KNICKS BRUNSON FOR MVP| JETS TRADE FOR REDDICK| STEPH CURRY FED UP WITH DRAYMOND? |NY METS STINK!
The NY Jets made a trade with the Eagles this week for DE Hasson Reddick to fill the void in pass rushing that was created by the departure of Bryce Huff, who ironically signed with the Eagles as a free agent. Will he have a major impact? Will they extend him for more years?
The NY Mets started this MLB season on the note that most feared. An inept offense and a non effective pitching staff has them 0-3 after the first series of the season. Looks like its gonna be a long season.
On a much lighter note, Mike Steph discusses the origins of Mrs. Met . From her beginnings in the mid 70's to the reappearance in the mid 2000's, her journey has been interesting.
And lastly, a new segment debuts this week. Stephy Time will make it's introduction to the masses. Along with a couple notes on "group chat etiquette"
All That And More. Enjoy!

All that and more on a jam packed edition of the world renowned, hardly ever listened to "Salty Thoughts of Mike Steph Podcast". Enjoy!!

NYC Congestion Pricing is a controversial policy that has past in Albany and its intent is to garner funding for MTA projects to help public transportation achieve the upgrades that have been desperately needed.

And finally, President Biden was in the headlines this past week for what most thought was a controversial interview with a black southern family with Fried Chicken and Fries, unwittingly playing into the complaints that many have had with most thinking that him and the democratic party as a whole have taken the black community for granted over the years and especially during this latest election cycle.

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs return to the super bowl for the 2nd consecutive year in defense of their championship by defeating the Ravens in Baltimore. They displayed the DNA of a champion while unfortunately the Lamar Jackson led Ravens unraveled and became undisciplined at the worst times. Is this the biggest loss of Jackson's career?
The Detroit Lions had a 24-7 lead midway thru the 3rd quarter over the Niners. And then it unraveled. Did Dan Campbell cost them a victory with his overaggressive playcalling? Did the Lions choke away an super bowl opportunity? Did Brock Purdy prove to the detractors his worth? Are the Lions ever going to get back to this position in the near future?

Episode 31: "Jets Raided In Vegas"
The NY Jets put on another pathetic display of offense in their 16-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Numerous self inflicted wounds prevented the Jets from maintaining any momentum. Foolish penalties, inopportune missteps, dropped passes from supposed veterans leaders all made this past Sunday night in the desert, a fruitless trip. But whose fault is it? Is coaching to blame? Lack of discipline? Zach Wilson has been the punching bag for the NY media, but is he the lone culprit? And how long can Garrett Wilson prevent himself from blowing his lid? HC Robert Saleh has his hands full and Mike Steph will give his "salty thoughts" on all of it.

Episode 30: "JULIUS RANDLE IS TRASH!" (Knicks start off sluggish)
Julius Randle has had a horrendous start to this NBA season. He's currently shooting sub 30% both from 3pt range and overall.

Episode 29: "The Miracle @Metlife" (Jets Outlast The Giants In OT)
The NY Jets beat the NY Giants 13-10, in one of the worst games in recent history. The Miracle at Met-life helped "gang green" gain their 3rd consecutive victory to put them over .500 at a record of 4-3. Both teams combined for 4 for 34 on 3rd down conversions and 24 punts. It took a missed FG by Graham Gano with 26 secs remaining to give the Jets life. Zach Wilson lead the team down the field and put them in position to tie with 1 second remaining. The Jets ultimately won in OT. Sloppy game on both sides and Mike Steph has a load of "salty thoughts" on this miraculous victory.
The NY Knicks kicked off their season this past week. There are some troubling signs already rearing its head. Julius Randle has had a horrendous start shooting 27percent from the field and has been underwhelming. Jalen Brunson has started off slow but Mike Steph has confidence in him bouncing back once he gets his legs back after the FIBA championships. Overreactions are on the menu.

The NY Jets beat the Philadelphia Eagles 20-14, to go into their bye week with a 2nd consecutive win. The win also ended the 0 and 12 record against the Eagles in their history. The defense rose to the occasion time and time again, forcing 4 turnovers. Jalen Hurts threw 3 interceptions, his last and most costly was with under 2 minutes to go in the game when Tony Adams picked off a pass intended for Dallas Goddert and returned it 45 yds to setup a TD run by Jets RB Breece Hall. Incredible resilience was shown by "Gang Green" to even up their record at 3-3 in the most unlikeliest of ways! Mike Steph will give you his "salty thoughts" on this victory in the only way he can.

Episode 25: "Shake It Off"
The Ny Jets got royally screwed by the refs in their SNF matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in a 23-20 loss. There was a silver lining in defeat though. Zach Wilson, beleaguered QB, had his best game as a pro on the bright lights and big stage. Hopefully that can catapult him into being the QB that the jets desperately needs to compete in the absence of Aaron Rodgers.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce relationship is discussed as to whether or not this union is for real or just for publicity. Mike Steph has his beliefs that the NFL just might have intervened to make sure that Taylor Swift's favorite team prevailed.
