Ready for a brutally honest take on New York sports? This episode tackles the early-season hysteria surrounding Juan Soto's Mets struggles, the Knicks' playoff invasion of Detroit, and the Aaron Rodgers Jets drama that has fans divided.
First up: the great Soto panic. Yankees and Mets fans are already performing Shakespeare in group chats over their new superstar's adjustment period. But while everyone's screaming "Jason Bay 2.0," let's remember that Pete Alonso has already smashed seven homers thanks partially to the Soto effect. New York loves eating its own until you win – but patience might be exactly what's needed here. Meanwhile, Yankees fans should be more concerned about their pitching woes than Soto's bat.
The Knicks faithful are preparing for war as Detroit attempts to limit their takeover of Little Caesars Arena by restricting ticket sales. Good luck with that. The Garden travels, and with Brunson back after the team found their rhythm during his absence, this squad looks dangerous. Cade Cunningham might be a certified hooper, but how will he handle 20,000 New Yorkers screaming in his face during his playoff debut?
And then there's Aaron Rodgers – the philosopher king rather than quarterback. His drama with new Jets coach Aaron Glenn reveals everything about why the team might be better off without him. As one deliriously hopeful Jets fan puts it: "I'd rather have a stable regimen, a real identity, and a no-bullshit locker room" than whatever Rodgers is selling right now.
