Producer Evan (Evan O'Brien), our chief Mets lunatic, is back on the podcast to give his take on the three-year commitment his team made to Andy Green to remain as their manager. Was this the right move, or should David Stearns have waited it out? We also have some takes on the other managerial commitment of the day, the Red Sox taking the interim tag of Chad Tracy. Bradfo is deep in the weeds when it comes to the entire equation as the Sox bank on the contractual commitment to propel them to postseason glory.

Today on the show, we break down Jaxson Dart’s likely season-ending injury, Jameis Winston taking over for the Giants, and Phil Simms’ insights on backup quarterbacks across the NFL. On the diamond, the Tampa Bay Rays clinch the A.L. East at Yankee Stadium, Andy Green is officially named Mets manager, Carlos Rodón reaches 1,500 strikeouts, and we debate if the Yankees could make a World Series run without Aaron Judge. Plus, we wrap up by looking ahead to the gridiron with our NFL Week 3 'guess the spread.'

We open with Jaxson Dart's likely season-ending injury and Jameis Winston taking over—much to Gio's frustration after Winston chose a podcast over film study. Jerry drops his first update featuring John Harbaugh on Winston, the Rays clinch the A.L. East at Yankee Stadium, and Andy Green officially becomes manager of the Mets. We close the hour taking calls on Winston stepping in and Gio's complete lack of faith in him.

Gio recalls Phil Simms praising Joe Milton, leading into calls from Giants fans split between despair and faith in the Harbaugh-Jameis duo. Jerry’s update calls out Mike Francesa’s wrong take on Dart’s injury, followed by John Harbaugh on losing starting QBs, the Rays clinching the A.L. East over the Yankees, and Max Fried prepping for the playoffs. We wrap up with a note from Theo Von’s podcast and Boomer on Adam Vinatieri’s Guinness World Record.

We continue breaking down Jaxson Dart’s injury and its impact on the Giants, plus a caller blaming the surge in injuries on a lack of preseason play. Jerry’s update covers John Harbaugh on losing a starting quarterback, Tom Brady’s glitchy interview with Colin Cowherd, the audio of the Rays clinching the A.L. East at Yankee Stadium, and Carlos Rodón hitting 1,500 career strikeouts. We wrap up with an upcoming Norm Macdonald documentary on Netflix and Gio highlighting competitive eater Beard Meats Food.
