Summary

In a fiery segment, Sal and BT tackled the immense optimism surrounding the upcoming NFL season for both the Jets and Giants. While BT expressed a cautious optimism, praising the "buttoned-up" nature of the teams' offseasons and new leadership, Sal remained skeptical. He warned fans to temper their expectations, questioning where the winning projections are coming from for two teams that have underperformed for years. He argued that a "fresh start" or a new regime doesn't automatically translate to victories and that fans are getting ahead of themselves by predicting playoff success.

0:22.8

We get to what actually matters.

0:24.5

That's boomer and geo and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods. I'm excited for the football season as well. I do think that there needs to be a dose of reality as we get started here the day after Labor Day. Looking forward to talking all the baseball. We'll get into that as we get the push for the postseason and football season. And it seems like the giant fans think they're going to win these first couple of games. Seems like Jeff fans think things are going to be way better than they were with Aaron Rogers. Not so fast. I'm excited for the season. I don't believe in these two teams to the level that many apparently do before we even get started. There's a lot of excitement. By the way, this is one of my favorite days to be on the air. I absolutely love coming back from Labor Day. You're right. Yanks, Mets, football. It is on. It's awesome to be back. Listen, I, my excitement, and I share in a lot of the enthusiasm that a lot of the Jets and Giants fans have,

1:12.5

I don't mean when the, like, the level that has been hijacked for some, where it's just bonkers

1:17.5

in terms of expectations, which aren't realistic yet.

1:20.0

But I think what's galvanized me for both of these teams is the buttoned up nature to the off-season.

1:26.0

I think that's a starting point where now you feel a little stability.

1:30.0

From a Jets perspective, Sal, the focus wasn't on, you know, a 40-year-old quarterback coming off a rupture to kill these who transcends.

1:37.3

Who's bigger than the team, you know, in terms of Aaron Rogers.

1:40.2

And really, for both teams, the off-season conversations weren't about, all right, you know,

1:46.7

when is this guy going to get fired, which GM, which coach, and what kind of leashed

1:50.8

does Dave will have? How long is solid going to get? That, to me, is a good starting point.

1:56.7

And then obviously you start to look at the rosters and, you know, there are some questions,

2:00.4

but there's certain strengths as well. As long as the Jet and the Giant fan aren't walking around today saying we're going to the Super Bowl, we're going to win, I think enthusiasm is fine. Right. I really do. Well, yes, enthusiasm about the season starting is fine. Reality as to what these teams will be. Let's start with the Jets.

2:18.0

You mentioned them first. The excitement should be because it's a breath of fresh air, new regime. Let's see what they could do. That does not mean that they're going to win. Like, I can make a good argument. The Jets are going to go 0 and 3 out of the gate. Like, where are we getting that the Jets are good? That's what I'd like to know. What idea, like I like what Aaron Glenn has said.

2:37.2

I like what he's done.

2:38.1

I like what he's done. I like the fact that they're built with the offensive line. They have a quarterback who can't throw the football. They have a defense that's been overrated for how many years. So, like, where are we getting, the win projection total for the Jets and both not very good i don't look at the

2:52.3

schedule and say it's a favorable schedule so i think that there can be excitement and enthusiasm

2:56.7

for a new regime a new head coach a new feel just a change a pace breath of fresh air but how

3:03.3

exactly is that going to result in wins come sunday okay we we start at the Jets here. You bring them up.

3:07.7

And we'll get to the Giants of the second. Because I have reasons for both. So from a Jets perspective, if you look at what plagued the Jets for years, it was sloppiness, it was penalties. And you're right. And you said this while, like the defense was overrated in a sense. Like we come into some of these seasons saying Jets gonna be top three, top five, it never really materialized.

3:27.3

But to me, was overrated in a sense. Like we'd come into some of these seasons saying Jets are going to be top three, top five.
