Seattle and the Rams just gave us an instant classic on Thursday Night Football. The Seahawks were down 16 points in the 4th quarter and somehow stormed all the way back to win 38-37 in overtime, capped by a touchdown and a game-winning two-point conversion. Seattle leaned into aggression all night with multiple two-point tries, and the comeback included a 58-yard punt return TD that flipped the momentum in a hurry. We break down the turning points, the controversial two-point sequence that had everyone screaming at their TVs, and why this game could swing the NFC West race the rest of the way. Plus: Sam Darnold's rollercoaster night, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's OT score, and a monstrous Rams passing performance featuring Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua. ️ Locked Up Sports: New York Sports Talk

We break down the impact of big-name injuries around the league, including Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons, and what their absences could mean moving forward.

The Queens Baseball Convention was billed as a celebration of Mets baseball — a fan fest bringing together legends, current players, media voices, and content creators. On this episode of Locked Up Sports, we break it all down. We discuss the good, including an excellent live taping of SNY's Baseball Night in New Yorkfeaturing Sal Licata, Laura Albanese, and Keith Raad, and the great energy from Mets fans and fellow content creators throughout the day. We also share thoughts on hearing from current Mets third baseman Brett Baty and what he had to say. But we also address the sad moment of the event — watching 1986 World Series Champion Jesse Orosco struggle through an interview, appearing confused, losing his train of thought, and unable to answer basic questions. As fans who grew up watching him be part of Mets history, it was tough to see and raises uncomfortable but important questions. A real, honest recap of a day Mets fans won't forget — for all the right and wrong reasons. #Mets #QueensBaseballConvention #LockedUpSports #LGM #NewYorkMets #MetsFans #SNY #BaseballNightInNY #JesseOrosco #BrettBaty #MetsCommunity #NYCSports

The New York Mets just watched their core get blown up in 24 hours. Edwin Díaz walks to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a three-year, $69 million deal, and now reports say Pete Alonso is heading to the Baltimore Orioles for five years and $155 million. On this episode of Locked Up Sports, Bob breaks down how we got here: why the Mets couldn't (or wouldn't) keep their All-Star closer and their all-time home run leader, what the Brandon Nimmo–for–Marcus Semien trade really says about David Stearns' vision, and how all of this fits next to Juan Soto's record-shattering 15-year, $765 million contract. We'll hit the fan revolt, the front office spin, and then flip it forward: if you actually wanted to improve on last year's 83–79 season, is this really the way to do it? Or is there a path where losing Alonso and Díaz is step one of a bigger plan?

The New York Mets have been active so far early in this off-season but reports a swirling about them leaving the winter meetings with a big-time free agent slugger under contract. we discussed who that slugger is and if David Stearns will pull the trigger on a signing that could shift power within the divisionwe discuss the locker room nonsense reported this week about players not getting along and explain why it's not a big deal and a non-storyMarcus Semien, Why he's more than just an upgrade defensively and how we can help this team with his bat and improve the lineup heading into next season.

On this episode of Locked Up Sports, Bob and Brett break down everything from Jameis Winston's up-and-down performance in relief of Jaxson Dart, to a defense that once again melted in the fourth quarter, to a run game that flashed with Tyrone Tracy Jr. but couldn't carry them all the way.

We'll hit the betting line, matchups, injury updates on Dart's concussion status, and what a realistic “path to an upset” looks like — if there even is one — as the Giants look to snap an 11-game road losing streak.
