Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle
Published On: Tue Jan 13 2026
Description: The Carton Show goes everywhere in this unforgettable segment as Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle juggle NFL coaching chaos, baseball money madness, and classic Carton off-the-rails debates. The guys react to Mike Tomlin officially stepping away in Pittsburgh, break down the pros and cons of John Harbaugh for the Giants, and compare frustrated Giants fans to Yankees and Steelers fans fed up with “only” consistent winning. The conversation then shifts to baseball’s financial insanity, as Craig and C-Mac debate whether the Mets should really pay Kyle Tucker $50 million per year, how analytics like OPS+ clash with old-school stats, and why modern contracts make longtime fans feel like the world has gone sideways.
