Description: Marc "Moose" Malusis is in for BT & Sal and he's taking no prisoners! Moose delivers a blistering critique of Hal Steinbrenner’s "passive" leadership, arguing the Yankees have officially surrendered their "Evil Empire" throne to the aggressive Dodgers. He blasts the front office for letting Edwin Diaz slip away and using injuries as a crutch for a fundamentally flawed roster. Over in Queens, Moose torches David Stearns for the Pete Alonso exit to Baltimore, labeling it a "Milwaukee-style downgrade" for a franchise that used to think big. From the Rangers' scoring drought and Chris Drury’s mismanagement to the Giannis-to-the-Knicks rumors, Moose covers it all with zero filter. Plus, don't miss Moose’s personal "Happy Wife, Happy Life" survival story—cleaning up after a house full of sick kids—and the "jaw-dropping" secret behind his massive weight loss. To wrap it up, betting insider Nick Kostos stops by to draft the definitive Christmas playlist and break down a high-stakes Thursday Night Football clash!
