The beginning of NFL training camp always brings optimism, but New York football fans know exactly how dangerous optimism can be.

Will and LeeJay revisit the Giants and Jets teams that entered a season surrounded by major expectations. From Aaron Rodgers’ four-play Jets debut and Vinny Testaverde’s devastating 1999 injury to Plaxico Burress derailing the 2008 Giants and the collapse of Ben McAdoo’s 2017 team, which seasons lived up to the hype, and which ones completely fell apart?

The guys also react to LeBron James joining the Philadelphia 76ers, debate whether the Mets should seriously consider trading Francisco Lindor, a quick discussion about whether this is the worst Mets season they have ever experienced, and look back at what ESPN and SportsCenter used to mean to sports fans.

Plus: LeeJay’s review of The Odyssey, Will’s visit to Tropicana Field, expensive airline seats, clueless airport passengers and the latest proof that flying has become unnecessarily complicated.
