Listen "The Empire Strikes Out! Yankees' Injury Calamity & The End of an Era!"

Episode Synopsis

BT & Sal torch the Jets and Yankees in a four-hour inferno! They dissect Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn's alarming "sensitive and defensive" media responses, arguing his reluctance to be aggressive is a sign he's "coaching scared" and overwhelmed by the New York market. The focus then shifts to the Yankees' year-end post-mortem, which revealed a massive injury crisis (Volpe's shoulder surgery, Rodón's elbow). The hosts tear into GM Brian Cashman's uncharacteristically "tired" demeanor, debating if his long run of disappointment has finally caught up to him. They eviscerate the Yankees' culture, concluding the "dynasty era is over" because Hal Steinbrenner's silence has decimated the standard, allowing a 94-win season to end with the team getting "outclassed and mopped." Finally, they demand accountability from the front office, asking: Who's next on the chopping block after the firings of Harkey and Chapman?
