  • Shame on WFAN…

    Was a massive carton fan growing up w morning show. Since he’s came back he cow tails to the Eskin school of thought and now just talks nonsense. Funny and good when about the Mets but his arrogant “I know more and better than anyone” schitck is honestly unlistenable and pathetic. CMac been an awful sidekick just letting cartons ego walk all over him. Eat some humble pie. WFAN has sucked for years and is only getting worse. Can’t listen to nonsensical biases for 4 hrs. Muted until further notice... more

  • Awesome show but…

    Can we leave the last stop off the full show podcast? It’s brutal. The show is great otherwise. Chris makes me miss Evan. He needs to go back to overnights.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Debating Jonathan Taylor's Trade Value and the Best Catwoman
Q: If I told you the price to get Jonathan Taylor is Cam Skattebo in a second-round pick, would you do it?
The hosts say they would consider or accept the deal because Taylor is a better player, but question whether acquiring a running back would improve the Giants enough to justify the trade.
Craig Carton Dismisses Cade Klubnik as the Future Jets Quarterback
Q: Are there guys out there that I think the Jets should consider packaging some picks together for?
Carton says the Jets should explore a trade for Justin Herbert and might offer multiple first-round picks. McMonigle likes Herbert but would not pay that price.
Craig Carton Dismisses Cade Klubnik as the Future Jets Quarterback
Q: Why isn't anybody bringing up that we got a shot with Cade Klubnik?
The hosts say Klubnik did not stand out in camp and that there is little evidence he is the Jets' future quarterback. They expect the team to draft a quarterback, though they allow he may get an opportunity to play as the season falls away.
Hour 1: Giants Should Go for It Now & Yankees World Series Frustration
Q: We have our quarterback. Cade Klubnik is our quarterback. I don't know why anybody isn't bringing that up, that we got a shot with this guy.
The hosts say Klubnik did not stand out in camp or in his preseason opportunity, and expect the Jets to draft a first-round quarterback. They acknowledge he could develop into a capable player but see no current evidence that he is the franchise's future starter.
Justin Herbert Trade Debate & A Bizarre Bears Defensive Lapse
Q: Would you two guys think about it for a half a second, if this season continues for a certain team and it keeps going this way? If I'm Muji, I would call up the charges tomorrow and offer them two number ones for Justin Herbert.
Craig Carton says he would make the trade immediately, arguing Herbert has the ability to be a franchise quarterback. Chris McMonigle says he would keep Jaxson Dart rather than trade him and a first-round pick for Herbert.
