BT & Sal are joined by former New York Rangers legend Henrik Lundqvist and Dr. Jonathan Salik to raise urgent awareness about Recurrent Pericarditis (RP), a chronic and often misdiagnosed heart disease. Lundqvist details how RP forced his retirement following open-heart surgery, calling the condition a major "life disrupted." The King also weighs in on the current Rangers squad, addressing their embarrassing zero-goal start at home and reflecting on the frustration of his own career, where he often carried deficient offensive teams. The hosts conclude by placing Lundqvist on New York's "Mount Rushmore of Heartbreak," alongside greats like Patrick Ewing and Don Mattingly—legends revered for their greatness but lacking a championship ring.

BT & Sal dive into the "DH or Done" dilemma surrounding Pete Alonso's free agency, arguing that the Mets cannot let the star first baseman hold their crucial offseason hostage. Sal insists the Mets must offer Alonso a "perfect" deal—a long-term contract (he suggests 5 years, $150M) only if he agrees to transition immediately to a Designated Hitter role to improve the team's defense. Tierney agrees he needs to be an affordable DH, but suspects Alonso's pride in playing first base will lead him to walk away for less money elsewhere. They both conclude that if Alonso and his agent, Scott Boras, drag the process out or refuse the DH mandate, the Mets must move on immediately to aggressively build a World Series-caliber roster To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Who would have predicted that in the beginning of November, neither the Jets or Rangers would have a single win at home AND that Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams would no longer be on the Jets?

BT & Sal are stunned as breaking news hits the air: The New York Jets have traded star cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts for a massive haul, including two first-round draft picks! The hosts are immediately joined by NFL Insider Brian Baldinger to break down the blockbuster deal. BT views it as a "bold" and needed move that shows the new front office has a "clue" and direction, while Baldi discusses Gardner's perceived overrated play and lack of recent turnovers. The trio debates the implications for the Jets' full rebuild, questioning if players like Breece Hall are now on the trade block and if the move will finally "expedite the process" of changing the franchise's losing culture. They also briefly touch on the Giants' "embarrassing" defensive performance against the 49ers.

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Giants' leadership, reacting to reports that ownership might split the ticket and keep either Brian Daboll or Joe Schoen. The hosts vehemently argue that both have failed and deserve to be fired, calling a split decision an "epic disaster." Sal makes the case that if he had to keep one, it would be Daboll due to his work in developing quarterback Jaxson Dart, but questions why Schoen is reportedly favored by ownership despite the team's disastrous record, especially against NFC East rivals. The debate escalates as they discuss the danger of letting Schoen make trade deadline moves and demand that ownership make a decisive move now to start a true culture reset.

The clock’s ticking to 4 PM. No buzz, no moves — yet. Will the Jets shock the league and move Breece Hall? The Giants found their guy in Jaxson Dart. Can the Jets do the same?

BT & Sal declare the Schoen and Daboll era is unequivocally over after the Giants' latest pathetic loss at home to the depleted 49ers. Despite Jaxson Dart's strong performance, the team is now 2-7 for the third straight year, proving the regime's failure goes far beyond the quarterback position. The hosts blast the horrific play calling, abysmal defensive effort (especially stopping the run), and the disengaged players who are reportedly quitting on plays—a sign of a broken culture. They argue that the marriage of Dart and Daboll is not worth saving, demanding the firing of both Shane and Daboll immediately before they "run Dart into the ground" out of desperation. The conversation concludes with a list of the franchise's failings: they don't draft well, don't develop well, and don't coach well.

The Giants fall again — and this time, their own stadium sounded like a Niners home game. Boomer says the winds of change are blowing in Big Blue, and Brian Daboll’s future might be caught in the storm. The rookie QB’s playing reckless, Jayden Daniels is likely done for the season, and Boomer’s throwing out Lane Kiffin for the Giants — while Gio wants him in Gang Green.

BT & Sal launch a blistering attack on the Mets and Yankees, arguing that despite their immense wealth, neither team is truly committed to going "all-in" like the Los Angeles Dodgers. They dissect how New York has consistently lost out on premier superstars, from Freddie Freeman to Ohtani and Yamamoto, and how they often settle for a "nice plan B" instead of adding talent on top of talent. The hosts demand both teams flex their financial muscle this offseason for names like Skubal and Kyle Tucker, declaring that competing with the Dodgers requires a mentality of zero restrictions. Sal and BT debate the risk of trading top pitching prospects like McClain and Schlittler to achieve immediate World Series contention, emphasizing that anything less than total commitment is unacceptable for New York.

BT & Sal interview global star Sydney Sweeney about her intense new film, "Christy," based on the life of professional boxer Christy Martin. Sweeney dishes on the extreme physical transformation, revealing she gained 35 pounds of muscle through rigorous training and consuming excessive calories—a process she found tougher than losing the weight! She shocks the hosts by admitting the fight scenes involved real contact, leading to bloody noses and even a concussion. Sweeney also talks about her surprisingly grounded life in Idaho (living in her great-grandma's house!) and her background as a combat sports athlete before Euphoria blocked her path to a black belt. Plus, she gives an update on the end of Euphoria and teases her next big horror project.

BT & Sal lay into the Giants after their latest loss to the Eagles, leaving them at a disastrous 2-6 record for the third straight year under Brian Daboll. Despite the excitement around rookie QB Jaxson Dart, the hosts argue the same pattern of losing, poor defense, and inexcusable game management (like coughing up the Cowboys and Broncos games) proves the regime is failing. They call out the top-ten payroll and high-priced defensive stars for their inability to stop the run (giving up 276 yards!), slam Defensive Coordinator Shane Bowen, and debate whether Daboll's job is safe even with Dart's promise, asking: "Why is their record the same that it's been for the last nine seasons?"
