Summary

Sports Radio Personality Craig Carton joins Sid to talk about the start of the college basketball tournament, joking that many fans only care once brackets are due and can’t name players. Sid and Craig discuss how NIL and the transfer portal have reduced loyalty and made upsets less common, reminisce about playing pickup basketball together, and debate tournament logistics—especially St. John’s being sent to play in San Diego despite being in an Eastern bracket—while noting St. John’s fans’ frustration with their seeding and draw. The conversation shifts to the New York Jets, where Carton criticizes the decision to bring back Geno Smith despite acknowledging his recent resurgence, while praising the Jets’ offseason otherwise.
