Jimmy sporting the Belichick look today but sans guest which is a change of pace. Good to see him & Sal banter which begs the question that hopefully they can address which is when did they become friends and where did they meet? They come from different realms of the sports media industry so curious about that. Nevertheless, it was a solid episode with some good questions although Jimmy claiming he wouldn't care if the Mets beat the Yankees in a Subway Series is preposterous but to each his own. J-Train always entertaining as the wannabe curmudgeon as he pines so hard to be Larry David and Sal clueless again ("what is ESPN Plus") were some of the other highlights. Short episode so short review this week.
