Listen "Hour 1: No More Bubble Wrap: BT & Sal Slam Giants Fans Afraid to Play Dart!"

Episode Synopsis

BT & Sal dive into the Giants' most critical storyline: the return of QB Jaxson Dart and the interim head coaching debut of Mike Kafka. They debate whether Kafka's new role is his best chance to distinguish himself as a viable head coaching candidate and if he'll move away from the "idiotic" play-calling that exposed Dart to injury under Daboll. The hosts slam the mindset of fans who want to "put Dart in bubble wrap," arguing that playing is essential for his development and competitive spirit.

The conversation also covers the perennial optimism of some Giants fans, questioning how they can feel "close" when the team is definitively 2-9. The hosts discuss Brian Cashman's annual charity sleep-out, wondering how he handles a "dangerous world" and nighttime bathroom breaks. Finally, they look at the coaching carousel, debating if Kafka should stay on if a "big boy" like Sean McDermott or Mike McCarthy is hired, or if he should use his improved resume to find a head coaching or coordinator job elsewhere.
