0:00.0	The Jets turned down a bad option at quarterback, but unfortunately there are no good options at quarterback.

0:33.7	It is Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026, and I'm your host, John B from Ganggreenreneation.com. Thank you so much for making the show your first listen or first watch every day. And for making locked on the number one sports podcast network. A big shout out to you every day.

FanDuel is giving you a way to turn that energy into even bigger potential wins with a
0:58.9	college basketball parlay profit boost. Head to fanduel.com to get started. On today's show, we have
1:04.6	an eye forward to free agency. We are less than one week away from the start of the legal tampering

1:48.9	I guess it's conceivable the Jets could bring back Tyrod Taylor and give him a shot to compete for the starting job, but I think that's unlikely given Tyrod's age, given his
