Best of the Giants on WFAN: Front Office Drama

01 Mar 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What insights do Evan, Tiki, and Shaun share about the Giants' front office dynamics?

1.516 - 29.457 Unknown

I do want to play you this clip since Dan sent it to me. This is over a year ago. Me talking enthusiastically about Aaron Glenn. I don't know what it is. I'm not exactly sure. I've been trying to pinpoint it over the last 24 hours. I am irrationally giddy about this hire. Aaron Glenn feels like the guy we've been waiting for. How many times have I gone down that road? You're right. Well, I did.

0

29.537 - 50.127 Unknown

I did feel that way. And what's funny is you could say this about, I'll use the presidential comparison when you first vote for somebody. Because a lot of Americans will vote for somebody. And then four years later, they're sick of them. It happens a lot, right? So whether it was Obama, Trump, doesn't matter, right? You love the rhetoric at first. You're like, yeah, I like this. Hope and change.

0

50.648 - 51.569 Unknown

This is great.

Chapter 2: What were Joe Schoen's comments at the NFL Combine?

52.39 - 74.32 Unknown

They're going to build the wall. Pay for it. This is great. And then four years later, there's a lot of Americans who see the same stuff. Yeah. And they're like, hope and change my ass. Yeah, nothing's changed. And we had no hope left. What the hell? Build that wall, my ass. And I feel like that's me a year into Aaron Glenn. Like everything he said a year ago, I believed. I bought it.

0

74.36 - 84.531 Unknown

I'm voting for him. Like, you're my guy. And then a year later, he's honestly saying similar grandiose things, except it pisses me off. Yeah, because he's a one. You just got to win.

0

84.631 - 84.932 Tiki Barber

Yes.

0

85.072 - 85.833 Unknown

It's very simple.

0

Chapter 3: How does Craig Carton view Joe Schoen's role in the Giants' front office?

85.853 - 102.718 Unknown

And if you don't win, the tone needs to just be slightly different. Yes. But where I do give Darren Mugia a lot of credit is the Brees Hall announcement yesterday, which was a huge story that he confirmed that Brees Hall is going to be on the Jets in 2026. I believe him. I don't think this is some kind of game. They're either going to sign him or they're going to franchise tag him.

0

102.738 - 110.65 Unknown

And I think that's the wise decision. It's the decision I recommended a few weeks ago. Not that Darren Mugia is listening to me. Daryl, Mr. Smiles, Mugia.

0

Chapter 4: What potential smokescreen is the Giants reportedly using regarding Jeremiah Love?

110.63 - 127.221 Unknown

But I do think it's the right decision. So I hope they get a long-term deal done. I think it's better for the Jets. It could bring the cap number down a little bit. And it's also good for Brees. I mean, Brees wants to be taken care of. We all understand why franchise tags are not really appealing to players despite them getting a lot of money. So I do now hope that they can work something out.

0

127.361 - 134.195 Unknown

I think that they will. You also want guys... In the best moods. Right. Especially when you're the Jets.

0

134.215 - 145.8 Tiki Barber

Right. But it seems like they are trying to work out a long-term deal. I think so. And that's the best for everybody because of how good he's been. But also, you just need a competent, consistent running back.

0

145.78 - 149.444 Unknown

Absolutely. You want as many weapons on offense for whomever the quarterback is.

0

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about the perception of Joe Shane's position?

149.844 - 170.604 Unknown

Whether it's a veteran, whether it's a young guy you're giving a shot to, whether it's somebody you draft. And Brees Hall certainly supplies that. I'll tell you why I'm pissed at the Giants coming up in a few minutes, but let's get to some of your calls. 888-808-1019. James in Ronkonkoma. Good morning, James. Good morning, gentlemen. Listen, I'm sick of the Jets. I've been a Jet fan since 1969.

0

170.825 - 198.337 Unknown

Like Joe, I'm 67, a little younger. I got a greatest, I got a better story I want to give to you this morning. My youngest son is turned 28 yesterday. As of a year ago, he set the pull-up record for eight hours at 5,450. It's official. What? As of this weekend. No, Evan, forget that. And guys, I love you both. I miss you on the drive part. Forget that. Forget that.

0

199.058 - 214.721 Unknown

This Saturday, now my son weighs 180 pounds. He broke the 12 and the 24. Listen to these numbers. The 12-hour was $7,300. Okay? He did $8,090. What? Wow.

0

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Giants' front office hierarchy?

214.741 - 246.889 Unknown

Forget that. Forget that. Forget that. The 24-hour was just broken in the end of January by Enrique. I forget his last name. He lives in Mexico. He did $12,345. My son finished in 22 hours. 12,450. Wow. In weight, Kiki. You'd appreciate this, Kiki. In weight, he picked up 2,200,000 pounds. Oh, my God. Can I ask you a dumb question?

0

246.989 - 247.751 Tiki Barber

It's not official yet.

0

247.771 - 257.612 Unknown

That is insane. Does he get breaks, or is it like, Kali, how does that work? Well, no, you do sex. like anything else. You do so many per minute, 750 an hour kind of ideas.

0

257.753 - 261.099 Tiki Barber

It's just the consistency of doing it over and over and over.

0

261.38 - 269.697 Unknown

You know, that's just rough, man. That is, I almost want to challenge you because we have these bars at the WFAN studio and I've seen Tiki do pull-ups before. Yeah.

269.677 - 285.893 Tiki Barber

How many can you do in a row before your arms just give out? I can probably do – well, it's different because this is a close bar. So it's just – my muscles are contracted, not really out like a real pull-up bar. So I could probably do 20, maybe 18 or 20. And that's it?

Chapter 7: What concerns do the hosts express about the Giants' future direction?

286.193 - 293.981 Tiki Barber

And then that's it. And then I'd be shot. And then to do it again, it would take me, I don't know, 45 minutes before I felt like I could do another 20. And look at this kid.

0

294.261 - 298.548 Unknown

The best part about that is – Sean's reaction to that phone call was... Well, he's also light.

0

298.648 - 299.53 Tiki Barber

The kid's probably light.

0

299.55 - 300.391 Unknown

Yeah, well, he's 180.

0

300.612 - 308.707 Tiki Barber

Yeah, he's 180. He said 180. 180's heavy. How heavy are you? I probably weigh 192, 3, something like that.

308.768 - 327.597 Unknown

No excuses. That kid's a maniac. Wow. Sean was so disgusted by that phone call because he was almost like, we're talking Jets. You know, we're the Jets. But don't you understand? I'm starting to understand this as a Jet fan. The Jet fan is starting to not even care to where they'll just say on Sports Talk Radio, I hate the Jets. I don't care about them. Let me tell you about my son's home record.

327.737 - 336.808 Evan Roberts

It was a great record. He should be proud. But, yeah, he kind of dissuaded away from a previous conversation I had when screening him. Who cares? He got past the goalie. What are you going to do? You know what? Get everybody through.

337.008 - 346.421 Unknown

Are we getting to the point with the Jets where it's like... Everything we're saying is true and you care, but then you lose the care. And that's scary. And that's not scary for me because I'm old enough where I'm always going to care.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts analyze the Giants' draft strategy and potential trades?

346.862 - 354.532 Unknown

But there's a 12-year-old who's just not going to care anymore. That's a big 12-year-old, dude. Well, I know. I made up a 12-year-old. His son was 28. Oh, 28.

0

354.672 - 357.356 Evan Roberts

By the way, probably a better athlete than some of the Jets currently.

0

358.117 - 382.641 Unknown

So maybe get him on the team. I mean, he ain't that far off. Let's go to Sam in Lakewood. What's up, Sam? All right, first I want to apologize to Sean. I just want to say I could do a grand total of zero pull-ups, by the way. Me too. I'm with you. All right, so we have to get some perspective right now. This new head coach, or I shouldn't say new anymore, Aaron Glenn, just watched –

0

383.296 - 407.202 Unknown

A head coach gets fired, not even mid-season. So how could you fault this guy? Of course he has not had success. He has not been successful as a head coach, as a quote-unquote superpower play caller. But we have to understand, he's preserving his own job. Mushi has some runway. We said it before, we understand it. This guy, whatever he says, you cannot take seriously.

0

407.522 - 426.476 Unknown

And like Kiki said, until there is success under his belt, I will just tune out everything he says on the podium. It's white noise. It's nonsense. So whatever. Yeah, we're a cesspool. Yes, we have no quarterback. Yes, our skilled position room is inept. Yes, our defense is a joke. But you know what?

426.496 - 439.239 Unknown

Why are we focusing on a head coach that has a zero talent roster that just cleaned house completely, admitting to all of his mistakes? Is he the answer? Absolutely not. But should we take what he says seriously? No!

439.319 - 461.532 Tiki Barber

Who cares? I mean, it's a good way to think about it because you kind of need success before you can believe. Right. And it just is what it is. And I think that's... It's clearly from a fan standpoint and a media standpoint. But I would... The team probably does believe. Because that's just the nature of an athlete in season in your current situation. But...

461.512 - 466.458 Tiki Barber

You almost feel like Aaron Glenn has to say these things so that he can keep believing in him.

466.478 - 486.548 Unknown

Right. It's almost like you say it for yourself. Yes. And, you know, you mentioned how defense is my superpower is going to be a phrase that lives with him. And I agree with that, even though that didn't bother me yesterday. I totally agree that that's the clip. That's the drop that all of us are going to play around. Right. And we're all going to do it every time the Jets give up 80 points.
