Description: A major Jets controversy takes center stage as the hosts revisit a report about defensive coordinator candidate Wink Martindale and whether team owner Woody Johnson stepped in to block the hire. After Martindale publicly suggests the decision was “out of Aaron Glenn’s hands,” the debate reignites over whether the Jets misled reporters or if Glenn changed his mind behind the scenes. The discussion expands into a broader conversation about ownership influence, credibility in reporting, and why Woody Johnson’s history of interference continues to worry Jets fans. The conversation then shifts to the environment awaiting Geno Smith if he returns to the Jets, with the hosts warning that fans may already be ready to boo before he even takes a snap. They also touch on Giants ownership changes involving the Tisch family, the implications for the franchise moving forward, and how succession planning works inside NFL ownership groups. The segment wraps with baseball talk from Clay Holmes leaving Team USA to concerns that American players aren’t taking the World Baseball Classic as seriously as other countries—and whether Aaron Judge may unfairly face criticism as Team USA’s captain.
