Born in '87 Justin Appel

The “Born in ‘87” Pod is Back! It’s an emergency pod because the man that tormented us as Jets fans for over 2 decades, Tom Brady, is finally gone (hopefully). Adam and Justin debate how much Brady truly tormented the Jets versus the Jets just being an inept franchise (0:30), and what Brady’s retirement means for the Jets and our psyches as fans. Also, with Brady and Roethlisberger now gone, it feels like an NFL leaf has been turned, and we discuss where we think Zach Wilson could potentially end up in the NFL (and particularly the AFC) QB hierarchy.

The Mets, Jets and Knicks are always terrible and 2021 was only slightly different (I guess the Knicks did make the playoffs). For the final pod of 2021, Ross Green joins Justin and Adam for the annual “Born in ‘87” 10 Worst Mets, Jets and Knicks moments of the year countdown (3:40). If you listen to us and root for these terrible teams, you are used to the misery, so listen to our end of year countdown and as always, hope next year will be better.

At the end of the pod we make Week 17 NFL Picks (1:12:53).

Thank you for listening in 2021 and we promise to continue bringing you great content in 2022!

On today’s pod, we rank the Mets, Jets and Knicks in order of how close we think each team is to a championship, aka, our “Crap Rankings” (0:30). We like to dream and think that one day we will see one of our three beloved teams win a championship, so from time to time on this pod, we like to come up with a “Crap Ranking” to determine the order of how close each of our teams is to that illustrious title. Generally, we just do this to torture ourselves because we will probably never see any of our teams win a championship, but ranking the teams in this way allows us to delve into the incompetency of these organizations and project down the road to see if any could eventually become true contenders. After we torture ourselves by ranking the three crappy teams we root for, at the end of the pod we make Week 15 NFL Picks (45:14).

Max Scherzer (as well as Starling Marte, Eduardo Escobar and Mark Canha) are New York Mets. Steve Cohen is the greatest owner of all time, Billy Eppler is the greatest GM of all time, and everything is Amazin’ when it comes to the Mets! On this episode of the “Born in ’87” pod, Justin and Adam are joined by recurring guests Travis Williams and Alex Bigelisen for an unusually happy episode of the pod, as we celebrate all of the Mets big signings, including the historic signing of Max Scherzer (0:12). At the end of the pod we make Week 13 NFL Picks (49:18).

It is a special Thanksgiving Edition of the Born in ’87 Podcast, but since we are Mets, Jets and Knicks fans and have nothing to be (sports) thankful for, on today’s pod we look back at our last 10 years of sports fandom and pick a “What If?” scenario for each team, and ponder how the last decade may have played out differently if these topics we discuss did in fact happen (0:43). After we discuss a What-If scenario for each of the Jets, Mets and Knicks, at the end of the pod we make Week 12 NFL Picks (27:25).

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Noah Syndergaard is no longer a Met and the Mets have finally hired a General Manager. Clearly this called for an (albeit delayed) emergency pod. Noah Syndergaard was one of our favorite Mets over the past 7 years, and seeing him leave brought out a lot of emotion. Adam and Justin try to come to grips with the fact that Noah will be pitching in Anaheim next season (0:32), while also discussing the Mets hiring new GM Billy Eppler (13:04). We also breakdown the miserable déjà vu we are experiencing with the Jets starting Joe Flacco over Mike White at Quarterback this Sunday against Miami (21:41), and at the end of the pod we make our Week 11 NFL Picks (31:14).
