Episode Notes

The clip is everywhere: Aaron Glenn at the Combine looking like he’s “resting his eyes” on national TV. The show opens by defending how brutally boring the Combine is, then gets real about what matters in 2026, optics. For a Jets coach already under a microscope, that moment turns into instant Jets lore, and the crew debates whether he will ever shake it once the season starts. Then the calls flood in and the Jets embarrassment fatigue is loud. Connor Green speaks for the fan base that is tired of becoming a weekly meme, while callers argue whether this is harmless, unacceptable, or a sign of bigger problems. The conversation also touches the fallout of the Jermaine Johnson trade and why the Jets absolutely have to hit on their premium draft picks. From there it’s back to the Giants: draft smoke, Kayvon Thibodeaux trade chatter, and the larger question of who is actually safe as Big Blue reshapes the roster. The show also digs into the anxiety of losing free agents and how quickly “cap savings” turns into desperation when you still need starters. And yes, the Mets take over a chunk of the hour too. Carlos Mendoza names Freddie Peralta the Opening Day starter, which sparks the debate Mets fans did not want: should the homegrown phenom Nolan McLean have gotten the honor, especially with Paul Skenes lined up on the other side? The crew breaks down why the Peralta choice feels like a recruitment pitch for an impending free agent, why fans wanted the electric McLean vs. Skenes matchup, and whether “your ace must start Opening Day” is a hard rule or just a tradition.
