I thought fun to just for a couple of moments.

0:03.5

And we can go around the room with this too.

0:05.5

It doesn't have to be just you and I.

0:06.9

Just what are you looking for in, we even look back on 2025, but you know, as we hit 2026,

0:14.2

whether it's the Giants, the Jets, the Mets, the Yankees, whoever, I think the Knicks are clearly in the, I think, in the best shape to go

win a championship as it sits right now on December 31st. I might be able to make that case

for the Mets or the Yankees on opening day. I'm still waiting to see how they're going to fill

out their roster and what they're going to do. But I think the Knicks right now are the

closest to a championship

in this city that we do have. What do you want to see from, I mean, you're wearing a Yankee cap. Yeah. I know you're a Nick fan. I know you played for the Jets. Give me a couple of things that you want to see happen in 2026 in terms of progress. And don't just say win a championship. Like, How do you get there?

0:53.4

What do they need to do?

0:54.9

Well, starting with the Jets.

0:56.2

It all comes down to getting a quarterback.

0:57.9

We talked a little bit behind the curtain about this team not being impulsive, even though it was a very bad year with the possibility of firing Aaron Glenn. I mean, we have Beningo. We have Beningo bite, and Beningo wants his head chopped off right now. And it's just, you just don't have any stability and you don't develop a culture that way. And that's what the Jets need desperately on top of getting a quarterback. And really trying to get into the best out of their young talent. It's frustrating because I think Bruce Hall is a star. I really do. I think he's probably the most talent, one of the most talented backs in the league. And we haven't gotten the most out of him. If anything, it looks like he's ready to get out of here. And there's a chance that he may be playing in another Jersey next season. Nevertheless, man, we got to find some identity that the Jets can lean on next year where this offensively or defense either side of the

ball we need something we could put a hat on we don't have that right now so that's that's going

1:47.8

be a lot of work in the offseason for them to do that and we see what happens for the giants you

know let the kick develop the kid it's all about jackson dart he's this he's the franchise

continue to build around him hopefully Andrew Thomas that injury bug can get behind him, and he can play a full season and anchor that line. And I think defensively, I was probably, I thought the Giants front seven was probably one of the best in the league start to start the season. That fell apart on Dexon Lawrence's health. It had some injuries. But they got to get back to playing giant football, and that starts with the defense. Hopefully that can happen. And they get a head coach. They can believe it, nevertheless. I don't know who that is. We talked about a possibility of Mike McCarthy or Brian Flores. Who knows what happens with Belichick, if that's even an option. But they got to get a head coach. And I thought you've made a good point. You don't want a young guy. You want a guy who's been there, done that, who knows who's run an operation, right, and get back to being a standard that the Giants have been for, you know, prior to everything that's kind of transpired with them. Nevertheless, man, as far as the Yankees, I want to see them getting back to being

big brother, you know, losing to the Blue Jays hurt my heart. Didn't feel good. It felt like

watching the end of that series, it felt like the Blue Jets felt like they arrived. They finally got
