Episode Synopsis

BT and Sal ripped into Giants quarterback Russell Wilson after he posted a two-word tweet—"Mentally Tough"—following the team's abysmal season opener. Sal argued that a truly mentally tough person wouldn't need to announce it on social media, suggesting the tweet was a sign of weakness and a reaction to criticism. The hosts contrasted Wilson's self-proclaimed grit with the team's ongoing struggles, including an offensive line that has been a problem for nearly two decades. They concluded that Wilson's "corny" social media persona is out of sync with the Giants fanbase and that the team's deeper issues won't be solved by a new, but equally ineffective, quarterback.
