    S&P’s Why Not Us: Episode #15
    Nov 1 2026
    ## Why Not Us — Episode 15 (Halloween Special) **Hosts:** Scott Greenhut & Peter Oltchick **Recorded:** Halloween --- ### Show Notes with Timestamps **0:00 — Cold Open** - Scott shares that a colleague's son was just called up by the Washington Capitals. **0:25 — Halloween Intro** - Scott (Indiana Jones) and Peter (Waldo) record on Halloween. "The scariest thing in New York right now is the Jets pass defense." **1:23 — World's Largest Pumpkin** - New Guinness World Record set October 10th: **3,156 lbs** by Rhode Island's Ron Wallace — first pumpkin ever to clear 3,000 pounds, beating the prior record by 200+ lbs. - Wallace is taking a year off: "Let someone else chase it for a year. If someone breaks it, I'll get back at it." **3:26 — Show Overview** - Today's lineup: Brewers' World Series title, PTI's 25th anniversary, Knicks' early play, and more NFL. **3:54 — NFL: New York Giants (4-2-1, 1st in NFC East)** - **Week 6 vs. Saints (4:19):** Dominated the first half but collapsed in 90 seconds — kickoff return, 58-yard field goal, fumble recovery TD with one second left. Jameis Winston implodes; Giants outgained NO 461-318 but lost the turnover battle 4-1. - **Week 7 vs. Texans (5:31):** J.J. McCarthy — 20/28, 252 yards. Cam Skattebo runs for 124 yards and a backflip TD. Defense holds C.J. Stroud to a season-low 153 yards. Giants win in OT after a prevent defense scare. - **Playoff odds (7:02):** The Athletic — 52% playoffs, 44.8% division. ESPN — 35% playoffs, 31% division. Potential QB controversy brewing. **7:48 — NFL: New York Jets (2-5)** - Week 6 vs. Dolphins: Outcoached and outplayed. Red zone and short-yardage failures continue. - **Stat of doom (8:16):** Opponents 107, Jets 6 in the last two minutes of the first half over the last 24 games. - Peter wants more wins, more Garrett Wilson targets inside the 10, and opportunistic selling at the trade deadline. **10:12 — NFL Trade Deadline (Nov 10)** - **Giants targets:** Running back (Jonathan Taylor, Tony Pollard), defensive line (Grover Stewart). Colts reportedly open to Taylor trade proposals. - **Jets angle:** Indy's first-round pick could improve with a Taylor trade. - **Buffalo Bills (13:00):** Super Bowl aspirations but weak defense — could target a safety and/or edge rusher. **13:33 — MLB: Milwaukee Brewers — World Series Champions** - 103 regular-season wins, 11-2 in the playoffs, won in five games. Deepest lineup, cleaner defense, dominant bullpen. - **WS MVP: William Contreras (14:19):** 19 hits (led all of baseball), OPS over 1,000, threw out 5 of 10 runners. Eighth catcher ever to win WS MVP. 67% success on 33 ABS challenges in regular season, 10/13 in the World Series. - **Christian Yelich & Robin Yount (15:27):** On-field embrace echoed Patrick Ewing and Cat Clemens after Game 5. - **Pat Murphy (15:42):** Called his team "orange lifesavers" — the overlooked will be more motivated. - **Jake Bowers / Bob Uecker (16:26):** Bowers gave the final-out ball to Coach Murphy. Robin Yount drove Uecker's Harley onto the parade stage. **17:11 — MLB Hot Stove Preview** - Likely lockout December 1st — expect a rush of signings before the deadline. Last lockout: six players signed nine-figure deals before Thanksgiving. - **Top free agent: Tarik Skubal (17:59):** Projected 7-8 years, $350M+, potentially topping Yamamoto's AAV. - **Mets priorities (18:44):** Starting pitching — Skubal, Clay Holmes reunion, Michael King. First base gap could mean Jake Bowers or Ty France. - Freddy Peralta: Mets traded him in July — an Act II seems unlikely for both sides. **19:56 — 25th Anniversary: Pardon the Interruption** - Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon — former Washington Post sportswriters, still the best to ever do it on TV. Both hosts signed through 2028. - Show's secret sauce: thoughtful, organic, entertaining debate between two guys who genuinely enjoy each other's company. **22:05 — NHL: New York Rangers** - Goaltending crisis: Igor's absence exposes the crease. Dylan Garand reverting to middling form. Three straight losses: 5-4 at Toronto, 7-4 at Ottawa, 6-3 vs. LA. - Bright spots: Adam Fox piling up assists, Alexis Lafrenière breaking out, J.T. Miller playing like a captain. - Connor Hellebuyck released by Winnipeg — now a New Jersey Devil. Rangers too invested in Igor to pursue him. **24:44 — "What's the Word?" — Knicks' Opening Two Weeks** - Scott says **"Rusty"** (24:54) — short summer, Brunson wrist surgery, poor shooting, not cohesive but effort is there. - Peter says **"Sluggish"** (25:37) — natural letdown, Drummond replacing Mitchell Robinson, Mike Brown waiting for big leads to experiment with rotations. **26:39 — "What's the Word?" — Sixers vs. Celtics, Nov 10** - Scott says **"Fraught"** (26:46) — Jaylen Brown's first game against Boston after being traded for Paul George. Brown and Tatum not exchanging love notes. Brown skipped the preseason matchup and watched from the locker ...

    S&P's Why Not Us? — Episode #14

    Scott and Peter are back with a loaded lineup. First, Peter introduces the NBA's new flopping crackdown and the "STEM" acronym heading into the season (7:46). Then Scott breaks down the cardiac New York Giants' wild start, including Jameis Winston's historic numbers, Malik Nabers' emergence, and a look ahead to the Saints (9:19). Peter follows with his Jets — a bounce-back win over Cleveland, a rising defense, and a Week 6 showdown in New England (13:48). They zoom out on the NFL: the quiet dominance of the 4-0 Chiefs, Travis Kelce chasing history, and a big Sunday nighter between Dallas and Green Bay (18:11).

    The guys pivot to the MLB playoffs, where they've been rooting hard for the Milwaukee Brewers — celebrating a historic sweep of the Dodgers, Jake Bowers' breakout, and the one-and-only Pat Murphy (21:27). They check in on the ALCS, Cleveland's lead, and a weather-delayed schedule (25:50).

    In the NBA season preview, Scott and Peter play fill-in-the-blank: the biggest threat to the Knicks in the East (Scott says Boston, Peter goes off the board with Toronto), and what it'll take for the Knicks to return to the Finals (27:31).

    Finally, an ode to Snoopy in honor of Peanuts' 75th anniversary — TV specials, Macy's Parade floats, alter egos from the World War I Flying Ace to the Beagle Scout, and a deep dive into Snoopy's baseball career on Charlie Brown's team (35:26). The boys close it out and put Episode #14 in the books (45:50).

They close with their TV Mount Rushmore picks inspired by The New York Times' top 100 shows of the 21st century.
