| 0:00.0 | So a very, very busy day. Now, as far as the Giants are concerned, when the clock strikes noon, |
| 0:06.1 | what do you think and what do you want John Harbaugh's crew to do in a dress first? |
| 0:10.8 | There was a lot that needs to get done from the giant standpoint because of Jermaine Illuminaure, |
| 0:16.7 | who is going to be a free agent. They have to figure out what they're doing, what their starting linebacker position. The Tremaine Edmunds thing, which everybody has been talking about, that's a trade that could have happened already. It has not come to fruition yet. So there are a bunch of linebackers out there, Anzolone, who we talked about last week. He's won Devin Bush, a Michigan kid, and Kobe Dean, who's down in Philadelphia. |
| 0:40.0 | So the starting linebacker. And then, honestly, I'm thinking about cornerback and wide receiver. |
| 0:46.7 | So Rick Wullen, he's free this year. He's probably expendable to the Seattle Seahawks. |
| 0:53.9 | Not because they don't want to run it back |
| 0:56.3 | after winning a Super Bowl championship, but they're selling their team. And so when you sell your |
| 1:01.5 | team, the last thing you're doing is throwing a whole bunch of new big contracts, big, you know, |
| 1:06.1 | read them as liabilities onto their cap sheet as you try to sell the organization for $7 billion or whatever it is. So he's going to be free. He's a target probably for the Jets as well. But cornerback, wide receiver, Rahit Shaheed, who he talked about. The problem with the Giants is I can't pick one. I think there's the obvious is linebacker, but there's so many different moves that they need to show up in free agency. So I think it's going to be multiple that we see get done in the next day or so. Let's get your calls 888-808-101-19. Matt's in Brick, New Jersey. Good morning, Matt. Tell us, what's up? Best Day in the world. What's up, man? Yeah's go. I love Sticky Barber. Evan, I love you guys. Thank you, man. The reason is the best day in the world is I get to listen to Evan, talk about the next general manager and the next head coach of the Jets every year. They've got a new quarterback or a new safety cornerback, and they're going to win the Super Bowl playoff game. |
| 2:02.9 | You're talking about a defense that had no interceptions all season. |
| 2:06.5 | One player is not going to change that. |
| 2:08.9 | At least you might get an interception accidentally this year. |
| 2:13.3 | They get one or two. |
| 2:14.4 | Okay. |
| 2:14.6 | Matt, Matt, let me. |
| 2:15.6 | It's my favorite day to you. |
| 2:16.6 | Matt, Matt, was it? My favorite day to year. Matt, Matt, |
| 2:18.6 | was it? |
| 2:19.4 | Okay. |
| 2:20.1 | Was it a smart move for the Jets to trade from Inka Fitzpatrick yesterday? I mean, absolutely. Who wouldn't take him? Okay. Then why are you giving me crap? What do you want me to say? No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not, but I love it. Listen, I love your enthusiasm. I think the best Jack |
| 2:34.3 | fan in the world. But, brother, this is my favorite day of year. That's what I'm not, I'm not, but I love it. Listen, I love your enthusiasm. I think you're the best Jeff fan in the world. But, brother, this is my favorite day of year. That's why you went to work today, right? Yes. Yeah, but you couldn't miss it. You got to have some kind of positivity and excitement. You know, it's so funny, I received this very long email over the weekend, and it's sort of related to what that guy said. He's like, Evan, you're a Mets fan and a Jets fan, but there's such a difference in some of the things you say. Like with the Mets, you're calmer. You're more rational. Well, it's because it's the nature of the sport. Is that what it is? It's 162 games. It's like a long grind-out. I can't get too excited about that one or two losses in a row. So we'll see how it plays out. In football, it's like, damn it, we lost to them again. Yeah. We suck. We're going to miss the playoffs. You know what it is? I think that's definitely a big part of it. |
