Hour 1: The Jets Let Sam Darnold Go and It Still Haunts Them
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Fri Jan 23 2026
Description: Sam Darnold is one win from the Super Bowl, and Jets fans have no idea what to do with themselves. On one hand, they still like Sam and want to see him succeed. On the other, they can already feel what’s coming next: two straight weeks of “LOL Jets” takes if Seattle punches the ticket. The guys relive the Jets era, the “seeing ghosts” moment that became a defining label, and the decision to move on for Zach Wilson. They debate alternate history: what if the Jets kept Darnold, traded back, and built the roster right? Plus, how much credit does Sam deserve for Seattle’s run, and why this feels even more brutal than watching Saquon win with the Eagles. Also: the poll results, and which fan base actually has it worse.
