In this high-stakes holiday edition, Marc "Moose" Malusis pulls no punches as he surveys the wreckage of the New York sports landscape. From the "gutting" of the Mets' homegrown core and David Stearns’ controversial scorched-earth rebuild to the Jets’ desperate search for a franchise savior in Francisco Mendoza, Moose breaks down the moves that will define 2026. Between heated calls from frustrated fans and an X’s and O’s deep dive with NFL Insider Brian Baldinger, Marc also gets personal—discussing the challenges of raising kids in a sports-betting culture and the "science" behind his perfect holiday menu. Whether it’s the Rangers’ closing window or the Giants’ coaching carousel, this is the definitive year-end guide for the New York fan.

In a blistering opening segment, Marc Malusis reacts to the "gutting" of the Mets' homegrown core following the trade of Jeff McNeil to the Oakland A's. Malusis pushes back hard on the narrative that "clubhouse chemistry" was the reason for the 2025 collapse, instead pointing the finger squarely at a disastrous pitching staff and a "leaky" organization. As David Stearns systematically replaces fan favorites like Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo with defensive "grinders" and reclamation projects, Malusis warns that the honeymoon is over: Stearns has officially molded this team in his own image, and in New York, his "vision" better result in wins—or he’ll be the next one on the hot seat.

In this high-energy holiday edition, Marc "Moose" Malusis dives deep into the state of New York sports as 2025 comes to a close. The conversation kicks off with the New York Jets’ draft strategy, specifically whether the team should trade a haul of picks to move up for Indiana quarterback Francisco Mendoza. Malusis weighs the massive capital required against the desperate need for a long-term solution under center, referencing the cautionary tale of Sam Darnold’s development. The focus then shifts to the New York Mets, where Moose handles a flurry of calls from frustrated fans. The debate centers on David Stearns’ analytical approach to player valuation, the departure of homegrown stars like Pete Alonso, and the glaring absence of a starting pitching rotation as Christmas approaches. Malusis also addresses rumors of a toxic clubhouse culture and the pressure on manager Carlos Mendoza to reign in a team of high-priced egos. Finally, the show touches on the Giants' coaching future and the nuances of raising "good human beings" in a fast-paced world.

In this holiday edition of the program, Marc Malusis tackles the modern intersection of family life and sports. The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the "forbidden fruit" of sports betting, as Marc discusses how to navigate the rise of gambling culture with his three sons. He reflects on his own childhood memories—from the pressure of making Christmas magical for his kids to the specific science of his holiday menu (featuring a spiral ham and homemade stuffed shells). The conversation then shifts to the field with NFL Insider Brian Baldinger, where the two break down the shifting landscape of the AFC and NFC. They discuss the resurgence of Philip Rivers, the potential for John Harbaugh to land with the Giants, and the current state of the Jets under Aaron Glenn. Between Mets hot takes and holiday prep, it’s a comprehensive look at sports and life as the year winds down.

In this fast-paced segment, Marc Malusis breaks down the pivotal decisions facing New York’s biggest franchises. He dives into the NFL Draft debate, weighing the high-stakes potential of Fernando Mendoza against the technical polish of Simpson, while cautioning the Jets against repeating their history of "convincing themselves" into a quarterback. The conversation then shifts to the ice, where Malusis offers a sobering evaluation of the New York Rangers. He discusses the closing championship window, the lack of homegrown player development, and the tough reality of navigating a veteran roster in a salary-cap world. Whether it’s draft capital or blue-line struggles, Malusis provides the essential New York sports perspective.

In this segment, Marc "Moose" Malusis dives deep into the state of the New York Rangers as they head into the 2025 holiday season. Following a call from a long-time listener, Moose offers a searing critique of Chris Drury’s roster management, arguing that the team has become "older, slower, and more expensive." The discussion heats up as Moose suggests the unthinkable: trading away superstar assets like Igor Shesterkin and Artemi Panarin to capitalize on their value before the core completely regresses. From the lack of homegrown development to the missed opportunities of recent trade deadlines, Malusis delivers a raw look at why the Rangers' championship window may have officially slammed shut.

In this segment, Marc Malusis fields a call from "Angel in the Bronx," who expresses deep concern over the New York Jets’ history of "throwing rookies to the wolves" too early. Referencing the failed tenures of Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson, the discussion shifts to the potential 2026 top prospect Fernando Mendoza (the recent Indiana Heisman winner). Malusis argues that while the Jets often rush development to spark a "maturation process," the success of a quarterback depends more on the individual player's scouting and the team's internal pressure to win immediately.

In this segment, Marc Malusis dives into the high-stakes debate surrounding the upcoming NFL Draft and whether the New York Giants should use a potential #1 overall pick on quarterback prospect Mendoza. While acknowledgeing the team's desperate need for a signal-caller, Malusis expresses skepticism, comparing Mendoza’s ceiling to other prospects like Alabama’s Simpson. He argues that the organization must avoid the "trap" of forcing a selection based on need rather than evaluation. Instead, Moose explores the tactical advantage of trading down to acquire massive draft capital, suggesting that if several teams fall in love with Mendoza, the Giants might be better off building a deeper roster rather than betting it all on one arm.
