The Giants somehow escaped with a 27-27 tie against the Commanders, the Jets finally returned to the win column, and the Yankees' season ended in a disappointing playoff sweep. There's plenty for New York sports fans to argue about this week.

LeeJay returns with plenty to say about the Jets' 17-12 win over Cleveland. He pushes back against fans and analysts dismissing the victory, defends Aaron Glenn against calls for his firing, and questions whether the offense can improve enough to compete with New England.

Will and LeeJay break down one of the strangest finishes you'll see in an NFL game. How much blame does Jayden Daniels deserve for Washington's late-game clock-management disaster? And despite their 3-1-1 record, are the Giants actually as good as their record suggests?

Later, Larry joins Will for an in-depth Yankees season recap. They discuss the playoff sweep by Tampa Bay, Aaron Judge's injury, Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone's futures, the team's young talent, and what needs to change heading into 2027.

Plus, the Knicks, sports controversies, and our Mt. Rushmore of the Biggest Scapegoats in New York Sports History.

The Giants are 3–1, sitting atop the NFC East and suddenly giving Will and Erik dangerous levels of hope.

But how real is this start? We break down another Giants win, the Jameis Winston roller coaster, Arvell Reese’s breakout performance, Kayvon Thibodeaux’s disappearing act and whether this team could actually be headed toward meaningful football later this season.

Then LeeJay joins us, and the mood changes quickly.

After an ugly Jets loss to Chicago, LeeJay unloads on the offense, Frank Reich’s play-calling, Geno Smith, the penalties, the players and the idea that Jets fans should be searching for “silver linings.” According to LeeJay, the Jets might have only two games left to save their season.

Plus: why NFL defenders seem to be punching at the football more than ever, what’s happening with the Chargers, the Knicks/KAT contract situation and whether NIL money is starting to influence who actually plays in college football.

It’s another week of completely normal New York sports!

The Giants are 2-1, but life without Jaxson Dart is already raising some big questions.

Will and Erik break down the Giants’ ugly win, Jameis Winston’s struggles, the trade for J.J. McCarthy and why adding another young quarterback isn’t necessarily a threat to Dart. Plus: Najee Harris’ emergence, a suddenly reliable Giants special teams unit and the major concern facing the defense after losing Brian Burns.

Then it’s onto the Jets, who showed fight again but still couldn’t finish the job. Is this actually a better football team despite the losses? And with Aaron Glenn now calling the defense, how much responsibility falls on him for a unit that continues to struggle?

Around the NFL, the guys discuss the wave of injuries across the league, some surprising 0-3 starts and a Cowboys defense that might not be quite as improved as advertised.

Finally, the frustration boils over with the Mets. Erik weighs in on the decision to keep Andy Green, the latest front-office changes and David Stearns’ roster-building philosophy. And after Pete Alonso’s huge season away from Queens, there’s no avoiding the question: how badly did the Mets get that decision wrong?

A brutal week for New York sports sends Will and LeeJay off script.

Jaxson Dart’s injury suddenly changes the Giants’ season — and maybe even the conversation about their future at quarterback. Then LeeJay breaks down how the Jets blew a 17-7 fourth-quarter lead and why putting the entire loss on Aaron Glenn misses the bigger picture.

The Mets take over the second half of the show after Pete Alonso’s emotional return to Citi Field. We get into Steve Cohen’s comments, David Stearns’ future and the surprise decision to give Andy Green a three-year deal.

Plus: NFL quick hits, an unbelievable HYROX story, an Alamo Drafthouse tipping rant, and our Mt. Rushmore of the most painful departures in New York sports history.

For once, everybody is happy.

The Jets and Giants both open the season with wins, giving New York football fans something they haven't had much of lately: optimism.

We break down the Jets' win over Tennessee, Breece Hall's big day, what Geno Smith gave the offense and why LeeJay refuses to overreact after one game. Then we turn to the Giants, where Jackson Dart looked comfortable, the running game controlled the night and the entire team suddenly looked tougher, smarter and more organized. Erik comes away especially encouraged by the Giants finally looking like a team with a clear identity under its head coach, although 10 penalties and concerns in the secondary give us plenty to argue about.

Around the NFL, we ask whether Week 1 changed the way we should look at some supposedly impossible matchups, LeeJay wonders how much longer Justin Herbert gets the benefit of the doubt, and Will makes the case that the Arch Manning hype may have gotten ahead of the actual player.

Plus: Regents exam trauma, what schools should actually teach, a little Nets and Mets talk, and our Mt. Rushmore of stadium anthems.

It’s our third annual NFL Preview!

Will, LeeJay and Erik are back together to break down the 2026 season, starting with one prediction each that they’re willing to put their names on — including Will jumping right back onto the Buffalo Bills bandwagon and predicting Josh Allen finally reaches the Super Bowl.

Then it’s a Giants and Jets State of the Union: what would make each season a success, realistic ceilings, disaster scenarios, the Jets tanking debate, Jackson Dart’s future and whether John Harbaugh can really change the Giants.

From there, the guys debate whether the Chiefs are still automatic contenders, whether the Texans and Jaguars have reached prove-it time with C.J. Stroud and Trevor Lawrence, Aaron Rodgers’ last ride, Baltimore’s new era and which teams actually belong in the playoff and Super Bowl conversation.

Plus: division winners, playoff picks, Super Bowl predictions, bold takes that may age horribly and a Giants first-round draft-pick memory game that goes off the rails.

LeeJay also shares a personal message about September 11 and his search for information about his friend Sasha, who he believes saved his life that day.

The Dummies are back for Episode 111, and this time it's another Around the Horn episode to end the summer schedule.

Francisco Alvarez's latest slump has everyone suddenly asking questions Will has been asking for two years. Is Alvarez actually part of the future?

Erik explains why watching Buford High School football on ESPN2 felt more like an NFL broadcast, LeeJay wonders why Yankees fans are so desperate for Giancarlo Stanton to return, and the guys revisit the real mistake behind losing Pete Alonso.

Plus: the latest WNBA controversy, the absolutely bizarre story surrounding 49ers owner Jed York, and we end with a game naming the world's most addicting things.

Apparently, we pissed off Mets Instagram.

After our Jefry Yan Reel sparked way more debate than we expected — including people questioning whether we're even Mets fans — Will, LeeJay and Erik jumped back on the microphones for an emergency rebuttal.

LeeJay explains what he actually dislikes about Yan celebrating every strikeout. Erik, who has watched Yan pitch before and doesn't mind the antics nearly as much, explains why Mets fans should probably get used to it. Then the conversation becomes something much bigger: Who gets to decide what being a “real fan” looks like?

We get into criticizing a team you've supported for decades, spending money on a bad product, the danger of late-season false hope, whether this Mets run could influence future roster decisions, and why fandom doesn't require wearing rose-colored glasses.

Three Mets fans. Different opinions. Plenty of profanity.

Welcome to the rebuttal.
