Marc Malusis doesn't pull any punches following the Giants’ 16–13 loss to the Vikings, calling Jaxson Dart’s performance "bad" and a "big-time learning lesson." He engages in a heated debate over Dart's dual-threat identity—arguing that while the rookie needs to avoid unnecessary "stiff-arms" and sideline hits to stay healthy, the coaching staff cannot completely strip away his mobility without ruining his game. Malusis also shuts down "illogical" trade rumors involving Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, insisting that despite the Week 16 clunker, Dart remains the answer for Big Blue.

Marc Malusis dives into the chaotic state of the New York Giants, focusing on rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart. While fans and callers are frustrated by conservative play-calling and recent blowout losses, Moose argues that the 2025 season is strictly about "learning what Dart is looking at." He highlights Dart’s record-breaking athleticism while warning that without a new coaching philosophy and better protection, the Giants risk "alligator-arming" their future away. It’s a passionate plea to see the forest through the trees: Dart is the guy, but the organization must learn how to win around him.

In this high-energy segment, Marc "Moose" Malusis tackles the perennial dysfunction of the New York Jets, a franchise that hasn't seen a playoff game since 2010. Responding to a frustrated caller, Moose argues that despite the organization’s history of draft busts like Zach Wilson, they cannot afford to be paralyzed by fear. He highlights Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman-winning standout from Indiana, as the "apple of the eye" for a team that desperately needs a franchise pillar. Malusis breaks down why the Jets must utilize their massive draft capital—bolstered by the trades of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams—to trade up and secure a quarterback who can finally win on a rookie deal. It’s a raw look at a fan base tired of excuses and a host demanding the "adults in the room" finally get the most important position in sports right.

In this high-octane clip, Marc "Moose" Malusis takes a detour from the Giants and Jets disaster zones to break down the brutal beauty of Saratoga and Lake Placid in the dead of winter. After a caller paints a picture of zero-degree nights and picturesque downtowns, Moose fires back with his own legendary—and painful—Upstate history. From the Olympic Oval to a concussion-inducing toboggan ride that landed him in an MRI machine at Mount Sinai, Malusis delivers a "fiery" warning to anyone headed north: pack the Under Armour, watch out for the ice, and get ready for a winter that’s as tough as New York football.

In a scathing Monday morning opening, Marc Malusis reacts to reports that New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn is safe for a second year despite a disastrous three-game skid and a humiliating 29-6 loss to the New Orleans Saints. While Malusis acknowledges that Glenn has cleaned up the locker room "nonsense" and "leaks" that plagued the Robert Saleh/Aaron Rodgers era, he argues that the actual results on the field are an "indictment" of his leadership. Moose highlights the hypocrisy of Glenn firing his own defensive coordinator, Steve Wilks, mid-season while the team simultaneously regresses into a full-scale rebuild. Comparing the Jets' stagnation to the upward trajectory of Kellen Moore's Saints and the quarterback hope the Giants have with Jaxson Dart, Malusis warns that Glenn’s "tough love" and Bill Parcells-inspired coaching style mean nothing if they don't lead to wins. For Moose, Glenn being "safe" isn't a victory for the organization—it’s a sign of how far they’ve fallen.

It’s a bleak Monday midday at WFAN as Marc Malusis rings in the final week before Christmas with a scorched-earth assessment of the Giants and Jets. With the 2025 season effectively over for both franchises, "Moose" targets the Giants' lack of identity, slamming the "boring" and "fearful" game plan against the Vikings that stunted rookie Jaxson Dart’s growth. From Darius Slayton’s drops to Abdul Carter’s costly penalties, Malusis demands a total culture shift and a "clean sweep" of the front office if necessary. He contrasts the local dysfunction with the resurgence of the Patriots, delivering a wake-up call to the Giants and Jets: the New York standard has officially hit rock bottom, and it's time to stop the "nonsense."
