preservation from Brian Daboll rather than a sound plan. The hosts argued that throwing Dart into the 0-3 disaster risks "ruining" the franchise quarterback, a reckless move contrasted with their grim assessment of the Mets' playoff hopes, which Sal declared are a "dead team walking" due to a complete lack of accountability and "zombie-like"

2025/09/24

Sal and BT furiously debated the Giants' potential, hasty decision to bench Russell Wilson for rookie QB Jaxson Dart after an 0-3 start, suspecting the move is driven by panic and self-preservation rather than a disciplined plan. Sal argued that benching Wilson, who had a historic 450-yard game just a week prior, is an emotional, unsound decision, especially for an organization that lacks consistency and identity under Brian Daboll. BT agreed that the move is too early and likely owner-driven to

Hour 2: Mets On Life Support: BT Still Believes?!

2025/09/24

Sal and BT debate the Mets' slim playoff chances with only six games left, with Sal declaring the team a "dead team walking" due to months of poor play, mental mistakes, and a lack of accountability from management and players alike. Sal is frustrated by the team's robotic, "just got to win" messaging and firmly believes they won't go the minimum four-and-two required to make it. Conversely, BT holds onto a "flimsy" hope, suggesting the Mets are scripted for the "hard way in," though he concedes

Sal and BT's discussion on the Giants' QB situation was upended by the breaking news that rookie Jaxson Dart will start in Week 4, a move they vehemently argued against as a "huge mistake." Before the news broke, they called for patience, advocating to stick with the veterans (Wilson or Winston) to protect the young QB, but the decision suggests the Giants are succumbing to public pressure and organizational panic after an 0-3 start. NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joined to give his take, having

In their "Call of the Day," BT and Sal dissected the Giants' decision to start Jaxson Dart in Week 4, a move they both agree is exciting for the fans but potentially a mistake for the organization. The hosts were momentarily stunned by a caller who expressed shock at agreeing with both of them on the controversial nature of the decision. Sal argued that putting Dart into a floundering, O-and-3 situation with an unproven system is not the right spot for him to succeed. Meanwhile, the conversation

In a rare moment of on-air alignment, a caller named Randy from Brooklyn had to pull over his car, utterly shocked to find himself in total agreement with both Brendan Tierney and Sal Licata. The caller's main point, which echoed the hosts' sentiment, centered on the excitement surrounding the Giants' new quarterback, Jaxson Dart, and the need for patience from the fanbase as the team enters a period of intense scrutiny and development. He framed the situation as "the most exciting thing" to happen

NFL Insider Brian Baldinger joined BT and Sal to react to the breaking news of rookie Jaxson Dart being named the Giants' starting quarterback for Week 4, a move Baldinger had been advocating for much earlier. Baldinger passionately argued that the previous quarterback was leaving "winnable games on the field" with "non-competitive" throws, making the change a necessary move to inject life into the stagnant, predictable offense. He cited Dart's extensive experience and "fearless" play in tough SEC

2025/09/24

Sal and BT had breaking news as Adam Schefter reported that rookie Jaxson Dart will be the Giants' starting quarterback for Week 4 against the Chargers, a move Sal sees as an acceleration driven by the team's 0-3 start and fan pressure, not a perfectly planned transition. While acknowledging the instant "infusion of energy" and excitement among the fanbase, Sal is highly skeptical of the timing, fearing the struggling organization is "ruining" the rookie by throwing him into a difficult situation

The trio clashes over the durability and future of quarterbacks, specifically whether Russell Wilson will play more games than the concussed Justin Fields in 2025. The discussion turns to the NBA, where they debate if the media will hold off calling Karl-Anthony Towns "soft" for a full month into the new

Sal and BT debated the New York Giants' impending quarterback decision following a difficult start to the season, with Sal adamantly declaring that Jameis Winston should not be an option to replace Russell Wilson. Sal insisted the team must transition directly to rookie Jaxson Dart, bypassing Winston, arguing that plugging in the veteran is a sign of desperation that will ultimately fail the team. BT agreed with the urgency of a change but conceded that the Giants might temporarily turn to Winston

Sal and BT tore into the Mets as the team faces its final six games while sitting outside of a playoff spot, questioning how a team with this much talent could be this bad. Sal refused to call it a "collapse," arguing that they've been playing poor baseball for too long, but he has zero faith they'll go at least 4-2 to clinch a spot. BT shared Sal's frustration, noting that the team's loss of confidence has led to a torrent of sloppy, fundamentally unsound play and "zombie-like" post-game reactions

2025/09/24

BT and Sal ignited a debate over the Yankees' long-shot but still mathematically possible chance at winning the AL East, arguing that the Blue Jays are far from a guaranteed winner. Sal emphasized that given the Yankees' soft closing schedule, a 6-0 or 5-1 finish is a "very realistic" possibility, which—coupled with a modest collapse by Toronto—could swing the division title. The hosts declared that the Yankees must play with urgency and force the Blue Jays to "earn" the crown, setting up a
