Andrew begins this week’s show by giving his thoughts on the NHL Trade Deadline. He dishes on why he actually liked the Deadline for the Rangers, why the Islanders need to blow it all up and why the hate towards the Vegas Golden Knights need to stop - they aren’t breaking any rules. Then, Allison Waxman of Metsmerized and MLB stopped by to talk about the crucial role women play in sports, why more needs to be done to encourage the next generation of women to pursue a career in sports, and who her idols in the industry were growing up. Allison and Andrew finish the show by discussing the 2024 New York Mets and the teams / players they are most excited to watch in the regular season.

Andrew begins this week’s show by reflecting on the tragic events at the Kansas City Super Bowl Parade on Wednesday. He is then joined on the show by rising star Jake Asman, host of The Jake Asman Show on YouTube. You can also hear Jake on ESPN Radio, ESPN New York and Mad Dog Sports Radio. After spending the entire week in Las Vegas, Jake hopped on the pod to help Andrew break down just an insane finish between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. Andrew and Jake also discussed the absolute magic of Patrick Mahomes, where he ranks in the upper-echelon of all-time greats, why you would be mad to bet against Mahomes and the Chiefs in 2024, moves Kansas City should make in Free Agency / the NFL Draft in order to go for the three-peat next year, why pending free agent WR’s Mike Evans and Tee Higgins makes a lot of sense for an offense that is in real need of a legit weapon, the genius of Steve Spagnuolo and that elite Chiefs defense, the Mahomes Vs. Brady debate in a big spot, why 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan wasn’t at fault for his team’s loss and why he deserves more respect and more plaudits and the dream Super Bowl for the NFL. Jake then sheds some light on his busy and incredible week on Radio Row in Vegas, before revealing the guests he enjoyed talking to the most. Finally, Andrew and Jake finish the show with some New York Jets talk and why Bill Belichick could be an option for the New York Giants in 2025.
