It’s Season 8, Episode 18 of The Put it in the Books Show. Tonight, Rodriguez, Farace, and Producer Joe (holding it down behind the wall) are here, while Keith remains out. We continue to send all of our positive thoughts and well wishes his way, and we can’t wait to have him back with us ASAP.As for the Mets—things are rough. They’ve lost 5 straight, look lifeless in Filthadelphia, and are now 10 games behind the Filthies for the division lead. What once looked like a dream season has slipped into nightmare territory, with the Mets barely hanging onto the final Wild Card spot while the Giants, Reds, and Diamondbacks are breathing down their necks.Sixteen games remain. That’s it. Sixteen games to turn this thing around or watch it all go to waste. The starting pitching has been inconsistent outside of the rookies, the bullpen is shaky, and the lineup looks allergic to hitting in big spots. If there’s any chance to salvage this season, the Mets need to play with absolute desperation and ride the energy of a Citi Field crowd that must be rocking every single night.After tonight’s finale in Philly, the Mets head home for a critical stretch: three each against the Rangers, Padres, and Nationals. These games will either stabilize the season—or bury it.So join the crew as they dig into the standings, the collapse, and whether there’s still time for this team to salvage what was supposed to be a special year. Expect Farace’s frustration, Rodriguez’s spin, and Joe’s sarcasm behind the wall, all while Mets fans everywhere cling to that tiny word we know too well: “hope.” #Mets #PiitB

Episode 126 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct has the crew back at it — Farace is locked and loaded, Tim’s along for the ride with his classic go-with-the-flow takes, Melo hopes to jump in mid-show, and Anthony’s questionable but always ready with stats and spreadsheets if he suits up. Week 1 gave us plenty: Josh Allen dropping nearly 400 yards in Buffalo’s comeback, Derrick Henry looking like an unstoppable freight train — until he coughed up the ball and basically hand-delivered momentum to the Bills. The Dolphins? Flat-out embarrassing. Tua looked shaky, the defense couldn’t stop a Pop Warner team, and fans in Miami are already bracing for another season of disappointment. Up north, Giants fans are chanting for Jaxson Dart to replace Wilson before September even cools off — which tells you everything you need to know about how rough things looked in Week 1.Week 2 is lining up with some can’t-miss matchups. The Super Bowl rematch between the Chiefs and Eagles takes center stage in Arrowhead, and Mahomes is already making history just by walking onto the field. Packers vs. Commanders kicks off Thursday night in a sneaky-good battle of young QBs. The Ravens, fresh off their collapse, get a Browns team just pesky enough to make Baltimore sweat. Meanwhile, the Patriots and Dolphins face off with Miami desperate to prove they’re not the frauds they looked like in Week 1, and the Giants head into Dallas with fans ready to start “Dart Time” chants in primetime.And of course, the World Famous Picks Segment is back — where we pick every game on the board, straight-up winners across the Week 2 slate. Farace plants his flag, Tim shrugs his way through chaos with flow and feel, Melo (if he shows) will throw in a spicy underdog pick, and Anthony crunches spreadsheets until they scream. Plus, we’ll take a quick pulse check on fantasy football after Week 1 — who carried your team, who tanked it, and who’s already blowing up the waiver wire. NFL chaos, bold picks, and enough sarcasm to power through Week 2 — that’s Unsportsmanlike Conduct. #NFL #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros

The ⋯We Stomped You Out⋯ crew is back for Season 8, Episode 2, and if you thought Groundhog Day was over, think again—because Farace and Tim are officially reliving Week 1’s misery. The Giants got stomped by the Commanders, 21–6, and it was rough. Russell Wilson completed just 17 of 37 attempts for 168 yards, failing to find the end zone once. Offensive frustrations were clear: the line looked like Swiss cheese without Andrew Thomas (still sidelined with a foot injury), and the red zone was a total disaster. The run game? A joke—74 yards total, 44 of which came from Wilson himself scrambling. This marks the third straight season opener without a touchdown—historic in its bleakness.To say Malik Nabers was irritated would be an understatement. He hauled in five grabs for 71 yards but was spotted in a heated sideline exchange with Coach Daboll—no handshake, no love, just raw frustration. Meanwhile, rookie defender Abdul Carter showed flashes—lights out in limited action, with pressures, a QB hit, and even a special teams play stacked with impact—but only logged 54% of snaps.Now the big question: should Jaxson Dart be handed the reins? The crowd’s already calling for the rookie to replace Wilson, who’s walking on thin ice with a QB rating hovering around 59—a career embalming. ESPN’s Ben Solak warns that Dart’s debut should wait until the O-line improves, though—because right now, the blocking is so bad, it’d chew up any rookie alive.Oh, and coaches are sweating. Daboll's seat is getting hot fast as backlash pours in over the limp Week 1 showing. The dive into Week 2's looming Cowboys showdown (on the road!) sets the stage for some absolute fireworks.So buckle up for Episode 2: Farace is annoyed, Tim is raging, and the only thing hotter than their takes might just be how fast Dart gets thrown into the fire—or whether metaphoric torches are lit under Daboll first. #GMEN #Giants #NYG #WeStompedYouOut
